Chapter 208: Polluting the Land with Evil Spirits
"Two days ago, Prince Li's palace sent people disguised as a merchant caravan into the city. I thought they were here to take us away, but I didn't expect them to kill their own people!"
Hearing this, Chen Chunxing touched his chin in confusion: "Internal strife?"
The madam slapped her thigh, her expression aggrieved as if she was about to cry, but her voice was too loud.
"I swear on my life's happiness that I will never mistreat these bastards! Yesterday I treated them to fine wine and delicious food, and in the night they were killed!
Look at me, I look like a horrible person. Is it possible for an ordinary person to be so cruel? Killing is not enough. How deep is the hatred and resentment..."
After a person dies, his soul leaves the body and his appearance will bear some of the signs of death before death. For example, hanged ghosts basically have a long tongue, while water ghosts have a humidification effect.
But this is just the surface. For ghosts, it doesn't have much impact except that it looks ugly.
The male ghost in front of him was different.
When Chen Chunxing arrived, he found him squatting on the stairs, his eyes dull and lifeless, as if he had lost consciousness, and he was approaching him completely based on instinct.
Moreover, the soul is severely damaged and may be reduced to ashes at any time.
If she had not arrived by chance today, she would have been unable to wait for He Liangpu to capture the soul, and the other party would have completely disappeared from the Three Realms.
Chen Chunxing pondered for a moment, and then came up with some bad guesses. His face turned serious, and he hurriedly asked, "After you die, did you see any unusual behavior of that group of people?"
The madam slapped her thigh again, her whole body trembling, and paced back and forth with an excited look on her face.
"Your Excellency, I'm telling you! Those people are simply not human!"
"They drained the blood of eighteen women and then crushed my bones and soaked them in it..."
"To be honest, young lady, I was in a trance during this period. I could only watch helplessly and could do nothing. I vaguely remember that before those people left, they seemed to pour all the contents of the bucket into the well behind you."
Chen Chunxing subconsciously looked back.
really.
There was a thick layer of substance stuck to the bottom of the deep well, and the inner wall was dyed black and red. If you didn't look carefully, you would think that this brothel was too unrefined and had ruined the well into a mud pit.
She shrugged her nose suspiciously: "Strange, why don't I smell anything?"
But I didn't doubt the madam's words in my heart.
As soon as he came in, Chen Chunxing felt that the yin energy in this place was too heavy, especially the well, so he took the initiative to sit over there.
Now that she knew the truth, her expression became even uglier, and flames started to form in her eyes.
Water is the foundation that nourishes the land and carries the hopes of the world.
If someone pollutes you with negative energy, it is not as simple as just eating a few less bowls of food.
"Did you hear anything else besides this?"
The madam shook her head. She had said all she could.
"Sir, although I have lived in seclusion here for many years and have collected a lot of information for Prince Li's Palace, I have never harmed the local people!"
Seeing Chen Chunxing squinting his eyes and not saying a word, the madam felt uneasy and had a sad face.
"Now I've received my retribution. When I go to the underworld, I shouldn't need any further punishment, right?"
Chen Chunxing was called back to his senses. He glared at him and said with a smile, "What you and I say has no weight in this matter. The judge will come to settle your past. Although you have no major faults, you still have the chance to be reborn as a human being."
She didn't doubt it.
Honglu County is already a barren place and has suffered from war. According to the brothel owner, he has only been here for three or four years. Even if he wanted to do harm, he would not find the opportunity.
And this is what Chen Chunxing is most puzzled about.
Why would Prince Li spend so much time and effort to make things difficult for a shabby county town with nothing?
Suddenly I remembered something.
Chen Chunxing stood up suddenly and hurried away, reminding him, "Stay here, don't move, and don't go near that well... If you absorb too much evil energy and turn into a ghost, don't blame me for not warning you."
The madam shuddered, then immediately floated to the farthest corner, patting her chest and saying, "Don't worry, sir. As slaves, we know our place best!"
——
Chen Chun walked to the front door curtain, slowed down his pace, pretended to be frightened, stumbled over, and stammered, "Pavilion... Patio..."
The bailiffs had just taken the prostitutes away and were searching the house. Seeing her in this state, they kept asking:
"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there a problem with the patio?"
"Don't be afraid, Miss Shen! Hide behind us quickly!"
"Who sent Miss Shen there just now? Why didn't you check carefully? If you harmed the girl, I'll see how you'll explain it to the adults!"
A Gan yamen runner drew his knife and rushed forward.
In the blink of an eye.
She whizzed past Chen Chunxing without even saying a complete sentence.
The little girl's eyes twitched, and she opened her mouth and said something to Xue Yongan who rushed downstairs after hearing the noise.
"These men of yours are all idiots hired by the monkey, right?"
“…”
Xue Yongan cleared his cough, and she then noticed that there was someone following him.
He threw up his handkerchief without blushing or beating his heart.
"There seems to be something in that well. I was really worried when I saw it, so I came to report it. I hope I didn't disturb the master's work."
The little girl acted delicately, her eyes immediately misted over, her fingers fidgeting with her handkerchief restlessly, looking no different from an ordinary girl.
A strange look flashed in Chu Ziyi's eyes. He felt a little amused when he saw the two of them heading towards the patio after they finished talking.
It seemed as if the little girl's words just now were only an explanation to herself.
He didn't show it on his face and followed silently.
at this time.
The yamen runners had turned the courtyard upside down, even turning over and chopping up the firewood piled in the corner, but they still found nothing.
"Sir, no trace of the criminals has been found."
The words were directed at Xue Yongan, but a puzzled look was cast at Chen Chunxing.
"Brothers, look in that well. Is there a dead body? The color seems off to me..."
Chen Chunxing followed closely behind Xue Yongan, only half a step away. He pointed vaguely towards the well and then withdrew his arm with trembling hands.
"well?"
The yamen runners were stunned when they heard this.
If there was a corpse in the well, the smell here would definitely be unpleasant, but after they came in, they did not smell any strange smell, so they ignored the well.
When they leaned over to the side and took a look, several people's faces changed at the same time.
"Hiss, how much blood must have been lost? No wonder those women..."
Someone poked him.
"Is there anyone who can control his words? Be careful not to scare Miss Shen!"
“…”
For a moment, Chen Chunxing didn't know whether he should give him this face.
It’s quite tiring to perform too many plays.
In the end, he decided to be dedicated to his work. He turned his head away as if he was afraid to look, but came face to face with Chu Ziyi.
The corners of the man's mouth curled up imperceptibly, and when he looked away, he seemed to sneer.
"?"
She felt she was being laughed at.
Not sure.
Take another look.
