Chapter 324: Casting Fire
Jiang Youzhen stepped aside and found that there were several small holes burned on her sleeves. She also smelled a pungent odor. She immediately thought of one thing - phosphorus.
"Ah! There is a ghost fire, there really is a ghost fire, it's burning!" It was too dark and everyone couldn't see clearly, and they thought Jiang Youzhen was really burned.
"Huh? Why does the voice sound wrong? It sounds like Jiang Haiqing's voice?" Someone heard the screams and felt that something was wrong!
Jiang Youzhen quickly picked up a small stone on the ground and while Wu Houzi was distracted, he threw it at his knee.
Wu Houzi was about to go forward to check, but suddenly his knees went weak and he fell to the ground.
"How dare you, a demon, spread rumors to confuse the public and deceive these kind people. What did you just say? How dare you murder people? You have a vicious heart!"
It happened that Chief Jiang and his people had just arrived. He was jogging all the way and was exhausted and out of breath.
"Stop! Stop it! Stop it!" Patriarch Jiang hated those people in the old house.
How could Jiang Youzhen care about what Chief Jiang said? She rushed forward and captured Wu Houzi alive, and quickly ordered Qing Lang and Qing Yan to tie him up.
At this time, Jiang Tao and his wife heard the noise and immediately followed out. When Jiang Youzhen saw them, he shouted, "Grandpa and grandma, light a few more lanterns. I want to show all the villagers what this so-called master is like."
Everyone was stunned by this unexpected change. One of them retorted, "This Master Wu Houzi is an accomplished Taoist master. Many wealthy families have invited him to perform rituals. He is very accurate in interpreting divinations and fortune telling, and can even help people resolve disasters. How can he be considered a demon?"
"That's right! We don't usually see Master Wu Houzi! Young man from the Jiang family, if you are really not a wandering ghost, what's the big deal about splashing some blood?"
"Yeah! Doesn't this just prove that you are Jiang Youzhen?"
Jiang Youzhen looked coldly at several villagers who stood up. These people had just eaten big bowls of meat and drank big bowls of wine in her house. Were they enjoying the meal so much?
"Some people really eat when they pick up the bowl, and curse when they put it down! Sucking people's yang energy and life span? You actually believe such absurd words? Is this person a master, or is he just using the name to make money? You just watch."
Jiang Youzhen kept these people in mind. If the Jiang family gets any benefits in the future, these people must not get any.
Those people felt a little guilty after hearing what Jiang Youzhen said, but some of them stiffened their necks and said, "Aren't we worried about our own safety as well? Who knows if you are doing what Master Wu Houzi said, giving us some small favors to cheat us of our yang energy and life span?"
Jiang Youzhen sneered, and then said to everyone: "Then you just watch."
As she spoke, she stepped forward and kicked Wuhouzi, who was lying on the ground. Wuhouzi cursed in pain, "You ghost, stop being so arrogant. I will deal with you after I am free and protect the villagers."
"You should worry about yourself! You are a charlatan who eats and drinks for free and kills people. Do you think the court will let you go? I will send you to see the officials at dawn and tell them all the dirty things you have done over the years, so that you won't use this excuse to cheat people again."
Jiang Youzhen pointed at Wuhouzi's chest and said, "Qingyan, take out the thing in his arms. But be careful, this thing is very dangerous."
Just as Qingyan was getting something, Jiang Haiqing, who was lying on the ground and wailing, finally attracted everyone's attention.
"Ah~ Jiang Youzhen, you are so vicious! I want to kill you."
If he didn't howl, Jiang Youzhen would have forgotten about him.
He sneered, "I forgot about you. You are the instigator of this matter, right? After dawn, I will send you to the authorities."
The old lady Chen, who was standing by, was using her clothes to put out the fire for Jiang Haiqing. After much difficulty, the fire was put out. Jiang Haiqing was screaming in pain when he heard these words.
"Do you still have a conscience? Are you still a human being? My son is injured like this, and you still want to drag him to see the officials?"
Jiang Youzhen was so angry that he laughed. When people become shameless, they really don't know what shame is.
"If he hadn't harmed me first, would he have suffered this? He brought this upon himself! If anyone is to blame, it's you and Wu Houzi who are in cahoots with each other. Once you come into contact with such a dangerous thing, you'll be disfigured and scarred at best, or even lose your life at worst.
Regardless, this will end your career path. Aren't you evil? Fortunately, God has a vision and you ran into this."
After hearing Jiang Youzhen's words, Jiang Haiqing, who was wailing, shuddered.
Yes! If he had a scar, he wouldn't even be able to enter the examination room for the imperial examination. The imperial court had a clear rule that candidates must not have obvious scars on their bodies, but he had a large burn on his back.
At this moment, he didn't care about scolding Jiang Youzhen, he quickly grabbed Chen's hand.
"Mom! Quick! Call a doctor for me, it hurts, I can't leave a scar!"
When Chen heard this, she quickly called Zhou, who was hiding far away, to go and invite Doctor Liang.
Little Chen stood not far away and sneered, but did not come forward. At this time, everyone in the Jiang family was not doing well, and she felt comfortable all over.
"Jiang Youzhen, it's obviously you who hurt me! It must be you who pulled me in front of you, otherwise how could I be injured? Just wait, I will deal with you after I recover from my injury."
Jiang Haiqing asked old lady Chen to help him go back first. The pain was so unbearable that he even throbbed with pain when he stood up.
Unexpectedly, the material of his clothes behind him was burned, and a large area of his back was burned. Even the fig leaf was gone, revealing his big butt.
Everyone couldn't help laughing. Jiang Haiqing felt her clothes were loose and realized that she had been seen naked and her innocence was lost.
"Little Chen, are you dead? Can't you get me some clothes to cover yourself?"
When he thought about standing naked in front of everyone, his face became even hotter. He was a scholar, when had he ever been insulted like this?
When he thought of this, he wanted to cry for the first time.
"It hurts so much! Mom! It hurts!"
At this time, Jiang Hailin and Luo had already hidden far away. They could see clearly that today's incident would definitely not have any effect on Jiang Youzhen, and their family was going to be in trouble again.
"Where did your eldest brother find this Taoist priest? He's a master! Doesn't he have any Taoist skills at all? He was tied up by Jiang Youzhen just like that." Luo complained.
"How should I know? Isn't it said that Wu Houzi is very famous? I think he is just famous for nothing! Let's not get close to him, let's slip away first, otherwise Jiang Youzhen will get serious and send us to the authorities."
As Jiang Hailin spoke, he quietly pulled Luo to leave. Jiang Youzhen caught a glimpse of the two people's furtive movements from the corner of his eye and couldn't help but sneer.
It would be too easy for these two men to be sent to the authorities. We will settle the score with them later.
"Huh? What's going on? Why is Jiang Haiqing on fire? Could it be that Jiang Haiqing is the ghost? Otherwise, why is Jiang Haiqing on fire but Jiang Youzhen is not?" A villager raised his doubts.
"Yeah! Why is Jiang Haiqing on fire? Did he cast the spell wrong?"
