Immortal Cultivation and Life-Saving Guide

Chapter 266: Trap Killing (Thanks to BABALA for the reward!)

Officers and soldiers do not need to consider the laws of nature, and they will not show mercy to rioters, and their methods are extremely brutal.

"These people are now like fat meat on the chopping board. Let's see if they will continue to eat us!"

Hearing the random combination of idioms, Qin Feng resisted the urge to correct him. "We have done our job. These people have done evil things, and they will be judged by the law."

Lian Gou turned to Wei Xi for support, "Don't these people deserve what they got?"

Wei Xi's tone remained flat, "They were the meat on the chopping board from the beginning. Don't confuse cause and effect."

“You mentioned there were a few locals?”

"Yes," Qin Feng pointed out several tall and short people in the team, "Among them, the fattest one helped me count the number of refugees."

Wei Xi shook his head, and Qin Feng advised, "I know you're worried about their memories being tampered with, but you have to ask first!"

"You're only looking for men," Wei Xi tapped Gao Han's scabbard. "'Madam He' is a woman. What can you get out of these men?"

Qin Feng said "Oh" with a somewhat annoyed expression, "I only thought of looking for locals, but I didn't expect there would be this."

"Nothing," Wei Xi consoled him, "It's just a matter of putting in some extra effort."

After saying that, Wei Xi asked Ling Yin to raise her voice and yell at the fattest candidate: "Where is your wife?!"

This man was able to mingle with the refugees after the city was broken, which shows that he is a capable person. Wei Xi guessed that his wife should still be alive.

The fat man who was named had experienced a lot of ups and downs today. Lingyin's voice scared him to death and almost killed him. His fragile heart was broken into eight pieces and he fell to the ground.

"Reply... reply to the Immortal Master! My wife... my wife is at home, and she has no idea what I am doing outside! If you want to kill or chop her up, just kill me..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lian Gouqie shouted, "Why would we kill your wife? Don't ruin our reputation!"

"Let me ask you, do you know Madam He?"

"What... Madam? My surname is Wang, and my maiden name is Wang..."

"The clerk who helps the granary official lives in Guihua Lane." Wei Xi asked.

"My wife makes clothes in her spare time to supplement the family income, and she has a few customers in Osmanthus Alley."

After getting the address, Wei Xi and the other two went to look for Lady Wang.

"That's not a big deal," Lian Gou-yu said, looking at the bread on the table and laughing, "It can't be leftover food at home, right?"

Wei Xi stepped into the main room and was met with a rolling pin, which she grabbed.

"Thief! I'll fight you to the death!"

Mrs. Wang was beautiful but had a bad temper. When Wei Xi twisted her wrist, she stomped on him.

Lian Gouyue crushed the talisman, and a dark blue flame burst out. "Look! We are monks!"

After a moment, Madam Wang, holding a cup of tea, said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to offend you Immortal Masters! Bingzhou City has been in turmoil lately, and the head of the family is busy traveling. I, a common woman, am really scared!"

"Your husband is participating in the riots outside," Qin Feng said, soaking the leaves in water and setting them aside. "He is indeed exhausted. You and your wife can have a good rest in prison."

"Master, please don't lie to me," Madam Wang said with a forced smile, "Baotian is the most timid person. How could he do such a thing?"

Wei Xi and the other two didn't say anything, just looked at Madam Wang, which made her feel less and less confident. She immediately picked up a rolling pin and was about to walk out.

"Baotian! You damn idiot! Do you think you can touch a riot? I'll kill you, you heartless thing!"

"If you want to live, answer whatever we ask you." The puppet stopped the out-of-control Madam Wang, and the sound of wood clashing against wood was dull. "Do you know Madam He from Guihua Lane?"

Madam Wang regained her senses, threw the rolling pin, which was as thick as her arm, aside, and sat down on the ground, covering her face and crying, "Xi Niang? She... I know Madam He! Her husband was killed by refugees, and to fill her stomach, she hooked up with a riot leader... Ugh!" "Madam He doesn't have any children?"

"How long has she been married? How could she have a child?" Madam Wang wiped her face. "She's from Sucheng, and there's only her and her husband at home."

It seemed that Madam He had no roots in the local area. Wei Xi took note of this and then asked, "Has Madam He Xiniang behaved unusually recently?"

"Abnormal?" Madam Wang looked up blankly and said, "She did something so despicable, isn't that abnormal enough?"

Wei Xi was speechless, not wanting to join in this moral judgment. After a moment's thought, he explained, "Think carefully, was there anything unusual about her before? For example, her words and actions, the clothes she wore..."

Tear marks stained her face, and Madam Wang looked doubtful. She said uncertainly, "A month ago, I borrowed rice from her. He Xi was a bit stingy in the past, but unexpectedly, she lent it to me this time and didn't say anything unpleasant."

"At that time, I was still thinking about her changing her gender, and I didn't even say when she would return."

As the saying goes, "It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature." Wei Xi does not believe that a person's character can change easily. It is very likely that He Xiniang was replaced a month ago.

"Please recall the scene carefully."

"This happened a month ago...how could I remember?"

"Rioting is a serious crime. You and your husband probably won't be able to stay in jail for many days." Qin Feng hinted at something and gestured at his neck with his hand.

"I...she...there's nothing unusual about He Xiniang. If I must say, she's just a little tired and doesn't want to bother with anyone!"

This was all Madam Wang knew. Wei Xi and the other two tried asking from several angles but couldn't get anything new out of her, so they had to give up.

The last question Wei Xi asked was whether he knew who opened the clinic near the Bingzhou city gate.

Madam Wang, who had escorted the immortal master out, replied, "It was Doctor You. Although he's young, he's a skilled doctor with a kind heart. He often helps the poor. The soup kitchen in front of the clinic was run by Doctor You."

Before leaving, Wei Xi was cautious and threw a thumb-sized cloth puppet to prevent the "seventh day after the death of husband" incident from happening again.

Qin Feng promised to plead for Bao Tian, but as for whether the person would come back sideways or upright, it depended on his luck.

"Mrs. He has no children? Then how did the child in her pregnancy come from?" After leaving the yard, Lian Gouyi couldn't wait to ask.

"Maybe he's an accomplice," Wei Xi said casually. "I don't know what kind of magic this guy used, but he can transform into Madam He's appearance, and he can also turn his accomplice into a child."

"My three immortal masters," he said as two armored soldiers hurried over and saluted Wei Xi and the other two. "There's been some disturbance in the city. General, please come!"

"lead the way!"

After many twists and turns, the soldiers led Wei Xi and his group to a mansion in the north of Bingzhou City.

Wei Xi could smell the smell of blood from a distance.

The three men had gloomy expressions on their faces, and they all thought at the same time: Such a strong smell of blood, and no news from the refugees, it's probably a tragedy that happened today.

When I pushed the door open, the first thing that caught my eye was the corpses all over the floor.

"Three fellow Daoists," Cen Jin's expression was not good, "My men discovered something unusual while clearing out the rebels here."

Since they had agreed to each do their own job, Qin Feng asked, "Did you invite us here because there are cultivators causing trouble?"

Cen Jin did not respond, but just slightly turned his body to reveal the pit he was digging behind him.

The pit was filled with armored corpses, some of which even had weapons in their hands.

The missing garrison in Bingzhou City was found.

Thousands of people were buried alive here, which is the bloody epitaph of Bingzhou City.
