Chapter 363 Linyue Villa
"So many people are needed every year, and they don't even tell me what they're doing. If their families come looking for me in the future, how am I supposed to explain this to them?" Mu Wenye continued.
"I pretended to agree to their request first, hoping to slowly investigate the origins of these people. Secondly, I also wanted to see what was happening in Yuyong and Luofeng. I knew you wouldn't just let it go."
After those people leave, I will send someone to secretly investigate this matter and also have someone contact you.
But the news he received was that Nanyang State had fallen into the hands of Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng, and Sikong Xiao's life and death were unknown.
And there has been no news from you for several months, even the Xie family is missing!
It was only then that I realized that things were far from as simple as I had imagined.
If Guangyuan Continent falls into the hands of Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng, it will definitely be the beginning of Guangyuan Continent's doom. When I am no longer useful, they will kill me."
Xie Jinglan thought about it, took out the man Bai Cang had caught, and stepped on his chest.
"Tell me, what do you want children under ten to do?"
"I said... let him go first..." The man's chest was about to explode from being stepped on by her.
"Hmph! If you don't tell me, I'll twist your head off." Xie Jinglan let the man go.
The man got up and said, "The master wants the children to make puppets..."
"What? Making a puppet!" Xie Jinglan's fists hardened again.
The man thought he was going to be hit, and trembled with fear, "I said, don't hit me..."
"Hurry up and tell me!" Xie Jinglan gritted her teeth.
"The head of the family cast soul-controlling spells on those children, taught them how to practice, and then had them work for the family or look after the mines." The man looked at her cautiously after speaking, "That's all."
"According to what you said, the assassins, servants, and miners used by the Lei and Han families were all people secretly brought over from this Guangyuan Continent." The more Xie Jinglan spoke, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"It's like this..." The man nodded, "Because the people here are weak, they dare not resist."
"Those two families require so many people every year. Do they have so many mines?"
One country needs 5,000 adults, plus other countries, at least tens of thousands of people every year. Do those two families have so many mines to dig?
"We never dared to steal so many people before, only two or three thousand at most. But the physical fitness of the people here is too poor, and more than half of them were killed or injured in less than a year..." The man shuddered again when he said this.
"More than half of them were killed or injured in less than a year? They died from abuse." Beitang Yuan said.
Although he had not been in the mine for long, he saw that the miners were ragged and skinny, and if they walked slowly they would be whipped by the guards.
The physical constitution of the people in Guangyuan Continent is not as good as that of the people in the Middle World. They have been beaten and abused for years, and have not had enough food or clothes. It is considered a blessing to survive for a year.
"What else have you not finished saying?" Xie Jinglan saw the man's eyes flickering, and he must have something else to say.
"Yes... If there are more people than needed, the head of the family will sell some of them to the Baili family. That's all."
The man kowtowed to them and said, "I am from Shangjin City, Xizhou. Because my family is poor, I have no choice but to work for the Han family. As long as you don't kill me, I will do anything for you."
"Then I'll spare your life for now." Xie Jinglan used her mind to take him into the space.
"Hearing him say that, once people fall into the hands of these people, they will be treated like slaves, living a life worse than death, and eventually die within a year or two?" Mu Wenye couldn't believe it.
"Do you know where Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng live?" Xie Jinglan asked.
"I don't know..." Mu Wenye was about to shake his head when he suddenly thought of something?
"I seem to have heard those people mention 'Linyue Villa'. They might have been there."
"Linyue Villa? Where is that place?" Xie Jinglan asked.
"That's a villa of the Zhong family. It's a nice place. Can I take you there?" Mu Wenye picked up a sword and a cloak and was about to take them away.
"The Zhong family? Is it the Zhong family, one of the four major families in your Luofeng country?" When she was in Mincheng, she robbed the spirit stones bought by Zhong Yonghua.
"It's the Zhong family." When Mu Wenye mentioned the Zhong family, his face darkened.
"Could it be that the Zhong family has already been bribed by Wei Rufeng and Beitang Hong?" Xie Jinglan asked.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was possible. Otherwise, why would those two people go there?
"Let's go over and take a look first." Beitang Yuan went out first.
Xie Jinglan walked out of the palace, collected all the talismans, and left with Beitang Yuan.
The palace maids suddenly woke up and saw the emperor standing in front of them. They were so shocked that they all knelt down.
"His Majesty……"
"Okay! I have to leave the palace for a while for something. No one is allowed to follow me, and no one is allowed to make any noise." Mu Wenye warned them and left.
Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan waited outside the imperial city for a long time before they saw Mu Wenye flying over on his sword.
"follow me."
They walked about thirty miles and arrived above a mountain villa.
Xie Jinglan used her magical eyes to look from afar and saw that the villa covered an area of about two miles in radius, nestled against the mountains and beside the water. It was indeed an excellent Feng Shui site.
"They are here indeed." Beitang Yuan said.
His spiritual sense sensed a powerful aura, which was a strength that only people in the Middle World could achieve.
"Set up the formation first. None of them will be able to escape this time." Xie Jinglan sneered.
I ran around for a whole night and searched several places, but it finally wasn't a wasted trip.
Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan transformed into two phantoms, flashing and shuttling over the villa like ghosts.
Soon, an ancient formation was set up, and no one inside could escape.
The three of them flew down to the villa.
"Finally, we found these bastards!" Bai Cang and Xiao Jinzi transformed into human form and left the space.
"Master, how do you want to kill them?"
"It can be burned with fire." Bai Cang said.
"No!" Xie Jinglan looked at Mu Wenye, "Since this villa belongs to the Zhong family, why don't we go visit them first."
And she also wanted to know whether Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng were in there.
At this moment, two figures flashed over.
"Who's here?"
Xie Jinglan used her mind to bring Xiao Jinzi and Bai Cang into the space, as it was not suitable for too many people to be around at this time.
"We are from the Zhong family."
"People from the Zhong family?" The two men approached and looked at them suspiciously.
Xie Jinglan and Beitang Yuan also looked at the two people. Their strength was in the middle stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and they were both from the Middle World.
"It's me." Mu Wenye came out, "I have something urgent to do. I want to see Master Wei."
"So it's you, the useless emperor." The man glanced at him with contempt.
"Then who are they?" another man pointed to the two people behind him.
Beitang Yuan and Xie Jinglan restrained their breath and lowered their heads slightly.
"They are my guards." Mu Wenye said.
The two men didn't notice anything unusual, perhaps they didn't take the people here seriously. They waved their hands and signaled them to follow.
"Come in! You'd better behave yourself."
