Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 227 Witch Gu
"I ask you to answer. If you answer incorrectly or don't answer, I will crush one of your bones!" Jia Qiang ignored Ma Daopo's plea for mercy and continued calmly.

Ma Daopo felt her scalp numb, and her mind kept thinking about what she had done to provoke such an evil star.

She would not think that Jia Qiang was telling lies. The aura on Jia Qiang's body and the phenomenon that almost caused the energy in her body to collapse showed that Jia Qiang's identity was extremely noble, and she was still that kind of noble person. degree.

"You villain dare not lie!" Ma Daopo replied honestly.

"What kind of methods did you use in Jia Mansion to make Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu worse than death?" Jia Qiang asked.

When Ma Daopo heard that this was the reason, her inner fear became even more serious.

The Jia family is the most noble family she can come into contact with, and it is also a relationship she has gained with great difficulty.

It was by climbing into the Jia family that she was able to come into contact with other powerful families.

Does she know what she did in the Jia family, if the Jia family knew about it, it would be a life-threatening situation.

At this moment, she was already regretting that she had caused such a big trouble just for some money.

"I don't know what the adults are talking about!" Instinctively, Ma Daopo still wanted to quibble.

Jia Qiang nodded to Jia Gong. Jia Gong stretched out one hand and grabbed Ma Daopo's left little finger, pinching the first knuckle of the left little finger between his two fingers.

'Crack', with a sound, Ma Daopo let out a cry of pain.

It's a pity that no matter how much she screams, she can't alert the people nearby. Who knows that Tianshui'an is far away from other residents.

"The villain said it, the villain said it was the villain's witchcraft, but it was Aunt Zhao who asked me to do it!" Ma Daopo said repeatedly.

"How did you learn the art of witchcraft and Gu?" Jia Qiang then asked.

As for whether Aunt Zhao asked Ma Daopo to do it, it had nothing to do with him. What he needed was the 'witchcraft' that Ma Daopo said.

"The villain learned it from the book. The book is under the villain's bed!" Ma Daopo didn't dare to hide anything at this moment. She said what she wanted to say.

Jia Gong held Ma Daopo with one hand and raised the bed with the other.

As soon as the bed was lifted, flying needles as thin as cow hairs shot out.

The flying needles shot at Jia Gong's body, but they were rebounded and fell to the ground. Even the flying needles shot at Ma Daopo were easily blocked by him with his hands.

Although the flying needles shot out very quickly, in front of Jia Gong, this speed was enough for him to intercept the flying needles one by one.

When Jia Gong lifted the bed, Ma Daopo regretted it to death. She had not lived enough and had not thought about dying together with Jia Gong.

Her original intention was to let Jia Qiang look under the bed. As long as Jia Qiang was hit by a flying needle, the poison on the flying needle would be the confidence for her to survive.

With the antidote as a threat, she could ask Jia Qiang to let her go.

At this moment, she was even more horrified. Jia Gong was more powerful than she imagined. Even the flying needle could not break Jia Gong's defense. Although the flying needle was not a magic weapon, it had been refined by her. Even the most powerful person in the world could Even practice can't resist it.

Jia Gong picked up Ma Daopo's left little finger again, and this time crushed her second knuckle.

Jia Qiang also saw the box under the bed at this time, and he motioned to Jia Gong.

Amidst Ma Daopo's screams, Jia Gong picked up the box and opened it without any hesitation.

In fact, with Jia Qiang by his side, Jia Gong would be fine no matter what was in the box.

Not to mention Jia Gong's terrifying blood volume and his strong defense, as long as he didn't die on the spot, Jia Qiang could use the 'Healing Technique [Advanced]' to treat his injuries.

The box was opened, there was no mechanism anymore, and there was a shabby book inside.

Jia Qiang turned on the 'Qi Watching Technique' and saw the black energy rising from the worn book.

He shook his head and reached out to take out the old book.

The black energy indicates that the worn book has been processed through evil rituals and can be preserved for a long time. It can also pass on part of the evil in it, so that future generations can more easily practice the techniques in it.

Since he is strong himself, he can avoid the evil atmosphere in the worn-out book.

After reading the contents of the book, he was very disappointed.

I originally thought this was a method used by immortals, but in fact it was just some kind of evil way. Using the target's horoscope, or body hair, etc., you can curse the target.

The effect of the curse also depends on the target's own constitution. If the constitution is stronger, the effect will be weakened.

Therefore, the best target of this 'witchcraft' is women and children, and it is difficult for ordinary adult men to be effective.

"Where did you get this book?" Jia Qiang looked at Ma Daopo and asked.

"The villain saved a witch and got it from the witch!" Ma Daopo replied quickly, fearing that he would suffer if he spoke too late.

Jia Qiang just asked casually. He walked out of the room. When he came to the hall, he took out the 'Ping Kou Sword' and swept it in front of the statue of Mr. Masan, cutting the two straw men placed in front of the statue into two pieces.

This is the fastest way to crack the 'witchcraft' that he saw in the book just now, find the source and destroy the cursed straw man.

With a sword blow from his side, Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, who were in Rongguo Mansion, felt light and fell into a deep sleep.

The maid serving at the side was shocked at first. After asking the doctor to check, she realized that this was a good thing.

Not to mention that the Rongguo Mansion became lively due to the recovery of Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, Jia Qiang left Tianshui Temple with Ma Daopo.

When he left Tianshui Temple, he couldn't help but laugh to himself.

For Ma Daopo in Jia Gong's hands, he used a lineup that could kill an army of 100,000. If Ma Daopo knew about it, he might feel very honored.

He did not kill anyone, but sent Ma Daopo to Dali Temple.

This kind of case involving the Duke's government can increase Lin Ruhai's performance.

Anyway, no matter whether Ma Daopo was killed by him or sent to Dali Temple, she would die alone in the end.

The difference is whether to die immediately or to be executed later in life.

Because it was Jia Qiang who sent him to Dali Temple, even though it was night, the yamen who stayed behind in Dali Temple still paid great attention to it. After knowing that Ma Daopo had some tricks, he tied Ma Daopo tightly and put him in heavy shackles.

The so-called heavy yoke is a shackle weighing one hundred and fifty kilograms. This kind of heavy yoke is mainly used by Jianghu people.

Under the heavy yoke, it was difficult for the prisoner to move, let alone do anything.

After Ma Daopo was heavily shackled, the only thing she could do was to lie on the ground. Except for her lower body, she could not move her head or upper body.

The next day Lin Ruhai interrogated Ma Daopo. Under the punishment of Dali Temple, Ma Daopo told everything she had done, including using "witchcraft" to make money against Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu of the Jia family.

Lin Ruhai came to Rongguo Mansion in person and sent a greeting card. Both Jia She and Jia Zheng received the news and came to the gate to greet him.

The reason why they are so enthusiastic is that, on the one hand, they borrowed hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from Lin Ruhai's family to build the Grand View Garden, and on the other hand, Lin Ruhai is also the most powerful among the Jia family's in-laws.

Originally, the most powerful among the in-laws was Wang Ziteng, but now Wang Ziteng is no longer what he used to be. He only has the rank of a first-grade official and does not hold any real power.

Jia She and Jia Zheng welcomed Lin Ruhai into the Hall of Rongxi. Jia's mother was also happy when she saw Lin Ruhai.

"Ruhai, why don't you see Min'er coming with you?" Jia's mother asked after Lin Ruhai greeted her.

Since the Yuanchun Provincial Provincial Party, the Jia family felt that their status as relatives of the emperor had been improved. However, after that time, Jia Min rarely went to Rongguo Mansion, and Lin Daiyu never came. That's why Jia Mu asked this question. .

"Old lady, Ruhai is here for official business this time!" Lin Ruhai would not say it clearly, he explained.

"Business? What's the official business between the mansion and Dali Temple?" This time it was Jia Mu's turn to be surprised.

"I came here because Wang Xifeng and Baoyu were possessed by demons!" Lin Ruhai replied.

When Jia Mu heard that it was about her two most precious people, she couldn't help but stand up.

"But we found out who harmed Baoyu?" She was also very knowledgeable, so she guessed that the situation between the two of them was abnormal at that time. When she heard Lin Ruhai's words, she quickly asked.

"Yes, Brother Qiang sent Ma Daopo to Dali Temple yesterday. Ma Daopo admitted to dozens of cases, including using witchcraft to kill Wang Xifeng and Baoyu!" Lin Ruhai nodded.

"It's Ma Daopo, this evil woman. Fortunately, the Jia family treated her well, she actually did such a thing!" Jia Mu said angrily.

You must know that in order to save Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu from disaster, Jia's mother donated five kilograms of oil every day to light the sea lantern to save Baoyu from disaster, all of which was given to Ma Daopo.

How could she not be angry when she learned that she had been cheated and that her baby had suffered.

"But Brother Qiang caught Ma Daopo last night?" Jia Zheng asked at this time.

"Exactly!" Lin Ruhai replied.

"It turns out that Brother Qiang saved Baoyu!" Jia Zheng said with gratitude.

In terms of time, Baoyu recovered last night, which coincided with the time when Jia Qiang caught Ma Daopo.

"Prepare a heavy gift and send it to Jiahou Mansion. Mr. Zheng will go there in person!" Jia Mu ordered.

In her mind, in addition to thanking Jia Qiang for saving Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu, she also wanted to take this opportunity to ease the relationship with Jia Qiang.

Obviously they have the same surname, Jia, and the same clan, but because Jia Qiang was expelled from the Jia family in the capital, the two families had almost no contact.

Lin Ruhai shook his head helplessly. If he had known this would happen, he would not have said that it was Jia Qiang who caught Ma Daopo, which would cause trouble for Jia Qiang.

He knew that Jia Qiang did not want to have contact with the Rongguo Mansion. This could be seen from the fact that the servants of the Jiahou Mansion never had contact with the servants of the Rongguo Mansion.

"One more thing, Ma Daopo confessed that it was Aunt Zhao of your mansion who used money to ask her to take action!" Lin Ruhai continued.

"Beat her to death, beat her to death quickly, we can't keep such a thing in the house!" Jia Mu said angrily.

No wealthy family would let "witchcraft" happen in their own home. Tens of thousands of people died as a result of the "witchcraft disaster" during Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands more were implicated.

When the 'witchcraft' was mentioned later, everyone's expression changed. No wonder Mother Jia was so angry when she heard that Aunt Zhao was involved in this matter.

Jia Mu was not only doing it for Jia Baoyu, but also because the "witchcraft incident" in Rongguo Mansion was introduced into the palace, which would inevitably affect Yuanchun.

There is someone in Yuanchun's family who practices witchcraft. There is no need to confirm whether Yuanchun can also practice witchcraft. Just suspicion may make Yuanchun irrecoverable.

"Come here, tie up Aunt Zhao and lock her up in the wood room!" Although Jia Zheng was disgusted with Aunt Zhao's behavior, he did not want to beat Aunt Zhao to death just like this, so he ordered loudly.

I just want to wait for Mother Jia to calm down and then give Aunt Zhao a way to survive.

"Ruhai, I have something to ask you!" Jia Mu glared at Jia Zheng, then turned to Lin Ruhai and said.

"Old lady, please tell me if you have something to do. If Ruhai can do it, I will do my best!" Lin Ruhai didn't dare to vouch for it. He didn't want to get involved in the Jia family's affairs.

"I want to ask Ruhai to conceal Aunt Zhao's affairs, and Aunt Zhao will be punished by the palace!" Jia Mu stood up tremblingly, bowed to Lin Ruhai and begged.

"What are you doing, old lady? You're trying to break me!" Lin Ruhai hurriedly stepped forward to support her.

Jia Mu insisted on saluting, looking like she was upset if Lin Ruhai refused.

"Old lady, I won't record Aunt Zhao's matter!" Lin Ruhai responded helplessly.

"Thank you Ruhai!" Jia Mu then straightened up and sat back on the chair. She ordered the mandarin duck beside her: "Bring me my sparrow gold fur!"

Yuanyang entered the back room and came out soon holding a cloak made of peacock feathers.

Mother Jia took the bird's golden fur, a look of reminiscence flashed in her eyes.

This bird's gold fur was originally intended to be left to Jia Baoyu, but this time he forced it on Lin Ruhai. If he didn't show his sincerity, the future friendship between the two families might be affected.

"This is a reward from the old prince. The tribute from the Russian country in the north has been locked in the cabinet. It is better to give it to that girl Yu'er!" Jia Mu said with a smile and handed the golden fur to Lin Ruhai.

"I'd like to thank you on behalf of Yu'er!" Lin Ruhai took the bird's golden fur and bowed.

He was not much surprised by this golden bird.

He had seen it before. When he was in Jiangnan, he dealt with some of the richest people in Daqian. At the same time, his own net worth was also very rich.

In real terms, it's hard to say who is richer, Rongguo Mansion or Lin Mansion.

The most important thing was that he knew why Jia Mu took out the golden fur, it was because of Aunt Zhao's case.

After accepting the golden fur, Lin Ruhai didn't stay much longer. He quickly left Rongguo Mansion on the grounds that he was busy with official duties.

In Rongguo Mansion, Aunt Zhao was imprisoned for three days. Three days later, Jia Mu asked her maid to deliver a bowl of ginseng soup.

That night, Aunt Zhao died and was hastily buried. Aunt Zhao died silently, as if there had never been such a person in the Jia family.

The only one crying was Aunt Zhao's biological son Jia Huan. However, without Aunt Zhao's protection, Jia Huan would be very sad in the future in the mansion.

The other person who cried secretly was Jia Tanchun. Even if she looked down on Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhao was still her biological mother.

Lin Ruhai did not mention Aunt Zhao in the case. As for Ma Daopo, after several severe punishments, she just breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, instead of waiting for Qiu Zhan, the cabinet took heavy action on the 'witchcraft case', but Ma Daopo was beheaded ten days later.
