Shen Zhi also understood that the situation was urgent. If something happened to Ye Qingran because of saving him, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

So he nodded very wisely and stayed here, and consciously checked the surrounding situation, protected himself, and tried not to cause trouble to them.

In the cell, seeing the county magistrate's footsteps getting closer and closer, Ye Qingran looked around and took out a rusty bell from the space. Then he straightened his clothes, adjusted his expression, and looked at it very calmly. Walking up and down the cell corridors.

When the county magistrate came over, he was shocked when he saw her: "Who are you? How did you get in?"

After he finished speaking, he thought about it again and felt something was wrong, "No, you want to escape from prison? Come on, come on, come on, catch her!"

The surrounding guards moved upon hearing the sound, and immediately drew out the long knives at their waists and prepared to take action.

But Ye Qingran remained unmoved at this time, with a cold expression, and lowered his voice and said: "I am the th generation direct disciple of Lingshan. My master, Taoist Master Qingxu, has ordered me to remove the evil spirit from this cell for you."

When she said this, she quickly looked at the county magistrate with her eyes. She immediately saw that his collar was loose and his belt was crooked. There was still some flushing on his face. The look in his eyes showed that he had just had sex, and he knew what he was talking about. The voice was also a bit louder.

She shook the bell in her hand: "Originally, I should have informed you when I came here, but when I came, I counted on my fingers and found that your Excellency was... ahem, busy, so I came here to inspect it first."

Initially, the county magistrate thought she was making things up, but when she mentioned what she was busy with, he immediately realized what she was doing and had to believe it.

When he did that, even the servants were sent away, let alone such a little girl who came from nowhere.

"Why don't I remember Lingshan and Taoist Priest Qingxu?" He was still hesitant.

But Ye Qingran's expression was too calm, and his tone did not fluctuate at all: "Sir, noble people often forget things. A few years ago, you still asked someone to tell your fortune, right? At that time, my master was still a person with no name, walking on the street. I met the lord on the road and rushed to take the exam, so I failed the lord."

"There seems to be such a thing. Did he say that I would be on the list and become an official?"

Ye Qingran nodded: "Yes, I was told that your future will be smooth sailing, and you will have the fortune to prosper. But now, because you have a lot of lives on your hands, the resentment lingers, which has affected your career."

She frowned slightly, looked around pretendingly, and sighed, "I looked all the way here, but the killing is heaviest here. I'm afraid it will take some effort."

After she said these words, the county magistrate already believed her. Just seeing that she was a woman and not very young, could she really understand these things?

Ye Qingran was laughing in her heart. She made up everything about Lingshan and Taoist Master Qingxu. As for fortune telling on the way to the exam, it can be said that all candidates have done it, and they can win as long as they tell it.

She also knew that the county magistrate did not fully believe her, so she continued: "The resentment here is already very strong now. You should often hear whimpering sounds and rustling noises at night. It takes a long time. Everyone who stays here will be affected, either losing their consciousness or falling into a coma."

She shifted her gaze to the jailer who was drugged unconscious at the intersection, "Ah, I see something has happened."

She walked quickly to the fainted jailer, shook the bell on one of the jailers' heads three times in front of the county magistrate, and then brushed the jailer's face with her sleeves. In just a moment, the jailer woke up.

The county magistrate was shocked: "This is really the case. I thought they were snoozing, but I didn't expect that they were invaded by resentment!"

At this time, he didn't dare not believe Ye Qingran's words, and immediately stepped forward and said solemnly, "Master, you must help me!"

Ye Qingran frowned and sighed: "I was originally here to help you, but I came a little late after all. Your resentment has already accumulated to a certain extent. If there are any more, people will start to die. Maybe it won't be a threat at first. It won’t affect you, but over time it will inevitably affect your luck, and if it goes on, it will kill you.”

"Then what should I do now?"

Before Ye Qingran could answer him, he heard some commotion outside.

The magistrate was about to turn around and ask what happened when he saw a man walking over after kicking the surrounding guards to the ground.

This sudden situation surprised the county magistrate and said angrily: "Who are you?"

"It's someone you can't afford to mess with."

Ye Qingran was not surprised when he saw that the person coming was Chu Qingyun. He immediately said in front of the county magistrate: "Sir, this is my assistant and one of my own. He is an exorcist and his personality is a bit irritable. Please forgive me. "

The county magistrate was a little angry at first, but after hearing what she said, he endured it: "Since he is the master's friend, forget it. But you still have to be more careful in your future actions. After all, this is a government office."

"Yes, I will talk to him."

After the magistrate calmed down, he continued to ask: "So master, what should I do to save my life?"

Chu Qingyun was silent for a while before guessing the current situation. He couldn't help but marvel at this girl's cleverness in his heart, and he stood beside her cooperatively and stopped talking.

Ye Qingran's expression was serious: "First of all, we need to let go of all the people who have been wronged here. If someone dies after being wronged, the grievances here will be full. Once the grievances are full, things will start to happen in this government office, and you will naturally run away. It won’t fall off.”

She rang the bell and continued in a clear voice, "As the saying goes, every injustice has its debtor, and those who died unjustly turned into ghosts. The first to be found is the person who killed them unjustly. Sir, what do you think?" "

Although he was a little scared, the county magistrate still did not want to admit what he had done: "I am an honest and upright official. How can there be someone who died unjustly?"

"Oh? Really? Does that mean you don't need to exorcise the devil? Then I'll take my leave. Please take care of yourself, sir."

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet."

He stopped Ye Qingran and said, "Although I am a fair and honest official, there are always times when I make mistakes, and this cannot be avoided. I will now uncover all the cases that are uncertain and release those people, Master. What do you think?"

Ye Qingran nodded: "That's what you should do. But if you want to eliminate resentment, it's not enough to just let the living people go. You also have to burn incense and paper on the dead people, tell them your sins, and ask them to forgive you."

"Is this okay?" The county magistrate secretly rejoiced, feeling that these things were not difficult to handle.

"Of course not. This is just a way to temporarily suppress resentment. Resentment will multiply. If we want to completely eliminate it, we still have to start with you."

"I?"
