The Record of Righteousness

"Di Ou?!"

The three were shocked. They could never imagine that this fair and handsome man was the legendary Hundred-Faced Demon.

The notoriety of Di Ou had long been spread in the martial arts world. He wandered around the world, had no fixed place to live, and was extremely mysterious. He liked to peel off some people's skins and stick them on his own face. His disguise technique was so good that it was indistinguishable from the real thing.

It was said that this man had a fierce and ugly face, so he was named "Hundred-Faced Demon". He was powerful enough to stop a child from crying. No one expected that they could capture this demon alive.

Wan Qing threw the human skin of Hua Jianchou on the ground, sat aside with his legs crossed, and fiddled with an embroidery needle with his fingertips.

"Tell me, who sent you here? What do you want to do? Tell me so you can die comfortably."

At the critical moment of life and death, Di Ou did not refute his identity, nor did he panic to spare his life. Instead, he raised his head and stared at Wan Qing, laughing:

"No one sent me here. I just heard that the eunuch Wan who is in charge of Jiangnan is very powerful in martial arts. I am curious about your face. I came here tonight to see if I can peel off your skin."

Then he said with disappointment and regret:

"If I had known that you were so plain, I would not have come. It's a waste of effort."

Li Guodong glared at him and kicked him over.

"How do you talk to the eunuch? Even if you are a demon, how long can a mortal body withstand the torture instruments of my East Factory?!"

Di Ou frowned and stared at the broken face on the ground. His handsome face was full of morbidity and stupidity.

"Anyway, I've been captured alive by your government, you can kill me or chop me up as you please! I just beg you to let me die with that face."

"Hahahaha! There are really people in the world who are not afraid of death."

Seeing him so crazy, Wan Qing laughed and thought highly of this madman. His disguise skills are quite superb, and ordinary people can't really detect it without careful observation. He immediately felt like recruiting him.

"Di Ou! We think you are a talent, so we give you two choices, either die or stay and work for us. We will give you fame and fortune in the future."

But who would have thought that Di Ou nodded and replied without thinking:

"I have traveled all over the country for many years, and now it is more fun to follow you. From now on, I will only obey you."

"But what I want is not those vulgar things. With my martial arts, stealing gold and silver treasures is a piece of cake. I am not interested in fame, but I just want face! I hope you can fulfill my little wish."

"Okay! As long as they help us achieve hegemony, no matter they are dignitaries or martial arts heroes, their faces will be yours! As many as you want! Hahaha"

Di Ou asked anxiously:

"Father, can you loosen the rope for me now?"

With just a few words, he subdued a person who could be of great use.

Wan Qing smiled triumphantly, and lightly tapped his finger with a cold light, and the rope on Di Ou fell to the ground.

Di Ou hurried over, grabbed the torn human skin face, and repeatedly examined and kneaded it, full of heartache.

"Alas, a high-quality skin that I finally found is ruined like this."

The sky was already pale, and the officers in the yamen gradually woke up. At this time, three officers struggled to carry two women in.

One of the officers presented a letter with both hands.

"Report to the adults, a man who calls himself Zhuge sent two women and a letter."

Wan Qing opened the letter and read it solemnly. After reading it, he burned it to ashes.

Leng Tiancun beside him whispered:

"Eunuch, what happened?"

Wan Qing glanced at Leng Tiancun and ordered:

"Prepare the horses, return to Beijing today!"

"Yes!"

Leng Tiancun left with the officers.

Turning back to see the two women had fainted, they were Hua Buyu and her daughter!

When Di Ou saw the unconscious Hua Buyu, his eyes lit up immediately. Such a beautiful and delicate face was rare, and his tone was full of earnest anxiety.

"Father, can you give this woman to me! Such a delicate and fair face is a natural material for making masks."

Wan Qing patted Di Ou's shoulder and laughed, then said coldly:

"Wait until you have made contributions and then ask for rewards from our family!"

"Long Shuo, these two women are handed over to you. I want to get rid of them in time to prevent future troubles."

"I obey your command!!"

Long Shuo looked at the two fainted beauties, extremely excited, impatient, pushed Di Ou away, and hurriedly carried the two women away.

"Hahaha, get out! I'll give it to you after I'm done playing."

Di Ou, who was standing there, looked at the face of Hua Jianchou in his hand with envy, laughed a few times, and couldn't help but feel a desire to collect human skin masks.

Thanks to Eunuch Wan, even the face of Hua Jianchou, the "Laughing Umbrella Man", is in his hands. Wouldn't those rare faces be easily available in the future?

"Li Guodong!"

"I'm here."

"Go and make some arrangements. Take the four traitors, led by Xia Yan, to the capital. We'll set off today."

Just as Li Guodong was about to make some preparations, Wan Qing waved at him and whispered in his ear:

"If there are rioters blocking the way, you need to carefully identify them. If they are peasants, kill more of them. Don't hold back. As for the scholars, beat them up and let them go. Don't beat them to death. Be smart. We are counting on you."

"Yes!"

Li Guodong rolled his eyes. Although he was a little confused as to why Eunuch Wan was so cautious, he left without asking anything.

. . . . .

Only a month on the way, Wan Qing and others returned to the capital smoothly at full speed, and Cao Taiqing urgently summoned them.
