C34 A Dead Man
A dead man.
After Zhang Miaozhu heard the ending that Ye Zhifa had planned for him, he still wanted to fight to the death. However, other than relying on his blood essence to nurture a little devil, he was actually an ordinary person without any cultivation base. How could he escape from Ye Zhifa's hands?
Ye Zhifa did not treat Zhang Miaozhu as gently as Chu Qianwei did to Miss Yao. With one palm, Zhang Miaozhu fainted. He did not know when he would wake up.
After dealing with Zhang Miaozhu, Ye Zhifa decided to deal with the small gourd first before sending Zhang Miaozhu into the city.
This gourd hid a little devil that harmed others and could not be left alive. Ye Zhifa could use it to test out his newly learned skills.
As Ye Zhifa pointed with his finger, an invisible and colorless sword energy shot towards the small gourd.
This sword energy was formed purely with magic power. Its power was enough to split metal and stone, but it was difficult to shatter the small gourd.
When it saw Ye Zhifa's sword energy shoot towards it, the small gourd merely rolled on the ground. Chu Qianwei burst into laughter and said, "Ye Zhifa, is this Spiritual Power Realm of yours really fake? Why can't you even break such a small gourd?"
Ye Zhifa's face couldn't help but turn green and purple. In his heart, he secretly cursed the choice Du Lin made for him. The magic power cultivated in this Tai Yi True Book was gentle and tolerant, but it only lacked a bit of sharpness. Now that his magic power had just become weak, this kind of situation would occur.
The more Ye Zhifa thought about it, the more furious he became. He directly circulated his magic power and pulled out his long sword, slashing it down like a gourd.
With the sharp edge of the sword, the gourd exploded into countless pieces under his attack. A sharp cry came from the middle. Along with this cry, the little ghost, who had lost its resting place, turned into a puff of black smoke. It dissipated in front of Ye Zhifa and Chu Qianwei.
"Hehe, Ye Zhifa, your sword technique is not bad, but your magic power is not enough."
Ye Zhifa glared at Chu Qianwei and found that she was not afraid of the threat in his eyes. He could only lift Zhang Miaozhu up and said snappily, "Let's go back and find Ran Maoxue."
Ran Maoxue, the Return of Spring to City Master, had already rested early, but he was suddenly knocked on the door by a servant.
"What's the matter? Do you have to come and disturb me now?"
With his new concubine in his arms, Ran Maoxue only wanted to get rid of the annoying servant as soon as possible. He did not expect that the servant would let him climb down from the bed with just one sentence.
"Sir, it's the two distinguished guests of the Zhehua Sword Palace. They said that they have found the murderer of Young Master Zhang."
Found him? So fast?
Ran Maoxue felt that it was not the time for his old age and memory to deteriorate, but he clearly let them read the dossier in the morning. Why did he catch the murderer at night?
Even though Ran Maoxue felt that this matter was too strange to understand, he still quickly put on his clothes and walked out. The disaster of ghosts and ghosts was closely related to the black veil hat on his head, how could a mere beautiful concubine compare to it?
Thinking about the official position in his heart, Ran Maoxue's movements also became much faster. When he felt the front hall, the tea in Ye Zhifa's hands was still boiling hot.
"Two young heroes, I heard that you have caught the murderer of the Ghost Disaster? But this person? "
Ran Maoxue saw Zhang Miaozhu lying at Ye Zhifa's feet. He pointed at Zhang Miaozhu and asked excitedly.
"That's right, that's right. This man did use some tricks to kill young master Zhang. But the following cases have nothing to do with him." Speaking up to this point, Ye Zhifa paused and added, "But perhaps I didn't ask clearly, Sir Ran, you can interrogate this person yourself."
Hearing that Zhang Miaozhu was not the culprit of the ghost disaster, Ran Maoxue was a little discouraged, but after hearing Ye Zhifa's words, he became excited again. He did not care that it was already dark at this time, and directly asked the servant to send a message to the hall.
Chu Qianwei initially wanted to follow him to see the scene of the hall interrogating the prisoners, but Ye Zhifa whispered in her ear and described the suffering of the prisoners, and she immediately stopped thinking about it.
Since Ye Zhifa and the rest did not follow, Ran Maoxue arranged two guest rooms for them and let them rest here for the next few days.
Ran Maoxue still had some thoughts in his heart. If these two abnormal people from the Sword Palace lived in the mansion, even if there were ghosts attacking, he would have more chances to survive than others.
When the two were about to enter their respective guest rooms to sleep, Chu Qianwei called out to Ye Zhifa again.
"Ye Zhifa, you said you didn't ask Zhang Miaozhu clearly, then could he really be the culprit of the other cases?"
"Impossible. The crime of killing Young Master Zhang is enough for him to be sentenced to death. In any case, it is a death sentence. There is no need for him to hide the other crimes."
Chu Qianwei did not understand what Ye Zhifa said. She asked again, "Then why did you ask Ran Maoxue to continue interrogating him?"
" He is a dignified City Lord. No matter what I say, he will definitely interrogate him personally before he can feel at ease. It was also because of the special circumstances of this incident that I didn't dare to hand Zhang Miaozhu over to him. "
Ye Zhifa's final words were that he was worried that Ran Maoxue would let Zhang Miaozhu bear all the charges. After that, he would use his head to calm the hearts of the people in Return of Spring to City. But now, it was all ghosts and devils that were causing trouble. As long as there were still ghosts and devils appearing in the middle of the night... This matter wasn't considered to be over, so there was no need for Ran Maoxue to secretly switch pillars.
Sure enough, under Ran Maoxue's interrogation, Zhang Miaozhu still didn't recognize him and ordered the ghosts to kill others. However, Zhang Miaozhu had given him an additional task, which was to make more money. He had even killed the last temple blessing of the Lingtai Temple.
The perpetrator confessed without a doubt, and there was also the pressure from the rich family in the city, Old Master Yao. Thus, the two crimes were sentenced together, and Zhang Miaozhu was immediately sentenced to death. Three days later, his head was chopped off.
Ran Maoxue did not dare to write down the credit that belonged to Ye Zhifa and the others, so he publicized what the two of them had done in this case. For a moment, "Female hero Chu is wise to save the crazy bride, Young Hero Ye is good at capturing evil temples." The news spread like wildfire in the Return of Spring to City.
As his reputation was known by others, Ye Zhifa's reputation also rose. However, the joy brought by the gain of reputation could not wash away his worries - the true murderer was still hiding in the fog.
During the period when Ran Maoxue cut off Zhang Miaozhu's head, Ye Zhifa conducted a thorough search of the entire Return of Spring to City. He even frequently went out to patrol the streets at night, hoping to bump into the ghosts he found last time.
He did not expect that when he did not encounter any ghosts, Ye Zhifa's strict and serious image would be remembered by the people of the Return of Spring to City. Now, no one knew what the heroine Chu looked like. Young Hero Ye was a young and mature handsome young man, and this matter was known by all.
Since he could not find any clues in the city, Ye Zhifa only needed to flip through the dossier once more. This time, he even directly read through the various cases that happened a few years ago in Return of Spring to City, looking forward to finding any clues from them.
On this day, when Ye Zhifa was reading the dossier again, another servant suddenly came to report that another person had been killed by ghosts.
But this case was quite strange. In the past, there was clearly only one person who had been killed. This time, the deceased was a pair of twins. Their hearts had been dug out. However, only one person's heart had been taken away, while the other had been left at the scene of the murder.
When Ye Zhifa heard this, he had an epiphany. He hurriedly called Chu Qianwei, who was staring blankly in the room, and followed the servant who led the way to the crime scene.
