Chapter 795
Chapter 795
Little Red went to the cell next door to scare Xue Xin. Like Qian Zhixiao, he was the only one in the entire cell who could see Little Red.
Tell me, isn't that scary?
Qian Zhixiao was carried outside. Wang Cong glanced at Pan Yun, and seeing him nod, he followed him out.
Calling a doctor would take a lot of time, so it's better to let him go instead.
Wang Cong rummaged in his sleeve and pulled out his nearly rusty needle case. Then he stepped forward and pried open Qian Zhixiao's eyelids to look into his mouth.
A short while later, he took out a needle and inserted it into the back of his elbow...
The crowd dispersed, leaving only Pan Yun and Xue Shao, who stared at Xue Xin, who looked terrified, in another cell.
Xue Xin wasn't stupid. He was startled awake by Qian Zhixiao's shout, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Xiaohong, who had become a ghost. Then he saw Pan Yun standing outside the prison. What else could he not understand?
He also resented Pan Yun, but now he felt more fear.
Unlike Qian Zhixiao, he was still young and confident that the case would eventually be dropped if it dragged on. He believed that if he could pull some strings to get rid of Wu Zhihong and replace him with a new magistrate, he could get away with it.
But then Pan Yun arrived...
He wasn't afraid of Wu Zhihong; he was an official and had to follow the rules.
But Pan Yun was different; from the moment she appeared until she disappeared, she never followed any rules.
He himself is a rule-breaker, so he knows that rule-breakers are capable of anything.
I fear not gentlemen, but petty men.
Xue Xin's heart sank lower and lower.
Just then, Pan Jun's voice rang in my ears: "Tell me, can Liu Xiaohong, who now has a physical body, take revenge and kill you herself?"
Xue Xin's eyes widened, and he shouted, "It wasn't me! It has nothing to do with me! It has nothing to do with me!"
Little Red floated in mid-air, looking down at him and said, "I don't believe it, you will all die!"
"Ahhh-"
Xue Xin's appearance terrified his fellow inmates, who all moved away from him, shouting, "Xue Xin, what are you yelling about?"
Xue Xin pointed to the air and said, "Qian Zhixiao was harmed by Liu Xiaohong, harmed by ghosts and monsters. Wu Zhihong colluded with the evil Taoist to harm me. Wu Zhihong wanted to harm me!"
Who would believe him?
Oh, apart from the other criminals who had seen ghosts with him and Pan Yun's accomplices, the other criminals all looked at him like he was crazy and whispered among themselves, "How can an official still believe in ghosts?"
"Who says there are no ghosts in the world?"
"There are no ghosts in this world. If there were, I would have been torn apart by them long ago..."
Xue Xin felt the pressure of Liu Xiaohong gripping his neck. He clutched his neck, his eyes wide, speechless. The feeling of death returned once more…
But he knew this time was different. Last time, Pan Yun needed to set up an array in advance for those ghosts to appear, and they mostly scared them; very few of them actually hurt anyone.
Liu Xiaohong was completely unprepared and immediately nearly killed Qian Zhixiao, who is now also on the verge of death.
Liu Xiaohong is different, she is different!
Her death was different, and her afterlife was different too!
Xue Shao whispered a reminder to Pan Yun: "Don't actually kill him."
Pan Jun: "Don't worry, Xiao Hong knows what she's doing and won't make things difficult for Magistrate Wu."
After saying that, he turned to leave.
Since he won't tell me, let Xiaohong play with him.
Xue Xin caught a glimpse of her leaving out of the corner of his eye. A resolute glint flashed in his eyes. He forcefully yanked away Xiao Hong's ghostly claws, scrambled to the door, and stared intently at Pan Yun, whispering, "Get her out of here, and I'll tell you."
Pan Yun raised an eyebrow, bent down and whispered in her ear: "Go on."
Xue Xin turned back in alarm to look at Xiao Hong who was floating over, then shrank back and whispered, "You can't tell Wu Zhihong, and you can't tell anyone else. Once you get the information, leave quickly, otherwise, if you take my life, you won't get anything."
Pan Yun nodded: "I promise you."
Xue Xin paused for a moment before saying in almost inaudible, "Jiang Fangzheng from Quanzhou Guard, Fujian."
Pan Yun raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence, he was the commander of the Quanzhou Garrison in Fujian.
Pan Jun lifted her eyelids and stared straight at him, her eyes filled with emotions that Xue Xin couldn't understand, yet also with a hint of understanding.
What does it mean?
Jiang Fangzheng has been investigated? He swallowed nervously.
Pan Yun stared at him for a moment before asking, "Anything else?"
Xue Xin's chest heaved as he glanced warily behind him and said in a low voice, "I don't know the rest."
Pan Yun, however, remained bent over and insisted, "There's one more."
Xue Xin's heart pounded, but he remained motionless.
Pan Yun whispered, "Xue Xin, if you don't tell us soon, it will attract attention. Who is the person sitting at the same table as Yang Ji and Jiang Fangzheng?"
Xiao Hong stood behind him at just the right moment, and the yin energy rushed towards him like an air conditioner vent.
Xue Xin's body stiffened, and his face grew even paler.
Pan Yun whispered in Xue Xin's ear, "Xue Xin, you want to live by using them, but what if Liu Xiaohong and I take your life right now?"
Xue Xin remained silent.
Pan Jun's lips curled slightly as he said softly, "I only kill those who deserve to die, without harming the natural order. But Liu Xiaohong is different. She is an evil spirit, a free and unattached evil spirit who was tortured to death. What will she do? Think of your family. In the face of life, your future is not worth mentioning."
Xue Xin felt a chill run through her body and couldn't help but look up at Liu Xiaohong.
Xiao Hong looked at him coldly.
Xue Xin then slumped his shoulders and said in a barely audible voice, "Sun Xin, Chief Secretary of the Prince of Lu's Mansion."
Pan Yun couldn't help but look up and exchange a glance with Xue Shao. Instantly, she understood, and many of the details suddenly connected.
Pan Yun's eyes shone like stars. She straightened up, turned around, and left.
Xiao Hong grinned at Xue Xin and hurriedly chased after Pan Yun.
Only when the red ghostly figure disappeared at the end did Xue Xin relax and lie still on the ground.
It really scared him to death.
Stepping out of the cell area leads to the area where the prison guards live and work.
Qian Zhixiao was placed on the prison guard's bed, and Wang Cong gave him acupuncture. He had already woken up by then.
Wu Zhihong stood to the side with his hands on his hips, watching the acupuncture, seemingly unaware from beginning to end that Pan Yun and the others were not there, and that Xiao Hong had disappeared and reappeared.
When Qian Zhixiao woke up, he sighed and said, "Qian Zhixiao was too excited to see Master Pan."
"What's with all the excitement?" Qian Zhixiao gritted his teeth at Pan Yun, wishing he could bite her to death.
But when his gaze fell on Liu Xiaohong behind her, he couldn't help but shrink back.
Pan Yun stepped forward, bent down to meet his eyes, her eyebrows curved into a smile, her mouth remained still, but her voice rang in his ear: "Qian Zhixiao, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Qian Zhixiao said excitedly, "No! You can't get anything from me."
Everyone looked over suddenly, their faces full of confusion.
Pan Yun: "Look, they can't hear me. If you're afraid of being known, I can ask you a question, and you can blink to answer me."
Qian Zhixiao gave her a cold laugh, his face stubborn and showing no sign of yielding.
Pan Yun sighed, straightened up, and said, "So it's Jiang Fangzheng, the commander of Quanzhou Garrison, and the Chief Secretary of the Prince of Lu."
Qian Zhixiao's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.
Pan Yun: "Thank you for your frankness, Mr. Qian."
"No! I didn't say that, I didn't say that!" Qian Zhixiao's heart pounded, and he looked at everyone in a panic, shouting, "You're framing me! I didn't say that, I didn't say that!"
Pan Jun smiled slightly, reached out and patted his shoulder, reassuring him, "Don't be afraid, Master Qian. This is Ji'an County. Magistrate Wu will protect you."
Qian Zhixiao felt a chill run through his body and stared at Pan Yun with a deathly pale face.
