After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 232 Jumping to the Great God

Shen Zhiyi's words piqued Zhang Sheren's curiosity.

What's up?

It'll definitely be fun.

the other side.

Chen Decai asked the old emperor.

"Your Majesty, do you need Shen Lang's side?"

The old emperor waved his hand: "Let them finish their shifts early, and then you follow Shen Zhiyi and see where she goes."

The curfew has been lifted in parts of Daye County, including Cai County.

Curfews can bring a lot of economic benefits, and many places are willing to open them, except for some places with really bad public security, where opening them is useless and requires approval from higher authorities.

After finishing her shift, Shen Zhiyi changed her clothes and headed straight for the location she had seen on the surveillance footage.

This is outrageous! Are all the people in Yunzhou this superstitious and feudal?

"What does Shen Lang mean by this? How did it come to feudal superstition?"

An Qi could not hide his excitement.

Chen Decai looked at An Qi climbing the tree, his heart pounding in his chest.

Zhang Sheren whispered, "Hurry up, Shen Lang is turning ahead."

The three of them quickly followed.

Because of Dark Seven, there's absolutely no need to worry about losing track of them.

The group followed the trail until they arrived at the county government office in Cai County.

There were yamen runners here, so Shen Zhiyi couldn't get in.

[Aaaaaah, I can't get in! I can't get in!]

Shen Zhiyi was furious.

[I can't see the live version. I'm standing right here, but I have to watch the live feed. What's the difference between this and being at the concert but only being able to watch the live stream? Wait, at least I can hear the sounds if I'm standing outside the concert venue.]

Shen Zhiyi, who was furious outside the county government office, had no idea that the local officials inside were terrified.

The Prefect of Yunzhou looked at the master before him and stammered, "Master, that voice has appeared again!"

What sound is that?

The governor of Yunzhou's pupils constricted slightly.

"Here it comes, here it comes, the ghost is here."

He said with a mixture of fear and anxiety, "Now that distinguished guests have arrived in Yunzhou, you must deal with the vengeful ghost that appeared in Cai County today. If you disturb the distinguished guests, the Taoist priest and your temple will not escape punishment..."

Instead of speaking directly, the governor of Yunzhou stretched out his right hand and slashed at his neck.

This terrified the Taoist priest.

"Rest assured, Governor, this old Taoist priest will never make a mistake."

[Hiss, is there something fishy going on in Cai County? Or is there a big ghost in Yunzhou?]

If it weren't for his status and the fact that he had a group of servants, the first-class local official of Yunzhou would have wanted to hug each other.

But the magistrate of Cai County couldn't help himself; he hugged the pillar and looked at the county clerk next to him.

"That ghost, that ghost is here again."

The county magistrate of Cai County was completely baffled.

I don't know why, after they went to pick up the Emperor and his entourage, one or two of them seemed to be possessed. They all said that Cai County had been haunted by ghosts and that they had to quickly invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits.

What's that sound?

He asked about other clerks and such, but he didn't hear anything.

The three people following Shen Zhiyi outside looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Sheren said, "I think I've figured it out."

Chen Decai was very anxious: "What should we do? Those people are treating Shen Lang's true feelings as ghosts."

Zhang Sheren frowned.

"We must tell His Majesty about this as soon as possible. If Shen Lang finds out that the voice was talking about her, she will definitely start to realize that something is wrong."

"I'll go."

After An Qi finished speaking, he quickly disappeared.

Upon hearing the news, the old emperor, who was waiting for it, was wide awake.

"Hurry up, hurry up, this is ridiculous!"

The rest of the people who learned of this news.

Holy crap, who can sleep like this?

If Shen Zhiyi finds out, then there won't be any more fun to hear.

The group arrived at the county government office of Cai County at almost the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Shen Zhiyi, who was standing not far away and watching the Taoist priest perform the ritual, was completely unaware of what was happening. By the time she noticed, the group of people had already gone inside.

Upon entering the county government office, the first thing you smell is the aroma of incense.

The scene before me was chaotic and rambling.

The old emperor was utterly speechless.

"What are you doing?"

The old emperor and his men are here? I'd better hide well and not get discovered.

The governor of Yunzhou trembled violently.

That voice actually dared to call His Majesty "Old Emperor"!

That's incredibly audacious.

We have to accept it.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, this humble subject will definitely have the Taoist priest subdue this ghost!"

"What the hell? I think you've got bubbles in your head."

The old emperor was speechless and pointed at the Taoist priest.

"Call them away. What's with all this talk of ghosts and spirits? What, are you hiding something?"

No, no.

[Haha, so the old emperor doesn't like shamanistic rituals. Indeed, it seems that ten years ago, a concubine started some kind of shamanistic ritual in the palace, making the harem a chaotic mess. Ever since then, the old emperor has really disliked these things.]

The governor of Yunzhou swallowed hard.

He glanced nervously at the old emperor, whose smile was ambiguous and whose lips were tightly pursed, clearly indicating his displeasure.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I will make them all get out immediately."

The governor of Yunzhou didn't know what had happened, but he was certain of one thing: the old emperor and his entourage knew about that voice!

Oh no, what has he done?

The governor of Yunzhou quickly dismissed everyone and cleaned up the scene in a very short time.

Then... the governor of Yunzhou began to apologize to the old emperor.

The other local officials also knew that this time they had not made a good impression on the old emperor, but instead had made a bad one.

Looking at the pile of heads kneeling on the ground, the old emperor frowned in annoyance.

"Alright, alright, stop doing this kind of shamanistic stuff. This is the county government office, don't make it so messy."

"We know we were wrong."

[However, to be fair, this Prefect of Yunzhou does seem to have something on his mind. Perhaps he thinks he's being haunted by a ghost? Well, he has so many lives on his hands.]

The old emperor, who had originally planned to go back and get a good night's sleep, decided not to continue his journey the next day.

He turned back again, his eyes sharp as he looked at the Prefect of Yunzhou.

"Governor, is there something you need to tell me?"

The governor of Yunzhou was shaking uncontrollably.

But his weak legs didn't stop him from being stubborn.

"Your Majesty, no."

Good heavens, I haven't seen such a sexist person in ages! This governor of Yunzhou is a beast!!!

Shen Zhiyi roared outside the county government office, but she learned her lesson and found a stall to sit down and started eating wontons.

The governor of Yunzhou had one principal wife and six concubines in his household. Whenever any of these seven women gave birth to a daughter, they would have her drowned in the family pond; if a son was born, they would hold a grand banquet, as if they wanted to announce it to the whole world.

"Damn it!"

Shen Zhiyi took a big bite of the juicy wonton, as if she had bitten into a piece of the governor of Yunzhou.

[Ha, this bastard even puts on a facade of being a prolific father of sons, damn it.]
