The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

The door of the mourning hall was kicked open, and two officials walked in.

As soon as Ning Lei saw the official, he ran over and said, "Sir, please help me. Please save me."

The two officials were surprised and said, "Tell me the truth about what is going on."

Ning Lei was so frightened that his mental defenses collapsed, and he directly confessed his crimes.

"Yes, it was me who killed my adoptive father's family. It was me..."

The two officers exchanged glances and immediately captured Ning Lei.

When Gu Mengyin and Jingchen left Zhuangzi, they were already surrounded by officials outside Zhuangzi.

After seeing that the matter was settled, the two got on their horses and continued on their way.

"Master is right, this person really can't change the fate of others casually with kindness, otherwise he will be the unlucky one."

"Master Ning didn't do anything wrong. Everything is fate."

Jingchen sighed and shook his head.

What Gu Mengyin and the others didn't know was that not long after they left, Yan Linyuan arrived outside Zhuangzi.

He got off his horse and went to the gatekeeper to inquire. He guessed that Gu Mengyin and the others should have stayed here for one night, but they had left now.

He continued walking towards Xijing City and reached Qingshan River at the fastest speed. He took out the talisman and sent a message to Gu Mengyin.

"Yinyin, where have you been?"

Gu Mengyin was galloping. When she heard Yan Linyuan's voice transmission, she was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard wrongly.

"It seems Bai Ning sent me a message." Gu Mengyin immediately reined in the horse.

Jingchen also stopped and said, "Little junior sister, what did you say?"

Gu Mengyin said: "Bai Ning sent me a message. He asked me where I was."

Jingchen bared his teeth, why is this man still lingering? He has clearly explained what he said, so why is he still pestering the junior sister?

"Little Junior Sister, don't reply. I'll ask. If the Regent has nothing serious to do, let's leave first."

Gu Mengyin frowned and said, "I can answer him."

Jingchen grabbed the transmission talisman in her hand and said seriously: "Little junior sister, you know in your heart that he is not the person you are looking for. If you break it, you will break it. When did you become so grinding? You follow me like this? He is involved in other matters, so if you meet your destined person in the future, how should you deal with it?"

"Can't we just be friends?"

Jingchen's eyes widened, "What do you think?"

Gu Mengyin lowered her eyes and let Jingchen take away the transmission talisman in her hand.

In fact, she knew that she should not be involved with Yan Linyuan, but she still couldn't help but want to get close to her.

She never likes to think too much and does things as she pleases, but he is not the person she is looking for.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Jingchen took the transmission note and sent it to Yan Linyuan.

"Your Majesty, we have been traveling day and night and are almost at the capital. Let's get on our way first."

Yan Linyuan's face darkened after hearing Jingchen's words.

He got on his horse again and walked in the direction they left.

As Yan Linyuan expected, when night fell, Gu Mengyin and the others arrived at the Qingshan River. The water in the Qingshan River was very fast, and the only way to cross the river was by boat.

Jingchen looked around but didn't see the ferry.

"It's strange. The ferry was obviously nearby when we came here, but why is it missing?"

Gu Mengyin looked at the darkening sky and said, "Let's find a place to stay first. It may be that the boatman went back after dark."

"kindness."

The two found a relatively flat piece of grass by the river to settle down.

Jingchen lit a fire and took out the dry food and roasted it on the fire.

"Senior Brother, I will catch two fish for you as a tooth sacrifice." Jingchen looked after Gu Mengyin, who looked a little gloomy after receiving the message from Yan Linyuan, so he wanted to make her happy. "How are you going to catch it when the river is so fast?"

"Don't worry, senior brother, I have a clever plan."

Jingchen went to pick up a bamboo pole and came to the river. Then he took out half a steamed bun, crushed it, recited a series of spells, and threw the steamed bun into the river.

Then tie straw to one end of the bamboo pole and throw the straw into the water.

Gu Mengyin was bored and came to Jingchen to watch. She didn't think she could catch fish this way.

"I'm coming."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jingchen picked up the pole and caught a big fat fish.

Gu Mengyin looked surprised at the fat fish that was thrown to the shore and was jumping around. This would work.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Jingchen caught four or five fish.

"It looks almost done. The fish seems to have weighed dozens of kilograms in the past few days, which is enough for the two of us."

Gu Mengyin took out a dagger from her body and prepared to clean the fish. Unexpectedly, as soon as she cut open the fish's belly, a bunch of blood-red stuff flowed out of its belly.

As a result, in the light of the torch, Gu Mengyin could clearly see that there was an incomplete finger among the pile of things.

"This fish is really fat. Is it possible that no one in this generation can fish and raise a fish to such a big size?"

Gu Mengyin cut open the bellies of the remaining fish, and without exception, some of the things flowing out of them were from humans.

She stood up with the dagger, and Jingchen thought she had taken care of it.

"How can a fish that eats carrion not be fat?"

Jingchen paused, "What? Rotten meat? Where did the rotten meat come from in this water..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized something. There were dead fish, but not many. There were no wild beasts around. The carrion that could grow the fish to such a big size... only human flesh remained.

Jingchen held a torch and squatted down to check, and almost vomited.

"Ahem! This is too disgusting."

Thanks to Gu Mengyin's sharp eyes, otherwise they would have eaten these things.

"Don't be the one who slipped and fell into the water and drowned."

Gu Mengyin held out a soul-searching talisman with her fingertips. After the talisman flew out, it quickly circled around and then returned to them.

"There is no abnormality in the soul-searching talisman, which means there are no wronged souls nearby."

"Maybe he drowned?"

Gu Mengyin raised her eyebrows, "Senior brother, I want to know if I can go down and take a look."

Jingchen's eyes twitched, "The river is so fast, do you want your senior brother to go down there and die?"

"Senior brother will hold his breath."

"If I don't go, there are no wronged souls anyway. At worst, I just won't eat fish."

Jingchen hummed and returned to the fire, sat down, picked up the roasted dry food and started eating.

Gu Mengyin walked to the river, and through the faint moonlight, she seemed to see a person on the other side of the river.

The man was standing on the shore and didn't seem to see Gu Mengyin.

Within a moment, the man slowly walked towards the river.

He seemed unaware of the danger of the river, and walked without any hesitation. Soon, the river water was up to his thighs.

Gu Mengyin frowned, lit a talisman and flew it over.

The firelight of the talisman illuminated the face of the person opposite.

The moment she saw his appearance clearly, Gu Mengyin's face darkened.
