Sign in: The female supporting character in the book disrupted the heroine's glory

Chapter 325: Inciting the villagers to burn you to death

It was too chaotic at the moment, and everyone was confused. The Jiang family's affairs were getting more and more confusing, and every incident would be a big deal if it happened in other families.

But when it comes to the Jiang family, the villagers actually feel that no matter how big or bizarre it is, there is no need to be surprised.

Patriarch Jiang finally understood the whole story at this moment. When he heard Jiang Youzhen say that leaving a scar would end his career, he was also shocked.

He was so angry that he slammed his cane on the ground, "How dare you, you bastard, to murder someone? Young man, you don't have to be lenient in this matter. Even if it's a member of your clan, as long as it involves his life, you must not tolerate it."

"That's right! One bad apple spoils the whole bunch. We in the Jiang family are all kindhearted people, but there is a family like this that is so shameless."

"Xiao Lang, although Jiang Haiqing and the others are all members of the Jiang family, we cannot tolerate them. We must report to the police this time and teach them a lesson."

"Yes! Report to the police."

More and more Jiang clan members gathered around, and the crowd was furious. What was Jiang Youzhen like now? He was the hope of the clan.

What is Jiang Haiqing? He is just a rat shit. How can he compare with Jiang Youzhen? When Jiang Youzhen passes the imperial examination next year and the imperial examination the year after, he will become an official.

With someone like Jiang Haiqing, who has failed to pass the examination to become a scholar for more than ten years, can they still count on Jiang Haiqing?

Jiang He looked at his clansmen with his turbid old eyes, and the resentment in his heart reached its peak. Wasn't it just that Jiang Youzhen passed the exam and his family didn't? They were all villains who curry favor with the powerful.

"What are you doing? Don't touch the things you gave me." Wu Houzi became flustered when he saw Qingyan take out a porcelain bottle from his arms.

"Master! This is the only thing we found."

Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it. It was a green porcelain bottle with nothing written on it. She didn't uncork it, but she guessed what was inside.

"Jiang Youzhen, you have no right to search my body. Even if you want to send me to the authorities, only the police can do so."

Wu Houzi was very excited and anxious. If Jiang Youzhen saw through his tricks, wouldn't those wealthy families who had been deceived by him eat him alive?

"What? Are you feeling guilty?" Jiang Youzhen sneered.

"Now please open your eyes and take a good look at what this Wu Houzi is up to. He has been swindling people for so many years, relying on these tricks."

Jiang Youzhen asked Qingyan to take off Wuhouzi's outer robe, and Wuhouzi suddenly panicked.

"What do you want to do? Don't do anything rash!" Wu Houzi stared at the porcelain bottle in Jiang Youzhen's hand. Was Jiang Youzhen going to pour the contents of the porcelain bottle on himself?

"If we don't test it on the spot, how can we let everyone know how the will-o'-the-wisp fire burned just now?" Jiang Youzhen said coldly, looking at the other party's frightened expression.

"Yeah! How did the fire start just now? Could it be that Jiang Haiqing is really a wandering ghost?"

"That's definitely not the case. I think there's something else going on here."

"But it was clearly the master who performed the magic just now! I saw him using the peach wood sword."

Everyone started discussing again. Some felt that Jiang Youzhen was being disrespectful to the master, while others felt that the master seemed a little mysterious.

But no matter what, no one stepped forward to stop her. Because Jiang Youzhen had many Jiang clan members standing behind her, and she also had many servants and strong laborers in her family, so who would dare to act rashly?

If anyone dares to step forward to stop them, judging from the attitude of Patriarch Jiang and the Jiang clan members, they will fight them to the death.

"Don't, don't come over here!" Seeing Jiang Youzhen was about to pull out the cork of the bottle, he was so scared that he stuttered.

"Master Wu Houzi, why are you panicking? Is there something dangerous in here?"

Jiang Youzhen glanced and saw the peach wood sword that had fallen to the ground next to her. She stepped forward and picked it up, then approached Wu Houzi again.

"Everyone, please watch carefully. I will perform a ritual for the master later to exorcise the evil spirits from his body."

Seeing that Jiang Youzhen was still unharmed after picking up the peach wood sword, everyone's hearts finally settled down. If he was really a lonely ghost, would he not be afraid of the peach wood sword?

Jiang Youzhen pulled out the cork, and Wu Houzi was so scared that he quickly said, "Wait! Wait! I confess, I confess!"

Jiang Youzhen immediately put the cork back in the bottle. "Oh? What are you confessing? Explain clearly!"

"I, I just wanted to swindle some money. I'm not a nobody. I was pulled here by Jiang Haiqing to impersonate him. He said he would give me 20 taels of silver after the job was done. I was originally a fortune teller. I was obsessed with money and listened to him to frame you."

Wu Houzi was almost crying. He didn't know this kid would be so difficult to deal with before he came!

"He also said that if he could make you a cripple, that would be great. If you really died, he would give you more silver. Anyway, if he said you were a wandering ghost, he could incite the villagers to burn you alive and no one would say anything."

Everyone gasped and condemned Jiang Haiqing's treachery and viciousness.

"I really didn't expect it! I used to think he was just after the rich and powerful's money, but I didn't expect he really wanted to cut off the roots of the rich and powerful!"

"Is he just after the rich family's money? If he sold Xiaolang to the Li family before, wouldn't that mean he was buried alive? He has always been so heartless!"

"Yes! The most vicious thing is that he wants to put the blame on us and make us accomplices. He is so calculating and insidious!" Those who came to their senses understood Jiang Haiqing's true intention and became even more angry.

"What? Then we are not accomplices?"

Everyone was furious and had originally planned to stand by and watch, but when they heard that they had become accomplices, they all blamed Jiang Haiqing.

Jiang Haiqing, who was about to leave, was so frightened when he saw that he was being pointed at by thousands of people that he wanted to flee.

"Stop! Jiang Haiqing, I didn't say you could leave." Jiang Youzhen immediately ordered someone to invite Doctor Liang and asked the Jiang family members to surround Jiang Haiqing and not let him leave.

Ignoring Jiang Haiqing's shouting, Jiang Youzhen turned to look at Wu Houzi after he finished dealing with this matter, "You said you are not Wu Houzi?"

Wu Houzi nodded his head and said, "I'm really not that. I'm just a fortune teller who sells things at a stall."

"Really? Then why are the three characters "Wu Hou Zi" engraved on this whisk?"

Jiang Youzhen didn't expect that this guy could be so flexible that he didn't even dare to admit his own identity.

"Qing Lang, search him to see if there is anything that can prove his identity."

"Yes!" Qing Lang began to touch Wu Houzi's body inch by inch, not leaving out any corner.

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Let me go!" Wu Houzi said while twisting his body.

"Huh? There's a sign." Qing Lang touched a wooden sign and handed it to Jiang Youzhen.

Jiang Youzhen took it and looked at it. Isn't this the identity card in the Taoist temple? This identity card is equivalent to a pass. Taoist priests, like monks, do not have to pay taxes. This is proof.

Jiang Youzhen raised the wooden sign in front of Wu Houzi and said, "Please look, everyone, the name written on this sign is Wu Houzi."

Wu Houzi's face looked grim, and then he saw Jiang Youzhen put the clothes aside, then pulled out the cork and sprinkled some powder on the clothes.
