"Phew! I finally made it in time! "
Wang Shiyuan pretended to wipe the sweat off his forehead, then turned around to smile at An Yongtu. "Your Highness, Caomin isn't late, is she?"
An Yongtu had never had a good impression of Wang Shiyuan, so he didn't say a word and turned his head to the side, treating Wang Shiyuan like air.
Governor An Youxian, who was still standing on the stage, saw Wang Shiyuan and remembered the matter of the Imperial Proclamation. His face immediately darkened and he shouted, "Wang Shiyuan! Where have you been these past few days instead of waiting for orders at the Governor's Mansion? "
Wang Shiyuan was already mentally prepared for An Youxian's anger, so he turned around and bowed. "Governor, this one went to the Capital a few days ago because of some personal matters and happened to see His Holiness posting the Imperial Proclamation. In order to share His Holiness' burden, this one boldly unveiled the Imperial Proclamation and received His Holiness' permission to come back with Jun Michinaga to investigate the case of the spiritual crystal mine. If the Governor doesn't believe me, you can ask His Highness An. This one is really here on the Emperor's orders to solve the case."
In order to appease An Youxian's anger, Wang Shiyuan kept mentioning His Holiness. This way, no matter how dissatisfied An Youxian was, he couldn't vent his anger. He could only wave his hand and say, "Stand to the side and wait for Jun Michinaga to finish!"
Wang Shiyuan could only cup his hands and step to the side.
Chen Qiang smiled and glanced at Wang Shiyuan, then continued to speak to the people outside, "Citizens, other than seeking justice for your loved ones and finding the murderer, the Poor Way has another important thing to do.
Your loved ones were murdered in one night, and the murderer's actions were heinous and hateful. However, the Poor Way knows that you don't want your loved ones to be unable to rest in peace after death!
Therefore, the Poor Way has to hold a ceremony for your loved ones in front of all of your loved ones, so that your loved ones' souls can rest in peace and transcend! "
Hearing Chen Qiang's words, the citizens were extremely excited!
From his words, it wasn't hard to tell that Chen Qiang didn't find it difficult to solve the case at all!
Moreover, Chen Qiang wanted to help their loved ones release their souls. This was a great merit!
"Taoist, thank you for your mercy!"
"If you can uphold justice for us and find the murderer, the murderer, this one, I will definitely make you a memorial tablet!"
Looking at the agitated faces of the victims' families below, Wang Shiyuan could not help but feel jealous. He muttered in a low voice, "They're just pretending to be mysterious! The death of a person is like the death of a lamp. How can there be expiation? If you have the ability, solve the case! "
"Shut up!" An Youxian was already angry with Wang Shiyuan. When she heard his voice, she couldn't help but glare at him.
Chen Qiang rolled his eyes at Wang Shiyuan and said calmly, "Mr. Wang, the Poor Way will definitely solve the case today and will even conduct an investigation in front of everyone. However, the dead are more important. Today, not only will the Poor Way find the real murderer, but he will also release the souls of the victims before the case is solved so that their souls can rest in peace. This will show His Holiness's love for the citizens. Do you understand?"
"Did you hear that?" An Youxian glared at Wang Shiyuan again. "This is Jun Michinaga's magnanimity! He's not like this greedy fellow who only cares about his own future and ignores his master's reputation! Hmph! "
After being reprimanded by An Youxian again, Wang Shiyuan finally became well-behaved.
It seemed that this Half-immortal Jun had said many bad things about him in the governor's residence. The more he said now, the more mistakes he would make. It was better to wait and see how this Half-immortal Jun would embarrass himself in front of everyone!
Ignoring Wang Shiyuan, Chen Qiang ordered the surrounding soldiers loudly, "Everyone, please open all the coffins!"
Under An Youxian's instructions, the soldiers obeyed and opened all the hundreds of coffins.
More than a month had passed. Although the coffins were stored in the cave where the temperature was relatively low, the corpses showed signs of decay after a long time. When the coffins were opened, a putrid stench immediately wafted into the air!
The soldiers behind the fence, as well as An Youxian and the rest, immediately covered their noses and mouths. As for Light Dust, An Yongtu, Liu Yifan, and Jiang Xiaofeng, they weren't affected much because they were in Light Dust's battle domain.
When they smelled the stench coming from the coffins, the families of the victims were overcome with grief and cried bitterly again!
After more than half an hour, when the voices of the commoners gradually died down, Chen Qiang walked down from the high platform and announced loudly, "Governor, these miners and soldiers have been dead for more than a month. The cause of their deaths is still undetermined. Poor Way believes that the deceased should receive a bow from you and me. What do you think, Governor?"
When An Youxian heard this, he could only follow Chen Qiang and bow to pay his respects to the deceased.
At the same time, Chen Qiang looked at Wang Shiyuan, who was standing there motionlessly. "Mr Wang, the deceased should be respected. Even the Governor doesn't care about his status. Does Mr Wang think that his status is higher than the Governor's?"
When Chen Qiang's provocative words left An Youxian's mouth, the originally unwilling An Youxian was instantly enraged!
"Wang Shiyuan! Kneel down! "
When he heard An Youxian's order, Wang Shiyuan's face turned green and purple. He looked at Chen Qiang as if fire was about to erupt from his eyes!
He was a dignified Combat Emperor, and he was also An Ruotian's master. How noble was his status? Yet, at this moment, he actually had to kneel before these lowly ants. This was simply a great humiliation!
However, the situation was more important than him!
If he showed any signs of abnormality, wouldn't he fall right into Chen Qiang's trap?
Wang Shiyuan had no choice but to half-kneel on the ground. At the same time, an extremely venomous voice sounded in Chen Qiang's mind.
"Half-immortal Jun! If I don't take revenge for this, I'm not human! "
After receiving Wang Shiyuan's soul transmission, Chen Qiang immediately retorted.
"Hehe … Jun Luoyu, right now, you know me, and I also know you. Today's show is still long, and this is just the appetizer. There will be even more exciting things coming up next!"
When the commoners outside the fence saw Chen Qiang lead the way in bowing to the corpses of their loved ones, and even the Governor bowed under Chen Qiang's lead, their impression of Chen Qiang improved!
After the ceremony, Chen Qiang walked to the nearest coffin. He bent down and reached into the coffin with both hands. He respectfully carried out one of the corpses and placed it on the coffin lid.
Then, under the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Chen Qiang did the same. One by one, the corpses were carried out by Chen Qiang personally. His movements were gentle, and his expression was calm and benevolent.
"Jun Michinaga, why don't I let the soldiers help you?"
An Youxian asked after a long while.
