As she finished speaking.
The talisman flew away at an extremely fast speed and went straight into the man's forehead.
The man felt a chill between his brows and screamed in fright.
What did you do to me?
"Are you going to suck me dry like a corpse?"
"Help me, please help me!"
He clutched his neck, baring his teeth and claws as he glared at the people around him.
The surrounding villagers were so frightened that they all scattered.
The man in the headscarf was terrified. He knelt down with a thud and scratched his forehead with a ferocious expression.
It looks like they're really possessed.
Jiang Qingwan remained silent.
"You think you have the guts to stir up trouble? That's just a truth talisman; it won't hurt you in the slightest."
Upon hearing this, the man in the headscarf was immediately embarrassed and felt ashamed.
I felt that no more bugs were burrowing into my body, and I was no longer in pain.
His disheveled appearance, with tears and snot streaming down his face, made everyone around him cover their mouths and laugh.
The man in the headscarf stood up angrily.
"What kind of bullshit talisman is this? I don't believe you can know what I'm thinking, or that you've been paid to spread the news in various villages?"
The woman who received the talisman first asked, "Then you're saying this plague was caused by the Ninth Prince's wife?"
The man in the headscarf hadn't realized his problem.
All they wanted was to save face.
He put his hands on his hips smugly. "This is what the woman who gave me the money told me. According to her, the Ninth Princess herself stirred up trouble by discovering that someone in Xiahe Village had contracted the plague and then revealing it. Doesn't that give others an opportunity to take advantage of the situation? Why not seize the chance to smear her!"
The crowd erupted in uproar.
The man in the headscarf was still rambling on.
"That woman said that if I could get the Ninth Prince's Consort attacked by the mob, she would give me another ten taels of silver. And once someone dies in Xiahe Village, I can spread the word again and get another ten taels!"
Jiang Qingwan snapped her fingers together.
The man in the headscarf suddenly came to his senses.
She immediately covered her mouth.
"What...what did I say?"
Several people in the village felt ashamed for him.
"Li Shu, how could you do such a thing? Aren't you throwing our village into a fire pit?"
"You bastard, you reaped the benefits while harming the people of your own village. Do you have any conscience at all?"
The village chief was so angry that he kicked him in the butt.
"Who is that woman? Tell the Ninth Princess immediately, or I will drive you out of the village on behalf of the ancestors of Li Family Village."
Seeing that his scheme had been exposed, Li Shu dared not provoke the wrath of the masses.
I have no choice but to tell the truth.
"I don't know who that woman is, but judging from her clothes, she is obviously the wife of a high-ranking official. We arranged to meet today to talk about the trouble."
The village chief quickly cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Jiang Qingwan.
"Ninth Princess Consort, why don't you send soldiers to follow them and catch them in the act?"
Zheng Qing was about to send someone.
Jiang Qingwan said, "No need."
He sat up and looked up at Li Shu.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you earlier, the truth talisman will automatically dispel itself once you see the person for whom you made up a lie. Even if I don't send anyone with you, you still have to go there."
Upon hearing this, Li Shu immediately decided not to report it to the authorities.
I immediately felt relieved.
To show his commitment, he rolled up his sleeves and patted his chest, making a solemn promise.
"Princess Ninth Prince, don't worry, I'll go right now. When I see that woman, I'll definitely give her a good scolding to vent my anger."
Jiang Qingwan smiled faintly.
His gaze swept across the crowd.
"Once you've received the talismans, head back as soon as possible. Although you haven't been infected yet, you should still take precautions to prevent the plague from spreading."
Everyone immediately realized that this made sense.
After expressing their deepest gratitude, they all dispersed.
Li Shu also entered the city in a menacing manner.
Qinghui said, "Your Highness, are you really not going to investigate who is behind this?"
Jiang Qingwan straightened her sleeves.
"No rush, dealing with the matters in Xiahe Village is more important. As for that person... she will come to me herself."
That talisman was not a simple mantra talisman.
...
The bustling and chaotic District 16.
Everywhere you look, you hear vendors hawking their wares.
Su Yulan sat in a secluded teahouse, sipping tea with a beaming smile.
Chunmei had just poured her a glass when she caught a glimpse of a figure appearing at the street corner out of the corner of her eye.
"Princess, that person has arrived."
Su Yulan laughed and said, "By now, the people from those villages should have already entered the city. Once they report the case to the Jingzhao Prefecture and the authorities verify the matter, Jiang Qingwan will become a rat crossing the street, hated by everyone."
Li Shu quickly jogged to the tea stall.
Before they could even get close, Chunmei raised her hand and blocked them a few steps away.
"You stand there and say it, don't come any closer."
Su Yulan also looked disgusted and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
"Have you finished the task I assigned you?"
Li Shu was furious when he saw their expressions.
He's not sick, why is he so afraid?
They're so wicked, always causing trouble but they're such cowards.
Now that we've met, the incantation can be considered dispelled.
His money can't be wasted.
He immediately moved forward a little.
"Don't worry, I've called people from all eight nearby villages. It's quite lively. Would you like to go and take a look?"
Fearing she would catch a disease, Su Yulan waved her hand, signaling Chunmei to throw the silver over.
"No need to look anymore. I will contact you again once the authorities send word."
Li Shu took the silver and happily swayed it.
He guessed that the woman wouldn't dare to look.
Free money is free money, why not take it?
Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly felt a dry, itchy sensation in my throat.
The feeling came on overwhelmingly, and he subconsciously tried to swallow to suppress it, but he couldn't.
