Yin Fu Daojun

Chapter 78 The Truth
As soon as Xie Duan said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of Butcher Jiang, and now he cast his gaze over with a gloomy expression.

"Who are you? Do you also want to excuse him?"

Xie Duan took his time, stepped forward slowly, and chuckled lightly.

"My lord, if you say he is a murderer, you must have evidence!"

Hearing this, Jiang Butou was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed.

"When I bring him back to the Yamen for trial, there will naturally be evidence. If he is really innocent, why are you afraid to follow me to the Yamen?"

He had a determined look on his face, obviously there was no room for negotiation.

Xie Duan's brother-in-law, whether it's Shanyin County or Changshan County, dare not say that it is completely fair and clear, at least they will handle the case according to the evidence.

The criminal was convinced and confessed to the crime before the case was closed.

Arriving here, from the time Xie Duan went to the yamen yesterday to hand over the house deed and the land deed, he could see that officials in the yamen, no matter how big or small, are all mercenary. The case turned out to be the same.

How dark the Yamen in Houguan County should be!
No wonder the coachman resisted so much and refused to go.

"Mrs. Wang, dare I ask who is this person from your family?"

Seeing the contempt on Xie Duan's face, Catcher Jiang couldn't help asking Mrs. Wang next to him. Although his tone was polite, his inner dissatisfaction could not be concealed, and Xie Duan could hear it.

"He's my cousin's brother-in-law, so he's an in-law."

Mrs. Wang also knew that the matter was of great importance, so she dared not hide anything.

Knowing that they are related, Jiang catches his breath.

The Wang family has a great career and a deep local background. In addition, the two generations of ancestors still have some contacts in the officialdom. Even the county magistrates have to give them three points of face, which is really not easy to offend.

Although the family members are dead, it is still not something they can afford.

"Since I'm an in-law of the royal family, I don't have the same knowledge as you."

Jiang Bu snorted coldly with a smirk, and ignored it.

But it would be inappropriate for them to catch innocent people by mistake and take the blame for that monster, and I happen to know the truth, so how can I stand by and watch.

"My lord, since there is no evidence, how can you take people indiscriminately! Everyone knows that killing people will pay for their lives. If he is really a murderer, why does he stay here stupidly, waiting for you to catch him?"

Xie Duan did not stop there, but continued to speak.

"Moreover, please take a good look at Master Wang's wound. There is a blood hole in the chest cavity, which is extremely irregular, and there are five finger marks around the wound. It is obvious that someone dug out his heart and died!"

"Look at this man again. With this appearance, is he extremely powerful? Or a master of martial arts? Does he have the ability to dig out people's hearts with his bare hands?"

These remarks made some people around talk a lot, they all work in the same mansion, they actually know each other very well.

Just because they are officials and they are servants, how dare they disobey them?
Seeing this scene, Jiang Butou was suddenly a little annoyed.

"I said you're never finished, boy, but this head arrester didn't care about you because of Mrs. Wang's face. How dare you be so ungrateful. If you don't let me go, be careful that I will arrest you too."

With cold eyes, he came directly to Xie Duan.

Xie Duan smiled wryly, feeling a little helpless in his heart.

"What kind of people are raised by the government, that's all, I don't bother to argue with you!"

He ignored Jiang Butou, but came to Mrs. Wang.

"I made a thousand wishes before my pillow, and if I want to rest, I will wait for Qingshan to die. Madam, do you still remember this poem?"

Xie Duan read out such a poem word by word.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately looked surprised, she nodded slightly, full of doubts.

"This poem...how can Mr. Xie know about it?"

This poem was written to her by the master before his death, and only the two of them knew about it before, and never told it to outsiders, but now Xie Duan read it very clearly, how could she not be surprised.

"Master Wang asked me to apologize to his wife for him. He said that he had done something wrong, that he was sorry for Madam, and wanted to beg her to forgive him! In addition, the real murderer of Master Wang was not a human being, but a demon."

He no longer hesitated, and simply told the truth.

As soon as these words came out, several servants and maidservants sighed for a while, and even many yamen servants showed surprise on their faces. Mrs. Wang was reminded in an instant, as if she had thought of something.

"Evil spirits harm people? It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous. If all the murders are blamed on evil spirits, what do you want the government to do?"

Jiang Butou couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling extremely absurd.

But this time, without Xie Duan speaking, Mrs. Wang took the initiative to speak, looking at Xie Duan with regret and asking.

"Master Xie, my master...was really murdered by a demon?"

Xie Duan looked serious and nodded seriously.

"To tell you the truth, Ma'am, Xie knows some strange skills, and can see things that ordinary people can't see. Yesterday, the ghost of Mr. Wang came to the door, so I knew about it."

It doesn't matter whether others believe it or not, as long as Mrs. Wang believes, then the matter can be discussed. After all, with the financial power of the Wang family, even a small captor would not dare to turn against them.

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help being deeply shocked.

Three become tigers.

If one person says that his husband is infected with evil spirits, it can be regarded as having ulterior motives, but if two people say the same thing, they have to think carefully.

What's more, Xie Duan's ability to accurately utter that line of poetry made her doubtful. After these days, Xianggong is indeed too abnormal.

In addition, the old Taoist who met at the market yesterday, once bluntly said that her husband's death was imminent and she didn't realize it, so it just happened to be what he said now?

She was stunned for a moment, and didn't hesitate any more. She told Xie Duan everything about meeting the old Taoist priest on the street yesterday. Not wronged.

I haven't entered the Tao yet, and I'm not a Taoist priest, so it's fine if he doubts what he said, but the old Taoist priest who is serious and honest wants to save his life, but he also refuses, isn't this a proper way to seek death!
However, from Mrs. Wang's words, Xie Duan also had a rough guess about the old Taoist priest, presumably they met an expert.

"Mrs. Wang, according to what you said, the old Taoist priest lives in Qingdi Temple. I think he can see that Mr. Wang is infected with evil spirits, so he must be a master of Taoism. You can invite him to come and discuss together. countermeasures."

The monster disappeared without a trace, with only Xie Duan's strength alone, I'm afraid it will be impossible to find out its hiding place. If there is that old Taoist priest to help, there may be hope to eradicate this harmful creature monster.

When Madam Wang heard this, she also felt reasonable and nodded.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't believe him and instead believed him, Jiang Butou was immediately annoyed, and his original amiable image turned gloomy.

"Mrs. Wang, since you believe that evil spirits have harmed your master, you shouldn't come to report to the officials. Where does this leave us?"

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang turned around slowly and saluted him.

"My lord, calm down!"

She then looked at the second uncle who was standing aside, the man understood something, stepped forward and asked softly.

"Sister-in-law, do you really believe it was the work of a demon?"

He gave Xie Duan a meaningful look with doubts on his face.

"I'm not sure, but what the old Taoist priest mentioned yesterday was true, and it turned out to be what he said! In addition, Wang Gui has been in my residence for several years. He is honest and simple, and he has never complained. How could he Might it hurt the master?"

Hearing this, the man thought for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Don't be upset, my lord. It's because we didn't think carefully and didn't figure out the situation. The villain is here to apologize to you!"

He turned to Jiang Butou, said, took out two ingots of silver from his bosom, stuffed them into his hands, and bowed his hands at the same time to apologize.

Seeing Yinzi, Jiang Butou's expression softened immediately.

"Since that's the case, for your sake, don't worry about it!"

But then, he turned his attention to Xie Duan.

"However, since you said that it was the evil spirit, I am a little curious. What does the evil spirit look like? What is it capable of? I really want to open my eyes."

Xie Duan made him lose face in front of everyone, so naturally he couldn't swallow it easily, even if he took the money, he was still not ready to give up.

In fact, with the protection of the Wang family, as long as it is not a felony of murder and treason, he has nothing to do with Xie Duan. There is no doubt about what kind of calculation this move is.

For this, Xie Duan just laughed it off and ignored it.
