Although he didn't know what Chen Qiang's intentions were, in his opinion, Chen Qiang was a figure of the same generation as the Lord Creator. How could he let Jun Michinaga do such a dirty and smelly job himself?
However, Chen Qiang shook his head solemnly. "Thank you, Governor, for your kind intentions.
However, in order to express your sincerity and to better appease these deceased souls so that they can rest in peace, the Poor Way must show the greatest respect for these lives. Only then can you achieve what you wish for. Therefore, the Poor Way must personally move their bodies out. "
Hearing Chen Qiang's words, the commoners outside had a much better impression of Chen Qiang. There were even commoners who saw their loved ones being carried out by Chen Qiang. They immediately knelt on the ground and sobbed silently.
"Act! Act well! I want to see how you're going to solve the case after this show is over! I'll let you enjoy the limelight now. Let's see how you're going to explain it later! "
Seeing Chen Qiang trying to win the hearts of the people and acting like an award-winning actor, Wang Shiyuan roared crazily in his heart. However, on the surface, he maintained a submissive expression.
There were hundreds of corpses. Chen Qiang had to personally move them out one by one. This wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time.
Soon, the sky darkened. Without needing Chen Qiang to say anything, An Youxian had already ordered people to light a circle of bonfires in the surroundings, illuminating the night sky as bright as day!
It wasn't until midnight that all the corpses were moved out of the coffins by Chen Qiang.
After doing all this, Chen Qiang held the horsetail whisk in his left hand, and a copper bell suddenly appeared in his right hand. His body suddenly soared into the air, and he kept shaking the copper bell above the corpses while he muttered something.
"Taishang's edict, surpass your lonely soul; ghosts and demons are everything, four lives are indebted to you; those with a head surpass, those without a head live; spear, saber, kill, diving into the water and hanging on a rope; death in the open or in the dark, death in the unjust; creditors and enemies, death in the unjust; kneeling in front of my platform, the Eight Trigrams shines; Zhanru leaves. Reincarnate elsewhere; be it a man or a woman, you bear the responsibility; be rich, be noble, be poor, you summon yourself; order is waiting for the masses, urgently reincarnate; order is waiting for the masses, urgently reincarnate; order is waiting for the masses, urgently reincarnate! "
Following Chen Qiang's incantation and the shaking of the copper bell in his hand, countless specks of light suddenly appeared in the dark night, lingering around Chen Qiang like fireflies, flying back and forth around Chen Qiang, unwilling to leave for a long time!
Seeing this strange scene, the commoners outside the fence all stared with their eyes wide open and whispered from time to time.
"The Taoist priest is indeed remarkable. Looks like our Huan 'er has hope of reincarnating!"
"My husband! Although you died unjustly, the Taoist priest Half Immortal is helping you to reincarnate. Later, he will find the murderer to seek justice for you. If your spirit is in heaven, quickly reincarnate! "
"Father, are you back? I've missed you so much! If Father's spirit is in heaven, please give me a dream and let me know who did this to Father! "
"Big brother! I know you died unjustly, but now that the Taoist priest Half Immortal is helping us to seek justice, big brother can rest in peace! "
Amidst the prayers of the commoners, the specks of light around Chen Qiang gradually dissipated, and Chen Qiang descended from the sky.
After calming himself down, Chen Qiang walked to the fence and said to the commoners, "Commoners, the Poor Way did not disappoint you. I've finally completed the reincarnation of your loved ones. I believe that they have already gone to reincarnate. You can also relax a little."
"Thank you, Taoist priest!" Hearing this, the commoners were moved to tears. They all knelt on the ground, expressing their most sincere gratitude to Chen Qiang.
In the eyes of An Yongtu and An Youxian, Chen Qiang's actions were just a trick to deceive them.
To the commoners, those specks of light were just a simple use of the spiritual energy in Chen Qiang's body.
However, at this time, they could not take the initiative to expose Chen Qiang.
After all, Chen Qiang's little trick had at least temporarily appeased the agitated family members of the deceased. This alone was enough for An Youxian to breathe a sigh of relief.
These days, the family members of the deceased had become more and more emotional because of the unsolved case. If they were not appeased properly, it was very likely that there would be a small-scale civil unrest. If that really happened, his position as the Governor of Xushui would be awkward!
However, unlike An Youxian, Wang Shiyuan, who had been swallowing his anger for a long time after seeing Chen Qiang's clumsy performance, finally found a chance to speak up. He placed his hands behind his back and said sarcastically, "Jun Michinaga, is the performance over? Don't forget that we're not here to watch you put on a show! His Highness An is here on behalf of His Holiness this time. We'll see how you solve the case! "
An Yongtu did not like Wang Shiyuan, but this time, he did not refute Wang Shiyuan's words. Instead, he looked quietly at Chen Qiang.
No matter what, Wang Shiyuan was right. He was here on behalf of An Qingyuan as a witness.
If Chen Qiang could not solve the case, he would still report it to the authorities!
"That's right, Jun Michinaga. No matter what, you're here on behalf of His Holiness to investigate the tragedy of the spiritual crystal mine. Since the matter of expiating the souls of the deceased is over, I hope that Jun Michinaga can help with the investigation. Find the murderer as soon as possible and give the commoners an explanation."
An Youxian was observant. When he saw that An Yongtu was not speaking up for Chen Qiang, he agreed with Wang Shiyuan and brought the topic back on track.
The surrounding commoners were also anxious to find out who the murderer was. However, because Chen Qiang had expiated the souls of their loved ones, their respect for Chen Qiang had reached a new height!
One of the family members of the deceased took the lead and said, "Taoist Priest Half Immortal, we've all seen your remarkable powers. We believe that you'll definitely seek justice for us. Don't you think so?"
"That's right, Taoist Priest. We all believe in you. Please find the murderer for us!"
After coldly observing the reactions of the various parties, Chen Qiang swung his horsetail whisk and smiled at the crowd. "Commoners, Poor Way has promised His Holiness that he'll investigate the case thoroughly.
Poor Way is a man of his word. Now, I can tell you that Poor Way has already investigated the cause and effect of this case thoroughly! "
When Chen Qiang said this, the commoners did not react in time.
After all, ever since they knew Chen Qiang, they had not seen him do anything. He had only expiated the souls of their loved ones. How could he have investigated this strange case thoroughly in just a few words?
Before the crowd could react, Wang Shiyuan, who had been waiting for Chen Qiang to make a fool of himself, burst out laughing.
"Haha! What a joke! Prince An, did you see that? Jun Michinaga has clearly committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor! "
