Chapter 291 Ye Chutang is captured by the Shaman
As soon as Qi Shuyan asked Ye Chutang to leave, he thought of the two jailers outside the dungeon.
"Sister-in-law, what are you going to do with these two jailers?"
Although killing the two men was the only outcome, if they died, his plan might be exposed.
Ye Chutang knew what Qi Shuyan was worried about.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, big brother. No one has come to the water dungeon tonight."
After saying this, she left the dungeon and locked the copper padlock.
Then he fed each of the two jailers a pill and removed the anesthesia from them.
Then hypnotize them so that they forget everything they saw tonight.
After finishing his work, Ye Chutang said to Qi Shuyan: "Brother, after I leave, count down to three and snap your fingers, and they will wake up."
Qi Shuyan watched the whole process of Ye Chutang's hypnosis and was a little bit unbelievable.
"Sister-in-law, how can they listen to you? Have they forgotten everything?"
"Brother, you will know after trying it. By the way, my parents are both fine, we will wait for you to reunite with us."
Ye Chutang left this sentence and left the dungeon.
Qi Shuyan waited for a long time, and after making sure Ye Chutang was far away, he said nervously: "Three, two, one."
Although his hands were chained, it did not affect his ability to snap his fingers.
"clatter!"
As soon as the snap of fingers was completed, the eyes of the two jailers regained clarity.
They moved their bodies a little and felt stiff.
"It's really hard to be on duty at night."
"Who said it wasn't? I've been standing for too long and my body is stiff."
"Just bear with it for a while. We will sacrifice this man to heaven the day after tomorrow, and we won't have to keep watch any more."
"Didn't this guy trick Miss Jia into eloping? Why is it worthy of the wizard to build an altar and sacrifice him to the heavens?"
"I heard that his horoscope will attract evil spirits, and evil spirits will enter his body, which will bring disaster to Dali Prefecture."
Qi Shuyan listened to the conversation between the two and felt relieved.
He didn't expect that Ye Chutang could make the jailer forget everything with just a few words.
I’m afraid even the shaman is not as powerful as her!
His brother who doesn't understand romance really married a good wife.
Ye Chutang, who was being missed, sneezed.
She originally wanted to go back to the post station directly, but then she thought that Qi Yanzhou might have gone to the Jia Mansion, so she took a detour to find him.
I have already known all the information I need to know, so there is no need to look for Miss Jia again.
As a result, as soon as she appeared on the roof of the Jia Mansion, she saw a number of officials coming out of the government office, and it was obvious that there was a big operation going on.
Ye Chutang frowned slightly and stared at the movements of the officer.
It was discovered that they were heading in the direction of the post station.
She did not follow him, but went into the Jia Mansion to look for Qi Yanzhou, but did not find him.
Ye Chutang returned to the post station before the officers and soldiers.
There were also soldiers and officers at the gate of the post station.
There were not many people, about ten or so, and they were confronting the National Protection Army.
It was obvious that the officers who came were here to support these dozen people.
"What happened at the post station?"
She muttered something in confusion and was about to climb into the room through the window, but was stopped by Qi Yanzhou who suddenly appeared.
Qi Yanzhou took Ye Chutang out of the post station and into an empty house nearby.
"Atang, you can't go back. Those officers are here to arrest you."
Ye Chutang was puzzled when he heard this, "Why did you arrest me?"
As soon as I asked her, she reacted and asked again: "Are the dog emperor's people plotting against me again?"
Qi Yanzhou nodded, "A woman was bathing in Dari Lake. She was discovered by the officials guarding the lake. She ran away, leaving behind only her clothes and a hairpin."
Ye Chutang asked confidently: "The clothes happened to be the ones I wore, and the hairpin happened to be the one I dropped?"
"Yes, when the officials found the post station, you were not there, so the National Protection Army stopped them."
Qi Yanzhou grabbed Ye Chutang's shoulders and looked at her seriously.
"Atang, you also know how much the people of Dalizhou value the Holy Lake. The officials will not give them time to find the person who framed you, so you have to leave with Nan Xiao first."
"I am not an ordinary citizen. The government cannot convict me based on my clothes and hairpin. If I leave, I will be considered as absconding from the crime."
She won't take the blame for something she didn't do!
Qi Yanzhou didn't want Ye Chutang to escape, but to let her stay out of the spotlight for a while.
"Atang, I will find out the truth and clear your name."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Xiao appeared.
"Master, it's bad. The shaman has come to the post station himself and said he wants to capture my wife to offer sacrifice to the gods and purify the holy water."
Hearing this, Ye Chutang chuckled.
"Even the shaman was alarmed. Now I am a little curious about what that wizard sees in me."
There is no early rise without benefit.
If the mysterious shaman could be alarmed, he must have some ulterior motive.
Qi Yanzhou didn't understand shamanism and didn't dare to let Ye Chutang take risks.
"Atang, the power of witchcraft is unfathomable. No matter what the wizard sees in you, don't pay attention to it."
"I want to go and meet him."
After Ye Chutang made up his mind, he told Qi Yanzhou the news he got from Qi Shuyan.
"If the wizard also wants to sacrifice me to the heaven, I can just cooperate with my elder brother."
Qi Yanzhou's eyes were filled with deep worry.
"What if it's not?"
"Then poison the wizard to contain him."
After saying that, Ye Chutang raised a confident smile and said, "Let's go and meet that wizard."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Qi Yanzhou did not try to stop her.
He warned: "Don't underestimate wizards. If you think there is danger, you must strike first."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."
Qi Yanzhou also told Ye Chutang what he had found out.
Ye Siyin was indeed close to a postman.
It was her idea to use abortion powder to deal with Ye Chutang.
The postman had contact with the shaman. It should be that the emperor promised the shaman some benefits and asked the wizard to deal with the Qi family.
The pregnant Ye Chutang is the core of the Qi family, so the wizard set his sights on her.
With Ye Siyin's help, it was not difficult for the wizard to find a set of clothes similar to Ye Chutang's.
Especially the hairpin she wore, which allowed the wizard to lock onto the owner of the hairpin and impose the sin of polluting the holy water on her.
After Qi Yanzhou finished speaking, he took Ye Chutang's hand, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Ye Siyin can't stay."
Ye Chutang had no objection, "You decide."
"Okay, but now is not the time to deal with her. Wait until Big Brother's matter is settled, then we can deal with her."
"Okay, don't let her die too easily."
After deciding whether Ye Siyin was dead or alive, the two returned to the inn and climbed through the window into the room.
When the two elders of the Qi family saw the two men coming back, they were relieved but also very worried.
"Zhou'er, the police are wrongly accusing Tang'er, but they won't do anything to her, right?"
The two of them didn't know that the shaman had also gotten involved.
As Ye Chutang went to change into night clothes, he said, "Mom, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Qi Yanzhou nodded in agreement, "I won't let anyone hurt Atang."
After receiving his assurance, Mrs. Qi felt relieved.
"I'm glad everything is fine. When will those officials outside the post station leave?"
"I'll go down with Atang to ask about the situation."
"Okay, be careful and don't fall into the trap. If all else fails, use force."
The post station is not far from the city gate. If the National Protection Army breaks through with all their might, they will be able to leave Dali Prefecture safely.
Ye Chutang changed her clothes and went downstairs with Qi Yanzhou.
The National Protection Army almost got into a fight with the police.
Seeing the couple coming downstairs, they immediately made way for them.
The pedestrian passage leads directly to the entrance of the post station.
Ye Chutang saw the wizard standing at the door at a glance.
He was wearing strange clothes made of cotton cloth of various patterns. His skirt made of ribbons swayed in the wind. He wore a hat full of feathers on his head and held a thin, round drum in his hand.
His eyes were sharp and looked at Ye Chutang with an oppressive feeling.
No, he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at her belly.
Ye Chutang had a chilling feeling as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and became alert.
Since the person coming has bad intentions, we should strike first!
Qi Yanzhou took a step forward and walked in front of Ye Chutang, blocking the wizard's cold sight.
He arrived at the entrance of the post station and looked coldly at the leading official.
"You say the person bathing in the holy lake is my wife based on just a piece of clothing and a hairpin. Isn't that too hasty?
My wife has not gone out since she returned to the post station from outside the city. The reason she didn't come out to clarify before was because she was pregnant and not feeling well.
Also, my wife's hairpin was stolen during the chaos at Lake Dari.
Accusing her of contaminating the holy water is a complete frame-up! ”
The officers did not take Qi Yanzhou's explanation seriously.
"Master Qi, is it Madam Qi who polluted the holy water? Wizard Solang will tell you the truth."
After saying this, he bowed respectfully to Wizard Solang and presented Ye Chutang's hairpin to him.
"Master Wizard, please!"
Solang took the hairpin and kissed it.
His lips moved rapidly and he spoke in a loud and clear voice, saying something no one could understand.
After a while, he put the hairpin on the ground and beat the drum in his hand.
As the dull drum beats began, the hairpin on the ground began to tremble.
Then it slowly rotates.
In a moment, the end of the hairpin pointed directly at Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang couldn't figure out the principle behind this and moved around deliberately.
As a result, no matter which direction she walked, fast or slow, the end of the hairpin was pointed at her.
She stopped in front of Wizard Solang.
"The hairpin is pointing directly at me, does it mean that I am its master?"
As she said this, she picked up the hairpin with her toes.
When everyone was attracted by Ye Chutang's movements, she threw the poison she had prepared long ago onto the back of the wizard's hand holding the drum.
After finishing her work, she accurately caught the hairpin and played with it in her hand.
"Wizard, you can only prove that this hairpin is mine, but you can't prove that I was the one who contaminated the holy water."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly reached out and pulled a feather from the wizard's hat.
"If I throw this feather into the holy lake, can I also say that the person bathing in the holy lake is you, the wizard?"
The officer immediately drew his sword and pointed it at Ye Chutang.
"How dare you! How dare you disrespect the wizard? Catch her!"
When the National Protection Army heard this, they immediately rushed out of the post station to protect Ye Chutang.
Suo Lang looked at the feather in Ye Chutang's hand, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.
"It is an unforgivable sin to touch a wizard's feather crown!"
After saying that, he took a step back and started beating the drum quickly while doing a weird dance that was hard to understand.
A flame suddenly ignited in front of Ye Chutang.
The raging flames seemed to have a soul. They not only surrounded her, but also set on fire the clothes of the National Defense Army that were protecting her.
Someone immediately came forward and patted the burning clothes, but the fire could not be put out.
Ye Chutang looked at the wizard coldly, "If you burn them to death, you will definitely be retaliated against!"
Suolang sneered, his eyes contemptuous, "What does the punishment from the gods have to do with me?"
Ye Chutang knew very well that the truth was definitely not what the wizard said.
He must have used some sorcery to divert the backlash.
"Stop it, I'm going with you!"
This statement frightened the National Protection Army, and they immediately opposed it collectively.
"Madam Qi, you can't do that!"
Even if they lose their lives here, they cannot let Ye Chutang compromise for them.
If they die, only a hundred people will die.
And if Ye Chutang is alive, he can save millions of people!
Ye Chutang felt the heat from the flames and pressed the hairpin against her slender neck.
"I'm saying this for the last time, stop!"
Seeing Ye Chutang's determined look, Suolang immediately stopped beating the drums as he didn't think he was joking.
The flames went out immediately.
But his hand did not leave the drum, as if he was ready to burn everyone to death if Ye Chutang changed his mind.
"Let's go, Madam Qi!"
Ye Chutang listened to the wizard's annoying words and warned him, "I am not someone you can kill at will. I have saved countless lives and have done countless good deeds. If you kill innocent people indiscriminately, the backlash will not be something you can bear."
Of course Suolang knew that he couldn't kill Ye Chutang.
His target is only the baby in her belly!
If the pure blood of an infant is used as a guide, the life-for-life witchcraft can be more successful.
"Don't worry, Madam Qi. I never kill anyone. I only obey the punishment from the gods!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Mrs. Qi will know about the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony the day after tomorrow."
When Ye Chutang heard the word "sacrifice to heaven", he immediately felt relieved.
She looked at Qi Yanzhou and said with a smile, "I am a good person. As long as the gods are not blind, they will not punish me. Don't worry."
After saying this, she followed the officer.
Qi Yanzhou pretended to stop him, "Atang, you can't go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Suolang started beating the drum again.
The flames reappeared and surrounded Qi Yanzhou.
"If you disrespect the gods, you will be punished!"
He warned Qi Yanzhou that if he dared to take action, he should be prepared to be his corpse.
Of course, this was just a threat, because Qi Yanzhou was not someone he could kill.
He believes that people are selfish.
Qi Yanzhou would not gamble his life for Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang looked at Qi Yanzhou who was surrounded by flames, "Azhou, we'll meet at the Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony."
"Okay, if anything happens to you, I will bury the entire Wu clan with you!"
Solang scoffed at this.
In his opinion, Qi Yanzhou was just trying to find a way out because he was afraid of death.
After the officer took Ye Chutang back to the government office, Suo Lang also left.
The National Protection Army immediately surrounded Qi Yanzhou to discuss how to rescue Ye Chutang.
Qi Yanzhou naturally wouldn't ignore Ye Chutang, otherwise it would seem too fake.
"First treat the burnt people's injuries, and then discuss the plan to rescue Atang."
When the Qi family found out that Ye Chutang was taken away by the police, they became extremely anxious.
Especially Sun Chu, who angrily accused Qi Yanzhou of failing to protect Ye Chutang, and jumped up and down wanting to go to the government office to jailbreak.
Qi Hean was also worried about Ye Chutang, but he knew that Qi Yanzhou must have his own considerations for not rescuing people immediately.
"Mr. Sun, everyone has seen how much my second brother cares about my second sister-in-law. He must be more upset than anyone else when my second sister-in-law was arrested.
What we need to do now is not to blame, but to come up with a foolproof plan to rescue our second sister-in-law safely. ”
These words calmed Sun Chu down.
"Okay, let's discuss how to deal with that shameless damn wizard!"
He didn't expect that witchcraft really existed in the world, and he didn't know if there was any way to break it?
