"Our people have just found a corpse. It seems that he died not long ago. Your Highness asked me to invite you over."
Another person died?
Lin Mengya couldn't help but frown. The turmoil with the queen has not yet passed, and alerts have been stepped up everywhere. How could something happen again?
"Can you find out who it is?"
Bai Su lowered his voice and said, "It seems that he is a small merchant responsible for delivering dry goods to the temple. His Highness is already there. It would be better for you to go and take a look in person."
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat. She glanced at the little girl and her mother she had just met, thinking that things couldn't be such a coincidence.
She hurriedly said goodbye to her mother and daughter. She couldn't bear to tell them about the matter in advance. She hoped that she had guessed wrong.
But somehow she knew that her guess was probably confirmed again.
When faced with misfortune, she would rather be a fool.
The body was found in the kitchen on the sixth floor.
If it weren't for the extra manpower in the kitchen on the sixth floor today, they wouldn't have discovered the body of an unknown man lying in a nearby granary used to store food.
When Lin Mengya arrived, she saw a face that was almost similar to that of the little girl at a glance.
Someone nearby was asking the person in charge of the kitchen if he recognized this person.
Lin Mengya waved her hand and said regretfully, "He is a small businessman who delivers dry goods at the foot of the mountain. He should have brought his wife and daughter with him to deliver goods. If you go to the fifth floor now, you can find them."
The person in charge of the cross-examination was still a little hesitant. After all, with their status, how could the wife of the palace master know about it.
But Long Tianyu still glanced at his wife and ordered, "Go find someone and do what the wife said."
After everyone left, Long Tianyu asked in a low voice, "How do you know? Is there really something wrong with this person?"
Lin Mengya shook her head and took a deep breath.
"I only found out about him when I met his daughter just now. There shouldn't be any problems with them. It's just bad luck that they met someone they shouldn't have met."
Judging from the words and expressions of the little girl and her mother, they should be a very happy family of three.
But now it's all over.
She clenched her hands, feeling even deeper resentment towards those who wantonly massacred civilians.
"Find it for me myself!"
No matter who it is, no matter what the other person's purpose is, if he dares to commit evil under her nose, he will have to bear her anger!
Long Tianyu patted her shoulder.
No matter what his wife wants to do, he will fully support it.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianyu were standing on the sixth floor. She saw with her own eyes that the poor businessman's wife and daughter were hurriedly invited over. The woman's sad cry made her feel sad.
Relatives who were fine just a moment ago have now become corpses. I'm afraid no one can stay sane.
"Properly appease his family and agree to whatever requests they make."
Long Tianyu gave a special instruction.
Although people did not die because of them, he didn't want to see his wife feeling guilty and blaming herself for anything.
Lin Mengya didn't just watch, but walked up to the girl.
The little girl was already crying. Although she was still young, she already knew the meaning of death.
She knelt down to be level with the little girl.
"Stop crying, be good, I will find the murderer of your father for you."
The little girl sobbed and asked, "Will finding the murderer bring my father back to life?"
The little girl's innocent words made Li Mengya feel particularly uncomfortable.
Yes, everyone is already dead, so what if she finds the murderer?
The mother of the girl next to her immediately hugged the girl over and apologized to Lin Mengya while trembling.
"Please forgive me, madam, we didn't do it on purpose."
Seeing the victim's family actually apologizing to herself, Lin Mengya felt even more uncomfortable.
She waved her hands and said feebly, "It doesn't matter. After all, the father of the child passed away because of our negligence. If you need any help, just ask."
The woman looked at her blankly.
Baili Wuchen, who was nearby, also rushed over after finishing the matter.
Seeing this, he stepped forward and introduced the woman in a friendly manner, "This is the kind-hearted wife of our temple master. Although your man has passed away, we will do our best to help you start a new life."
"
When the woman saw this, she didn't even dare to raise her head.
He just held his daughter's hand tightly and listened to their arrangements obediently.
Lin Mengya stood aside and listened as Baili Wuchen found out everything about their mother and daughter and arranged everything properly.
Finally, the little girl quietly broke away from her mother's hand and walked up to her.
"Listen to my father and mother, you are the most noble woman in the world, right?"
Lin Mengya's heart trembled.
"No, I am not……"
How could she explain to the little girl that her father would not have died if it had not been for the fight between them.
But the little girl opened her big clear eyes and asked cautiously, "Since you are so powerful, can you help me find my father?"
Lin Mengya was stunned, and after a long time she said in a hoarse voice, "Sorry, I can't do it."
The little girl lowered her head in disappointment. Just when Lin Mengya wanted to say a few words to comfort her, the little girl suddenly raised her head and said to her with a smile, "I know dad will never come back.
, but can you promise me that you will never let others lose their daddy again?"
Lin Mengya didn't know how to respond.
But the little girl insisted on getting an answer from him.
After a long moment, she nodded gently.
"Okay, I promise you, I will protect other people's fathers so that they will never lose their fathers again."
She couldn't ignore the little girl's kindness.
The little girl who received a positive answer also hugged her gently.
"My grandma said that you are a fairy in the sky. Now I believe it. If it is you, then I am willing to serve the temple forever."
Lin Mengya stood there, not knowing how to react.
The little girl was quickly taken away by her mother, but she still stared blankly at the other person's figure, unable to recover for a long time.
Long Tian had been standing behind her, and when he saw this, he gently took her into his arms.
"This is what the temple means to the common people."
He whispered in her ear.
"In the past, I always thought that if there was no oppression from the outside world by the temple, maybe everyone's competition would not be so fierce. But then I realized that it turned out that the people protected by the temple were never those who were ambitious and powerful, but the ones protected by the temple.
People of the world."
With the suppression of the temple, those people dare not go too far.
And once the entire temple collapses, endless disputes will await the people of the world.
Although I don't know who came up with such a method, it can temporarily suppress the ambitions of those people.
But no matter what, the people still benefited from it.
Now it is her and Long Tianyu's turn to take charge of the temple, so they should do something for the people who devoutly believe in them.
"I understand, don't worry, I won't give up on myself because of this."
Lin Mengya rubbed her face.
She will reinvigorate her spirit and run the temple properly.
As for those moths hiding in the darkness, she will catch them one by one and bring peace and prosperity to everyone.
Looking at his wife who suddenly became energetic, Long Tianyu smiled secretly and nodded.
Such is his elegance that he will treat everyone A time of suffering and hardship turned into the driving force for progress.
Now the death of the girl's father has inspired the wife's sense of responsibility.
At least from now on, he no longer has to worry about his wife not understanding the meaning of the temple's existence.
He knew that these responsibilities should be shouldered by him, but he wanted to share everything about himself with her, whether it was glory or responsibility.
I believe my wife will definitely understand this.
"Wait for me, let's go check it out together."
Long Tianyu smiled and caught up with her.
All loneliness in the world will disintegrate because of another person, and finally melt into memories, replaced by endless happiness.
And he was so lucky to have found his own happiness so early.
Lin Mengya personally led people to inspect the scene.
Xiaoyao's analytical function became a great help to her, and she did not miss any clues.
The man's throat was fatally slit with a knife, and the technique was quite clean and neat. He must have been trained as a killer or someone who acted very ruthlessly.
But there is one thing. It is true that the man was attacked from behind, but his knees showed signs of being attacked.
In other words, people kneel on their knees when they die.
This is quite suspicious.
The small businessman was not particularly tall. If the murderer was a male, then this would be superfluous.
But if the murderer is a woman, then this is very consistent with the traces found on her body.
Moreover, the murderer smelled faintly of wine.
According to the little girl's mother's recollection, her husband seemed to have met someone before.
Once, when her husband was very drunk, he told her that he had found the best wine in the world.
And if he sells the wine to the temple, they can make a fortune from it.
As for who they are, the little girl's father did not explain.
After getting the news, Lin Mengya couldn't help but fall into speculation.
Although drinking is prohibited in the temple on the outside, because of the higher terrain and cold weather, many people like to drink in secret to keep warm.
And because the people who come here are either powerful or extremely wealthy, if you sell good wine to these people, it will indeed be a profitable business.
However, it is not easy to sell things into the temple, especially prohibited items such as alcohol.
So they had to find an acquaintance to open the joint, and that's how the little girl's father was found.
