Chapter 67 Root Cause
Jiang Yu and his companions walked forward. The people around them looked up at them sadly and tacitly made way for them.
Chu Qingyue looked a little tired, holding a pen in one hand and an account book in the other, and trying hard to muster up her energy to talk to the people in front of her. There were also a few people who looked like accountants sitting in the room, who were holding paper and pen like her and talking softly to the people in front of them. Jiang Yu listened and realized that they were asking about the people's family situations.
Qin Yin was right beside her. Her face was still a little pale, and there was not much blood on her lips. She looked up at Jiang Yu and gave her a gentle smile.
Jiang Yu smiled slightly, nodded at her, and walked all the way to Song Hui.
Song Hui and Song Lian, these two people, although they said they were here to help, in fact they couldn't do much. One knew nothing about such aftermath matters, and the other, given his status, it was not easy for him to interfere too much in Lingdu's internal affairs.
Jiang Yu looked at the two of them and was about to call for help when Chu Qingyue suddenly stood up, causing the word "father" to be stuck in her throat.
Chu Qingyue had just finished registering the information of a citizen. She handed the pen and account book in her hand to Qin Yin, walked towards them, and stopped in front of Jiang Yu: "This matter——"
She bowed and said, "Thank you very much, fellow Taoists."
As she bowed, the people in the room looked over and wiped the tears from their faces. Men and women, young and old, all followed Chu Qingyue and bowed to them.
"Thank you, Immortal."
"Thank you, little immortals."
"Thank you, brothers and sisters."
"."
There were constant voices of thanks.
Jiang Yu hurried forward, supporting Chu Qingyue who was about to bow down, and turned to look at the people. Yuan Heng and Sang Yang had already gone to help someone, but as soon as they helped one up, another bowed down again, leaving them at a loss. They subconsciously looked to the two elders in the sect for help, but Song Hui and Song Lian seemed to be indifferent and slowly and firmly avoided their gazes.
Someone was helped up by Wei Xu, and wiped the tears from his face with the corner of his sleeve. Although he was still in pain of losing his loved ones, he still forced himself to give Wei Xu a kind smile.
Wei Xu turned his face away awkwardly.
"Thank you, Immortals." Jiang Yu heard him say this to Wei Xu, crying, "If it weren't for the Immortals, my young son would probably not be able to return home."
Jiang Yu's throat choked slightly, and he couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment.
"He originally had two sons." Chu Qingyue, who was supported by Jiang Yu, noticed her gaze and followed her attention to the man. After recognizing him, he whispered in her ear, "The two children disappeared together. The eldest son was tortured and killed in front of the youngest son. The older one didn't come back, but the younger one did. However, because of the shock, he locked himself in the room all day long, refusing to eat or drink, and refusing to see anyone. I don't know when he will recover."
Jiang Yu tilted his head to look at her. She held back her tears and sniffed. He still smiled at her and lowered his head to wipe away his tears: "All of this is due to me. If I hadn't recognized his true face and let the wolf into the house, I wouldn't be in this situation now-"
"No." Jiang Yu interrupted her, "The most unpredictable thing in the world is the human heart. You are not wrong. The ones who are wrong are Wen Ren Huai and the evil demon."
Chu Qingyue was slightly stunned, then lowered her head and smiled: "I just feel a little regretful"
It was a pity that she had slept in the same bed with this man for so many years and had so many opportunities to discover his secret, but why didn't she find out? It was a pity that when she and her uncle met Wen Ren Huai in the teahouse, she had a moment's thought and hurt so many people.
"Even if there are so many regrets." Jiang Yu comforted her, "The root cause is also Wen Ren Huai. Without him, there wouldn't be so many regrets. You don't have to blame yourself for the mistakes he made."
Besides, to be fair, Wen Ren Huai has been the city lord for so many years, and he believes in the evil in his heart, but on the surface he does good things for the people. Let alone Chu Qingyue, if he hadn't been able to conceal the blood sacrifice, how many people in the world could have discovered that he was on the evil side in a short time? She had originally believed that he could not possibly be in cahoots with the evil.
