Without further hesitation, Zhao Sheng no longer intended to inspect the other corpses.
Because Zhao Sheng had already sensed the lingering yin energy left by the sinister face among the corpses.
Though very faint, if delayed any longer, these corpses might undergo changes.
Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng turned to County Magistrate Zeng Fan behind him and said.
"Mr. Zeng, you should send so people to burn these bodies now!"
"Yes, I will have soone prepare right away!"
County Magistrate Zeng Fan smiled upon hearing Zhao Sheng’s request.
Because Zhao Sheng’s request was exactly what he wanted.
These tragically deceased corpses always brought him an inexplicable chill, making Zeng Fan feel horrified.
If not for waiting for the arrival of a few Profound Bird Guards, Zeng Fan would have already ordered the bodies burnt.
Finally, Zhao Sheng calmly asked, "Where were these deceased found?"
"The southern part of the county town!"
......
Dengfeng County, South Town!
In the center of the southern town lay several grand mansions.
Among them, at the very center, a large mansion had a huge plaque hanging at its main entrance, inscribed with two large characters.
Shen Mansion!
This was the mansion of the Shen Family, the large Pharmacy of Dengfeng County.
Old Master Shen Yunwei of the Shen Family was not only a highly skilled doctor but also a Martial Artist of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.
The reputation of the Shen Family Pharmacy in Dengfeng County was well-known, rivalling the Lu Family Pharmacy.
At this ti, the sky was fully bright, and not far from Shen Mansion, a black dot appeared.
Gradually, the black dot enlarged into a black stallion, with a young man riding on its back.
It was none other than Lu Xuan, coming from Lian Sheng Temple.
"This is the place, I’ve finally arrived!"
Seeing the familiar mansion before him, Lu Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
A year ago, he personally escorted his younger sister, Lu Qingqing, to Dengfeng County, and stayed for a few days at Shen Mansion.
"I wonder how my little sister is doing."
Lu Xuan slowed the horse’s pace and finally stopped at the entrance of Shen Mansion.
At the entrance of Shen Mansion stood two n dressed as family servants, guarding the area.
Lu Xuan quickly dismounted, walked forward, clasped his hands in greeting to the two n.
"Gentlen, I am Lu Qingqing’s elder brother, Lu Xuan."
I’ve co this ti to visit my little sister, I kindly ask you gentlen to convey the ssage on my behalf."
Lu Xuan did not hint at any ulterior motive, but stated his purpose directly.
One younger servant looked sowhat puzzled when he heard the na from Lu Xuan’s mouth.
"Lu Qingqing?"
"Are you stupid? That’s the young lady’s na."
But the older servant quickly understood, scolding the puzzled servant.
Then, the older servant appraised Lu Xuan carefully, his face full of smiles.
The reason being, the noble and dignified aura of Lu Xuan was evident and undoubtedly genuine.
The older servant imdiately bowed and paid his respects to Lu Xuan, quickly speaking up afterward.
"Master, please wait a mont. I will report to the master right away."
Inside the Shen Mansion hall sat two people, one looked like a handso young man, and the other a middle-aged man in his fifties.
They were Old Master Shen Yunwei and his eldest son Shen Yuan.
Shen Yunwei sat in the primary seat while Shen Yuan sat at the first seat on the left side below.
However, their expressions were far from fine, even showing a tinge of fear.
Shen Yuan looked pale as if frightened by sothing and spoke to Shen Yunwei in front.
"Father, what has happened to Mr. Liu’s family, who could have done this?"
Upon hearing his son’s inquiry, Shen Yunwei also frowned.
"This is sothing I don’t know either. I only know that the Liu Mansion has been sealed off by the governnt; no one can enter or leave."
"Alas, Old Liu died so tragically, I wonder which heartless person did it."
A few days ago, Liu Mansion two streets away from them was completely wiped out overnight, with no survivors.
People said the terrifying state of Mr. Liu’s family’s deaths scared several bystanders senseless.
More importantly, the relationship between Shen Mansion and Liu Mansion was very good.
Mr. Liu often visited Shen Mansion to play chess with Shen Yunwei and had Shen Yunwei check his health.
Unexpectedly, just days later, the news of Mr. Liu’s death reached them.
Shen Yunwei couldn’t eat for several days, constantly trying to find out who was responsible.
But the governnt was tightly controlling information, and no one could find anything out.
"Forget it, Yuan’Er, this matter should be kept hidden as much as possible, best not to let Qingqing know. She is already pregnant now."
"I’ve already instructed everyone in Shen Mansion not to discuss this matter, just worried it would scare Qingqing."
Upon hearing his father ntion Qingqing, Shen Yuan’s eyes were full of endless tenderness.
He had detected the pregnancy pulse of his wife, Lu Qingqing, two months ago.
"Do not worry, Father, I have not gone to the pharmacy these days precisely because of this."
"It seems I will not be able to help you at the pharmacy for a while."
"Good!"
Shen Yunwei nodded gratifiedly.
It was truly a great blessing for their Shen Family that his son could marry a wise and intelligent wife like Lu Qingqing.
Since his son Shen Yuan married Lu Qingqing, his once carefree nature had beco increasingly mature and steady, showing the traits of a head of the family.
"Yuan’Er, you need not worry for . My body is still quite robust, after all, I am a Martial Artist of the Bone Marrow Refining Realm."
"Take this ti to accompany Qingqing and practice martial arts well."
Shen Yunwei changed the topic, ntioning Qingqing’s family, the Lu Family Pharmacy in Qingyun County.
"When Qingqing gives birth, rember to send soone to Qingyun County to inform Qingqing’s family!"
"Yes, Father, I will keep it in mind."
Shen Yuan recalled Qingqing’s family, imdiately thinking of that familiar figure.
He was the man Shen Yuan admired most in his life besides his own father.
"Xuan, he would surely be very happy upon hearing this news."
Tap, tap, tap!
Outside Shen Mansion’s hall door, rapid footsteps sounded, followed by a servant running in, panting heavily.
"Master, eldest young master, soone outside claims to be the young lady’s eldest brother."
"What did you say!"
Before the servant finished speaking, Shen Yuan stood up instantly, quickly ca to the servant, with excitent on his face.
"Young Master, that person’s na is Lu Xuan!"
The servant, seeing his young master’s exaggerated expression, quickly finished his sentence.
