Chapter 056 The Living King of Hell Judges Ghosts (Update 1)
As the old saying goes, there are endless lies.
This time it’s really an old saying.
A young man like Wei Junjie who knows current affairs knows how to talk to people and to ghosts.
People can still lie.
How much of what ghosts say can be believed?
At Qinhan Pass, Boss Cao only dealt with people at most, and paid more attention to wives, so he was naturally not familiar with the tricks of ghosts.
Not to mention the peripheral vision, this guy's brain is not working well when doing things other than the question.
On the contrary, it is Wei Junjie, Shan Qingyi, and Jiang Bai. The first two often deal with ghosts, and the last guy has thirty-nine suspicions about everyone.
Therefore, when the ghosts complained earlier, the three of them just watched indifferently.
When Jiang Bai took out the revolving lantern, the ghosts were immediately dumbfounded.
But in Jiang Bai's hands, whether they live or die, kill or let go, they can't control it themselves.
The butcher who was the first to speak was grabbed by Jiang Bai and placed next to the lantern. The flames suddenly burst out, and a plume of black smoke immediately appeared. In the smoke, a picture slowly appeared.
He is honest.
He certainly didn't lie.
He is a butcher in the east of the city. He seldom offends people and goes about his business.
But he never mentioned that he was a murderous butcher, selling human flesh, and doing evil things.
Passing traders and locals would circle around his butcher shop and winery, but outsiders who didn't know it were the only ones who accidentally walked into it and lost their lives.
Stealing people's money, killing people, and even making people become ghosts after death is unacceptable.
Before the butcher died, he had killed thirty-four people.
Caught by Jiang Bai with one hand, his face pressed against the fox-skin lantern like a branding iron, the butcher's ghost looked twisted and ferocious, and roared with resentment,
"That's right! I killed someone! What happened?!"
"If I kill someone, do I have to be killed?"
"Besides, I killed people but didn't kill the kid named Du. What kind of thing is he? He is worthy of doing justice for heaven? Even if I fall into trouble, I will admit it if I fall into the hands of the person I killed. That kid named Du thinks he After reading a few sages’ books, I am no longer a ghost! What a joke!”
"Why should he care about me! I am still a human being after all! What kind of thing is he!"
"..."
The butcher knew that he was about to die, so he could only enjoy himself by speaking harshly.
He had killed dozens of people, and his aura and resentment were extremely strong. When he fell into Jiang Bai's hands, he knew that he had no chance of surviving, and even the remaining soul would be wiped out.
Swearing a few more times will make you feel better every second.
Jiang Bai didn't talk nonsense to him. He exerted force with one hand. The butcher's form became more illusory, and the black smoke above his head became thicker and thicker.
Finally, the butcher turned into a ball of black smoke, and the black smoke hit the fox skin lantern.
The smoke dissipated, and there was a black-skinned wild boar on the lantern. It had a green face and fangs, and a ferocious face. It was extremely fierce.
After the wild boar appeared, it was like a shadow puppet show, coming to life, looking left and right, and even raising its head as if laughing.
Soon, he stopped laughing.
Because there is an extra snow fox on the fox skin lantern.
Like playing with its prey, the snow fox casually knocked down the black-skinned wild boar and tore off a piece of skin.
But they are all shadow puppets now. Even if their flesh is torn off, they are still just shadow puppets.
The snow fox tore the piece of flesh into pieces and threw it back to the wild boar.
He is not hunting, he is torturing.
This is the instinct of the snow fox, and it’s what the fox fur lantern forces him to do!
Jiang Bai lit the painter's sky lantern, and there was this snow fox shadow puppet on the lantern. His soul was burned by the flames day and night, unable to survive or die, and the pain was excruciating.
Only in this way can the pain be relieved a little and the pain can be transferred to other shadow puppets.
As the old saying goes, evil people will be punished by evil people.
Than evil?
Who can be as evil as a painter?
After solving the butcher, Jiang Bai raised his head again and looked at the ghosts with kind eyes. The harmless smile of humans and animals was now more terrifying than the Lord of Hell.
"Who is still wronged?"
Who dares to have it!
A group of lonely ghosts were shaking their heads faster than a rattle.
Before the ghosts could change their words, Jiang Bai casually grabbed another ghost and pressed it on the fox-skin lantern. Black smoke came out and the revolving lantern appeared again.
"Well, you are the one who was drowned by the Du family's young master, right?"
"Oh, I was a ferryman outside the city when I was alive. This plot is so cliche. The boat slides to the center of the river and I ask the passenger whether he wants noodles or wonton noodles..."
Jiang Bai looked at the revolving lantern in front of him and shook his head.
"It was indeed the Du family's young master who did something wrong by throwing you into the well and drowning."
"What did Shuijing do wrong?"
Is it easy to dig a well in the city?
Needless to say, when Jiang Bai exerted force on his fingertips again, the water ghost let out a miserable scream, his soul flew away, and a cloud of river mist appeared on the fox-skin lantern.
Snow Fox has a new toy.
As soon as Jiang Bai got rid of the water ghost, Wei Junjie immediately put a ghost into Jiang Bai's hand, while the mirror ghost sang on the side,
"The wronged ghost, No. 003 is complaining!"
"The next one, 004, please come to the waiting area!"
Their set of procedures did not involve any discussion, but they worked together very skillfully.
Even if other ghosts want to escape, they still have to ask Shan Qingyi if he agrees to do it alone.
Jiang Bai not only used 'revolving door', but also chatted with some intimate words and asked for some information about the young master of the Du family.
A sensible ghost will first reflect on his crimes, and then take the initiative to tell all the information he knows about the young master of the Du family.
The previous experiences of several ghosts have told the group of ghosts a bloody reality:
This gentleman, regardless of whether he is doing justice for heaven or not, he is really ruthless in his actions.
Killing ghosts is a daily routine for him, without blinking an eye.
Not to mention anything else, just talking about the snow fox on this fox skin lantern is enough to make the ghosts break out!
No matter how weak they are, they can still see some clues. They know that this snow fox must have been very powerful during his lifetime. Not only was he killed by Jiang Bai, but he was also unable to rest after his death. He was skinned and cramped, and he lit a sky lantern...
There were more than sixty ghosts, which seemed to be a lot, but the interrogation was surprisingly efficient.
"I confess, I killed twelve people, no, thirteen people, I deserve to die!"
"The Du family is the first family in the city. Mr. Du has always had no children. Twenty years ago, he got a son, but suffered drastic changes. Doctors in the city said that the child could not be saved, and it would be difficult for the adults..."
"I heard from a servant of the Du family that a mysterious doctor came to our door twenty years ago, cured Mrs. Du, and even gave birth to the child successfully!"
"Don't mention it. I have a mistress who works as a laundry worker in the Du family. She said that the young master of the Du family died a few days after he was born. Everything he made for him was burned. She saw it with her own eyes!
Later, the Du family started to be haunted..."
"I don't know why Mr. Du is so crazy. Six years after Mr. Du's death, he said that he would hire a teacher to teach him how to read and write, so that he could gain fame and inherit the family business in the future. Others only thought he was talking nonsense, and the servants only thought that he was talking nonsense. When the master got older and thought more about it, he asked a papermaker to tie up two teachers and burn them to make things worse..."
"You ask me why I know this? When I went to rob the papermaker, he was doing this job. I waited until he finished his work before killing him, and I also used these two paper figures in exchange for some rewards..."
"I also know about the paper burning people. A total of eighteen were burned before and after. Master Du has always been dissatisfied. He said that his son was dreaming that the teachers were all made of paper and had no real talent or learning..."
"Later? Later I heard that Master Du gave me another dream, saying that there was a new teacher. I begged you to think of a way to drive this teacher away. He couldn't bear the hardship of studying. If you ask me, I can't stand it. Studying is too hard. I I have eaten the heart and liver of a scholar, and it is so painful that it is difficult to drink..."
"Making up lies? How dare I make up lies? There are twelve paper-making shops in our city, all of which are supported by the Du family! Go and find out, who doesn't know this?
Mr. Du burns tens of thousands of men and horses every year to help out, so the teacher alone has the courage of ten thousand men..."
