Chapter 172 Already Dead
"Qu, Lord Qu, something bad has happened, the maidservant is dead..." The guard ran out in a panic and reported nervously.
Everyone: “…”
Dead?
Died by such a coincidence?
Jiang Yunxi walked inside quickly.
Zhan Beiyuan quickly followed.
Qu Xinwen was stunned, but after he came to his senses, he quickly followed him in.
Yu Yong and others followed immediately.
In the cell.
Xia Zhi fell to the ground, her clothes stained with blood.
"What happened? Wasn't he interrogated in the evening? How did he die?" Qu Xinwen quickly walked up to the two guards who were guarding him and asked angrily. She was one of the witnesses.
"She was fine when we came back from the interrogation. Although she was tortured, it was not fatal. We thought she was asleep, but we didn't know..." said a guard in panic.
They really didn't know the other was going to die.
"Go call the coroner." Jiang Yunxi said and walked into the cell.
Qu Xinwen immediately asked the guards to invite him.
Madam Yu looked at Xia Zhi's body and said angrily with hatred: "This slave girl must have known something, but she didn't dare to speak out and was afraid of being tortured, so she chose to commit suicide."
Yu Yong said coldly: "If she wanted to commit suicide, she should have done it long ago."
Madam Yu: “…”
Jiang Yunxi walked to Xia Zhi's body. There were wounds on her body caused by the whip, but they were all superficial injuries and definitely not fatal. She looked around and did not see her soul.
Sudden.
She stripped off the other person's coat and then groped her body. When she touched the back of her head, she paused, then stood up and walked out of the cell.
"Master Yu, do you have her birth date and horoscope?" Jiang Yunxi asked. She had just looked at it and found that Xia Zhi had died not long ago, so her soul was most likely not yet bound.
"Her indenture contract is in the Yu family, and the date of her birth should be on it," Yu Yong said quickly.
Jiang Yunxi walked up to Zhan Beiyuan with the bloody shirt in her hand and said, "Now, take me on horseback to the Yu family to quickly get Xia Zhi's birth date and horoscope. Maybe we can summon her soul and find out about her death."
"She didn't commit suicide; she was murdered. The cause of death was someone piercing the Yamenxue point at the back of her head with a needle, which caused her death."
"Okay." Zhan Beiyuan said seriously.
"Master Qu, call all the guards in the cell tonight. No one can leave!" Jiang Yunxi looked at Qu Xinwen and said sternly. The murderer was among these guards.
Qu Xinwen didn't expect Jiang Yunxi to find out so quickly, "Yes, yes, yes."
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan left quickly.
Yu Yong followed immediately. He had to take them to get Xia Zhi's birth date and horoscope.
When Mrs. Yu saw them leave, she also walked outside. So, was Xia Zhi silenced?
…
Yu family.
Yu Yong immediately asked someone to find Xia Zhi's indenture contract, which had her date of birth written on it, but no specific time.
Jiang Yunxi didn't say anything and could only use it for now.
After she finished chanting the spell to summon spirits, gusts of cold wind blew through the yard, but just like before, no soul appeared.
"Is Xia Zhi's soul also bound?" Yu Yong's face was full of anger.
"What should I do?" Madam Yu was worried. If she had known this would happen, she should have personally interrogated the slave girl.
Jiang Yunxi didn't say anything. Her intuition told her that Xia Zhi's soul should still be outside. She walked forward, bit her finger and dripped blood onto the rune she had drawn before, then recited the soul-summoning spell again.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew and the leaves around rustled.
Yu Yong and others were so frightened that they stepped back repeatedly, unable to open their eyes.
Jiang Yunxi continued to chant the soul-calling spell, and the evil wind continued.
Just when everyone thought Xia Zhi's soul would not appear, a figure appeared out of nowhere. The woman's face was full of panic and fear, and her face was pale and bloodless. "You, what are you going to do?"
Jiang Yunxi quickly set up a formation that was large enough for everyone present to see Xia Zhi's soul.
Lin Weiwei's face was full of surprise when she saw Xia Zhi's soul.
I didn’t expect that Jiang Yunxi was so capable that he could even summon the soul of a dead person.
"Xia Zhi, you slut, why don't you tell the truth? You were always with Qingwan, so why did she lose her innocence?" Madam Yu asked angrily when she saw Xia Zhi's soul.
"I don't know..." Xia Zhi shook her head, fear in her eyes.
"How dare you lie? Qingwan takes you with her every time she goes out. How could you not know who she is meeting privately?" Madam Yu said angrily, wishing she could tear her apart.
Too bad she's a ghost now.
Jiang Yunxi walked up to Xia Zhi and said, "If you don't know anything, why would they want to kill you to silence you? If I hadn't summoned your soul, you would have fallen into their hands. Am I right?"
Xia Zhi's expression changed. It turned out that she had helped her just now.
She was right. If she hadn't been suddenly pulled over by a force, she would have been taken away.
“I, I…”
"You are already dead. Do yourself some good deeds. It will be good for your reincarnation. Otherwise, you will suffer in the underworld. I am not trying to scare you." Jiang Yunxi said seriously with a cold face.
Xia Zhi lowered her head. Yes, she was dead. Those who wanted to silence her didn't even spare her soul. "I was killed by the guards in the cell, but I don't know who stabbed me in the back of the head with the needle."
She fainted after being tortured, and when she regained consciousness, she was dead.
The soul looked at her body and realized that someone was trying to kill her. She immediately left the cell. Her first thought was to go to Yu's house, but when she was halfway there, suddenly an invisible force pulled her.
She subconsciously knew the danger. She wanted to run but couldn't. She was just being pulled by a force until there was another stronger force, and then she arrived at Yu's house.
"So you don't know who wants to take your soul?" Jiang Yunxi frowned. The capital city was indeed a hidden force. The person who harmed someone took his soul away as soon as possible. It seemed that the person had left many believers in the capital city.
Xia Zhi shook her head. "At that time, I just felt a very strong force pulling me."
Madam Yu said coldly, "You lowly servant, you keep talking nonsense. Hurry up..."
Yu Yong glared at her with a dark face, "Shut up and let Miss Jiang ask."
Madam Yu: “…”
"Is Yu Qingwan having an affair with a man outside?" Jiang Yunxi asked directly. As Yu Qingwan's personal maid, Xia Zhi naturally knew the most.
"Hmm..." Xia Zhi nodded.
"You're talking nonsense. Qingwan is not that kind of person. Tell me quickly, has she been deceived?" Mrs. Yu couldn't control herself and spoke. She would not allow anyone to slander her daughter.
Qingwan has been learning women's virtues since she was a child and is well-educated and well-mannered. How could she do such an unruly thing?
Xia Zhi looked at Madam Yu and said, "Madam, the young lady does have a secret meeting with a man. I dare not lie. She has been seeing him secretly and has not told you, nor does she allow me to tell you."
She didn't lie.
How could a servant like her dare to say anything when her master forbade her to do so?
