After clearing Xiaomeng

Chapter 372

Yinzhen asked Chunhua and the others to leave with the children, while he and Su Wanchun met Patriarch Li.

Patriarch Li kowtowed to Yinzhen and Su Wanchun, and after being called up and offered to sit down, he said, "My lord, Fujin, Caomin wrote a letter to the Ministry of Punishment secretly, otherwise Caomin really has nothing to do."

"What's going on?" Yinzhen asked.

"The thing is like this. Not long ago, our rich businessman Li Yuanwai brought back two children. These two children look really scary. They are all white. Under the sun, their skin will turn red, and then they will cry out in pain. We were all terrified at the time and thought it was a goblin."

"Later, several people in our village were killed by wolves, but a foreigner came and said that they were killed by those two children, because in their country, there is a kind of devil called a vampire, who specializes in sucking blood. What about human blood!"

"The common people were frightened, and wanted to burn the two children to death, but Li Yuanwai refused to let them go. Everyone surrounded Li Yuanwai's house every day, and they would not stop until the two children were burned to death. The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. Can vampires escape us to the Qing Dynasty? So, I wrote a letter, asking the officials of the Ministry of Punishment to come and help with the investigation, so as not to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Yinzhen felt that Patriarch Li was right: "Where are the foreigners?"

"I'm still in the small town, and I'm staying at this inn. I seem to have been drinking in the morning, and the waiter said he was falling asleep."

"Then let me ask you, have these foreigners ever talked about how to get rid of vampires?" Su Wanchun asked.

"They said that it is enough to crucify the vampire with a cross. Naturally, the grassroots have never heard of what a cross is, but they always feel that if we want to suppress demons, we have Taoist priests here, and a piece of talisman paper can solve the problem. How can we use nails? .” Patriarch Li didn’t believe these few foreigners, but most people in the town did.

"Are you taking money?" Yinzhen asked.

"Collect money, the villagers are collecting money." Anyway, patriarch Li won't take any money.

Su Wanchun smiled, and said to Catcher Lin: "Go and bring those foreigners here. If you dare to make trouble in our Qing Dynasty, you are looking for death!"

"Yes." Catcher Lin led the people out.

Patriarch Li sat on the sidelines and waited. With the prince coming, he was naturally relieved.

After a while, those blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigners were brought over.

There were three of them, and after hearing about Yinzhen's identity, they bowed deeply.

"Kneel down!" Su Peisheng scolded.

The foreigners glanced at each other, shook their heads, and said in broken Chinese: "We are foreigners, so we don't need to follow your Qing rules."

"There is a kind of do as the Romans do. When you come to our Qing Dynasty, you have to abide by our Qing rules!" Su Wanchun said coldly.

The three foreigners still did not kneel down.

The leader of the dark guard couldn't stand it any longer, and kicked them down to their knees one by one from behind.

Seeing this posture, the three foreigners were a little scared, so naturally they didn't dare to say a word.

"You say those two children are vampires, but what evidence do you have?" Su Wanchun asked.

"Their skin turns red when exposed to the sun, and their bodies are all white. This is the characteristic of a vampire," said one of the foreigners.

Su Wanchun nodded: "Have you ever seen a vampire?"

"This..." The three of them fell silent, obviously they had never seen it before.

"You haven't seen it before, but you dare to come to our Qing Dynasty to cheat money, who gave you the courage?!" Yinzhen was angry.

What the foreigners saw was a stubborn stubble, and their sense of superiority disappeared instantly.

Patriarch Li looked at them angrily, wishing he could kick them to death!
"Bewitching the public and bewitching the hearts of the people, it's so deceiving, I took it outside and chopped it up directly." Anyway, I'm not from my own country, so I don't feel bad if I cut it off.

Su Wanchun has no objection, if people like this let them live, they will continue to confuse people's hearts when they go to other places in the future.

"You can't kill us, we are not from your country!"

Yinzhen looked at them and asked, "How many people come here at a time?" Could it be spies sent by foreign countries?While investigating the military situation of our Qing Dynasty, and at the same time fanning the flames among the people, such people would rather kill by mistake than let them go.

"No more, just us." One of the foreigners was very serious.

The other two glanced at him, wishing they could slap their companions a few times.

Yinzhen didn't care if what they said was true or not, so he sent Catcher Lin to take three foreigners to the square in the center of the town, tell their crimes, and then cut them off in front of the common people, so as to stop the rumors of vampires up.

Su Wanchun stood up: "We need to go to Li Yuanwai's house to see."

"Okay, let's go now." Apart from looking at the children, Yinzhen also wanted to look at the dead villager.

Seeing that Su Wanchun was leaving, the children followed whatever they said.

Su Wanchun and Yinzhen had no choice but to take them to Li Yuanwai's house together.

All the villagers in the town were gathered in the center of the town by Patriarch Li, and he said to everyone: "Just now the king of Yong County came over and found out about the vampires. These are foreigners who deceive the public with their lies, and their hearts are to be punished! What do you say? Say, how can we listen to a few foreigners about our country's affairs?"

"Is the prince here?" The villagers chattered.

"My lord and Fujin have gone to Li Yuanwai's house now. They need to investigate carefully. Moreover, the three dead villagers were really killed by wolves. It's not like you haven't seen it before. Don't worry about it because of some sudden occurrence. and trust some outsiders." Patriarch Li said.

"Patriarch, what about these three foreigners?" The villagers must believe that Yinzhen is a prince, so he understands a lot.

"The prince said, cut it off directly, so as not to harm others."

"My lord is right, just listen to my lord!"

Good guy, the common people's sanity was restored to its original state in an instant because of Yinzhen's arrival.

The mouths of those foreigners were gagged, and they shook their heads desperately.

Catcher Lin felt that it was almost done, so he asked the people from the Criminal Department to do it.

Then the hand raised the knife and the three foreigners ended the scene.

Yinzhen and Su Wanchun came to the door of Li Yuanwai's house, and the villagers who were guarding outside the door all left.

Su Peisheng went to knock on the door, and after a while, a servant came out: "Who are you?"

"Our Prince Yong wants to see you Li Yuanwai." Su Peisheng said.

"Prince?" The servant was dumbfounded, it was the first time he saw the prince at such a big age!

"What are you doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and lead the way!" Su Peisheng said.

"Yes, please come inside." The servant also forgot to salute Yinzhen and Su Wanchun, and led them into the main courtyard with smirks all the way.

Li Yuanwai didn't expect the prince from the capital to come, and brought his whole family to kneel in the yard to greet Yinzhen and Su Wanchun.

Yinzhen cried out and directly explained the purpose of coming: "I heard that you brought back two white children, which caused panic to the villagers. My king came to check."

"My lord, don't listen to those three foreigners, they are just children!" Wang Yuanwai said in fear.

"It's okay, this king chopped off those three foreigners."

"Your Highness is wise." Wang Yuanwai gave another salute gratefully. If it wasn't for His Highness's arrival, he would really be unable to hold on any longer.
