Chapter 40

The night is as cool as water, and the stars and moon are lit.

Mu Tong's house was silent under the night sky, and Mu Tong, who had worked hard all night in the day, had already fallen asleep at this time.

Especially when he heard the butler return and reported to him that the poisonous wine had been drunk. After watching Wen Su and others drink it with his own eyes, he felt that a stone fell to the ground and could sleep peacefully.

In his sleep, Mu Tong vaguely heard a strange cry, waking him out of the dream.

Mu Tong opened his eyes in a daze and listened carefully. It was a sound coming from the courtyard.

When I first heard it was like the sound of the wind, but when I heard it was like the whistling of the night birds, I felt a cold and strange feeling, like a ghost.

Mu Tong sat up in panic, but saw several black shadows flying past the window through the bedroom door, and the strange sound was the black shadows.

Mu Tong was frightened by this strange scene and hurriedly turned around and wanted to light the light, but couldn't find it. He could only shout anxiously: "Come, come, come!"

He shouted several times, but no one responded, and no servants came. Instead, the sound of ghosts outside became even stronger.

Suddenly, the sliding door of the room was shattered and a man wearing a white shirt and disheveled hair flew into the room.

The man landed several steps in front of Mu Tong.

Because of the darkness in the house, the man stood with his back on the door. Mu Tong could only barely see his face as fierce, with black blood flowing out of his seven orifices, which seemed extremely terrifying.

"You, who are you, what are you doing?" Mu Tong was so scared that she trembled all over, her voice trembled, and she questioned the other party.

"Boss Mu, you have killed all the brothers in our village. I, Wen Su, are here to ask you for your life!"

The "Ghost" made a strange sound and roared at Mu Tong.

"Wen, Master Wen, it's not my business. I didn't harm you. Don't find the wrong person!" Mu Tong waved his hands in fear and explained.

"You dare to argue, it is the poisonous wine you sent to the housekeeper that killed us!"

The "Ghost" didn't believe Mu Tong's defense at all. Seeing him stretching out his sharp claws, he was about to pounce forward at him.

"It's really nothing to do with me. Master Wen, it was done by the butler on his own initiative."

"I will punish him immediately, vent my anger on you and your brothers, and then find someone to do something for you. Please, let me go!" Mu Tong retreated in confusion and begged repeatedly.

After hearing Mu Tong's words, the evil ghost stopped his hand, stopped rushing forward, and stared at Mu Tong coldly.

Seeing that the "aggressive ghost" stopped rushing towards him, Mu Tong felt a little more at ease.

He kept saying, "Master Wenzhai, please rest assured. I guarantee that the rituals will be done successfully and that I will definitely burn a lot of money for you to ensure that you enjoy wealth and prosperity in the underworld...

Before Mu Tong could finish his words, several black shadows continued to hover outside the house, and two more flew into the house.

One of them was dressed as a servant, the other was dressed as a blacksmith, with scars and blood covered with...

The "aggressive ghost" dressed in a blacksmith roared: "Do you only save them, not us?"

The evil ghost dressed in the servant also roared: "Give us back our lives!"

"Who are you? Why do you want to find me to save me?!" Mu Tong looked at the two "aggressive ghosts" gradually approaching in front of him and asked in panic.

"I am a servant from the Han Mansion, he is a servant from the farm tool shop. If you hadn't bought the murderer with a lot of money, how could we die tragically?! Who else should we look for if we don't look for you?!" "The servant evil spirit" roared angrily.

"You said, are you harming us? Should you be the one who will give us some salvation?"

"If you don't say it, I'll take your life now!" The blacksmith roared and rushed towards Mu Tong.

Mu Tong looked at the tall and strong body of the other party, and was so scared that she lay on the ground, responding repeatedly: "Yes, it's me, it's me, it's me, it's me, I'll be reliance, I'll arrange for you to reliance and burn money, please let me go!"

When several evil spirits heard Mu Tong's response, they stopped and then suddenly burst into laughter. This time the laughter was no longer weird and became no different from ordinary people.

When Mu Tong heard the laughter of several people, he also felt the change. He raised his head with guilt and observed carefully.

"I don't know whether they can let you go! But I can tell you with certainty that the law of the great man will never tolerate evildoers like you who buy murderers!" A roar came from outside the house.

Several torches lit up outside the house, and the county magistrate Li Zhu walked into the house accompanied by the county magistrate Feng Zhong and several yamen runners.

There was another person who followed them into the house. There was a smile of victory on the corner of his mouth, so he was naturally Han Tao.

When Mu Tong saw Han Tao, Li Zhu and others, she realized that she had been deceived and hurriedly turned to look at the three "aggressive ghosts" next to her.

At this time, the three evil spirits pulled away the messy hair from their heads and wiped away the blood on their faces, but they turned out to be pretending to be humans.

Han Tao glared at Mu Tong in front of him, sighing that his plan had indeed worked. The evil thief personally admitted his crime!

In the bandits' village in Taihang Mountains, Han Tao thought for a long time, and stories of countless classic unsolved cases in history popped up in his mind. He finally chose a way to pretend to be a ghost and confess.

After all, in the Han Dynasty, the technological level was quite backward, and people at that time were relatively feudal and believed in the theory of ghosts and gods.

This is actually one of the main reasons why Zhang Jiao’s Taiping Road can spread rapidly, which is that it takes advantage of the simple characteristics of the vast number of Guizhou-based thoughts and starts from faith, and wins great trust.

After making a plan, Han Tao began to consider the candidate. He originally wanted to arrange for Wen Su to deceive Mu Tong himself, but he was afraid that Mu Tong would do something real and kill Mu Tong, losing evidence, and at the same time he was afraid that he would reveal his identity.

In the end, he chose the three more shrewd followers around Rabazi, and asked them to pretend to be Wen Su, blacksmith and servants respectively.

Their official language that is not fluent in themselves sounds even more weird and easily increases the sense of horror.

Han Tao took Labazi and others to return to Shanyang County quietly, and immediately went to find Li Zhu and Feng Zhong, and told him the clues he had.

Li Zhu indeed raised doubts about Han Tao's testimony. Han Tao asked them to cooperate with him and would definitely let them hear Mu Tong's confession with his own ears.

Li Zhu and Feng Zhong finally accepted it and secretly followed Han Tao and others to Mu Tong's residence.

Labazi's entourage had practiced martial arts and sneaked into Mu Tong's mansion.

They quietly controlled all the servants of the Mu family and took them all away from the Mu Mansion. This is why no one responded when Mu Tong called.

Then, Han Tao took out various techniques he had when filming and used thin lines to create the effect of "wia" in the air.

The Rabazi entourage who had arranged in advance was hung in the air and flew away. He also made several bamboo whistles with bamboos to blow them up, making the sound of ghost crying, creating a full atmosphere.

Finally, three "aggressive ghosts" were allowed to enter and scare Mu Tong in person, which really scared him and admitted all his crimes in person.

All of this was heard and seen by Li Zhu and Feng Zhong who were watching in secret, so they appeared...

At this time, Mu Tong looked at Li Zhu, Han Tao and others in front of him, and knew that the situation was hopeless, so he collapsed on the ground.

Li Zhu ordered: "Come, take this evil thief down and put him in jail and deal with it after being tried!"

Han Tao stepped forward: "Sir, please wait. Caomin has a few words. I want to ask Mu Tong in person. Please forgive me."

Li Zhu nodded: "What do you want to ask, ask."

Han Tao stepped forward, walked to Mu Tong, and looked at him calmly: "Brother, Han Tao asked himself that he did not blame you. I really don't know where your hatred for me comes from?"

Mu Tong seemed to know that concealing was meaningless, and looked at Han Tao with a wry smile: "Your intelligence is far better than Han Chong, and you are even better than your father Han Gu. If you let you take charge of the Han family, will I have a foothold in Shanyang in the future?"

"If Brother Mu doesn't want to see me win, why should I help me? It's okay to let me lose?!" Han Tao continued to ask.

"You and Han Chong are both geniuses. No matter whether you win or take over the Han family, it will be a big concern for me."

"That's why I deliberately expressed my support to you first and intervened in the fight between you and the two of you, which was actually a fuel to make you hate each other."

"You helped me that day, and you and I have reached an alliance. If I win, we can cooperate for a long time in the future. Why do you have murderous intentions?" Han Tao asked again.

"Only with the interests of merchants, there is no long-term alliance. With you, I will always suppress me. Only by letting you and Han Chong both suffer losses and completely defeat the Han family, can I enjoy Shanyang alone." Mu Tong responded coldly.

"So that's it, then I understand. You hire a killer to wash the farm tool shop and get rid of me first."

"You deliberately arranged for those bandits to live in Han Chong's home, leaving many clues and doubts."

"Once I am killed, you can secretly report Han Chong to the court anonymously. He can't explain clearly that he will definitely be sent to prison or even beheaded."

"Your plan to Shi Erniao is really clever and vicious!"

Hearing this, Han Tao had fully understood Mu Tong's all thoughts and plans and expressed all his inner thoughts.

"Not bad, but you escaped the killing disaster and used another strange move to defeat Han Chong and took power from the Han family."

"I know you will definitely not give up, and you will definitely investigate the murder of people."

"With your intelligence, it is naturally easy to find out that the real perpetrator is him." Mu Tong continued Han Tao's words.

"So, you made a quick decision and immediately arranged for the butler to go up the mountain with poisoned wine, and wanted to poison all Wen Su and his gang to eliminate future troubles. No one could tell the secret of you buying a murder."

"It's just that you are too careful, for fear of using highly toxic drugs to kill Wen Su directly. Once someone drinks alcohol in advance and gets poisoned, it will cause alertness and leave any future troubles."

"So you arranged for the housekeeper to use chronic poison like Thunder Teng, which gave me time to save people, and finally I found out that it was you, the real murderer behind the scenes."

Han Tao revealed Mu Tong's failure.
