By the time you want to get away, it's too late.

"Mrs. Han is a very ambitious woman. Through her brother's relationship, she can get close to you, the highest ruler in Fenghua City."

Chen Mu looked at the pale-faced Deng Wensheng, and said calmly. "She knows how to please a person, especially a man. She wants to use you to gain more power, so she will actively seduce you, right?"

thump!

Deng Wensheng knelt down on the ground like a deflated ball.

All the secrets, all the disguises were torn off by Chen Musheng at this moment, revealing a hypocrite beneath the moral surface!

He was clutching the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, tears streaming down his face.

The turbid tears ran across the spider-like wrinkles, and fell to the ground drop by drop, bursting into tears of regret.

"Know the face but not the heart."

Bai Xianyu looked coldly at this upright official who was praised by many officials in the court as the mainstay of the Yan Qing Dynasty, full of disgust.

Thinking about how wonderful the expressions on the faces of those officials who praised this person would be if they were in the court at this time.

Deng Wensheng is completely over.

If this matter spread to the imperial court, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

And the forces in the court will inevitably undergo turmoil and change because of Deng Wensheng's fall, and a new situation will emerge.

"The night demon formation requires the cooperation of the imperial court and the Valley of Destiny to open it."

Chen Mu looked at the old man who seemed to have aged ten years in an instant before him, and said slowly. "I didn't want to be you before, but in the end you let me down.

According to the rules of the imperial court, the key to the night demon formation will be kept by the magistrate of Fenghua City, so you gave the key to Mrs. Han.But your actions almost killed the whole city. "

"It's my fault... I'm stupid... It's that poisonous woman who hurt me! Killed me!"

Deng Wensheng slammed his forehead heavily, blaming himself extremely.

Chen Mu continued: "Although you woke up later and severed contact with Mrs. Han, especially after Mrs. Han's death, you felt more at ease, but some things will still be found out eventually.

In order to cover up your mistakes, you watched your first wife die from illness.

Your daughter accidentally saw the ugly side of you and Mrs. Han, so you beat her to death in the name of morality.

Do you love your wife and daughter?Of course love.

Because you feel guilty, you no longer live in the government office, but found such a dilapidated hut, allowing yourself to repent and atone for your sins in suffering.

But what you love more is yourself.

You want to shape yourself into a perfect and upright official, who will last forever and become a saint admired by future generations of students.

So you don't allow your mistakes to be exposed by others, even your relatives! "

Every sentence, every word of Chen Mu was like a scalpel on the operating table, bit by bit peeling off Deng Wensheng's human skin.

Under the human skin, there are still people.

It was a very strange body with sin marks written all over it.

Chen Mu leaned over to stare at Deng Wensheng, who was looking sad, and said coldly: "Master Deng, you still have a chance to redeem yourself, and that is to tell me the whereabouts of Mrs. Han. Don't say you don't know."

Deng Wensheng showed bitterness: "Master Chen, believe it or not, I really don't know her whereabouts. She has never looked for me in these years."

"That is to say, you have lost the value of use."

Seeing that Deng Wensheng didn't seem to be lying, Chen Mu lightly tapped the rough handrail with his fingers, his eyes flickering.

He was sure that it was impossible for Mrs. Han to leave Fenghua City.

According to that woman's character, even if the Ye Yao's formation is broken, she will have a hole card.

For her, losing everything was tantamount to taking her life.She will retaliate wildly no matter what the cost.

Just as Chen Mu was thinking, there was a sudden loud noise outside.

"what happened?"

Chen Mu was startled, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Goddess and Bai Xianyu also frowned.

As soon as they left the room, they saw a few yamen servants rushing into the courtyard, kneeling on the ground with a flustered expression: "My lord, some people in the city...some people have rebelled!"

rebel?

Chen Mu and the others were stunned.

Deng Wensheng regained his senses, wiped away the tears on his face, stared and said angrily: "What nonsense, how could the people in the city rebel!"

"My lord, it's true!"

The face of the first yamen servant was as pale as paper. "The humble official saw with his own eyes that some people suddenly rebelled, they were extremely vicious, and even... even cannibalized!"

cannibal?

Looking at the panic-stricken yamen servants, a chill ran up everyone's backs.

At this moment, the yamen servant who was kneeling at the end suddenly began to tremble violently, and his panicked eyes lit up with a piercing red light.

Without any warning, he rushed to his companions in front.

Then he lowered his head and bit the opponent's neck tightly, tearing off a piece of flesh, blood spattering.

This scene stunned Chen Mu and the others.

Fortunately, the Goddess reacted quickly, and when the other party rushed towards the other people, she waved her hand and shot the other party to the ground.

But the man still stood up, his scarlet eyes fixed on Chen Mu and the others.

There is only appetite in his eyes, as if he wants to swallow them all.

He waved his claws and rushed towards Chen Mu at an extremely fast speed, almost like a wild beast.

Beside him, Bai Xianyu rolled his long whip violently, a head flew straight up, and then the corpse fell straight backwards.

"This is... this is..."

Deng Wensheng's face was pale, and his body trembled as he looked at the yamen servant who was normal just now but now his body was separated.
