There is a starving ghost in Qingyun Temple

Shen Huihe frowned and raised his hand suddenly.The few servants who were eager to give it a try shrank back like a turtle, fearing that they would be knocked over by some evil wind and strange force again.

"Wait a minute! Are you saying that the bride is dead, and the manner of death is exactly the same as the previous cat demon murders?!"

"Yes, yes. Do you still dare to quibble and say that you are a Taoist master?! You are just a charlatan. No matter how you escape, you can't escape from the Duke of Qin's mansion. Why don't you hurry up and catch us!"

"I will definitely not escape!"

Shen Huihe waved his sleeves, and another strong wind blew up, separating the two of them from seven or eight barbaric men by three feet, and the two groups were completely isolated.

"Pindao will go with you!"

Before they reached the courtyard of the bride and groom, there were already a dozen expressionless guards and government soldiers in military robes standing guard outside the courtyard.There was also intermittent, sobbing and crying coming from inside.

Many people came to the yard.

Duke Guo of Qin and Marquis Jingming stood at the front, their faces heavy and sad.The eldest lady of Jingminghou Mansion was supported by someone, covering her face and crying bitterly, communicating through tears.Mrs. Fang was sitting on a stone stool, her face seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, she was crying so hard that she couldn't breathe and couldn't even stand up.

Yuan Huaifu now collapsed on the ground, trembling and shaking his shoulders, mumbling as if he was possessed.Xu Shi saw the miserable condition of the bride with his own eyes and was so frightened that he couldn't help but urinate.

Behind him stood everyone from the Yuan family, looking at each other in confusion.

Standing on the other side were two middle-aged men wearing green robes and official uniforms. Their big eyes were staring at their small eyes, cold sweat was dripping from their foreheads, and they were a little at a loss. They should be County Magistrate Liu and Lieutenant Ma of Pingjiang City.

The two of them were naturally invited to the wedding banquet today.

But what is surprising is that even the prince of Jingbei, Li Yun, and the princess of Zhaoqing, Guo Ningzhi, also came.

Shen Huihe glanced at Li Yun. Li Yun was talking to Guo Ningzhi, as if he was gently comforting her.

As soon as Mrs. Fang saw Shen Huihe and Huikong, she cried even more heartbrokenly. She stood up but stumbled suddenly. Fortunately, the maid beside her supported her in time.

She yelled: "Hurry up, arrest these two charlatans! The cat demon killed someone, but you can't find it, you can't find it, you can't find it, you two are the murderers——"

"Shut up! Are you done yet?!" Yuan Ji interrupted her impatiently and looked at the two of them coldly, "Master Miao'an, the mansion is heavily guarded today, but tonight a cat demon still killed someone. It could be that you two are not doing your job well, so what else can you say?"

Shen Huihe raised his eyebrows, looked at him calmly and looked past several guards in black: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Your Majesty, I am benevolent and righteous. Please don't be anxious, please." Listen to Pindao’s few words of rebuttal.”

"You -" Yuan Ji was already full of anger, but in a blink of an eye, he was put in such a position by this little lady, and there were state officials watching around him, how could he get angry easily, "You, you, let's see what you can say What’s the nonsense?!”

"Returning to the country, sir, if a cat demon murder really happens in the mansion tonight, once the cat demon appears, there will definitely be movement on the talismans and formations in the courtyard. But tonight, the talismans of Qingyun Temple buried in the courtyard did not move at all. It works. These talisman papers were all described by Master Qing Xuzi himself. It doesn't matter if the Duke of Guo doesn't believe in Pindao and his junior brother. Is he questioning the ability of Master Qing Xuzi? Or is he questioning the 500 years of Qingyun Temple? Where’s the reputation?”

Yuan Ji opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.In the past when he was in Chang'an, he had personally witnessed Qing Xuzi's profound Taoist skills of slaying demons and destroying demons with one against a hundred, and he still had some respect for Master Qing Xuzi's name. "Hmph! Although I have heard of your master's name, I don't know whether you two are real or fake. If the cat demon cannot be defeated and the truth cannot be found, you two will be buried with the bride. Just Qingyun Temple. What are you afraid of?!"

He glared fiercely at the two officials on the other side who were cowering and not daring to breathe, and said angrily: "Liu County Magistrate, Ma County Lieutenant, a cat demon murderer has been investigated for two months and still can't find anything." For clues, if the murderer cannot be found tonight, the two of you will not have to keep your black hats on your head! Tomorrow, I will write a letter to the Queen Mother and send you two to the north - "

"My lord, please calm down, my lord, please calm down -" Magistrate Liu and Lieutenant Ma walked to the front tremblingly and agreed. Then they quickly turned around and motioned to several officials and gangsters behind them to go into the house to investigate the case.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Huihe bowed slightly and saluted the two officials.

Magistrate Liu and Lieutenant Ma looked at each other with bated breath.

"Pindao would like to say hello to Magistrate Liu and Lieutenant Ma County. Pindao is a Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple in Fuzhou. Although Pindao is not familiar with criminal cases, he has traveled all over the country for many years and has seen many bizarre ghosts and gods murdering people. Moreover, Pindao has traveled all over the country for many years. If we don't find out the truth behind this cat monster's murder, I'm afraid Pindao and Adi will be buried with him. I wonder if Pindao can go with the two superiors to check it out?"

County Magistrate Liu had long heard of the reputation of Qingyun Temple, so having one more person to help him was something he wanted, but he couldn't seem too eager for success.

He glanced at Yuan Ji, then turned his head and glanced at Li Yun, who had nothing to do with him. After some hesitation, he said with difficulty: "Well, well, well -"

"Magistrate Liu——"

Everyone was stunned. Magistrate Liu seemed to have grasped the only life-saving straw and quickly responded respectfully: "Your Majesty, please speak. I am all ears."

"I think this is a good idea."

"I am all ears, and I hope that the prince will not hesitate to clear up any doubts." County Magistrate Liu wished that Li Yun would say more, and hurriedly took care of his urgent needs.

"There is Xuanzhen in the north and Qingyun in the south. Qingyun Temple has always been quite famous. When there was a flood in Nanzhou before, the saint personally sent someone to invite the real person from Qingyun Temple to investigate the method. Therefore, firstly, maybe this real person really has something Fa Zi wishes you a helping hand. Secondly, you won’t lose anything, so why not do it?”

He paused, looked at the loving Guo Ningzhi beside him, and asked softly: "Azhi, do you want to help the Duke find out the truth?"

Guo Ningzhi was startled, then nodded without saying anything: "Of course I am very willing."

"That's good. My prince and Princess Zhaoqing are both here tonight. The two of us will not be partial to anyone. We can also give it to Magistrate Liu and Lieutenant Ma who work impartially, and to the Duke of Qin who need the truth. Everyone, as well as the two Taoist priests who need to be innocent, can bear witness. What does County Magistrate Liu think?"

"This method is very good, this method is very good. Sure enough, the prince has thought carefully and thoughtfully." Magistrate Liu nodded gratefully.

"But..." Li Yun changed the topic.
