The Story of a Destitute Noblewoman Farming

Chapter 188 The Emperor's Fear

After the report was finished, Lu Linlang stood alone outside the window, staring into the distance in a daze.

"Sister, I just heard that the person who went to inquire has returned, but what happened? You rarely have such an expression." Yunxi walked in and saw her staring blankly at the window, thinking that this matter might be very serious.

"Yunxi, do you think there is anyone in this world who, after taking some medicine, becomes stronger but has the side effect of becoming shorter?" Lu Linlang couldn't help but ask when she saw him come in.

"Such an increase in strength can only be achieved through training. Even if he took medicinal herbs, it wouldn't be that exaggerated. Maybe he is born strong?" Yunxi thought about it and felt that the use of medicine was not feasible. He had never seen such medicinal herbs, but he did not completely deny it.

"Then what do you think, if a person becomes addicted to something like Wu Shi San, will he become like this in a short period of time?" Lu Linlang was not giving up. Thinking of the situation described by the spies, he had to go back at a fixed time every night, which was very much like the feeling of being addicted.

"Wushisan will only make people unconscious, or even lose their strength and become thin, but their strength will increase. This is very strange, and it doesn't seem like that to me." Yunxi shook her head again.

Lu Linlang hadn't figured out the reason for those people's changes for the time being. It couldn't be that there were really gods in this world. They were the gatekeepers of the Emperor of Heaven. A noble family that still had human greed might have just given themselves a resounding title.

She wrote down everything she had encountered in detail, three letters in total, one to the emperor, one to Yunyi, and one to He Yue. He Yue led troops in battle and might have encountered some strange things, so there might be some clues. She was also worried that she would be targeted and the news could not be delivered to the capital, so she divided the letters into several people.

Lu Linlang's spies in various places also began their investigations. They all received instructions to secretly investigate an organization or gang called Dihuan, or directly look for abnormal businesses like Chenji County to see how many places they have infiltrated.

In the capital, the emperor and Yun Yi both received the letter sent by Lu Linlang. After reading it, they both frowned, and the emperor was even more shocked. Others may not know about the Emperor's organization, but after she became emperor, she had seen the secrets of this organization.

It was originally thought that those people had disappeared long ago, but now they suddenly appear. Thinking of what those people did when Daqi was founded, the emperor is even more afraid of their appearance.

"This matter is very dangerous. I originally thought that this news would never appear, but unexpectedly, one wave of trouble has not yet subsided when another wave of trouble comes. It is really not easy to be an emperor. Those women who were killed were all innocent. Yunyi, I will write a letter to He Yue immediately. You and He Yue will be responsible for investigating this matter.

Go directly to the Imperial Palace Secret Vault later. There aren't many records of the Emperor's Organization. I hope these records will help you find out the purpose of those people. You must eliminate them and not let them cause panic."

The emperor summoned Yun Yi and assigned him a task directly.

Seeing the emperor so fearful, Yun Yi couldn't help but wonder in her heart what kind of role this organization was. Why did the emperor change color at the mention of it? Even the regent at the time couldn't make her change color like this.

It was not until the emperor took him into the secret vault and let him read it alone that Yun Yi realized how terrifying these people were.

There is a book in the secret library that specifically records this organization called Dihuan. They appeared when Taizu was fighting. At that time, they gave a lot of money and food to help Taizu start his career. At the beginning, Taizu thought they were just like-minded and knowledgeable people and appreciated them very much.

But the people in this organization are very strange. They wear black robes and never reveal their true faces in front of others. They are short in stature, but as strong as bulls.

They only sent out some doctors, and they were able to cure many soldiers' serious injuries. However, those people were also very strange. They would only appear at fixed times. After dark, they would definitely return to their residences, and come out an hour later, full of energy again.

At first, Taizu thought it was just their hobby, but it didn't take long before Taizu and his men discovered the clues.

One day, the founding princess and General Qiu accidentally discovered that they had discarded something. Out of curiosity about these people, they followed them. After the person left, they went to look for the discarded things and found a lot of corpses.

Moreover, the blood of those corpses had been sucked out, and they were all women. However, before this, they had never heard the voices of women. Because of the war, there were only men stationed around. It was very strange where these women came from.

The founding princess immediately reported these matters to the emperor. The emperor sent two people to investigate privately and discovered something extraordinary.

It turned out that those men in black robes would actually go out at night and run quickly to places twenty or thirty miles away. After capturing some women, they would knock them unconscious and bring them back.

Just because these men in black robes said they were not used to living with others, and the tents they lived in were some distance away from the military camp, no one thought they could go back and forth in such a short time, so their crimes were not discovered.

The men in black robes soon discovered that the two men were following them and were about to kill them. Fortunately, Taizu arrived in time with his men. After their true purpose was exposed, the men in black robes immediately left with their men.

General Qiu stepped forward to stop them and found that those people suddenly became very angry and humiliated, and their tempers became greater than usual. In the end, he caught a few people, and the others all fled quickly.

After those people were captured, they looked at them with eyes like wild beasts and roared from their mouths. Then, their blood vessels burst and they died. After their black robes were removed, everyone took a deep breath, because these people actually lost their skin the moment the black robes were removed, leaving only these wooden signs on their bodies.

They had seen those people carrying the wooden sign with them before, and they attached great importance to it.

Their black robes were not ordinary black robes. The material could actually cover their flesh and skin, and no rotten smell could be smelled.

Everyone was shocked by this scene. After these people left, in order to avoid panic, Taizu asked General Qiu and others to put this memory to dust. They told the soldiers who had seen them that those people had left, and also asked people to seal up all the records about these people.

Since then, these people seemed to have disappeared from the world in an instant. For hundreds of years, no one heard of the existence of this organization. However, Taizu was always wary of those people, worried that they would appear again.

They could find no other information about the origins of those people.

After reading this record, Yun Yi also felt his scalp tingling. It was really terrifying that such a person could exist in the world.

But since Taizu couldn't find out the information back then, where should they start looking? Moreover, those people have high martial arts values ​​and strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities, making them difficult to deal with.
