Astral Apostle Chapter 182: Accidents and runaways

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

"I happened to pass by the door and listened to it. 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 Mr. Fan taught me?"

This white-robed scribe is called Fan Ji. He has repeatedly missed the mark, so he travels 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, and it will become clear after a little bit of debriefing. That Lingfengzi is holding on to the Ye family's situation, with a gesture of asking for guilt. This Taoist woman has something to do with her, so she also got into trouble and was 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 did not know that she had It's just that this person took a fancy to the generosity of my Zhang family and took the initiative to come to the house to get help. The second is to show that my Zhang family has never harmed anyone, so that other aristocratic family members will believe."

"Not bad." The head of the Zhang family nodded.

Fan Ji said slowly: "There are only a few ways to do it: one is to watch the girl 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. The worries of the owner are nothing but the consequences of these four practices."

"That's right." The head of the Zhang family nodded. Fan Ji smiled and stretched out a finger: "I'll tell the owner of the house... If we take the first approach and let her fight on stage, her victory or defeat is meaningless to me, and the most important thing is not knowing her. Is she really good at sorcery? If she can't, it's good, I don't have to do anything, but if she's not wronged and exposed in public, the Zhang family will be stunned. Everyone apologizes, but that's of limited use.

People may 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 to talk to himself: "If the second method is used, it would be better to strike first, tie the female Taoist to the official, claiming that we have been deceived, which seems to be a clear attitude, but It seems deliberate. After she finished speaking, we grabbed her on the back. It seemed that we had known it for a long time. It made people think whether he wanted to survive by breaking his tail... This is just a small matter. The most fearful thing is that the Taoist woman will hold grudges and slander my Zhang family. Collusion with her to harm others, it is really unclear, so we are not suitable to start with that female Taoist. And the third method is the same, although we are not afraid of being slandered, but others will only kill us because we feel guilty. , but it seems that the harmful things are real, causing fear."

Zhang Wentao's eyes lit up next to him: "So, Mr. Fan agrees to let the Taoist woman leave?"

"Not all of them." Fan Ji said with a half-smiling smile, "You are in the game, 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 be. She will sit still, even if we don't let her escape, she will definitely do it in the next three days."

The head of the Zhang family asked: "But that Lingfengzi asked me to take care of that person in the Zhang family...I don't know what Mr.'s plan is?

"There are no strategies, just some simple solutions.

Fan Ji waved his hand and said with a smile:

"The head of the house doesn't need to worry about Ling Fengzi being held accountable, because we don't play the role of letting the female Taoist go. In my opinion, as long as we don't send people to look after the female Taoist, she will find an opportunity to escape on her own, and we will relax. Internal tension, forced this female Taoist into danger, let her hurt people, caused people's lives, faked the show, and made the matter bigger. In this way, it seems that the Zhang family has not neglected protection, but did not expect it. This female Taoist was so good that 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 Lingfengzi could no longer be aggressive. At the same time, he also used a few lives Cleared our relationship with the Taoist woman, showing that we are not the same."

Hearing that, the two looked at each other.

"But...if people are killed, my Zhang family..." The head of the Zhang family hesitated.

"Haha, the head of the family is overthinking it. It's not the Zhang family, but the servants and nurses. It's better to kill one or two stewards who have given surnames to win the trust of others." Fan Jiyu smiled.

Zhang Wentao couldn't help but said, "Sir, it sounds good at first, but I just took it for granted. How can we ensure that this female Taoist kills people's lives? What if the female Taoist does not escape?"

"It's enough to make some simple arrangements... If the Taoist woman really failed to escape in the end, then it would appear that the Zhang family has done a good job in taking care of them. With this stubbornness, even if she shows her sorcerer methods, my Zhang family will also have their own. In other words, I already have the qualifications to win the trust of others, and I am no longer passive like now... Remember, as long as this female Taoist is the first to act and cause death, the Zhang family will be able to get rid of most of the relationship." Fan Ji's tone was not in a hurry. Not 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, listening 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 bosom.

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's a spirit bag for raising 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 the 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 in the streets and alleys are talking about it.

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 changed

The family members of the Zhang Family Nursing Institute came out of their nests and searched the streets to search for layman Xuanxin. The people on the street were stunned to know that the Taoist woman had escaped from the battle, killing and injuring many servants of the Zhang family who were besieged and blocked. At this moment, they were fleeing in the city.

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 approached.

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 Jiading move in with a dozen or so horrified and dark-faced corpses.

"Zhenzhen! You have to decide for us! I will follow Zhenren's instructions and strictly guard the layman 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 by the Zhang family, but she finally broke through. I waited until I found out that layman Xuanxin was indeed a demon, and he was deceived by her for a while, thinking he was a master, otherwise how could she be allowed to live in the house? My Zhang family mansion?"

Zhang Wentao's expression was agitated, with tears streaming down his face, with a remorseful tone.

Wei Zifu stepped forward with a frown and looked at more than a dozen corpses in a deep voice:

"These people have all been attacked by ghosts and ghosts and planted with corpse poison, so quickly set them on fire, or else they may change their lives... Damn, that demon dares to harm people!

Speaking, he took out a stack of talisman paper from his arms and stuck it on the foreheads of these corpses.

Zhou Jing looked at the corpses, and then at Zhang Wentao, who was expressing his grief, with a subtle look in his eyes.

But in the end, he still didn't say anything else, nodded and said; "You don't believe what I said earlier, you have this disaster, and it really makes the poor man sad."

"I regret not listening to the real person! The real person is so eye-catching, I am so ashamed that I have come to the door to plead guilty and ask the real person to punish!" Zhang Wentao beat his chest and stomped his feet.

"Your Zhang family did your best, and there were many casualties, so why should you punish me?" Zhou Jing shook his head, then looked at Grandpa Ye and asked, "What do you think of the old lady?"

Ye Taigong sighed: "Oh...it seems that the Zhang family has also been deceived. The most urgent task is to find this demon first and then talk about it.

Zhang Wentao heard the words and hurriedly said, "That's right, I also wanted to ask the real person Yufeng to help me capture the Yaodao!"

- Wei Zifu next to him raised his head and suggested eagerly; "This demon is running around in the city. In order to escape, I don't know what will happen. We must catch it as soon as possible, and ask a real person to help."

Hearing the words, 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, no Thinking that she can't hold back her anger now, she has performed sorcery, and she has established her origins, so the poor Daoist will arrest her."

"It is a blessing for Ning Tianfu to have a real person, and to have a real person in charge.

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 the sorcery he wanted, and at the same time, he threw his life away, and even went to the door to plead guilty in public. Whether it was true or not, Zixiong had done enough.

I didn't do this to deal with the Zhang family, it was just a reason to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Now that my goal has been achieved, if I continue to be aggressive as an outsider, I'll just add to myself. 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 talk about some rules... Unlike Chen Feng, who is lawless.

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 the evil qi, which was difficult to distinguish. He gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"This Mei Zhanqing has a vicious heart, and must be using evil laws on ordinary people to confuse people. The streets and alleys in the city are intricate, so that the poor road will not be able to track her for a while! She has slipped away from the poor road many times before. , all use this method!"

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

"Poor Daoist can only - investigate." Wei Zifu has nothing to do~IndoMTL.com~ Zhou Jing shook his head: "Don't be so troublesome."

After all, he rose against the wind, swayed upwards, flew higher and higher, overlooked in the sky, and activated element vision. A dark and dark yin and evil aura emerged, giving a panoramic view of its location, and its location at a glance.

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

This demonic way takes care of the road, and naturally wants to leave the city. It is unlikely that it will delay time by going around a large circle. Therefore, most of these confusing sorcery auras are done on the way, so that it can be seen that Mei Zhanqing's trace.

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

One-most of this demonic path wants to go by water and go down the river by boat, which is difficult to track.

"Found you..'

Zhou Jing's eyes flickered, locking on one of the evil spirits, and the whole person flew into the air.

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