Lucky husband

Most of the villagers in Xiahe Village knew Li Chengshi. They knew that he was the son-in-law of the Jiang family and that he was a servant of the county government.

For ordinary villagers, there are two types of people in the county government. One is the county magistrate who is in charge of the land and water and has the greatest power.

The second is the servants of the county government, which are collectively referred to as the catcher and the head catcher. Once the county government dispatches the arrester, it means that the county government wants to arrest people, and they can't be provoked!

So seeing Li Chengshi coming, the villagers of Xiahe Village didn't dare to shout anymore, and the scene became quiet again.

Li Chengshi has a dark face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a strong figure. When he walks, his back is straight, and he has the momentum of opening and closing. Clothes, people who don't know him can't tell who he is.

Therefore, Goddess He is not afraid at all. Who is she? She has been in the landlord's house before, and has seen many scenes. Seeing that the person who arrested her is just a country mud leg, she broke free and yelled: "What are you doing?" Yes, let me go quickly, or I, Goddess He, will be impolite!"

"What Goddess He is, she's a liar!" Li Chengshi took out a length of rope from his arms, tied up Goddess He tightly in two or three strokes, and found a piece of rag to cover her mouth.

The operation was so fast and accurate that the Jiang family and the villagers didn't see it clearly, so Li Chengshi handed him over to Jiang Yuzhi: "Brother, look at this old woman, I'll expose her deception."

At this time, the man who was helping Goddess He with the burden rushed out and rushed towards Jiang Yuzhi and Goddess He: "Let go of Auntie!"

"Forgot that you still have accomplices." Li Chengshi took out another rope from his arms, tied up the big man firmly, and saluted a group of villagers in Xiahe Village who were hesitant to speak, "Please wait a moment .”

Then, Li Chengshi found an oiled paper bag from the arms of Goddess He. He went into Jiang's kitchen to find a bowl of water, and poured the white powder in the oiled paper bag into the water.

Then he took out another piece of white paper and wrote a few words with his finger dipped in the water in the bowl.When the handwriting on the paper was dry and there was no trace at all, he diluted it with vinegar from the kitchen and sprinkled it on the paper.

Under the sun, the place where the words were written on the paper began to turn red slowly, just like the bloody handprint that Goddess He showed you just now!

When the handwriting stopped changing, Li Chengshi took out a handful of plant ash from the kitchen cavity, mixed it with water and sprinkled it on the paper, and the blood-red handwriting disappeared miraculously, making everyone stare.

"My God!"

"what is this……"

The villagers were shocked. They witnessed the handwriting from appearing to disappearing. This means that Li Chengshi was right, Goddess He is a liar?

After regaining their senses, the villagers looked at Mistress He who was constantly struggling, and suddenly became angry from the heart:

"If it weren't for the presence of Catcher Li, we would almost have been fooled by this old liar."

"I heard people say that she is very powerful, so she is a liar!"

"What kind of temple in Ji Jiashan, it seems that the temple is also a lie!"

Hearing the villagers of Xiahe Village mention the temple of Jijiashan, Li Chengshi asked with some doubts: "The Jijiashan you are talking about is Jijiashan in Hongyun Prefecture?"

"Yes, it is."

"No, this old liar is just saying that she learned the skills from Ji Jia Temple."

Li Chengshi understood clearly, and said loudly: "As far as I know, there is only one Jijia Temple on Jijia Mountain in Hongyun Prefecture, and there is no temple."

The facts are now basically clear, this witch He is a liar, she does not know where she got this white powder that can turn blood red, and scares people to defraud money.

The reputation of Goddess He has not spread to Shanghe Village. Li Chengshi didn't know that there was such a person before, which allowed her to cheat for so long.

The magistrate has always hated this kind of pretending to be a ghost. If he knew about it, he would have been arrested by God.

After uncovering Mistress He's deception, Li Chengshi found a few strong men from Shanghe Village, and together with them escorted Mistress He and her accomplices to the county government.

Before leaving, Li Chengshi asked Jiang Yuzhi to pick up Jiang Zhiyun and Li Mingjin who were waiting outside, and pick them up when he came back from the county government.

Li Mingjin saw his cousin's state in a dream, and felt that his cousin was uncomfortable. After arriving at Jiang's house, Jiang Qiming's condition seemed to be even worse.

So, after Li Mingjin left Jiang Qiming's room, he approached Jiang Zhiyun, took out an amulet from Master Liaokong from his small purse, and slipped the amulet over: "Mother, can the amulet make my cousin recover quickly?" Some?"

Li Mingjin heard that amulets can make sick people get better quickly, so it should make my cousin feel better.

"Brother Jin, do you want to give the amulet to your cousin?" Jiang Zhiyun pinched the amulet, remembering that Master Kong said that the amulet would not be used on Brother Jin, thinking.

"Yes." Li Mingjin nodded.

Jiang Zhiyun asked Li Mingjin to wait outside, and she came forward to send the amulet out.

Jiang Qiming fell into the water and caught the cold. Jiang Zhiyun was pregnant, so she couldn't go into the house to see her nephew, so she had to call out Jiang Wang who had woken up and felt relieved after learning that Goddess He was a liar: "Sister-in-law, this is me and Brother Li went to the Lingyun Temple to ask for the amulet today, to protect the child's health, my aunt has no medical skills and can't help, so I gave the amulet to Qi Ming, I hope Qi Ming's body will get better soon."

The talisman that went to the Lingyun Temple to ask for the child's health must have been asked by the couple for Brother Jin and the child in his stomach. If it was normal, Jiang Wang would not accept such an object.

But Jiang Qiming had a high fever for three days and lost a lot of weight. She was really worried about the child, so she gritted her teeth and accepted the amulet: "Thank you, sister, I, I..."

Jiang Wang couldn't make a sound, she was very upset and didn't know what to say.

They are all mothers, Jiang Zhiyun understands very well, she pushed Jiang Wang: "Sister-in-law, hurry up and take care of Qi Ming's room, I will take Brother Jin and Qingyan outside."

At this time, the old man Jiang was boiling medicine for Jiang Qiming in the kitchen, and his hands trembled a little as he gave medicine to the stove fan.

How happy he was when he first saw Goddess He catching the water ghost. After learning that it was a scam, he was so disappointed. The gap in his heart made him look like he was several years old in an instant, and he wished he could replace it by himself. Grandson is seriously ill.

After half an hour, the old man Jiang finally cooked the medicine.

In the room, Jiang Qiming moved his fingers, but Jiang Wang, who was next to him and kept changing the towel on his forehead, didn't notice.

When old man Jiang brought the medicine into the room, Jiang Qiming finally lifted his heavy eyelids, opened his mouth and shouted: "Master, mother."

Old Jiang was about to give the medicine bowl to Jiang Wang, the expressions of both of them changed at the same time, the hot medicine was sprinkled on Old Jiang's hand, he shook the bowl and hit the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Qi Ming!" Jiang Wang appeared on Jiang Qiming's bedside in an instant, seeing that he really woke up, the expression on his face was crying and laughing, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

The old man Jiang walked over regardless of his scalded hand, looking at his weak but clear-eyed grandson, tears immediately fell from his slightly cloudy eyes.

"I..." Jiang Qiming's voice was hoarse.

After hearing this, Jiang Wang wiped away her tears, and stood up quickly: "Qi Ming, don't talk, mother will bring you a bowl of water to moisten your throat."

The old man Jiang then reacted, he stood up and cleaned up the broken porcelain on the floor, and then stood by Jiang Qiming's bedside, waiting for Mrs. Jiang Wang to come over before he went to bring medicine to his grandson.

Before Jiang Qiming was in a coma, it was not easy to feed the medicine. When the old man Jiang boiled the medicine, he added a little more water, thinking that he could feed as much as possible, so there was still a bowl of medicine left.

Jiang Qiming on the Jiang family's side finally woke up, and the two people who took care of him started to work.

On the other side, the team escorting Goddess He to the county government also arrived.

Just as Li Chengshi expected, the county magistrate was very disgusted with people like Goddess He, and after confirming that Goddess He was a liar, she frightened her severely, and she recruited herself.

Two years ago, Goddess He accidentally discovered that water mixed with white powder would turn red when exposed to vinegar, and recover when it encountered plant ash. She began to plan to use this powder as a witch.

In order to make herself look like that, she went to the temples and Taoist temples outside, and put in a lot of effort to observe and study.

With the bluffing posture, she began to fabricate the background for herself. There is a famous Lingyun Temple in Changping County. If it is too easy to be debunked by using Lingyun Temple, she thought of Ji Jiashan in Hongyun Prefecture and made it up. A Jijia Temple.

The neighborhood is full of honest villagers, and most of them have never been out of Changping County. No one knows what the situation in Hongyun Prefecture is like.

Catching ghosts, exorcising evil spirits, curing illnesses, looking at faces, changing fates... you can do a little bit of everything, and the fee is not low each time, saying it depends on fate.

She can easily deceive ghosts and exorcisms. After all, whether there are ghosts or not is up to her to decide. The only troublesome thing is the treatment. She has to see what the disease is and whether it can be cured in the end. If it can be cured, then it is predestined; if it doesn’t work, then naturally it is not predestined.

Goddess He said that she would do this and learned it from the masters of Lingyun Temple. Masters are like this, they are famous and can get money.

Relying on her "real ability" and cleverness, she successfully deceived everyone and became a well-known witch in the neighborhood.

According to Goddess He's own confession, the county magistrate sent officers to check around Yanlin Village, and the case was closed soon after confirmation.

First of all, Goddess He has spent more than half of the money defrauded by her, and the rest will be distributed to the villagers who have been defrauded by her.

The second is to punish Goddess He, because the amount of money she defrauded was more than 200 taels, and the circumstances were bad, the county magistrate finally decided to beat her twenty big boards, and then sent her to serve in the military for ten years.

It’s okay to beat the board, but the corvée is very heavy, more torture than being in prison. The body of a strong man will be destroyed after ten years of corvée, not to mention the sorceress, a woman in her 40s.

The purpose of the county magistrate is to catch the sorceress He and kill her as an example to the monkeys, so that those liars will know the consequences of deceiving the common people.
