Due to several accidents, and the fact that the monks and county soldiers had not yet received orders to evacuate, there were almost no monsters and demons in Helue Town.
The place with the strongest yin energy in Helue Town is actually the Confucius Mansion.
Kong Hanan stepped into the human world and hurried to Zeng Wu's house.
The last time I met Zeng Wu was more than ten days ago.
That night, he returned to the human world from the underworld, appeared in the yamen, and had a brief meeting with Zeng Wu.
Zeng Wusheng was promoted to county lieutenant and was already very busy with official duties. Kong Hanan, in keeping with the principle that a gentleman's friendship should be as light as water, did not disturb him too much.
Kong Hanan has always kept this brother in mind. Apart from the fact that he occasionally helped Kong Hanan before, Zeng Wu is also a good man who wholeheartedly serves the people.
Although he usually uses some tricks, he never abandons his duties, whether it is the affairs of the Gu Mansion or the attack on Yinfeng Mountain.
Kong Han'an originally wanted to wait for the court to officially appoint him before finding a way to help his brother.
But I didn’t expect…
Kong Hanan stood in front of Zeng Wu's house with a gloomy face, watching Zeng Wu lying in a pool of blood. Zeng Wu's wife, children and mother were crying over his body.
The corpse still had temperature, but in the eyes of Yin and Yang, Zeng Wu's life span had been reset to zero.
"Uncle, who did it?"
Kong Hanan asked Zeng Wu's father who was standing there in a daze, speechless.
"well……"
Zeng's father sighed deeply, as if he had something to hide.
The people around were pointing and talking, and Kong Hanan had excellent hearing and heard the gossip.
"He used some trickery to make the former county lieutenant lose his soul, which is why he was beaten."
"Alas, he's a good boy, why does he have to resort to such crooked ways?"
"Power and money cost lives..."
Kong Hanan became furious.
He swept through the surrounding ghost nests, but found no trace of the former county lieutenant's ghost.
He also arranged for Li San to go and see secretly, and found that the old county lieutenant had all three souls intact and his spirit was still there.
The rumors had not yet ended, and the old county lieutenant actually dared to arrange for people to commit murder in the street.
After Zeng Wu's death, he was still framed and his innocence was exposed.
"Shut up!"
Kong Hanan turned around and shouted.
"Zeng Wu was wrongly accused."
With his cultivation, Kong Hanan shouted loudly, and the onlookers were silenced for a moment.
Zeng Wu's family members paused when they heard this and cried even louder.
Zeng's father bowed deeply to Kong Han'an.
"Young Master Kong, my son always says you are a capable person. If you have the means, please make sure to clear my son's name!"
Kong Hanan retreated and continued to speak to the onlookers, "I am Kong Hanan from Tongzhi Lane. If you believe me, come with me to the former county lieutenant's mansion, and I will expose him on the spot."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Kong Hanan had previously boosted his reputation during the Yinfeng Mountain attack, so some curious people still remembered him.
What's more, there is something exciting to watch at this moment. Some people lead the way, and some people call their friends to follow.
Walking out of the corner, Kong Hanan felt something.
Turning around, I saw Zeng Wu's father still hunched over, his shoulders shaking slightly, and he had not stood up.
This bow made Kong Hanan feel heavy in his heart.
"Sir... County Lieutenant Zeng's spirit has been taken away."
Li Mihai's voice came to my ear.
Kong Hanan's veins bulged.
Soul-binding is not a method unique to the underworld; ghost cultivators can also do it.
The former county lieutenant's surname was Peng and his name was Yu. The Peng family was also a powerful family in the area. Although their mansion was not as luxurious as the Gu family's, it also occupied a piece of land.
When the group arrived at the gate of Peng's mansion, the servants were a little panicked when they saw so many people.
Kong Hanan didn't waste any words. His aura surged and he forced the servants to retreat aside.
Li Mihai turned into a demonic wind to guide Kong Hanan, who rushed into the study and grabbed Peng Yu in his hands.
Peng Yu didn't understand what was going on, but his years of experience came into play and he immediately started acting crazy and stupid.
Just as the servants were about to step forward, a gust of evil wind blew them away.
They are just a small wealthy family. At best, they are experts in the Body Tempering Realm. How could they be a match for the Li Geng Clan? It's good enough that they didn't scare them off.
There was a commotion in the Peng family's house, and Kong Hanan had already dragged the people to the main street.
Throwing Peng Yu to the ground with a wave of his hand, Kong Hanan sneered, "Still pretending?"
Peng Yu cried out in pain, and then his eyes became dull and he looked around stupidly, even drooling.
"Let me warn you, if you tell the truth, you'll probably end up in jail at most. Otherwise, those who are working with you might kill you to silence you."
Peng Yu trembled slightly, and it was obvious that he was also afraid, but he still looked stupid and foolish.
Questioning voices were heard all around.
"Master Peng is already like this, why are you still torturing him?"
"That's right, you stood up for Zeng Wu, but you can't bully others like this."
A flash of sword light came.
"Mr. Kong, please show mercy."
Kong Hanan turned out to be the short and fat Lu Liang, and he couldn't help but frown.
"The county magistrate got the news and quickly asked us to take action. I flew here quickly and got here first. Mr. Kong, why are you so angry?"
Lu Liang asked.
Kong Hanan suppressed his anger and replied, "Brother Lu, you've arrived just in time. This man has all three souls and seven spirits, but he's feigning madness and foolishness. He's even instructing ghost cultivators to kill the Helue Town County Lieutenant, seize his soul, and slander the county lieutenant's innocence. Come and bear witness for me."
Lu Liang sneered in his heart, aren't you Kong Hanan good at speaking and eloquence? How come you still have to ask me for help?
But he said, "Shouldn't the Yellow Springs Division be responsible for exorcising ghosts and catching monsters? I'm so uneducated that I can't see the ins and outs of this. How about waiting a little longer while I go back and ask Inspector Yang to come?"
As he was speaking, another scholar stepped out from the crowd.
"Deputy Envoy Kong, I feel this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. Committing a crime in broad daylight is both disgraceful and a disgrace to the imperial court."
Kong Hanan couldn't help but frown even more.
"Who are you?"
"I am a disciple of Confucius, Xie Yunhua, the governor of the Huangquan Division in Jiange County."
Peng Yu originally thought that he would be exposed, but unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better. He calmed down at this moment and started to act crazy again.
Kong Hanan laughed in anger.
"Haha, you call me Deputy Envoy, so, has my appointment been fulfilled?"
Xie Yunhua stiffened his neck and said, "Indeed, the order was given, but the deputy envoy acted inappropriately, so don't try to suppress me with your authority."
Kong Hanan sighed and said to the former county lieutenant, "Since you are so shameless, I will have no choice but to let you see my methods."
Kong Hanan originally said this to the former county lieutenant Peng Yu, but Lu Liang and Xie Yunhua's expressions changed.
Lu Liang sneered: "Hey, I've long wanted to see your methods."
With Confucian scholars and common people here, do you still dare to summon your men?
Without those monsters and ghosts, he was confident that Kong Hanan could not defeat him.
"Please enlighten me, Deputy Envoy."
Xie Yunhua was also a proud person. Provoked by Kong Hanan's words, he stepped forward and bowed.
Kong Hanan laughed.
The anger in his heart was hard to contain, so Peng Yu pretended to be dumb. He didn't believe that Lu Liang couldn't see it, and was just taking the opportunity to put eye drops in his eyes.
The scholar was stupid, and in this fight, he was actually in the wrong.
"Teach me? In that case, let me teach you a lesson."
