After rescuing the trapped people and interrogating everyone in the government office, the truth about the plague in Liao City was finally revealed. Although everyone knew about Wang Jilai's outrageous actions, they could not help but feel angry again. Gu Moyan even went down to the secret chamber to personally execute the punishment to vent his anger. That ruthlessness made Yan, who was beside him, take a few steps back. It was too ruthless. Those who did not know better would think that he had a deep hatred for Wang Jilai. However, this person was indeed hateful. Previously, Yan had attacked him as if he was risking his life.
Gu Moxi took her subordinates to stay in the government office and handed a memorial to Gu Moran to explain the whole story. She also requested a number of doctors to come and treat the injured. In addition, she needed a large number of medicines and bandages, as well as all the items needed for disaster relief.
In the court, when Gu Moran received the memorial, he was furious. He ordered the imperial physicians and most of the doctors in Shengyang City to rush to Liao City and ordered the Ministry of Revenue to gather disaster relief materials. The Ministry of Justice went to escort the prisoners and announce Wang Jilai's crimes to the world. He even thought of going to appease the people himself, but was persuaded by the old prime minister. The monarch of a country was busy every day, not to mention Gu Moxi and the others could handle it properly. Although Gu Moran was anxious, she could only give up when she thought of the mountain of memorials in the royal study. He waved his hand and left, then went to find the Empress for comfort.
In the afternoon, the Ministry of Justice sent people to escort the prisoners to Liao City. At the same time, the imperial physician and more than ten senior doctors arrived. They brought the first batch of relief supplies, and it was said that more would be sent in the next two days. When the wealthy people of Shengyang City heard the news, they immediately took out winter supplies, medicine, and banknotes that were not needed at home. Even the ordinary people took out their little spare money. As a result, the disaster relief was unusually smooth.
Martial King Gu Moyan even ordered a small group of soldiers to come and help. They distributed supplies, repaired the houses, and cleaned up. The entire Liao City regained some vitality because of their arrival. Even the dark clouds that shrouded the sky seemed to have dispersed a little. Some sunlight shone down faintly, making it seem like a lifetime ago.
The people from the Ministry of Justice came a little late. Gu Moxi asked them to stay the night and escort Wang Ji to Shengyang City tomorrow morning. His Highness had ordered them to stay and check the prisoner in the secret room. They wanted to get up early tomorrow and push the prisoner into the Ministry of Justice prison before lunch. However, they didn't expect that they would return empty-handed this time because Wang Jilai was brought out of the secret room and burned to death in the middle of the night.
The heavens seemed to sense that the wicked had received their retribution. Scattered stars appeared in the cloudy sky for days. The harmful snowflakes also stopped when Wang Jilai was tied up. However, the black fog flying at a low altitude and high speed still did not dissipate. It was obsessed with waiting for something. The busy soldiers, doctors, the people of Liao City, the rescued wounded, and the Gu Moxi brothers and secret guards all fell into a sweet sleep.
Lan Xi did not stay with Gu Moxi in the government office. She stayed in Fulai Inn with two of her men. In the dead of night, Lan Xi stepped into the government office alone. Her white figure was like a ghost. The closed vermilion door opened automatically, making an ancient and long creak. It was especially loud in the night and alerted a man who was sleeping lightly in a bedroom.
She stepped into the magistrate's bedroom as if she had been there before. She turned on the switch of the bed that connected to the secret passage. There was no need for the lights to illuminate the road ahead. Lan Xi lifted her feet and walked down the secret passage. With a wave of her hand, the bed on both sides silently turned into pieces. Only then did she really walk down the stone steps. After passing through the wide and long secret passage, the thick smell of blood stimulated her sense of smell. Her dark cat eyes locked onto the man who was lying on the ground on his last breath. The smell of blood was coming from him.
Wang Jilai had already tasted every torture tool he had set up. The wounds on his body were many times more than those of the rescued civilians. It was already a miracle that he did not die. Seeing the woman in front of him, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. At the end of his life, he still hoped to live, hoped that someone would come to save him, and hoped that he could live a good life again.
Wang Ji had seen her before and knew that she was deeply loved by King Jing, Gu Moxi. Although he did not understand why she was here, he still held a trace of hope and tried his best to ask," A-Mother, are you here to save me?"”
Disgust and impatience flashed across Lan Xi's eyes. She really felt that there was no need for this human to exist anymore. The faint smile on her lips seemed to be tainted with evil, making her even more beautiful and moving. Her silvery voice was like the sound of nature." Yes, to free you from your suffering."”After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the exit. Wang Jilai floated in the air and gradually left the secret chamber with her footsteps.
When they came out again, Liao City seemed to have returned to its previous appearance. The few stars that were revealed before were once again shrouded by dark clouds. The gloomy air was like a bloody mouth, scrambling to swallow Lan Xi and Wang Jilai whole. The ghostly figure quietly came and left the government office. Except for the man who was awakened by the sound of the door opening, no one noticed it.
This was the third time she had come to the northern city gate. The cold air gave her goosebumps. Even the fox fur cloak that was extremely effective against the cold could not resist it. Lan Xi could not help but shiver and rub her arms. From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Wang Jilai, who had touched the ground again, and the black shadow not far away. Her pink lips curled into a meaningful smile.
Wang Jilai's eyes met that smile and he panicked for no reason. It was as if he saw death beckoning to him. He said in a daze," A-Miss, what do you mean? Didn't you say that you were going to save me?"”
Nodding, Lan Xi looked up at the black fog in the sky and said calmly," Watch carefully. I'll let him escape from his suffering now. When his soul leaves his body, you can do whatever you want with him."”
" Miss, Miss…" Stunned, the panic in Wang Jilai's heart grew deeper and deeper. For some reason, he overlapped the beautiful and elegant woman in front of him with the Grim Reaper in the people's words. His body moved bit by bit, trying to escape this place and escape the fate that was about to descend.
"Ha ~" A light laugh escaped from her red lips. Lan Xi stretched out her hand under the cloak. A strange blue flame suddenly ignited on the tip of her index finger. She looked down at Wang Jilai like a king overlooking all living beings. The ridicule in her eyes seemed to be mocking his whimsical imagination, which made Wang Jilai even more afraid.
Suddenly, Lan Xi was about to press her fingers down when a figure grabbed her hand. He gently held her fair and tender hand, not worried that the fire on his fingertips would burn her. He looked at her with his phoenix eyes full of love and tenderness, as if he wanted to drown her. His sexy lips were filled with infinite concern for her, and he said quietly," Why dirty Xi 'er's hands? Let me do it."”
After staring at each other for a while, the flame on Lan Xi's fingertips finally disappeared. Gu Moxi took out a lighter from her pocket and blew it, throwing it at Wang Jilai in horror. Suddenly, his whole body was burning, and the raging fire shone on their faces. They smiled and watched him rolling on the ground and screaming in pain. The corners of their mouths even held the same arc. At this moment, they were both executioners, killing the scum of the world.
Lan Xi only asked with a smile when the human figure that she could not see remained still," He's a felon who will be escorted to Shengyang tomorrow, right? How are you going to explain this to Gu Moran?"”That teasing smile and the malicious look in her eyes were all telling her that she was gloating.
" It's okay. I'll support Xi 'er and give her what she wants. I'll take what I don't have. Even if Xi' er wants the throne, I'll take it from my brother and give it to you. If Xi 'er wants the world, I'll get rid of Saint Jun and Yuan Sage.”A warm palm caressed her head. Gu Moxi said such treacherous words, killing her brother to seize the throne, waging a war for a beauty, and abandoning the safety of the people. If others heard it, they would blame Lan Xi for being a disaster.
Lan Xi stopped laughing and pretended not to hear anything. She looked up at the sky. The huge black fog was rolling and there were shrill screams coming from the center. It was Wang Jilai's soul. There were also many noisy curses, laughter, and demands for his life. It was obvious how much the living souls hated him. It was no wonder. After Wang Jilai took over his brother's official position, he committed all kinds of crimes. Most of the people in Liao City died at his hands. Now was the time for revenge. How could they show mercy?
Gu Moxi looked at the woman beside her affectionately and clenched her hands tightly. Tonight, she had seen a different look. She did not expect the quiet Xi 'er to be mischievous and gloating. She followed her gaze to the sky and asked gently," Xi' er, what are you looking at?"”
"Gu Mo Xi, people have their own ways, ghosts have their own ways. You kill people, ghosts naturally kill ghosts. Thank you for today's matter.”Although Lan Xi was the Ghost Lord, she was still a demon. The people she killed, no matter good or bad, would always have disadvantages. When she went through the lightning tribulation, the danger would increase.
In the end, Wang Jilai was reduced to ashes. After taking revenge, the living souls revealed their appearances before they died. They knelt in front of Lan Xi and filled the entire street. They were grateful to her, forever grateful to her. What awaited them was reincarnation and a new life. However, could they really be reincarnated smoothly?
As if she knew their worries, Lan Xi looked back at the night outside the city gate indifferently. Her eyes were cold, and her silent pressure rushed towards the river that was slightly further away. The corners of her lips curled up into a proud arc, and she turned to the living souls waiting to be reincarnated. She instantly became indifferent. Her fingertip pointed at the wooden door of the house on the street, and the wooden door flashed and turned into a fog.
When the Ghost Gate opened, they only needed to pass through it to see the Black and White Ghosts. However, did they really have to bring their bodies full of resentment?
"Go, I will wipe away your resentment and bury your bodies. Go, the messenger is waiting for you on the other side of the door. Be a good person in your next life and be safe.”Lan Xi's gentle voice comforted them as she watched them kowtow and head towards the Ghost Gate.
Lan Xi was holding a purple violin in her hand. She strummed the strings, and the beautiful and soul-stirring notes flowed out like water. The Christian hymn " Amazing Grace " was called Amazing Grace in Chinese. It had the same theme as the Bible and was used in funerals. It was a holy, beautiful, solemn, and peaceful song. Lan Xi would play it every time she sent off the souls who were suffering but could not be reincarnated as they wished, hoping that they would live a peaceful life in their next life.
This was the first time Gu Moxi had seen Lan Xi's talent. Even after a long time, he still remembered such a beautiful scene clearly. He remembered the peaceful music in his ears. Although he didn't recognize the instrument, it was better than any music he had heard before. It resonated with him even more.
Amidst the holy music, the dark clouds that shrouded the city dissipated silently, giving people a feeling of being enlightened. Every living soul washed away their resentment and entered the Gate of Hell cleanly. The music stopped, and the living souls left the Gate of Hell. Except for the evil ghost outside the city that refused to leave. Lan Xi could only shake her head helplessly at it and sigh as she changed her hand into a claw. The scattered soul that was shining with a cold light was shocking. She did not move but waved her claw at the gate. The bloody scratch mark rushed to the other side. The soul root of the living soul was dispersed, and from then on, it turned into ashes like Wang Jilai.
