Hearing Yi Qing say this, Lord Ghost immediately launched an attack. Lin Mo blocked Lord Ghost's attack and began to attack like a madman.
Yi Qing watched as the honey bats died one by one. Those ordinary bats squeaked and flew away.
"Xiao Jinghan, come and help!" Lord Ghost found the opponent a bit difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he was fast enough, or the opponent would have hammered him to pieces.
"You should practice more." Xiao Jinghan had to protect Yi Qing, worrying that she might be scared.
Without the interference of the bats, even though Lin Mo had transformed, he was no match for Lord Ghost. But it was also impossible for Lord Ghost to defeat Lin Mo in a short time.
After about a stick of incense time, just as Xiao Jinghan was about to step in, Lin Mo directly collapsed on the ground, gasping weakly.
Lord Ghost walked over and pointed his sword at Lin Mo. Lin Mo didn't move.
It seemed that the medicine had a time limit and severe side - effects.
"Wait a minute." Yi Qing saw Lord Ghost about to kill Lin Mo. "It's too easy on him to just kill him."
"What do you want?" Lin Mo laughed weakly. "How can you give me a quick death?"
"When did you first meet Ping Xinian?" Yi Qing asked directly.
"A few years ago. She went to the Southern Border. I was backfired by the Gu worms and was saved by her." Lin Mo had nothing to hide. "After that, she introduced me to Xiang Beizheng. On the surface, I cooperated with Xiang Beizheng, but actually I was helping her keep an eye on him."
"Did you give Ping Xinian Gu poison?" Yi Qing remembered that Wu Min used Gu poison against Lord Ghost. Although the Gu poison was given by Wu Peng, Ping Xinian couldn't have used it only once.
"Yes. I gave her so much that I can't remember how much." Lin Mo said with a smile. "This woman is the most poisonous Gu poison of all."
"You're no different." Yi Qing thought of what Lin Mo had done.
"Hehe." Lin Mo laughed. "She poisoned her own family and controlled the Ping family. Once she and I die, if the Gu worms in their bodies aren't fed continuously, many people in the Ping family will die."
Yi Qing was surprised. She was still too young. She thought Ping Xinian only knew some secrets of the Ping family and blackmailed them, but she didn't expect that it was the Gu poison that controlled the family.
"So Ping Xinian informed you first when she wanted to change her face?" Yi Qing thought there was a connection but couldn't figure out the sequence.
"Yes. But she was worried that I would use Gu on her, so she insisted on changing her face and only used the Heavenly Marrow Liquid to recover."
"Did she know what the Heavenly Marrow Liquid was from the beginning?"
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have thought of the method of refining the Heavenly Marrow with human blood."
Yi Qing glanced at the body covered by the bed curtain. She also thought that the most poisonous thing was a woman's heart. "Then why did you kill her?"
"I refined the human Gu for our Lin family. She still wanted to control me. There was no way." Lin Mo was an evil witch with principles.
"Are there many spies of the Ping family in the capital helping you?"
"Yes."
"Why did she attack the emperor and Yunyang Academy?"
"To divert your attention."
"Why did you choose children under two years old before?"
"She said that children under two years old were the purest."
"Why did you kill those beggars later?"
"I met Min'er. I needed a large amount of Heavenly Marrow Liquid and couldn't let you find out. Who knew you still discovered it."
Now everything made sense. Personal desires could really disregard the lives of the people in the world.
"Is there any way to save Wu Min?" Yi Qing asked this question last because she was very worried.
Lin Mo laughed. "Now that the mother Gu of the honey bats is dead, there's no way to save her."
Yi Qing stared at Lin Mo. "She's the last person in your Lin family."
Lin Mo thought for a long time, as if he didn't understand what Yi Qing was asking. "Rather than living like an ant, why be afraid of death?"
"Lock him up." Yi Qing ordered.
"Not kill him?" Lord Ghost was surprised.
On the ground, Lin Mo finally gained a little strength and directly rammed into the long sword that Lord Ghost was pointing at him.
"He made the first move." Lord Ghost looked at Lin Mo twitching on the ground.
Yi Qing saw that Lin Mo was seeking death. She originally wanted to keep Lin Mo to ask about the method of refining the honey bats. Maybe she could find a way to save Wu Min. Now she could only study it by herself slowly.
"Clean this place up." Xiao Jinghan ordered.
"Ping Xinian's body should be burned." Yi Qing remembered that Wu Min's body was highly poisonous. She didn't know if Ping Xinian was also poisonous.
"I still need it." Xiao Jinghan stopped her.
"Why?" Yi Qing looked at Xiao Jinghan in surprise.
"There are still so many people gathered at the door. Lu Tianxun is still being impeached because of this incident. These two bodies need to be used to explain."
Yi Qing suddenly understood. "Then you go."
This incident had lasted for so long, and finally there was a result. The most important thing was that Ping Xinian was finally dead this time.
Once Ping Xinian died, the Ping family was probably not far from collapse.
"Wait for me." Lord Ghost followed behind Yi Qing.
"What are you doing?" Yi Qing looked at Lord Ghost. "I said last time that I would introduce you to a business genius. Don't you want to meet?"
"Now the Ping family is going to collapse without you doing anything. What else do you want to do?"
"The Ping family is so big and is about to collapse. Don't you want a share of the pie?" Lord Ghost said slyly.
Yi Qing thought it made sense. If the Ping family fell, there would be so many business routes, shops, and open markets. She had worked so hard for so long and couldn't let others take advantage.
"Tomorrow. Notify me when you've decided on the place." Yi Qing was a bit tired today.
"Okay. I'll come to you tomorrow."
Xiao Jinghan took the two bodies to the Ministry of Justice. This case was finally solved.
"Should we announce Ping Xinian's identity?" Xu Maozhi asked uncertainly.
Xiao Jinghan also realized that Ping Xinian's identity was a bit special. "Go and ask for instructions."
"Okay." Xu Maozhi was becoming better and better at being an official.
The spies of the Ping family must be cleaned up. This matter was handed over to the Jinyiwei.
On Yi Qing's side, she also told the storytellers the result. A group of storytellers finally breathed a sigh of relief. They really couldn't make up any more stories.
"Madam, Mr. Tao requests an audience." Ruo Hong came over and bowed.
"Who?" Yi Qing thought she didn't know this person.
"He's one of those storytellers."
"Oh." No wonder she didn't know. "What does he want?"
"He said he has something to discuss with Madam."
Yi Qing nodded. "Let him in."
This storyteller, Mr. Tao, was called Tao Sanwen. He was a bit famous in the capital. People had to pay three copper coins to listen to his stories, so he got this name.
"Greetings to Madam Xiao." Tao Sanwen came in and bowed.
"Everyone else has left. Why haven't you?" Yi Qing saw Tao Sanwen carrying a bag.
"This is the silver I earned in the past few days." Tao Sanwen put it on the ground.
"I said before that this silver is yours."
"I, a commoner, would like to cooperate with Madam Xiao to open a storytelling hall." Tao Sanwen said directly.
Yi Qing didn't expect that this was a storyteller with ideas. "You also know why I invited you here. Do you think I would cooperate with people like you?"
