Origin System, I have a barren mountain

Yun Ziren felt a little flustered. Although he knew when he came that he would not have a good ending, he did not expect the other party to bring up the cause of death of the two people directly.

"How would I know about such a thing? The people the Emperor sent weren't traveling with me. You don't mean to imply that I killed them, do you?"

Yun Ziren quickly stood up. He didn't want to get involved in this matter any further. He had come here because of the words he had said out of turn.

If Cheng Yunmo really killed him on the spot, what would be the point? After all, the emperor might not care.

Ning glanced at them from an inconspicuous spot, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes. She hadn't expected that this Yun person would be a bully who preyed on the weak.

They were so arrogant when they first arrived, but their master was able to easily deal with them.

She carefully examined the two dead bodies on the ground; the wounds on their bodies suggested close-range attacks.

If that's the case, Ning Yatou's heart tightened, and she silently looked around to observe the people.

The thin eunuch and the unknown man died too quietly.

Cheng Yunmo noticed that Ning Yatou, who had been standing in an inconspicuous corner and seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly walked up to her side, as if she wanted to say something. Cheng Yunmo turned her head and glanced at her.

If it were someone else, they might not have subconsciously taken this matter seriously. Ning is usually a very cautious person, especially fond of paying attention to details. Maybe she discovered something.

Cheng Yunmo didn't ask rashly, but followed Ning Yatou's gaze to look around, and then she realized that it was the murderer.

The reason Ning is doing this now is probably because she has already identified someone as the murderer, but the murderer is not important right now, because the blame is on her.

"You lot, protect Granny Qing and Ning and go back first."

Cheng Yunmo suddenly spoke up.

Her gaze followed the direction of the man named Yun. The man was somewhat bewildered and seemed to find it hard to believe. He looked behind him and realized that, without him noticing, the Empress Dowager's people were already not far behind him.

Although, although I didn't lay a hand on him.

The mist surrounding the man with the character "Yun" changed, and then uncontrollably poured down a heavy rain on him.

Unable to control the energy they generate, the situation of the Yunzi people is predictable.

The other onlookers also witnessed that Cheng Yunmo, the city lord, was no ordinary person.

Everyone looked at Cheng Yunmo with a certain respect.

Yun was in a terrible state. It shouldn't have been like this from the beginning, and Cheng Yunmo didn't seem to hate him that much.

However, due to their respective interests, they have come to this point.

The man with the character "Yun" looked at Cheng Yunmo in a very disheveled state. He wanted to know whether Cheng Yunmo would give him a way out or not if he wanted to.

But the people of Yunzi didn't understand that Cheng Yunmo was no longer a minor imperial advisor; she was now the city lord. All interests had to be prioritized for the city's benefit.

The Yunzi people didn't realize that although Cheng Yunmo no longer held the title of Junior National Preceptor, his current attire and the surrounding atmosphere indicated that he wasn't someone who could easily sit in a good position just because he was kind-hearted.

“Yunzi Ren, you’ve come today, and you think you can just leave like nothing happened? That’s impossible.”
