Su Quanchuan, seeing Zhang Qi's expression, how could he not understand what he was thinking?
"Lord Zhang, things have already come to this point, it's too late for regrets."
"It's better to think about how to handle this matter properly."
"Otherwise, not only will this official be punished, but even Lord Zhang, you will not escape this calamity."
Su Quanchuan then looked at the chief constable of the county office and said quickly: "Lao Feng, go and notify some people for this official immediately, and say that this official has important matters to discuss!"
Su Quanchuan planned to notify and gather the remaining county officials, and then unify their statements to cover up this mistake.
"Humph, Lord Su, if the Xuan Envoy(玄使: mysterious envoy) blames us, this official will definitely tell the truth."
Zhang Qi was too lazy to pretend with Su Quanchuan, it was clearly his negligence and indulgence of those rumors that led to this situation today.
Su Quanchuan saw Zhang Qi flinging his sleeves and leaving, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, and then loosened.
This Zhang Qi, relying on his noble family background, looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
Humph!
Once I break through to the Blood Refining Realm, I will definitely make him suffer!
That ghostly thing's strength has greatly increased, it's just a matter of a few more commoners dying.
If it can allow this official to break through to the Blood Refining Realm, then these commoners can be considered to have died for a worthy cause.
Inside the inn, Lu Xuan did not leave his room, staying inside all the time.
It wasn't until the innkeeper brought wine and food in the middle of the way.
"Esteemed guest, you still haven't planned to leave Lanshan County yet?"
"You don't know, early this morning, I saw a large group of people lining up to leave the county."
"Alas, I don't know when these days of anxiety and fear will end."
The innkeeper's words caused a ripple in Lu Xuan's calm heart.
"Innkeeper, listening to you, have the people in the county all seen that dirty thing?"
"Didn't the people from the county office come forward to deal with that dirty thing?"
"This young master, look at what you're saying, if we had seen that dirty thing, wouldn't we have been scared to death long ago?"
"I just heard it from others!"
"As for the people from the county office."
"Early this morning, they were posting notices all over the city, stating that the Ren family died from poison."
"Look, is that a reason anyone can believe?"
........
The innkeeper's reply caused Lu Xuan to remain silent for a moment.
After the innkeeper left, Lu Xuan thought to himself.
If the Bloodthirsty Corpse Demon doesn't show up again after tonight.
Lu Xuan is prepared to personally go to the county office, he wants to see just how incompetent the officials of this county office are.
They turned a blind eye when the Bloodthirsty Corpse Demon first appeared, allowing rumors to spread wantonly.
Now that the entire city is in a panic, they are thinking of making amends.
"Damn old fellow, I will absolutely not let you ruin my future."
At the Zhang residence, Zhang Qi, after returning to his residence, still felt extremely angry.
The thought of Su Quanchuan, that old fellow, still thinking of dragging him down, made him feel very dissatisfied.
That old fox Su Quanchuan must be hiding something from him.
Otherwise, how could this old fox make such a low-level mistake?
"No, when the Xuan Envoy questions us, I will bite that old fellow to death, I will never help him share the blame!"
And Zhang Qi, who was furious in the room, did not notice the rapid passage of time.
Outside the room, the sun hanging in the sky gradually disappeared, replaced by the bright moon.
"Is it dark?"
It wasn't until the room was plunged into darkness that Zhang Qi realized it, and quickly got up and walked to the door.
Zhang Qi gently opened the door with both hands, while loudly speaking towards the outside.
"Someone!"
"Light the lanterns!"
Two red lanterns were already hanging outside the door, and two servants were standing under the lanterns that emitted bright light.
When the two of them heard Zhang Qi's words, they quickly walked towards the door of the room.
"Yes, Master!"
Zhang Qi stood with his hands behind his back, putting on an extremely imposing expression in front of them.
The two servants looked a little timid as they passed by Zhang Qi.
After the two servants entered the room, one of them took out a fire starter, wanting to light the candle.
Under the weak light of the flickering flame, which could extinguish at any time.
A twisted and deformed, ugly and terrifying blue face slowly emerged, carrying a strange and evil aura.
On this blue face, there were dense, visible purple-blue blood vessels, like a spider web crisscrossing.
A pair of completely white and protruding pupils revealed a suffocatingly desperate and evil light.
And the blood basin mouth, lined with countless sharp fangs, also occasionally spit out strange wisps of green smoke.
The servant holding the flame starter, seeing the twisted face at close range, was so frightened that he was out of his wits and couldn't say a word.
"Hey, what are you doing, hurry up and light the candle, don't keep the master waiting."
The other servant just happened not to be looking ahead.
However, he noticed that the candle hadn't been lit yet, and felt a little strange.
After he turned his head to look at the place where the candle was placed, the next second, his eyes widened, and he looked at that strange face in disbelief.
"Ghost!"
This servant did not remain silent, but roared out with all his might.
This terrified and deafening voice startled Zhang Qi, who was standing with his hands behind his back.
The imposing manner that Zhang Qi had just put on instantly disappeared, and he quickly turned to look inside the room.
This look showed Zhang Qi an unforgettable scene.
Under the illumination of the flickering flame, there was a mysterious figure in the front half of the air, especially that terrifying face that bloomed with an eerie blue light.
After Zhang Qi saw its face, an idea instantly emerged in his mind.
"This... is... that dirty thing!"
"Master, save me!"
The two servants, just like that, turned into a dried-up corpse in front of Zhang Qi's eyes, and then fell straight to the ground.
Still save me!
Who will save me!
Zhang Qi's eyes were wide open, his whole body was tense, his legs were trembling, as if he wanted to move, but couldn't.
A cold chill came from inside the room, so cold that the blood in Zhang Qi's whole body seemed to stagnate.
"Save...."
I can't die!
I don't want to die yet!
Su Quanchuan, that damn old fellow, I, Zhang Qi, have been killed by you.
I will never let you go even as a ghost.
In Zhang Qi's pupils, the extremely terrifying blue face was reflected, slowly approaching him.
At this time, Zhang Qi, in just a few breaths, seemed to have completed his life, recalling every past event in a fleeting manner.
Especially that old fellow Su Quanchuan!
The next moment, a festering black-blue strange arm, with long nails on it, reflecting a strange luster.
In an instant, those sharp nails had already pierced into Zhang Qi's body, piercing through Zhang Qi's abdomen.
