Chapter 1867: Interrogation of the Troublemakers
After a while, the crowd dispersed and the riot was stopped. Harijula looked at Grandma Zhang coldly and said, "You are really a parasite. Push her down and I will try her myself."
What happened again and again has made Harjula unable to bear it any longer.
Grandma Zhang was taken away. In the dim woodshed, Harijula sat in front of the door, while Chen Changli and Wan Shufang stayed beside her. The three of them looked at each other, and finally it was Harijula who started the interrogation.
"I'm asking you, where is the mayor, what's going on with the Goddess of Immortality, why did you arrest Wan Shufang, and what is the secret of the sacrificial ceremony?"
She asked a series of questions, but Grandma Zhang on the ground just lowered her head and said nothing, as if she wanted to fight them to the end in this way.
Seeing that Grandma Zhang remained silent, Harijula lost her patience and was about to have someone torture her, but was stopped by Wan Shufang, who shook her head at her.
She stepped forward and said earnestly, "Grandma Zhang, you are in our hands now. We can take your life at any time. There is no point in you keeping those secrets."
"Haha, unlike you villains, I am not afraid of death." Grandma Zhang stretched her neck, looking as if she was ready to die.
Wan Shufang was a little annoyed by her stubborn attitude. She turned sullen and was about to ask Hariju's men to take action when Grandma Zhang, who had been silent, suddenly fell to the ground, shaking uncontrollably, rolling her eyes and foaming at the mouth.
With just one glance, Wan Shufang could tell that she was ill. Harijula also came forward and she immediately took the medicine from the space.
"Give it to me." Harijula took the medicine and stuffed it into Grandma Zhang's mouth. After a moment, the person who was still trembling gradually calmed down.
Seeing that she had recovered, Harijula breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost thought that the old thing was going to die. Fortunately, she didn't die, otherwise who would we ask? But Wan Shufang, your medicine is really effective."
Harijula praised him generously. Hearing the teasing in her tone, Wan Shufang rolled her eyes at her. She did not argue with Harijula, but looked at Chen Changli: "We don't have enough time. Chen Changli, if she doesn't say it, then find a way to make her say it."
"it is good."
"I'll lend you the person." Harijula immediately cooperated and wanted to assign the person to Chen Changli. In Dayong, Chen Changli was an expert in interrogating people, and interrogating a grandmother Zhang was no problem at all.
He used force and tortured her until there was not a single piece of good flesh left on Grandma Zhang's body. She was covered in blood and even the hardest bones became soft. She finally gave in.
"I...I said..."
Chen Changli glanced at the other party's miserable condition, dropped the torture instruments, and walked back to Wan Shufang.
"Using Han girls for sacrifice was the order of the Goddess of Longevity. The people of Kali Town have been cursed, and only by using Han girls for sacrifice can the curse be lifted. We had no choice. She... is the most important person in the sacrifice."
Grandma Zhang pointed at Wan Shufang weakly and told her the whole story as if she was pouring out her grievances.
It turns out that ever since the appearance of the Goddess of Longevity in Kali Town, they have been cursed and can only survive by sacrificing Han girls.
This time, Wan Shufang was the candidate specifically chosen by the Goddess of Longevity. If she was not sacrificed, all the people in Kali Town would die.
"Harijula, you are our king, you should make decisions for us. Wan Shufang must die."
"Shut up."
Grandma Zhang spoke wildly, clamoring for Wan Shufang to be sacrificed, but the next second she was kicked hard by Chen Changli. She vomited blood and lay on the ground gasping for breath.
Seeing that Chen Changli was obviously angry, Harijula shrank his head and said, "You are really not afraid of death. You dare to let Wan Shufang sacrifice herself. Come on, Chen Changli, don't beat her to death."
Harijula stood between Chen Changli and Grandma Zhang and said sternly, "Let me ask you, who is the Immortal Goddess that she could curse all of you?"
Grandma Zhang turned her head away, her voice sounding a little muffled.
"The Immortal Goddess is extremely noble. Her identity is not something that people like us can know."
Seeing that she knew nothing, Harijula did not say anything, but looked at her carefully, trying to read guilt from her face, but there was only awe on Grandma Zhang's face, that was awe for the Goddess of Eternal Life.
Even though she didn't know his identity or appearance, she still felt inexplicably awe, which made Harjula very frustrated. She was the king after all, but she didn't even have a sense of existence for a fictitious thing.
"In other words, you don't know her identity at all? Then this matter will be difficult..." Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli and saw the solemnity in his eyes.
She winked at Harjula, who immediately understood.
"Come here, take care of this old thing for me. Don't let her run out of the woodshed before the matter is investigated thoroughly."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The secret guard received the order, and Wan Shufang and others left the woodshed. They locked the woodshed, blocking out Grandma Zhang's shouting and cursing. They ignored her and returned to the room to discuss countermeasures.
Wan Shufang's health had not yet recovered, so she finally decided to let Harijula take people to investigate and find the mayor.
Three days passed in a flash.
Wan Shufang has fully recovered, so she also joins the investigation. She wanders around the town, knocking on doors one by one, secretly gathering information, but the people of the entire town of Cali seem to have been brainwashed.
They were extremely respectful to the Goddess of Longevity and did not dare to harbor any disobedience towards her.
"The Goddess of Immortality is our God. It is because of her that Kali Town is what it is today. We will always support her and love her."
"Anyone who disrespects the Goddess of Immortality will be punished."
Looking at the door being closed again, Wan Shufang pursed her lips. This was the 100th person she had asked today, and without exception, they all gave the same answer.
"Who on earth is the Immortal Goddess to have such an influence on everyone..."
Wan Shufang was so puzzled that her head started to hurt. She rubbed her eyebrows and was about to go back to tell Chen Changli and Harijula the result.
The next second, she was interrupted by a cry. She stopped and looked at the source of the cry. In the corner, there was an old lady.
The old man was hunched over, holding a little girl in his arms. The little girl had fainted and was foaming at the mouth.
"Someone, help, someone, please save my granddaughter, help."
The old lady was extremely anxious and kept calling for help, looking around, hoping that a kind person would save her granddaughter.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang hurried forward, carefully examined the little girl, and then took out a pill from the space.
Just as she was about to feed the little girl, she saw the old lady's face full of vigilance. Wan Shufang handed the medicine to the old lady and comforted her softly: "Old lady, give her this and she will be fine."
The old lady took the pill tremblingly, and looking at her granddaughter's appearance, she gritted her teeth.
"Okay, okay, thank you, thank you."
After thanking Wan Shufang, the old man gave the medicine to the little girl.
