Astral Apostle - Chapter 188

[One hundred and eighty-two accidents and running away]

182 Changes and Runs Just as the head of the Zhang family was pondering, a man in white pushed open the door and walked in, dressed in a scribe’s uniform, with a sparse beard under his jaw, and a faint smile on his face.

“I happened to be passing by the door, and I heard a little bit. I wonder if you two would be interested in listening to me?”

Seeing this person, the master of the Zhang family was overjoyed, asked the scribe in white to sit down, and said, “I don’t know. What does Mr. Fan teach me?”

This white-robed scribe, called Fan Ji, repeatedly missed the mark, so he went on a trip to relax. Currently living in the Zhang family temporarily, he is one of the patrons supported by the Zhang family.

Fan Ji stroked his beard and said with a smile: “This matter is not complicated, just a little bit of combing will make it clear. That Lingfengzi is holding onto the Ye family’s potential, and has a posture of asking for guilt. We were involved, so we also got into trouble and got framed. There are two things we need to do now. One is to clean up our relationship with this Taoist woman, claiming that we were only deceived and didn’t know her past origins. It’s just that this person took a fancy to my Zhang family’s generosity and took the initiative to come to the door to get relief. The second is to show that my Zhang family has never harmed anyone, so that other nobles can believe.”

“Yes.” The Zhang family’s head nodded.

Fan Ji said slowly: “There are only a few ways to do it: one is to watch over this woman and let her fight in public three days later, the other is to directly tie her up and hand over her, the third is to kill her to silence her, and the fourth is to let her escape. , is nothing more than the consequences of these four practices.”

“That’s right.” The Zhang family head nodded.

Fan Ji smiled and stretched out a finger: ”

I’ll tell the Patriarch… If you take the first approach and let her stand on the stage to fight, her victory or defeat is meaningless to me, and the most important thing is whether she really knows sorcery.

If she doesn’t know it, it’s good, I don’t have to do anything, but if she’s not wronged and exposed in public, the Zhang family will also be flattened. limited.

The common people may be able to believe it, but who wouldn’t play a role in a powerful family or a dignitary? If an apology can clear up suspicion, then things in this world are too simple.

And that Lingfengzi has the right to walk in the body, and will not aim at nothing, so I don’t need to bet on whether this female Taoist is wronged, I guess what people say is true.

”

The head of the Zhang family nodded again and again: “I think so too.”

Fan Ji did not argue, and continued on his own: “If the second method is used, it would be better to strike first, and tie the female Taoist to the official, claiming that we are being punished. She was deceived. It seemed to make her attitude clear, but it seemed deliberate. After she finished speaking, we grabbed her with the hind foot. It seemed like we knew it for a long time. It was the Taoist woman who held grudges and slandered that my Zhang family had indeed colluded with her to harm others. It is really unclear, so we are not suitable to attack the Taoist woman. The third method is also the same, although we are not afraid of being slandered by others. , but others will only think that we have a guilty conscience to kill and silence, but it seems that the harmful thing is real, causing fear.”

Zhang Wentao’s eyes lit up next to him: “So,

Mr. Fan also agrees to let the female Taoist leave?”

“Not all of them.” Fan Ji said with a half-smiling smile, “You are in the bureau, and you only think about the Zhang family’s relationship, but you forget that the woman who is most worried now… If she is really a demon, she will never sit still. Even if we don’t let her escape, she will definitely make a move in the next three days.” The

head of the Zhang family asked, “But that Lingfengzi wants me to take care of that person in the Zhang family… I don’t know what plan,

Mr. , just some simple ways.

Fan Ji waved his hand and said with a smile,

“The owner of the house doesn’t need to worry about Lingfengzi being held accountable, because we don’t play a role in letting the female Taoist go. In my opinion, as long as we don’t send someone to look after the female Taoist, she will find an opportunity to escape on her own. We relaxed outside and tightened inside, forcing the Daoist woman into a dangerous situation, letting her hurt people, causing people to die, doing fake dramas, and making the matter bigger. In this way, it seems that the Zhang family has not neglected their protection. I just didn’t expect this female Taoist to be so good. She broke through and ran away. At that time, the Zhang family immediately sent someone to the Ye family to ask Lingfengzi to apologize. We lost a few lives, and the Lingfengzi could no longer be aggressive. It took a few lives to clear our relationship with the Taoist woman, showing that we are not the same.”

Hearing this, the two looked at each other.

“But…if people are killed, my Zhang Family…” The Zhang Family Patriarch hesitated.

“Haha, the head of the family is thinking too much. It’s not the Zhang family’s relatives, but the servants and nurses. It’s better to kill one or two stewards with surnames, so as to win the trust of others.” Fan Jiyu smiled.

Zhang Wentao couldn’t help but said: “Sir, it sounds good at first, but it’s just a bit taken for granted. How can we ensure that this female Taoist kills people’s lives? What if the female Taoist doesn’t escape?”

“A simple arrangement is enough… If the female Taoist really failed to escape in the end, then it would appear that the Zhang family had done a good job in taking care of her. With this incident, even if she showed her sorcerer methods, my Zhang family would have their own way of saying that, and had the qualifications to win the trust of others. Don’t be passive like now… Remember, as long as this female Taoist is the first to act and cause a life, the Zhang family will be able to get rid of most of the relationship.” Fan Ji’s tone was slow.

The head of the Zhang family and Zhang Wentao looked at each other, saw the movement in each other’s eyes, and lowered their heads to discuss.

In a place that no one could see, a ghostly creature in the shape of a baby girl followed Zhang Wentao’s feet and listened to the words of the few people.

After listening for a while, the ghost quietly passed through the wall and left, drifting along the road, and returned to the bamboo hut.

Mei Zhanqing opened her eyes and took out a sachet from her arms.

This sachet is black and red, with a bunch of weird tadpole patterns painted on it, and a bunch of ghost-like talisman paper attached to it, but it is a spiritual bag used to raise ghosts.

She opened the spirit bag and sucked the ghost back, while rubbing the bag, her eyes flickered: “So that’s the plan… Hmph, it’s good for me, I can take the opportunity to act cheaply.”

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.

The fact that Wei Zifu and lay Buddhist Xuanxin are about to take the stage to fight the law has spread all over the market, arousing the interest of the people of Ningtian Prefecture, and everyone is talking about it in the streets and alleys.

In the city, workers rushed to build a high wooden platform, which was used as a place for fighting, and countless people were waiting to watch the fun tomorrow.

However, just the day before the fight, something happened.

The family members of the Zhang Family Nursing Academy came out in full force and searched the streets for layman Xuanxin, and the people on the street were stunned to know that the female Taoist had escaped from the battle, killing and injuring many servants of the Zhang family who were besieged and blocked, and was fleeing in the city at the moment.

The Zhang family sued the official, and the government immediately dispatched officers all over the city to arrest him.

This change caused an uproar in the market, and many people were in danger, and quickly closed their doors, for fear of being called to the door.

At the same time, Zhang Wentao came to visit Zhou Jing with a group of servants, carrying more than a dozen corpses covered by straw mats, and immediately alarmed the Ye family.

In the hall, Zhou Jing, Wei Zifu, Ye Taigong, Ye Shunzhong and others gathered together to watch the Zhang family move in with a dozen or so horrified and black-faced corpses.

“Zhenzhen! You have to decide for us! I will follow Zhenren’s instructions and strictly take care of the lay Buddhist Xuanxin, but I never imagined that she would actually hurt people and kill several nursing homes of my Zhang family with evil methods. I was chased and intercepted, but she was finally able to break through. I waited until I found out that layman Xuanxin was really a demon, and he was deceived by her for a while, thinking that she was a master of the Tao, otherwise how could she be allowed to live in my Zhang’s house The mansion?”

Zhang Wentao’s expression was agitated, his tears were streaming down his face, and he had a remorseful tone.

Wei Zifu frowned, looked over a dozen corpses and said solemnly:

“These people have been attacked by ghosts and corpses, and they have been planted with corpse poison, so quickly burn them, or else they will change… Damn, that monster Dao dares to harm others!

As he said that, he took out a stack of talisman paper from his arms and stuck it on the foreheads of

these corpses. Looking at Zhang Wentao who was complaining in excitement, his eyes were a little subtle.

But in the end, he didn’t say anything else, nodded and said, “You don’t believe what I said before, and this disaster is really sad for the poor.

”

“I regret not listening to the real person! The real person is so piercing, I am so ashamed that I have come here to plead guilty and ask the real person to punish!” Zhang Wentao beat his chest and stomped his feet.

“Your Zhang family has done your best, and there are many casualties, so why are you punishing me?” Zhou Jing shook his head, then looked at Taigong Ye and asked, “What do you think of the old lady?”

Taigong Ye sighed: “Oh… look. I was also deceived when I came to Zhang’s house. The most urgent thing is to find this demon first.

Zhang Wentao heard the words and hurriedly said, “That’s right, I also want to ask the real person Yufeng to help me Zhang and Ye’s catch the demon. Dao!”

– Wei Zifu next to him raised his head and suggested urgently; “This demon is running around in the city, in order to escape, I don’t know what will happen, so I must catch it as soon as possible, and ask a real person to help.

Hearing this, Zhou Jing stood up, nodded and said, ”

The words are reasonable, and the poor can’t just sit back and watch. I originally wanted the two of you to fight in public, so that the people of Ningtian Mansion could see that this person is really a demon, I didn’t expect her Now that she can’t hold back her anger, she has shown a sorcerer, and she has confirmed the origin.

”

“There are real people in Laos, and there are real people in charge, which is really a blessing for Ningtianfu.”

Zhang Wentao quickly sent a flattery.

Zhou Jing’s expression did not change, but his heart was turning.

Most of the inside story of this matter is tricky, but after thinking about it, he decided to turn a blind eye, not to investigate further, and just take it as it is.

The Zhang family took the initiative to present the evidence of sorcery that he wanted, and at the same time, he threw his life away, and even came to plead guilty in public. Whether it was true or not, Zixiong had done enough.

His move was not to deal with the Zhang family, it was just a reason to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Now that the goal has been achieved, if he continues to be aggressive as an outsider, he will simply add to his block.

After all, he had only been in Ningtian Mansion for less than a month, and he was not qualified to use the local rich and powerful family to kill chickens and set an example.

Bill’s current route still needs to teach some rules… Unlike Chen Feng, who is lawless, if he flips the table, he flips the table, and everyone doesn’t eat.

Zhou Jing thought about this, no longer delayed, and told everyone about the Ye family.

Wei Zifu started the Qi-watching technique, but found that there were many traces of evil qi, which were difficult to distinguish. He gritted his teeth and said angrily:

“This Mei Zhanqing has a vicious heart, and must be using evil methods on ordinary people to confuse people. The streets and alleys in the city are so complicated that Pindao can’t track her for a while! She slipped away from Pindao many times before. This trick is used!”

“How about that?” Zhang Wentao hurriedly spoke up whether he understood it or not.

“Poor Daoist can only—investigate.” Wei Zifu had nothing to do.

After that, he rose up against the wind, soaring up, flying higher and higher, overlooking the sky, and activated his element vision.

A dark and wicked aura emerged, giving a panoramic view, and the location at a glance.

Like a kite, Zhou Jing flew over Ningtian Mansion. After a simple screening, he ruled out most of the options, and saw Mei Zhanqing’s whereabouts.

This demonic path is taking care of the road, and naturally wants to leave the city. It is unlikely that it will delay time in a large circle, so most of these confusing sorcery breaths are done by the way, so that the trace of Mei Zhanqing can be seen.

I saw that these traces looked like an arrow, pointing directly to Ximen Ferry outside Ningtian Mansion, which was the ferry where Zhou Jing stepped on the river and entered Ningtian.

1 – Most of this demonic path wants to go by water and go down the river by boat, which is difficult to track.

“I found you…”

Zhou Jing’s eyes flashed, and he locked on one of the evil spirits, and the whole person flew into the sky.

Wei Zifu and others below quickly chased Zhou Jing on the ground.
