The moment his consciousness returned, Liang Jiunan looked at the infant ghost bound by the spell and sighed, with a look of pity in his eyes.
Li Shangjing saw the problem, raised his hand, and put the baby ghost back into the demon-suppressing bag: "Nine Difficulties, what did you see with your spiritualism?"
"Yes, you look very bad." Yu Langya showed a worried expression.
Liang Jiunan showed a wry smile and told everything he saw in the spiritualism.
Yu Langya had a hot temper and immediately raised his eyebrows in anger:
"What a vicious woman!"
"How could the dignified wife of Pei Sima drown her newborn baby to death like this!"
"Absurd! Hateful!"
Li Shangjing's face was gloomy and he asked: "Nine Difficulties, you mean... the dead baby ghosts were probably drowned to death by the head wife of the Pei family?"
Liang Jiunan frowned:
"This is also what I am confused about!"
"Although it can be inferred in this direction at present, but... if it is said that the dead babies were all drowned by the wife, is this reasonable?"
"The Pei family who lives here is only of Pei Ji's lineage. Even if he is a powerful man, he can't give birth to hundreds of children!"
Li Shangjing changed the topic: "Nine Difficulties, can you still draw the talisman on the barrel?"
Liang Jiunan was stunned for a moment, and then he suggested that he could give it a try.
He took the pen and ink, thought about it carefully, and then drew a rough sketch on the white paper.
Yu Langya took a closer look, but couldn't help but be confused: "This spell... doesn't seem to be a Taoist scripture? It is also very different from the local alchemy."
But Li Shangjing stared at the incantation, and after a long moment of gloominess, he said word by word: "This is... the art of washing women in the eldest room!"
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya looked at each other, obviously they had never heard of this technique.
Li Shangjing sat aside and explained in a solemn voice:
"This is a win-weary technique that has been passed down from the Shang and Zhou dynasties."
"Later, after evolving in areas such as the Baipu tribe and the Four Towns of Anxi, an evil Feng Shui sacrificial method was formed."
"To put it simply, a newborn baby girl is drowned in the water."
"Once a baby, bride, or old man dies, his or her resentment will be far greater than that of others."
"As long as it works properly, this resentment can be transformed into blessings and transferred to the key points of family feng shui."
"In this way, everything will go smoothly! We will make a lot of money!"
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this.
Yu Langya's voice trembled: "Just... just for the sake of family feng shui, you can sacrifice your own daughter?"
Li Shangjing shook his head helplessly:
"It was a daughter who died, not a son. What does it matter to those aristocratic families?"
"Nine Difficulties, what you saw, the use of blood instead of pure water, and the talismans posted around the barrel, should be an improved method, in order to further stimulate the evil spirit of the infant ghost."
"The deeper the evil spirit, the deeper the blessing energy it will evolve into after being transformed by the talisman."
"I'm afraid the Pei family didn't start doing this kind of thing from Pei Ji's generation."
"No wonder, as Pei Ji is not an outstanding member of the Pei family, how could he hold an official position like Yangzhou Sima in such a short period of time. It seems..."
The words are not complete, but the meaning is obvious.
The "blessing" brought by Changfang's female bathing technique made Pei Ji's official career prosperous!
Yu Langya suppressed his anger and said in a condensed voice:
"Now the evidence is conclusive. Sir, only by surrounding the Pei Mansion with the Demon Subduing Division can we ensure that the key criminal will not escape!"
"After all, what we did at the Pei family dock cannot be hidden from Pei Sima and the royal wife!"
Liang Jiunan looked troubled:
"Sister Langya, I'm afraid it's safer to explore at night!"
"First of all, we have no evidence to prove that the Pei family killed children other than those in the family."
"To put it bluntly, according to today's laws, if Pei Sima kills all his own children, at most... he will only have a bad reputation."
"Secondly, only I can see the art of summoning spirits. To say that the evidence is conclusive is probably a bit far-fetched."
Yu Langya's breath was stagnant and he sat aside angrily.
Li Shangjing obviously agrees with Liang Jiunan:
"Let's do this. Tonight...I will take my colleagues and the governor to Pei Mansion to cover you."
"You take the opportunity to enter the backyard."
"As long as I can find more effective evidence, I can convince the governor to arrest Pei Sima immediately!"
"But remember one thing, never hurt anyone in the Pei family before the evidence is clear!"
Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya stood up immediately: "No!"
…
At Youshi, Li Shangjing also followed the plan and brought Yangzhou Governor Liang and other officials to the Pei family's residence.
Governor Chen is a slender man. Because of his seventh-grade cultivation, he has an aura of calmness and authority.
When the carriage stopped at Pei Mansion, Pei Ji was already dressed neatly and waiting at the door for a long time.
Seeing Governor Chen get off the carriage, Pei Ji quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, Pei Ji, see you, Lord Governor."
Governor Chen waved his hand:
"Okay, on the first day of the first lunar month, many colleagues in the Si Yamen are still on vacation, so don't stick to this."
"Pei Sima, please. Regarding what happened to the Pei family yesterday, I also want to hear your words in person."
On the side, Li Shangjing looked at the unfamiliar faces around Pei Ji and sneered in his heart.
These humanoid figures are restrained, and although they are wearing servant clothes, the aura of practitioners cannot be easily hidden.
But on the other hand, with all the hidden masters in the Pei Mansion around, Liang Jiunan and Yu Langya's success rate in infiltrating is even greater.
…
At this time, seeing that Li Shangjing and others had entered the outer courtyard, the two people lurking near the wall looked at each other and quietly came to the inner courtyard of Pei Mansion under the cover of night.
Perhaps because they knew that the governor was coming, the entire Pei Mansion became busy again.
Even though these maids and servants had worried expressions on their brows, they did not dare to neglect the work in their hands.
Liang Jiunan looked at Yu Langya: "Sister, how are you doing?"
Yu Langya formed a seal with his hands, his eyes flickered, and he looked down at the surroundings.
After a while, Yu Langya looked solemn:
"Nine Difficulties, everyone here has evil energy in them!"
"In this case, either everyone was involved in drowning the baby."
"Either, the evil spirit is already too strong! Even an innocent person's life cannot withstand the erosion of this evil spirit!"
"I don't know what will happen to Pei Ji and the others if this continues, but these maids and servants, without the support of the Pei family's luck, will only die tragically!"
"but……"
Yulangya followed the direction of the evil aura and pointed at one of the houses: "There was no evil energy around that house! The entire Pei Mansion, even the front yard and the place where the maids and servants lived, was filled with murderous aura. This place alone has no impact!”
Liang Jiunan glanced at her and couldn't help but be shocked: "According to the clues provided by the brothers in the intelligence department, that should be the residence of the Pei family's mistress - Mrs. Pei!"
