Chapter 779: Three seven eight: Peerless mean wife! Save and awaken Tuli Yang!_2

Not only that, but Miss Turing Duo also swore in front of the spiritual master at the Dragon Temple that she absolutely recognized the voice and appearance of the assassin leader—it was Fen Mo, it had to be Fen Mo.

Then, the Medical Shaman of the Dragon Temple personally dissected the bodies for examination.

It was concluded from the fatal arrow wounds on the bodies of the Tuli Family samurai that the perpetrator was a dragon archer, and not just any dragon archer, but one with a divine archery talent.

Why say so?

An ordinary dragon archer targets the head, as the overflow of spiritual power is most prominent there, making it the easiest to aim for.

However, a dragon archer with divine archery talent shoots by feel, and their favorite target is the heart.

All of these victims were shot in the heart, instantly killed.

And what was terrifying was that each arrow had pierced right through the center of the heart—an act only possible for one with divine archery talent.

Then, the arrows were dug out and weighed—exactly seven taels, three qian, and two! Each arrow weighed seven taels, three qian, two. Despite the arrows’ appearance not matching the everyday arrows used by Fen Mo, the weight and length were identical.

Every archer is extremely demanding about the weight of their arrows, and because of his divine archery talent, Fen Mo’s arrows are a bit lighter than those of other dragon archers.

The surviving samurai of the Tuli Family who escorted Miss Turing Duo back all testified, witnessing firsthand that the leading assassin fired several volleys of nineteen Chain Arrows.

In just three days, the Dragon Temple and the Kingdom’s Judicial Department had accumulated more than two hundred pages of evidence.

With eyewitnesses and physical evidence, there were at least dozens of witnesses and more than ten pieces of physical evidence.

There were also signatures from over twelve Medical Daoist Monks and fifteen spiritual masters, ensuring the authenticity and authority of this evidence.

Ironclad evidence! Absolute ironclad evidence! The assassin who murdered Tuli Yang was none other than Suo Lun’s confidant, Fen Mo!

Then, the Zhi Li Sect dispatched hundreds of messengers, hundreds of carrier eagles, to spread the truth about Suo Lun’s assassination of Tuli Yang throughout every province of the Rage Wave Kingdom, every lord’s domain, every county.

Not only that, the Department of Punishments deployed a team of over three thousand people to arrest the assassin Fen Mo in Tianshui City!

...

After receiving the truth about Suo Lun’s assassination of Tuli Yang, all lords and nobles truly shared a common hatred and were filled with indescribable anger.

This assassination stirred up towering waves!

Suo Lun had actually dared to assassinate a lord of the kingdom, completely overturning a century’s worth of political tradition.

Of course, assassinating a lord wasn’t something remarkable—Zhi Li had assassinated Suo Lun more than once or twice. However, Zhi Li and Suo Lun had a direct confrontational relationship, whereas Tuli Yang had merely chosen to pledge loyalty to Zhi Li.

If the lords were to be assassinated for their political allegiance, would it not lead to utter chaos throughout the land?

For if Suo Lun could kill Tuli Yang today, he could kill other lords in the future.

In such a case, every lord would be in personal danger, their lives unprotected.

The reason for Tuli Yang’s assassination by Suo Lun was not that he verbally attacked Suo Lun, but because he led the boycott against Suo Lun’s economy.

Cutting off someone’s livelihood is like murdering their parents, and that is what provoked Suo Lun to kill in vengeance.

However, it wasn’t just Tuli Yang who boycotted Suo Lun’s economy—other lords present had done the same.

If Suo Lun intended to coerce the lords into submission through terrifying assassinations, how terrifying would that be?

Because it concerned their very lives and fortunes, all the lords and high-ranking nobles were filled with anger, stating that Suo Lun’s actions had completely trampled upon the kingdom’s bottom line and he must therefore be severely punished.

...

On the fourth day, the citizens of Wangcheng Zidu witnessed another unprecedented and mournful spectacle.

A procession clad entirely in white carried over two hundred coffins through the streets.

Leading them was Miss Turing Duo, clad in white mourning garments for Tuli Yang.

The two hundred surviving samurai of the Tuli Family were also dressed in white robes, mourning for Tuli Yang and their deceased brothers. Each samurai carried a coffin on their shoulder, inside of which lay the body of a fallen Tuli Family samurai.

This time, Miss Turing Duo did not wear a veil but revealed her face.

Yet her face was no longer beautiful, marred by five deep wounds that completely destroyed her loveliness.

"I have disfigured myself, vowing never to remarry in order to preserve my chastity," she declared, captivating every onlooker and conquering the hearts of all surviving Tuli Family samurai.

Her face had actually been scratched and disfigured by Tuli Yang when he discovered her infidelity, yet now she claimed it was self-inflicted to maintain chastity.

However, her actions indeed etched her name into the memory of the entire city.

The looks of sarcasm and mockery turned into admiration and reverence.

Some men even began to call her a holy woman!

With over two hundred samurai carrying more than two hundred coffins. Miss Turing Duo held a blood-letter in her hand and knelt every nine steps, crying out, "I plead with the royal family to punish Suo Lun and to seek justice for my husband Tuli Yang!"

The distance from Duke Turing’s Mansion to the royal palace was several kilometers.

Thus, Miss Turing Duo made her way, kneeling every nine steps in the presence of all Wangcheng’s citizens, with each cry.

"I beg the royal family to punish Suo Lun and avenge my husband Tuli Yang!"

After traveling those kilometers, her forehead was bloodied from kneeling, her knees’ trousers worn through to the skin.

The citizens of Wangcheng, men and women, young and old, noble and commoner alike, could not help but shed tears upon seeing the sight.

In just half an hour, thousands upon thousands of people spontaneously followed behind Miss Turing Duo to petition the royal family.
