187 A big case (1)

F * ck ... The old manager was not lying. This female ghost really looked like this ... Xu Qi ‘an was stunned.

However, he was not afraid. It was a natural reaction for an ordinary person to see a ghost in real life.

After all, he was a person who didn’t dare to go to the toilet after watching a horror movie. If he couldn’t hold it in, he would use a pulsating beverage bottle.

The female ghost in white looked at them in a daze for a moment. She seemed to have sensed the threat. The corners of her mouth split open to her ears, and black blood flowed out. She roared silently and pounced at the two.

At the bottom of the deep well, the yin Qi was several times stronger, which made Xu Qi ‘an’s skin have goosebumps.

I don’t know how to deal with vengeful spirits ... Just stab her with a knife ... Xu Qi ‘an gripped the hilt of his knife and planned to get ahead of Yan Caiwei, but the little beauty in the yellow dress pressed down on his hand and stopped him.

She made a few hand seals, and the Tai Chi fish in the middle of the Feng Shui plate started to spin. Xu Qi ‘an saw the ” GUI ” character in the heavenly Stem light up.

A black light rushed out of the feng shui compass, wrapped around the female ghost, and pulled her into the compass.

Yan Caiwei kept the feng shui compass and held it in her hand. She turned to smile at Xu Qi ‘an, then pointed to the bottom of the well and swam over.

The two of them explored the bottom of the well for a moment, but they found nothing.

“Huala ...” Xu Qi ‘an came out of the water. He had nowhere to borrow strength from, so he climbed up with his hands on the well. He turned around and said, ”

“Grab my leg!”

Oh, ” li Caiwei replied. She hugged Xu Qi ‘an’s legs and allowed him to carry her up.

Xu Qi ‘an tried to sense it.

“What did you just say?” Yan Caiwei did not hear him clearly.

“It’s nothing. Just climb up a little more. My pants are about to be pulled down by you. I still have a handle on top, enough for you to handle.”

Yan Caiwei searched hard, but she couldn’t find the evidence that Xu Qi ‘an had mentioned.

Coming out of the well, Xu Qi ‘an used her Qi to steam the wet well water. Yan Caiwei made a hand gesture and summoned an orange flame from a Feng Shui basin. She walked a few rounds around her body. The steam permeated the air but did not damage her clothes.

After her body felt cool again, li Caiwei said,”This is just an ordinary vengeful spirit.”

Just an ordinary vengeful spirit? Then how did she maintain it for so long ... Xu Qi ‘an frowned. His old manager had said that the haunted incident had been going on for more than two years.

Yan Caiwei’s next words cleared up his doubts. the well is connected to the undercurrent, and that’s where the aura of resentment in the well comes from. I’m guessing there’s a Yin vein underground.”

Xu Qi ‘an guessed that the yin vein was a Feng Shui term and nodded in realization. so your purification didn’t work, and the spells of the previous masters didn’t work, because they weren’t warlocks.

Yan Caiwei nodded her head vigorously to show that she was a Warlock. She was very proud. don’t keep this house. The yin vein is underground and the Feng Shui is extremely bad. You’ll be plagued with bad luck if you stay here for too long.”

“Why not? this house is cheap.” Xu Qi ‘an gave her a strange look. “Do you really think that I asked you to do something just to take a look? You have to help me with the Feng Shui.”

“That would be so tiring ...” Yan Caiwei’s face was bitter. It was already hard enough for her to learn alchemy every day. then you have to ...

“I understand that I have to eat more.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

This is more like it ... She pouted and jumped back onto the roof. She shouted, “”Send me to heaven.”

Do you want to stand side by side with the moon ... Oh, there’s no moon today. That’s fine! Xu Qi ‘an complained in his heart. He jumped onto the roof and placed his hands on the “small stool.”

Yan Caiwei jumped up and tapped the tip of her feet on his palm. Borrowing the terrifying strength of a warrior, her lithe body shot into the night sky like a sharp arrow.

During this process, she used the magical effects of the feng shui compass to summon wisps of wind to support her body and slow down her descent.

She activated her clear light eyes and looked down at the entire house. Then, she turned her head and observed the area around the house and the Feng Shui of the entire district.

Yan Caiwei floated down like a Fallen Leaf and frowned, that’s strange. The Feng Shui in this area is pretty good. Yin veins shouldn’t have formed here ...

Is it because your professional skills are too poor ... Xu Qi ‘an didn’t dare to complain, so he asked,”why don’t you take a look?” Or go back to the Directorate of Celestials and ask my senior brothers for help.”

“There’s no need for so much trouble.” Yan Caiwei waved her hand.”Let’s go directly to the psychic female ghost and empathize with her. Let’s see how she dies. If there are no clues, I’ll ask my senior brothers for help.”

“Hurry up, I still have things to do tomorrow.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

He was going to the Yamen to find Wei Yuan tomorrow. If his father was willing to help him, then everything would be fine. If his father didn’t care about him, he could only hide and find a chance to deal with the effects of the traitor.

And this house was the stronghold that Xu Qi ‘an had found for himself.

This place was haunted, and no one would usually come close. It was also not a place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gathered. It was some distance from the main street and was not an area that the patrolling Imperial Army and night watchmen paid attention to.

Yan Caiwei said,”the female ghost’s yin energy is too heavy. To empathize with her, one needs to endure the yin energy entering one’s body, which is not good for a woman’s body.” Martial artists have vigorous qi and blood, so there won’t be any side effects.”

“Alright!”

Yan Caiwei removed the feng shui compass and opened her mouth. The Tai Chi fish slowly turned and a ball of faint black mist was ejected, floating three inches above the surface of the compass.

The black mist was restless, but it couldn’t leave the feng shui compass. Every time, it would be bounced back to the top of the Tai Chi fish by the wall of clear light.

“Go!” Yan Caiwei flicked her finger.

The black mist shot out and hit Xu Qi ‘an’s forehead.

Xu Qi ‘an’s body turned cold. A chill ran down his spine. Then, he felt a thought full of hatred, madness, and fear.

This mass of will attacked his primordial spirit crazily, trying to control his body. Suddenly, the female ghost seemed to have sensed something and became very quiet ... No, he was trembling in fear.

This made Xu Qi ‘an give up the idea of suppressing the resentful spirit with his mind. He carefully sensed the consciousness of the female ghost.

Did she sense the existence of monk Shen Shu ... The monk was indeed in a deep sleep. Otherwise, he might have exterminated the female ghost ...

He wrapped the vengeful spirit with his will, and the two of them developed a sense of empathy. The next moment, strange scenes appeared one after another, like a movie.

The woman was the daughter of a rich family in Taikang County. Because of her beauty, many people came to propose to her. According to the normal trajectory of life, she would marry into a good family and live a stable life.

However, one trip changed her life. In a quiet alley, human traffickers took her by force and sent her to a big house in the capital.

There were many women like her living in the house.

They did the same thing, which was to sleep with the guests who came and went every night, and let them play with them.

...

They addressed each other as “Sir,” so they were obviously officials. The officials who had taken off their official robes were more brutal than beasts, wantonly playing with the women in the house.

The female ghost had served many adults. Her heart was filled with pain and resentment, but she was afraid of death, so she could only endure the humiliation.

Just like that, a few years passed, and she was fancied by a customer. She became that customer’s exclusive lover, and her situation became better.

The guest was called tamraha. He was a man of medium build, thick and strong, with a flat face and single eyelids.

The cause of her death was that she had accidentally overheard a conversation between ramlaha and an important figure.

The conversation involved words like ” Yunzhou “, ” artillery “, ” Machinery ” and so on.

There was a well of life transformation in the backyard of the mansion. Many women who had committed suicide or were tortured to death by the guests were buried in the well. After the woman was killed, she was also thrown into the well.

After she died, she turned into a malicious ghost, but she was trapped in the well. By chance, she followed the undercurrent at the bottom of the well and came here.

And nourished by the resentment overflowing from the undercurrent, it had survived until now, and its soul had not been destroyed.

In these memory fragments, Xu Qi ‘an saw many familiar faces, especially the conversation on the eve of the woman’s death. Through the woman’s vision, he saw the Big Shot who was talking to tamlaha.

The Minister of Works of the Qi party!

...

“Hu ...” Xu Qi ‘an opened his eyes and let out a breath of air.

This kind of empathy was really not something that humans should do.

At the same time, he was also affected by the hatred, pain, and despair of the female ghost.

Fortunately, he persisted in visualization every day to train his primordial spirit, and his willpower had greatly improved. If it were an ordinary person, he would probably suffer from depression or schizophrenia.

“There seems to be an unexpected gain ...” Chu Caiwei looked at him. During the period of empathy, she saw Xu Qi ‘an’s face repeatedly twist. Sometimes it was ferocious, sometimes it was painful, and sometimes it was angry.

Of course, these were not his emotions, but the woman’s. But what kind of experience could cause a woman to have so many negative emotions?

Chu Caiwei pointed her finger at Xu Qi ‘an’s forehead and pulled out the female ghost. She then sealed it in the feng shui compass.

‘That tamraha doesn’t look like a man of the Central Plains ...’ The people of the Western Region had high noses and deep eyes, while the barbarians of the southern border had blue eyes. The Northerners had dark skin and had the bloodline of ancient beasts, so their appearance was somewhat inhuman ... Tamraha was more like a person from the wizard God religion.

But how did the witchcraft cult have any relationship with the clouds Plains? Yunzhou was located Southeast of Da Feng. Although it was only a few words, it seemed that the Ministry of Works had been transporting advanced machinery to the foreign witchcraft religion or the clouds Plains.

this matter is related to treason. I have to report it to Wei Yuan immediately ... Thinking of this, Xu Qi ‘an made a long story short and told li Caiwei what had happened.

After hearing this, Yan Caiwei was very puzzled. they suffered so much when they were alive that their resentment doesn’t dissipate even after death. They might not become malicious ghosts, but if their numbers accumulate, their resentment will soar to the sky. If there was such a place in the inner city, the night watchmen would have discovered it long ago.

“We’ll talk about this later ... Oh, right, give me back my mirror.” Xu Qi ‘an said.

Now that he was about to make a contribution, he was no longer afraid of the so-called crime of “corruption and violation of the law,” so he naturally did not need to hand the mirror over to Yan Caiwei for safekeeping.

What a joke, there were more than nine hundred gold taels inside.

......

Xu Qi ‘an brought Yan Caiwei to the watchman’s Yamen. Along the way, they met the four gongs on duty and were stopped for questioning.

“It’s me,” he said. Xu Qi ‘an showed his waist tag.

“Lord Xu?”

Although they were of the same rank, Xu Qi ‘an was Wei Yuan’s number one servant, so the gongs did not dare to slight him.

“Why are you still wandering around outside? Today, the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court sent a large number of people to break into the Yamen and take away many of their colleagues.” A copper Gong said, ”

“It is said that you are also on the list, but you were not in the Yamen, so you escaped. Can’t you go home ...”

His meaning was obvious. You’re not planning to run away, are you?

“You’ve captured all those people?”

When Xu Qi ‘an asked, he found that Jiang Luzhong was one of the four golden gongs who had been arrested. Among the silver gongs, there were Li Yuchun, Min Shan, and Yang Feng’s Silver gongs that were under him.

Jiang Jinluo was a decent man. Even if he was greedy, it was only a small one. How did he get caught ... It’s because he’s on good terms with me, and that Zhu guy took revenge on him ... Brother spring is so f * cking miserable. He didn’t get the money and ended up in prison ...

Sure enough, the man surnamed Zhu had a target for his revenge. He targeted people close to Xu Qi ‘an, weakening the watchman and taking revenge on his enemy.

Lord Wei will definitely save them. This bunch of beasts in human clothing really think that we are easy to bully.

hey, you don’t say. Actually, all these years, no one has been clean ... historical

“Bah, li yinluo is clean, but she still went in.”

The three useless men were furious and complained in front of Xu Qi ‘an.

“I heard that His Majesty personally ordered the investigation. I’m afraid that Duke Wei will be in a difficult position. The atmosphere in the Yamen today is particularly fearful and silent.”

“There’ll be a way,” Xu Qian comforted her.

The three copper gongs shook their heads in a very pessimistic manner. They sighed and went on their patrol.

.....

Xu Qi ‘an returned to the Yamen and went straight to the noble spirit building. He was stopped by the guards at the bottom of the building.

Lord Wei is already resting. He won’t see anyone. This is the rule. The guards recognized Xu Qi ‘an, but it was late at night, so Wei Yuan was nowhere to be seen.

“I have something important to do, quickly go and pass the message.” Xu Qi ‘an said in a deep voice.

“Lord Xu, come again tomorrow.” The guard was very unyielding.

[ PS: these few chapters have to be foreshadowed, as well as to think about the plot that will lead to the foreshadowing in the future, so it’s written very slowly. This is also the reason why I’m stuck. ]
