Chapter 1681
Ling Yu used the medicinal materials given by Eunuch Mo to practice several precious elixirs. She did not swallow them all. Seeing that Eunuch Mo was injured while looking for medicinal materials for herself, she gave Eunuch Mo two pills to help him recover his skills.
Aunt Wu and Ling Yu also gave her two pills. This time, Aunt Wu saved her vitality from serious injuries, and Ling Yu was very grateful.
Although Ling Yu didn't have much left of the elixir she had worked so hard to refine this time, fortunately, Eunuch Mo brought her not only the medicinal materials, but also a few medicinal seedlings.
Ling Yu planted them in the space and waited for them to grow to a large size to get more medicinal materials.
But just a few days after Zhao Ruirui and Concubine Shao stayed safe, something strange happened in the villages near the imperial capital.
First, a middle-aged man disappeared for no apparent reason, and then several pregnant women disappeared.
This caused people in these villages to panic. Some people said that mountain monsters eat people, while others said that there were wild wolves in the nearby mountains.
Chen Buwei was responsible for the security of the imperial capital. The magistrates and Li Zheng of nearby counties reported the missing persons to Chen Buwei.
At first, there were only one or two people, so Chen Buwei asked the government officials to check according to normal procedures.
But people are reporting it every day, and the number of missing people is getting bigger and bigger. In just three days, ten people were reported missing.
First domain name
Chen Buwei did not dare to take it lightly anymore. In addition to increasing manpower to investigate, he also wrote a memorial and reported it to Ling Yu.
Ling Yu immediately paid attention. It had never happened in Western Qin that so many people were missing in a row.
The folk customs in ancient times were simple and simple, and there was no such thing as serial murder. The disappearance of so many people must have been an organized and conspiratorial act.
Ling Yu immediately summoned Pei Yu, Qin Shan, and King Ye to cooperate with Chen Buwei to investigate the matter. Focusing on these villages, he sent troops to search along the way.
Not only that, Ling Yu also asked Chen Buwei to offer a large reward for villagers and insiders to provide clues.
Ling Yu, Pei Yu and others studied the case and found that these people disappeared at night, so they asked several villages to send additional patrols at night.
But these villages were heavily guarded and no one was missing. Several other villages suffered another disaster, with men and pregnant women missing again.
Such irregular incidents of people disappearing everywhere made Ling Yu's head spin. Who could do this?
These missing people are neither alive nor dead, and no one can provide any useful clues. How to catch these people!
When Aunt Wu was teaching Ling Yu how to practice, she saw that Ling Yu was restless and looked like she was not in the right state, so she scolded her with a stern face.
"Didn't you say you have to work hard? The enemy is almost in front of you, and you still don't work hard? If you want to wait for death, just say so and don't waste my time!"
Ling Yu quickly apologized and couldn't help but tell the reason for her troubles.
Aunt Wu listened absentmindedly at first, but when she heard Ling Yu say that the missing people were all middle-aged men and pregnant women, Aunt Wu's expression changed.
"Wait, stop talking...I know who did it!"
"who is it?"
Ling Yu was immediately overjoyed. She stared at Aunt Wu and asked, "Say it quickly and I'll have someone catch them!"
"Your enemy Zhao Ruirui!"
Aunt Wu sneered: "She was seriously injured last time she fought with you! There are some crooked cultivation methods in the Demon Realm. Using strong men and pregnant women as medicine introductions, you can recover at an extremely fast speed!"
"Not only that, it can even improve your cultivation!"
"What?"
Ling Yu was stunned. Is there such an inhumane cultivation method in this world?
"Orthodox practitioners will never use this kind of cultivation method!"
Aunt Wu said disdainfully: "Zhao Ruirui must have been frightened by you and me last time, and that's why she came up with such an idea! You must stop her quickly, otherwise she will kill more people!"
