Just as Zishou was thinking about how to get all the money from the nobles of Zhaoge into his own pocket, Kong Xuan arrived.
Zi Shou looked at the extraordinarily heroic Kong Xuan and ordered with a faint smile,""General Kong, I have summoned you here because of the deaths of the people in the villages near Zhaoge!”
"You must investigate carefully. You must also send people to monitor the noble houses closely, understand?”
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty!"
Kong Xuan also knew that only by finding the source of the people's deaths could Chaoge's fate be resolved!
"Go. Take this jade pendant. If you see the jade pendant, it's like seeing an orphan. If anyone tries to obstruct you during the investigation, you can kill them!”
Zi Shou said coldly.
"Yes!"
Kong Xuan took the Xuan Bird Jade Pendant given by Zi Shou and went to investigate the deaths of the people.
Zishou, on the other hand, continued to ponder how to disperse the power of the nobles in Zhaoge City.
....
It was still in the same house.
The Si Family, the Qin Family, the Cheng Family, and other noble families of Zhaoge were gathered here again.
" Haha! Now that the fishing boat is ready, Chaoge will be back in our hands soon. Master Si, your plan is brilliant!”
"It's just a small trick. It's not worth mentioning. Speaking of which, King Zhou is just seeking his own death!”
The Si Clan Leader shook his head and smiled faintly.
"Five days later, King Zhou can only lower his head!”
"No matter how powerful King Zhou is, he can't compare to Zi Lü!”
"Even if he has both virtue and talent, wasn't the founding king of the Shang Dynasty forced by us nobles to lower his head and go up the rain prayer platform?”
"He, King Zhou, can't compare to Zi Lv!”
The Qin family's head said disdainfully.
"Haha, then we will wait here quietly for King Zhou to lower his head in five days. Haha!”
"Then Chaoge will be back in our hands!”
"This should be an unprecedented achievement and recorded in the annals of history!”
Someone laughed loudly, his words extremely arrogant!
....
Time flew by, and five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these days, the old woman Wuzu had been walking around the villages and towns outside Zhaoge City, looking for a wife for the son of the God of Heaven.
In reality…
It was to find a tool for him to accumulate wealth.
In the past few days, there were more people who died outside Zhaoge City.
Kong Xuan had found some clues after traveling around, but he still needed to investigate.
Tomorrow was the five-day deadline.
Wuzu ran around and finally found a suitable young woman.
Although she was wearing simple patched clothes, it could not hide her curvaceous figure and exquisite face.
If an ordinary family could give birth to such a daughter, it was really a wolf that ran out of the sheep pen!
The old woman Wuzu took a liking to her at first glance.
"It's her. Dress up well. Tomorrow, we'll hold a wedding ceremony for you and the son of the God of Heaven!”
The old woman Wuzu said with a faint smile. Her wrinkled face looked like a malicious ghost when she smiled.
The woman, who looked to be around thirteen or fourteen years old, was so frightened that she cried. She hid behind her father with all her might.
"Lord Wuzu, my daughter…My daughter…She was still young, yet…No, no, no. She's not at the age for marriage leave!"
The simple and honest man held his daughter's hand and stammered. His words were filled with sincerity.
He only had one precious daughter.
If he was taken away today and had no chance to see her in this life, it would be like a heartache!
"Hmph, your daughter is valued by a heavenly deity. This is your honor. Are you going to go against the heavenly deity's will?”
Old woman Wuzu berated her coldly. She then looked at the woman and asked,""What is your name?"
"Li Yan…"
The woman hid behind her father and didn't even dare to look at the old woman Wuzu as she replied timidly.
"Alright, Li Yan. Tomorrow is your wedding day. Follow me and be prepared!”
The old woman Wuzu was secretly delighted.
What a good girl!
She looked so timid that it made one pity her.
If they were sold to the territories of other dukes…
Wouldn't he be earning like crazy?
"No, I'm not. No, no, no. I won't!"
Li Yan said pitifully as he tightly grabbed her father's clothes.
"That's not up to you. Do you want to see more people die?”
The old woman Wuzu had used her power to suppress him!
This was Wuzu's specialty.
He was using his power to suppress others!
Wuzu was good at talking about heavenly deities!
The next moment, the old woman Wuzu ignored Li Yan's father's pleading and brought Li Yan out of the shabby house.
"Father, father…Save me…Save me…"
Li Yan was dragged by the old woman Wuzu. He looked at the honest middle-aged man with a pitiful face, crying heartbreakingly.
