"Don't be in such a hurry."
Lin Mengya stopped the guard and did not rush to let him take the corpse out.
"But is there anything wrong?"
The guard asked cautiously. But in their opinion, there should be no problem.
"Can you lend me your saber?"
The guard immediately handed it over with both hands. After Lin Mengya took it, she carefully cut open the neck of the corpse.
Sure enough, it was exactly as she had imagined.
The skin of the corpse was very thick, almost like tree bark.
But there was almost no muscle or blood vessel tissue inside.
Instead, it was filled with something similar to the cocoon silk. It was just that it was shrunk under the skin, which was even more creepy.
"Miss, the people outside are clamoring for His Highness to give them an explanation. What do you think we should do? "
The guard was very anxious, but did not dare to urge her.
Lin Mengya looked at the corpse. If she took it out now, she was afraid that the abnormality inside the corpse would be exposed. But this was not the most important thing.
The main thing was that Long Tianhao was in charge of these corpses. If it was discovered, it was obvious who would be responsible.
"Do you know who the person who shouted the most fiercely is?"
"It seems to be the Zhang family of Huaiyang Prefecture. The people who died were originally not direct descendants of the aristocratic families. So the main family did not care much. But although that person is a collateral relative, he is quite capable, so he came here to make a scene. "
Sometimes there were some contradictions between the collateral relatives and the direct descendants.
But the main family would definitely not ignore this kind of thing.
But they were all killed because they were watching the scene, so it was reasonable even if they came to make a scene.
But how did this matter leak out?
"Anyway, bring that person here first. Tell them that His Highness Xi only allowed him to come in. If he does not dare to come in, tell those people that he has a personal grudge with His Highness Xi, so he came to make a scene. Do you understand? "
Due to the pressure of public opinion, Long Tianhao had to take it seriously.
But at the same time, they could also use public opinion to shift the target of this matter.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Long Tianhao came in one after another with another person.
"His Highness Xi, didn't you say that I can see my nephew's corpse?"
That person's tone was very impolite. He seemed to be a very difficult person to deal with.
Long Tianhao's face darkened, but he still followed Lin Mengya's request and brought her in.
"This should be Old Master Zhang, right?"
She went up to him with a smile, and her eyes turned slightly, looking somewhat amiable.
"Your Highness, why is there a woman here?"
Zhang Mao glared at the woman in front of him, his tone devoid of any respect.
"Old Master Zhang, don't worry about me for now. I only have one question for you. Do you want to protect or abandon the Zhang Clan? "
Zhang Mao was confused by her attitude.
His intuition told him that this woman was not simple.
Unfortunately, he did not recognize Miss Gong Yagong, who everyone in the Dragon City knew.
"What do you mean by that? You're threatening me! "
"I wouldn't dare. Besides, if I threatened you, would there be any benefits? The Zhang Family doesn't have any business dealings with us. The reason why I asked was to remind Master Zhang. Don't forget where you are. "
The Emperor was the supreme commander of the country, be it in name or in reality.
Although the Holy Cathedral was more prestigious than the Emperor, that was because the imperial power had changed a few times.
The current Emperor not only had strategies, but he also had methods and courage.
It was only a matter of time before he consolidated the imperial power.
That was why some people did not want to see this happen.
The most direct way was to sow discord between the aristocratic families and the Emperor.
"This is Dragon City, yes, but we have to be reasonable here, don't we? My nephew died here for no reason. Fine, he was unlucky, we admit it. But we want the body back, what's wrong with that? "
Zhang Mao was very agitated, and his eyes were wide open. It seemed that he was really angry.
Lin Mengya saw that he did not seem to be pretending, so she exchanged a look with Long Tianhao and came up with an idea.
"Don't you want the body back? Alright, I'll bring you to see it. But there's one thing you have to understand. "
She said calmly, with a hint of deterrence.
"If you want to know, you'll have to pay a price. And if you reveal anything about what's inside, you and the Zhang family will be finished. " She was not trying to scare him. The strangeness of this matter was far beyond her imagination.
She was not trying to scare him. The strangeness of this matter was far beyond her imagination.
If she really wanted to crack it completely, not only would she need time, she would also need a lot of things.
Seeing that she was so serious, Zhang Mao could not help but gasp. He looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously. Her attitude seemed to imply that he had to believe her.
She led the people into the depths of the snow cave. The lights were very dim, and they could not see the whole scene.
Zhang Mao squinted his eyes. He could only see long figures. But when they came before him, he widened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
"This …"
The transparent human cocoon made Zhang Mao lose the ability to express himself.
It seemed that Lin Mengya's guess was right.
"This is why His Highness Xi did not return the corpse to you. You don't want to go back with this strange thing, do you? "
It was human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Moreover, Zhang Mao had never seen this thing before. When he saw the nervous and serious expressions of the people around him, he could not help but panic.
Fortunately, he was a person who had been through a lot. So far, he was not so scared that he could not speak coherently.
"What did you do? Why did these corpses become like this?! I understand now. You want to use these things to scare us so that we will not pursue the matter of you mutilating the bodies, right? "
His imagination was quite rich, but unfortunately, it was not used in the right place.
"How about this, you can choose all the methods. If you can dig up the body, then we will take all the blame. If not, you can choose to talk to us. Your Highness, let's go out first. "
Lin Mengya smiled, leaving one person to help and the other to hold the light source.
Together with Long Tianhao, they left the snow cave where the bodies were placed.
"Aren't you afraid that he is a spy sent by those people?"
Long Tianhao asked curiously. He was a little nervous at first.
But when he saw Lin Mengya's calm reaction, he gradually calmed down.
"I don't think he is a spy. He was just used by others. Since others can use him, why can't we? "
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows, as if she was hinting at something.
"You really are audacious, daring to scheme against anyone."
This matter, if it wasn't related to Temple, then it was related to the Three Kings.
But no matter who it was, they were all enemies to the Emperor.
Long Tianhao did not care whether he could recover his memory in the future. Since he was on the Emperor's side now, he would be on the same side in the future.
Therefore, she had to eliminate those unstable factors for him.
"If you want to blame someone, blame them for being dishonest first."
She smiled indifferently, looking like a cunning fox, which made people feel itchy.
But in her heart, she was not as relaxed as she looked.
That thing was too strange. He didn't know why his blood could actually have an effect.
Could it be that this thing had something to do with her?
Unfortunately, she did not have time to find out about it.
Sounds came from inside one after another. It seemed that Old Master Zhang had put in a lot of effort to expose their "lies".
However, not long after, the man walked out with a gloomy expression.
"How about it, Old Master Zhang? Can we have a good talk now?"
She greeted him with a smile. This result was within her expectation.
Zhang Mao did not say anything, but just stared at her coldly.
But the latter was very generous and gave her a smile.
"Alright, what do you want to talk about?"
Old Master Zhang squeezed out the words through his teeth. Lin Mengya smiled and exchanged a look with Long Tianhao. It seemed that the opportunity had come.
The crowd outside was not as excited as before because the leader had left.
Everyone was watching and waiting for the result of Old Master Zhang's entry.
But after waiting for a long time, the man did not come out. Some people in the crowd began to panic.
Fortunately, Zhang Mao finally came out.
"Everyone, listen to me!"
The crowd became lively again when they saw Zhang Mao.
Zhang Mao immediately raised his voice.
"His Highness Xi did have some difficulties, so no matter how many times I begged him, he refused to let me see my nephew's corpse. Since this is the case, let's go and talk to the emperor. "
Compared to when he went in, Zhang Mao's attitude was not as positive after he came out.
Everyone was wondering what Zhang Mao had gone through in there.
"Brother Zhang, let's go and talk to the emperor. Can he give us a satisfactory answer?"
Naturally, some people in the crowd were doubtful.
But Zhang Mao shook his head and looked at the crowd, not knowing what to say.
In the end, he left with his men.
"Is it really okay to tell him what to do?"
In the snow field, Long Tianhao asked softly as he looked at the crowd dispersing.
"He is a smart man, so he knows what is the best way to do it. He doesn't fully believe what we said, and thinks that you are behind this, so he will come to see for himself tonight. You'd better ask your men to pay more attention. The oddity of this snow field cannot be explained in a few words. "
Lin Mengya felt a little melancholy. In fact, she had merely repeated the truth to Zhang Mao.
But she had no idea what this damn thing was.
