Ghost Hand urged the horse to the other side of the carriage, and without dismounting, he looked down at Ghost Eye who was spitting blood on the ground.

"What's going on? You can fall off a horse while riding it?"

His tone was contemptuous and his voice was full of laughter, as if he was laughing at a joke.

Guiyan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and after a while he got up from the ground and said to Mr. Mo, "One of them must have died. I was attacked by the backlash."

Mr. Mo's eyes narrowed slightly: "Can you tell me which one it is?"

Ghost Eyes nodded: "Yes, but we will know after the sub-worm returns."

Mr. Mo said nothing and lowered the curtain.

Ghost Eyes covered his chest and climbed onto the horse's back. Ghost Hand chuckled: "Can you climb up? Do you need my help?"

Guiyan struggled to get on the horse: "Get lost."

Ghost Hand chuckled and walked to the other side of the carriage.

The team slowly drove towards Shencheng.

……

Before Governor Cao could even finish his tea, Cui Chong came in hastily: "Sir, Mu Baodi is dead."

Governor Cao almost choked: "Dead, dead?"

"Wasn't he fine just now? Yes, he was a little crazy just now, but he wasn't going to die."

Governor Cao was annoyed: "How come he died just after being brought in?"

Cui Chong's face was not looking good either: "They said she was like a madman, crying, shouting and making a fuss, insisting on going out, and then she banged her head against the door and died."

Governor Cao frowned. "How can I explain this to the prince and princess? I don't know if there is anything else to ask. This man died within a short time after being imprisoned."

Cui Chong sighed: "Well, how about I go and report this to the prince and princess?"

Governor Cao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter and you can take it with you."

"The corpse needs to be dealt with first and placed in the morgue."

"Yes."

Mu Baodi's body was moved to the morgue. The cell was dark. The moment she walked out, a black dot the size of rice crawled out of her ear, spread its wings, and flew away.

No one saw it.

……

It was almost evening when Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe brought the abbot back to the front hall from the mine.

Dinner has been served, steaming hot on the table. We wash our hands, sit down, and talk while eating.

The abbot spoke first, "We should prepare something to keep them warm at night. I think what they brought won't be enough."

Two prospectors came with their own luggage. When they saw the mine, they felt a kind of enthusiasm and insisted on resting near the mountain, saying that this was the rule.

To them, mountain exploration means communicating with the mountain. Mining requires the consent of the mountain, otherwise there will be a disaster.

Yan Ruyu did not comment. Every industry has different rules and beliefs. She is an atheist, but she does not necessarily require everyone to do the same.

On the contrary, she believes that it is better to be respectful when dealing with nature.

As human beings live in the world, we should have self-respect and self-reliance. However, if we are too arrogant and think that human beings are the masters of the world and ignore other living things, then nature will not let us off.

There is nothing wrong in having a sense of awe and compassion for all life.

"Okay," Yan Ruyu agreed readily, "I'll let Yinding arrange it then."

"I'll go too," the abbot said. "I get along well with them and we can work together in the future."

The abbot was very interested in this matter. He had nothing else to do normally, so this matter just happened to occupy his time and save him from boredom.

Yan Ruyu did not object and nodded in agreement.

Huo Changhe served her a bowl of soup: "Warm yourself up, and go and rest after dinner. I'll take care of the rest."

"Okay, I'll go back to my room and get ready."

We can’t give them anything too high-tech because they won’t be able to use it even if we give it to them. But flashlights, sleeping bags and the like are still acceptable.

Cui Chong arrived just as we were finishing our meal.

Brought a letter from Governor Cao and the news of Mu Baodi's death.

Judging from the crimes, all the members of the Mu family deserve to die. No one has clean hands and there is no injustice. But no one expected that Mu Baodi would die so soon.

After Yan Ruyu finished reading the letter, Huo Changhe said to Cui Chong, "Go back and tell Governor Cao that Mu Baodi deserves to die. Since she has already committed suicide, let her die."

Cui Chong breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."

Cui Chong had not yet had dinner. It was freezing cold, so it was a good time for him to eat before leaving.

Yan Ruyu was about to return to the courtyard when Xiang Guang came to report: "Princess, Sun Jishi has woken up and seems to be in much better spirits."

"Go and see."

Mr. Sun was crazy and stupid before, but now he has calmed down and looks a bit like his old self.

When Yan Ruyu came close to him, he was a little scared and shrank back.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just checking your pulse. How do you feel?"

Recorder Sun pursed his lips and said nothing. The abbot continued, "It was our wife who saved you and gave you acupuncture and medicine. Are you feeling better now?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Jishi looked at himself, bowed and said, "Thank you."

"I feel better."

Hearing him speak fluently and politely, Yan Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not really stupid, he was just too shocked for a moment and lost his mind. Fortunately, the time was not long and he has been rescued now.

"Then take a few more doses of medicine. Medicine for external injuries will be delivered tomorrow. Just focus on healing," Yan Ruyu said. "You will still work on the farm in the future."

Sun Ji Shi got off the bed, knelt down and kowtowed.

My mind has been unclear these days and I can’t remember many things, but I still have a vague impression of some things.

Looking at myself again, I realize that I have received a great favor from others.

Yan Ruyu glanced at the abbot, and the abbot came back to his senses and returned the hairpin to him.

When Recorder Sun saw the hairpin, he almost burst into tears again.

"A father is naturally heartbroken for losing his daughter, but you have to be more open-minded. Zhu'er is gone, and her spirit in heaven would not want you to be so sad. You have to look forward."

Recorder Sun held the hairpin tightly and nodded slowly.

Yan Ruyu hesitated for a moment, but still did not tell him that Zhu'er's body was in the yamen.

Forget it, let’s talk about it later. Or we can ask Governor Cao to help put the body into the coffin and then return it to him.

Otherwise, even though he has just recovered, he might not be able to bear it if he saw his daughter's body in that state.

It just so happened that Cui Chong hadn't left yet, so Yan Ruyu asked the abbot to give Cui Chong several dozen taels of silver to help him buy a coffin and get the matter done.

The abbot left quickly, and Yan Ruyu walked slowly back to the courtyard alone.

I thought I came to the village just to check out the mine, but I didn't expect to solve so many problems at once.

Yan Ruyu felt emotional but not very happy.

What exactly is Mr. Mo planning? The plan is so big that it makes her feel frightened.

Originally thought to be just a counselor, following the King of Wings or the Crown Prince, hoping to gain the credit of following the King so that he could be in the limelight in the future and bring glory to future generations.

But now it seems that is not the case. This person is still ambitious and seems to want to fight for the world.

He infiltrated almost every aspect, including money, strange people, and even the military.

Who is he?

Moreover, Yan Ruyu vaguely felt that there must be someone behind him, or at least a force supporting him.

Otherwise, from this meeting, we can see that he is not particularly old, no more than thirty-five at most.

How could it be possible to achieve what you have today without the help of powerful forces at over 30 years old?
