544 The Dreamer

"The people from the fifth family look down on Mu Linglong."

Wu Nian blinked, "I think our fifth family seems to be very powerful when you think." For those unfamiliar ancestors, the evaluation given by Wu Nian was a bit arrogant and a little unpopular.

"well enough!"

Come on, it’s useless to ask. In the eyes of such an ancient god, any identity is not so important in front of him. "Mu Linglong is the little princess of the Prince's Mansion. This identity must be fine. How powerful should our fifth family be? I look down on Linglong?" Linglong also called her mother for so long, and she was the most qualified one she had ever seen. Why was she not worthy of the fifth Feiyang?

"No matter how noble she is, in the eyes of those in the fifth family, she is just an ordinary person, without any special spiritual power, and she cannot easily control the advantages they have. Even descendants will gradually lose this skill. As the most powerful heir of the fifth family, how could they be willing to give up such a person with good qualifications?"

The more I listened, the more curious I became, "So what exactly did my ancestor family do?"

"Dreammaker."

The fifth thought pursed his lips, dream creator?

What is a dream maker?

I understand the literal meaning, but I don’t understand the deeper meaning.

"You can go in and out of your own or others' dreams without authorization, change the dreams, and recreate a new dream. Such people are called dream makers, and your ancestors are people with such supernatural powers. Every generation will inherit them. Whoever has better qualifications will be qualified to be the master of the fifth family. When it comes to the fifth generation, he is the best among the young people and has been given the highest hope by everyone, but he wants to marry an ordinary person, which is what they do not allow."

"According to you, I should have inherited my dream-making talent, and even the ancestors before me should have such talent." But she did not, and even the letters did not record who had such talent.

"In order to marry Mu Linglong, Wu Feiyang was willing to abandon his abilities and became an ordinary person. He completely cut off contact with those people from the next generation of Wu Feiyang."

Unexpectedly, his ancestors would be so affectionate and inexplicably have a good impression of Di Wu Feiyang.

It was dawn, and Xiangyang Village ushered in the morning light, and shouts came from the foot of the mountain, "Princess Princess?"

The fifth thought curled his lips. These people who are so disgraceful, she and her husband are alone, so why are they going out to make trouble?

"I suspect that there is something else behind Xiangyang Village, not just because of the guards of those ghost officers and soldiers. The people who have suffered the plague cannot escape. It seems that there is something that will restrain them from getting out."

Turning his eyes to the suppressed coffin, "Is it related to it?"

"It's related, maybe not necessarily."

"Let Mu Yinong find out everything before talking about it!"

"They are here, go down the mountain and be careful."

At this time, Mu Yinong had already rushed to the mountain, only three meters away from her, stopped and his narrow eyes hit Di Wu Nian's body, which made her roll her eyes very unceremoniously. He felt that his heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

"You are here, I'm going to have something to ask you for help." After that, he stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, pulled him to the mahogany coffin, covering only a little soil, and the signs around the coffin lid remained.

Mu Yinong pulled out his wrist, "Don't pull me, I will follow you."

The fifth thought didn't care much, "Come on, look at this sign, is the owner of this coffin an official of the prosperous dynasty?"

Looking in the direction of her finger, a rare animal was depicted along the side wall of the coffin lid. It was vaguely visible that Mu Yinong relied on guessing, "It was a bit like a egret. Generally, only a small official of the sixth rank used the pattern of the egret as a symbol of his identity."

"Can you find the owner of this coffin, or even the person who died of the plague in Xiangyang Village?"

Mu Yinong frowned, "Because of the plague in Xiangyang Village, everyone in the village died. Why did you investigate this matter?" After experiencing the changes in different personalities of Yan Er around him, he would definitely not make such decisive judgments as before, and it has nothing to do with ghosts.

"But what I see is their burnt look. This is just the death they showed before they die. If they died because of the plague, at least they should be sick."

"You mean, they might have been burned to death?"

The fifth thought shrugged, "You have to investigate this matter yourself, and finally as soon as possible." He pointed to the suppressed coffin, "It's better to send someone to seal it up and instruct others not to move anyone in this coffin."

"I know."

"Then I will go down the mountain to rest first. Leave the rest of the matter to the prince for the time being. Let me tell you all the information after you check it out." After that, he waved his hand and wanted to go down the mountain.

"Don't interfere in this matter, I will handle it well."

Wu Nian looked back and asked with a smile, "What is the prince going to do?"

"If there is an injustice, if you should reverse the case, you will reverse the case. I will definitely deal with it impartially."

"Even if you don't assure me, I believe you, but Prince, are you sure you can subdue those ghosts?"

When Mu Yinong heard the word ghost, his heart trembled, "The princess really believes that there are ghosts in this world?"

"I believe it."

"Why?"

"I've seen it! Where did so many come from, why?"

Have seen it?

Mu Yinong lowered his eyelids, his voice extremely low and hoarse, "What kind of ghost have you seen? Do I know anyone?"

Wu Nian was stunned and couldn't help but look at Mu Yinong deeply. This was the first time she saw him so seriously. A handsome man looked a little tired, and dark circles appeared in her eyes. It can be seen that he was not very comfortable these days. Perhaps because he looked a bit like the modern Min Yuchen, she felt a little uncomfortable.

He sighed lightly and asked lightly, "Does the prince want to see a ghost?"

Mu Yinong suddenly raised his head, "Do you have a way?" He definitely asked subconsciously.

"The tears of cows are damn. If the prince wants to see another world, he can try it. If there is any bad thing during this period, you can wash away the cow tears in your eyes with clean water."

Mu Yinong pursed his lips, but stopped talking.

"Don't be too excited. You shouldn't be scared."

He clenched his fists tightly, wanting to give it a try, but he was afraid that after he tried it, he would really be able to see her. He knew more than anyone else what does a person's death mean?

Mu Yinong was very efficient and found out the truth about the incident in less than three days.

When Xiangyang Village was first infected with the plague, it was a young widow who happened to live next to the suspect of the infectious person. Because only Xiangzhong’s family of three came back from another place, and at this time, there was a plague in Xiangyang Village, so everyone naturally pointed the finger at Xiangzhong’s family of three.

The plague spread very quickly at that time. Many men in the same village were infected. At first, everyone thought it was just a headache and fever, so they all treated it as wind and cold. Later, half of the people in the village had a burning and coughing. After coughing for a long time, they would cough up bleeding.

People in the village died one after another, regardless of gender, age. This matter finally attracted the attention of the county magistrate. He specially invited the imperial doctor from the palace to come and diagnose it. What exactly caused so many people to die in a village?

It doesn't matter if this investigation was found, and such a terrible thing as the plague was found, which immediately caused panic in the whole village.

Since the young widow was sick, only Xiang Zhong's family of three came to their village. Everyone digs deeply into Xiang Zhong's grandfather went to Beijing to take the exam. The indifference of the people in the village, especially the village chief's wife, not only refused, but also drove the people out. Maybe this was his deliberate revenge on the indifference of the whole village.

They even suspected that Xiang Zhong had an affair with the young widow.

After finding the air outlet, Xiang Zhong's family of three was always beaten. They also wanted to escape from this place. Because of the guards of the officers and soldiers, they had to give up and witness that the officers and soldiers did not care about the lives and deaths of the people. They pulled the person who tried to escape and beat them up. They were directly burned after being beaten to death. The people finally calmed down and did not dare to run around anymore.

They were afraid that they would not die because of the plague, but because they were beaten to death.

The feeling of waiting for death every day is enough to completely destroy people's will.

They could only pray every day, and then kept watching others die, watching the bodies of those who suffered from the plague be burned.

Later, another official came to the village and was infected less than two days later. It is said that his ancestors were originally from Xiangyang Village. The solution was not found and they died in the end. Before their death, they told their descendants to bury his corpse in Xiangyang Village. Everyone thought that he wanted to return to their roots.

If an official dies, in the eyes of the common people, the officials are protected by the court and the imperial physicians personally treat the disease, they will die so easily. Wouldn't there be no one to treat them, the poor people?

Fear had reached its peak, and they could only exert their anger on Xiang Zhong. Perhaps death made people brave. These people not only made things difficult for Xiang Zhong, but also accidentally killed Xiang Zhong's son Xiaofeng.

When a person dies, everyone is panicked. Perhaps even they themselves don’t understand what they are doing, and no one wants to admit that they have done something wrong. Everyone evacuated in disappointment. Xiang Zhong’s wife hugged Xiaofeng and cried loudly, but she couldn’t save Xiaofeng’s life no matter what.

When Wu Nian heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Since the plague was transmitted by Xiang Zhong and so many people died, why is Xiang Zhong's family of three still fine?"

"This is the key point of the whole thing. The only conclusion is that Xiang Zhong has no plague at all. I put the focus of the matter on the young widow, because she was the first person to have symptoms. Then I found many old people who married from Xiangyang Village and learned about her specific situation. The widow Xiang He died at a young age and was not a woman who was a woman. Not only did she have an affair with many men in the village, but she also hooked up with men from other villages. Of course, the dead official was one of them, and all the men who had an affair with the widow also died from the plague."

"So, the first person to have the plague is one of the people who had an affair with the widow?"

"Yes, after investigation, no one left the village in the early stages of illness. Only the sixth-rank official had just rushed back from another village that had suffered a plague hundreds of miles away. At first, no one knew that there was a plague in that village. Until the matter of Xiangyang Village could not be hidden, and people died one after another in that village. Everyone knew that there was a plague."

"What happened later?"

"The sixth-rank small official is called Xiang Duan, and there is also a son named Xiang Zichu who is the deputy general. He seemed to be following Su Zihan at that time." When he said that Su Zihan, a trace of sharpness flashed across his face.

The name Su Zihan is not unfamiliar with him, but he didn't expect that Yiluo would be entangled with him so deeply.

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Stay on!"

"Xiang Zichu has a bright future. Xiang Duan was afraid that the court would find out about this and eventually implicate his son, so he thought of a particularly sinister way. He didn't know that he knew Xiang Zhong from the villagers. He might think that he was the best scapegoat, and then began to fan the flames and attempt to use Xiang Zhong to take the blame for him."

The fifth thought lightly opened his red lips, "Why do despicable people have run to the court to become officials."

Mu Yinong coughed twice, "Of course there are good officials."

"Sorry, I haven't met it so far."

"Do you still want to continue listening to me?"
