Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen

The next morning, a monk in simple clothes stood in front of the prefect's mansion.

He was mumbling something, but no one knew what he was saying.

Some people saw it and gathered around out of curiosity.

"What is this monk saying standing here?"

One person continued, "I've been watching him for a long time. He seemed to be saying something like the sky of Fancheng is filled with gloomy air and there are evil spirits causing trouble. If we don't deal with it, the evil spirits will persecute more people."

The man who asked the question widened his eyes in horror:

"Fancheng evil? Are you talking about the previous murder case involving the female ghost in the wind?"

After his reminder, the expression of the person who spoke earlier also changed:

"It seems so. Apart from this incident, what else can be considered as evil spirits in Fancheng recently?"

"What should we do? We need to ask Lord Yu to come out and handle it."

"Yes, go and inform the governor."

As the two men were talking, many other people also gathered around, and suddenly the gate of the prefect was blocked. The people could hear clearly what the monk was chanting, and they kept talking about it.

When Yu Zheng woke up early in the morning, the housekeeper of the mansion came running to report:

"My lord, something bad has happened. There is a crowd of people gathered in front of the gate, including a monk. I don't know what they are talking about, but they are yelling for you to get out quickly."

When Yu Zheng heard this, he quickly ordered people to open the gate. Sure enough, countless people were looking at him with anger on their faces.

When they saw him coming out, some people immediately shouted:

"Master Governor, you finally came out. Come and listen to what the monk said. Something big is going to happen in Fancheng."

Yu Zheng walked towards the monk with a serious expression:

"May I ask why you are here at the gate of the mansion?"

Seeing him coming to ask, the monk said in a cold and mysterious manner:

"Sir, I passed by Fancheng and saw a dark aura over the city, as if there were some evil spirits causing trouble. May I ask if many people in Fancheng have suffered misfortune recently?"

He spoke slowly. Although his robes looked worn out and his straw sandals were stained with mud, when he opened his mouth he gave people the calmness and wisdom of a high-level monk.

Yu Zheng's eyebrows jumped: "Master is right, there have indeed been some murders in Fancheng recently."

The monk said, "There is an evil spirit in Fancheng doing evil, and its killing methods are treacherous. If it is not eliminated in time, more people will die strangely in the future."

Yu was frowning and wanted to ask a few more questions, but before he could open his mouth, the onlookers asked hurriedly:

"Master, how do we get rid of the evil? That thing is a gust of wind, and there is a female ghost in the wind. All the people who died before were eaten by the female ghost, and nothing is left. It is very scary."

"Yes, Master. Someone saw a living person being wrapped by the wind and then eaten up in the blink of an eye. Only a horrifying pool of blood was left on the ground. Not to mention cleaning it up, even finding the evil spirit is a problem. How can we get rid of it?"

Regarding the evil spirits, Yu Zheng did not believe the monk's words and rebuked the people, saying:

"There are some things that cannot be said carelessly. Lord Qi and I are both trying to catch the murderer. Don't spread rumors that evil spirits killed people and make the people uneasy."

Hearing his questioning words, the monk looked at Yu Zheng with a pair of gentle eyes and asked:

"My Lord, do you not believe what I said? In the past, the people of Fancheng lived and worked in peace and contentment. Have there never been such a bizarre murder case as today?"

Yu Zhengdao: “No.”

The monk continued, "The evil spirit that I mentioned did not appear recently. It was brought into Fancheng by the people of Fancheng recently to harm the people. This person has a great influence because her arrival brought bad luck to Fancheng and caused killings. Your Excellency, think carefully, is it after this person appeared in Fancheng that the people of Fancheng began to be persecuted?"

Hearing him say this, Yu Zheng's eyes jumped. The people reacted even more violently than him, and they all shouted:

"Master is right. Ever since the young lady Feng Qingluan from the Yun family followed the old couple Yun back to Fancheng, incidents of female ghosts eating people have begun to appear in Fancheng. Master said that someone brought evil spirits into Fancheng. Doesn't that match Feng Qingluan? Could she be the carrier of the evil spirits?"

"In my opinion, this is definitely the case. Don't forget, the five people eaten by the female ghost all died after purchasing Yun's products. The impact was huge. Plus, it was Feng Qingluan's own evil spirit, so everything makes sense."

When this was said, many people echoed and agreed.

Yu Zheng still didn't believe it:

"Everyone calm down, these things are just coincidences, don't talk nonsense without evidence."

A strong man with a beard shouted:

"Master, the facts are before our eyes. How can we not believe it? Feng Qingluan came to Fancheng and something bad happened. Now the master has discovered it. The master is here to save our lives. Master, how do you think we can get rid of the evil spirit? We will cooperate with you and work together to restore peace to Fancheng. Don't you agree?"

After this person's encouragement, other people all agreed.

"Yes, we need to eliminate the evil spirits and restore peace to Fancheng. Master, please tell us how we can eliminate the evil spirits and what we need to do."

Everyone was eagerly waiting for the master to come up with a solution, but the master slowly said:

"Give someone a taste of their own medicine, and let him be reduced to ashes, and that will stop his behavior!"

"Reduced to ashes? That means being burned at the stake, right?"

The monk closed his eyes and nodded: "Also."

The bearded man said loudly again:

"Yes, burning to death is the opposite of the evil wind killing people without leaving any body. Lord Yu, did you hear what the master said? Quickly order someone to catch Feng Qingluan. She is the one who carries the evil spirit. If you put her to death, the people of Fancheng will be saved!"

More and more people gathered around, and after hearing what the monk said, more and more people asked Yu Zheng to arrest Feng Qingluan.

Only a few sensible people said:

"It's so cruel to burn a person alive!"

"Burning one person to death can bring peace back to the people of a city, so why not?"

The two parties started arguing. Yu Zheng's brows were twisted into black lines. He was trying to figure out how to calm people down when a man ran up to him, crying at the top of his lungs:

"My lord, my father is dead. He is dead."

When Yu Zheng heard this, he was shocked and asked:

"What's going on? Please explain clearly."

The young man burst into tears and said:

"Sir, this morning I went to my father's room to call him and found him lying on the bed with his eyes wide open. He had died inexplicably. The door was closed. My father had always been in good health. How could he die suddenly?"

After he came here, those people who still didn't believe that it was evil spirits that killed people began to believe it a little.

Those who already believed in it were even more emotional and said to Yu Zhengdao:

"Master Yu, did you see that? Another dead person has appeared. What could make a living person die inexplicably? If it's not a ghost, what could it be?"

Someone raised his hand and shouted:

"Capture Feng Qingluan and eradicate the evil spirit!"

"Capture Feng Qingluan and eradicate the evil spirit!"

For a moment, the people united as one, determined to let Yu Zheng burn Feng Qingluan.

Seeing that Yu was in trouble, someone fanned the flames and said:

"The youngest son of Lord Yu and Miss Yun will soon become relatives. He will not arrest Feng Qingluan. We need someone to make the decision for us. We have to go to Feihong Garden to find the Governor. Everyone, let's go to Feihong Garden."

The people were excited and flocked to Feihong Garden where Qi Wei was.

Yu Zheng was extremely anxious, so he sent people to the home of the commoner whose father had died to check the situation, and he hurried to Yun Mansion.

He had a feeling that today's events would become more serious than ever before.

Burn Feng Qingluan to death?

She is the daughter of a marquis in the capital, and also the fiancée of the current Prince Rong. The people want to burn her to death. This is a big deal!
