After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 130 Interrogation 1

"It seems that your magic is not effective, sir." Zhang Xiaohan's voice was full of teasing and sarcasm.

Xu Yingying's face turned slightly red. She couldn't believe why the spell had no effect on Zhang Xiaohan.

But fortunately, the formation was able to trap Zhang Xiaohan, which also gave Xu Yingying enough time.

The exorcism spell has no effect on Zhang Xiaohan, which means that the evil ghost is not in Zhang Xiaohan's body, or in other words, the evil ghost's strength is so strong that it is not afraid of the exorcism spell.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingying's face became even more solemn. If it was the latter, then the matter would be much more serious. If it was left unchecked, then there would be no men left in the entire Jun County.

But it doesn't make sense logically. Camellia had fought with Zhang Xiaohan before, but Zhang Xiaohan was no match for her at all, and Camellia was subject to this spell. Could it be that Zhang Xiaohan was a half-human, half-ghost monster?

Xu Yingying didn't have time to think about it. Since the magic was ineffective, Xu Yingying could only persuade him with kind words.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then slowly said, "Ms. Zhang, I know you must have your reasons. Why did you kill so many people? The energy of so many people must have almost reached the limit for your body. If you tell me what happened, I might be able to help you solve it. You also know what I do. Killing someone means paying with your life. With so many lives on your hands, there will be ghosts who will not let you go, right..."

Xu Yingying tried to persuade him in every possible way, and in the end she was so thirsty from talking, but Zhang Xiaohan remained silent and did not want to reveal any information at all.

While Xu Yingying felt frustrated, she hated Zhang Xiaohan even more.

"Zhang Xiaohan! Are you really going to persist?" Xu Yingying roared in Zhang Xiaohan's ear.

Zhang Xiaohan then casually picked his ears, as if he felt Xu Yingying was a little noisy, "Sir, there is no need to say more. I will not tell you what you want to know. I advise you again, I don't want to kill you now, so don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise you may die one day without knowing how."

In Xu Yingying's view, this sentence was a provocation and threat.

Xu Yingying was furious and stopped trying to persuade him. She turned around and left the room, no longer caring about Zhang Xiaohan who was still imprisoned in the formation.

Li Siqi saw Xu Yingying coming out angrily, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "But was it successful?"

Seeing that it was Li Siqi, Xu Yingying shook her head helplessly, a little discouraged, "She still refuses to say anything, and now she is just dealing with it passively, but we can't let it go on any longer. She has started to absorb the yang energy of men on a large scale today. If this continues, more people will die." Xu Yingying was very worried.

Li Siqi's face darkened when he heard this. He also knew what Xu Yingying said. Although he couldn't see it, he could sense that something was wrong in Yihong Courtyard today.

"Should we send someone to arrest Zhang Xiaohan?" Li Siqi asked.

Xu Yingying thought for a moment and nodded, "This is the only way. If we put the person under our own noses, things will be much easier to solve. When I find a way, I can deal with the ghost."

Li Siqi was about to ask someone to do it, but was stopped by Xu Yingying again.

"Wait, Zhang Xiaohan's strength is unpredictable. To be on the safe side, let's lock her up alone in the mansion. I will set up a formation in the dungeon later to suppress her hostility."

Li Siqi felt that Xu Yingying's words made sense, and he also agreed: "Okay, then I will go find Huang Shaohua, you go back to the mansion to make arrangements, and we will meet at the mansion later."

After saying that, Li Siqi left quickly, and Xu Yingying also returned to the mansion as quickly as possible.

She looked around the entire courtyard, and finally, she decided on a small courtyard in the southeast direction. Although it was small, it was enough space for one person to move around. What's more, Xu Yingying planned to use this place to imprison Zhang Xiaohan, so it naturally didn't need to be so comfortable.

After setting up formations around the house, in order to prevent Zhang Xiaohan from forcing his way through the formation, she also set up many formations inside and outside the yard, just to be able to control Zhang Xiaohan.

As for Li Siqi, he first went to find Huang Shaohua.

At this time, Huang Shaohua had just returned to his mansion when he heard a servant come to report that Li Siqi had arrived.

Huang Shaohua had no time to rest and hurried to greet Li Siqi.

Li Siqi didn't exchange pleasantries with Huang Shaohua, and directly ordered: "Take a few people to Yihong Courtyard to capture Zhang Xiaohan, and send him directly to my residence, quickly."

"Your Highness, do you suspect that Miss Zhang?" Huang Shaohua was a little puzzled.

But as soon as he asked this question, Huang Shaohua looked at Li Siqi's expression and knew that he had said the wrong thing.

He tactfully shut his mouth, asked no more questions, and personally took people to Yihongyuan.

As the county lady, Wang Ma naturally recognized Huang Shaohua, and hurriedly walked up to her with a smile, "Mr. Huang came to our Yihong Courtyard, but which girl did you come to see?"

This is a brothel, and Aunt Wang really couldn't imagine why Huang Shaohua came here if not for the girls.

But Wang Ma had the wrong idea. Huang Shaohua said in a businesslike manner, "I am here today to discuss the recent murder case in the city. Is Zhang Xiaohan here?"

Aunt Wang was in a dilemma now. Zhang Xiaohan was the signature of Yihongyuan. If she was taken away, the loss of Yihongyuan would be huge.

"This..." Aunt Wang looked embarrassed. "Master, Xiaohan is a little arrogant, but she wouldn't kill anyone. Besides, so many people died in this city. It can't be that Xiaohan killed them all. Master, did you get the wrong person?" Aunt Wang still wanted to save Zhang Xiaohan, but she was not sure whether Zhang Xiaohan was really innocent.

"Are you doubting my judgment?" Huang Shaohua rarely showed the aura of a county lord. He was always very kind and amiable on weekdays, so much so that many people subconsciously ignored the fact that Huang Shaohua was actually the lord of a county.

“This, this, this, I dare not, dare not…” Aunt Wang shrank back, in the end she did not dare to really offend Huang Shaohua.

"Then hand over Zhang Xiaohan, or I will arrest you as well." Huang Shaohua gave Wang Ma an ultimatum.

Mother Wang stopped trying to stop them and let Huang Shaohua and his men take Zhang Xiaohan away.

However, when Zhang Xiaohan saw Huang Shaohua coming, his expression did not show any panic. Instead, he looked calm, as if he had expected all this.

After Huang Shaohua captured Zhang Xiaohan, he immediately sent her to Li Siqi's residence.

Seeing the person being brought in, Li Siqi expressed great confidence in Huang Shaohua's ability to act.
