The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 61: Change your mindset and many things will become simpler
After listening to Liu Hongshi's words, Li Jingxiao understood that evil people like Ma Dao Po, who were not powerful enough, had to get the birth date of the victim before harming him.

You also need to ask someone close to you to place a talisman with a small ghost pictured on it next to the victim, preferably under the pillow.

Or it could be sewn into the pillow so that Ma Dao Po could cast spells from a distance.

This is also the reason why Li Jingxiao dared to say that there was a traitor.

But he didn't mention Ma Dao Po because there was no evidence directly pointing to Ma Dao Po.

Although being a prophet does have its advantages.

But Li Jingxiao only knew some things in the original work, in case someone came to him for divination one day.

If you refuse, you will offend people.

If you agree, you'll be exposed.

And to be honest, Li Jingxiao had thought about letting Ma Dao Po harm people everywhere while he went to save them to gain experience.

Moreover, Ma Dao Po was extremely greedy for money, and the targets of her spells were basically the powerful and wealthy.

Even the Concubine Nan'an spent money to ward off disasters. She asked Ma Dao Po for 48 kilograms of fragrant oil and lit a perpetual lamp.

It can be seen that there are actually quite a few cases of witchcraft in the capital.

If you go to the homes of powerful people to save them, you can even gain favors from them.

Secondly, without the evil witches and sorcerers who harm people, Li Jingxiao himself, an upright Taoist priest and monk, would actually be useless.

To put it bluntly, to those in higher positions, it doesn’t matter whether you are devoted to cultivation or a villain who comes out to harm others.

Anyone who possesses extraordinary powers is a destabilizing factor.

If possible, we should wipe them out together.

But since Liu Hongshi said that this matter was easy to investigate, I followed his words and praised Liu Hongshi.

He also handed the matter over to him, Lin Yi and Shi Delong for investigation.

Liu Hongshi’s idea is very simple: anyone who would harm Li Huaili will definitely be the beneficiary.

Either it was the concubine in Jiangzhou’s hometown, or it was Qiu Kaiwu.

However, although these two are hateful, if they become known to everyone, it would be a family disgrace.

In this era, not only would the Earl of Xing'an lose face in the circle of nobles, but Li Jingxiao would also surely be laughed at in the future.

So if any problems are found, they should be resolved privately.

Whether it was a sudden death or drowning, it was much better than having the news spread out.

This time, Li Jingxiao praised Liu Hongshi sincerely.

Liu Hongshi and the other two received orders and questioned everyone in the Earl's Mansion, and indeed found out the problem.

They caught several managers and the son of Jiangzhou's concubine, beat them with sticks, and soon got the truth out of them.

Two months ago, someone from the Li family in Jiangzhou wrote a letter back to Jiangzhou and asked a witch who was quite famous in Jiangzhou to come to the capital to cast a curse on his second uncle.

What is used is the art of subterfuge.

A few months ago, I heard that there was a young Taoist priest with amazing medical skills in the Zhenwu Temple in the west of the city.

No matter what disease it is, it can be cured. As soon as Li Huaili heard it, he knew that it was the child he had placed in Zhenwu Temple.

But his illness became more and more serious, and he no longer cared about the grudges of the past. He just wanted to stay alive first and then think about other things.

But for the concubines in Jiangzhou, this was like the sky falling.

Soon they colluded with the housekeeper, and then a few ruffians targeted Li Jingxiao.

After that, the Jia family stepped in, and the concubine in Jiangzhou no longer dared to target Li Jingxiao.

But the appearance of Li Jingxiao also forced some people to take risks.

After Liu Hongshi and the other two reported to Li Jingxiao.

The first thing Li Jingxiao asked was, "Do my aunt and uncle know that a scoundrel forced me to hand over the prescription?"

Liu Hongshi and the other two couldn't help but look a little nervous. Finally, Shi Delong, who was more straightforward, bowed and said, "Sir, you have been practicing medicine at Zhenwu Temple for so long, and you never ask about the patient's identity or family background.

The consultation fee is also one hundred coins.

I didn't know my own background before.

If I were the old man, I could use silver to buy your pills, so why would I rob you?
And even if you want to rob someone, you should cure your own illness first."

Li Jingxiao understood this logic after hearing it, but this could only eliminate his cousin's suspicion.

It’s hard to say about that aunt.

Shi Delong saw him nod and then frown, knowing that Li Jingxiao was still suspicious of his aunt.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed and said, "Sir, the most important thing at this moment is to deal with the murderer first.

We’ll talk about the rest later!
otherwise,,,."

Li Jingxiao was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and sighed.

Even if we really get evidence that my aunt was involved in the theft of the prescription, the best thing to do is not to take her to the authorities.

But in the future he wanted her to become a nun.

Even if you are sentenced to jail or exile, there is actually no difference between that and spending the rest of your life under house arrest in a nunnery, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

Even a little cruel.

When the uncle dies, they will express their deep love for each other by fasting or swallowing gold, and finally the couple will be buried together.

It is actually a good reputation for the Li family.

In addition, if he took action against the concubine's younger brother and reported to the police to arrest his aunt, Li Jingxiao would know the consequences just by thinking about it.

Even if you don't care about your reputation and just want to settle scores, there's no need to use such an extreme and self-defeating method to deal with the matter.

After nodding to Shi Delong and the other two, the three brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Li Jingxiao had decided not to touch his aunt for the time being, he couldn't help but focus his attention on the witch.

Unfortunately, after the witch cast the spell, she took the silver and returned to Jiangzhou.

Li Jingxiao cursed in his heart, and now he could only go to the sea to catch the official document.

It would be better if Shi Delong and the other two were willing to go.

Seeing Li Jingxiao looking at his three brothers, Liu Hongshi hurriedly said, "Sir, arresting people is not difficult. The three of us will write a letter back to Maoshan, and the commander of the mountain gate will go there.

It doesn't matter whether you capture the witch and send her back to the capital, or kill her on the spot.

The problem now is that we need to get rid of the Li family member who paid the witch as soon as possible, so as not to bring trouble to the reputation of the Lord and the Jiangzhou Li family."

Li Jingxiao was very satisfied that Liu Hongshi and the other two and Maoshan were willing to help.

And to put it bluntly, there are so many disciples in Maoshan, and after they finish their studies and come down the mountain, their job is to catch ghosts and exorcise demons.

If Li Jingxiao owed Maoshan a favor just for this little thing, maybe the headmaster would be willing to go down the mountain.

Li Jingxiao thought to himself that he would have to win over more people from Maoshan in the future.

Even people from the Zaoge faction can be won over if there is a chance.

If it weren’t for Uncle Ying’s movies, the future of Maoshan might have been like the Zaoge Sect, with most people never having heard of it.

The Zaoge faction is not having a good time now.

Giving someone a helping hand at this time is like sending charcoal in the snow. If I want to learn the Five Thunders Righteous Method, maybe someone will give it to me tomorrow.

But if you go to the Tianshi Mansion for help, it’s hard to say.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What do the other three branches of the Li family say?"

When a member of the clan caused such a disaster, the members of the other three branches were too busy to make excuses, so how could anyone be willing to help and speak in good terms?
