Chapter 112: Platitudes
She had kept this a secret very well, so how could the person in front of her have known?
Fang Yushu looked terrified and somewhat flustered. Zhao Yuliang's body was buried in the vegetable garden, and it was hard to say what the girl in front of her might have seen in the vegetable garden.
But how did she discover those two children?
She had already hidden it very well.
"What nonsense are you spouting, young lady? Those two children went to their grandparents' house." Fang Yushu's eyes flickered, and her index finger unconsciously dug into her palm.
Seeing that she still wouldn't tell the truth, Jingwu immediately recited a spell, causing the two souls following behind her to appear.
"Look back."
Fang Yushu almost fainted from fright when she turned around.
Two faces, one large and one small, were right in front of her, their faces ashen, their lips pale, utterly lifeless.
"Mother, I'm scared. There are rats underground. I don't want to stay underground."
The girl, who looked about six or seven years old, spoke first, her resentful eyes fixed on the woman on the ground.
Her hair was a mess, there were several scratches on her face, and her fingernails were full of dirt.
The boy, who looked to be about ten years old, stared at her with a resentful gaze, without saying a word.
“Say what you just said again in front of them.” Jing Wu looked at the woman who was terrified and at a loss for what to do, his face cold.
Fang Yushu dared not say anything more at this moment, her lips trembling with fear, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
After a long while, she trembled as she tried to touch the faces of the two children in front of her.
She didn't want to kill them, but the two children saw the remains in the vegetable garden and said they were going to report it to the police.
She couldn't stop them, but fearing being imprisoned by the authorities, she poisoned both children and buried them in the cellar.
Fang Yushu knelt on the ground and moved forward step by step, tears streaming down her face and falling to the ground.
"Mother, I didn't want to. Please don't blame me. I really didn't want to. Please forgive me for the sake of the fact that I gave birth to you."
The girl looked bewildered, tilting her head as if trying to figure out what those words meant.
The boy understood, and his eyes were filled with resentment.
Fang Yushu met her son's eyes and her heart trembled.
"Don't look at me like that. I really had no choice. Please let me go and let me reincarnate."
The two children remained silent, but their resentment grew stronger.
Jingwu glanced at them, quickly recited a calming mantra, and then said, "They were killed by your own mother, and they are full of resentment. They will not be reincarnated unless they fulfill their obsessions."
"Obsession? What obsession?"
Jingwu's gaze fell on her, the meaning of which was self-evident.
"You mean, they want me dead?" Fang Yushu became agitated upon hearing this, her face instantly turning bright red. "Why should I? I gave them my life, I gave them a life, and now I'm taking their lives back, what's wrong with that?"
Jingwu was speechless upon hearing this and didn't reply. The next second, he heard the person in front of him speak again.
She knelt down in front of her again with a thud, clutching her own legs and pleading desperately, "Girl, you know so much, you're a sorcerer, aren't you? I'll give you money, I'll give you whatever reward you want, as long as you send them away, or beat them to a pulp!"
Jingwu sneered inwardly, silently moving her leg away. Her eyes turned cold, and she gradually lost patience.
"Answer a few questions for me first."
"Go ahead and ask."
Why did you kill your two children?
Fang Yushu frowned. Although she didn't know why the person in front of her was asking this question, she answered truthfully in order to get rid of the three ghosts in the room.
"Because they found Zhao Yuliang's body in the vegetable garden, I had no choice, so I..."
"Where did you bury their bodies?" Jingwu interrupted, not wanting to listen to her nonsense any longer.
"Bury it, bury it in the inn's cellar."
After asking these two questions, Jingwu stood up, walked to the wall, and knocked on it.
A short while later, a large group of people rushed into the room.
Leading the group were the magistrates of Yuehuai and Muyun counties. Zhao Family Village was under the jurisdiction of Muyun County, so the magistrate of Muyun County, Jiang Ning, was the one who came.
Fang Yushu immediately noticed the village chief of Zhao Family Village behind the magistrate and panicked instantly. Not knowing how much the village chief had heard, she stood up and tentatively asked.
"Village chief, what are you doing here?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that a murderer had appeared in our village and buried the bodies here. Three lives lost! Fang Yushu!" The village chief was furious and stomped his feet.
With three lives lost in the village, he'd be torn to pieces by the county magistrate!
"Those were your own children! How could you be so heartless as to kill them?!"
Fang Yushu felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing the village chief's words.
They all heard it, which means the county magistrate heard it too!
It's over, it's completely over. I'm definitely going to be beheaded this time.
wrong!
Fang Yushu realized that Jing Wu's words earlier were just an attempt to trick her into revealing information.
She turned around abruptly and glared fiercely at the girl sitting in the chair.
Jingwu noticed her gaze, put down his teacup, and silently recited the Eye-Covering Mantra.
Immediately, a golden light entered the woman's body and struck her eyes directly.
In an instant, Fang Yushu felt a black fog before her eyes, and she could see nothing at all.
She frantically groped around, repeatedly shouting, "I can't see anything! I can't see anything at all!"
The magistrate inside the room couldn't help but frown. He subconsciously assumed she was faking madness and immediately waved his hand, ordering his men to arrest her.
"I really can't see anymore, no, don't arrest me, I didn't do it!" Fang Yushu's voice grew fainter and fainter until no sound could be heard at all.
Seeing that there was nothing else going on, the magistrate immediately nodded to the two men.
"Thank you both. Once this case is closed, I will definitely host a banquet for you two distinguished guests at my home."
Yue Huai knew this was just a polite remark, so he nodded in agreement.
After all the outsiders had left and only the two of them remained in the house, he put all three ghosts inside into his Qiankun bag.
Then, looking at the person in front of him, he asked, "Did you use the Blinding Curse?"
"Yes, it's just that she won't be able to see anything for two days." Jingwu poured himself another cup of tea and sipped it slowly.
Upon hearing this, Yue Huai smiled and sat down: "It's good that you thought of this in advance and had the magistrate come to listen in. It can be considered as helping the magistrate solve a major case."
He poured himself a cup of tea very consciously, and after taking a sip, he almost couldn't keep his composure.
Why does this tea taste like this? He remembered that they only brought Biluochun tea with them when they came out. Could this be the tea from the inn?
He immediately put down his teacup and stopped drinking.
This tea is really strange...
"I have to thank you for inviting the magistrate; otherwise, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."
