Chapter 210 Xiu Ying’s Corpse; Ghost Mite Mother
“Venerable Suyin, can this be completed like this?”
The speaker has a Chinese character face, a goatee, and white teeth. He wears Taoist robes and has a calm and authoritative temperament. At first glance, he is someone who has been in a high position for a long time.
He looked away from the sarcophagus in front of him, and turned to the old man beside him with a slightly respectful question.
The old man is thin and skinny, as if he is old and has only wrinkled skin left. He was wearing a blue and white Taoist robe with seven falling stars printed on it, which gave him an air of immortality.
In the coffin in front of him, there lay a female corpse that was even more shriveled than his. If You Su were here, you could even see her empty eyes filled with bloody worms.
“If nothing else, it’s absolutely foolproof. Even if you let those from the Xuanxiao Sect take a look, there won’t be any clues.” Venerable Suyin also withdrew his gaze and turned to glance at the middle-aged man with a Chinese-character face. The man said, "Chengdu Xiang, I am doing this for you because I have an old relationship with your father. Don't forget what you promised me."
Chengdu Xiang's expression was condensed at first, then he smiled and said:< br>
"That's natural. This son may already be in Moye City. Xiang will never interfere with whatever Venerable Suyin wants to do."
Even if the Lord of City Xiang is one of the most powerful people in the city, The city lord of Huayu Realm must also maintain humility at all times when facing a Venerable Dongxu from Nanyang Continent.
"Okay!" Venerable Suyin smiled heartily, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, I will be able to keep your son safe."
"Thank you so much, Venerable Suyin..."
City Lord Xiang thanked you respectfully. He suddenly stood up, frowned, and said solemnly, "It seems that there are still flies eyeing this carrion... Venerable Suyin is busy first, I will go and get rid of them."
"Go and get busy."
Venerable Suyin put his hands behind his back and was already in a state of mind.
......
"Ye Liangchen has met City Lord Xiang."
You Su led the three women and saluted the majestic City Lord.
"Ye Liangchen? Who are you from Ye Qingchen?"
Sitting on the high platform, Lord Xiang was not too polite to this rich man who came from afar. Just because the other party was put into the city lord's mansion by the traitor, and it was obvious that the other party was not here just to say hello to him, the city lord.
"It's not important."
You Su was not intimidated by the opponent's momentum and remained calm. He knew very well that being cowardly at this time would make it easier for others to see that he was bluffing.
As expected, City Lord Xiang focused his gaze and continued to look at You Su and the others.
What You Su didn’t know was that he didn’t know Lord Xiang, but Lord Xiang had already investigated him.
And You Su's concealment of his identity played into the hands of Lord Xiang. Venerable Suyin asked him to help lead the young man to Moye City. It was obvious that he wanted to do something to You Su.
If something happens to Yousu, he can stay out of it on the grounds of unknown identity.
"Young Master Ye is not enjoying himself in Henggao City. Why did you come to my little Moye City?"
"I took my maid out for a trip and passed by this place. I heard something unfair, so I just want to be a knight who takes action for justice."
"So, Mr. Ye came to my city lord's house to settle this injustice?"
City lord Xiang leaned back and looked at me. Staying on Qiao Xiuyun, who was surrounded by three people, the little girl grabbed the corner of Ji Lingruo's clothes in fear.
"Exactly."
Neither humble nor overbearing, You Su put his hand on the girl's shoulder, giving her more courage to stand up.
“This is Qiao Xiuyun, the biological sister of Qiao Xiuying, the former oiran of Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Moye City. Qiao Xiuying began to disappear for no reason some time ago. She came here from Black Rock City thousands of miles away, just to find herself. My sister. But I didn’t expect that her sister had already turned into a corpse. What’s even more pitiful is that the body was also stolen. I came here just to find her sister’s body.”
< br>City Lord Xiang smiled instead of being angry when he heard this, "But how did I hear that Qiao Xiuying was ransomed and went back to live a stable life? How can this be called an unexplained disappearance?"
"City Lord has something. I don’t know, those are all false rumors released by Xiaoxiang Pavilion in order to maintain normal business. In fact, she has died and been missing for nine days.”
“So, I will increase my troops and let them thoroughly investigate the entire building. From Moye City. Once there is news, I will send someone to inform Young Master Ye. Then you can come and collect her body."
The depth of You Su's investigation surprised City Lord Xiang, and he waved his hand. To see off guests.
"Junior dares to ask City Lord Xiang, your thorough investigation of Moye City includes the City Lord's Mansion?"
You Su looks calm, but in fact he has already grasped the jade beads given to him by the elder in his hand. .
When you encounter a situation that cannot be solved, you only need to crush one to save the day.
Even though the person in front of him was a monk in the Feather Realm, he had no doubts about the power of the elder.
City Lord Xiang was indeed a little angry at You Su’s offensive words, and asked in a deep voice:
“Young Master Ye, do you think that the body of this brothel woman is hidden in my City Lord’s Mansion? "
"Your son has a secret relationship with Qiao Xiuying, but due to your obstruction, he has never been able to achieve success. In addition, Qiao Xiuying has no special relationship with anyone in Moye City. Therefore, no one will covet her body. I really can’t think of anywhere else except hiding it in the City Lord’s Mansion.”
You Su’s words almost revealed the scars of City Lord Xiang.
Unexpectedly, Lord Xiang did not become angry, but acquiesced to the matter:
"It seems that Mr. Ye has really given up on this injustice." "Yes." You don’t want others to know, unless you do nothing. No matter how well you hide the evidence, someone will eventually know it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, City Lord Xiang burst out laughing. I heard something extremely interesting.
"Stupid... Once upon a time, I was as stupid as you, thinking that what I believed in was justice."
City Lord Xiang smiled and shook his head, "Young Master Ye, there is no need to pretend. You must be a person sent by the Evil Exorcism Department to secretly investigate evil spirits."
You Su frowned and did not deny it.
"I can confess to you that Qiao Xiuying's body is indeed in my hands. But I am not trying to cover up your so-called scandal. Who my son likes will not affect the reputation of my Xiang family at all. I hide it The purpose of picking up her body was actually to protect her, so do you still want to make her body public? Or turn a blind eye and treat the disappearance of her body as a secret? "
City Lord Xiang stopped his smile and looked. Xiang Yousu's eyes flashed with scrutiny.
Protect her?
You Su thought nervously about the meaning of Xiang Chengzhu’s words. Why did he need to protect a dead man?
City Lord Xiang’s magnanimity made him hesitate, and he was a little afraid to answer the question.
It was Qiao Xiuyun who gently pulled the tail of his sleeves that made him make up his mind.
If you don’t see the body, you won’t see the truth.
It was not him who was bluffing, but the Lord Xiang.
"Chengdu Xiang is wrong. No matter what, the absence of the body cannot be a protection for her."
Qiao Xiuyun also nodded firmly when she heard this. As a relative of the deceased, her only thought was I was able to see my sister's body and take her home.
City Lord Xiang took a deep look at You Su and sighed:
“I hope you can be as grand and majestic as you are now.”
After that, He stood up and fluttered his sleeves:
"Come with me and see the truth you want to see."
Ji Lingruo and Zi Yiyi looked at each other and pulled Qiao Qiao. Xiuyun kept up with Yousu's pace.
......
In the dimly lit secret room, several people gathered around a sarcophagus.
“If you open this coffin, you can’t close it.”
City Lord Xiang stood behind everyone and gave a final reminder.
You Su put his hand on the coffin lid and without hesitation, used all his strength to lift the ridiculously heavy coffin lid.
The first thing that hits your nose is a strong smell of decay.
As the candlelight gradually became brighter, everyone could clearly see the appearance of the person in the coffin.
Ji Lingruo and Zi Yiyi were both stunned, and Qiao Xiuyun even screamed in surprise.
This little girl who longed to see her sister, before she cried out because of her reunion with her sister, she was frightened by the worms spilling out of the eyes of the female corpse, and her face turned pale.
You Su looked at these bloody worms with a solemn expression, because without exception, these were all ghost mites.
“Have you seen the truth?”
City Lord Xiang seemed to be lamenting, “You think you are helping this little girl, but in fact you are harming her. The only people who knew this secret before were I have one, but now there are five. You, the Evil Control Department, always hate evil, take it, this is the source of the ghost mites' troubles."
"Sister...sister is not a bad person!" br>
Qiao Xiuyun resisted the urge to feel nauseated and retorted fiercely.
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. You think I was trying to hide the so-called scandal, but in fact, I was trying to protect my son's sweetheart's reputation. Facts speak louder than words, Not only her brain, but even her body is full of ghost mites. There is no such thing as the mother of ghost mites. Otherwise, why do you think she can enter the immortal world in just a few months? Reaching the Condensing Water Realm?"
Chengcheng Xiang shook his head helplessly and asked himself, "That's because she voluntarily gave her body to Xie Hui, thinking that she would be a good match for my son, but she was too stupid... She was so stupid that I felt pity for her, so I hid the truth for her..."
Everyone was stunned to hear this unimagined fact.
Qiao Xiuyun almost collapsed, she couldn't believe that all this was her sister's fault. Obviously when she was very young, her sister was the one who always told her not to go near the coast. Because outside the divine stone on that coast, there is countless filth.
"She is indeed not a bad person, she just loves my son too much... This is also my responsibility. I shouldn't stop them like that... How important is it whether she is a brothel girl or not?"< br>
City Lord Xiang lamented and repented, and anyone could hear the deep regret in his tone:
"Take it, the corpse you are looking for, the truth and the truth that the Evil Control Department wants, The mother body of the ghost mite is here. It was my fault for hiding her body. I am willing to be punished. I just ask you to let her family go. She is not a bad person."
Qiao Xiuyun had tears in her eyes. , looking at this sad middle-aged man with complicated eyes, I didn’t know whether to thank him or resent him.
The more important reason why her sister told her not to come into contact with evil spirits is because those who collude with evil spirits will have their family members implicated once discovered by the Evil Elimination Department.
This is an irreversible sin, and now it is You Su's turn to face a difficult decision.
Once you choose to take the body away for delivery, the whole family including Qiao Xiuyun will die.
And if he chooses to cover up the truth, he will fail the assessment.
