The streets gradually beca lively, and the number of vendors and servants increased like bamboo shoots growing after the rain.
The won who woke up early to buy vegetables went out in groups with bamboo baskets.
Soon, a scream opened the curtains of dawn.
In just a mont, the vast crowd had completely blocked the Dong Residence.
“This is really scary. This Dong Hui has been dead for five years. How did he get dug up again? Hey, take a closer look at this coffin. It’s made of high-quality rosewood!”
“There are yellow talismans all over the ground. There’s also a big ‘Sin’ written on the vermilion door. I wonder if it’s human blood or…”
Soone read the small words by the blood.
“Did the Dong Clan offend soone?”
Soone burst out laughing.
“Don’t you think the Dong Family has offended quite a few people in recent years? Perhaps they will do sothing outrageous again. It’s infuriating. Serves them right!”
Yi Cui squeezed through the crowd and said in a voice that lifted the atmosphere, “The wizard’s bells were ringing yesterday. I’d say it was a vengeful spirit.”
As expected, everyone’s expressions beca serious, and the scene suddenly fell silent. Clearly, their thoughts had been diverted.
However, if they were talking about vengeful souls, they could only think about the group of concubines who were buried alive together back then.
After so many years, were they coming to seek revenge now?
With a bang, the plaque swayed and fell to the ground, breaking into two pieces. In the distance, Ji Qing withdrew the hand that was holding the stone and quietly left.
No one saw who did it. However, the discussion got twice as loud.
In the inner courtyard of the Dong Residence, it was as if water was leaking from the room. Drip, drip, drip. Old Master Dong’s face was splashed. He did not sleep well. He rubbed his eyes and opened them to see a head hanging above the bed.
What had landed on his face was not water, but blood…
He was very familiar with the owner of this head. He had paid a high price to hire a powerful shaman from the Miao tribe.
His eyes widened, his expression stiff with fear. He did not know how long he had been dead for, but his eyeballs looked like they could fall out at any mont.
With a thud, the bloody head rolled into his arms.
“Master!”
The butler stumbled into the room.
“The shaman has mysteriously disappeared!”
His head was in his arms, haha!
The butler saw that the door was tightly shut and did not dare to barge in. He said, “The signboard outside has also been smashed!”
Old Master Dong was covered in cold sweat. His heart was beating like thunder. He held back the scream in his throat and scrambled out of bed, ignoring his ssy clothes.
Over the years, he had stained himself the blood of many people for the sake of wealth.
It was the blood of dead people and living people.
It was not an easy task to gather eighteen girls together.
Ti was tight. Under the guidance of the shaman, he found the last female with an excellent horoscope profile.
However, she was not dead yet.
Old Master Dong also chose a ti to personally send her on her way.
A white knife goes in, and a red knife cos out.
He could keep his expression calm, but when he saw the shaman head, he shivered and vomited.
Who was trying to warn him?
“Young Master’s grave has also been dug up!” It was placed outside! The entire Fengzhou probably knew about it. When Furen learned of this matter, she was furious and reported it to the magistrate. She begged the magistrate to make a decision and capture the culprit. Even if she was cut into pieces, she would not be able to resolve the hatred in her heart.
With a creak, Old Master Dong staggered out.
“This stupid woman!”
“It’s a bad ti. I’m afraid soone did this on purpose! Entering my Dong Residence and killing my shaman. It’s clear their strength cannot be underestimated. He cos in the dark while I am in the light. Even if the magistrate favors my Dong family, how can he save from this?”
—
“Get out of the way. If you disturb the governnt’s investigation, you’ll lose your head!”
Before Madam Dong could report the case, the governnt had already sent people. Dozens of officials ard with sabers had arrived with ferocious expressions.
The commoners naturally feared the governnt. They all made way for them.
The officials who usually did not dare to do anything to the Dong family were very unyielding at this mont.
“Soone reported that the Dong family is involved in a murder. Take them all away!”
The Dong family was connected to the magistrate and would offer him a large sum of silver every year.
How could the officials of this small county governnt be so impudent?
Madam Dong threw herself onto the coffin with red eyes. She turned around and cursed.
“Are you all blind? Aren’t you afraid that the magistrate will bla you for ordering you to arrest him?
“My son can’t even rest in peace in the underworld! I want to report this to the authorities!”
However, no matter how noisy they were, these officials still acted willfully.
In his muddle-headed state, Old Master Dong was brought out in a sorry state by the officials who had barged with the power of the law on their side.
Even the servants of the Dong family were taken to the station.
In the private room of the teahouse.
Looking down from the window, he could see the farce in front of the Dong family’s door clearly.
The fragrance of the tea lingered in the air, but Shen Hua did not take a sip.
She frowned, troubled and confused.
Cui Yun was the one who brought her to the teahouse. Even the stack of evidence in her hand was given to her by him.
However, Cui Yun left after sending her off.
He did not leave a single word behind.
However, Shen Hua strongly believed that this was Cui Yun’s doing.
Yi Cui entered the teahouse refreshed after watching the show.
“That Young Master Cui just ca to Fengzhou, but he easily gathered all the evidence that has troubled my lady for many days. I wonder what his identity is?”
Shen Hua was depressed.
It was not that she was worried, but that she really did not understand.
She had had no personal relationship with Cui Yun before.
Why did Cui Yun help her?
Did he help her because he had a grudge against the Dong family, or did he destroy the Dong family to help her?
She tilted her head and looked out the window.
“Did you see that? Even the county magistrate, who fawns like a puppy in front of the magistrate, has sent soone here. But now, we have beco enemies with the magistrate.”
Shen Hua said, ” The county magistrate is timid and has never stood out. He has done his best to appeal to the people for injustice and to deliver the complaint papers. However, he has failed to do anything to those with power and influence. Under the pressure of the magistrate, he can only close his eyes and bend the law to protect them.”
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes and her eyes trembled as she spoke each word.
“Who do you think the county magistrate borrowed his courage from? Or did he borrow soone’s power? ”
Shen Hua had actually thought of many ways to ss with the Dong family, but she never thought of reporting it to the authorities.
Reporting to the officials… was the most useless option.
These officials were high and mighty and corrupted and bribed. How could they care about the suffering of the people when they were united?
All Shen Hua could think of was to play tricks and make everyone restless.
She would completely expose the ugliness of these sinners.
Since there was no way to report it, she would use her own thods to make the Dong family unhappy.
However, now, with Cui Yun’s move, the county magistrate was actually shouting at them.
This feeling of losing control was not good.
She did not know what Cui Yun would do next.
Yi Cui was still most concerned about Shen Hua’s health. “My Lady, you didn’t rest well last night, and you’ve beco much more haggard. Why don’t you go back to your residence to rest?”
“The cri is obvious. The Dong family has encountered a tough opponent this ti. This servant will let the servants in the courtyard go and investigate. Once there is any news, I will inform My Lady.”
Shen Hua shook her head.
“I’m waiting.”
“Wait for what?”
Shen Hua’s beautiful eyes curved.
Since she had gotten Cui Yun’s help, she naturally had to personally hand over this stack of evidence to the county magistrate.
