Hearing Si Jinxing's call to stop, Qi Moli immediately protected her behind him and said:
"If you don't want to drink it, then don't drink it. You shouldn't drink this stuff in the first place!
This king wants to see what this old Taoist can do to you!"
Si Jinxing had a smile on her face. Did this guy think she had changed her mind?
She tugged at his fingers and said:
"No, I want him to sign a document in black and white. If anything goes wrong, the consequences will be borne by him."
When Qi Moli heard this, he saw that the timidity on the little girl's face had disappeared!
At this moment, the girl was blinking her big eyes with distinct black and white, as if she was waiting to see a good show!
He understood in his heart that it seemed that this girl had a plan to deal with it.
Well, as long as she is happy, let her do whatever she wants!
He summoned his inner strength and shouted to the people thronging the streets:
"If the Princess of Anping proves that she is not a demon, anyone who dares to spread such rumors in the future will not be able to blame me for being blind!
Perhaps it's because I've recently been engaged to the County Lady that I've calmed down, and you've forgotten my original nature?"
Seeing that Qi Moli couldn't stop the child, Si Junshan couldn't help but glare at him. What's the use of him!
He also swept his eyes over the common people. He had been an official for twenty years just to protect these people!
But today, they surrounded their house and wanted to kill their daughter!
What a joke!
He shouted angrily:
“During the Huaibei flood, some people took advantage of it to harm my daughter. However, I, remembering the emperor’s grace, did not draw my sword against you.
Today, my sword is unsheathed. If anyone says that I do not care about the people, you can go and beat the drum to report me!
I have been an official for twenty years. Even if I were to give up being a general, there are still many brave and talented generals in Longyin!
If anyone dares to throw dirty water on my daughter again in the future, I will fight you to the death!"
As Si Jinxing listened to what Qi Moli and Si Junshan said, she felt a warmth rising in her heart.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips. Is this what it feels like to have someone behind you?
At this time, the prefect of Jingzhao, Zhu Jingchuan, had arrived with officers and soldiers.
After understanding the cause of the matter, he immediately followed the instructions of the Anping County Lord and wrote three voluntary documents on the spot:
Today is the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month in the 28th year of Chongde.
In order to prove themselves, Anping County Chief Si Jinxing and Taoist Donghua Xuanling voluntarily drank the talisman water brought by Taoist Xuanling.
If you experience any discomfort after drinking, you will be responsible for the consequences.
Moreover, if the Princess of Anping drank the talisman water and nothing unusual happened, then the Xuanling clan took the lead in causing trouble and falsely accused the officials and their relatives, and they should be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!
If anyone makes such a random fabrication again in the future, no matter how many people there are, they will all be taken to the Southern Prison of Jingzhao Prefecture and await punishment!
The last two sentences were naturally spoken to the onlookers.
Zhu Jingchuan is also very troubled by these people. Wouldn't it be nice to use this free time to play with the children at home and spend time with his wife?
Why do you have to go out on the street to cause trouble?
When Taoist Xuanling heard that he might be beaten with a stick twenty times, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Naturally, this worry soon disappeared.
Who is he?
Donghua Xuanling!
He is very confident in his own talisman water. Whoever he says is a demon is it!
After Taoist Xuanling pressed his fingerprints and signed his name, he looked up in the direction of the Princess of Anping County.
The man said that the Anping County Magistrate was very strict in his work and that we should proceed with caution.
Seeing it today, I can see that this person has indeed thought it through. Not only did he ask the prefect of Jingzhao to certify and sign a written document, he even considered the punishment by caning.
It's just a pity that she is just a young girl and is still a little too young to fight with him!
Soon, Si Jinxing also signed and pressed his fingerprints!
She picked up the talisman water near her side and said to the mysterious spirit, "Master, please!"
Xuan Ling tilted his neck back and drank the black talisman water in one gulp, then turned the bowl upside down and shook it twice.
Si Jinxing did not hesitate either. He picked up the bowl and brought it close to his mouth.
Not to be outdone, she turned the bowl upside down and shook it twice.
Xuan Ling was worried, so he walked forward and looked at the bowl.
He also specifically asked the lord of Jingzhao Prefecture for permission and randomly picked a young woman from the people to check Si Jinxing's sleeves.
Si Jinxing did not make things difficult for the woman and stretched out her hand for her to see.
The woman was also honest and said to Zhu Jingchuan, "Sir, the county lady's sleeves are dry, there are no water stains."
When Xuan Ling saw this, he couldn't help but smile as if his evil plan had succeeded.
As long as she drank the magic water, within a cup of tea, her eyes would become wide open, her mouth would foam, and her body would twitch...
The people sat and waited, but there was no sign of anything unusual happening to Princess Anping, she was still as beautiful and graceful as ever!
Xuan Ling calculated the time and it was time for the talisman water to take effect. Why did the woman have no reaction at all?
He couldn't help but feel a little flustered. Could it be that he didn't give enough medicine?
At this moment, he trembled violently and staggered back a few steps.
Then, he collapsed to the ground, his face turning ashen, his eyes widening, and he struggled to stretch out his hand, pointing in the direction of Si Jinxing...
Seeing this, the onlookers were so scared that they retreated away!
What is happening?
Isn't it because the county lady is a witch that she has this reaction?
Now, this Taoist Priest Xuanling has become so strange.
Could it be... Could it be that Xuan Ling is the real monster?
He is actually a demon crying out to catch a demon?!
As they thought about this, their fear grew even stronger, and they all retreated, shouting.
The people outside couldn't see what was ahead, so naturally they didn't retreat.
Finally, the crowds gathered, and there was inevitably another round of crying, shouting, and cursing...
Qi Moli had been observing Si Jinxing carefully, and only felt relieved when he saw that her face was rosy and her expression was normal.
It was only at this moment that he realized that the demon's reaction was not a demon at all, but it was obvious that the water was poisoned!
Someone is doing bad things in secret again!
His eyes were like ice, and he said:
"Investigate this person. When did he enter the capital? Who did he come into contact with? Find out everything for me!"
Mo Yun immediately agreed and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Zhu Jingchuan had some guesses in his mind.
He also saw that the people were frightened by the mysterious spirit's appearance and were crowding back, so he immediately sent out officers and soldiers to disperse the crowd.
When the crowd quieted down a bit, he shouted, "You all saw what happened today.
This Xuan Ling deliberately framed the Princess of Anping County. You guys heard it from others and spread false information. You should be thrown into jail!
Considering that the county lady pleaded for you, I will let you go for now.
But remember, if it happens again, I will not let you off lightly!"
As soon as he said this, the people who had already been frightened out of their wits immediately knelt on the ground, apologizing and thanking him!
They are really scared this time!
The county lady is not a demon, but they were bewitched just now. They kept shouting for fighting and killing, and they really don't care about their lives!
Soon, the streets were empty.
Zhu Jingchuan said to Prince Mo Ying, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this man is being instructed by someone."
