Chapter 51: Using foxes as bait to act for oneself (3)
The situation in the city was far more tense than what Qing Shang had described. Even though the business meeting was held in these days, the fake governor did not care about the so-called political achievements and went out to hunt for criminals with great fanfare.
The merchants from all walks of life were disturbed and complained, and they all submitted a request to arrest the fugitives after the business meeting.
However, the fake governor's face was gloomy, and the government offices were hung with white cloth and white lanterns. It was said that the heinous villain actually killed thirty-one of the governor's wives and concubines in one night.
Corpses covered with white cloth were lined up in two rows in front of the lobby. They were so shocking and tragic that all the people who came to complain were silenced.
Then, with understanding and righteous indignation, they all expressed that they would go all out and help Fu Yin catch the murderer and bring him to justice at any cost.
One after another, the Celestial Masters were captured and imprisoned. The Celestial Masters who managed to escape from Ning'an Prefecture were hunted down like a lost dog. The three sects and six sects were originally linked to each other, but when they suddenly suffered such a disaster, the blame was naturally directed at Qianye.
Chiba turned around very carefully and came back. His face was as gloomy as frost, and the murderous aura that had not been revealed for a long time was as strong as the rain.
Looking at Wu Zhou, his expression softened a bit, as if it was not Wu Zhou who made her angry, and even though he was implicated to this extent, he didn't express his anger at him.
"We can't stay here any longer. Qing Shang didn't leak any information about you, but the officers and soldiers will search here at any time."
"Where to go?" Wu Zhou asked calmly.
Qianye let out a sigh of relief, "Fight against the odds, and give it a try even if there is no hope. It is better than staying here and being surrounded and suppressed."
Wu Zhou shook his head gently, "A last-ditch battle is nothing more than throwing yourself into a trap. You have magic power, but you can't withstand so many officers and soldiers with real swords and guns."
"That's right." Qianye leaned against the wall of the wooden house, casually pulled out a few pieces of yellow talisman paper, and quickly drew talismans on them with a cinnabar pen, "But thirty-one people died in the government office, and the souls of those people were all gone.
I have disappeared, and there is no way to prove my innocence, so I have to bear the blame. In front of the national law, I am just a common citizen. If I abscond after committing a crime, I will never see the light of day. What's more, if I have implicated the Tianshi lineage, I will be punished one day.
Clean the door.”
Wu Zhou nodded, but did not ridicule her for being useless, and asked: "What do you want to do?"
Qianye thought for a while, drawing talismans one after another as a reserve, "Actually... I don't have a good idea yet."
Wu Zhou pondered for a while and then said: "The governor is an official, and under the banner of being honest, no one will question him in catching the murderer. Hundreds of officers and soldiers naturally have to obey his orders, but... he is not the real governor.
"
Qianye nodded, as if Wu Zhou had already figured out a solution, and listened quietly.
"He uses national laws to suppress you, and he can force you into desperation if he does so openly. However, national laws have never been established to protect monsters."
Seeing the situation peeling off layer by layer, the smile on Chiba's face became brighter and brighter, and the cinnabar pen used to draw the talisman also waved, "Then what?"
"In this way, you only need to lure the monster into the urn, and then catch the turtle in the urn. In front of everyone, let Fu Yin show his true form, and the injustice of the Heavenly Master will be cleared. You may be able to become famous and win two birds with one stone."
"To catch a turtle in an urn, you must use bait." Qianye reminded.
Wu Zhou changed his posture slowly and said, "His target is you, but for me, he may not kill me with one move. That would be too advantageous for me, so you have time to do things."
Qianye put the drawn talismans into his sleeves and suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect you to have such a high IQ?"
