Chapter 150: Breaking through one move after another
Su Mansion.
Su Yan and Amiruo sat together, feeling angry and a little nervous.
Amiruo spoke worriedly.
"Master Su, are you sure it's foolproof?"
Su Yan spoke with certainty.
"One thing leads to another, Xiao Fuguang can't escape this time."
At this time, a man in black walked in.
"Sir, our people haven't returned."
Su Yan stood up suddenly.
"What did you say? What do you mean by not coming back?"
The man in black bowed.
"They went to assassinate Liu Dazhuang's family. Logically, they should have returned to report, but they didn't."
Could it be that this plan will fail again? Su Yan looked frustrated and spoke with gritted teeth.
"Let's go to Yunke Ferry."
Seeing this, the crowd took a few steps back, their faces filled with fear, and discussions broke out one after another.
"Is that... a coffin? Could it be that what's inside is..."
"What is Shopkeeper Tao planning to do? Is he really going to open the coffin and perform an autopsy?"
Shopkeeper Tao had a determined look on his face. He waved his hand to signal the carriage to stop, then walked forward and spoke in a deep voice to everyone.
"Everyone, the coffin contains the elderly man who passed away yesterday. I, Yunke Du, am willing to accept any investigation by the authorities. However, in order to prove our innocence and reveal the truth, we have specially invited the Imperial Preceptor, the Minister of Justice, and Lord Chen to come together today to reveal the cause of death for everyone."
Yun Wuhen, the Minister of Justice, and Lord Chen walked out from the crowd.
The Imperial Master stepped forward to inspect and spoke.
"This man's body has been hollowed out. If there are any brave warriors, you can go forward and take a closer look. There are countless insects surging under his skin."
The first one to step forward was Liu Dazhuang. When he saw that his father's body was covered with things that kept wriggling and seemed about to break out of the skin at any time.
Liu Dazhuang was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Jiang Yuan who was standing beside him supported him in time.
"This...how could this happen?" Liu Dazhuang's voice trembled, his eyes full of disbelief.
Then he started crying loudly.
"Master Imperial Preceptor, Master Chen, Master Shangshu, you must intervene for my family. There's a woman in black who said she'd give me a large sum of money if I could just have my father come to Yunke Ferry and order a dish of stir-fried pork and celery. My father's illness has cost us all our money and put us in debt. I was so obsessed with money that I agreed, but I didn't expect them to actually put a curse on my father."
The old woman also began to cry loudly.
"I'm old and confused. I actually believed the words of the Southern Xinjiang wizard. Although we ordered dishes at the restaurant, I didn't eat a single bite because I was not feeling well. I was confused. How could such a thing fall from the sky? They are all targeting the lives of ordinary people like us..."
"Old man, I'm sorry for you. If our family wasn't so poor and we hadn't had the money to buy you medicine, we wouldn't have agreed to the Southern Xinjiang wizard's request, and you wouldn't have been cursed."
The Minister of Justice and Lord Chen also saw it.
"This person's body is really full of bugs."
"What vicious people from southern Xinjiang."
Lord Chen was even more angry.
"Damn that Southern Border wizard! He previously used poisonous insects to harm the Crown Prince, and now he's killing the people of Xuanyuan. He truly deserves to die."
"Come here, immediately search and capture the wizards in Southern Xinjiang."
A few brave men have stepped forward to see what is inside the coffin.
"Sure enough, there are bugs in my body..."
"Yes, it's squirming. It's disgusting."
The discussions in the crowd became even louder. Some timid women had covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming, and the children were held tightly in the arms of their adults, not daring to watch this scene.
At this time, there were voices of discussion among the crowd.
"I've been thinking about it for a long time and finally figured it out. It seems someone saw that this restaurant was doing so well that they deliberately caused trouble for it and even colluded with the wizards of Southern Xinjiang. They are truly malicious."
The Imperial Master spoke loudly.
"Everyone, step back. Don't get infected by these bugs, or you'll end up like this deceased man."
Shopkeeper Tao took the opportunity to say loudly
"Fellow villagers, you all saw this. This old man didn't die of food poisoning, but was cast in the vicious witchcraft of a Southern Xinjiang wizard! Although Yunke Ferry is not innocent, the real murderer is the Southern Xinjiang wizard hiding in the shadows! We must not allow them to continue to harm innocent people!"
Then he bowed to the imperial teacher.
"Master Imperial Master, what should we do now?"
"I'm just a small shopkeeper. I'm scared just by hearing about this poisonous insect."
The Imperial Master looked at the corpse in the coffin and spoke loudly.
"This body can no longer be called a body. It's full of poisonous insects. If it's buried, these insects will crawl out and harm countless people."
Then he looked at Liu Dazhuang.
"You are the son of the deceased, right?"
Liu Dazhuang nodded hurriedly.
The Imperial Master continued speaking.
"For now, in order to prevent the poisonous insects from harming others, we have to burn it immediately..."
Liu Dazhuang shouted anxiously when he heard this.
"No, you can't burn it. This is my father. I can't let him rest in peace even after his death."
The Imperial Master spoke with a serious expression.
"We understand your feelings, but if these poisonous insects are not burned to death, I'm afraid they will harm more people..."
As soon as the national teacher said this.
Someone in the group immediately shouted.
"Burn it, burn it quickly, don't let it harm others."
"That's right, Liu Dazhuang, we sympathize with your father's death, but you can't harm everyone."
At this time, a bug bit through the skin of the corpse. Soon the skin broke open, and countless bugs poured out of the corpse and surged rapidly in the coffin.
There were screams in the crowd and everyone was retreating desperately.
"ah…………"
The place where the coffin was suddenly empty, and Liu Dazhuang was also scared.
Some people took the lead and knelt down before the imperial teacher.
"National Master, please deal with it quickly and treat it as a way to eliminate harm for the people."
"Please ask the Imperial Master to burn these poisonous insects."
"Please ask the Imperial Master to burn these poisonous insects."
Countless people knelt down and prayed.
Liu Dazhuang knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face.
"Master, please burn it. I can't let my father bring harm to others."
Shopkeeper Tao brought a bucket of oil and poured it into the coffin.
The Imperial Master raised his hand and a piece of talisman paper started burning, then threw it into the coffin.
The flames rose up instantly, engulfing the coffin and the horrific scene inside. A burnt smell and a strange aroma intertwined in the air, making people feel awe and a little comforted.
The poisonous insects struggled in the flames for a moment, then turned into ashes and dispersed with the rising heat wave.
The national teacher recited scriptures in a low voice.
After finishing the scripture, he spoke to Zhang Dazhuang.
"I have prayed for your father's soul to be reborn in a blessed family in his next life, where he will have no worries about food and clothing."
Liu Dazhuang hurriedly kowtowed to the imperial teacher.
"Thank you, Imperial Master. Thank you, Imperial Master."
In the corner of the crowd.
Su Yan clenched his fists.
Damn it.
Turn around and walk away from the crowd.
"Go back to Dali Temple!"
The second floor of a restaurant.
Xiao Fuguang watched everything end.
Speak slowly.
"Xingyue, let's go pick up Liuyue and take him home."
