Mu Yi, Su Jinlun, Su Yan, and Xie Miao rushed to the county seat.
Although there is nothing visible on the surface of the county town at this moment, there is an atmosphere of tension permeating the air. The inspections at the city gate are obviously much stricter, and there are also some soldiers patrolling the city constantly.
Xie Miao took Mu Yi directly to his house. The house was not big, but it was clean. There was an old man who should take care of his uncle and nephew. On weekdays, only their uncle and nephew lived here. As for the other family members, they were all in the countryside.
Before entering the house, Mu Yi smelled a strong smell of herbs and thought that Xie Miao had already called a doctor before coming to see him.
After entering the house, Mu Yi saw Xie Zheng lying on the bed at a glance, but at this time Xie Zheng's face was as dark as coal, and even his breathing was barely detectable. Even under the power of Mu Yi's mind, he could sense a wave of
The strong aura of death was surrounding him.
If Mu Yi had not arrived, Xie Zheng might not have been able to survive tonight.
Without thinking much, Mu Yi took out an exorcism talisman and patted it on Xie Zheng's body. A white light immediately enveloped Xie Zheng, and even the black energy on his face quickly faded away.
However, when the white light dissipated, there was still a lot of black energy on Xie Zheng's face that had not been dispelled, which showed how serious his condition was.
Mu Yi once again took out an exorcism charm. After doing this three times, the black air on Xie Zheng's face was completely cleared, and his breathing suddenly became stronger.
Xie Miao looked at all this, feeling excited, happy, and guilty. When the amulet on his body exploded and blocked a fatal blow for him, he completely believed his third uncle's words. He was an expert to Mu Yi.
The last trace of doubt was completely dissipated.
He was even thinking that without Mu Yi's amulet, he might have died long ago.
Now seeing Mu Yi rescuing his third uncle, Xie Miao finally couldn't help it, knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed to Mu Yi.
Mu Yi winked at Su Jinlun, who stepped forward to persuade Xie Miao to get up. At this moment, Mu Yi's attention was also focused on the wound on Xie Zheng's chest. It was a scratch that corresponded to the five fingers and was deeply sunk.
in.
Although the corpse energy from the wound has been completely removed at this moment, the swelling has not subsided for a while, and it looks a bit scary.
Mu Yi studied for a while, but didn't get much. After all, he only knew a little bit about the ghoul from Jia Guangguan's notes. It's not necessarily a deep understanding. Only when he actually sees the ghoul can he know
Sure.
However, three exorcism talismans were enough to prevent Xie Zheng's life from being in danger. Next, all he had to do was wait for him to wake up.
Mu Yi did not wait, but left the room with Su Jinlun and Xie Miao.
Mu Yi planned to take advantage of the daytime to learn more about the ghoul so that he could come up with a countermeasure.
Xie Miao didn't hide anything, and told exactly how he discovered the traces of the ghoul and how he found him.
After hearing the whole incident, Mu Yi suddenly felt that the corpse ghost seemed to have deliberately exposed himself and lured Xie Miao into the bait. But what was the purpose of doing this? Could it be that he had a grudge against Xie Miao or Xie Zheng?
Otherwise, the other party can continue to hide and act secretly.
And why did the other party steal so much gold and silver? You know, seven wealthy families were stolen. Mu Yi also understood that the gold and silver combined could hold at least twenty large carriages, even if it was just
There are a lot of them piled up there.
It is obviously impossible to transport such a large amount of gold and silver out of the city quietly. In other words, the gold and silver should still be in the city, so where is it?
The other party lured Xie Miao to take the bait, in order to divert attention? Then he could take the opportunity to transport the gold and silver out of the city? But that Gu County Master shouldn't be so stupid, right?
Mu Yi stretched out his fingers and tapped his head. For a moment, he always felt that something was wrong, or that he had overlooked it.
However, one thing can be confirmed. Since the other party dares to expose himself, he is obviously confident. And if there is a first time, there will be a second time.
So all Mu Yi needed to do was wait for the ghoul to show off again.
At noon, Xie Zheng had already woken up. When he learned that he had been rescued by Mu Yi, he struggled to get out of bed, and then with the help of Xie Miao, he came down to thank Mu Yi.
From Xie Zheng's words, Mu Yi learned one thing, that is, the corpse ghost was not alone, but had a companion, but the other party was covered in a black robe, so his face could not be seen clearly.
"Two? No, they should be the ones who refine the ghoul." Mu Yi suddenly understood, but this news was not of much use, because when he knew there was a ghoul, Mu Yi knew that there must be someone behind it.
Moreover, it is not that easy to train a ghoul. Being able to have one is already a matter of chance.
In the afternoon, Mu Yi planned to ask Su Jinlun to take him around the county town, but he learned that Su Jinlun was out for something, and seeing Su Yan's hesitation, it was obvious that he had something to hide.
Mu Yi did not threaten him, nor did he carry Su Chongshan out. He just stood there. After more than ten breaths, Su Yan couldn't hold on anymore and hesitantly explained what happened.
It turned out that Su Jinlun received a letter at noon. The source of the letter was also familiar to Mu Yi. It was Zheng Zicong who had sneaked away in the first place.
But no one expected that Zheng Zicong, who was supposed to return to the capital city, suddenly appeared in the county town and learned that Su Jinlun had entered the city, so he invited Su Jinlun to discuss matters.
Moreover, in the letter, Zheng Zicong also stated that because of the conflict with Mu Yi, in order not to affect Mu Yi's relationship with the Su family, it was best not to tell Mu Yi about his stay in the county.
Su Jinlun also hesitated after reading the letter. After all, his grandfather had told him when he came here that everything must be obeyed by Mu Yi. Although Mu Yi did not impose a ban on him, it would definitely not be good if he went out without saying hello.
But Zheng Zicong is his cousin after all. There is a certain blood relationship between broken bones and tendons, which makes it impossible for Su Jinlun to really ignore Zheng Zicong.
Moreover, he was also aware of the enmity between Mu Yi and Zheng Zicong, and instinctively did not want Mu Yi to meet Zheng Zicong, otherwise it would be the most difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
So after hesitating, he finally decided to see Zheng Zicong first to see what was going on with him.
Su Yan was by his side from beginning to end about this matter. Perhaps Su Jinlun never thought about hiding it from Mu Yi, so when Mu Yi asked, Su Yan didn't keep his mouth shut.
On the one hand, he also knew how important Mu Yi was to the Su family; on the other hand, it came from the awe in his heart.
After Mu Yi heard this, he didn't think much about it. He and Zheng Zicong didn't deal with each other very much, but they wouldn't be so jealous of each other. Since the other party was willing to avoid him, there was no need for him to argue with him.
However, when Su Jinlun didn't come back at night, Mu Yi knew that something had happened. (To be continued)
