Chapter 423
Aoxue winked at Mengling, and she immediately understood and went up to arrest the man who helped Wu Xi prepare the basin just now.

"Don't catch me, it's none of my business, it's none of my business!" The man shouted immediately after being frightened.

"Li Hu? What are you doing?" Seeing this, the village chief stepped forward to stop him.

Aoxue smiled and said, "Don't panic, village chief, this is Li Hu, right? When you helped that Taoist priest prepare something, what did you add to the water?"

"I...I..." Li Hu looked at Wu Xi and then at Aoxue, lost his mind for a while, and was in a dilemma.

"You... who the hell are you guys!" Seeing that he was about to reveal his secrets, Wu Xi yelled angrily while sitting on the ground covering his legs.

"It doesn't matter who we are, it's important who the Taoist is." Aoxue smiled, turned and walked to the water basin, and said to the crowd, "This trick is actually very simple, if everyone here knows how to do it, anyone can do it A master of magic."

"What method? What exactly are you trying to say?" the village head asked.

Aoxue was not in a hurry to answer, she walked up to Li Hu, and said in a contemptuous tone: "If you are sensible, tell the truth, otherwise I will expose you later, and you will have to meet the official with him."

Li Hu was as timid as a mouse, as soon as he heard that he wanted to see the official, he begged immediately: "No, the villain is only a money-obsessed person who will help him. Just now, when Wu Xi asked the villain to prepare water, help him put some things in it. Give the villain a tael of silver after the matter is completed."

"Is this... is this true?" The village chief looked at Li Hu suspiciously, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"You... you all teamed up to frame me!" Wu Xi refused to give up, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly, "I have no grievances or enmity with you, why do you want to kill me!"

"Harming you?" Aoxue sneered, "The thing you let Li Hu put into the water is called sodium. Sodium is an active element that reacts with water to form oxygen and a lot of heat, so it can burn. Then you put a few drops of phenol into the basin Phenol solution, phenolic acid turns red when it meets alkali solution, and phenol reacts with water to form alkali solution, so what you call 'ghost blood' appears, right?"

Wu Xie swallowed, looked at Aoxue helplessly, a trace of fear flashed in his triangular eyes, he kept shrinking his body back.

"It turned out to be like this... so he lied to us?" The village chief finally understood what was going on, and turned around to stare at Wu Xi and cursed, "Well, you fooled us all so much money, pay back the money !"

Seeing that the village chief was in a hurry, the villagers angrily helped Wu Xi to beat and kick him, begging him for the cheated money.

In the end, Wu Xi had no choice but to dissipate all the money on his body to avoid being beaten to death, and then the village chief ordered people to lock Wu Xi up and send him to the government tomorrow morning.

"Thank you ma'am, otherwise we would all be deceived by him." The village chief thanked him.

"Don't thank me, since you know the truth, then let this little girl go." Aoxue said and pushed the little girl behind her out.

Before the village chief could speak, a disheveled young woman suddenly jumped out from the crowd, and she ran over crying and hugged the little girl.

"Yu'er, that's great Yu'er, you're still alive, are you alright? Where did you get hurt? It's all because my sister was useless and they didn't come to rescue you in time. Are you okay?" The woman grabbed the little girl excitedly, burst into tears.

"Sister... I'm fine." The girl named Xiao Yu spoke weakly.

The village chief walked up to Aoxue and said in a low voice: "Madam, you don't know the situation in our village, even if that Wu Xi is a liar, you can't let this girl go!"
