"But I want to see what this mark can do to me." Xia Yu rolled his eyes and showed a malicious smile.

"Your Majesty, after this incident, Wu Zhou must have too much time to take care of himself." After confirming that Xia Yu was fine, Jing Ke looked at Zetian City from a distance and smiled.

"Oh? How do you say this?" Xia Yu was a little curious, Jing Ke seemed to know something hidden.

Jing Ke held his hands and smiled:

"Your Majesty, during these days in Zetian City, Wei Chen was responsible for inquiring about information. He learned that since a year ago, there have been frequent disappearances of civilian girls in Zetian City.

Cases piled up, and the government sent people to investigate for a whole year, but no clues were found. However, Di Renjie, who is best at detecting mysterious cases, has been troubled by various chores.

In the end, it developed more and more, and even the surrounding cities, caravan maids, and traveling merchant women disappeared in large numbers, exceeding tens of thousands.

Presumably, they are the people in the Bodhisattva statue."

Xia Yu was thoughtful, but he didn't expect Wu Zhou to have such a hidden secret.

"It seems that none of these forces with thousands of years of wealth is simple."

"I see you hesitate to speak, what else is there to hide?"

Xia Yu's interest was also aroused and he asked Jing Ke, who had evasive eyes.

Jing Ke lowered his head and held his hands:

"As the king's reputation for violence has grown recently, Wu Zhou officials have spoken out... saying that the loss of civilian girls was the result of someone sent by the king..."

When Jing Ke said this, he stopped again and kept his expression calm.

Obviously, Wu Zhou's slander against him must be much dirtier than what Jing Ke said.
