Chapter 65: The Storm

Probably believing that no one would dare to enter the bamboo house at this time to disturb the ghost king and the ghost bride's cave room, so the man's movements were not panicked and cautious, but rather calm. I guess I've done this kind of thing a lot of times.

Jiang Rong couldn't help but think of what the old woman said before, that those ghost brides in the past were brought back to the underworld by the ghost king, and now combined with this person's actions, she faintly felt as if she had touched something extraordinary.

After tearing off the ghost bride's red wedding dress, the man put the clothes on the bed again, and it looked as if the person who had been wrapped in it had disappeared out of thin air.

Then, he turned around and walked towards the center of the room, Jiang Rong hurriedly retracted his gaze and stood up, for fear of being discovered by this person.

He crouched down in the middle of the room and pressed down on one part of the floor, and then the floor in that place turned up a little, and he lifted the floor directly, and there was a passage on the ground that was large enough for one person to enter and exit.

Seeing this, Jiang Rong immediately had a bold idea in his heart, could it be that this person actually wanted to get the ghost bride somewhere? Then the whereabouts of those ghost brides in the past are easy to explain.

Could it be that these people are human traffickers?! Otherwise, how can they explain the deliberate efforts to do these things? What's more, the ghost brides selected at the Halloween Festival every year are the most beautiful girls in ten miles and eight towns.

But there seems to be something wrong, because there is only one Halloween every year, so these people can only get one girl every year, and there are only a dozen in total in the past ten years, even if they are sold to Fengyue places, how much silver can they earn?

But now it is obvious that this person wants to get that girl away, and Jiang Rong has to stop it even if he can't think clearly. It doesn't matter if you don't run into her, how can you stand by and watch now that you meet her?

It's just that this gang also has to share how to help, Jiang Rong doesn't want to put herself in, besides, she still has to find her brother, she can't follow this passage to find the person behind the scenes, right? She doesn't have such noble sentiments yet, and she doesn't have that time.

Just as the man opened the passage and turned to carry the girl lying on the bed in, Jiang Rong shot a bead out of his hand and knocked the red candle burning on the table to the ground.

The strength of her hand was well controlled, and the candle fell to the ground before it was extinguished, and the wax oil in it spilled onto the ground in an instant, and then as soon as the flame ignited, the floor instantly burst into flames.

The entire bamboo building is made of bamboo, which burns more easily than wood, so you don't need to imagine what will happen next.

The fire spread so fast that when the man got up with the unconscious girl in his arms, the fire on the floor burst out and had already burned to the walls, and the passage in the center of the room had fallen into flames.

This time, the man's back road was also blocked.

"Where did the fire come from!" The man was shocked, hurriedly retreated, and suddenly encountered this incident, and he was at a loss for a while.

Looking at the entrance of the passage, there was even more flames, and if he jumped in now, he could still escape, but obviously this person didn't have that much courage.

Jiang Rong quickly rushed out, came to the outside of the bamboo building in three or two steps, and shouted loudly outside: "The bamboo building is on fire!" The bamboo building is on fire! Come and put out the fire! โ€

When everyone heard this, was this worth it? The place where the candles in the ghost king's cave room is on fire, why don't you hurry up and copy the guy to put out the fire!

This shows the advantage of being overcrowded, plus there are many vendors here, who can not have a two-pot bucket or something?

Besides, there is a river not far away, and there is enough water to fight the fire.

What's more, there is Jiang Rong, the "culprit", here, worried that everyone would not be able to put out the fire, so when everyone was fighting the fire, she also made a Yulin talisman.

So it didn't take long for the fire in the bamboo building to be extinguished.

For fear that something would happen to the ghost king and the ghost bride inside, everyone didn't care about offending or not offending at this time, and directly broke in.

It's just that, to everyone's surprise, there was no ghost king inside, but instead bumped into a strange man who escaped from the wolf bรจi head-on.

Where did this man come from? Could it be that he set the fire?

Regardless of whether it is or not, it is already very suspicious for this person to run out of the bamboo building of the ghost king and the ghost bride's cave room, and everyone naturally has no reason to let people go lightly, and suddenly they rushed up and tied the person, and kept it for a while to ask.

After entering, they found that there was a hidden passage in the bamboo building, and they didn't know where it led.

When did such a passage appear in a good bamboo building?

Ordinary people are just superstitious about ghosts and gods, but it does not mean that they are stupid and have lost the ability to think.

Now that something like this has happened in the bamboo building, how can they not take a good look at it?

Later, this incident also alarmed the mayor, the mayor is a sober mind, he saw something wrong from the passage in the bamboo building, and after thinking about it, he felt that this matter was not ordinary, it may have a lot to do with it, and it was not something that a small mayor could handle, so he reported to the county office.

In the end, such a "ghost bride incident" actually involved a big case, with the passage in the bamboo building in Liuxian Town as a breakthrough, under the close investigation of the government, it was also found in many other places in the country.

He even found out the various criminal dens hidden behind the passage, and caught many criminals on the spot.

The result is under the first trial, but it is terrible! The government found that this criminal gang had been rampant in secret for more than ten years, and all criminal cases across the country were inseparable from this gang, and there were even big people hiding behind it!

It's just that most of the people they caught were just some small minions and small bosses at the bottom, and there were not a few real core characters, and these people were also confused by the second monk about the things above, and they couldn't explain much valuable information.

However, it is also because this mysterious big man is covered with a lot of shelter for this criminal gang, that they have been in chaos under the nose of the government for so many years.

According to these people's confessions, they have done everything they have done, but the most important thing is human trafficking, especially beautiful women. These beautiful women will be sent to a certain place, and the people above will contact them, and they will not be able to get their hands on them.

Originally, these people acted cautiously and skillfully, and they were not as brutal and direct as ordinary criminals, but knew how to use clever names.

Just like the "ghost bride incident" in Liuxian Town this time, if Jiang Rong, an atheist from modern times, saw through the tricks of these people, I don't know how many people's daughters would have harmed them.

In addition, there were people covering them again, and as a result, the crimes they had repeatedly committed had not been discovered by the government for more than ten years.

During this period, I don't know how many families were killed and their wives were separated. The list of sins they have committed is too numerous to mention!

As soon as this case came out, the Great Qi Dynasty caused a sensation, and even the emperor was alarmed.

In the following period, a wave of turmoil was set off across the country, and the mysterious big man hidden behind the criminal gang caused the people to talk a lot.

It is said that many officials in Shangjing have been implicated in this case, and have been demoted, deposed, and beheaded.

However, these vigorous events are far away from the small town of Liuxian, and when the people in the town heard that a big official was pulled off the horse or beheaded, they just sighed and talked for a while.

However, the incident of the unprovoked fire in the bamboo building could arouse their conversation even more.

Everyone sighed, maybe it was really the ghost king's blessing. Otherwise, how could the bamboo building catch fire?

Maybe the Ghost King couldn't stand it, so he cast a spell to expose the tricks of the kidnappers and make the people no longer be deceived.

As a result, the custom of worshipping ghosts and gods in Liuxian Town has become stronger. It's just that I don't do anything about choosing a "ghost bride" anymore.

Of course, these are later words, and the current Jiang Rong naturally doesn't know.

When she returned to Li's side, Li took her into his arms and kept complaining: "You kid, why have you been gone for so long?" It was very chaotic just now, there was a fire in the bamboo building, what if something happened to you! โ€

Jiang Rong buried herself in Li's arms and didn't speak, she knew that A-Niang was deeply responsible for love, and she was not really a child, how could she not understand the worry and anxiety in A-Niang's words?

"Why don't you speak? Is it hurting somewhere? As he spoke, Li touched Jiang Rong from head to toe, and found that there was nothing wrong with her, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her looking at herself with a smile again, Li nodded her forehead helplessly, "You! โ€

"Okay, Auntie, it's so late, I'm so sleepy, let's go back to sleep." Jiang Rong hugged her arm and said coquettishly.

In fact, she wanted to go back quickly to confirm if she really had another merit point out of thin air, and just after she did that thing just now, she sensed in her mind that her merit value had increased by 350 points!

Was it because she had debunked the tricks of the liars and rescued the ghost bride? But it's not worth so much merit, is it?

She thought about it deeply, and suddenly reacted, her move was not only as simple as saving a person, but the key was to debunk the tricks of the liars, so that the people here in Liuxian Town would no longer be deceived, and those beautiful girls would avoid the fate of being trafficked.

That's why she got so many merit points at once!

After figuring this out, Jiang Rong felt at ease, and at the same time was overjoyed, because the more merit she had meant that she could redeem more treasures!

In the early morning of the next day, the group replenished dry food, water and other things, and then got into the carriage and set off.

On the way, Jiang Rong told what he did last night, which naturally attracted some bitter teachings from the Li family. (To be continued.) )
