It wasn't easy to bring a living person out of Fu Shun City, so Zhou Qingfeng had a plan from the beginning — to let the Human-Faced Demon pretend to be the person he wanted to interrogate and appear in public for a few days to buy some time.
The Human-Faced Demon was very weak in a head-on fight. It didn't even have cultivation or spiritual energy, so it couldn't cast spells. It could only use sneak attacks. However, turning into black smoke and entering through walls were its instincts, and shapeshifting was its best ability. It could impersonate all the people it had seen before. As long as it wasn't a powerful person, normal people wouldn't be able to tell.
With such a monster as his subordinate, Zhou Qingfeng thought that he might as well take over the real Han Gui's place. He locked the real Han Gui in the room for interrogation and injured his Dantian so that he could no longer circulate his Qi and cast spells. If necessary, he could gag his mouth or knock him out. The fake 'Han Gui' was swindling people outside. This identity of a constable should not be wasted. Come to think of it, it was quite useful.
The only problem was ….
The next morning, the servants of the Han Family woke up late. When they hurriedly went to serve their master, they found their master sitting in the courtyard, covering his mouth with a pained expression. The servants didn't know what was going on and hurriedly asked. But 'Master Han' couldn't speak despite shouting. He looked like he had something to say.
Just then, a doctor's voice came from the door.
"Thirty years of magic hands, treating difficult and complicated diseases, nameless illnesses, and a good recipe passed down from generation to generation to save the world. If you can't cure it, you don't have to pay! "
'Old Master Han' hurriedly pointed his finger outwards and cried out. The servants understood. He was sick and needed to find a doctor.
When the door opened, an old doctor walked by.
The hale and hearty Old Man Sun held a tattered banner with the words' magic hands' and smiled kindly. The old man was old, but he had a kind face. He looked like a highly skilled doctor. The servants invited him in to be treated by their master. Old Man Sun took a few glances and sighed. "Your master has an acute disease and can't speak."
Wasn't that obvious? Even a blind man could see it.
"I have a good prescription that can temporarily relieve the pain of your Old Master." Old Man Sun shook his head and said, "It's just that your master's illness is a bit strange. If you want to cure it, I'm afraid you need to observe it for a few more days."
When the servants heard that there was a cure, they were naturally happy. 'Old Master Han' also held onto Old Man Sun's hand and didn't let go, his face full of pleading. Therefore, the old master first performed acupuncture, and soon, 'Old Master Han' suddenly opened his throat and said, "Aiyaya, I can speak now."
The voice was very loud, and the tone was very strange. It startled the servants. But after a while, 'Old Master Han' became speechless again, and Old Man Sun had to use his miraculous hands again. However, after each treatment, 'Old Master Han' could only say one sentence.
"What's going on with me?"
"Why did you stop after just one sentence?"
"What's wrong with him?"
Every sentence was very loud, and the tone was very different from 'Old Master Han's' usual tone. The servants and maids all felt that it was strange. In the sealed hall of the courtyard, Zhou Qingfeng and Xu Bing were looking outside through the translucent screen window. Xu Bing asked Zhou Qingfeng, "How did you make that mute demon speak?"
Zhou Qingfeng laughed and said, "I have a magic tool that was transformed from an 'electric loudspeaker'. Not only can it amplify sound, it can also record and play. I specially recorded a few strange words. After that magic tool is filled with spiritual energy, I placed it on the Human-Faced Demon's body. It only needs to press a few times and it will play the sound. I plan to record some normal words when necessary, and it should be able to fool some ordinary people. "
In the courtyard, Old Man Sun cooperated and pretended to be surprised. He frowned and said, "Your family's master's illness isn't a normal one. It seems like …"
As he said that, Old Man Sun pulled the servants to the side and asked in a low voice, "Did your master do something bad? He looks like he's being haunted by a vengeful spirit. This illness isn't easy to cure. And I think this vengeful spirit is very fierce. It seems like it's here … "
Old Man Sun probably wanted to say something, so he raised his head and looked around the courtyard. Then he hurriedly packed his medicine box and wanted to leave. The servants and maids were so scared by his flustered appearance that they broke out in a cold sweat. They naturally knew what kind of person their master was. He was a person who committed all sorts of crimes and committed all sorts of crimes. The number of people he killed was uncountable, so it was normal for vengeful spirits to come to his door.
The more Old Man Sun wanted to leave, the more the servants pulled him back. 'Old Master Han' even stepped forward and put on an air of authority, wanting him to be cured. The old man could only bitterly smile, saying that his medical skills were too low and he really couldn't cure him. He only had one idea, "This vengeful spirit thing is too strange. Normal cultivators can't deal with it. We need to find the Barbarian Shamans to do some spiritual healing."
The Barbarian Shamans … But where could they find them?
The servants and maids were all frowning. 'Old Master Han' firmly held onto Old Man Sun, not letting him go. With this kind of stalemate, the day passed just like that.
And when the servants went out to buy some vegetables, they spread the news that 'Han Gui's master was haunted by a vengeful spirit and couldn't speak because of a mouth disease'. The people in the city all applauded and cursed Han Gui behind his back. No one sympathized with him at all.
When night fell, 'Old Master Han' stayed alone in the main hall of the courtyard. The doors and windows were tightly shut, and no one was allowed to approach. When night fell, 'Old Master Han' could be heard shouting in the main hall, "Help me, help me!" Following that, there was the sound of tables and chairs falling over and crashing.
The main hall was dimly lit, and all kinds of people were moving about, but 'Old Master Han' was nowhere to be seen. The servants and maids living in the side rooms were all scared out of their wits. Following that, there was even the sound of a woman laughing and a man cursing. This sound wasn't just limited to the courtyard, even the neighbors in the surrounding area could hear it. Following that, black smoke came out of the main hall, turning into all kinds of malicious spirits.
The servants were so scared that they rushed out of the side room and ran away. The maids immediately fainted, paralyzed in the room. The neighbors in the surrounding area were all terrified. They trembled in fear the whole night, praying to the gods and Buddha until dawn.
When the next day, the servants gathered their courage and came back, they saw their master sitting in the courtyard, unable to speak. On the ground were the two henchmen of yesterday who had disappeared without a trace.
Old Man Sun was actually still there. He explained, "Yesterday, the evil spirits came. Fortunately, this old man knows a bit of exorcism and managed to save your master's life. It's just that these two henchmen became scapegoats. Sigh … How pitiful! I don't know who will die next time. "
How could the servants and maids in the house dare to stay? They all knelt down and kowtowed, begging to leave quickly.
'Old Master Han' actually showed mercy and waved his hand to let these pitiful people go.
After the servants and maids left, the matter of Old Master Han Gui being haunted by a vengeful spirit and implicating his henchmen became a hot topic in the city. This matter was narrated with great detail. The neighbors in the surrounding area all jumped out to testify, saying that they really saw an extremely powerful evil spirit come to Han Gui's house.
Yesterday, Constable Han's subordinates found it strange that their boss would be haunted by a vengeful spirit. Some of the bailiffs in the city came to visit, but they were all chased away by 'Old Master Han'. Now that someone had died and a scapegoat had appeared, no one would come to visit the unlucky Han Gui anymore.
However, when the servants and maids in the house all ran for their lives, a bold demon-hunting Taoist priest came to visit. Then there were the so-called witches and gods, and finally, there were the shamans of unknown foreign races. It was said that Old Master Han Gui announced that anyone who could help him exorcise the spirit would be rewarded handsomely. As a result, in just one or two days, more than twenty people came to live in his courtyard.
The surrounding neighbors were frightened and puzzled. However, ever since these people moved in, the haunting of Old Master Han's house did not happen again. Old Master Han even came out for a walk, and even went to the government office to see his subordinates.
However, Old Master Han's strange illness did not seem to be completely cured. When he met his subordinates, he would often use a strange tone to ask, 'What's the matter today?'. No matter what the subordinates answered, he would coldly say, 'It's good that you're fine. I've been sick for the past few days, so I'll rest for a few days.'
As for the superiors, Han Gui simply avoided them and refused to meet them.
This happened a few times. 'Old Master Han' took a sick leave and stayed at home. His colleagues in the government office were not happy to see him like this. If he didn't come, naturally no one would care. There were even people thinking about how to replace him, not how to help him.
'Old Master Han's' house seemed to be peaceful, but the real Han Gui was suffering. He was trapped in the master bedroom of the courtyard. He really couldn't understand why no one came to save him. His subordinates didn't come, his colleagues didn't come, and the superiors didn't come.
The people who saved him didn't come, but the people who wanted to kill him were always there.
For the past few days, Han Gui had almost no rest. That beautiful woman said that she wanted to teach him a lesson. She wanted to torture him like torturing an eagle. She wouldn't let him sleep, and kept asking him questions. If that woman wanted to sleep, then it would definitely be Zhou Qingfeng who would torture him. Even if Zhou Qingfeng didn't come, someone else would come and not let him sleep. If he was sleepy, someone would directly prick him with a needle.
"Let me sleep for a while, I beg you." Han Gui no longer had the arrogance he had a few days ago. Instead, his head was drooping, and he looked like he could die at any moment.
"I'll say it again. Commander Zhao Yihe of the Fu Shun Qianhu Command. I want to know what kind of connections he has in the government office. Who are his subordinates? Which shops in the city belong to him? "Xu Bing fiddled with a pen and was reviewing a roll of files in her hands. She would repeatedly ask similar questions from different angles to ensure that Han Gui's words were consistent.
Wang Kunpeng was helping Xu Bing, in charge of copying and organizing the files. At first, he was quite happy to see Han Gui's misfortune, but now he was very frightened. Just one question was enough to torment Master Han, who usually ran amok in Fu Shun, to the point where he wished he was dead. And the one who did all this was Sister Xu, who had appeared a few days ago.
She looked beautiful, but she was actually cruel and merciless!
Xu Bing didn't sympathize with Han Gui's pitiful appearance. Just based on the cases that this scumbag had confessed in the past few days, it was enough to send this guy to the eighteenth level of hell. Framing people was Han Gui's most common thing. He relied on this trick to kill countless people living in Fu Shun, peddlers who came to Fu Shun to do business, and lonely and helpless families.
Stealing people's money, robbing people's wives and daughters, killing people's relatives, it was really intolerable that this kind of person could live until now. Xu Bing stared coldly at Han Gui and mocked, "Do you want to die? Then be obedient and say it again, I'll give you a quick death. "
Han Gui's eyes were bloodshot, and his face was twisted and ferocious. He used his hoarse voice to shout angrily and desperately, "You ask these things every day. What do you want? Even the Brocade Guard and the East Faction Guards aren't as ruthless as you! "
