Chapter 219 We Can’t Persuade the Damned Ghost
"ah!!"
When Qingshan saw the appearance of the first corpse clearly, he fell to the ground in fright.
The person was wearing fancy clothes and was probably the concubine of County Magistrate Zhou. Her face had been chopped beyond recognition.
His body was covered in dried blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Jiang Wan frowned subconsciously, and Song Jiuyuan handed her a square handkerchief with understanding.
"Wanwan, cover your mouth and nose."
"Um."
Jiang Wan tied a scarf around her face to cover her mouth and nose, and Song Jiuyuan did the same.
There were more than thirty bodies neatly arranged in the charity cemetery, the oldest of which was Mrs. Zhou, who was eighty years old.
Jiang Wan was heartbroken when she saw the children as young as a few years old. She still could not accept the cruelty of this era.
"Song Jiuyuan, if they were not silenced, what would you do?"
"I will detain County Magistrate Zhou. The specific interrogation is the court's business."
Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys once is enough, and the rest of the infamy should be given to the father and son.
"oh."
Jiang Wan felt depressed. She took a few more steps and her eyes fell on a young child.
"For the sins committed by County Magistrate Zhou, even if his entire clan is not executed, he will at least be exiled."
Song Jiuyuan opened his mouth slowly, as if stating an objective fact.
The people of Kyushu were exiled and sent to the northernmost part of Kyushu to do hard labor.
Jiang Wan was speechless for a moment, and suddenly the sound of vomiting was heard behind her.
It turned out that Qingshan couldn't help vomiting when he saw the corpses.
"Get out and vomit!"
Song Jiuyuan frowned in disdain, gently took Jiang Wan's hand, and led her a few steps inside.
His slightly calloused hand fell on her soft fingertips. With a buzzing sound, Jiang Wan felt her mind go blank.
She was being led by Song Jiuyuan like a puppet, and her ears were red as blood.
Jiang Wan gently pressed her chest with her other hand, fearing that she would not be able to calm the running deer.
Fortunately, the candlelight was not very bright at night, and Song Jiuyuan did not notice her subtle movements.
The two of them quickly walked to the innermost room, and Jiang Wan immediately saw County Magistrate Zhou lying there.
The man who had just been seen had blood all over his face and seemed to have been stabbed several times.
The most terrifying thing was that there seemed to be a knife stuck in his heart. It didn't look deep, but he was covered in blood.
"If he hadn't run, he wouldn't have died so quickly."
Song Jiuyuan couldn't help but shake his head, even though Qucheng was full of spies.
But under his nose, those people were somewhat fearful.
"He is seeking death himself. We can't persuade a damned ghost."
Jiang Wan shook her head regretfully and turned to look at the silent Song Jiuyuan.
“Is there anything else on the scene?”
"Song Yi said that everything that County Magistrate Zhou brought with him was gone, including the daily necessities of the women.
Besides the body, everything else at the scene was cleaned up very well.”
Song Jiuyuan's words shocked Jiang Wan. It seemed that the other party was looking for something.
Otherwise, even daily necessities would not be taken away.
Could it be...
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan looked at each other and thought of the account book they found in the secret room today.
"That's it."
Song Jiuyuan was almost certain that the other party was looking for that account book.
Time was running out, so he only glanced through it at that time. It seemed that he would have to study it carefully after returning.
"Okay, let's go back."
Jiang Wan sighed. Since the place was cleaned up so thoroughly, it would probably be difficult for them to find other clues.
Just after taking a step, Jiang Wan felt someone tugging at her dress.
She subconsciously thought that something had accidentally caught on her clothes.
But when she turned her head, she was almost scared to death.
County Magistrate Zhou's little finger was seen hanging down to one side, gently hooking the corner of her clothes.
When Jiang Wan looked over, she found that County Magistrate Zhou's eyelids were trembling slightly.
It was a very slight tremor, and if Jiang Wan didn't have good eyesight, she would not have been able to see it.
"Wanwan, what's wrong?"
Song Jiuyuan took a step forward and found that Jiang Wan inexplicably let go of his hand, so he subconsciously moved closer to her.
At this time, Jiang Wan, who had recovered, had her fingertips on County Magistrate Zhou's pulse.
Then a hint of shock appeared in her beautiful eyes, and she quickly tore off County Magistrate Zhou's coat.
Song Jiuyuan was confused by her rough actions, "Wanwan, you..."
"He's not dead yet, he's still breathing!"
Jiang Wan deftly took out a few silver needles from the silver needle bag on her back and started moving quickly.
Qingshan, who had just come back from vomiting, found it unbelievable when he heard this.
"Princess, it has been an hour since he was attacked. How could he still be alive?"
"His heart is different from that of ordinary people. It is on the right side."
Jiang Wan explained as she performed the movements with her hands, and the silver needles were inserted one by one.
Song Jiuyuan and Qingshan were very surprised, but they did not dare to interrupt her.
Soon, County Magistrate Zhou's body was covered with silver needles. Song Jiuyuan gently wiped the sweat from Jiang Wan's forehead with a handkerchief.
"Wanwan, even if that's the case, he won't survive after losing so much blood."
"I know."
Jiang Wan didn't stop, but she still wanted to give it a try, even if it was just to make County Magistrate Zhou sober for a short time.
Then he might also be able to provide them with something beneficial.
Seeing her busy and sweating, Song Jiuyuan served her with concern.
After a few more breaths, Jiang Wan finally stopped, took the handkerchief from Song Jiuyuan's hand and said:
"If he wakes up later, ask him anything you want to know. He has lost too much blood and won't last long."
Even if he wakes up, it will only be a last burst of light.
Although Jiang Wan is an excellent doctor, he is not a god and cannot save a person who is completely exhausted.
"good."
Song Jiuyuan nodded slightly, thinking quickly, but Qingshan on the side was a little unconvinced.
The princess’ medical skills are great, but this is not an ordinary person, he is already dead.
But he didn't dare say it out loud, for fear of saddening the prince and princess. People always have to have some hope.
The three of them had complicated thoughts. After a few breaths, just when Song Jiuyuan felt that Jiang Wan might have made a mistake.
County Magistrate Zhou's eyelids trembled slightly again, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
He was stunned at first, then his eyes fell on Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan.
Song Jiuyuan remembered Jiang Wan's words and said hurriedly, "Mr. Zhou, do you still remember who harmed you?
Or, who do you think sent someone to assassinate you?"
"I……"
County Magistrate Zhou's mouth was hoarse and he could not speak. He just stared at Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan felt a little scared by that strange look. She pinched a silver needle on her fingertips and said softly:
“More than 30 people in the Zhou family were killed, and your body won’t last long.
If you don't tell me, there will be no one in this world who will avenge you. Think about it carefully."
When County Magistrate Zhou heard Jiang Wan say that no one would be spared, his eyes widened with resentment, but unfortunately he couldn't say much at this moment.
He could only glare at her with his eyes wide open fiercely, scaring the people in Qingshan nearby almost dumbfounded.
This guy was actually woken up by the princess!
County Magistrate Zhou opened his mouth slightly and tried to speak. Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan quickly bent down to listen.
