I am a ghost messenger, why do I need a long life?
Chapter 77 Catching Ghosts
At dawn, an order came from the Tongpan Mansion.
The Red and Green Impermanence, the chief clerk of the Yin Court, and Xu An, holding nine portraits in their hands and leading a team of Yin soldiers.
This group of living ghosts rose up in the morning and rushed into several streets and arrested people in the neighborhood before the doors were opened.
"Do you know this person?"
"I know you."
"take away!"
"Do you have any dealings with this person?"
"My Lord, please check carefully. I just owe him money!"
"Ow money? Take it all away!"
"Do you know him?"
"Sir, I don't know him well. We just run a stall on the same street!"
"Setting up a stall? Take him back too. You have nothing to hide, so what are you afraid of?"
"But I am a ghost, sir!"
"Stop talking nonsense and take it away!"
This sudden action instantly threw the entire, previously peaceful, main city of Yangzhou into chaos.
Wherever the ghost soldiers passed, all those related to these people were taken away without exception.
The question is about the government investigation. I have nothing to tell you about other trivial matters!
"What are you doing? Do you know that this is the Zhao family residence?"
In South City, the Red and Green Impermanence sneered as they looked at the living ghosts standing at the door, guarding the house.
"Mansion? I'm in the Yin Court investigating a case, how can you have a say? Don't even mention the Zhao family's mansion. Even if you were the Li or Wang family, we would still investigate!"
The Yin Court Chief Clerk looked at the two of them, holding the portrait and said:
"Your master dared to attack the underworld officials last night, violating the laws of our underworld court. Today, I have come to arrest you and bring you to justice. Anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"
"Search for me, don't miss any corner, all the idle ghosts, etc., bring back everything you need!"
Immediately, the ghost soldiers behind Xu An obeyed the order and rushed directly into the mansion, pulling out all the living ghosts inside.
"You're going too far!"
After noticing the movement, several innate male ghosts living here suddenly rushed out and knocked down several ghost soldiers.
"We've said it before, anyone who resists will be killed on the spot!"
Two streams of red and green magical light suddenly penetrated the void, like a sky curtain, blooming in the city.
The Red and Green Impermanence took action directly and instantly dispersed the living ghosts rushing in the front.
Xu An stood behind and watched the powerful magical power fluctuations emanating from the two of them.
Just looking at their realm, they have already reached the level of great perfection of the Purple Mansion and are not far from condensing the divine fetus.
As for the chief clerk beside him, Xu An never saw him actually take action from beginning to end.
But his strength is definitely not weaker than these two.
"take away."
It was as easy as turning one hand over the other. After killing one ghost, all the living ghosts in the arena dared not move anymore.
On this day, the sun rose in the Yin Court, shining on the earth. In the gentle breeze, a large flag of the main city fluttered vigorously.
Along the long street, countless living ghosts watched Xu An and others, escorting hundreds of suspected ghosts, and walked into the Yinting government office in a mighty procession.
The dungeon is where they were held until interrogation.
And precisely because there were so many living ghosts who witnessed it, speculations arose endlessly.
Throughout the main city of Yangzhou, no matter whether it was a street ghost, an old ghost who had lived there for a long time, or a congenitally powerful ghost, or even stronger ghosts who owned land and houses, had run the business for a long time, and had passed down the power of several generations of ghosts, all looked at him with awe.
Just when most of them were frantically speculating about what had happened.
There is news:
"Last night, Lord Xu was unexpectedly attacked by a ghost. It seemed that the other party's Tao heart collapsed and turned into a fierce ghost. It actually wanted to devour Lord Xu's cultivation!"
"Yes, I heard that he is the head of the Zhao family mansion. Their branch has been thriving in Yin Court since three hundred years ago."
"I ran this business after I died, and when I was reincarnated, I passed it on to my son. When my son was reincarnated, I passed it on to my grandson. Although I wasn't an official, I still had power and influence. I didn't expect it to collapse like this!"
"Zhao Xiong is so confused! This is the Yin Court. How can you mobilize the Yin Messenger without authorization? If you can't punish Mu Linjiang, how can you punish you?"
"Mr. Xu is now at the peak of his career. To provoke him would be like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth. I wonder how many people will be implicated this time!"
"Alas, even Zhao Xionggui's heart has collapsed and he has turned into a fierce ghost. I really don't know when it will be my turn."
"Damn it, you still said that if you come to me every day to buy on credit, I will be the first one to eat you if I become a fierce ghost to improve my cultivation!"
"If you ask me, if we can continue to devour living ghosts and cultivate, then why don't we..."
"Be careful with your words. Cannibalism has always been a taboo since ancient times. If you commit too many sins, you will incur the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. You will not have a good ending!"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, I drank too much and said something wrong. I am guilty, I am guilty..."
While all kinds of opinions were being raised in the city, Xu An and Yang Wei were already in the study of the Tongpan Mansion, discussing their next move with the Yinting Chief Clerk and the Red and Green Impermanence.
Several Yin Courts, veterans in charge of various things, looked at each other, then looked at Xu An beside them, and Yang Wei in front of them. The old man in the dungeon bowed and said:
"These ghosts have been caught. When will you interrogate them, sir?"
The reason for asking this is that this man, who is in charge of the prison and has followed Yang Xu for many years, is also known as a ghost hero with extraordinary strength in the main city of Yangzhou. This is the first time he has seen such a situation in many years.
At this moment, he was not sure what Yang Wei meant.
"The interrogation is fully entrusted to Xu An. Whether to detain or temporarily release him is also up to him."
Unexpectedly, Yang Wei didn't seem to care at all after hearing this. He looked as if he didn't want to care and said to the group of ghost cultivators organized by the Yin Court:
"I am taking this action because the situation is tense. Even the attack on Yin Court officials has occurred. The impact is too bad. If we don't deal with it with drastic measures, who knows what will happen in the future!"
"Just imagine, if you were suddenly attacked by living ghosts, surrounded by danger, and then my Yin Court did not pursue the matter at all, wouldn't you be heartbroken?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the chief clerk of the Yin Court, the Red and Green Impermanence, the Yin soldiers and generals, and the dungeon supervisor all looked at each other in bewilderment.
I have to say that what Yang Wei said makes a lot of sense.
The reason why Xu An and Yang Wei classified this incident as an evil spirit attacking a public official was something they had agreed on. At this moment, of course, they had a unified voice.
Seeing that they all had no objections, Yang Wei continued:
"Xu An, you can proceed with the interrogation without worry. I'm about to find a breakthrough, so I have no time to spare. I'll leave it to you!"
After leaving the Tongpan Mansion, Xu An looked at his fellow Yin Ting officials and said with a gentle smile:
"I'm sorry to bother you all with this matter."
Seeing Xu An's polite look, Honglv Wuchang and the Yinbing generals, although they still had some opinions about Xu An, there was no deep hatred between the two sides after all.
In the face of this vicious incident, their final attitude was to be united against the outside world.
After entering the dungeon, the guard looked at Xu An and said with a meaningful smile:
"Since Lord Xu is personally conducting the trial, why not let me wait and see what his methods are?"
