“Gu Ying, you’re starting to poach people in front of me.”

Meng Xun turned to the man and said, “Since Gu Ying has spoken, why don’t you have a good spar with him? As long as you can tie with him, I won’t let him go no matter what.”

That person thought that Meng Xun would argue with Gu Ying, but he didn’t expect him to say this.

“I’m not his match.”

“You mean you want to go to his Civil and Military Academy?

Meng Xun frowned as he looked at that person. After thinking for a long time, he still did not know the name of this person. It seemed that he had just come under him before he came.

“No, I don’t want to go.”

“If you don’t want to come, then spar with me. Let me have my fill. I haven’t sparred with anyone in a long time.”

As Gu Ying spoke, he didn’t wait for that person to reply. He directly swung his fist at him and swept his leg at the same time.

That person was no match for Gu Ying. Gu Ying knocked him down, lifted him up, and knocked him down again. When he was not paying attention, Gu Ying took advantage of the momentum and pulled. His pants were torn apart.

The moment the trouser leg was torn, the person’s face revealed a look of panic. At the same time, Gu Ying also saw the scratch marks on his leg.

Without hesitation, he immediately took it down and dislocated his chin to prevent this person from being a poison sac in the teeth of a death warrior.

“The victim’s fingernails are full of skin from the murderer. I want to take this person away for interrogation.”

Gu Ying explained to Meng Xun the reason for his actions.

What else could Meng Xun say? Of course, he allowed Gu Ying and the others to take that person away. Otherwise, would he be able to prove that he was an accomplice?

He was only here to build the princess residence for Princess Ming Yue.

“Lord, please interrogate him strictly. As long as I can help, just say the word.”

Meng Xun cupped his hands at County Magistrate Wu.

“Then I’ll have to trouble Lord Meng.”

“Where is his family?”

“What kind of people are they?”

“Who does he often interact with?”

Gu Ying did not stand on ceremony with Meng Xun at all. He asked a lot of questions in case Meng Xun had accomplices.

How could Meng Xun not know what he meant? He told him everything he knew and even asked everyone here, as well as a few people who were usually close to him.

After asking around, there were no problems. Only this person had a problem. Gu Ying knew that even if there were accomplices here, he would not be able to get anything out of them. He dislocated the man’s arm and threw him to the bailiffs. He told Magistrate Wu that he would go back to the village first.

County Magistrate Wu gestured for the bailiffs to bring the man back to the county office. Not long after he arrived, Gu Ying also arrived.

“Sir, please quickly investigate the case.”

When Gu Ying arrived, he asked County Magistrate Wu to start the trial.

Gu Ying sprinkled some powder on the face of the person whose arm and chin had been dislocated by him, and used a strong wind to blow it into his mouth.

This was the powder he had just gotten when he returned home. MO Ruyue had said that this was the only packet of Truth Potion she had left.

Gu Ying reattached the man’s chin with a snap.

What happened next was simple. The person answered whatever he asked.

As expected, it was the Liu family who had caused trouble again. Moreover, he had come to deal with MO Ruyue, to make them look bad, and even to silence her. Because MO Ruyue’s family had guards and Qi Ji guards, he could not bear to do it, so he had shifted the target to Gu Ying.

Gu Ying regretted not burning the Liu family down.

County Magistrate Wu was so shocked that his mouth was wide open.

After interrogating this person, because he implicated the Empress, County Magistrate Wu did not have the right to convict him directly. This person had to be sent to Shuntian Prefecture under the eyes of the Emperor.

As for Sun Nu’s parents, after that person recruited them, they took the initiative to say that they had been bribed by him and begged for mercy. They could be spared the death penalty, but they could not escape the punishment. They were given dozens of strokes and sent to prison, waiting for their release after serving their sentence.

‘Gu Ying, what kind of powder is this? Why is it so magical?”

County Magistrate Wu was really curious. If he had this powder, would he still have to worry about not being able to catch the criminal?

“I got this by chance. I only have this last bit left, and now I’ve used it up.”

This kind of thing definitely could not be widely circulated in the market. If it fell into the hands of someone with ill intentions, it would be a huge disaster.

“Oh, that’s a pity.”

County Magistrate Wu really felt that it was a pity. Since it was gone, he did not dwell on it.

“Tomorrow morning, I will send someone to escort this person to Shuntian Prefecture.”

“Yes, it just so happens that I have something to do in the capital. Let’s go together tomorrow. I’ll go back first.”

“Alright. ”

The Liu family was like poisonous flies again and again. Gu Ying wanted to go to the capital and decided to use lightning methods to capture the Liu family in one fell swoop.

In addition, he was originally going to make a trip there. His classmates in the capital said that they had accepted many students who wanted to come to school for him.

He had already sent a letter asking him to meet them again. If he really became a mountain chief in the future, he definitely wouldn’t have time to go.

The first thing he did when he got home was to look for MO Ruyue.

“Can you make more of that truth powder?”

The person who killed Sun Nu was sent by the Liu family.

“I’m preparing to make a trip to the capital.”

Even without Gu Ying saying anything, MO Ruyue knew what he wanted the truth powder for.

“Just you wait, I’ll get it right away.”

MO Ruyue was busy in the pharmacy for the entire afternoon, preparing and grinding herbs. Tang Tang and Si Bao accompanied her for the entire afternoon, and they even helped her out from time to time.

“Mother, what is this powder for?”

Tang Tang was very interested in the medicine that MO Ruyue had spent the entire afternoon concocting.

“This thing is very important. It’s our family’s secret that can’t be revealed in front of others. We can’t let anyone know, or else our family will definitely be in trouble.”

The two children nodded seriously, indicating that they remembered.

MO Ruyue kept two packets for herself and two packets for Gu Ying.

The next morning, Gu Ying brought the two packets of medicinal powder and went to the capital again.

When the villagers learned that the murderer who harmed Sun Nu had been found, they cheered.

However, after all, a person had been murdered in the village. Everyone was still a little afraid these few days. Once it was dark, they hurried home.

MO Ruyue was the only one who could study her medicinal cuisine as if nothing had happened.

She was also very persistent about her herbal cuisine shop. She had already opened and closed it twice before. This was the third time. They said that things would not happen more than three times. This time, it would definitely succeed.

The medicinal cuisine shop had to attract big customers who were willing to spend money to make money and become famous.

MO Ruyue took out a map of the area around Reliance Town.

After a closer look, she realized that their village was only a turn away from Lianshan County. If they could get through the mountain, it would only take them half an hour to walk to their village.

If you want to be rich, build a road first!

Since MO Ruyue could not repair the road herself, she had to ask County Magistrate Wu for help.

County Magistrate Wu had always wanted MO Ruyue to build the princess’s manor in Lianshan County. However, MO Ruyue had chosen to build the princess’s manor in West River Village. County Magistrate Wu felt very regretful at that time.

Now, he had to find a way to dig through the mountain. In this way, Lianshan

County would be very close to her. No matter what happened, County

Magistrate Wu would be able to arrive in time. He should be very willing.

It was just that it would be quite difficult to break through this mountain in this era. In the 25th century, explosives could still be used to blow up mountains. In this era, explosives did not exist.

Although she knew how to do it, she did not dare to do it. If she did it, she felt that the world would be in chaos.

It gave some ambitious people hope and threatened her to take it to the border. She had to give it to them even if she did not want to.

However, she did not want to see that kind of situation. How many people would be homeless then?

No, this kind of thing must not appear here.

How much manpower and money would it take to dig it by hand?

This was not worth it, but this road had to be repaired. He had to think of a good way..
