Chapter 285:I Promise I Won’t Mess Around
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Early the next morning, at dawn, the hardworking small vendors arrived at the busiest long street to set up their morning stalls. They saw the corpses of four vagrants at the entrance of the busiest street.
The four vagrants died in a particularly painful manner. There were no external injuries on their bodies. All of them were curled up with terrified and ferocious expressions.
No one dared to touch the corpses. The commoners quickly reported it to the officials.
When Huo Junhan heard this news, he was eating breakfast in the courtyard. This news was naturally heard by Shen Yaowei, who was eating at the same table.
Still holding a meat bun in her hand, Shen Yaowei took a bite and analyzed seriously, “Junhan, these vagrants died so strangely. Could it be done by an evil spirit?”
Huo Junhan looked at Shen Yaowei and happened to see her excited expression. “No matter what this matter is about, it has nothing to do with you. Eat obediently.”
Shen Yaowei put down the bun in her hand. “Just bring me along to take a look. I promise 1 won’t cause trouble for you.”
Ever since there was a problem with the barrier in the capital, evil spirits had appeared one after another.
Although she knew that Huo Junhan was very powerful, she still couldn’t help but worry.
“No.” Huo Junhan’s tone was firm. He looked deeply at Shen Yaowei. “Eat breakfast obediently. If you’re really bored after eating, get the servants in the residence to play with you.”
With that, he stood up and left.
Shen Yaowei knew very well that Huo Junhan was a man of his word. At a time like this, if she chased after him disobediently, he would definitely be angry.
But if she didn’t chase after him to understand the situation, how could she catch the evil spirit?
Ever since she found out about Junhan’s background, she had been thinking of ways to help Junhan accumulate good karma.
And getting rid of the evil spirits that hurt people would undoubtedly quickly accumulate good karma.
Shen Yaowei was only depressed for a moment before she stood up with her fists clenched.
“If he doesn’t let me go, I can sneak over.” Anyway, it wasn’t like she hadn’t followed him secretly in the past.
When Shen Yaowei quietly rushed to the long street, she realized that it was already crowded. The onlookers automatically formed a circle and surrounded the place of the accident.
Worried that she would be exposed, Shen Yaowei didn’t dare to get too close to observe the corpse. She hid in the crowd for the time being and listened to the commoners discussing.
“Did you hear what the people from the Night Justice Bureau said just now?
These people were actually not killed, but frightened to death.”
“How could they not have heard? 1 was standing in front just now and watching the people from the Night Justice Bureau dissect the corpse. Those vagrants were so frightened that their guts shattered!”
“Ordinary murderers probably can’t do this. Could it be an evil spirit?”
“Huh? Why is it so scary? Evils have always been difficult to deal with. I’m afraid they’re going to continue killing!”
When Shen Yaowei heard this from the crowd, she could already roughly guess.
These vagrants were probably not only frightened out of their wits. They had died so miserably. Their souls should have been devoured by the evil spirits and they would never be able to reincarnate.
Shen Yaowei couldn’t help but sigh at the thought of these vagrants being killed innocently.
She tiptoed and glanced at Huo Junhan only to realize that he was looking at the corpse expressionlessly while listening to the person in the exclusive clothes of the Night Justice Bureau. She moved forward again.
She wanted to move forward so that she could better observe the corpse.
At this moment, a low-key carriage with the flag of the Imperial Preceptor’s residence quickly passed through the crowd and rushed over.
It was the Imperial Preceptor?!
