Chapter 131 130. The end
"You're right."

When Captain Luo saw the tree with the hanging corpses, he had already determined that there was something wrong with the Tao family.

I wanted to deal with this one later.
But since Xu Qing and Mo Qingxue brought it up.

Then just do what they want and let them vent the anger that’s been pent up in their chests.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is actually holding a fire in his stomach.

Captain Luo used some means of communication to summon several constables and rushed to the Tao family with a group of people.

When they arrived at Tao's house,

Captain Luo kicked open the door of the Tao family without saying a word.

The noise of breaking the door did not alarm the silent Tao family.

Because of the matter of the old master Tao, every night, no matter what happened, the Tao family would hide in their beds and dare not show their heads.

"Go into the inner house and bring everyone to the front yard." Captain Luo ordered, "Leave the women to you, Xiaoxue."

"Master Xu Qing, Old Man Fang, let's go and get Tao Yiqing out together."

Old Man Fang looked at Captain Luo unhappily.
I knew that he was worried about me and didn't want me to leave his sight.

Since Xu Qing had waited for the old master Tao at Tao's house for two days, he naturally knew where Tao Yiqing's yard was.

Led by Xu Qing, the three came to Tao Yiqing's house, kicked the door open without saying a word, and dragged Tao Yiqing out of the bed.

"What do you want to do?"

Tao Yiqing was extremely frightened.

Especially when he saw the aggressive Captain Luo and the Taoist priest from Yuanfu Temple, he instantly felt a huge fear in his heart.

He is very clear,

The appearance of these two people here at this time means that the matter has been exposed.

"You can't do this!" Tao Yiqing struggled violently while being dragged, shouting, "I am the head of the Tao family. My Tao family is one of the noble families. How dare you do this without any evidence?"

"Aren't you afraid of arousing the wrath of the noble families?"

He knew that the truth had been revealed, but knowing it did not stop Tao Yiqing from bluffing and using the title of "aristocratic family" as a deterrent.

Compared to a group of scattered sand, each sect only cares about its own sectarian power,
The Dashengshijia is a loose interest group.

This group, with the "family" as its component, is entrenched in the flourishing tree of Dasheng.

Without affecting the interests of each party,

They are connected with each other and cover up for each other.

That is why there are many rules that are not stated on the surface but are actually followed by the government.

such as,

Even if the matter involves someone from an aristocratic family, unless there is irrefutable evidence, they cannot be arrested and interrogated at will.

"No evidence?" Xu Qing sneered, "It seems that you also know that what you did is not tolerated by the law."

Tao Yiqing's face suddenly froze.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tao Yiqing's face turned pale. "What did I do?"

"Our Tao family is being disturbed by ghosts. Not only do you not think about how to get rid of the ghosts, but you even want to do such a cruel thing to our Tao family?"

"Luo Yangao, your salary is the blood and sweat of the people! Are you worthy of the salary given to you by the court? Are you worthy of the money and grain paid by the people?"

"Noisy!"

Captain Luo's eyes suddenly turned fierce and he swung the scabbard in his hand, which hit Tao Yiqing's face with a "whoosh".

Several teeth flew out along with blood.
The cheek that was hit by the scabbard instantly turned red and swollen.

"You are not worthy to say that."

Tao Yiqing was extremely angry.

But there was also a hint of fear and doubt in his eyes.

He doesn't understand,

He used his father's corpse to perform evil magic, and at most he would be charged with colluding with evil spirits.

This crime was committed by the common people.

It's a capital crime, of course.
But for these disciples from aristocratic families,
There is no death penalty, it's just that one has to pay a huge price to atone for the crime.

Normally, this should be the case.

But why did Luo Yangao's current behavior make him feel a little uneasy?
Xu Qing was pleased to see Tao Yiqing calm down.

It's a pity that he was not the one who struck the blow.

Xu Qing dragged Tao Yiqing to the front yard of the house and threw him on the ground. Tao Yiqing had never been treated like this before, and he glared at her angrily.

"Bastard!"

"How dare you do this to me?!"

Tao Yiqing's words sounded unclear because of his loose teeth.

But you can still hear the insult in the tone.

Xu Qing looked at Captain Luo.
After all, he is not a government official, so his behavior like Luo Yangao just now is inappropriate.

"It's time to vent your anger." Captain Luo gave a reply that frightened Tao Yiqing. "Let's not talk about the whole Tao family, the head of the Tao family is dead."

When it comes to the strange incident in the haunted house, even if the Tao family is a noble family, there is only one way to go, and that is death.

Next, let’s see.
Should we only punish the main culprit, or will the whole family be destroyed?

But no matter what, the Tao family’s decline was inevitable.

Luo Yangao didn't mind doing Xu Qing a favor at this time.

"I understand." Xu Qing nodded.

Finished speaking.

"What are you doing?! Don't!"

Under Tao Yiqing's horrified gaze, Xu Qing kicked out, hitting him right in the face with the sole of his foot.

With a "bang", Tao Yiqing's eyes bulged out and his body rolled out, not stopping until he hit the wall of the front yard.

Like a puddle of mud, it fell to the ground.
The person is already unconscious.

So cool!

Xu Qing felt relaxed and at ease.

I felt that I had encountered many dangers along the way in the haunted house, and the suffocating feeling that I might die if I relaxed for a moment, finally eased a little.

It seems that even the physical fatigue has been reduced a little.

When this scene fell into the eyes of the captured Tao family members, Xu Qing's image suddenly became ferocious and fierce, and he looked like a typical evil force.

The person who was originally caught and was still angry immediately became quiet and well-behaved.

Even Mo Qingxue, Zhao Yinxi and the detectives were a little surprised.

"Take everyone back." Captain Luo waved his hand and asked his men to take all the members of the Tao family back to the yamen.

On the way to the government office,
Xu Qing and others could see streaks of light passing across the sky, all heading towards the area where they had entered Tianguangxu before.

These people obviously went there to seal off the haunted house.

Xu Qing turned his head and looked towards the direction of Yuanfu Temple.

There were also a lot of streams of light flying from that direction.

It was dawn the next day.

Xu Qing and Zhao Yinxi walked out of the yamen.

They stayed in the government office last night and underwent various examinations, including a conscience check. They were allowed to leave only after it was confirmed that there was no problem.

After leaving the government office,

Xu Qing felt the gradually resurrecting atmosphere of the city, and once again turned his gaze to the area connecting the haunted house and Huai'an City.

The vision of last night has disappeared,
Peace returned to that place.

"Has the haunted house been sealed off again?" Xu Qing muttered.

Mo Qingxue, who came out to see Xu Qing and Zhao Yinxi off, heard Xu Qing's muttering and shook her head, "Not yet."

Xu Qing and Zhao Yinxi both cast inquiring glances.

"Someone from my family brought relevant news last night. The government, Yuanfu Temple, and all the major families in the city have sent people into the haunted house."

"In addition, the Southern Capital Court is also paying attention to this matter. The giant starlight wolf you saw last night was sent by the North Pole Exorcist Institute. It is the Kui Wood Wolf, one of the twenty-eight constellations."

"The situation in the haunted house is still at a stalemate."

"But we have the upper hand. It's only a matter of time before we seal the town again."

"Moreover, the connection between the ghost house and Huai'an City has been temporarily cut off, so there is no need to worry that the power of the ghost house will seep out and affect the people in the city."

　The average subscription is a bit low, and I’m afraid it won’t be able to support full attendance. I originally wanted to combine two into one to increase the average subscription, but the next few chapters will describe transition, practice, and breakthroughs.

　　There are readers who are not interested in this.

　　So I split the chapters again.
