After Lin Chujiu found the suspicious footprints, she immediately asked people to bring blank papers and trace down the footprints. After a brief explanation, she asked Meng Dafuren to look for people who have the same size of footprints.
"The other party is six feet tall and has an overweight body. First Aunt, you can start from here."
Lin Chujiu said a lot, but Meng Dafuren understood only a few words. Fortunately, these few words were the keys words.
With Lin Chujiu's inference, it's no longer difficult to find people. But after half an hour, the housekeeper came to report and found the two suspicious fat people, it's just… …
The other party was dead!
"Why didn't you closely watch people!" It wasn't Lin Chujiu who was angry and yelled, but the master of the Meng family.
Meng Shi almost became mad!
He knew that his mother's death was suspicious. Otherwise, why would he want to go and report this matter to the officials by daybreak?
Now, Lin Chujiu found evidence, but the other party was also dead. How will he check this matter?
Meng Shi was so angry that his whole body trembled. The people around him got worried and tried to comfort him one by one.
Lin Chujiu sighed and looked up at the roof. She took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart, then said: "Uncle, the most important thing to do right now is not to get angry, but to check who is the person behind those two fat maidservants." People were now dead, they cannot ask them about this matter, the most important thing right now is to follow these traces.
"What Chujiu said is not wrong, hurry, check things about those people." Meng Shi, who regained a backbone, ordered his people immediately.
"I will go, I'll look into it." Meng Second Master said with a serious face and took the initiative.
"Work hard brother."
"Second brother, please."
Meng Shi and Meng Third Master spoke in unison. They were not good at dealing with these things. It was good that someone took the initiative.
After they made an arrangement, Meng Shi finally has calmed down: "Alright, let's put down this matter temporarily. We should discuss mother's funeral."
"Let's consult Hua Mama, Hua Mama is the most trusted maidservant of mother. She must know what mother wants." After Meng Shi said those words, the others immediately agreed, but they haven't look for her when someone came to report: "Not good, not good. Master, Hua Mama is dead."
Hua Mama was Meng Laofuren's old maidservant.
"What?" Lin Chujiu was the person who reacted first.
Upon hearing those words, Lin Chujiu's whole body got stiff in the chair.
Is it because of her?
Did she commit suicide so that people in the Meng Family will not know that the old lady died because of her?
Lin Chujiu took a deep breath. She doesn't know if it's because she blamed herself or out of guilt, but she was feeling very uncomfortable.
Her reasoning tells that the Old Mama killed herself because she was reluctant to be part with Meng Laofuren and so she followed after her. However, her heart doesn't think the same.
Only dead people can keep secret forever. She doesn't want other people to know that Meng Laofuren's death was related to her.
If people will know that Meng Laofuren died because of her, then she and her family will have a lifetime enmity. The Meng Family will hate her. The Lin Family will take this chance to stand up in the highest moral and accuse her.
"I'm sorry, it's all because of me." Lin Chujiu closed her eyes and lowered her head… …
Tonight, two people died for her!
She felt so tired carrying two lives upon her shoulders!
Outside the capital, in the hidden mountains
The sea of blood, the sea of fire, and the screaming of people give off a clear picture of tragic and bloody killing.
Tonight, the hidden mountain villa of south turned into a hellish arena. Demon Lord, who has a bloody red coat, kept harvesting life one after another.
Nannuo Li thought that the person, who's hunting him was either Xiao Tianyao or the emperor of the East. He never thought it would be Demon Lord.
"Demon Lord, I have no enmity with you, why are you targeting me?" Nannuo Li couldn't remember where or how he offended him.
"Noblemen forgot a lot of things, his royal highness forgotten easily how he offended this lord?" Demon Lord's sword was still on his hand, he hasn't done anything yet. He just stood and watched how the people of the east killed the southern one by one.
If these southern people were cleared, the southern influence in the east will be nothing. Without them, he can focus his mind on the front line battle.
"Impossible, this prince has never dealt with people in the rivers and lakes, how can I offend you?" Nannu Li really couldn't remember.
His goal is the east imperial family. Although the devil's palace was quite famous in the river and lakes, it cannot enter his eyes.
"This lord says that you have offended him, so you have offended him." Demon Lord's tone remained unchanged. His words were filled with arrogance. Nannuo Li's face drastically changed, but… …
His current situation doesn't allow him to get mad!
Nannuo Li gritted his teeth and said: "Demon Lord, I have no interest in dealing with your Devil's Palace. If I offended you before, I will apologize to you in person after this event. How about that?"
"No need." Demon Lord flatly refused.
Today, no matter what Nannuo Li said, it was useless. He clearly thinks he was blameless.
If Nannuo Li doesn't understand what he did up until now, then he doesn't deserve the importance of the Southern Emperor.
"Good, good, good. Demon Lord, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You better pray that I will die here today, otherwise I will definitely stomp at your devil's palace on the ground." This time, Nannuo Li's patience was exhausted. He really hated Demon Lord's arrogance.
"This lord will be waiting!" Demon Lord didn't put Nannuo Li's threat in his eyes at all. He said to his men: "Move faster."
"Yes." When Demon Lord's people heard his order, their swords fighting accelerated in speed. They madly slashed the southern people one by one in the front.
Nannuo Li was under the protection of his people. Demon Lord's people rushed all the way and encircled Nannuo Li's men. Seeing Demon Lord's people killing his men as if they were only killing chickens. Nannuo Li finally refused to save his strength. He pulled out his sword and join the battle.
Nannuo Li took a shot. His sword's skill was also good. After looking at Demon Lord, he made a gesture to his men, and then … …
The perfect encirclement was broken by Nannuo Li. Under the protection of his confidant, Nannuo Li successfully break the encirclement. However, he was not happy about this, because… …
He met the biggest opponent tonight – Demon Lord!
As soon as Nannuo Li rushed out, Demon Lord took a step forward and blocked his way.
"Demon Lord, why do you keep targeting this prince?" Nannuo Li raised his sword and pointed it at Demon Lord. His face was filled with anger.
When on earth did he provoked this madman?
"As this lord said, noblemen forgot a lot of things, it was only a trifle matter, so his highness forgotten about it." As for how Nannuo Li offended him, he will not say it… …
However, this thing so-called 'offended him', was enough for Demon Lord to kill Nannuo Li.
