Battle Tower ran outside and saw a young man driving a horse carriage. He recognized him as one of the youths from before in the field.

"Hello, I have urgent matters to attend to, may I borrow your carriage for a moment? I'll go to town. " Zhan Xiao stopped the carriage and spoke to the pink-clothed youth on top of it.

The youth also recognized her at first glance. Seeing her nervous face and rapid breathing, he knew that something big must have happened.

If it was anyone else, he definitely wouldn't have casually lent it to her. However, he had no way of resisting this pretty and elegant woman, and judging from the clothes she wore, she should be a rich person. He immediately jumped off the carriage without thinking and gave the reins to Zhan Chen.

Zhan Xiaolou didn't expect this youth to be so generous. He had originally wanted to convince him!

Lou Lan took the reins and jumped onto the carriage. Before he left, he asked the pink-clothed youth.

"What's your name? I'll return it to you later."

The pink-clothed youth smiled. His eyes moved around, giving off an indescribably youthful beauty. However, Zhan Xiaolou was completely oblivious to this.

"My name is Qing Ling, I still haven't asked you for your name …" Before Qing Ling could finish her words, Zhan Xiaolou had already driven away the carriage in front of him.

Only Zhan Xiaolou's voice remained in the wind. "Thank you, Young Noble Qing Ling. I will definitely return the carriage intact …"

She took the carriage all the way to the town and asked around for the location of the yamen. Fortunately, the yamen people did not dawdle and the yamen's commander, Liu Cuihua, immediately reported the situation to the county magistrate upon hearing the battle report. She then brought a coroner and several soldiers to the mountain gate village.

Ning Yu was still maintaining the same posture as when Zhan Xiaoluo had left her room. She was half-kneeling on the ground, her face pale and her eyes lifeless.

When the villagers saw the soldiers, they all came out to watch the commotion. They surrounded the door of Ning Yu's home. Two female soldiers coldly stood at the door, sticking their heads out, not daring to come in.

After the coroner had finished examining the corpses, the soldiers began to question the villagers. However, the entire village had come asking questions. No one had seen any suspicious people come to the village. The only suspicious person was Zhan Lou, who had suddenly appeared in the village in the last two days.

When Ning Yu heard the bailiff asking about the location of the battle, her eyes finally focused. With much difficulty, she managed to support herself to stand up and stumble her way over to the bailiff, babbling to him with an anxious expression.

The villagers blocking the entrance all looked at Ning Yu in surprise. How did he become a mute? At the same time, he heard endless words about jinx, kaiju, and the like.

The bailiff Liu Cuihua looked at Ning Yu for a while, then impatiently waved her hand, "What do you want to say? Are you dumb? "Do you know how to write? Write it down."

Zhan Xiaoluo pulled him behind her, then said to the bailiff, "He doesn't know how to write. He's the son of the deceased, and due to the heavy blow, he can't speak for the time being. Before Mother Ning was killed, we went to the mountain to prepare medicinal herbs. They are in the basket on the other side."

As she said that, she pointed to the two baskets that were quietly lying in the yard. Immediately, a bailiff went over to take a look, and then reported it to Liu Cuihua.

Liu Cuihua was a middle-aged woman. She was thin, lean, and had a black face. Her pair of black and white eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, giving off a feeling of power without anger.
