Chapter 971: But we have no evidence
Yichen's eyes widened suddenly, and he said with some eagerness, "It's the city lord! It must be the lord of the city!"
Liu Shengsheng frowned, "Why do you say that?"
Yichen propped up his body, slowly sat down at the head of the bed, and then told everything that happened not long ago.
Including the words he and Xiao Yi overheard on the roof, they were all conveyed to Liu Shengsheng word for word.
After listening to his words, Liu Shengsheng's face became even more solemn, "In other words, that city lord probably guessed what you overheard, so he bribed the killer to hunt you down?"
"It must be so! Besides, I offended them last night, and they learned my identity, except for them, no one else will come to hunt me down, after all, in the middle of the night, I can't think of anyone else besides them......
"Not to mention whether the people who are chasing you are or not, even if they are not, they are plotting behind my back to damage my reputation, and it is worth my own visit."
Liu Shengsheng narrowed his eyes and said word by word, "And if the person who hurt you is really him, even if it is the city lord, I will make him pay!"
Yichen said solemnly, "But we have no evidence, we have no way to deal with them......
"Is there any evidence that they tried to slander me as a witch?"
Yichen shook his head.
Liu Shengsheng said softly: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about the rest, you just need to have a good rest, and when I'm done, let's continue on our way."
Yichen naturally believed in Liu Shengsheng's strength, so he nodded obediently, "Okay."
Then Liu Shengsheng walked out.
After going out, she took the initiative to take Nan Mu Ze's hand, "Aze, we may have to spend an extra day or two here."
Nan Muze smiled slightly, "By your side, no matter where you are, it doesn't matter."
"You're getting better at talking now."
Saying this, Liu Shengsheng had already walked down the hill and walked in the direction of the shore.
It was already dawn, and the villagers had already woken up.
As soon as they saw Liu Shengsheng, many people immediately knelt on the ground and shouted immortals.
Although most people called her princess, Liu Shengsheng deliberately helped up those who called her fairy.
"Thank you, Fairy Princess! The princess is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she is willing to send so many people to rebuild our homes for us, she is really a living immortal!"
Liu Shengsheng smiled gently at the villager, "I'm not a god, I just know a little about the precursors of the flood."
As soon as these words came out, the villagers wanted to bow down again.
"Being able to know the precursors of a flash flood is not the work of the gods?"
"Yes, Her Royal Highness the princess is the reincarnation of the gods, right?"
"Does the princess know the signs of other calamities?"
"Is it the result of someone angering the heavens this time?"
"Many people in the city say that this is the punishment of the heavens, but we think about it, where can we, the common people, anger the gods?"
「……」
Listening to the villagers' words, Liu Shengsheng sighed and pretended to stop talking.
The villagers seemed to sense something and asked her, "Why is Her Highness sighing?"
"After this flood, there shouldn't be another flood, right?"
"Your Highness the Princess, do you know if we can rebuild our homes on the original site?"
"What are you talking about? Our ancestors have lived on this land for generations, so how can we move out of here because of a flood?"
「……」
Liu Shengsheng didn't pay attention to those people, just sighed again, and then turned around and left there.
She can mess with the hearts of the villagers like this.
I always feel like she has something to say, but she doesn't dare to say it......
After a while, the voice of an eldest lady suddenly came from the crowd.
"Have you heard?
Last night, Her Royal Highness's cronies were assassinated."
As soon as these words came out, many villagers surrounded them.
"It seems that there is such a thing, her cronies are going to save Na Yong, right?"
The eldest lady nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, the person was not saved, both of them died halfway, and her cronies were also seriously injured, I heard that they were injured by the people of the City Lord's Mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
All the villagers looked at the lady.
"What's going on? Tell me about it?"
"So Ah Yong was really captured by the people of the City Lord's Mansion?"
The eldest lady put her hands on her waist and whispered, "Yes, not only Ah Yong, but also the leaders of other villages, all of them were arrested by the city lord, and I heard that some of those people were beaten to death by the city lord, and the corpses of the five horses were divided, and the death was particularly miserable!"
The villagers were so shocked that they all covered their mouths in horror.
The eldest lady chattered again, "Not only that, but I heard that the city lord is also planning to go outside to spread rumors, saying that this flood is due to the return of the real princess and was blocked by heaven, and they plan to make Her Royal Highness the princess into a demon girl, so as to achieve the goal of forcing the real princess away!"
"Those three people were sent by the city lord just now, their purpose was to kill Ah Yong's entire family, and they also wanted to kill all the people who knew about it, but they were stopped by Her Royal Highness the princess and soaked in the water, fortunately, there is Her Royal Highness the princess, otherwise dozens of people in our village will have to die in the hands of those killers."
As soon as the eldest mother's words fell, the villagers instantly chattered and discussed.
"I'll just say, three killers suddenly appeared, all of them fierce and vicious, and they were soaked in the flood by Her Royal Highness the Princess, it turned out that this is the reason ......."
"Isn't it terrible that they want to kill our entire village?"
"It's a good thing that Her Royal Highness the princess's people stopped them, otherwise we would be in danger!"
"That city lord is too terrible, it's not enough to capture so many men, but also to arrest our entire village."
"No, but the princesses will have to leave sooner or later, what will we do when the city lord wants to destroy our mouth again?"
"There are only dozens of families in our village, and if the city lord really sends a killer to suppress it, in the end, no one can escape."
"Ah Yong and Xiao Yi are already dead in the middle of the road, can't it be us below?"
"No wonder Her Royal Highness the princess had that expression just now, she must have felt powerless, right?"
「……」
Everyone spoke indignantly, and each one used his imagination to guess the castle lord's motives.
The lady said solemnly:
"Let me tell you, this flood must be a vision from heaven, maybe the city lord has done too many things that have lost the conscience of heaven and angered the heavens, so he will launch the flood!"
"You said that if Her Royal Highness the princess is really a demon girl, then in the years she was in the Fengqing Country, why was the Fengqing Country so smooth? If she can bring disaster to the country, it will be a flood all over the country, not here......
"This is the territory of the city lord, and it must be the heavens punishing the old city lord of the city, so it is because we innocent people are implicated......
"Her Royal Highness the poor princess tried her best to help us rebuild our home, but the city lord actually wanted to destroy several of our villages under her nose, just to slander the princess as a demon girl, which is too unconscionable!"
「……」
