After rebirth, Bai Yueguang became a black lotus

Lu Youzhi sat on a stone bench, the moonlight shining on her face and body, casting a hazy shadow over her, making her look more mysterious and more fairy-like than during the day.

If you only look at her appearance, how can you tell that she is a demon catcher who scares demons to death?

Mr. Chen and County Magistrate Zeng were thinking this, but they did not show it on their faces. Instead, they came up to Lu Youzhi and sat down opposite her.

"Miss Lu, I guess you have found a solution?"

As soon as they sat down, County Magistrate Zeng couldn't wait to ask. Lu Youzhi smiled and pursed her lips, regaining her high spirits during the day. She said, "Yes, I said, these are just a group of small ghosts, nothing to worry about."

The eyes of both of them lit up instantly.

Although they did not doubt Lu Youzhi's strength or what she said, they were still very excited at the moment when the dust settled.

finally…

An County will finally stop having these strange things happen so frequently, which is a great thing for them.

The two were very excited and were about to say something to praise Lu Youzhi, but the next second, Lu Youzhi changed the subject and said, "But..."

"But what?"

County Magistrate Zeng still had a smile on his face. When he heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Seeing how nervous he was, Lu Youzhi couldn't help but laugh: "It's not that difficult."

"The reason why ghosts appear in An County is because there is too much resentment in An County. Even if I eliminate the ghosts this time, if the source of the resentment cannot be eliminated, the ghosts will continue to breed. In other words, as long as I leave, An County will sooner or later become a dead city."

County Magistrate Zeng was anxious: "What should we do?"

Master Chen also looked anxious: "Why is there such a great resentment in An County?"

The two of them seemed to be really unaware of the situation. Lu Youzhi glanced at Master Chen, then at Magistrate Zeng, with a strange expression on her face: "Don't you really know the reason?"

It seemed that the reason was related to them. The two looked at each other, and then County Magistrate Zeng shook his head: "We really don't know. I hope the young lady will not hesitate to teach us."

"That's all because..."

Lu Youzhi recounted many bloody incidents in An County. She said that most of the people in An County were extremely arrogant, especially in front of outsiders. They always claimed to be superior and did not take the lives of outsiders seriously at all. Therefore, they killed many innocent outsiders.

However, because their methods were too cruel and brutal, these people's resentment remained after their death. Over time, the resentment gave rise to ghosts who wanted to avenge them.

Lu Youzhi's words were so convincing that County Magistrate Zeng and Chen Shiyehu were stunned. It was not until Lu Youzhi asked them again whether they knew about these things that a guilty look flashed across their faces.

Obviously, they knew what kind of people these people from An County were, but because they were their own people, they always turned a blind eye.

In other words, their attitude towards outsiders was not very good.

The look in Lu Youzhi's eyes when she looked at them changed immediately, and there was something ambiguous in it.

County Magistrate Zeng quickly responded: "I didn't know there were so many ruthless people under my jurisdiction. Miss Lu, what do you think we should do? We will do whatever you say."

Without waiting for Magistrate Zeng to answer, Master Chen said, "Killing someone means paying for their life. I think we should arrest the murderers, interrogate them, and execute them. Only in this way can we appease the resentment in An County."

"Master Chen is right."

Lu Youzhi glanced at Master Chen and said, "However, I negotiated with the ghosts today. She said that they would seek revenge on those who killed them and would not harm innocent people again."

"I won't attack anyone at night just because of the sound of someone talking."

"That's good, that's good." Mr. Chen and Magistrate Zeng both breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was really hard to accept that they had to remain quiet at night. Who could guarantee that they would have nothing to say?

More importantly, there are some things that can only be done at night. Doing them during the day always feels a little lacking.

Although Lu Youzhi did not eliminate the ghosts, the news she brought was good news. At least people could talk at night. However, Master Chen and Magistrate Zeng did not trust Lu Youzhi so much and did not announce the news so quickly. Instead, after experimenting for a few nights, they confirmed that there would be no danger in talking at night, so they sent people to post the notice.

Of course, at the same time, Lu Youzhi's words were also attached. In short, every wrong has its perpetrator, and whoever kills someone must pay with his life. After the murderer has paid with his life, there will be no more ghosts in An County, and the past events will not happen again.

Of course, there is no blood on their hands, but those who died because of them are not immune.

In short, anyone who does bad things will be punished.

As soon as the notice was posted, it immediately caused an uproar. After all, in An County, at least one-fifth of the people had blood on their hands and had done bad things, and half of this one-fifth had killed people.

The population of An County is around 5,000.

And more than 500 people have killed people.

But those who dare to kill are all rich, powerful and influential. How many powerful people can there be in An County? What's more, this is direct murder. There are also those who force people into a desperate situation and have to die. Those people are not included.

Therefore, once this notice was issued, it was tantamount to sentencing all the powerful people in the city to death.

"How could such a thing happen?"

"What do you mean by life for a life? Those outsiders, even if we don't kill them, they won't be able to survive!"

"That's right, why should we pay for the lives of those inferior people?"

Many people in the crowd were talking about the situation, especially those noblemen and ladies who were dressed gorgeously. Their faces looked as ugly as if they had eaten shit, but they did not bother to say too much and wanted to rush home to discuss countermeasures.

……

In the basement, a maid brought a basin of rotten rice to a dungeon, where a woman with disheveled hair was imprisoned, emitting a strange smell.

As soon as the maid saw her, she immediately frowned in disgust: "Bitch, it's time to eat."

The woman didn't react at all. Seeing this, the maid sneered: "A lowly outsider dares to covet our young master. He is really a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"I told you to leave but you didn't want to. You deserve what you've done."

"If you ask me, the masters and ladies are too kind. They didn't just beat you to death. Humph, you're like a dirty bug, disgusting!"

The maidservant cursed wantonly, but no matter how she cursed, the woman in the dungeon remained silent. Seeing this, the maidservant felt bored and threw down her meal and prepared to leave. But the moment she put the bowl on the ground, suddenly, the woman who had been as quiet as a chicken suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the maidservant. Her wrist passed through the iron bar and grabbed the maidservant's hand tightly.

"Let me out, let me out."
