"Our homes are all near the city of Wu'an..."
By the Qingqing River, several women gathered over and knelt in front of Chu Liang, begging him to uphold justice. Chu Liang hurriedly helped everyone up, and then asked what was going on, and the woman in red began to tell.
It turned out that they were all locals of Wu'an City during their lifetime, most of them were girls from ordinary families, and there were two girls from brothels. Originally, they had their own lives and had no intersection. The reason why they came here was because they encountered the same demon.
"That man is Su Wei, the son of Su Shengyan, the lord of Wu'an City..."
A city lord holds all the power except military power. He is the highest-ranking person in the city and is often directly called the "city lord". And the son of the city lord is the top second generation here.
Su Wei would kidnap any woman he fell in love with and take her back to his house, and then kill her brutally after he got hold of her. In the past few years, more than a dozen women have suffered.
The resentful souls of some of the victims were floating in the city lord's palace and would have dissipated soon. Fortunately, they discovered that there is a secret realm hidden in this scroll, which can be used for the soul to attach to. In it, the spiritual energy is dense, the soul is nourished, and a little bit of Taoism is added.
It's just that the flow of time in this secret realm is much slower than that in the outside world. Some of them have only been in for a few days, but years have passed outside. They couldn't move too far away from the scroll, so they had not dared to wander out for fear of being discovered by the practitioners in the city lord's mansion.
Until the day before yesterday, Tang Song went to the city lord's mansion to have a banquet. During the dinner, he discovered this scroll and fell in love with it. Su Shengyan saw that he loved painting, so he gave him the painting "Ladies in the Eastern Suburbs" at a low price as a favor.
Only then did they have the opportunity to show up and bring Tang Yuan into the picture, also to let him help seek justice. I don’t want to waste a whole day outside just by saying thank you.
This attracted the Shushan cultivators that Tang Song asked for help.
After a few words, several girls started sobbing when they mentioned their tragic life experiences.
"I see..." Chu Liang murmured.
No wonder the Tang family's young master had been missing for a day and nothing happened. They came out just to find someone for help.
Looking at Tang Yu'an who looked happy and vain, he thought to himself that there was no need to thank him so thoroughly.
Then I heard Tang Yu'an say very earnestly: "Young Master Chu, since you are a disciple of Shushan and have excellent cultivation, you must help them! We cannot let that evil person go unpunished! We must leave justice in the world!"
Judging from his expression and tone, he was a little more anxious than these victims.
Chu Liang nodded.
My heart says that although this thank you is unnecessary, it is very effective.
"If this is indeed the case, then I will definitely seek justice for you all and will not allow this evil deed to be buried." Chu Liang said sternly: "Young Master Tang, please follow me out first, so that your parents don't worry."
"Okay." Tang Yu'an turned around and held the hand of the woman in the green dress. "Xiao Cui, just wait for me for a moment. I will come back to you soon."
We've only known each other for a short while, why are we so reluctant to part with you?
Chu Liang cursed, and then gently saluted the women, "Everyone, please wait a moment."
The woman in red waved her hand and opened the door to the secret realm for them. Chu Liang turned around and left with Tang Yu'an.
They were able to sense and enter this secret realm at first because the spirit object had a virtual body, making it easier to walk between heaven and earth. The more you walk, the more you master the path.
Living people with entities have weaker perceptions in this regard.
In terms of understanding the true and false world, people in the Yang world will never be as good as those in the Yin world. Therefore, it is said that when a powerful person understands some great ways, he will use the method of out-of-body visualization to find the feeling of being empty in the world.
call out--
In a flash of light, Chu Liang took Tang Yuan back to the painting room.
Immediately.
Then he saw Jiang Yuebai's beautiful face, which was sinking like water.
…
"Listen to my explanation..."
Chu Liang immediately guessed that the way he looked in the scroll just now was probably not very good-looking.
"Needless to say, just rescue them." Jiang Yuebai said with a sullen face, "Has the ghost inside been solved?"
"That's not the case. This matter needs to be explained in detail." Chu Liang said hurriedly, "What you see in the scroll is just the first scene when you first entered. It was just an accident! What happened afterward is not at all like what you thought. If you don’t believe me, ask Mr. Tang.”
"Yes." Tang Yu'an had an aftertasteful smile on his face, "You can't imagine the happiness that will follow."
"..." Chu Liang was speechless.
Do you know that no one will come to save you next time if you keep doing this?
Just as he was about to say something else, the Tang family members heard the noise and rushed in. As soon as Tang Song saw his son, he immediately ran over nervously and looked concerned for a while.
It was noisy for a while.
"Dad, we still have business to do!" Tang Yu'an broke free and said, "We have to help those girls get justice."
"Just leave this matter to us to resolve." Chu Liang finally caught the words and began to recount what he had just seen.
"The secret realm in the painting..." Jiang Yuebai pondered for a moment after hearing this, "The palace painter of the previous dynasty should also be a master of the seventh realm, and be proficient in the two avenues of time and space. Only then could it be possible to create such a painting in a scroll. Space."
"Well..." Chu Liang nodded in agreement.
It is currently known that the avenues involving time include years and boundless, and the avenues involving space include Qiankun and Wudi... Each has a different focus, and if you want to create such an exquisite secret realm, you must at least master the years and the universe at the same time. It is extremely difficult to integrate the two avenues.
After hearing about the crime in the City Lord's Mansion, Jiang Yuebai immediately frowned and seemed a little angry.
"These poor girls..." she said in a deep voice, "we must help them."
"Hiss..." Tang Song looked embarrassed when he heard this, "Is he the son of City Lord Su? That's going to be difficult."
"No matter who he is, now that we know about this matter, we can't let it go. Not to mention the son of the city lord, I have treated even the young marquis." Chu Liang said.
"I have also read about Chu Shaoxia's chivalrous and righteous deeds in Nanguan City in the Di newspaper, but..." Tang Song said, "The chief officer of Wu'an City, Su Shengyan, is really not the kind of idle prince. What can be compared is that his backer... is the current prime minister!"
"Um?"
Tang Song then talked about Su Shengyan.
This man's whole life was achieved by following the trend of others. He was originally a poor scholar who had failed in the imperial examination for many years. His family name was Lu. Later, she climbed up Gao Zhi'er and married into a wealthy local family, changing her surname to Yang. His father-in-law helped him smoothen the relationship and got him an official position as a small official in the yamen. Within ten years, he climbed to the position of a government official in the city, which was an important position in charge of adjudicating cases in the yamen.
He is considered the third in command in the city.
This was not over yet. He took the opportunity to go to Yudu City to report on his work and actually got in touch with Su Qian, the then new prime minister. He was several years older than Su Qian, and he actually worshiped Su Qian as his adoptive father! After that, his surname was changed to Su, which became his current name.
With this big tree to lean on, he would feel happy when he returned to Wu'an City. Soon he got rid of the then chief official of the city and took the position himself. Later, he divorced his wife and married another, and also ruined the family of his ex-wife, who was very kind to him.
Nowadays, in Wu'an City, no one dares to disobey what he says.
"Good guy." Chu Liang shook his head after hearing this, "I have been wandering for half my life..."
"So if you want to overthrow him in Wu'an City, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky." Tang Song sighed: "Of course I am not advising you to give up, but I just need to pay attention to the key points. You must find definite evidence, and you cannot act rashly. Although Shushan is the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, it will still be difficult to deal with if he catches the law of the imperial court."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang, for reminding us. We have a sense of caution." Jiang Yuebai nodded.
In fact, it was impossible for Jiang Yuebai to directly identify Su Wei as a criminal without him having to say anything.
No matter how trustworthy the words of the wronged souls are, they are only one-sided words. If there is no concrete evidence, it would be reckless to assume that the person committed the crime.
She and Chu Liang looked at each other and immediately understood what the other was thinking.
But soon Jiang Yuebai seemed to remember something, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he immediately looked elsewhere.
The corners of Chu Liang's eyes drooped.
well……
