I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 165 Key Clues (asking for monthly tickets)

Without Wei Wu saying anything, Yu Da was quick to help Sang Que take the things in Wei Wu's hand, picked up everything including the things on the ground, held them in his arms, and ran to Sang Que.

Wei Wu's eyes twitched, without any room for regret, he just flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

Yu Da said to Sang Que, "Here are two scapegoats, the ghost bracelet and your token. Take them first."

Sang Que had an expressionless face as he opened his shoulder bag. Yu Da put the things in with a laugh, leaving in his hand a black ruler as long as his forearm and a piece of wood as big as his palm.

Yu Da explained, "This ruler is a Taoist magic tool, the 'Tian Gang Ruler'. There are Taoist runes on all four sides of the ruler. It feels like it is made of dark wood. It can repel evil spirits, and if you keep it by your side, it can also absorb the power of evil spirits."

As he said that, Yu Da turned around and asked Wei Wu, "Master Wei, should your ruler be able to repel the evil spirits on the fourth floor?"

Wei Wu was so angry that he shouted, "Of course!"

Yu Da laughed and said to Sang Que, "Look at these cracks on the Tiangang Ruler. It shows that the Tiangang Ruler also has its limit. The more you use it, the weaker it will become until it breaks. You have to pay attention to this. And this."

Yu Da stuffed the ruler into the Sangque bag. The remaining piece of wood had a crack in the middle, which could be opened like a page of a book. Two strange-looking people were carved inside the wood, like evil spirits, one laughing and the other crying.

Yu Da's pupils trembled after seeing this, and Sang Que noticed it keenly, "What's wrong?"

"This is a magic trick called 'Lianlizhi'. This piece of wood is carved from the parts of two trees connected together. The method of use is..."

Yu Da paused.

"Use the blood of two people to smear the face of the villain, and then take the hair of the two people and wrap them together on the wood, and you can connect the lives of the two people together, so that the crying face can bear all the pain for the smiling face, including death."

In the Gui Dynasty, things like blood, hair, nails, and personal items were all necessary media for performing evil spells and curses.

Sang Que was also shocked after hearing this and couldn't help but look at Wei Wu.

He had a lot of stuff on him, but he was unwilling to take any risks to imprison the evil ghost. He also brought things like the 'Lianlizhi', which clearly showed that he wanted others to die for him at the critical moment.

How could such a person become the captain of Jin You? It shows how blind Cui Cheng is!
Wei Wu felt Sang Que's contemptuous gaze, but he still said confidently, "The life of a Day Traveler is much more important than the lives of ordinary people. At the critical moment, it is better to sacrifice an ordinary person in exchange for a Day Traveler who can solve the strange case. This is also to save more people."

Sang Que didn't want to talk, so she took the thing from Yu Da and put it in her bag.

She didn't want to leave the Evil Suppression Division for the time being. According to normal procedures, this strange case would be handed over to the Night Patrol Envoy sooner or later. If He Bu Ning couldn't come back, it would be delayed for a few days at most. Eventually, the matter would become a big deal, and the Day Patrol Captain Cui Cheng would definitely give a direct order for her to go.

So Sang Que had no way to escape, and he just threatened to resign just now just to get some money.

After all, the monthly salary of a night patroller is not worth her life.

Furthermore, she discovered some clues that others had not noticed, which would help in finding the source of the gambling addiction, which was why she dared to take on this case.

"come here."

Sang Que raised his knife and pointed it at Xue Er, then strode towards the gambling house opposite. The three behind-the-scenes bosses were still kneeling at the door of the gambling house. The entire entrance and exit of the gambling house was covered with talisman paper, and black dog blood and cinnabar were sprinkled on the outside.

Xue Er trembled all over, fearing that Sang Que would ask him to go into the gambling house together. However, Wei Wu glared at him, and Xue Er dared not disobey.

Yu Da smiled at Wei Wu and followed him.

Wei Wu looked at the backs of the men and snorted coldly, "You will have to spit out these things sooner or later, just wait and see!"

Across the road, Sang Que asked Xue Er.

"Are all the people associated with the gambling house here?"

Xue Er was completely convinced by Sang Que at this moment, and nodded hurriedly, "There were only three of them behind the gambling house, and the rest were a few thugs and the accountant, but they were all... killed by Master Wei."

Sang Que glanced at the corpses around her and frowned slightly, remembering what Yu Da had told her before, that many people would not tell the truth to the people in the Suppression of Evils Division because they were afraid of the Suppression of Evils Division's power to kill people at will.

But things had already been handled like this by Wei Wu, and it was no longer possible for her to use Yu Da's friendly approach to get the point across.

"How big are your feet, you three?" Hearing Sang Que's question, the three people who were kneeling and almost fainted looked up in confusion. Two of them were obviously wealthy masters who had lived a life of luxury for many years. They were plump and dressed in brocade clothes.

The other middle-aged man was thinner and looked a bit fierce, but facing Wei Wu, who had the power of life and death, he still had to kneel down obediently.

Sang Que casually stuck the Baisheng Knife into the pool of blood on the ground. She hadn't sucked blood from the Baisheng Knife for a long time. When she held the knife, she always felt hungry and thirsty, which was like the side effect of resuscitation, making her easily irritable.

There are so many corpses here. After a moment of silence, we make the best use of the mulberry trees.

Retracting his gaze, Sang Que pointed at the thinner middle-aged man and said, "Take off his shoes."

Xue Er didn't react, but Yu Da suddenly remembered something and immediately went up to take off the man's shoes. The man tried to resist, and Sang Que's knife was immediately pressed against his neck.

The shoes were taken off. Under Xue Er's puzzled gaze, Yu Da dipped the shoes in the pool of blood beside him, then pressed a mark on the open ground. Then he measured it with his hand, and retreated three steps in shock.

"It's you! It's you who left footprints in those houses in Buyi Lane!"

Hearing this, Xue Er thought that the man Yu Da mentioned was a ghost who controlled the Thousand-Faced Ghost, and he stepped back in shock.

Sang Que was quite speechless. These people were really something. When something happened, they would take a few steps back and had no adventurous spirit at all.

Besides, this person is not a ghost at all, and there is not even a trace of evil spirit on him.

Seeing that he was exposed, the man was so scared that his face turned pale and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He turned around and kowtowed to Sang Que.

"Please spare my life, sir. I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't lead the ghost away. This has nothing to do with me."

"Yuan Gui, you son of a bitch!" Wei Wu suddenly rushed out and wanted to scold the middle-aged man. Before he could finish his words, Sang Que suddenly looked over coldly.

"How about you come?"

This sentence choked Wei Wu's arrogance. He put down his foot that was about to kick someone, snorted coldly and stepped back.

Sang Que looked down at the trembling Yuan Gui, the knife still on his neck, "Tell me everything clearly."

"Yuan Gui, ah Yuan Gui, I didn't expect that this was all caused by you."

"You've caused us so much trouble!!"

The two middle-aged men nearby were wailing and cursing. They had suffered heavy losses because of this gambler who suddenly appeared.

Yuan Gui no longer dared to hide anything and hurriedly said, "I really have no choice. All my family wealth has been invested in the gambling house. Without the income from the gambling house, my whole family can't even pay the city tax. My two sons can't study and pass the imperial examination. If I don't spend money to bribe them, they will have to serve in the military and do corvee labor. They can't come back once they go!"

"Get to the point!" Sang Que whispered.

"Yes, yes, let me get to the point. That night, I was watching over the casino. I was too tired and fell asleep. I was woken up by a gust of cold wind. When I woke up, I found that there was no one in the casino. Then I saw a ragged man pushing the door and leaving. I was also bewitched by a ghost at the time, and I followed him."

"Then I saw that gambler coming to Buyi Lane, and he...he killed those people. I was really afraid that the masters of the Evil Suppression Bureau would find the gambling house, so I...that's why I cut off the faces of those dead people and disguised myself as the Thousand-Faced God killing people."

"When did the gambler appear?" Sang Que asked.

"No...I don't know..."

As Yuan Gui finished speaking, a streak of blood flashed across his neck and a chill invaded his whole body. Yuan Gui raised his hand to touch his neck and felt blood.

Sang Que said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you one last time, when and where did the gambler appear?"

Sang Que placed the knife across Yuan Gui's neck and slowly applied force.

Gudong!

Yuan Gui swallowed his saliva in fear. "I'll tell you everything. It was a coffin, the coffin in the gambling house. The gambler crawled out of that coffin the night before yesterday! It was that guy Wu Renxing. He must have turned into a gambler!"

See you tomorrow~
