Chapter 256 Do You Really Think No One Can Take You In?

Su Nuobai reached out to take the box handed to him by the yamen runner, opened it and saw the silver lock inside, and held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time.

The owner of Rongfa Pawn Shop looked at her and said, "Master Su, my life span is really over!"

"When did you receive this silver lock?" Su Nuobai asked.

"A man brought it here yesterday. He said he had no money to buy rice, so he brought this silver lock to pawn. I felt sorry for him, so I gave him a few more cents." The shopkeeper regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Su Nuobai just squeezed it lightly, and the silver lock in her hand shattered into powder.

The debris that should have been silver was actually as black as ink, which was creepy to look at.

As the child was crushed, his miserable cries were heard, giving goosebumps to the people around him.

"You won't get back the life you lost yesterday, but you'll have to get back the remaining six days."

The shopkeeper thanked him quickly and took out some silver from his sleeve and handed it to Su Nuobai: "Thank you, Master Su."

Feng Zhi didn't bother to be polite and just reached out to take it.

The shopkeeper took out some silver and handed it to Uncle Rong: "Uncle Rong, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that I had lost seven days of my life for no reason. Please accept this thank you gift."

Uncle Rong was a little unsure whether he should accept the money. He came here today for his own benefit, but he didn't expect that he accidentally helped the owner of Rongfa Pawn Shop.

"Just accept it! You've done a good thing after all." Su Nuobai said.

"Then I'll accept it." Seeing Su Nuobai speak, Rong Bo accepted the shopkeeper's thank-you gift.

After the two left, many people were still discussing: "I don't know whether it is right or wrong to do this for a child."

"It's pitiful how pitiful the parents are. Using someone else's life to prolong their own child's life is wrong in the first place!"

Su Nuobai was waiting for the next customer to arrive when he received a message from Lu Heyu.

"I have a case here and I'd like you to help me."

"I'll go there now." Su Nuobai said and asked Feng Zhi to pack up.

Uncle Jia watched her packing up her things without reacting: "You don't count today!"

"I have something to deal with. I'll come over after I'm done. It's still early." Su Nuobai said and walked towards the Ministry of Justice.

"Hey! I don't know if there will be any more stories to listen to today. Now if I don't listen to Master Su's fortune-telling every day, I always feel like something is missing in my life!"

The onlookers were all very depressed.

Su Nuobai went to the Ministry of Ghostly Affairs after arriving at the Ministry of Justice. Lu Heyu, Qi Yu and the others had already arrived. "What case?"

Lu Heyu handed her a file: "This file has just been delivered. It's quite a long way away, so it must have happened some time ago."

"Lord Qi and I both thought it was quite strange after taking a look at it, so we wanted to show you."

Su Nuobai took the file and started looking through it.

It was an antique mirror, and all the buyers had their eyes gouged out and died at home. It looked similar to the previous painting.

"Did all these people die in the end?"

"Yeah. They all died in the end." Lu Heyu nodded and said, "I thought it was a serial murder case before. The local authorities investigated for a long time but couldn't find any clues."

"Later, this ancient mirror was sent to the yamen as evidence, and something happened to the yamen runner guarding it that night."

"A colleague who was on duty far away happened to see it. He said that the ancient mirror flew out and reflected his face. When the mirror disappeared, the man's eyeballs were gone and he was dead."

"Now no one dares to go to the room where the evidence is kept, for fear that they will be the next to die. I also asked Master Liaokong and the others, but they are not nearby; it's quite far away."

"You are the only one who can go and see what's going on."

Su Nuobai nodded: "Then I'll go there, it's a good thing to earn merit."

She stood up, opened the Ghost Gate, and took Feng Zhi and a few others directly to the county where the crime occurred via the ghost path.

This place is located in a border county town with a large population coming and going, and there are also many merchants from neighboring countries doing business.

Xiao Jiang and Mo Bao were quite curious and kept looking around along the way.

"Fengzhi, take them shopping. If you find anything new and interesting, remember to buy some for my mother and my family."

Seeing that they were interested, Su Nuobai simply stopped them and went to the yamen alone.

The bailiffs at the yamen gate all looked unhappy, with big dark circles under their eyes.

"When do you think the people from Shengjing City will arrive?"

"Who knows, if this person doesn't come soon, I feel like my life is almost over."

"Old Li and the county magistrate resigned yesterday."

The two of them yawned as they talked. When they saw her, their reactions were a little slower than usual: "Who is it?"

Su Nuobai saw that their breathing was unstable, so he casually helped them clean up and handed the badges to the two of them.

"The Gui tribe in Shengjing City?" When the yamen runner saw the token, his voice trembled with excitement.

"Yes." Su Nuobai had just finished speaking when he saw two yamen runners running towards the yamen with joy.

As he ran, he shouted, "Sir, people are coming from Shengjing City. We are saved."

Su Nuobai has a head full of black lines, is it really that exaggerated?

The Wuzhou County Magistrate hurried out: "Where are the people? Where is the gentleman from Shengjing City?"

Su Nuobai looked at his unshaven beard and the official uniform that once fitted him now looked a little baggy: "Here."

"Ah! Why is it such a young woman?" Kui Hongzhen looked at her in surprise.

Su Nuobai patted his shoulder: "Don't worry about whether it's a man or a woman, as long as I can help you solve the problem."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and took the badge from his hand: "Where is that ancient mirror?"

Kui Hongzhen hurriedly chased after her and led the way for her, but when they reached the gate of a small courtyard, he said he didn't dare to go in no matter what.

He pointed to a room and said, "In that room."

In fact, Su Nuobai already knew where the ancient mirror was without them leading the way. The whole room was shrouded in waves of black evil aura.

There was also a hint of red light in this evil aura, which looked very strange.

As she approached the room, before her fingers even touched the door, the ancient mirror flew out of the room and floated in front of her.

When Kui Hongzhen saw the situation, he wailed in his heart: It's over, it's over, it seems that even the Gui tribe in Shengjing City can't subdue this evil creature.

"Sir, this girl won't die, right?" The yamen runners nervously grabbed each other's arms.

Su Nuobai looked at Gu Jing who dared to brandish a sword in front of her, and a smile appeared on her face.

He grabbed the mirror and threw it to the ground, and out of satisfaction he stepped on it a few times.

The entire ancient mirror was deformed by her destruction, and it was difficult for it to fly. It could only make "clang clang" sounds on the ground.

She stepped on Gu Jing and said, "You really think no one can take you in."

She formed seals with her hands, and a light blue sword appeared in her hand, stabbing directly at the ancient mirror under her feet.
