Chapter 843: Too Tragic
Without those wild beasts, Xie Qiao could focus on dealing with these ghouls.
“How many ghouls did you see?” Zhao Xuanjing asked in a low voice, avoiding Xie Pinggang and Wen Lancheng.
“Many, and it’s very strange. These ghouls… are all rational. Most of them don’t have a lot of resentment. I don’t know why they went to the city to do bad things… Some of them have blood on their bodies. It shows that they didn’t only start to hurt people today.” Xie Qiao did not understand why.
Most of the ghouls would follow the rules, afraid that if they did something bad, they would be punished by their descendants.
“What is the bad thing you said?” Zhao Xuanjing asked.
Xie Qiao explained what happened to her during the day.
After Zhao Xuanjing heard it, he looked solemn. “Recently, a new fire observation tower is being built on North Street. Everything was going smoothly, but the bamboo stilts around the tower suddenly broke two days ago, and three people fell to their deaths.”
The three people who fell to their deaths were all from poor families. The officials paid compensation and they did not make a big deal out of it.
The reason why he cared about it was that there had been many accidents recently.
Besides the fire observation tower, there were two other people who were killed by falling tiles.
In the past ten days, accidents like this have happened one after another. In total, more than ten people died and seven or eight were injured.
The officials also thought something was wrong, so they handed over all the records of the accidents to the criminal division so that they could investigate whether there was something else going on.
Therefore, when Xie Qiao mentioned this, he immediately figured these ghouls must have something to do with the accidents in the city.
Xie Qiao was silent for a while, then she frowned. “I suspect that there’s something else in this mountain that needs to be searched tomorrow. Now… I’ll catch a few first and try to interrogate them…”
In front of the Crown Prince, there was no need for her to hide anything.
However, with her eldest brother here, it was a little troublesome.
Just as Xie Qiao finished speaking, a guard suddenly squatted on the ground in the crowd. He picked up the carcass of the pheasant and directly opened his mouth to eat it!
He had a mouthful of fur!
“Qin Zhi!” Zhou Weizong rushed over and snatched the thing from his mouth. “What are you doing? It’s difficult for you to be able to follow His Highness again. Why are you being so reckless?!”
Was this kid crazy?!
“Give it to me! I want to eat it, I want to eat it!” Qin Zhi reached out to snatch it.
Xie Qiao heard the commotion and looked at the guard. She sighed. “He is indeed not suitable to stay in this place with too much dark energy.”
Zhao Xuanjing could not care about the guards who followed him every day.
These guards were all selected. Qin Zhi could only work for him again if he had the ability to beat others.
“Half-immortal Xie…” Zhou Weizong was a little anxious, so he called out to Xie Qiao instantly. When he opened his mouth, he almost exposed her. He quickly said, “Young Lady Xie, what do you think happened to him?”
“The starving ghoul has possessed him.” Xie Qiao looked calm. Then, she took out a bowl and a water bag. Without saying anything, she melted the talisman in the water and stuffed it into Qin Zhi’s mouth.
The starving ghoul was instantly thrown out, and smoke rose from his body.
Qin Zhi rolled his eyes and actually fainted.
Even Zhou Weizong pitied the kid.
Ever since Qin Zhi had made a mistake and been chased away, he had suffered quite a bit of a trigger. For the past few months, after he recovered from his illness, he trained every day. On account of his loyalty, he gave him another chance…
Today… was the first time he had brought him out!
Something happened to him again!
There were so many people, and everyone else was fine. Only he had been possessed. It was too tragic..
