"Just who is it, to have such a vicious heart!" Xuanyuan Mo's heart trembled slightly. The commoners were all unarmed and unarmed, pulling the commoners as a scapegoat. Aren't they afraid of being punished by the heavens?

Also, if this matter was really as Li Li's analysis suggested, then it would cause an unpredictable calamity. Luckily, it was stopped in time, but Xuanyuan Mo knew that if this matter was not resolved quickly, something big would definitely happen.

"Maybe it's someone from another country, or maybe it's someone who colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country!"

Xuanyuan Mo did not speak because Li Ruo's words had already reached his heart and he was now very touched.

Li Ruo said, "We are Xuanyuan, this means that she has already treated Xuanyuan as her home." She might have done so out of habit from her early years, or perhaps she truly wanted to do so, but seeing her so wholeheartedly consider Xuanyuan's safety together with him, worried for the people of this world, he felt incomparably happy.

Was there anyone here who could hold her back?

Was there something here that could make her feel at ease?

Then, did this even include Xuanyuan Mo?

Ruo Ruo was originally deep in thought, but she was pulled back by Xuanyuan Mo's fiery gaze.

"Ruo Ruo, what you said before still counts!"

"What is it?" Without turning his head, Ruoruo continued to lower her head and carefully read the file.

"…" Xuanyuan Mo was truly embarrassed. He couldn't possibly remind Liru that they would get married once they came out from the cliff, right? Moreover, with such a tense atmosphere, it didn't seem like it was a good idea to say something like that.

Helpless, Xuanyuan Mo lowered his head. Forget it.

Without hearing Xuanyuan Mo's reply, Liru did not ponder too much on it. He only furrowed his brows, not understanding what he had said to make Xuanyuan Mo so distressed.

"Xuanyuan Mo, if I ever said anything before, no matter what it is, it would all count in the end!" She only felt that as a person, one should have integrity, even if she could not recall what she had promised Xuanyuan Mo right now.

"…" Xuanyuan Mo raised his head, his eyes shining brightly. He really wanted to ask if what he had said was true, but after thinking for a long time, he swallowed it back down.

Li Ruo would always do what she said, but she was anxious, so if she asked, it would be counterproductive. He had no choice but to refuse her, so after struggling for a while, he decided to skip the topic.

"I'll watch it for you!" He picked up the file on the side and started reading it carefully.

"Can you?" He remembered that the first time he had made a bet with Xuanyuan Mo, he had been reading a file. He had only analyzed the problem slowly, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't understand it.

As expected, when Liru tilted her head to take a look, the problems outlined by Xuanyuan Mo were even more detailed than her own. However, his movements were a little slower, and after that, he felt completely relieved and turned around to look at the pile in front of him.

In the evening, Cheng Ziheng came back with a large stack of old looking documents. After that, the few of them sat around a round table and started reading.

The more he read, the angrier he got. Li Ruo didn't hold back, she slammed the file down on the table.

"Bastard!"

"Madam, be careful not to get angry!" Ruo Su stood up and quickly consoled her. Everyone else remained silent. They saw that the problem might not be as profound as Ruo Ruo's, but they still found a lot of problems with the documents.

"I didn't expect the former Prefect to be even more outrageous!" Xuanyuan Mo opened his mouth. This was a new word that he had learned from Liruo earlier, he discovered that it was suitable to use here.

"It's far more than top quality!" Ruo Ruo was angry. Although her anger had lessened a bit after that fall, she couldn't help but want to beat him up when her eyes returned to these densely packed cases.

"Is there any news from the former Prefect?"

"He's already dead. A dozen years ago, just a few days after the inauguration of the current Prefect, there was a major fire in his house. Not a single family was left out!"

"Fire?" Liru laughed coldly, "I let him get away with it, but I don't think that fire was an accident."

"Your subordinate thinks so too!" Cheng Ziheng nodded his head. On the surface, these things did not seem to be related, but he felt that there were many mysteries regarding the time and place when they happened.

I believe that everyone has already seen it. According to these files, we can tell that the former Prefect was not a good person, and that there was something wrong with every one of these major cases. After careful analysis, I believe that most of these people were good people, and the reason for their imprisonment was very simple.

"The reason why the former Prefect captured so many good people and punished them to death, and perhaps a method used by the mastermind behind all of this, is still unknown."

"But perhaps because the previous Prefect suddenly disobeyed or wanted to get rid of this kind of trouble, he was punished." As for the current Prefect, he is only continuing the unfinished business of the former Prefect. One is to send the good people to jail, to let them spend a period of dark and endless days in prison, and then to find someone to replace them and let them see the light of day again. This may be a method.

"In that case, these criminals should have already gone to other countries in the past few years. Perhaps they will undergo very strict training, and after that …"

"What happens next?" In the end, Ruo Su was a young miss, so she couldn't figure out the crux of the matter.

"You can think about it. If a good person who has been wronged in his own country was saved by the enemy in times of danger, what would you do in the future?" Xuanyuan Mo had already understood the power of this, so he used the simplest and most concise words to directly analyze it for Ruo Su.

"If it was me, I would definitely hate my country. After that …" Speaking to this point, her eyes widened. Could the people behind this be planning to use Xuanyuan's people to deal with Xuanyuan's master, make them enemies of their country, make their country's people cold, and make them live a life worse than death?

"Also, don't forget how the current Prefect replaced them!"

"…" With this reminder, everyone came to a realization. Good people were still the people of Xuanyuan, the people who were called good people.

"Hurry up and check on the Prefect!" Liruo raised her head abruptly, suddenly recalling the prefect's performance. He had just received a report from the jailer saying that he had decided to tell the truth. At that time, he still had things to deal with, so he had put them aside until now.

"Are you worried?" "Xuanyuan Mo quickly understood Li Ruo's intention. Are you worried that they will kill you and silence you? "

"That's right!"

"Your subordinate will go right now!" Cheng Ziheng was shocked. He quickly walked outside, and then jogged.

But it was still too late.

By the time Cheng Ziheng arrived, the Prefect was already dead. His face was calm, as if he had not suffered much before he died.

He was sitting in his cell, his legs still crossed, the chopsticks still in his hands, and apparently he had died suddenly and without much shock.

"What's going on?" Xuanyuan Mo asked in a low voice.

"The cell has been thoroughly searched. No suspicious figures have been seen since yesterday. Other than the servant who brought the food and sent the message, no one else has come near this place." This was too unexpected, one moment a lively person, the next, he was already a corpse. Life is so fragile.

"According to the prison guards, he was in a lot of pain at first, as if he was making a very difficult decision, but after that, he slowly calmed down. This morning, he finally thought things through, saying that he was willing to tell the madame everything, and after that, his whole body felt a lot more relaxed. He also said that he wanted to eat, so he sent people to prepare some food …"

"Where are the guards?" Xuanyuan Mo asked in a low voice. There were so many guards, but they had actually caused someone to die in unknown circumstances. How depressing.

"There are 20 guards there, there and there. There are close to 100 people guarding outside and it is difficult for most people to get close to this place. The guards that were on duty yesterday have all been checked out. No problem."

Cheng Ziheng continued with his previous plan, and looked at the points that he had pointed out, there was indeed nothing wrong, and if they were to be placed in these positions, it could be said that there were no blind spots, and if someone wanted to sneak in, it would be extremely difficult, because as long as one of the twenty people had any problems, the others would be able to see it.

After looking around the cell, Ruo Ruo's gaze finally settled on a ten centimeter ventilation slot behind the cell's door.

"What is that!" Apparently, Xuanyuan Mo had also noticed Zhang Xuan's actions and he immediately started questioning him.

That's a ventilation hole, less than half a foot. If my guess is correct, the reason why the wall behind is at least five meters thick is because I'm worried that the prisoners will use these things to escape. Furthermore, that ventilation hole is only the size of your fist.

If you explain directly.

"Madam is right!" Cheng Ziheng nodded his head, [Li Ruo's words are true. Therefore, it is impossible for outsiders to do anything from here.]

"Since we can't enter through the main entrance, and we can't use these air vents to get in and out, could it be that this person came from the sky?" Ruo Su frowned as she walked around the cell. She stretched out a finger and twirled it around.

It was originally a heavy atmosphere, but due to her mischievous words, it became somewhat relaxed. Li Ruo smiled. Wasn't this person a year older than her? Why was he so cute?

Oh, no, it's a year older than this body...
