The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

As for the mayor, even if he didn’t recognize the men in black, he knew very well that they were probably sent here by the higher-ups.

Especially when he saw the appearance of the man in black in front of him, he was even more shocked.

This was because this black-clothed man was the secret guard who had been ordered to contact him some time ago.

However, at this moment, he was killed in this courtyard.

Not only that, there were at least a hundred men in black in the courtyard, but none of them survived.

The Mayor had no idea what had happened in this courtyard during this period of time.

Their plan was to use the fire to drug the guards protecting Lin Yuelan, including Captain Wu.

As long as these people fainted, no matter how powerful Lin Yuelan’s martial arts were, she was still a pregnant woman with a big belly and a heavy body. It would be much easier to deal with her.

However, God’s plan was not as good as man’s!

Even the heavens were on Lin Yuelan’s side because it suddenly started raining heavily and extinguished the fire in an instant.

But even so, the fire had been burning for so long that those people should have fainted.

However, looking at the aggressive appearance of the group of people just now, it seemed that they had not been drugged at all. Otherwise, how could so many black-clothed people die in such a strange manner?

However, what made him even more puzzled was why all the people who died were from his side, while not a single person from Lin Yuelan’s side was missing.

What happened in between?

This mayor couldn’t figure it out, and he couldn’t figure it out either!

However, he knew very well that everything that happened here had to be kept strictly confidential. Otherwise, if word got out, the Black Clouds Kingdom would be the target of the world.

As everyone knew, Princess Lin Yuelan of the Guguo of Longyan Kingdom had come to the Black Cloud Kingdom to treat the king of the country as promised five years ago.

However, as soon as they stepped into the Black Clouds Kingdom, they were assassinated. There were robbers in front and officials behind them. Such an obvious goal made it even more obvious.

It would be fine if their goal were successful. The princess of the Guguo of Longyan Kingdom would be a good hostage in their hands. At that time, they could use the hostage to achieve the goal of unifying the world.

The mayor looked up at the sky and sighed!

“Tell me, what happened in this courtyard just now?” Just as the prefect was lost in his thoughts, the constable carried the man who had stumbled out and threw him in front of the mayor. He shouted sternly,” Speak, what exactly happened? Tell me everything you know!”

The black-clothed man was in a daze. His eyes were already fixed. He seemed to be unable to hear the chief constable’s words clearly.

The bailiff gave the man a big slap.

That person’s mind cleared up a little because of this big slap, but his eyes were still a little dull and dazed as he looked at the person who hit him.

The bailiff shouted again,” What exactly happened in this courtyard?”

That person shook his head and said,”I…” I don’t know!” He pointed to a corner of the courtyard and continued, “When I woke up, I was there, covered in blood-red corpses!”

However, what made him horrified was that the intact human skin hanging on the tree was extremely terrifying.

Seeing that he really couldn’t get anything out of him, the constable let go of him and walked straight to the prefect. He asked hesitantly,” Sir, this…”

After the mayor panicked, he slowly came back to his senses and gradually regained his calm.

He ordered sternly,” Tell everyone to keep what happened here a secret. If any information about this place is leaked, they’ll be beheaded!”

Then, he especially warned,” Remember! There must be no leakage at all. Otherwise, it’ll be as simple as removing your head!”

The bailiff’s pupils constricted violently, and his expression became unusually serious. He replied very cautiously,” Sir, I will definitely give them a severe warning!”

Although he didn’t know what had happened, he knew the seriousness of the matter when he saw the mayor’s expression.

However, how could it not be serious?

The moment Princess Gu of Longyan Kingdom moved into the posthouse, the posthouse caught fire. However, after the fire was extinguished, a large number of corpses of black-robed men appeared. Such a situation made people think deeply.

It was obvious that these men in black had come to assassinate the princess, but for some reason, they had lost their lives.

Once such a major case was spread out, it would set off huge waves.

Since this had happened in Huaifeng City, as the bailiffs in the court, they could not escape any responsibility.

The constable was actually wrong.

The purpose behind this assassination was far more important and serious than he had imagined.

What he did not know was that this assassination had truly angered some people, which had brought a huge hidden danger to the Black Clouds Country. Not long after, the once strongest country would become the first country to perish!

All of this was because of this fire and this assassination!

In the palace, when Xiao Jingrui received the news, he was furious.

“Pa!”

“Pa!”

Xiao Jingrui swept away everything on the table.

The memorials, brush wash, jade porcelain cups, etc., were all swept to the ground, making a mess!

The man in black kneeling on the ground did not dare to move.

A moment later, he shouted loudly,” Men, bring the Governor of Huaifeng City, Fang Yulin, into the capital!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

After taking the secret guards out, Xiao Jingrui collapsed on the chair.

Under such a thorough plan, the captain of the escort team had actually escaped with Lin Yuelan.

He didn’t even need to think about the consequences of Lin Yuelan’s escape to know how serious it would be.

However, what made him even angrier was that he had sent hundreds of elite secret guards, but they could not stop them. Not only that, but none of them survived. They died in a terrifying and miserable manner.

Fang Yulin’s memorial also mentioned that some of the secret guards were only left with a piece of human skin hanging on a tree branch. The scene was very strange.

“Lin Yuelan!” Xiao Jingrui pondered the name again.

The reason why he chose to attack at this time was because he saw that Lin Yuelan was pregnant and had no ability to fight back.

It didn’t matter if he was despicable or shameless. As an ambitious ruler, unifying the world was the greatest ambition of every emperor. Therefore, he could do anything.

As for Lin Yuelan, he wanted to get her, but he also wanted to use her to restrain Jiang Zhennan so that Jiang Zhennan would be cautious when he fought against the Black Clouds Kingdom.

Of course, it would be best if he could use Lin Yuelan to capture Jiang Zhennan.

He knew very well that Jiang Zhennan would not be able to follow him if he used his illness to lure Lin Yuelan here.

Because Jiang Zhennan was related to the safety of the Longyan Kingdom and the entire Yuwen family, even if Jiang Zhennan wanted to come with them in the name of protecting Lin Yuelan, the cunning old emperor Yuwen Longyan would never allow it.

This was the real reason why it was easy for him to make a move.

He arranged for people to probe Lin Yuelan at the Seven Fork Ridge, and the result was that all of them were captured.

Then, he ordered the Governor of Huaifeng City to act according to his plan.

As long as this plan was successful, he would be able to secretly abduct Lin Yuelan into the palace and bring her to him. He would be able to do it without anyone knowing.

But what went wrong?
