Hearing that Xue Xiaobao and Xu Ba'an were probably imprisoned in Donglin Temple, Qin Qiaoer immediately called in a red-clothed envoy and asked him to quickly find Zhu Xiucai.
"After finding Zhu Xiucai, ask them to rush to Donglin Temple to investigate. Remember to remind them to stay vigilant and not to alert the snake. If Xiaobao and Mr. Xu are found, notify us immediately. If there is a critical situation, we can respond accordingly."
"yes."
The red-clothed envoy held his sword and took the order, and immediately went to look for Zhu Xiucai and others.
"Wait a moment."
Qin Shaoyou stopped the red-clothed envoy and gestured to Baihuguan, asking him to answer later.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou took out a small brass tube from his arms, released the shadow demon living inside, and ordered it to set off with the red-clothed envoy and listen to Zhu Xiucai's orders.
After the shadow demon got into the shadow of the red-clothed messenger and left the house with him, and out of the Shi Nan Mansion Demon Suppression Division, Qin Shaoyou turned his attention to Baihuguan again and motioned for him to answer the previous question.
Baihuguan swallowed.
He could finally see that these red-clothed messengers were not only so powerful that it made people despair, but they also carried a lot of treasures and supernatural items.
Just like the shadow demon just now, if these red-clothed envoys didn't want to capture people alive for interrogation, but sent the shadow demon to sneak in and assassinate them, they might not even know how they died.
Although he knew that his results would not be very good, Baihuguan still chose to cooperate obediently.
The torture experience just now made him really not want to do it again.
Baihuguan quickly said: "Donglin Temple is a well-known ancient temple in Shi Nan Mansion. All the people Li Tingfang seduced and forcibly captured were imprisoned in Donglin Temple because his son was fostered there."
When Qin Qiaoer heard this, she raised her brows and captured the key information: "Li Tingfang killed Juren and took heart and soul, all for his son?"
"yes."
"Why? Is his son a monster?"
Baihuguan shook his head: "Li Tingfang's son is not a monster, he is just born stupid. He fostered his son in the temple to seek blessings from Bodhisattvas so that the child could grow up healthily, but it was of no use... As for murdering people and taking heart , all to cure his son’s stupidity.”
Under Baihuguan's narration, the two siblings Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer soon had a rough understanding of the whole incident.
It turned out that Li Tingfang had never had a child before and tried various methods, whether it was asking famous doctors for diagnosis and treatment, taking in multiple concubines in a row, or praying to Buddha and seeking immortality, all to no avail.
Until I came to work in Shi Nan Mansion, I didn't know where I found a folk remedy. After taking it, my beloved concubine got pregnant and gave birth to a son.
Li Tingfang was extremely happy about this matter.
As a result, it was later discovered that his son was stupid and his mind was far weaker than ordinary people, so he hurriedly went to seek medical advice and seek divination from immortals.
There was a fortune teller who said that he had no offspring because he had done all the bad things and was punished by God. To forcefully give birth to a child by taking medicine was an act against nature, and the child would have no courage and become a fool.
After Li Tingfang heard this divination, he was furious and wanted to kill the fortune teller. However, the fortune teller gave him a way, saying that by nourishing him with human blood and feeding his heart and courage, his stupid son could recover. normal.
And if you can give that child the courage of some scholars with real ability and knowledge, it will not only speed up the recovery, but also make the child smart and bold, and achieve a career.
Li Tingfang did not believe these words at first, thinking that the fortune teller was cursing him, and killed him in anger. Later, I had no choice but to give it a try, and it turned out that it really worked.
From then on, Li Tingfang began to kill people crazily, remove their hearts, take their blood and cut their gallbladders.
After listening to Baihuguan's story, Qin Shaoyou looked gloomy and asked: "In other words, the people killed by Li Tingfang were not just those few people? There were also many ordinary people?"
"yes."
"How many people has he killed over the years to cure his son's illness?"
"I don't know about this. There must be a lot of them. The few people who filed the case were all because their families had some influence in Chuzhou. Their families came to report the case, so they had to give an explanation. Also, Many family members of Juren did not know where they died and did not report the case. Naturally, we will not investigate. As for ordinary people, many of them will not report the case even if they die, and will not take any action if the case is reported..."
"Thankfully you are still the night watchmen. Knowing that Li Tingfang believed in evil laws and practiced evil arts, not only did you not take him down, you actually helped him to harm the people."
Qin Qiaoer gritted her teeth with hatred.
"We didn't want to either, we were all forced."
Baihuguan quickly defended himself.
"Actually, I was not the Baihu Official of the Demon Suppression Department of Shi Nanfu before, I was just a general under his command.
When the top 100 households were investigating the case of Ju Ren's disappearance, they found Li Tingfang's head. Li Tingfang promised to bribe him with huge profits, but after he flatly refused, he was killed on the spot.
Not satisfied with killing someone, Li Tingfang also accused his predecessor, Bai Hu, of having an affair with demon thieves and causing trouble in the area. His family was implicated and he was sent to the frontier to join the army.
Some night watchmen who were unwilling to submit to Li Tingfang were also killed in that incident.
People from the Zhouzhen Demon Division came down to investigate, but they didn't know what method Li Tingfang used to fool him away. Those of us, including our wives, children, and children, were all local, and we were threatened by him as hostages, and we had to give in to him. "
Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer only believed 80% of what Baihuguan said.
As for them, they don't believe Li Tingfang who says they were threatened and had to obey Li Tingfang's orders.
Perhaps at the beginning, they were indeed threatened and had to help others.
But later, when they were promoted and made a fortune under Li Tingfang's care, their attitude changed from passive to active.
Otherwise, when this Baihuguan was just taken down by him, he would not be so active in trying to tip off the information.
Qin Shaoyou snorted coldly and was not in a hurry to expose the other party. He just asked: "What kind of cultivation is that Li Tingfang? What skills does he have?"
Baihuguan told everything he knew about the situation:
"I don't know Li Tingfang's specific cultivation level, but he is probably a fifth-grade Confucian scholar. Apart from the Confucian mantra, we have never seen any other abilities.
However, he had several Miao witches around him, and it is said that he had saved the lives of those Miao witches before the eccentric Miao witches were willing to accept him as their master.
Those Miao witches are not weak in strength, and they are especially good at exorcising ghosts and practicing gu. They used witchcraft to collect blood essence and blood for Li Tingfang's son.
We were forced to follow Li Tingfang's orders and had a certain relationship with those Miao witches. They planted a witchcraft in our bodies, and every once in a while it would happen. Without the antidote given by Li Tingfang, he would have been miserable. "
"What's in your body is the blood snake voodoo. It's not very powerful, but you just don't know how to crack it." Taoist priest Qiu Shi interrupted.
When Taoist Master Qiu Shi tortured this Baihuguan before, he discovered that someone had planted a poison in his body.
However, Taoist Master Qiu Shi was also very brave. Not only did he not avoid these blood snake voodoos, he also used them in turn to stimulate the blood snake voodoos and torment Baihuguan, doubling his pain.
Blood snake Gu does not have the ability to communicate, so there is no fear of using them to alert others.
Baihuguan smiled bitterly and said nothing.
Qin Shaoyou understood what he meant and sneered: "Even if they know how to crack it, they don't dare to use it easily, especially after they follow Li Tingfang and get promoted and make a fortune."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Shaoyou and Qin Qiaoer seized the time and asked for some clues of concern.
After the questions were almost finished, Qin Shaoyou turned to look at Sixth Sister: "According to the "Daxia Law" and the rules of our Demon Suppression Department, how should we deal with a situation like his?"
Qin Qiaoer said in a deep voice: "The first rule of our Demon Suppression Department's family law is that any night watcher who knows the law and breaks the law, and colludes with sneaky demons to harm the people, will be killed!"
