Tao Rui and his friends drove straight to the hospital. Not only did Xiaoyue need a medical examination, but Tao Rui did too. He had a ten-centimeter-long wound on his arm that was still bleeding!

Although Tao Rui's injury did not reach the level of an injury identification, as long as it can be proved that the wound was caused by the peach wood sword, it is enough to prove that he was indeed injured by Aunt Long San.

The identification was very quick, and the forensic department also gave a report very quickly. So many people in the village attacked the police, and Aunt Long San's case was the most serious. She directly injured the police with a sword!

Aunt Long San was a prominent figure in the village, known for her psychic abilities. She was considered the most powerful person, living comfortably in her small second-floor apartment. But at the police station, she was nothing. After the officer sternly accused her of assault, she panicked.

"Comrade police officer, listen to me. This really isn't my fault. Let me be clear: I had no idea that man was a police officer. No one told me. I arrived later, and the moment I saw him beating someone, I had to chase him.

I thought he was bullying one of us, so of course I had to help him. But I ended up hurting him. I didn't mean to do that, I really didn't. Believe me!" Aunt Long San looked at the police officer who was taking her statement earnestly. She felt she shouldn't have been convicted.

The police officer asked coldly, "You said Tao Rui beat someone? Who did he beat?"

Aunt Long San said excitedly: "He hit our guardian deity! The whole village knows that he killed our guardian deity!"

"What's the name of the guardian deity? Where is his home? Where is his body?"

"This, this..." Aunt Long was speechless. Seeing that he was constantly recording, she said anxiously, "Don't you know about the guardian spirit? Why are you writing this on paper? This shouldn't be written. It's a powerful ghost. He was the father of our village chief. He died decades ago. About twenty years ago, when I was fortune-telling for someone, he suddenly appeared and helped me eat a little ghost. He said that he had achieved enlightenment and came to protect the village, so that no one would dare to mess with our village..."

The police officer raised his eyes, looked at her with a strange look, then lowered his eyes and continued writing, writing down everything she said.

Seeing this, Aunt Long San was startled and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

She remembered that when Tao Rui arrested her, he'd called her insane. She'd been too frightened to pay attention at the time, but now that she was thinking about it, what she was saying about ghosts and spirits—wasn't that insane? Even if the police believed her fortune-telling, the law wouldn't.

Aunt Long San fell silent, her mind a mess, and after thinking for a long time, she said, "I don't know anything. I just accidentally hurt the police officer. What responsibility do I have to bear?"

"It depends on the judge's decision. Usually it's a prison sentence of less than three years."

"... Still going to jail? He, he's fine, just a few scratches. I'll pay for his medical expenses and apologize to him. Is this negotiable?"

"Tao Rui said he won't accept mediation, and this can't be settled privately. All of you must be held legally responsible for this matter." The officer shrugged. "His opinion is important. After all, it was him who was beaten by more than a dozen of you. That's excessive."

Aunt Long San has an instinctive fear of going to jail. The most important thing is that people like her who have some supernatural powers cannot go to jail, because the police station symbolizes justice in this world. If she is sentenced and sent to jail, it means that she has violated the justice of this world, and her supernatural powers will disappear.

She's already over fifty. If she spends a few years in jail and suffers for a few years before she's released and still doesn't have her magical powers, then what's the difference between her and the old ladies in the village? She still has to rely on her skills to make money!

Aunt Long San did have some magical powers, such as seeing ghosts and calculating things, but she had only been out of the village a few times, her horizons were too narrow, and she was essentially ignorant. Tao Rui saw through this and deliberately got hurt. At this time, Aunt Long San was at a loss. To avoid going to jail, she brought up the matter of the guardian spirit and emphasized: "This is something the whole village knows, not just me."

She had a good idea. The law doesn't hold everyone responsible. She couldn't possibly be blamed for the entire village's problems, could she? Saying she was insane? But then the entire village couldn't possibly be insane, could they?

This was the best solution she could think of. After she finished taking the statement, she anxiously awaited the results. The village chief, his son, and the dozen or so farmers who had been arrested were still taking their statements. The village chief insisted, without saying anything else, that Tao Rui and his men had forced their way into the village and started the conflict. The farmers were completely unable to articulate their story, their statements incoherent, and they were quickly coaxed into confessing the entire truth.

Xiaoyue's elders were more cunning. After all, they lived in the city and had seen more. They refused to admit that they had imprisoned Xiaoyue, insisting that they were afraid that Xiaoyue would be deceived by Wu Jian, so they took her back to the countryside to hide. It was Wu Jian who had always come to their house before and scared them.

But such cases couldn't be dismissed on a single account, so the police immediately launched an investigation. They questioned Xiaoyue, the girl who had helped her escape, her friends, other villagers, and even Xiaoyue's parents' neighbors in the city. They also investigated rumors circulating about the village over the years, determining which of them were true and whether any crimes were connected to the village.

After a series of investigations, the results were horrifying.

This small, inconspicuous village, a place many people had never even heard of, was the burial site of 26 innocent victims. Ten of the victims were local girls, twelve were lured or bought from outside, and four were men who had lost their lives in the village over the years after being accidentally discovered to be amiss.

Some of these girls were forced to marry men in the village and died because they refused to obey. Some were brought here to arrange ghost marriages with dead men. The "guardian deity" had arranged five ghost marriages in total, and Xiaoyue's was the sixth and most important one.

Because the guardian spirit was becoming increasingly uncontrollable and vicious, the village chief begged Aunt Long San to send it away completely. However, she couldn't harm him. In Aunt Long San's words, the village chief would surely suffer retribution for harming his biological father, and even if he didn't, he would no longer enjoy the ancestral blessing. That's why the village chief was so furious when Tao Rui attacked the evil spirit; he knew he would no longer be blessed by his ancestors.

In such a vicious and ignorant village, with so many lives lost, a small missing case suddenly became a major case that shocked the whole country.

Of course, superstitious things cannot be spread, so they insist that these ghost-believing people are mentally ill.

The village chief and Aunt Long San were sent to a mental hospital. The place was suggested by Tao Rui. The management was very strict. Any thought of trying to make themselves more comfortable by doing some tricks was just a dream.

The village chief's son and the dozen or so farmers were each sentenced to six months in prison. Video evidence suggests that even if Tao Rui wasn't injured, they still deserved sentencing for using force, threatening, and obstructing police officers. One of them was accused of murder, specifically beating a girl who had been abducted into the village, and received the death penalty.

The rest of the village was handed over to the higher-level county government, which reprimanded them, warned them, and required them to attend weekly classes for moral and legal education.

This ignorant and united village has become a mess. All the backbones are either dead or imprisoned. The remaining people have to attend classes every week, and what they learn is completely opposite to their entire life concepts, which makes them very miserable.

But this is certainly not enough. Tao Rui said that the feng shui of their village is very bad, so of course he can't just say that.

He came here to appear in court when the case was closed, so before leaving, he went to the village and set up a formation there. This formation has no other effect, but it can make people who have done something wrong have nightmares, and have nightmares over and over again.

They are now receiving education and naturally know what they have done that is wrong. Then these past bad things will appear in their dreams, tormenting them invisibly. They will gradually start to suffer from insomnia, lack of energy, nervousness, depression, poor health, and increasingly miserable life.

But this is what they deserve. As the saying goes, if you have done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear. Who made them do such a vicious and sinful thing? Each of them is responsible for the loss of more than 20 innocent lives.

Tao Rui later went to the mental hospital and met Aunt Long San. Aunt Long San was actually a little happy that she was not sent to prison, because she thought that no matter how hard it was for her in the mental hospital, she would be able to get out one day, and then she could still rely on God to get through the day.

However, this kind of "supernatural power" is like a martial artist's ability to lose martial arts skills, or a cultivator's ability to destroy spiritual roots. Tao Rui destroyed her "supernatural power" after just one encounter. He used spiritual power, so even if the surveillance camera was recording, it wouldn't have captured anything because he was sitting across the table from her and didn't do anything.

After he left, it took Aunt Long San several hours to realize that her magical powers were gone. She could no longer see ghosts. She wanted to tell people's fortunes but her mind was blank and she had no idea how to do it!

She screamed like crazy, saying Tao Rui had hurt her and asked the doctor to bring Tao Rui back. However, in the mental hospital, this was evidence of a relapse. All she got was a tranquilizer.

The village chief didn't need to worry about him at all, he was in agony all by himself. He had gone from being a local tyrant to a prisoner, from heaven to hell, and he still firmly believed that his ancestors would no longer bless him. His faith had completely collapsed, so he was finished.

Xiaoyue has been recuperating at the Wu family. She had escaped and been caught many times before, and her body was bruised and her little finger was broken. Her family had not given her food for several days and only gave her water occasionally, preparing to offer her to the evil spirits and send her to death. This had affected her body, and she had to receive nutrient solution for a while before she recovered.

She insisted on suing her parents and grandmother, and many netizens supported her and paid attention to this case.

In the end, her parents, grandmother and younger brother were sentenced for crimes such as confinement, intentional injury and attempted murder. They were all sent to prison for multiple crimes with sentences ranging from three to ten years. They were also required to pay Xiaoyue a total of 100,000 yuan in mental compensation and medical expenses. Netizens said that this was very gratifying.

This sinful village ended with such a just ending. Wu Jian was particularly grateful to Tao Rui and invited him to be the officiant of his wedding. Tao Rui declined, but served as Wu Jian's best man and gave him a big red envelope.

When Tao Rui put on his suit and prepared to go to the wedding, Lin Yang came up to him and said, "Brother Rui, you put in a lot of effort this time. You seem to be more serious than before."

Tao Rui smiled and said, "It just so happens that you guys are not around."

Actually, Wu Jian was one of the people killed by the original owner in the original script. Although the original owner failed to save the young master of the wealthy Ye family, Wu Jian still got to know the original owner during that case. So when Wu Jian heard from his family that Xiaoyue was brought back to the village and something was wrong, he asked the original owner for help.

The original owner used his usual method to defraud Wu Jian of hundreds of thousands of yuan. Wu Jian emptied out all the money of the richest man who bought a house and got married. Who knew that the talisman and peach wood sword given by the original owner were fake. Wu Jian and Xiaoyue did not escape from the village at all. As soon as they met, they were beaten to death by the villagers!

So this time Tao Rui was helping his colleagues resolve the crisis, completing his mission, and cleaning up such a sinful place at the same time.

At the wedding, Wu Jian and Xiaoyue both had happy smiles on their faces. This crisis made their relationship even better, and they learned to cherish and live better. Everyone gave them the most sincere blessings, and the most common words were "be safe and sound."

This is undoubtedly what they want most. For the rest of their lives, as long as they are safe and sound, there will be no obstacles that they cannot overcome.

They will definitely embrace happiness.

Tao Rui leaned over to the side, watching the happy event and drinking silently. Lin Yang drifted over to his side and said with a smile, "Brother Rui, are you not used to being idle? Well, I have something to report. During the time you were away, a lot of ghosts came to register with me."

Tao Rui smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back and see what their wishes are."
