Shao Mabai stood up decisively when the man bought a prescription at a sky-high price.

"—From my point of view, Mrs. Zun is in good health, and I'm afraid she doesn't need to take medicine."

As soon as these words came out, like a thousand zhang white light piercing the night, it suddenly appeared, attracting everyone's attention.

Shao Mobai approached with Duan Wuji, and stopped in front of several people.

The imperial envoy turned back and looked him up and down with vacant eyes, "Who are you?"

Shao Mubai clasped his hands together, and said: "My lord, Cao Min is a ghost hunter who walks the rivers and lakes, specializing in catching ghosts and demons."

"Ghost catcher?" The imperial envoy obviously didn't believe it. "I have read a lot of poetry and books, and I am familiar with ancient and modern times. I have never heard of a ghost catcher. Seeing that you are young and have mediocre experience, you don't look like an outsider. Could it be some... charlatan, right?"

It said "warlock", not "liar", but that was the point.

Shao Mubai said: "Your Excellency, you are too worried. Even if I am a charlatan, even if I have ten guts, I would not dare to play tricks in front of court officials, would I?"

The imperial envoy sneered, "This is not certain. I have been in charge of Wan Jiang's pending case for three months, but there are many warlocks who want to make meritorious deeds who come to me and talk nonsense. They are all seen through by me, so they go back without success."

Shao Mobai took a step forward, and said: "That adult has a sharp eye, does he think that Caomin is just pretending to be a fool, or is he really capable?"

The imperial envoy faintly felt that he was not simple, so he wanted to dismiss him early: "I don't care whether you are true or not. Even if you are true, it has nothing to do with this case. I don't need to waste energy trying to reveal your identity."

"Who says it's irrelevant?" Shao Mobai played with the glazed fan in his hand, "From my point of view, this case is a murder case caused by ghosts and demons."

At this time, there were already a lot of onlookers. The neighbors who came to visit the bereaved couple heard that there was a novel "ghost catcher" here, and they all gathered around to watch the excitement.

Therefore, when Shao Zhengbai linked the dead baby with ghosts, the crowd sighed.

"It's just gibberish!"

The "Heavenly Master" who was watching coldly on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it anymore, and reprimanded him loudly.

"Ghosts are ghosts, and demons are demons. How can the two be compared? I have practiced the law for several years, and I know the world and the earth. I have never heard of ghosts and demons. How can ghosts kill people?"

Shao Mubai wanted to see how this fake man would make up nonsense when he fell to the ground, so he asked: "Then, according to what the Taoist priest saw, Wan Jiang gave birth to dead babies frequently, and no one survived, who did it?"

The Taoist twirled his beard in an inscrutable manner, "Wan Jiang's wife often suffers from severe diseases, with yin prospering and yang declining, and is prone to attract ghosts and evil spirits. The fetus was injured by evil qi and died in the womb."

Shao Mubai said: "Since there is an evil spirit, and the Taoist priest has powerful spells, it shouldn't be a problem to exorcise evil spirits?"

The Taoist shook his head, "Evil qi is caused by disease, so the disease must be cured before the evil qi can be eliminated."

"It sounds like this stubborn illness is very serious."

"It's natural."

"Then dare to ask, what disease does Mrs. Wan Jiang suffer from? Why is it that all the women are sick, but the husband is not injured? Could it be that this disease is smarter than humans and only spreads among women?"

Here, the Taoist just waved his whisk and said:

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Shao Mubai's polite smile gradually disappeared, and now that everyone was watching, it was a good time to expose this Taoist priest's hypocritical mask.

So he said: "Why don't you come down and answer for the Taoist priest? In the past year, Wan Jiang has never had a new baby. When the new baby was born, he cast spells and killed it, taking the baby's life."

The Taoist looked up to the sky with a long smile, and then scolded: "Hahaha! How dare you talk nonsense! Since you said it was a ghost, where is the ghost? Why don't you catch one and show it to me?"

Shao Mubai said: "I'm afraid the Taoist priest is talking about the scriptures? Now the sky is blue and the sun is bright, and there are many people and spirits. Of course ghosts and monsters can't hide."

"That is to say, you can't catch it?" The Taoist was complacent, his tone was dangerous, his eyes like lobster whiskers were dimmed, and he said, "I don't have the ability, but my tone is not small. One mouthful of a ghost, to say It has to be like the real thing, it’s really ridiculous!"

He naturally has some eloquence, otherwise, it would be impossible to fool so many Wanjiang people into believing a Taoist priest who does not cast spells but only sells medicine.

Shao Zhengbai was not afraid at all. After all, he was the leader of martial arts in his previous life. Although he ended up in a bad situation, he had seen many big scenes.So he just smiled coldly and said in a calm manner:

"The Daoist taunted me that I couldn't catch the ghosts. The Daoist has been here for more than three months. Can the evil spirit in your mouth be dispelled? During this period, is there any youngest son who came to the world safely? Can a woman eat you? Lin'er was born after the unsightly decoction?"

The three questions came out in succession, one after the other, leaving the Taoist speechless all of a sudden.

Shao Mobai went on to say: "No, not a single one. Although I am young, I have also met some Taoist priests when I wandered in the rivers and lakes. They are highly cultivated, and they are well-organized when it comes to Taoism. No matter how bad they are, they will not attribute ghosts and evil Sell ​​medicine for women's diseases."

"Ben, this Dao is a celestial master, so it is naturally different from ordinary Taoists."

"Since you said that the woman has a disease, why can't the doctor diagnose any abnormalities? Or are you saying that the woman is not sick at all, but you just fabricated it out of thin air and used it as an excuse to sell sky-high prices!"

"You're just messing around!" Seeing that the theory was no match for the opponent, the Taoist beat him up first, "You said that the woman is not sick, do you have proof?"

Shao Mobai's eyes froze, and a cold light flashed, "Of course."

Afterwards, he turned around and asked the man who lost his beloved son in a soft tone, "Brother, can you allow me to try on your son?"

The man saw that the two were facing each other, and the Taoist priest was backed by imperial envoys, so he hesitated for a while, "This..."

The Taoist didn't know what Shao Mobai wanted to do, so he flicked his whisk, "Let him try, I have to see what the hell this kid is going to do!"

So, everyone agreed.

The midwife came over with the baby's body in her arms, and lifted the sackcloth covering the little face.Before the corpse became stiff, Shao Mobai took out the child's little hand and pricked it with a needle, and immediately, red blood overflowed.

In an instant, the Taoist priest's face turned pale, and he almost lost his whisk.

Shao Mobai showed the blood to everyone, "As we all know, after a person dies, the blood will not stagnate immediately, but you can see that there is not only residual body temperature here, but also bleeding. That is to say, he did not die for a long time, not like This Taoist said that because of a woman's illness, she suffers from evil spirits and dies in her womb!"

With a bang, a giant thunder descended into the world, and after splitting through the heavy clouds, the truth came out.

"nonsense!"

The Taoist became anxious, "What do you mean, the majestic celestial masters will deceive the world?"

Shao Mobai put the child's hand back into the swaddle, and said, "Of course the Celestial Master won't, but you are not the Celestial Master."

"you--"

"—Why don't you let me speculate about your origin? You were just a mortal. When you heard that Wan Jiang had an unresolved case, you had a bad idea. You made up an excuse that a woman had a disease, and used it to sell medicine and fill your pockets. For profiteering. Right?"

The Taoist blushed and had a thick neck when he said it, and he only said "nonsense" in his mouth, but he couldn't refute it for a while.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shao Mobai said: "Everyone, don't be deceived by him, the real celestial master is far away in Hengyu country, it is impossible to appear here. Besides, has any of you seen a Taoist priest selling medicine to make money instead of using spells to exorcise evil spirits? "

After he finished these words in one breath, everyone was obviously stunned.There was silence everywhere, and there were loud noises from fallen leaves touching the ground.

And the imperial envoy who hadn't spoken for a long time only stood behind Shao Mobai, and finally took a step forward, speaking slowly and sadly:

"The emperor's kindness is mighty. I sent my official to solve the outstanding case. I don't want to be criticized by this. My heart is chilling..."

After finishing speaking, he turned around slowly, but at the moment of turning around, a sinister smile appeared on his face, as if everything was under control.

What he said was undoubtedly because the fuel had entered the water tank, and it became smudged and cloudy all at once.

Not long after, there was a response from the crowd, but it was completely different from what Shao Duan and the others expected.

"My lord, you can't be disappointed with all of us just because of a few rioters! We are loyal to your lord and to the emperor, and the world can learn from it!"

"How can this person say that the celestial master is a fake? The celestial master was personally invited by the imperial envoy. How can this be fake?"

"That's right. I took that medicine, and I think it's quite useful."

"Even if it's fake, the imperial envoy is so shrewd, can he not see it?"

"People's consciences are so bad now that even celestial masters are ridden on top."

......

There was a lot of discussion in the crowd, all of them blamed and scolded, only one young man stood up and thought what Shao Mobai said was reasonable, but was reprimanded by everyone and went back, and he dared not speak more.

After a while, some radical person said: "In my opinion, this kind of mind is not righteous, and it should be burned!"

A hundred calls.

Shao Mobai was on the stone steps, watching these people raise their hands one after another, agreeing to be burned.One after another, not long after, everyone raised their hands, like ghost hands crawling out of a swamp, baring their teeth and claws, as if they wanted to tear people's souls apart.

Shao Mengbai's eyes gradually dimmed.In the previous life, he was accused by thousands of people, and the martial arts sects also did the same before strangling him. One after another, they raised their arms and shouted "Our sect seconded the proposal".At that time, he was tied to the high platform by iron chains, and he looked down like this, watching them echoing what they said, and the glimmer in his eyes went out bit by bit.

Some people have neither opinions nor thoughts.He only followed others to make decisions, and when others said yes, he said yes, and when others said that person deserved to die, he also said that he deserved to die.Gradually, he became a shell, like a puppet, living the same life as other puppets.

In this way, without saying a word, those people accused Shao Mobai and the others of "disobedience and deceitful words to deceive the public".

All this was obviously expected by the imperial envoy, he raised his arm and gestured to the yamen servant he had brought earlier:

"Come on, take it!"

Then, the swords faced each other.

Please forgive me for being sick for a day~
