"As a result, not long after that, the old sister-in-law died. She fell into the river while washing clothes and drowned. The old man was crying with tears and snot running at the time. It was so miserable!" said the short man.

Everyone also remembered this incident, and there were gasps and hisses one after another.

"Later, their house belonged to this old man. Besides, the old sister-in-law was always frugal, so I guess she still had a lot of surplus food, plus the two pieces of cloth she had saved, so he should have gotten them all."

The old sister-in-law was a widow. Her husband died of illness, and then her son fell off a mountain and died while hunting. She was a miserable person.

The tall man looked at Lu Zhaoling in shock and asked her, "Aunt, are you saying that the old sister-in-law didn't drown herself, but was killed by that old man?"

Lu Zhaoling hummed.

"He has killed someone, so he should be right."

So you tell me, among these villagers, it can be seen at a glance that two of them have killed people, how can she be kind?

In addition, they came here to harm them, so she had to smile and say to them: Oh, you are so pitiful, we are willing to sacrifice ourselves to help you get through this difficult time?

Sorry, she's not that great.

"I really can't tell. You can't judge a person by his appearance!" said the short one.

He also glanced at the villagers, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should believe these people in his village.

Those people had very different reactions. Some were confused, some were scared, some were shocked, and some felt guilty.

"Auntie, please save us. You must be a very capable person!" The tall man and the short man looked at each other and begged Lu Zhaoling together.

"Please? This isn't a trick you guys are using to trick me into coming to the village, is it?" Lu Zhaoling was unmoved. "Didn't they say that the abbot was looking for a girl like me?"

"Miss, you can't go."

Qingyin and Qingbao became anxious and spoke out to stop them at the same time.

Although the young lady is capable, it sounds like those three people are too weird.

They can scare even a few-year-old child into committing murderous acts, so who knows what they will do after seeing the young lady?

"Miss, we still have to hurry on our way." Qingbao said anxiously.

As the young lady said, these people were quite evil and we had to trick them into coming into the village and hand them over to the fake abbot.

How can such a person be saved?

Lu Zhaoling turned and looked at Zhou Shiyue.

Zhou Shiyue shook his head at her.

The short and tall ones also followed Lu Zhaoling's gaze and looked over, but Qinglin blocked the way for Prince Jin, who turned slightly to the side so that they could not see him.

They now know that the other party must be of extraordinary identity.

However, when they met someone as capable as Lu Zhaoling, it was like they had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Aunt, please!"

The tall man begged again.

Zhou Shiyue called over a guard and whispered a few words to him. The guard nodded, jumped on his horse, turned his horse around and galloped towards the capital.

The short man noticed it and was immediately shocked.

"Are you going to report to the police?"

Lu Zhaoling understood Zhou Shiyue's intention. He didn't want her to enter the village, but he couldn't ignore this matter. If he didn't, if these people tricked others into going up the mountain, it might cause others to die in vain, so he planned to find someone to take over this matter.

They still have to go to Weiming Mountain. It would be best if the government could take over this matter.

"They are just three people. The government will definitely take them down." Lu Zhaoling said, "Don't worry. From your looks, you won't die anytime soon."

"Not recently?"

The tall man was startled. "Auntie, how many years is the most recent?"

"How many years? What good things are you thinking about? I will show you my whole life at a glance? Within half a month!" Lu Zhaoling said unhappily.

Why is she looking so far away?

"What if he dies in half a month?" The short one also became nervous.

Lu Zhaoling said, "Then one month. Okay, you guys do this kind of thing to hurt people. If you weren't so unlucky and hadn't succeeded once in the past ten days, you would have killed someone. Now that no one has been killed, you are lucky."

"Auntie, we don't dare to kill anyone, and we are not that vicious."

"You knew that if you sent someone to the fake master, their vitality might be sucked away and they would suddenly age, but you still planned to trick us into going there. Isn't that vicious? If the person you sent died, it would be the same as murder. And you still say you don't dare?"

Lu Zhaoling said this in a cold voice, watching the tall and short people lower their heads, and then glanced at the children.

"I can take the needles out of these children's heads now, but after we go back, you must find a way to prevent them from seeing those three people again, and prevent them from knowing that the needles have been taken out of the children. As long as the children don't make a fuss or cry, you adults just need to cooperate with the government to arrest them."

The parents of those children originally thought that Lu Zhaoling would ignore them, but now they were overjoyed to hear that she was still willing to save the children.

"Auntie, just save the child. It's okay for us."

They all started talking.

"Okay, stop calling me auntie." Lu Zhaoling didn't want to see these children suffer.

She asked the children to line up and she helped them take out the needles one by one.

She asked Qingyin to put all the needles in a flat box and put a talisman on it.

Zhou Shiyue called two guards forward.

"They stay here to support Chen Deshan. We have to hurry on our way."

If there really is a big problem with the dragon vein, it will be a bigger problem. More people will suffer and not be able to survive. It will be much more important than the current matter.

Lu Zhaoling thought about it, took out two talismans and handed them to the tall and short man.

"You two still have a conscience. Keep this amulet close to you. When the police come, help arrest the man."

The tall and the short man quickly took the talisman, as if they had found a treasure.

"Don't worry, we will make amends!"

Lu Zhaoling turned around and walked back to the carriage.

After they sped away, the children held hands and knelt down in the direction they left, kowtowed three times.

They were really scared these days, but the sister just now seemed to have dispelled most of their fear.

Adults, both tall and short, looked at the children's actions and glanced at each other.

This was spontaneous on the part of the kids and they hadn't expected it.

"Will grandma come back?" the tall man murmured.

After they were far away, Zhou Shiyue looked at Lu Zhaoling.

After getting back in the car, she was very quiet, sitting there with her eyes downcast, and no one knew what she was thinking.

He was really not used to her being so quiet.

Zhou Shiyue reached out and poked her face, "What are you thinking about?"

Only then did Lu Zhaoling look up at him.

"I wonder what those three guys are up to."

Zhou Shiyue said, "Have you thought about it?"

"I have some ideas, but I'm afraid it might scare you if I tell you."
