Chapter 190 (1/2)



190 Xu Qi ‘an without any flaws (1)

Zhang Kaitai rushed back to the front hall without saying anything. Xu Qi ‘an wanted to follow Zhang Jinluo, but he was not as fast.

When he rushed to the front hall at a very fast speed, he saw Zhang Kaitai using his fingers as a sword to cut the last paper man into two.

At this time, the ground was covered with a lot of shredded paper, and there were nearly ten paper men. In addition, there were two youths lying on the ground. Their throats had been slit open by a sharp blade, and blood was splattering everywhere. They had already died.

“What’s going on?” Xu Qi ‘an was shocked.

“Many paper men suddenly came out of these two people’s bodies and wanted to kill them to silence them, but we stopped them.” Silver Gong, who was in charge of guarding the criminals, answered, but he was talking to Zhang Kaitai.

“How are the prisoners?” As Zhang Kaitai asked, he looked at the middle-aged man in embroidered clothes who was curled up in the corner and was protected by several gongs.

He held his head and squatted in the corner, his face facing the wall, so no one could see his face clearly.

“Hey, it’s fine now.” Gong kicked him, and the middle-aged man fell limply to the ground.

Everyone’s expression changed slightly. Yin Luo, who was in charge of guarding the place, rushed over with large strides. After checking his breath and neck, his expression turned ugly. He cupped his fists in panic and said, ”

“This humble servant’s guard is not strong enough. Please punish me, Daren.”

Zhang Kaitai suddenly became very gloomy. Blue veins appeared on his forehead. After a few seconds of silence, he slowly said,”I don’t blame you.”

He walked to the corpse, grabbed the middle-aged man’s collar, and shook it gently. With a ripping sound, the clothes were torn into pieces.

The middle-aged man’s naked body was exposed to everyone’s eyes. There was a bright red mark on his chest.

this is a wizard’s Killing Curse. By taking a person’s hair, blood, nails, and other things, supplemented by the eight characters of the birth date, it can kill people without them noticing. Zhang Kaitai shook his head.

This was something that could not be prevented, especially for a system like the martial arts, which was only good at violence.

“What about the paper man?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.

Zhang Kaitai squatted beside the corpse and pondered for a long time. these paper figurines made me think of something. The witchcraft religion’s methods are unpredictable. They have curses, killing people in dreams, and the ability to control ghosts and corpses.

these paper men are possessed by ghosts. They are ordered to work for the spellcaster.

Xu Qi ‘an was a smart person. He instantly understood what Zhang Kaitai meant and said in surprise, “”The well in the backyard is … The Wizards of the wizard God religion use them to raise ghosts.”

This also explained why it was a seal and not a complete purification.

“The wizard is probably nearby.”

but he has already left. Our surprise attack caught him off guard, so he hid in the surroundings and cast a spell to silence him. He is already dead, so he will not continue to stay in the vicinity.

“Zhang Jinluo, even you can’t sense this paper man? I didn’t notice that The Paper Men were hiding on these teenagers just now.”

“First, a martial artist’s divine sense can only give an early warning to things that pose a threat to them.Second, the paper man was not only an object attached to ghosts, but also a layer of seal that could shield perception.Third, paper men don’t have strong killing power. They are usually used for business, not to kill enemies.”

Xu Qi ‘an was suddenly furious. He cursed and unsheathed his black and gold long knife. The sharp knife ray cut through the beams of the hall. Broken wood and tiles fell with a clatter, causing the women and young men to cover their heads and scream in all directions.

In the shadow of the other side of the street, the person hiding in the shadow sneered and laughed when he saw the collapsed house in the distance and the noise it made. Then, he fell silent again.

…..

Minister of Works ‘residence.

In the master bedroom, the Minister of Works, whose wife had passed away for many years and had never remarried, was sleeping soundly with his concubine in his arms.

A paper man drifted into the yard with the night wind and landed lightly on the ground. A few seconds later, it got up and squeezed itself through the crack of the door with difficulty.

It carefully avoided the charcoal basin and walked to the side of the bed with jerky steps. It floated up the bed with a light breeze and landed beside the pillow of the Minister of Works.

The paper figurine stood up unsteadily from the pillow and slammed its head into the Minister of Works ‘face with all its might.

The Minister of Works frowned and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the paper figurine on the pillow, he immediately woke up.

He first observed his concubine and made sure that she was sleeping soundly. Then, he picked up the paper figurine, got out of bed, and went to the table. He lit the candle on the table, unfolded the paper figurine, and read the tiny words on the paper with his eyes narrowed.

Not long after he finished reading, the Minister of Works ‘expression changed drastically, and his beard trembled. When he finished reading it, he let out a breath of relief and regained his calm and relaxed state.

After burning the paper figurines with candlelight, the Minister of Works returned to his bed. He looked at his sleeping concubine and muttered to himself for a moment. Then, he slowly picked up a pillow and covered the concubine’s mouth and nose …

…..

The next day, Ministry of Justice.

The Minister of Justice, who woke up early, came to the Yamen and personally went to the prison to inspect the night watchmen who were detained there.

There were a total of 46 night watchmen involved in the corruption case, from Jin Gong to Tong Gong, and they were all locked up in the Ministry of Justice.

According to the original rules, the three Yamen should each detain a section and interrogate them separately. However, the king’s party had lost two core members in the tax and silver case and were at odds with Wei Yuan. The Ministry of Justice was even more enthusiastic than the Qi party’s Supreme Court officials in adding insult to injury.

“The heavens are watching. Do you think you can escape the law by remaining silent?” The Minister of Justice sneered and shook his head.

“I have already checked your family property and drafted a Memorial. After his Majesty has read it, none of you can escape.

Of course, I’m still willing to give you a chance. Who ordered you to embezzle money and oppress the people? Is it Wei Yuan?”

No one answered him.
