Chapter 359: Possessed by the Evil Spirit
The result was obvious. When Xu Yingying arrived at the county government office, she did not even see the county magistrate.
"I'm sorry, my county magistrate is out handling other cases. If you are not in a hurry, you can come back tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, just wait by the side. I will let you know when he comes back."
The constable standing guard outside spoke expressionlessly.
It was obvious that they were being targeted, probably because the previous officials did not allow them to see the county magistrate.
Wang Jingrui was so angry that his nose became crooked.
"What kind of people are they? They should be thankful that this is not Gucheng, otherwise no one would dare to talk to me like this."
Xu Yingying's face looked equally ugly. She knew that the silver she lost today would most likely not be found, so she could only leave in dissatisfaction.
Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the officials. No matter how capable she is, it is impossible for her to become an enemy of the local officials.
Li Siqi was also very angry. Someone actually dared to bully the people right under his nose and really didn't take him seriously.
"court death."
Everyone returned to the inn, and then while no one was paying attention, Li Siqi went to the backyard alone.
"Crow, take my token to the county government office and tell those soldiers to return the stolen silver as soon as possible. As for the rest, you know what to do."
Xu Yingying couldn't sleep all night. Until the morning, she was still thinking about the money she had lost. After all, it was hard-earned money, and no one could let it go. She thought that the money was just wasted.
The next morning, when Xu Yingying was about to go out, she ran into the group of soldiers from yesterday.
"All the money has been given to you. What else do you plan to do?" Xu Yingying looked at the group of officers and soldiers with a headache, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Misunderstanding, everyone. Yesterday was just a misunderstanding. We have no intention of offending you. I hope you don't take it personally. It's your money, not a penny less."
Xu Yingying was a little surprised to learn that the other party was not there to cause trouble but to return the money.
After confirming that there was no problem with the money and the other party's attitude was relatively sincere, Xu Yingying finally stopped doubting and forgave the other party with a wave of her hand.
"Don't oppress the poor people anymore. This kind of thing will damage your morals and affect your next life."
"Yes, yes, your Excellency is right."
The officers and soldiers respected Xu Yingying very much and just nodded in agreement no matter what she said.
Xu Yingying originally thought that the letter of complaint she left at the county government office yesterday had taken effect, but now it seems that her idea is clearly different.
"Is there anyone helping us secretly? There's no reason. We are new here and don't know anyone in this place."
Xu Yingying initially suspected that it was Wang Jingrui's family connections who were secretly helping her, but when she told Wang Jingrui about this suspicion, Wang Jingrui shook his head and said that his family would never have any property here.
"Who is that?"
Xu Yingying didn't think she was being suspicious. From the attitude of those officers towards her, she could tell that someone was definitely putting pressure on them in secret, otherwise this matter would not have gone so smoothly.
With a thought, she kept an eye out and quietly let the weeds out.
Let Ye Cao monitor behind the officers and soldiers so that they can find out the truth. After they go back, they will definitely report the situation to their superiors, but they don’t know that all this has already been discovered by Li Siqi.
Needless to say, the result was nothing.
Xu Yingying could only put aside her doubts for the time being and keep the matter deep in her heart.
On the other hand, Wang Jingrui has been constantly practicing the mysterious arts taught to him by Xu Yingying. What Xu Yingying said is absolutely right, he is indeed very talented in this area.
"Heaviness is the root of lightness, and calmness is the master of restlessness. Lightness will lose its root, and restlessness will lose its master..."
As a mysterious formula came out of his mouth, a breeze blew and Wang Jingrui's hair fluttered in the wind.
He was still immersed in it and did not notice the changes around him. If you observe carefully, you will find that Wang Jingrui has entered a mysterious state at this moment.
Generally speaking, this state is called enlightenment, but without anyone to protect you, it is more or less dangerous.
Not long after, a dark shadow appeared beside Wang Jingrui.
From a distance, one can still make out a human figure. The black shadow of the human figure is looming, as if it is trying to enter Wang Jingrui's body, but has been trying for a long time without success.
Just when Wang Jingrui was about to finish work and take a break, the black shadow finally found an opportunity and entered his body through the top of his head.
"I thought he was a Taoist master, but it turns out he is just a greenhorn. This is a blessing from heaven to me."
"We must be more careful this time and must not be discovered."
The black shadow is an evil ghost. There are many evil ghosts wandering between heaven and earth. They are unwilling to reincarnate and just want to take the opportunity to possess others and live a new life. The evil ghost that entered Wang Jingrui's body is such a ghost.
"This kid doesn't have many evil thoughts in his body, but as long as he is human, he can't get rid of desires. Let me see who makes this kid think about something during the day and think about something at night."
The evil ghost easily aroused the darkness in Wang Jingrui's heart.
The evil ghost possessed Wang Jingrui and hid himself. The evil ghost was very good at disguise, so Xu Yingying and Li Siqi didn't notice it at all.
As night fell, Wang Jingrui, who had fallen asleep in bed, suddenly opened his eyes.
He suddenly jumped off the bed and landed on the ground.
Then he went straight to Xu Yingying's room, pushed the door open quietly and rushed in. Although the sound of opening the door was very light, Li Siqi who was in the yard next door still noticed it.
He didn't have time to put on his clothes before he was attacked by the common people.
"Wang Jingrui, how dare you? Get out of here right away and don't make a mistake."
Li Siqi never thought that Wang Jingrui would actually have bad intentions towards Xu Yingying. Although he disliked this man before, from his observations along the way, he felt that his character should not be that kind.
"Oh, I've been discovered. If you want to stop me, I'll have to see if you have the ability to do so."
"How shameless! Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"
The next second, the two sides were already fighting each other. After all, Wang Jingrui's strength was not as good as Li Siqi's. The two were not on the same level. He was successfully subdued by Li Siqi in less than ten moves.
"Let me go, why did you hit me?"
Wang Jingrui seemed to have returned to normal at this moment, and kept struggling in Li Siqi's hands.
Li Siqi realized that something was wrong. Under the moonlight, he keenly noticed a dark shadow flashing in Wang Jingrui's eyes. This was clearly a sign of being possessed by an evil spirit.
Not only did he not let him go, but his hands moved even more vigorously, directly imprisoning Wang Jingrui firmly beside him, unable to move.
"Be honest with me. I'm saving you, not harming you. Do you understand?"
The noise outside soon caught Xu Yingying's attention. After she put on her clothes and went to the yard, she saw the two people behaving intimately.
