"Pearl, save us—"
"Save us, Pearl—"
"We are your biological grandparents, your parents! It was us who gave you this wonderful life of wealth and prosperity. How come you haven't even had the chance to repay us, and you've dragged us down to suffer this death penalty—"
"Pearl——"
The screams were all silenced after the rope was put around their necks.
Because their Pearl was also powerless.
Soon they were all hanged on the rack.
That day, the Caishikou at the west city gate was filled with corpses.
They all died on the seventh day after Li Qingluo's death.
This is indeed a good sacrifice that Duan Rongshi gave to himself.
But what is strange is that although they are all souls of the dead, he cannot see the souls of those who were executed.
Even Li Qingluo had been wandering around Jinling these days without encountering any other ghosts.
Why am I the only one still wandering in this world?
She stood at the vegetable market entrance. Although she was clearly a ghost, she felt cold all over.
Li Qingluo clearly felt that his body was becoming more and more transparent.
She thought, if she couldn't even see herself anymore, was it time for her to completely disappear from this world?
Fortunately, the decision of the general's mansion did not implicate my grandmother.
Although Li Qingluo didn't understand what Duan Rongshi had done, it was certain that her grandmother had not appeared.
Li Qingluo felt relieved.
And there is still one person left alive in the Liu family.
It was Sui'er, sitting in the carriage sobbing.
She was quietly taken away from Jinling by a caravan.
The entire Liu family, even the aunt Liu Jinzhi who married into a butcher's family in Jinling, was implicated and hanged.
Only Liu Sui'er, who was living in a brothel, was suddenly redeemed and taken away from this place of trouble.
It’s better to leave like this and start a new life.
Li Qingluo followed Duan Rongshi all day long.
Because she found that ever since he went to the general's mansion on the seventh day after her death and asked Qingyangzi to perform a ritual, she could not leave him too far away.
If it exceeds a hundred meters, it will be immediately pulled back to his side by an invisible force.
So she could only follow Duan Rongshi all day long, wherever he went, she went.
Watch him solve the case.
Accompany him everywhere.
Accompany him into the palace.
Accompany him to walk through the Dali Temple prison and sit in the study in a daze.
Li Qingluo gradually didn't want to leave anymore.
Not only would she automatically stay away when Duan Rongshi was taking a bath, she would also lie beside his bed when he was sleeping.
Every day he would sleep at the innermost part of the bed, leaving most of the outside exposed.
What’s even more strange is that he would set an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks when eating.
Then he filled the bowls and chopsticks with Li Qingluo's food.
A stick of incense was also lit in the room.
When Li Qingluo could feel the fullness of the food in her stomach, she realized that these meals were dedicated to her.
He has always been paying tribute to her.
In addition to continuing to receive his incense, she also had a steady supply of meals every day and even new clothes that were burned.
She watched everything he did quietly.
Watching him guarding a coffin, muttering to himself all day long.
The coffin was placed in Guiyuan.
He never returned to Prince Su's Mansion again.
Li Qingluo didn't even dare to look at the bones in the coffin.
She knew it was hers.
I heard that Duan Rongshi suddenly ran into the mountains like a madman the day before he returned to this world.
He somehow found out where his body was dumped.
So he personally collected her body.
Her body had been gnawed beyond recognition.
It is difficult to piece together a complete skeleton.
But he still carefully wrapped them all up without any disgust and took them home.
Not only that, even a person as obsessed with mysophobia like him would endure the stench every day just to talk to her.
"Luo'er, I will settle accounts with all those who have bullied you."
"Does it make you feel better if you see this?"
Li Qingluo, who was standing by, said, "I'm very happy."
"Thank you, Ashi."
However, apart from what he did every day, what he said most was still: "Luo'er, come back..."
"Did you hear that, Luo'er?"
"I will always wait for you, until you come back..."
From then on, he went home every night to chat with the corpses.
He went out during the day and killed people everywhere.
He first destroyed all the strongholds of Princess Qinyu's Lotus Sect.
Then the collusion between the prince and Qin Yu was exposed to the world.
Then, with lightning speed, he turned the Pei family's conspiracy upside down.
Even Emperor Yan was stunned.
He knew some of these things, but was not clear about some of them.
Before Emperor Yan could react, or even dismiss Duan Rongshi from his post again, he had already started killing and clearing out people everywhere.
The entire Daliang was thrown into chaos...
Emperor Yan just thought he was crazy.
In a rage, he finally wanted to hold him accountable.
But when Duan Rongshi entered the palace with the empty imperial edict left by Concubine Yue, Emperor Yan remained silent and never paid any attention to him again.
…
Li Qingluo knew that if this continued, he would probably go crazy.
So when she saw her body becoming more and more transparent, she felt relieved.
If I leave completely, he should be able to sense it, right?
In this case, he should let go of his obsession with himself...
Until this day, after the corpse was hung at the door of Caishikou, the west city gate, Duan Rongshi suddenly took Li Qinglu out of the city.
