Before Qi Wei could speak, the bearded man he had placed among the people questioned loudly:

"I think this is a fake murderer. Feng Qingluan hired someone to give false testimony in order to clear herself of her evil identity!

The masters have said that it was the work of evil spirits. The sudden appearance of man-eating blood locusts is simply a fantasy!

Everyone, stay rational and don't be deceived by Feng Qingluan and this guy's words!"

Following his instigation, some people were misled and believed that Feng Qingluan had randomly found people to deceive others.

Feng Qingluan looked at the bearded man with a sharp gaze:

"My brother, you have been fanning the flames since you arrived at Yun Mansion, inciting others to think that I am an evil spirit. You said that I hired someone to give false testimony, but it seems more like you were hired to throw dirty water on me. Please take a look, everyone. Have you seen this person?"

After Feng Qingluan's reminder, many people looked at the bearded man.

"Who is he? I have never seen him before. Does any of you know him?"

People looked the man up and down, and without exception, no one recognized him.

Someone said, "We are all neighbors living in Fancheng, and no one knows this person. Where did he come from?"

"Yeah, who are you and where are you from?"

Being stared at by so many eyes, the bearded man suddenly felt flustered and explained:

"I came to Fancheng from another place not long ago. It's normal that you haven't seen me."

Feng Qingluan raised her eyebrows:

"Which inn or house are you staying in? Since you came here not long ago, you should have met the people around here during this period. Tell us where you are staying. The people are all here. Let them recognize you."

When asked to tell him where he was staying, the bearded man was visibly panicked. He stammered and couldn't say anything. He glanced at Qi Wei and turned around to leave.

He was walking in a hurry and didn't notice that someone in the crowd stepped out and tripped him. The bearded man fell straight to the ground. The secret guard grabbed his arm and took him in front of Xie Jin.

The bearded man was still struggling, and shouted angrily:

"Who are you? Let me go, let me go!"

However, feeling the powerful aura of the masked man, the bearded man became frightened and stopped talking.

The bearded man felt guilty and wanted to escape. The people who had been misled by his words before also understood that someone had invited him to act. They felt that something was wrong with what happened today.

Qi Wei's eyes were vicious, like a snake gritting its teeth and asking Feng Qingluan:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Feng Qingluan ignored him and asked Xie Jin:

"Have you brought anything?"

Xie Jin said: "Dark night."

Before Feng Qingluan left Yun Mansion, she took out the bamboo basket containing the blood locusts from the space and handed it to Xie Jin.

Shi Yaya said that blood locusts must be raised with raw blood and raw meat and must never be released. Feng Qingluan took them and raised them in space, just to wait until today to show them to the people.

An Ye heard the order and brought up a bamboo basket and a lamb that had just been slaughtered.

Feng Qingluan looked at everyone:

"You have all seen blood locusts kill people, right? Now let's see, it's not the ghost wind that kills people, but the blood locusts that eat people."

She said to Shi Yaya:

"Yaya, please help me catch the blood locusts again later."

Shi Yaya nodded: "Okay."

Feng Qingluan asked the people to make way for a space, sprinkled soul-seeking water on the lamb, and opened the bamboo basket in the dark night.

"Crash!"

The wings flapped, and a sound like the wailing of a female ghost flew out of the bamboo basket. A red wind circled in the air for a while, then dived straight towards the target, towards the lamb marked with the Soul-Seeking Water.

As the people watched, the lamb was eaten up by the red wind, and soon only a pool of blood and broken bones were left on the ground.

People screamed in fear, fearing that the Red Wind would attack them after eating the lamb.

Shi Yaya shouted loudly at this time:

"It's now!"

An Ye threw out the giant net in his hand, and when Hong Mao Feng was about to fly into the sky, Shi Yaya cooperated with him to accurately cover all the blood locusts, covering the pool of blood just now.

Soul-seeking water was also sprinkled in the giant net. Feng Qingluan did not put the blood locusts into the bamboo baskets to make it easier for the people to see through the giant net what was eating people.

Feng Qingluan said, "Everyone has seen it, this is what the eyewitnesses saw: the red-haired female ghost killing people. It was not the evil female ghost that killed those innocent people, but these blood locusts. The sound of their wings flapping was like a woman crying, which gave the eyewitnesses the illusion that a ghost was killing people."

A brave man stepped forward to check the blood locusts and said in horror:

"They are indeed locusts, all blood-red locusts. It's terrifying that there are such man-eating monsters in the world."

Feng Qingluan continued:

"The murderer Zeng Yangzi specifically selected the customers of the Yun family to mark and manipulated the blood locusts to kill people. He admitted it himself and showed you his killing method. I believe that it was not a demon who did this but a human."

I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. Why wouldn’t I believe it?

"It seems that what the monk said was false. He is a liar!"

"Yes, I was almost fooled by his words. Hey, the liar disappeared. Didn't he come to Chaoziba with him?"

Someone noticed that the monk who was misleading people with his evil words was not there, so they ignored him and focused all their attention on Feng Qingluan.

Qi Wei watched all this without saying a word, his sinister eyes fixed on Feng Qingluan.

He had a sense of crisis as if he was being skinned by this woman. Would Feng Qingluan then ask Zeng Yangzi to testify that it was he who ordered him to kill?

His guess was correct. Feng Qingluan looked at Zeng Yangzi:

"You committed murder and were expelled from Wenquan Villa. You killed innocent people to make money, but after arriving in Fancheng, you killed five civilians in a row. It was not for money or revenge, but to frame the Yun family and create rumors that I was a demon. You were targeting my Yun family. Tell me, who ordered you to do these things in Fancheng?"

Zeng Yangzi admitted that he was the murderer, and Feng Qingluan demonstrated his murder method. The murderer specifically targeted the people of the Yun family, causing the Yun family to close down. He almost burned Feng Qingluan to death. The people found out that they were deceived, and many of them were furious and questioned Zeng Yangzi:

"Who ordered you to frame the Yun family? Tell me now!"

The Yun family's shops and restaurants were almost all over Fancheng. The closure brought great inconvenience to their lives. They felt depressed for a while, so how could they not be angry?

Facing the anger of the people, Zeng Yangzi looked at Qi Wei:

"Who ordered me to do this? Of course it was the Governor of Jiangnan, Lord Qi. Who else would pay me so much money to do this?"

When the people heard that it was Qi Wei who ordered this, they were surprised:

"It's him? Why?"

Qi Wei is the highest-ranking official in the entire Jiangnan region, how could he do such a thing?

Qi Wei was panicked, but he had seen a lot of things, so he was not panicked by Zeng Yangzi's accusation. Instead, he looked at Feng Qingluan and retorted:

"Feng Qingluan, in order to clear yourself of the evil spirit, you found someone to testify against me, showed the blood locusts killing people, and performed this drama in front of everyone. You really put a lot of effort into it."
