"Since that's the case, obediently answer a few questions from This King!"

"Yes!" "Yes …" Wu Xiao repeatedly agreed as he hugged his body with all six of his senses, hoping that Yun Che could finish his questions quickly and bring him away from this place.

"The question This King needs to ask is simple. Is there a case of Yamen making a deal out of it or is it a deliberate miscarriage of justice?" Yu Chi Ming's thin lips slightly opened as she stared at his face that was filled with fear.

Wu Xiao's face froze for a moment, then he slowly drooped his eyelids: No, no!

"I really don't cry until I see the coffin!" Xiao Mo Xin was obviously angry now, as he stepped forward and stared down at him: "Do you know what was that thing that wanted to kill you just now?"

Wu Xiao's body trembled violently. "I, I don't know. I only feel that something is wrapped around me, tightly wrapped around me, causing me to be unable to breathe, and even more so, unable to struggle free …"

That's a ghost, an evil ghost that has been turned into an evil spirit due to its obsession. Its obsession is to take its life from you yamen runners who have once hurt it! Xiao Mo Xin tilted her body slightly, and her gloomy voice lightly brushed past his ears.

Wu Xiao lifted his eyelids and shook his head with all his might, "Im, impossible … How could there be a ghost in the world? "Impossible, absolutely impossible, impossible …"

"Then think carefully, what other thing in this world other than ghosts can you not see, and at the same time not touch, easily take your life?" The corner of Xiao Mo Xin's mouth curled up slightly, appearing somewhat sinister in the dark of the night.

Wu Xiao's body trembled violently once again. His eyes scanned his surroundings cautiously but he could not see anything. He could only hug his body tightly out of instinct, as though he could feel a tiny bit of safety amidst his fear.

"Still not willing to tell, is it?" Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the coldness in Xiao Mo Xin's eyes gradually deepened.

Wu Xiao sat paralyzed on the ground, he secretly swallowed his saliva: "This … this subordinate doesn't know, I really don't know anything …"

"Forget it!" "Since you insist on death, we can't say much about it. You should just stay here. That evil ghost might come again soon!" After saying that, Xiao Mo Xin turned and looked at Yu Chi Ming: "Prince! It's not early yet, so let's not waste any time and go back to rest! "

"En!" Yu Chi Ming indifferently acknowledged as he followed her.

Seeing that, Wu Xiao panicked: Three Prince! Save me… "Save me …"

"It's useless calling you Prince!" Xiao Mo Xin looked back, and said coldly: "Since you think that the so-called truth is more important than your life, then just go and die!"

Wu Xiao was stunned, as though he did not believe that these kind of words would come out of the mouth of the 'imperial government officer'.

"Oh!" That's right! I seem to have forgotten to tell you that the evil ghost has sent a written challenge to me, giving me one day to uncover the truth of his grievances. If within one day there is no clue, it will kill a person, and so on, until it kills the last person! " Xiao Mo Xin gave a light laugh, "Now, in the entire Yamen, there are only thirteen yamen runners left. If we kill one each day, it will only take thirteen days for all of you to become a corpse. But I wonder, when the time comes, will your surviving wives and children feel heartbroken for all of your lives? or sad for a while? "

Wu Xiao's expression changed again and again, her lips quivered as he pursed her lips, but in the end, he still did not say anything.

Seeing his reaction, Xiao Mo Xin was even more certain that there was something that caused him to be even more afraid than death. Otherwise, at this point in time, he definitely would not choose to remain silent.

"Let's go!" Yu Chi Ming's thin lips slightly parted.

Xiao Mo Xin nodded. Before leaving, he looked at Wu Xiao: "If you don't want to die, then follow us out of here!"

Hearing that, Wu Xiao felt as if he had been saved. He thanked them and crawled back up, following them out of the room.

Entering the courtyard, Xiao Mo Xin seemed to have suddenly noticed something, her gaze swept across the surroundings, her eyebrows slowly knitted, some information quickly flashed past her mind, but very quickly, she missed the point.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mo Xin shook his head lightly and retracted his gaze: "Let's go!"

"En!"

— —

The next day.

The matter of Wu Xiao almost getting killed, had caused quite a sensation among the yamen runners.

Especially when they found out that the person who took his life was not a human, but a ghost, their faces turned even paler from fright.

As a result, as soon as night fell, the thirteen constables had already gathered at the inn where Xiao Mo Xin was staying.

"Miss! They have already sat downstairs for more than two hours. Are you sure you don't want to go down and take a look? " After looking for the nth time, Rui Er returned to the side room to ask.

"No!" Xiao Mo Xin's attitude was firm, as he continued to play with the teacup in his hand.

A hint of worry flashed across Rui Er's face: If you did not care, would they really be killed by the evil spirits?

"They are not good people. It doesn't matter if a few of them die!" Xiao Mo Xin put down the teacup in his hand, turned and looked at Rui Er: "Don't worry about something you shouldn't worry about, it's not early, go wash up and sleep!"

"Miss …"

Seeing her pleading expression, Xiao Mo Xin silently sighed: "I gave them a chance. As long as they are willing to tell the truth, I can guarantee their lives.

"Maybe, maybe, they have something to hide!" Rui Er guessed.

"Even if there are some unspeakable things, only by saying them can I solve them. How am I supposed to deal with them if they remain silent?" Xiao Mo Xin shook his head, feeling that they were not some ordinary stubborn bunch.

Rui Er knew that what she said was reasonable, but she also knew that her own Miss wasn't a heartless person in the end, "Miss! Saving a life is better than building a seven-levelled pagoda. No matter what happens to them, you should still save them! "

"How could I not have known that you were so Bodhisattva?" Xiao Mo Xin looked at her and joked.

Rui Er stomped her feet in displeasure: "Miss! At this time, you're still in the mood to joke! "

"I'm not joking!" Xiao Mo Xin pretended to be serious.

"Miss …"

Seeing that her pretty face was contorted into a ball, Xiao Mo Xin did not tease her anymore: "Don't worry! They won't die! "

Rui Er was stunned for a moment. Then, a glint flashed past her eyes: "Miss means that you will save me?"

"I have already set up a formation around the inn. As long as they do not leave the inn tonight, they will be safe and sound. But …" Xiao Mo Xin spoke with his own thoughts on his face, "… As long as the truth is not discovered, the danger lurking around them will not be removed! "

"Can't the Miss send the evil spirits away?"
