But there was a problem with the grain that was distributed recently.

The granary that stored the grain leaked at some point, and all the grain became moldy.

Although the grain was moldy, the village chief still ordered people to distribute it.

After all, people couldn’t eat it, but livestock could.

That was where the problem was. After the villagers fed the moldy grain to their livestock, all of their livestock died.

Was it because of the mold?

No, it was because all the grain was poisoned.

If the grain was not moldy, then it would have been the entire village eating it.

Who was so vicious to want to kill an entire village?

The village chief thought that either there was a mole in the village or an outsider with evil intentions.

However, on the night when all the livestock died, a person was poisoned to death in the village.

It was an old bachelor who lived on the side of the village. He had some mental issues and ate the poisoned grain. He was poisoned to death.

The village chief quickly held a meeting to remind the villagers to pay attention to what they were eating. It was best not to eat any newly obtained food.

He did not dare to say that there was a problem with the grain he had distributed. If the villagers made a scene, then the problem would be uncontrollable.

He thought that there would be no more accidents, but an old man in the village died the following night.

When the villagers discovered him, he had fallen headfirst into the latrine pit. He had a terrified expression on his face, and his eyes were wide open. It was as if he was scared to death.

That was not the end. On the third night, someone’s wife was beaten to death.

Although the official word was that she fell to her death, the village chief carefully examined the corpse and found fractures all over her body. She was beaten to death.

At the same time, there were rumors in the village of a female ghost dressed in white wandering around the village at night.

Everyone said that the female ghost came to take revenge, and now Zhao family village was in trouble.

On the fourth night, after an old man was almost strangled to death, the village chief caught Yun Qin who was behaving strangely by the well.

The village chief felt that he was close to uncovering the truth.

However, Yun Qin’s reaction showed that someone else was behind everything.

After checking all the contents in the village chief’s mind, Yun Qin fell into deep thought.

It was easy to explain what happened to the ghost. Zhou Lan’s ghost was probably not strong enough to seek revenge. So when she attempted to do so, she was devoured by the plaque hanging on the village chief’s chest.

The corpse did not rot was probably because the well could retain evil energy.

But who was the one who poisoned the food?

Yun Qin suddenly looked at the village chief. Then, she pulled a milky-white plaque off his neck.

There was an array formation carved on the plaque. When Yun Qin held it, a dark light surged out from it.

It was indeed a powerful item. The village chief relied on it to dodge Zhou Lan’s and Yun Qin’s attacks.

Unfortunately, it could only dodge attacks that used evil energy. If it encountered mana, it would be unable to dodge it, since the plaque drew its power from mana as well. That was why the village chief fell for Yun Qin’s trap.

Touching the white material, Yun Qin suddenly realized that it was a bone.

“Where did you get this?”

The village chief looked at her fearfully and replied, “I asked someone to make it...”

“How?”

The village chief did not answer and started trembling again.

Yun Qin understood. To make something like this would cost another life. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

“Alright, in that case...”

Yun Qin stood up and let out a long sigh of relief. Her gaze was very complicated as she stared at the person on the ground.

Then, the greedy ghost emerged onto her shoulder. With its long tongue hanging out, the greedy ghost looked at the village chief with interest.

The village chief was frightened by this scene and took a few steps back to the corner of the wall. Then, he said in a trembling voice, “Ghost, you are a ghost. Who are you?”

Yun Qin ignored him. She waved her hand, and the greedy ghost laid on the village chief’s back.

After a brief struggle, the village chief could no longer resist. Then, Yun Qin untied the ropes that bound him, and the village chief stood up shakily.

Although the village chief’s eyes were filled with fear and disbelief, he still said timidly, “Master, where are we going?”

It was strange to suddenly hear the greedy ghost speak.

Yun Qin glanced at him and said, “If you don’t have any urgent matters, don’t speak using this old man’s mouth.”

Hearing the village chief’s voice, Yun Qin felt disgusted.

The greedy ghost let out an “Oh” with some grievance and then controlled the village chief to wait for Yun Qin’s instructions.

Yun Qin looked at her watch. She had three hours before daybreak. She had to take advantage of this time to settle everything.

Otherwise, when daybreak came and the village chief was no longer under control, there would be a lot of trouble.

Following her memory, Yun Qin used the dim moonlight to walk to the vicinity of the well.

This time, she did not go to the well. She wanted to find the house that Zhou Lan once lived in.

After walking around several times, Yun Qin finally found a broken house that looked like it was renovated many times.
