My wife is not a demon

This is a bad sign.

While talking, Chen Mu saw the other party staring at him with a strange look, and subconsciously touched his face: "What's wrong?"

The Suzaku envoy said coldly: "If you rush to pursue the enemy without confirming the strength of the enemy, do you think you are immortal? Have some brains! If... if something happens to you, what about your wife? manage?"

Hearing the woman's nagging complaints, Chen Mu laughed.

Naturally, he could tell that the woman cared about him.

It seemed that the act of saving the opponent just now had some effect.

Chen Mu said in a habitual eloquence: "The lower official is mainly worried about the safety of Lord Suzaku. If something happens to the adult, the lower official will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating. It's a pity that the assassin was not caught."

"Don't be so reckless in the future!"

Seeing that the husband was still thinking about picking up girls at this time, Bai Xianyu was both annoyed and funny, and her empty voice became a little colder.

Chen Mu nodded, and said seriously: "From the perspective of the assassin just now, I'm afraid the envoy Suzaku will be more careful next time. If it's true as you guessed before, the behind-the-scenes messenger may be Lord Du, the prefect. It's better to act first. ..."

Before Chen Mu finished speaking, Bai Xianyu shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, but it's hard to actually act."

These days, Bai Xianyu secretly asked Suzaku Hall to collect a lot of information about Dongzhou City.

The more people know the information, the more frightened they become.

It can be said that the officials from top to bottom of the entire Dongzhou City, as well as the dark forces outside the court, seem to be tied by a rope.

What exactly this rope is is yet to be found out.

But Bai Xianyu knew very well in his heart that if Du Biwu was moved at this time, then Dongzhou City might really fall into chaos.

It is conceivable that even the guards of Zhuquetang were bribed by the other party in just a few days.

At present, we can only investigate the headless case first, and if there are any changes, we will report the situation to the Queen Mother one by one and let the other party make a decision.

But if things really get out of control, they can only be ruthless.

After a while, Lu Tianqiong rushed over.

Seeing the two of them, he put his hand on Chen Mu's shoulder and complained out of breath: "You kid is running too fast, did you use some kind of magic weapon? Madan, I found you after searching for a long time. By the way , where is the assassin?"

"Ran."

Chen Mu briefly explained the situation, and said calmly, "General Lu, take someone to search that forest carefully to see if there are any clues."

"What about you?" Lu Tianqiong asked.

Chen Mu said: "I still plan to go to 'Jixi Village' to investigate the riots in the villagers back then."

"You be careful."

Suzaku spoke softly and concerned.

Chen Mu frowned, and a bright smile rose from the corner of his lips: "I am really touched by Suzaku's concern, and I will be very careful."

Bai Xianyu rolled her eyes and didn't bother to say anything.

Lu Tianqiong was even more speechless.

When will this couple's role-playing end? Every time I feel so embarrassed to say.

-

Jixi Village, formerly known as Xianghe Village.

As early as six years ago, it belonged to a village in Haiqing County, Dongzhou City, with a population of more than [-] people, most of whom were elderly.

Because the land is in a remote place, the conditions are quite difficult.

Young people seldom return after leaving their homes.

All that remained were old women and children, or idlers and vagrants.

Six years ago, because of tax issues, several villagers had disputes with the county government, and almost killed them.

Afterwards, things gradually faded away.

And not long after that, a member of the Tiandihui suddenly visited the village.

Under the persuasion and encouragement of this member of the Tiandihui, more than forty villagers gathered together and attacked the county government with hoes and other weapons.

During the conflict, the county magistrate and his family members were killed by the irrational villagers.

Later, Master Du, the prefect, mobilized the garrison to quell the riot.

Of course, these are all records in the government files.

As for the truth, no one knows, especially when it comes to the headless case, it seems even more confusing.

In the afternoon, according to the address provided by Lu Tianqiong, Chen Mu came to the border of Longyuan.

Moving forward, it should be Jixi Village.

At this time, the sky is gray, and the distant mountains are towering and hazy.

A rugged and winding mountain road winds away.

Looking west across the vast fields, the end of Chen Mu's field of vision is boundless and lofty mountains.

In addition to Jixi Village, there are several small villages around this area.

It is all hidden fog in the mountains.

Chen Mu took a general look at the terrain, and slowly searched along the mountain path.

The fragrant grass beside the road is separated, and the sparse branches and leaves covering the surrounding are dancing in the breeze, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

But after walking for a long time, the village could not be seen alive or dead.

Fortunately, after about half a stick of incense, a village finally appeared in front of my eyes.

Although the village looks dilapidated, the dogs are barking and the chickens and ducks are chattering, making it extremely peaceful in this peaceful world.

In the small farmyards, the cheerful laughter of the children floated.

This is not Jixi Village.

Because Lu Tianqiong specifically said that after the riot ended, other people in the village were also arrested, leaving only a few families.
