Chapter 65: Begging for mercy will die, begging for death will live
Yu Qingfeng was grateful, but he didn't care about the dagger around his neck, his body slowly slid down weakly, and he sat on the ground.
"I was really possessed by the ghost of Ding Chuanzong! But Miss Ding clearly said......"
Xia Feitao seemed to be unable to see Yu Qingfeng being so naΓ―ve, so he squatted down and explained to Yu Qingfeng:
"Hmph, Ding Xiyao ostensibly admits defeat and wants to cooperate with Juejuezi's rituals, but I can see that she has her own plans. She is Ding Chuanzong's daughter, so she naturally hopes that Ding Chuanzong can take revenge. My men followed her and found her maneuvering with the tools used to do things. Moreover, she did not participate in this ritual, and she is probably acting in secret at this time, wanting to completely destroy this ritual. β
"How so? She, she doesn't worry about me ...... because of this" Yu Qingfeng's eyes were red, and she grabbed her chest and clothes in pain.
"How many days have you been friends with her? She is Ding Chuanzong's biological daughter, and she has a deep blood feud. β
"In other words, even if you don't come to kill me, the Dharma can't save me, and I still can't escape the fate of being possessed by Ding Chuanzong, avenging him, and then killing when his ghost leaves his body?"
"That's right, in a word, you will die sooner or later, it's better to die now, and you can still save my reputation and the reputation of the entire Xia family."
Yu Qingfeng struggled to stand up and wiped her tears fiercely, "Protect you?" Could it be that you are, the enemy of Ding Chuanzong? β
Xia Feitao actually looked ashamed, sighed, and said sadly:
"My father, Xia Weifeng, is the master of Ding Chuanzong twenty years ago. My father died of illness fifteen years ago, and my mother found a superior person, so Ding Chuanzong naturally couldn't go to him for revenge. The father's debt is repaid, and Ding Chuanzong now wants to take revenge, so he can only find me, and maybe it will also affect several of my young daughters. If I were him, I would cut off the enemy's children and grandchildren. β
Yu Qingfeng suddenly realized, "I see." β
"Not only that, but Daoist Jue Zi also revealed that after seven days, Ding Chuanzong's ghost will completely control your body, and as long as you are killed within these seven days and your body is burned, you and Ding Chuanzong's ghost will be wiped out."
"You're going to burn me?" Yu Qingfeng trembled with fright.
"That's right, I've ordered my men to set up firewood in the suburbs, and I've prepared enough lamp oil to burn it, just waiting for me to send your body over tonight. Tonight, it's the best chance for me, isn't it? β
Yu Qingfeng's eyes rolled a few times, interpreting the thought process with clumsy acting skills, and then suddenly realized again.
"I get it, I get it all! Xia Feitao, you wanted to destroy the severed ghost mound not only because you were afraid of Ding Chuanzong's revenge, but also because you wanted to destroy the evidence that your father Xia Weifeng stole the disaster relief official silver and planted the blame for Ding Chuanzong! The severed head ghost mound is the evidence of the crime! β
Xia Feitao didn't mention surprise, but gave Yu Qingfeng a thumbs up.
"Miss Yu, you are so smart, if you weren't a mortal enemy, I really couldn't bear to kill you. It's no wonder that those two adults will be tempted by you as a mere maidservant, you are really a rare talented woman, worthy of being the first female official of Dali Temple in the dynasty. β
Facing the villain's praise for himself, Yu Qingfeng couldn't cry or laugh.
"I'd love to hear how you could have thought that it was my father who stole the five thousand taels of disaster relief silver."
Yu Qingfeng rolled her eyes in disdain, "What?" Envy me for being so smart that you want to steal from me before I die? β
"Don't want to say? In such a hurry to die? Xia Feitao put the dagger on Yu Qingfeng's shoulder again.
Yu Qingfeng wanted to resist, but immediately felt dizzy, closed his eyes and tilted his head back.
"Don't say that you are weak now, even if you are not possessed, you are not my opponent as a weak woman."
Yu Qingfeng opened his eyes with a strong spirit, "I don't want to tell you where Xia Weifeng has a flaw." Kill or chop, whatever you want. β
The classic routine of film and television dramas: If you only ask for mercy, you will definitely die. If you only ask to die, you will not die.
The villain not only dies of talking, but also of curiosity.
Yu Qingfeng decided to take a gamble.
"Say, say, I can still give you a good time, if you don't say it, I will let you understand what it means to live and not to die!"
Xia Weifeng was anxious and grabbed Yu Qingfeng's collar.
Now that the other party has taken the bait, you might as well make another move to get away with it.
"Huh, you really want to know? I advise you, it's better not to know, it's not good for you. β
"Speak quickly!" Xia Feitao's hand moved from the collar to his neck and pinched it hard.
Yu Qingfeng was taken aback, should this Xia Feitao play the netherworld routine of choking her neck while desperately making her speak?
Yu Qingfeng nodded with difficulty and motioned for Xia Feitao to let go.
Xia Feitao realized that he was indeed a strong man just now, and relaxed his strength.
"I said, I said," Yu Qingfeng coughed twice, "Actually, there are two reasons why I suspect Xia Weifeng. First, Wu Xinyou, second, Zhou Lang. β
"What do you mean?"
"Let's talk about Wu Xinyou first. He was just a wandering Taoist back then, how much money could he have? Why did he establish Xiangyunguan shortly after Ding Chuanzong's death? Not to mention that he relies on prestige, no matter how prestigious he is, he has to be rich to establish his own sect. What's more, he is a charlatan, what prestige can he have? β
"How do you know he's a charlatan?"
"In my opinion, those who advocate ghosts and gods are liars."
Xia Feitao sneered disdainfully, "In your current situation, you still say such things?" β
Yu Qingfeng did not take a stubble, and continued his analysis:
"The locals of Pingchuan County may not know that this Wu Xinyou Taoist soon established his own sect and became the abbot of the Taoist temple. If it weren't for Ding Xiyao's appearance, I wouldn't know. But now that I know, I wonder if the money that Wu Xinyou started his own business is part of the money he got from the disaster relief official money? In other words, although Wu Xinyou and the master of Ding Chuanzong seem to belong to two camps on the surface, in fact, they are in the same group? β
"Self-employed?"
Yu Qingfeng pursed her lips and accidentally said nothing. That's it, skip over it, and move on.
Next is Zhou Lang. Zhou Lang's murder is a blame at first glance, and the murderer must be hidden in the tomb, that is, either there are other exits in the tomb, or there is a hidden space. β
"Are you so sure that Lou Anyi is not a murderer?" Xia Feitao disagreed.
Yu Qingfeng naturally can't say that she is so sure because of the film and television drama routine, since the case was chosen by the male protagonist, there must be another hidden story.
"That's right, the coffin weighs two or three hundred catties, Lou Anyi is a pampered fat man, how can he have the strength to lift it up and kill people? And there is a description of Zhou Lang's body in the dossier, everyone has been smashed, the flesh and blood are blurred, except for the head that has not been hit, the body is a mess, it is definitely not done by ordinary manpower. β
Xia Feitao snorted coldly and no longer refutated.
