A big event happened in Chaoziba. When the people of Fancheng heard about it, they came to watch, staring at Feng Qingluan on the carriage and talking endlessly.

"I heard that all the recent murders in Fancheng are related to this Miss Feng. A senior monk discovered that she brought evil spirits to Fancheng, which is why so many people died."

"I think what they said makes sense. Those people were eaten by a female ghost. If they weren't evil spirits, how could they die so strangely?"

Someone else said:

"But this is too weird. Miss Feng is a human, and the murderers are a female ghost and a gust of wind. She doesn't look like an evil spirit at all."

"If not, how could the monk recognize her at first sight? I have lived for most of my life and have never heard of such a weird killing method. It must be the work of evil spirits. I am right."

The people were whispering.

Feng Qingluan looked at the people below who were looking at her with strange and terrified eyes, her expression calm.

Shi Yaya learned the news that Feng Qingluan was in trouble at the inn, and rushed to Chaoziba with the people from Wenquan Villa. She saw Feng Qingluan being executed by burning at the stake, and heard the general course of events from the surrounding people. She was furious.

"Master Qi, you are taking human life lightly and making arbitrary judgments. Release Feng Qingluan now!"

Qi Wei's expression was cold.

"Take human life lightly? Killing Feng Qingluan can prevent the murders in Fancheng from happening again. Feng Qingluan's life can save more people in Fancheng. Feng Qingluan must die today!"

If he kills Feng Qingluan, he will be able to complete the task assigned to him by His Majesty and be promoted.

Qi Wei said loudly:

"Since there have been six murders in Fancheng recently, a master said that all of them were caused by evil spirits. Feng Qingluan brought evil spirits into Fancheng to bring disaster. Today, I will eradicate the evil spirits for the people. Leng Zhe, get started!"

Leng Zhe took the torch and threw it towards the overpass, "Boom!" The fire started.

Shi Yaya's eyes sharpened and she was about to rescue someone.

"Whoa!"

Two hidden weapons were shot at the ropes that bound Feng Qingluan's hands.

The rope loosened and Feng Qingluan jumped down from the platform.

Her action shocked everyone present.

Leng Zhe shouted: "Catch her!"

The soldiers drew their swords and gathered around the fire.

Feng Qingluan rubbed her wrists that were sore from being tied, looked around at Qi Wei and everyone else present, and finally looked at Qi Wei:

"Master Qi, I have said everything I wanted to say. Is it my turn?"

Qi Wei didn't know what she was up to, and threatened:

"Don't even think about escaping. Don't forget that all the Yun family members are here!"

As he finished speaking, the soldiers drew their swords and surrounded the Yun family in the crowd.

Before they got close, a group of people rushed out from the crowd, protected the Yun family behind them and confronted the soldiers.

These guards were dressed up as secret guards and blended in with the crowd in order to secretly protect the Yun family.

Qi Wei angrily rebuked Feng Qingluan upon seeing this:

"You still have this trick hidden, Feng Qingluan, do you want to go against me here?"

The Yun family didn't understand what was going on and looked at Feng Qingluan in shock and confusion.

Lord Yu was also confused and asked:

"Miss Feng, what's going on?"

Feng Qingluan looked at Qi Wei coldly:

"You ordered murderers to kill civilians, assassinated me, and planned to burn me as a demon in Fancheng. You planned so many things. Lord Qi, the governor of Jiangnan, are you secretly happy that you can get rid of me today?"

One stone can cause a thousand ripples. Feng Qingluan's words shocked the people.

"Everything was planned by Lord Qi? Lord Qi killed the people and wanted to kill Feng Qingluan. What is going on?"

"Yeah, am I dreaming? How did things turn out like this?"

People kept talking about it.

Qi Wei came back to his senses from his brief shock and narrowed his eyes:

"You want to drag me down with you when you are about to die? It's just a last-ditch effort. Leng Zhe, throw her into the fire!"

Yu Zheng felt something was wrong and stopped him:

"Wait, Master Qi, Feng Qingluan has accused you of being the real culprit behind multiple murders. I think we should first hear why she says so. What evidence do you have?

The people should also want to know that we cannot kill a person by mistake, nor can we let the real murderer go unpunished, don’t you agree?”

Yu Zheng knew that he could not compete with Qi Wei with his official position, so he persuaded the people to give Feng Qingluan a chance.

He didn't trust Feng Qingluan that much, but he didn't trust Qi Wei even more.

"Master Yu is right. Miss Feng, do you have any evidence that the murderer is Master Qi?"

Someone among the people shouted.

Yu Zheng said: "Miss Feng, please show me the evidence, otherwise I will be committing an even more serious crime of accusing an official of the imperial court!"

Feng Qingluan said calmly:

"Of course there is evidence. Bring him up."

Everyone looked in the direction Feng Qingluan was looking. Behind the Yun family, a tall man wearing a mask walked up with a young man.

Shi Yaya was surprised: "Zeng Yangzi, did you catch him?"

She and her fellow brothers and sisters have been searching for Zeng Yangzi in Fancheng, but have found no clues.

Unexpectedly, it had already fallen into Feng Qingluan's hands.

When Qi Wei saw the masked man and Zeng Yangzi coming out, his face became gloomy and ugly.

He just felt strange as to why he didn't see the masked man with high martial arts skills that Leng Zhe mentioned coming to rescue Feng Qingluan, but instead went to bring a witness!

People have never heard of this name:

"Zeng Yangzi, who is he?"

Shi Yaya said, "He is a traitor of Wenquan Villa. A few months ago, Zeng Yangzi escaped from Wenquan Villa and killed people in the martial arts world. The killing method he used was a bloodthirsty creature called blood locusts. Zeng Yangzi marked the target to be killed, and the blood locusts would fly over and eat the person following the smell. It is rumored in Fancheng that the five dead bodies killed by the female ghost in the wind were all killed by him controlling the blood locusts."

Shi Yaya said a series of words, and many people were confused. Pei Chuan explained:

"In short, this man used a kind of locust that can suck human blood and flesh to kill the five victims. We at Wenquan Villa are looking for him everywhere. The recent series of murders in Fancheng were not caused by evil spirits, but by human beings. Zeng Yangzi is the murderer."

After listening to his explanation, people finally understood and were all surprised.

"What kind of locusts would eat a person to the point of leaving nothing behind? It's horrible."

Facing the people's doubts, Feng Qingluan said:

"I will show you about this later. As for now, Zeng Yangzi, do you admit that you controlled the blood locusts to kill five people in a row?"

Zeng Yangzi had been tortured by Yu Haoyan a few days ago and had already admitted it. He knew he couldn't escape and said:

"I did it. It's ridiculous that you ignorant people think that the blood locusts killed people because of female ghosts."

He admitted himself that people were excited.

"It turns out that someone really killed someone, and this person is the murderer. What is going on?"

"The master said that it was an evil spirit that killed people, and now a real murderer has appeared. Who is telling the truth?"

"Yes, that master looks like a highly accomplished monk, not a liar."

Hear what the people are saying.

Qi Wei's face turned as ugly as black ink.

Feng Qingluan brought Zeng Yangzi out in public, causing him to clench his fingers under his sleeves and think quickly about how to deal with what was going to happen next.
