Chapter 88

"How is he?" Mo Long first asked Dongli Chief.

Dongli nodded his head: "He's cleared up, but I don't dare to untie him for a while."

Hearing that Bai Xi was awake, Mo Long and Xia Houfeng both heaved a sigh of relief.Xiahou Fengxing came to Bai Xi's side and poked his forehead with his finger: "You are lucky! Do you know how many people died inside and outside last night?"

Bai Xi shook her head nervously: "How many?"

"Six!" Xia Houfeng said, "Brother Long and I just went out to inquire about six people, exactly like you, and they drowned themselves to death."

Bai Xi's face turned pale when she heard this, and her whole body was bleeding.

Mo Long looked at Bai Xi seriously: "Think about it carefully, did someone cast some kind of magic spell on you in the teahouse yesterday?"

Bai Xi hurriedly tried to recall, after thinking for a long time, said with a bitter face: "No, haven't I been with you all the time?"

"I went down for a while, but has anyone looked for you?" Mo Long asked.

Bai Xi still shook her head: "No."

Everyone looked at each other.

Xia Houfeng immediately asked: "Did you eat something wrong?"

Bai Xi was even more aggrieved: "I just drink tea and eat melon seeds. I don't order anything too much. Brother Long knows about it. Besides, he has eaten everything I have eaten. We should be the same."

Mo Long nodded: "He's right,"

Feeling that this matter was really weird, Mo Long thought of the golden bell in her sleeve: Should I tell Xue Lanhe about this matter?Now that the ins and outs of the whole matter are not clear at all, how should I tell him?Now that Lan Nan is seriously ill, should he rush back because of something he has no clue about?Mo Long frowned deeply, thinking silently...

"Can you let me go first?"

Bai Xi's hands and feet were tightly bound, and he looked at Dong Lichang and the others pitifully.

Xia Houfeng immediately objected: "No, what if you go crazy again?"

"Let go of him." Mo Long had seen Bai Xi's appearance when his eyes were slackened, and knew that he was indeed sober now, "We are all here, and we are not afraid that something will happen to him."

In this way, Xia Houfeng untied Bai Xi, and warned him as he untied him: "Don't run around by yourself, lest something happens and it's too late to save you. By the way, I have to tie you up when I go to sleep at night! You are also a wicked way, Long." Brother saw that you didn't even notice, and you were able to sneak out by yourself."

Bai Xi rubbed her hands and feet, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know either."

Dong Lichang walked over to take his pulse, looked at Mo Long after a while, shook his head and said, "It's the same as yesterday, nothing unusual."

Mo Long took a deep breath and fixedly looked at Bai Xi.For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Bai Xi, and Bai Xi's hair was straightened by everyone's eyes: "I'm not hopeless, so don't look at me like this."

Hearing this, everyone either lowered their eyelids or turned their eyes away. Accompanied by inaudible sighs, Bai Xi sniffled and had the illusion that his life was not long.

In Donghai Mansion, Qingyue came to Bibo Palace in Lingjun early in the morning. After a night of thinking, she had already made a decision.

"Sister..." Ling Jun was slightly surprised to see her come so early.

Qingyue said with a smile: "There are algae freshly delivered from Penglai Island this morning. This year's first crop, I remember you like it, so I ordered them to mix it and send it over."

Ling Jun glanced at the tray carried by the maid, and said with a smile, "That's the taste! I haven't tasted it for many years."

Qingyue turned her head and told the maid to go to Zhanxingyuan to call Lingxi over, and said with a smile, "Little sister also likes to eat, but you two have quite similar tastes."

Ling Jun smiled and said: "Is my little sister eating for me all these years? Then I'm not at a loss."

Signaling the maids to put down all the dishes, Qingyue straightened her clothes and sat down, looking at Lingjun: "I have already thought about what you said yesterday."

Hearing this, Ling Jun immediately looked at her with solemn expression, looking forward to her.

Qingyue smiled slightly: "In the future, you will have to gradually take over the affairs of the East China Sea. Right now, you can handle the affairs of Xuanguo. Just remember not to overwork yourself."

Ling Jun was overjoyed and bowed to Qing Yue: "Thank you, sister!"

"Before that, you didn't know much about some things in Xuangu Kingdom. I have ordered the class manager and Nie Bo to help you. Nie Bo had participated in the battle of Xuangu before and negotiated the terms, so he has a better understanding of Xuangu Kingdom."

Ling Jun nodded again and again: "I see."

Qingyue originally wanted to order something, but when the words came to his lips, a voice in his heart whispered to himself: You can no longer control Lingjun like 300 years ago, you should let him do things on his own, if you want him to do everything according to himself Do what you say, I'm afraid that the conflict between the siblings will start again.Therefore, she just said: "...I am only worried about your body. Remember, don't go to bed late, and take the pills on time."

"I've written it all down, so don't worry." Ling Jun smiled, "Now I finally have something to do, otherwise I would eat and drink all day long and just watch you busy, and I would feel like a useless person."

"Nonsense, how can you be a useless person, you will still be in charge of the East China Sea in the future."

While the two were talking, Lingxi trotted in.

"Do you want to go out to play today? How about we change places instead of going to Xuanguo?" She looked at Qingyue expectantly, thinking that she was called here early in the morning to go out to play.

Qingyue smiled helplessly: "I won't go out today, but there are algae from Penglai Island, do you want to eat them?"

Lingxi was a little disappointed, and sat down next to her: "Of course I want to eat."

"Didn't sleep well last night?" Qingyue brushed her hair for her, seeing that the little girl seemed to be out of spirits.

Lingxi nodded: "Those things in Xuangu Kingdom are really annoying, sister, you have to teach them a lesson!"

"The matter of Xuangu Kingdom has been handed over to Lingjun." Qingyue said.

"Sister promised you?!" Lingxi looked at Lingjun in surprise.

Ling Jun smiled slightly at her: "Little sister, just don't worry, I will definitely teach them a lesson!"

Lingxi nodded again and again, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Last night, were there any guards arguing in your bedroom?"

Hearing this, Ling Jun was slightly taken aback: "...Arguing? When?"

Lingxi recounted what happened last night.

Ling Jun's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "It must be a dispute between the guards, wait for me to turn around and ask."

Qingyue frowned and said, "Call the chief guard and ask who was the guard on duty yesterday?"

"Sister! Since it's a matter of Bibo Palace," Ling Jun stopped her and said, "Let me handle it myself."

Qingyue had no choice but to nod: "That's fine, I have to go to the succession ceremony of Mr. Xishui in two days, and I have to take care of the affairs in the water mansion. The class manager will help you."

Seeing that her sister trusted him so much, which was unprecedented 300 years ago, Lingjun was very excited: "With me here, you just need to rest assured."

In Xuangu City, Mo Long returned to the teahouse yesterday, looking for any clues.

After yesterday's chaos, the teahouse was very deserted, and the tables, chairs and stools were damaged a lot. Although the store hired a carpenter to repair it overnight, it was barely repaired, and there was no time to touch up the paint.There are many mottled and missing corners on the tables and chairs, but fortunately, the children in the store are still enthusiastic, and when they see Mo Long, they greet him with a smile.

Mo Long sat down where Lingxi was sitting yesterday, ordered tea but didn't drink it.There were few customers in the store, so he seemed to be casually chatting with the waiter.

Regarding yesterday's sudden chaos, the shop waiter was also completely ignorant and ignorant, all he knew was that everyone was besieged by an evil spirit, slapping each other ruthlessly.Until now, the waiter in the shop still has lingering fears, afraid of doing it again, but would rather the shop be deserted.

"Has it been this 'lively' before?" Mo Long asked teasingly.

The waiter in the shop shook his head and said: "Guest officer, how can you say that! If this kind of 'lively' happens a few times, the teahouse will not have to open, and it will be accompanied by the lawsuit of killing people all day long. There have been fights in the past, Only two or three people will fight, at most five or six people will be great, and it's not a deep hatred, so it won't be cruel..."

Just as he was talking, two more people came in from the door, both dressed as official servants, and the waiter hurriedly went up to greet him: "Guest officer, please come inside!"

The tall official didn't pay attention to the waiter's hospitality at all, and asked directly: "Xue Zhen, who bought and sold sharks here yesterday, do you recognize him?"

The shop clerk nodded hurriedly: "He is the brother-in-law of the shop owner."

The officer almost nodded, and said stiffly: "Tell the shopkeeper to let them come to the prison to collect the body. He died last night."

Hearing this, the waiter in the shop was shocked: "Dead?"

Mo Long was also slightly startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How did you die?"

The officer squinted at him: "Who are you from? Where are you from?"

Knowing that these officials have always had their eyes on the top of their heads when it comes to Shengdou's common people, they are the ones who step on the low and bow high. If Mo Long wants them to tell the truth, he has to make them feel awe.At that moment, he put his hands on his chest and smiled coldly: "How dare you ask me who I am? I'll just tell you that there is a pair of white jade dragons at the door on the street of Mengyang."

Xuangu Kingdom regards suanni as sacred beasts, and eats fireworks to protect their homes. Mengyang Street is mostly the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles of Xuangu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty ordered me to investigate on my private server, understand?" Mo Long glanced at him.

He didn't know which nobleman he was talking about, and he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so the official hurriedly said: "I understand, I understand, I don't dare to ask again."

"Tell me, how did you die in the prison?" Mo Long said coldly, "Did you break it with the killing power stick?" Fighting, if you have money or something to give to the messenger, you can be lighter, otherwise half your life will be removed, and the worst one will die.

The officer hurriedly explained: "Young Master Mingjian, Xue Zhen has not had time to beat him with the killing stick. He died suddenly last night, and it really has nothing to do with us."

"Sudden death?"

"Yes, the head of the prison went to see him this morning. Xue Zhen was lying on the ground, with a lot of black water pouring out of his seven orifices, and he was already out of breath." The officer lowered his voice slightly, "I heard that this is Donghai's lynching for him, according to Donghai According to the rules, those who hunt and trade mermaids will be punished by black water."

"Lynching in the East China Sea?!"

Mo Long suddenly remembered the thick tail that he saw in midair last night, could it be the tail of a dragon?Is it Qingyue or Lingjun?Or the dragon sent by Qingyue, Nie Ji?

Is the matter of Bai Xi related to this matter?Is it really Donghai who is retaliating?Seeing clearly that Yue acted, he should be a person with clear grievances and grievances. Even if he deliberately used lynching to warn Xuanguo, it would not harm the innocent.

The matter became more and more confusing, Mo Long frowned, thinking all the way, when he raised his head, the two officials had already left at some point, only the waiter stood aside with a sad face.

"Are there any other abnormal things in this teahouse?" Mo Long asked him.

The waiter shook his head, seeing that Mo Long seemed very disappointed, he hurriedly added: "A lot of mice died in the stove last night, so forget it?"

"Rat?"

"Yes, they all died by the side of the water tank, and there were also those in the water tank. Some drowned, and some drank a lot of water to support themselves to death."

Died of drinking water again? !There are even mice!

Mo Long asked the waiter in the shop to lead her to look around the kitchen, thinking to herself, if Qingyue takes revenge, it is naturally impossible to do something to a few mice, and there will be no other people who are bored enough to cast a spell on the mice. It's just that these mice, like Bai Xi, have eaten something by mistake, so they will go crazy and seek death.

It's just that apart from dead rats, there were only teapots and tea fruits in the kitchen, nothing unusual. No matter how careful Ren Molong was, he couldn't find any other clues for a while.
