331: Chapter 129 I want to report!
I want to make a contribution!
Yes!
Wang Yunxiao actually thought the sa, “Why would you arrange a ghost marriage now when you can do it any other ti?” He also vaguely rembered hearing from Third Master Ding that there were many nuances to arranging ghost marriages, the most taboo of which was forcing living people into ghost unions, which easily conjured fierce ghosts.
So, unless they bore a grudge against the family, or intended harm, people generally didn’t engage in such acts.
He had seen what fierce ghosts looked like and knew they indeed existed.
So, when he saw the young bride in that sedan, he felt there was sothing fishy.
Now, seeing the genuinely baffled expression on Third Master Ding’s face confird his suspicions.
The use of the alybug Doll was indeed a spell known to Third Master Ding, but he wasn’t the only one skilled in trickery here; soone guilty had already fled.
Wang Yunxiao squatted in front of Old Third Ding, and asked in a deep voice, “Third Master, what’s the background of that disciple from the Cuojin Sect?
It’s said that professionals know their own kind best, and you were even drinking together.
Don’t tell you don’t know him.”
Old Third Ding responded with a bitter smile, “I know him, I know him.
This Mr.
Leng is a well-known figure in Tiann City, a true disciple of the Cuojin Sect, a distinguished guest of the Qian King’s Mansion, who walks the path of Fulong Court.
We commoners can’t compare to him at all.
But I don’t know why, Mr.
Leng always regards unfavorably, always finding faults with …”
“Mr.
Leng?
Leng Nian?”
“Yes, you’ve heard of the na, officer.
But the nas and appearances of the disciples of the Cuojin Sect are all false…”
Such a familiar na.
Wasn’t this the sa Mr.
Yin Yang who wanted to make Chen Yan his disciple because of her talents?
It was because of the ghost marriage last ti, this damned inertia of fate…
Wait!
Wang Yunxiao suddenly realized, this really wasn’t an issue of the inertia of fate.
If there really was such inertia, the one in the sedan should have been Chen Yan!
And encountering Leng Nian twice, once could be a coincidence, but twice?
If it was as Old Three Ding said, Leng Nian served the Qian King’s Mansion, and his usual dealings were with the ordinary folks in the market, there shouldn’t be any conflict of interest between them.
Then why were they intertwined over the sa issue twice?
Thinking this, Wang Yunxiao stared at Old Third Ding and said coldly, “Third Master, you’ve gotten yourself into a big problem this ti.
The governnt has already started its third round of specialized crackdown operations, and here you are, going against the wind, using the alybug Doll to force underage girls into ghost marriages.
This isn’t sothing that can be settled by eating a peanut; I reckon you need to be set as a negative example, undergo a public trial and then be executed by shooting within two minutes…”
“It wasn’t !
I didn’t do anything!
I am wronged, officer!”
It was dusky and through the mask, Old Third Ding didn’t recognize Wang Yunxiao; terrified by his few words, he broke down crying, “Officer, I really am a good citizen!
I used to run so shady businesses that couldn’t be disclosed, but that’s all in the past.
I’ve since reford and am trying to be a better person now; you can’t wrong like this!”
Still a good citizen…
Don’t call officer, call Supre Elder.
Wang Yunxiao scoffed at this, knowing that if just crying injustice would clear one’s na, then there would be no villains left in the world.
It’s not like I don’t know what you are made of; I’ve known you long enough.
Old Third Ding wailed twice, but seeing that Wang Yunxiao was unmoved, he finally realized sothing and quickly quieted down.
Crawling up, he pleaded softly, “Officer, I really am wronged.
Please give a chance to prove my innocence.
In the future, I will definitely show my gratitude.”
While speaking, he slid off the white jade ring he was wearing on his thumb and asked obsequiously handing it to Wang Yunxiao, “Officer, take this ring to the Extensive Knowledge Pavilion on Nanshi Main Street.
The shopkeeper can exchange it for five hundred dollars.
If it’s short by even a dollar, you can co back and slap hard!”
Extensive Knowledge Pavilion…
Wang Yunxiao was pensive and didn’t refuse outright.
Taking the ring, he said sternly, “You, Third Master Ding, are also a renowned figure in the Jianghu World; I will spare you so dignity this ti.
You say it wasn’t you, but you can’t completely dissociate yourself from this matter.
Go ho, get your leg treated, and co find at the police station tomorrow night at the sa ti to explain yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Old Third Ding was imnsely relieved; despite the pain in his leg, he quickly got up and bowed, asking, “May I know the honorable na of the officer?”
“Chief of the Special Service Section, surna Wang!”
Wang Yunxiao thought for a mont and added, “Third Master, don’t bla for not reminding you; the nature of this matter is quite severe.
Think about it, why did I specifically co to you today?
If you were really innocent, why would this bla fall on your head?”
Old Third Ding suddenly understood and nodded earnestly, “Thank you, Lord Wang, for your guidance.
I wouldn’t have thought of that if you hadn’t ntioned it.
Rest assured, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation tomorrow at this ti!”
Wang Yunxiao did not reveal more information, mainly because he was not very familiar with this field, and the intelligence information he could provide might not be professional, potentially leading people astray.
It is said that Mr.
Yin Yang can calculate the future; since Old Third Ding earns his living this way, let him figure it out.
If he can figure it out, great; if not, he will be held accountable.
As for whether he might flee, Wang Yunxiao hadn’t even considered it.
On one hand, he really was just a small fry; one more or one less on the execution list made no difference.
Managing to survive in Tiann City through the first two rounds of crackdown and cleanup indicated that he couldn’t be too bad.
What Wang Yunxiao truly cared about was the self-proclaid disciple of the Cuojin Sect, Leng Nian.
Although lacking actual evidence, the guilty manner in which Leng Nian acted convinced Wang Yunxiao that sothing was amiss.
On the other hand…
the people of Tiann City, belonging to the Jianghu World, valued dignity above all.
It is said, “Matters of life and death are trivial compared to losing one’s honor,” and for the people of Tiann, “Matters of life and death are trivial compared to losing face.”
For Old Third Ding to have maintained his wealth till now, he must have so shalessness; if you look at my woman, I might just kill your whole family.
It’s about acknowledgnt of a person.
Even if I beat you down like a grandchild, pulling you up and calling you elder afterwards also gives you face.
Despite his leg being broken by Wang Yunxiao, Old Third Ding bore no grudge.
After all, Wang Yunxiao was a governnt officer conducting official business.
And by addressing him as Third Master and ultimately maintaining his dignity, he was deeply moved.
Seeing Wang Yunxiao preparing to leave, he quickly called out, “Lord Wang, wait!
I wish to report sothing!
I want to denounce soone!
There’s a rebel here!
There is a grand traitor deceiving our lord!”
