The sunshine was very good today, but everyone shuddered as they stood in the courtyard of the Yangxian County Government Office.
In front of Li Mu and others, nineteen corpses were neatly arranged.
The bodies of thirteen police officers, the Yang County magistrate's family of four, and the father and son of the wealthy businessman Wang family are all here.
These people all had their eyes wide open, their mouths opened wide, and their expressions were extremely frightened. They were obviously very frightened before they died.
Nineteen people stared at the sky with their eyes open in fear. The scene was horrific. Some underqualified police officers took one look at it and lowered their heads, not daring to take another look.
Even Green Snake, who was always fearless, hid behind Li Mu and turned a little pale.
Li Mu used his clairvoyance to check and saw that the bodies of these nineteen people were empty and soulless. Judging from their expressions, they should have been sucked in three souls and seven souls the moment they saw the female ghost.
, leaving behind such a tragic situation before death.
Although the magistrate of Yang County is not very good in Taoism, he still has the ability to gather the spirit. His soul also failed to survive for a moment in front of that peerless evil spirit.
Chen Juncheng's face was as dark as water. He glanced at the corpses and said loudly: "Who is in charge of the Yangxian County Government now?"
Yang County, like Yangqiu County, is just a small county. There are no ministers or lieutenants. After Chen Juncheng finished speaking, a petty official ran forward and said quickly: "Sir, the county magistrate and the head catcher are both dead."
In the hands of that evil spirit, the clerk is the jailer of the county government. If you have anything to say, just ask the clerk."
Chen Juncheng took a deep breath and said, "Tell me the cause and effect of this matter truthfully!"
The clerk trembled and said in a trembling voice: "It's like this. Mr. Wang and his son have a very close relationship with the county magistrate on weekdays. The Wang family and his son pay a lot of filial piety to the county magistrate during the holidays, and the county magistrate also
He took good care of them. Yesterday, the young master of the Wang family kidnapped two women and returned home. One of them was the daughter of a farmer in Yang County, and the other was a beautiful little beggar..."
He swallowed his saliva and continued: "After Mr. Wang kidnapped the farmer's daughter back home, he wanted to commit adultery, but accidentally beat her to death. The farmer reported it to the county government, and the Wangs and his son had already been punished.
I got a huge favor from the county magistrate and blamed the woman’s death on that little beggar..."
The jailer looked pale and said in a trembling voice: "They, they secretly beat the little beggar's father to death and buried him in a mass grave. They also wanted to execute the little beggar in the prison, making it look like she committed suicide out of fear of crime.
It was an ironclad case. Before she died, the little beggar pointed at the sky and screamed for injustice. After she died, there was sudden lightning and thunder outside, and heavy snow fell from the sky. Later, she turned into an evil ghost and demanded her life. The county magistrate's family, the Wang family and his son
, and those detectives, all died in her hands..."
Chen Juncheng clenched his fists and said angrily: "You bastard!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the Yamen.
A policeman ran in and said hurriedly: "Sir, it's not good, many people have broken in..."
Chen Juncheng stepped out in one step, and the people who broke into the county government suddenly seemed to have an invisible wall in front of them, and they could no longer take a step forward.
Chen Juncheng's face was calm and he looked at them and asked: "I am the Juncheng of Beijun. What do you want to do by forcefully breaking into the county government office in broad daylight?"
Hearing that he was an official from the county and city, everyone started talking and knelt down.
"Sir, the common people have a grievance to report!"
“The common people have their grievances too!”
"Please, sir, make the decision for us!"
Chen Juncheng looked at the noisy scene and spoke again, his loud voice echoing among the crowd, "You please line up in order and speak one by one."
The people who had just arrived in Yang County from the county town did not expect that the first thing they had to face after arriving in Yang County was actually the overwhelming crowd of people.
Nineteen corpses were temporarily stored in the inner hall, and Chen Juncheng personally opened a government office to allow the people of Yang County to express their grievances.
A middle-aged man walked into the hall first, knelt down, and said loudly: "Sir, the common people want to sue Wang Lun, the Wang family, and Chen Chuan, the magistrate of Yang County. A year ago, Wang Lun ordered people to kidnap the daughter of the common people.
Entering the mansion, his daughter's innocence was stained. The daughter couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by throwing herself into a well. The common people sued Wang Lun to the Yamen. Chen Chuan, the magistrate of Yang County, not only refused to make decisions for the common people, but also slapped the common people twenty times, saying
The common people framed good people and accused the common people's daughter of falling into a well..."
Chen Juncheng glanced at Capt. Zhao and asked, "Did you remember it?"
Zhao Captou on the side put down his pen and said: "Write it down."
Chen Juncheng looked at the middle-aged man again and said: "After I investigate the case thoroughly, I will give you justice, next one."
An old man came up and said: "The common people want to sue Wang Bo, the Wang family, and Chen Chuan, the magistrate of Yang County. The Wang family has invaded Xiao Laoer's land, but the county magistrate has transferred the grass people's land to the Wang family..."
Chen Juncheng nodded and said: "Next one."
"The grassroots sued the wife of Yang County Magistrate Chen Chuan..."
"The grassroots sued the daughter of Yang County Magistrate Chen Chuan..."
"The grassroots sued the son of Chen Chuan, the magistrate of Yang County..."
"The grassroots people sued Yang County to arrest Qi Yu."
"The grassroots reported to Yang County to arrest Wei Peng."
…
In the front hall of the county government office, Chen Juncheng asked, while Capt. Zhao took notes on the side. Li Mu stood in the inner hall and listened for a while, then walked out.
The people of Yang County who filed lawsuits were none other than the Wang family and his son, the entire family of the Yang County magistrate, and the dead Yang County police officers.
These people relied on Chen Chuan, the magistrate of Yang County, to bully men and women, and committed all kinds of evil. In fact, more than ten human life cases were involved. In their eyes, the lives of the people of Yang County were no different than trivial matters.
These people, without exception, all died in yesterday's incident.
Within the Yangxian County Government, those who were lucky enough to survive were ordinary servants.
Bai Tingxin came out with a pale face and said: "You humans are too terrible. I will never inhale human yang energy again..."
People in Yang County continued to express their grievances until the afternoon, and there were still many people lining up outside the county government office.
After Chen Juncheng asked one person, he closed the yamen and ordered the rest of the people to come back tomorrow.
Capt. Zhao looked at the thick stack of case files recorded, rubbed his sour wrists, and said: "People can be bullied, but God cannot be bullied. Their death is the retribution of heaven, and death is not a pity..."
Chen Juncheng asked: "Is there any news about the evil spirit?"
Lieutenant Shen said: "During the day today, several more people died in Yang County. They were all bullies and troublemakers from all over the country. The purpose of the evil spirit seems to be very clear..."
He sighed and said, "She did what our court should have done."
Chen Juncheng shook his head and said: "In the matter of Yang County, the court will soon learn that Chen Chuan's wife is the sister of the Minister of Civil Affairs. In the past two years, if this person had not blocked Chen Chuan's position as county magistrate, he would have
It’s over a long time ago, and I won’t act recklessly in Yang County and cause such trouble..."
Including Li Mu and others, no one in Yang County sympathized with these people who died.
But the imperial court will never tolerate the existence of that evil spirit.
Although the imperial court was generally unwilling to provoke strong men in the fifth realm, the massacre of all the imperial officials and the bloodbath of the yamen had already touched the bottom line of the imperial court.
The superiors will not and cannot tolerate her.
The evil spirit did not leave Yang County and continued to kill people. Although they were all treacherous and evil people, the Bei County officials could not stand idly by.
Chen Juncheng, who was also in the fifth realm, left the county office early the next morning to look for the evil spirit, but he was always one step behind her.
If an evil spirit in the fifth realm deliberately conceals its aura, it will be difficult for practitioners in the same realm to detect it.
As soon as the magistrate of Yang County died, the county government was taken over by someone from the county government. The people who had been oppressed before had no worries and scruples.
In the past few days, people have been coming to the Yamen to complain about their grievances. Li Mu and others almost all deal with these matters in the Yamen.
The crimes committed by these people, headed by the county magistrate Chen Chuan, were too numerous to record. During the recording process, Li Mu was so angry that he had a headache.
He didn't feel that the evil spirit had done anything wrong. Instead, he felt happy. It was not a pity to die for these people. The laws of the Zhou Dynasty could not control them. The court would not accept them, but God would do it for them.
From a certain perspective, they did not die at the hands of the evil spirit, but died from divine punishment.
The initial power of ghosts comes from resentment.
The more resentment you have, the stronger you will be when you turn into a ghost after death.
If their resentment can shake the world and resonate with the world, there is a very low probability that they will turn into unparalleled evil spirits within a very short time after death.
The little beggar was kidnapped by the evil young man. He was the victim, but instead he was framed as a murderer. The injustice he suffered was comparable to that of Dou E. Before she died, she was full of resentment and happened to shout out the words that have the effect of a mantra:
Causes strange phenomena in heaven and earth, and creates a peerless evil spirit...
Li Mu was actually a little flustered. If he looked into it carefully, he found that this evil spirit was actually created by him.
If the imperial court wants Qiu Hou to settle accounts, Yunyan Pavilion and him will not be able to escape their relationship.
However, if given the chance to choose again, Li Mu would probably tell Dou E's story.
If there were no "The Injustice of Dou E", no rain in the county, and no little beggar hiding from the rain outside Yunyan Pavilion, there might be one less evil spirit in the world, but there would be one more injustice soul who died in vain, and those
People who should go to hell can continue to harm the world.
In the past few days, the evil spirit has continued to act, and ghosts have gradually caused more troubles in other places in Yang County.
Obviously, there is a driving force behind the scenes, trying to completely disrupt the situation in Yang County and even the entire North County.
The court's response to this matter was faster than Li Mu expected.
Only five days later, an imperial envoy came to Yang County from Zhongjun and brought a piece of news.
Anyone who practices in the Great Zhou Dynasty and can slay this evil ghost can receive a heaven-level talisman, a heaven-level elixir, or an earth-level magic weapon.
This kind of reward is enough to drive countless practitioners into madness in Beijun and its surrounding counties.
"madness!"
At the Yangxian County Government, Chen Juncheng looked at a feminine man coldly and said: "The ghost generals under King Chujiang are also looking for that evil spirit. Is this move of the court to completely push this evil spirit to King Chujiang?"
