Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 307 Small talk (one more)
Xing Yun opened his mouth and blinked his eyes, trying to interrupt Wu Chen, but Wu Chen was talking excitedly:

"Yuan Niang must be carefully served by someone in the palace. I want to keep Yuan Niang's life while also raising the resentful soul. This balance was broken by me. Li Yi pushed Yuan Niang out in order to escape, and Yuan Niang fell ill the next day. Maybe the resentful soul heard someone chatting and told about Prince Cheng being imprisoned in the Investigation Department. She wanted to rush out of the mansion. It was not for no reason. She wanted to tear Prince Cheng apart!"

Xing Yun was dumbfounded.

Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself:
"It's a coincidence that I can always be one step ahead! Li Yi raised Yuan Niang for this day, but what he thought was that he was besieged. As long as Yuan Niang was released and Li Yi's name was called, Yuan Niang would go crazy and tear apart the officers and soldiers who besieged Li Yi. Just like the scene you saw just now, shooting arrows is useless, cutting off both arms is useful. But as long as the officers and soldiers besieging him are in chaos, Li Yi has a way to escape... He really even thought of the worst possibility."

"I'd better get you the wine naan first." After Xing Yun finished speaking, he hurried back to get the wine naan.

The children were already corpses, and it was difficult to pour blood into them. Taking advantage of Xing Yun's absence, he casually picked up a long sword, pricked his finger, and quickly rubbed some on each child's face, and then quickly retrieved all the jade stones and put them in his arms.

Xing Yun felt that it was only a matter of turning around, but when he looked back, the children had all fallen down, and Wu Chen was talking to the sky.

Xing Yun held the wine naan and hesitated for a moment, Wu Chen turned to him and shouted, "Go a few steps and throw it here!"

Xing Yun immediately followed suit.

Wu Chen caught Jiu Nang and said to the air:
"You have also seen my ability. It is easy to get you out, and it is not difficult to take you back. At that time, I can imprison you with jade, so that you will never be reincarnated."

While bragging, Wu Chen opened the lid of the wine naan, and suddenly, very suddenly, splashed Li Yi's blood on the shadows of those resentful souls in midair.

The ear-piercing wailing made Wu Chen want to plug his ears, and he asked loudly, "You guys have thought about it, I will definitely kill Li Yi, you all hide in the tree honestly, and you can leave when Li Yi dies, if you don't agree, I can make you die right now!"

The resentful souls no longer hesitated, and hid in the tree one after another. Wu Chen heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and shouted to Xing Yun, "Hurry up and tell the officials to torture Li Yi!"

Xing Yun hurriedly asked: "Aren't you coming back with us?"

"I'm going back, what should they do?" Wu Chen pointed to the trees: "The one in Yuanniang's body was tortured enough, when it left Yuanniang's body...it was nothing to be afraid of, but these differences are still fierce, I have to watch."

Xing Yun didn't dare to delay any longer, and ordered the other guards to return to the palace immediately with two carriages, while he stayed to accompany Wu Chen.

……

It was a pity that Wu Chen couldn't see the tragic situation of Prince Cheng. Just now, those children didn't look at the physical body, but just looked at the soul to know how much torture they had suffered. And these resentful ghosts, who were originally resentful to Li Yi, were actually used by Li Yi. Wu Chen had never seen the severity of their resentment before.

Xing Yun walked slowly to Wu Chen's side, and the two sat on the ground before Xing Yun asked, "Are they... scary?"

"What do you think? They were all killed by Li Yi, with extremely cruel means, and some of them are family members."

"what?!"

"The experience I have summed up is that what Li Yi wants to accomplish does not mean that one death will result in a resentful soul. People have different temperaments when they are alive, and it does not mean that they are all the same after death. Some people don't want to care about it, and Li Yi can't help it."

"You want to say, these resentful souls, these children... all stayed after dying for an unknown number of times?"

"Yes! That's why I advocate Ling Chi's execution of Li Yi. Of course, I can't say that to the outside world. No one saw it during the execution. I really can't understand the hatred if I don't cut him into pieces!"

Xing Yun nodded and asked again: "Why are these ghosts afraid of Li Yi's blood? Could it be because he is a relative of the emperor?"

Wu Chen snorted and said:

"It has nothing to do with the royal family. It's because Li Yi wanted to live forever and took a lot of elixirs, and these elixirs contained a lot of ore. Oh, how can I tell you, I guessed wildly. I didn't expect to guess right. Li Yi needs to consolidate yang energy in his body, and ghosts are yin, so his blood is naturally useful."

"Then I should tell the official to tell you to save more blood when Ling Chi..."

"How to save it?"

Xing Yun waved his hand and said:
"I don't understand what you're doing, but I just want to know, after you're sure that Li Yi is killed, and then send these resentful souls away, this treason case is considered to be over? There is no such thing in this world that they created...?"

"The case is definitely over, but I'm not sure if there are still these things in the world, so I'm going to leave Kyoto and go for a walk."

Xing Yun didn't speak, looked down and stood up abruptly, complaining: "You should choose a clean place to sit!"

Wu Chen looked around and said, "There is no clean place."

Xing Yun wanted to see the situation on the ground around him clearly, but it was too dark, so he had to stand and continue to complain: "I'm not talking about you, you can ask them to change a few trees to hide, why do you have to hide in the trees near here?"

"It's good if they are willing to go in. I can still choose a place? Hey, you talk more, and the one who doesn't come is the one who talks less. Do you two usually see each other?"

"Tell me, he doesn't talk to me, it's just that we don't have much time to see each other."

"Aside from the official and me, who else knows that Xing Yun is two people?"

Xing Yun shook his head and said, "No one knows, everyone who knows is dead."

Wu Chen stood up immediately: "What do you mean?"

"Nothing interesting, just telling the truth. You may be an exception. Hey, how will you tell them when Li Yi dies? Can they believe what you say?"

"Shouldn't you need to tell me?" Wu Chen walked up to the tree and asked loudly, "Li Yi will die in a while, can you feel it?"

Xing Yun took several steps back. Wu Chen's question reminded him that those resentful spirits in the tree can come out. He is injured now. Wu Chen said before that these resentful spirits can go to weak people. He didn't want to be slapped to death by Wu Chen.

After listening to Wraith Soul's answer, Wu Chen turned to tell Xing Yun, only to realize that Xing Yun had already retreated a long distance.

"What are you afraid of? They are all waiting to leave, they won't hurt anyone anymore, and they were all poor people when they were alive."

Xing Yun came back now, and asked as he walked, "Can they know whether Li Yi is dead or alive?"

"Yes! It can't be done any farther away, this location happens to be fine."
