Mu Yonglin nodded, then he glanced at the other clan leaders and said in a deep voice: "Are you the same?" He was really surprised now, because he found that Zhao Hai had guessed it correctly again. , precisely because of this, Mu Yonglin was so surprised.

Everyone else also responded, and another clan leader stood up, saluted to Mu Yonglin, and then said: "That's true, sir. You also know that Shangqing Temple is very good at dealing with ghosts. We It was also for the safety of each family that I made friends with them, and also sent some disciples from each family to them, hoping to learn two-hand Taoism from them. However, after so many years, they have not been successful. Those Taoist priests are very familiar with Taoism. Taoism is very important and will not be passed on easily. In order to learn Taoism, we will give them gifts. Sometimes they will ask us to send some maids there, but we found that the maids we sent there were directly We don’t know where they went. We didn’t know they were killed. We thought those Taoist priests also liked women, so they arranged those maids to go elsewhere. After all, it’s not okay to put maids in Taoist temples, and those The Taoist priests had requirements when they asked us to send maids. They all said that they did not want local girls from Heimu County, so we bought those maids from other places. We really didn’t know what they were doing with those maids. I sacrificed myself, please investigate clearly." After saying that, he saluted Mu Yonglin, and the heads of other big families also saluted Mu Yonglin.

Mu Yonglin looked at them and let out a long sigh, and then said: "Okay, I know about this matter, you don't have to worry, I said I won't pursue this matter, so I won't pursue this matter. , but you must ensure that what you are telling is the truth. Many people have seen those bones. It won’t take long for everyone in the entire Blackwood City to know. If someone comes to this county governor and tells them, they If a girl goes missing at home, I will never let you go, do you understand?"

The patriarchs of the big families all responded. They really didn't panic about this matter. Those maids were really bought from other places. In fact, some of the ones sent at the beginning were not bought from other places. , all locals, but after the girls disappeared, the major families also kept a close eye on them. They were also worried that those Taoist priests would do something excessive that would attract Mu Yonglin's attention, so the girls they sent They were all bought from other places. This was not a request made by the people in Shangqingguan, but a decision they made on their own out of fear of something happening. Of course, they wouldn't say that here.

However, the first batch of girls were sent away more than ten years ago, and their families had already been settled with money by them. They also told those families that their children were only sent outside to stay with them. The disciples of the family went to live somewhere else and did not say they were giving them away, so the people in those families did not know that their children were dead. Even for this matter, they deliberately sent some money to those family members regularly. , they just said that the children of their families gave them to them, so the people of those families did not suspect that the ones sent later were really slaves, and they were all from other places. No one would care about this at all. To cause trouble for them.

Mu Yonglin glanced at them, and then said: "Okay, even if this matter is in the past, it would be better for you not to get too close to those Taoist priests in the future. I can tell you clearly now that in the future, Shangqing Temple It will still exist, but a group of Taoist priests will be replaced, and in a few days, the worshipers in my house will also perform a ritual ceremony at Shangqing Temple. You can also go and have a look. After being purified by the priests, Shangqing Temple will There will be no problems there, and there will be no problems with the sacred tree, so you don’t need to worry." Everyone responded.

Mu Yonglin nodded, and then said: "It's been a long time since you and I got together. We must have a good drink today. Come on, let's go to the restaurant." Everyone agreed, The atmosphere was also relaxed. In fact, it was impossible for Mu Yonglin to really deal with these big families. These big families were very powerful when they united. Moreover, if these big families were really dealt with, the damage to Blackwood City would be real. It was too big. It was precisely because of this that Mu Yonglin had no intention of dealing with this big family. Calling them here today was just to give them a beating. After the beating, of course he had to comfort them.

However, Mu Yonglin had already read the things that Zhao Hai gave to Mu Yonglin. There were a lot of things listed on them. He had already asked people to prepare them, but Mu Yonglin really couldn't understand them. Zhao Hai is so powerful, why has he remained unknown before? There must be something weird here, or maybe Zhao Hai didn't tell him the truth.

Although Zhao Hai said that he was from the Thirteen Islands, he didn't really believe it, but anyway, what Zhao Hai is doing now is beneficial to Blackwood City, so he didn't pursue it, but he did However, Zhao Hai became cautious. He felt that he must pay more attention to Zhao Hai in the future to avoid any accidents.

In the next two days, news slowly spread out in Blackwood City. Everyone in Blackwood City knew that a large number of bones were found in Shangqing Temple, but soon news came out that all the bones were It was the Taoist priests from Shangqingguan who sacrificed blood to the sacred tree for him and bought slaves from other places. Now that the sacred tree is contaminated, the county governor is preparing to ask the priests in the mansion to purify the sacred tree.

Of course, this news was released jointly by Mu Yonglin and those big families. They knew very well that ordinary people might be more willing to believe some rumors than to believe some official explanations, so they simply made this true. The situation was released in this way, and the official explanation was that the Taoist priests in Shangqing Temple were raising little ghosts, but they were discovered by the county governor and were dealt with. At the same time, because the people in Shangqing Temple were raising little ghosts, the gods The tree was contaminated and needed to be purified, so in a few days the Sheriff's Mansion was preparing to perform a ritual ceremony.

Mu Yonglin is releasing fake news as official news, and then releasing real news as untrue news. Not to mention, the effect of this is surprisingly good, and the people in the city will not care about Shangqingguanli. How many slaves have died? What they are concerned about is the contamination of the sacred tree. For the people in the city, it is fine as long as the people who die are not people in the city.

Zhao Hai lives in a simple way these days and rarely goes out. He just gives guidance to the children in the courtyard. Qian Yun comes often, and Zhao Hai also gives him guidance. During this period, Master Wu also came here a few times. This time, I came to see Wu Ding and found that Wu Ding was very energetic now, and Mr. Wu was also very happy.

Qian Yun also told Zhao Hai that their family was preparing to buy horses, but they had not found a suitable one yet. Although Zhao Hai had a few horses, they were not suitable for Qian Feng because all of them were The Lord Sheriff gave it to Zhao Hai. It would be inappropriate for Zhao Hai to give it away.

However, Qian Yun also told Zhao Hai one thing, that is, some big families in the city have tried to contact their family these days. Judging from the intentions of those big families, it is obvious that they are here for Zhao Hai, so the Qian family has not contacted them. He went too deep because he was worried that it would cause trouble for Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai just nodded after hearing what Qian Yun said. He also asked Qian Yunshao to contact those big families. Although those big families had a very high status in the city, they were also very important to Mu Yonglin. If you don't want to offend Mu Yonglin, you should have less contact with the people you pay attention to. This is Zhao Hai's experience.

After listening to Zhao Hai's words, Qian Yun nodded without saying anything. In fact, Qian Yun told Zhao Hai about this matter because he wanted to hear what Zhao Hai meant. If Zhao Hai agreed with them and those If Zhao Hai does not agree with their contact with those big families, then of course they will know what to do.

Zhao Hai also asked Mr. Wu and the others to help pay attention to see if there is a suitable mount. If so, tell him directly that he is really planning to get a mount for Qian Feng. Qian Feng's skills have actually been finalized. , it is not easy for him to change, so Zhao Haicai thought of improving Qian Feng's strength.

Zhao Hai helps the Qian family in this way in order to cultivate his own power. Qian Feng is one of the very important threads. Regardless of whether he will leave Blackwood City in the future, He San and those children are all in need of help. Take care of them, and the Qian family is actually very suitable to take care of them.

Those helpers have never come to Zhao Hai these days. After all, they are not bullied every day. If that was really the case, they would have stopped working in this industry a long time ago. How long does it take for such a thing to happen? We will meet him once, so no one has come to Zhao Hai these days, so Zhao Hai is naturally happy to be at ease.

Five days passed like this. After having breakfast that day, Zhao Hai was instructing the children to practice. A steward from the county governor's house suddenly came to Zhao Hai and said that the county governor had invited him. Zhao Hai immediately followed that person. When the steward arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion, he went directly to the big study room to see Mu Yonglin.

Mu Yonglin was waiting for Zhao Hai in the big study room. As soon as he heard that Zhao Hai was coming, he immediately invited Zhao Hai into the room. After Zhao Hai entered the room, he greeted Mu Yonglin and Mu Yonglin asked Zhao Hai to sit down and wait for Zhao Hai. After sitting down, Mu Yonglin said to Zhao Hai: "Sir, I have already prepared everything you said before. The altar has been built and all the necessary things are ready. I will definitely do it, sir." Go check it out.”

When Zhao Hai heard what he said, he immediately responded, and Mu Yonglin then continued: "I wonder when sir is going to open the altar? When the altar is opened, may others be allowed to watch?" Mu Yonglin mainly said For this matter, he really wanted to take a look, and he was also planning to let all the big families in the city take a look, firstly to let them know his strength, and secondly to reassure them. , after all, such a big thing happened in Shangqingguan, and the people of the big families were still a little frightened, so they had to be reassured.
