"With the capital as the center of the circle, there are many places that can be reached in one day at a high speed. But if it is a place that is rich in Scotch pine and has a river connected to the suburbs of Beijing, then there is only one place."
"That's Xun County." Chongzhou said solemnly to Mo Jiecheng with a serious face.
As soon as he heard this, Mo Jiecheng felt that it sounded familiar. He frowned slightly, but saw Chongzhou explaining again.
"Xun County is a small county on the west side of Jizhou. The area used to be well-known for its abundance of Pinus sylvestris. But one more thing is that there is a village in the area. I don't know when, but the young people there have always suffered from serious diseases. Or if you die an unexpected death, you will never live long.”
"There are local rumors that cutting down the Scotch pine offended the tree god and caused a curse in the area, so all the young and middle-aged laborers died. That village was also called the Dead Man's Village."
"It is for this reason that the business of Pinus sylvestris in Xun County plummeted, and local people did not dare to cut down Pinus sylvestris due to the curse. As a result, the once prosperous small county suddenly became unknown."
"Not only are there fewer people coming to Xun County, but even the legendary Dead Man's Village is rarely passed by. Our current Scotch pine trees come from further north, making them more expensive. stand up."
When Chongzhou said this, Mo Jiecheng completely understood.
There is indeed a problem in Xun County. I am afraid that the problem lies in the Dead Man Village and the so-called "Curse of the Tree God".
It was nonsense to talk about strange powers and gods. Mo Jiecheng's face became serious and he immediately told the news to Ji Wanrong and Shi Heng who were also in Dali Temple and had not yet returned.
After hearing the news, Ji Wanrong and Shi Heng also felt that Xun County was very suspicious.
It was close to the capital, and there were a lot of trees and mountainous areas suitable for hiding. Even the number of people passing by gradually became less and less.
This is a place where you can hide a large number of people and horses, and even smelt weapons and train soldiers.
The faces of Ji Wanrong and Shi Heng also became serious.
Mo Jiecheng looked at Ji Wanrong's expression gradually changing and asked again: "What do you think we should do now?"
"We should go to the local area and obtain evidence." Ji Wanrong did not hesitate at all, and his words were almost decisive.
"No matter what you want to do, I will listen to you." Mo Jiecheng did not hesitate.
Shi Heng was silent for a moment, then slowly took two steps back, bent slightly towards Mo Jiecheng and Ji Wanrong, and said.
"This matter has a lot to do with the previous dynasty, and can even affect the foundation of Beili. If it is verified to be true, no matter who is behind it, it will be clear that someone is forming a party for personal gain, recruiting troops, and posing a threat to Beili."
"If His Highness King Han and Qinghui County want to leave the capital to investigate this matter, they must report this matter to His Majesty."
"In other words, no matter what your two highnesses choose, I will report this matter to your majesty tomorrow."
Shi Heng's words and deeds are all in accordance with Beili's rules and regulations. He will not be partial to the Queen and Mo Junfeng, and naturally he will not be partial to them.
It was reasonable for him to report this matter to the emperor. Since Ji Wanrong and Mo Jiecheng chose to tell Shi Heng about this matter, they naturally expected this.
If Shi Heng reported this matter to the emperor, there would be an advantage, that is, the emperor would not be more suspicious of Mo Jiecheng, nor would he suspect that Mo Jiecheng had done it specifically to frame Mo Junfeng.
Seeing that neither of them refuted, Shi Heng immediately asked someone to call Yuan Zeli to Dali Temple secretly.
In Yuan Zeli's horrified eyes, Shi Heng explained clearly the whole story of what he saw in the nursing home, as well as the inferences of Mo Jiecheng and Ji Wanrong.
That night, Yuan Zeli and Shi Heng secretly entered the palace.
The news of entering the palace was very secretive. The two people probably used a special method of contacting the emperor to hide it from all the eyes and ears in the palace.
However, before Yuan Zeli left Dali Temple, he specifically asked Mo Jiecheng if he wanted to enter the palace together to testify about the matter.
Mo Jiecheng shook his head after hearing this without even the slightest hesitation.
"No, Mr. Yuan, Xiao Wang is afraid."
Yuan Zeli frowned slightly: "What are you afraid of?"
"Xiao Wang is afraid that my father will be angry to death when he sees Xiao Wang. Either he will be angry to death, or I will be beaten to death."
Yuan Zeli staggered as he walked out the door.
The two adults stayed in the palace all night and did not return.
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, news spread in the capital.
The news was about yesterday's sanatorium. It was such a fuss that almost everyone knew about it.
Many family members of victims of disappearances in Beijing and Beijing suburbs have proven that what Chen Lijuan said in court is true.
None of the victims of the disappearances died. They were all rescued by the compassionate King of Chu and were brought to the sanatorium. The sanatorium was so beautiful that it was almost like a paradise.
All the missing persons had a wonderful reunion dinner with their families in the nursing home. Some of them returned to the capital, while others did not.
However, the victims were all "alive" well, Mo Junfeng's suspicion was completely eliminated, the Prince of Chu's Mansion was re-opened, and Mo Junfeng returned to the mansion.
In addition, another conspiracy theory is rampant in the capital, to the effect that Mo Junfeng was falsely accused and was specially arranged by Mo Jiecheng.
This means that Mo Jiecheng wants to take this opportunity to cooperate with Ji Wanrong's demonic medical skills to frame his biological brother Mo Junfeng, who is a compatriot, and become the prince.
As soon as this news came out, almost the whole capital was shocked. Some people felt that Mo Jiecheng was cruel and ruthless in killing his brothers and was an out-and-out careerist.
Not only Mo Jiecheng, but also Ji Wanrong was forced to bear the infamy.
After all, everything they did became a piece of paper in front of those living people.
The angry people almost surrounded Prince Han's Mansion and Xie's Mansion.
Because of this rumor, Mo Jiecheng claimed to be ill early this morning and did not go to the morning court.
However, he did not stay in Prince Han's Mansion. Instead, he used Qing Gong to fly out from the wall, went to Xie's residence to find Ji Wanrong, and together they went to see Mrs. Xu's home.
Old woman Xu is the mother of "Chen Lijuan". There are not many people in the nursing home who choose to return to the capital, but Chen Lijuan is one of them.
Ji Wanrong felt that Mrs. Xu was in danger with Chen Lijuan by her side.
