Ma Daopo knew how powerful Jia Cong was, so she could only cooperate obediently.
He told everything he had done and pointed out the things hidden in the room one by one.
Jia Cong looked at Ma Daopo and was a little surprised by everything he took out.
A clay sculpture of evil spirits, several boxes of incense, and a seven-star lantern hanging in the empty room behind the kang. Under the lamp are several straw figures, some with headbands on their heads, some with nails on their chests, and some with chains on their necks. Locked.
There are countless paper figures in the cabinet, and there are a few ledgers at the bottom, which record the amount of silver that a certain house has inspected, etc.
He also asked a lot about the secret affairs of wives and girls from wealthy officials' families.
These were all the scandals of some wealthy families. When Jia Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked and subverted his three views.
Jia Cong asked again, and secretly wrote down the process of her casting the spell to harm people, as well as the method to break it.
These methods of Ma Daopo require specific conditions and have some drawbacks. They are not serious methods. Jia Cong naturally disdains them and does not want these things to spread and harm others.
In front of Ma Daopo, these things and the account books were all burned.
What was enshrined in this temple was not Bodhisattva or Buddha, but some unknown evil gods. Jia Cong ordered Li Biao to pour sesame oil on the entire small temple and burn it clean.
Li Biao said: "Sir, what should I do with this mother-in-law?"
Hearing this, Ma Daopo panicked and said: "Mr. Ning Guo, I have already made my confession clearly. I have absolutely nothing to hide. Please spare my life, Mr. Ning Guo. I will definitely change my mind and start a new life."
Jia Cong shook his head. He didn't believe what this mother-in-law said at all. How could such a person change?
If you keep her, you will leave a scourge behind, and you don’t know how many people will be harmed in the future.
It is my principle to eliminate evil and do everything possible.
Besides, if you offend her, you won't be able to give her a way to survive. Wouldn't that be causing trouble for yourself?
He waved his hand at Li Biao and said, "Send her to confess to Buddha."
Li Biao nodded and without saying a word, he broke Ma Dao Po's neck and threw her into the raging fire.
Jia Cong notified the people from the Nancheng Army and Horse Department to come over and deal with the aftermath. The nearly ten thousand taels of silver they found were also handed over to the Nancheng Army and Horse Department and they took them back to the Yamen.
Whether this matter is big or small, it is better to come forward in the name of the Military and Horse Division.
It also prevents people from making irresponsible remarks afterwards.
······
When Jia Cong returned to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Baoyu and Wang Xifeng were already much better.
Once Ma Daopo, the caster of the spell, dies, the spell will be broken, and the two of them will probably be fine soon.
Seeing Jia Cong's return, Jia's mother quickly asked: "Brother Cong, did you ask about the treatment method? Not long ago, both of them suddenly became quiet. I don't know why?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, old lady. I have found the person who cast the spell and arrested him. If no one casts a spell on them, they will be fine. Burn those two paper figures. Baoyu and Er Sister-in-law will be fine soon."
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Jia Cong in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the person was caught so quickly. Isn't this efficiency too fast? How is this done?
Aunt Zhao's face changed, she looked at Jia Cong in disbelief, and she couldn't help but panic.
The matter between himself and Ma Daopo was very secretive. It was impossible for anyone to know. How did Jia Cong know about it? Isn't it bluffing?
Although I was a little confused, I was still very nervous.
Jia Mu asked: "Brother Cong, did you really catch someone? Who is it that has a bad heart and did this to harm my treasure?"
Jia Cong said: "Old lady, you are all familiar with this person. He is Baoyu's godmother, Ma Daopo."
As soon as these words came out, many people's expressions changed.
Some were surprised and disbelieving, while others were ashen-faced and frightened.
Mrs. Wang said in surprise: "How is this possible? Isn't she Baoyu's godmother? How could she harm Baoyu? Brother Cong, are you mistaken?"
Jia Mu also said: "Yes, brother Cong, are you mistaken? Two days ago, I just gave her a sum of money for sesame oil, saying it was for Baoyu to pray for."
Jia Cong said: "Old lady, this matter is absolutely true. She has confessed it personally. She has harmed many people in the past and recruited them all. Many paper figures were found in her place, as well as some strange things. Weird stuff.”
Jia Mu sighed and said: "You really know people but not their hearts. Why did she want to harm Baoyu and Feng Yatou? There is no grudge between them?"
Jia Cong said: "Of course I was entrusted by others for money."
When Aunt Zhao heard this, she was so frightened that she almost collapsed. This time, she really had no luck at all.
Once Jia Cong tells the truth, he will be completely ruined. The old lady will definitely not let him go, and his man probably won't be able to save him. What should he do?
At this moment, Aunt Zhao was really scared.
I can only pray that Jia Cong, for the sake of Tanchun and Huan'er, don't tell anyone about himself.
Jia's mother said angrily: "Who is this evil person who asked her to harm my Baoyu? Brother Cong, please tell me, I will never spare her."
Jia Cong glanced at Tanchun and sighed, even if it was for this sister, he couldn't say it.
Fortunately, everyone is fine, so let's forget it.
"Old lady, since Baoyu and the second sister-in-law are fine, let's forget about it. I killed that Madam Ma in a fit of anger and didn't have time to ask. It's a bit regretful."
Jia Mu glanced at Jia Cong. She really didn't believe what he said. She probably wanted to help others cover it up.
Seeing that Jia Cong didn't tell her, she had no choice but to ask him again later.
I glanced at everyone in the room and saw Aunt Zhao's appearance, and I made a guess.
This is really a family matter for his youngest son. He looked at Jia Zheng and Tan Chun and sighed helplessly.
Forget it, let them handle it by themselves. Fortunately, Baoyu is fine.
Not long after, Baoyu and Wang Xifeng both woke up.
Jia Mu said excitedly: "Baoyu, you're awake now. You're almost worried about me. Do you feel better now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Although Baoyu woke up, he was still weak and exhausted after struggling for so long.
When Jia's mother asked about it, she said: "I remember when I was sick, I stood still, but it felt like someone hit me behind my back. The front of my painful eyes was dark, and I saw green-faced fangs all over the room. A devil with a sword and a stick.
Lying on the kang, it felt like there were a few headbands on my head, and I didn't know what the pain was from now on. Those evil spirits just now were all burned to ashes by the fire, and there was no one left. My head no longer hurts, and I felt clear in my heart.
I feel weak now and a little hungry, so I want to eat. "
When Jia Mu saw that Baoyu was indeed well, she felt very good and quickly asked people to prepare meals.
Everyone watched Baoyu eat and sleep peacefully. Wang Xifeng was fine as well, so they dispersed.
······
Shenjing City, in the imperial palace.
Xia Shouzhong was lying on the bed, looking very depressed.
He has been lying in bed for more than a month. All other injuries have healed, except that he cannot move his legs.
No matter how hard I tried, it was to no avail.
Could it be that he has become disabled? Will you never be able to stand up again?
When I thought about having to lie in bed for the rest of my life, I suddenly felt very depressed and full of despair.
In this palace, if you are a useless person, no one will care about you. You will only let yourself fend for yourself. Maybe your former enemies will use this to punish you and vent your anger.
Even if they don't come to add insult to injury, as long as someone doesn't bring food to him, he will still starve to death.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shuddered all over.
All of this was caused by that bastard Jia Cong. I really regret it.
Unexpectedly, that bastard Jia Cong really dared to attack me in the palace, and even used a vicious attack to directly maim him. How brave is this?
In his current state, even if he wanted to take revenge, there was nothing he could do.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door was pushed open and a young eunuch came in.
Xia Shouzhong turned around and saw that it was the trusted eunuch beside Concubine Zhou. His eyes lit up, and he didn't expect that Concubine Zhou had not forgotten him.
The young eunuch came closer, looked at Xia Shouzhong, and said, "Eunuch Xia, are you feeling better? Our master asked me to come and see Eunuch Xia."
Xia Shouzhong said: "Thank you, Concubine, for your concern. The old slave's health is probably not going to get better. Please tell the Concubine and ask her to avenge the old slave."
The young eunuch said: "Eunuch Xia, don't worry. I will definitely bring the message to you."
The little eunuch asked a few more questions and then turned around.
Just as Xia Shouzhong calmed down, the door was pushed open again, and three eunuchs walked in.
Xia Shouzhong turned around and looked, and couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
I thought badly that the person leading these people was my enemy Wang Lin. I had dealt with him a lot in the past. If I came here now, it must be someone with bad intentions.
He couldn't move now, so he seemed to be at the mercy of others.
Thinking of this, Xia Shouzhong couldn't help but complain.
Wang Lin stepped forward with a smile and said, "Eunuch Xia, are you lying down? I'm here to say hello to you."
Xia Shouzhong was under the eaves and had to bow his head.
With a smile on his face, he said: "It turns out that the prince is here. It's really hard work. Please forgive me for being ill and unable to get up to greet you. Please sit down quickly."
Wang Lin said with a smile: "Eunuch Xia used to be in great power and was very proud of himself. He was so enviable. Even if he is disabled now and can't move, there are still people taking care of him. He can live a comfortable life without having to worry about it anymore." .
In this life, Eunuch Xia should be content. "
When Xia Shouzhong heard this, his expression changed and he said in horror: "Wang Lin, what do you want to do? Do you want to harm me? I am working for Concubine Zhou. Concubine Zhou will not let you go if she finds out."
】
Wang Lin chuckled and said, "What did Eunuch Xia say? Why can't I understand? I just saw Eunuch Xia lying like this and felt uncomfortable, so I wanted to help you get rid of it. Eunuch Xia doesn't need to thank me."
Xia Shouzhong was frightened now. It seemed that Wang Lin really wanted to kill himself. What should he do?
Now he looked like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, unable to resist Wang Lin's butcher's knife.
In desperation, he could only plead: "My lord, you have offended me a lot in the past, and it's all my fault. Please forgive me. Seeing how I am now, please take pity on me and let me go."
Wang Lin said with a smile: "Eunuch Xia is joking. Thanks to Eunuch Xia's care, I am where I am today. Naturally, I have to repay Eunuch Xia well. Eunuch Xia doesn't need to thank me. Come and send Eunuch Xia on his way." "
Xia Shouzhong said in horror: "You, you, you are brave..."
Before he finished speaking, the two eunuchs beside Wang Lin quickly stepped forward.
One pinched his mouth open, and the other stuffed a pill into his mouth.
Xia Shouzhong wanted to spit out the pill, but the pill melted in his mouth and flowed down his throat into his abdomen. Xia Shouzhong struggled a few times, but there was no more movement.
Wang Lin looked at this scene coldly, and when he saw Xia Shouzhong died, he stepped forward to investigate.
He raised his head and said to the two of them: "You have taken care of the things here, and whatever you gain will be yours."
When the two eunuchs heard this, they were overjoyed and said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Eunuch Wang. I don't dare to take it all for myself. If there is any benefit, I must first respect Eunuch Wang."
Wang Lin smiled, did not refuse, turned around and left the room.
After a while, he found Dai Quan and said, "Wang Lin, please pay a visit to Manager Dai. Eunuch Xia couldn't think about it for a moment and had already committed suicide by taking poison. When the villain found out, he was already hopeless. I came here to report to Manager Dai."
Dai Quan nodded after hearing this.
This Wang Lin did things neatly. He just told him that when Xia Shouzhong died, he would take over Xia Shouzhong's position.
Unexpectedly, Xia Shouzhong was killed so quickly.
This can be regarded as completion, the task Jia Cong gave himself.
If you want to live comfortably for the rest of your life, you must rely on Jia Cong.
Xia Shouzhong said: "Since Xia Shouzhong is dead, all the things he was responsible for will be left to you in the future. Don't make any mistakes and embarrass our family."
Wang Lin said happily: "Don't worry, Mr. Dai. I will definitely work seriously and will never let Mr. Dai down."
Dai Quan waved his hand and let Wang Lin go down.
A eunuch who has lost his power and is disabled will die when he dies. No one will care about him.
It's been more than a month, and even His Majesty has probably forgotten about him a long time ago.
This is the case with people in the palace. Once they are no longer around their master, they will soon be forgotten.
Just as Dai Quan was about to go back, he saw Concubine Zhou coming over with two maids.
Dai Quan quickly cupped his hands and said, "Old slave, I have seen the imperial concubine."
Concubine Zhou said: "Manager Dai, is your Majesty here? I have something to do with your Majesty."
Dai Quan said: "Reporting to the imperial concubine, your majesty is reviewing the memorial. I will go in and report now. Please wait for a moment."
Concubine Zhou smiled and said, "Thank you, Manager Dai."
Dai Quan left for a while and then came back and said to Concubine Zhou: "Your Majesty, your Majesty will let you in."
Concubine Zhou nodded and followed Dai Quan into the imperial study.
"I, my concubine, see your majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."
