The constables all stopped in their tracks.

They were temporarily sent by their superiors to conscript men to perform this ghost play set in the underworld, unaware of how Miss Su managed to find clues from years ago.

If the adults knew about this ingenious "method of using ghosts," they would definitely visit him frequently in the future.

If they could learn some criminal investigation techniques, their career path might advance even further.

The villagers also listened intently.

The case that even the yamen couldn't solve was brought up by Su Hua; it might really be a dream from a ghost or deity.

People have only heard about ghosts and gods, but have never seen them with their own eyes, let alone understood them. And the less they understand something, the more afraid and curious they become.

"Young Master Meng, you're so eager to know?" Su Hua raised her eyes, looked at the fleeting expectation on the man's face, and suddenly shook her head and smiled.

"But the more you want to know, the less I want to tell you!"

After all, if you're a fool in this life, you'll hurt fewer people in the next, right?

Meng Yongfu's hopes were dashed, his face contorted with rage, and he squeezed the door frame so hard it was deformed. "Su Hua, you little bitch, you're a witch!"

You've wronged me so badly, even if I go to hell I won't let you go! You just wait, I'll make sure you suffer... Ah!!!

Before he could even utter the word 'death,' another sharp pain shot through his mouth.

A crimson line of blood shot into the air.

Before the man's screams could stop, a soft, mushy thing was stuffed into his bleeding mouth.

The villagers and officials who had been listening intently all gasped in shock upon witnessing this scene.

Mudfish Dad was so shocked that his mouth dropped open.

This little girl just picked it up; it was pooped by her big black dog at sunset.

These past few days, the villagers have been carrying manure to pour in front of the Meng family's door. He found it troublesome, so he simply let the big black dog defecate whenever it felt like it, regardless of the size or whether it was dry or wet.

A-Zheng raised an eyebrow with interest, "Little Hua'er, your subordinates have such likable temperaments, they're definitely your people."

Su Hua: "…………"

Qingdai is composed in her actions, but when she gets fiery, she seems to be constantly pushing the boundaries of what's acceptable.

A long while passed.

The constables finally came to their senses and could no longer care about their curiosity.

They quickly dragged the father and son towards the village entrance. However, after Meng Yongfu's mouth was filled, he seemed to have completely lost his mind. It took three or four constables to drag and pull him to control him.

Also taken away was Liang Siyu, who had woken up. Although she was a new bride in the Meng family, the matter was of great importance, and she had to be taken away for questioning and further processing.

"Tsk, this old geezer looks like he's lost his mind!"

As Xue Lao tore at the bump on his forehead, he couldn't help but glance at his fiery red beard and hair. "Could it be that I played the role of the King of Hell too well and scared him so much that he broke a hole in his courage?"

"You, the King of Hell, certainly acted extremely well."

Ah Zheng smiled and patted his shoulder seriously, "My brother Sanhu and I spent an hour or two in the house trying to fool them, but you, old man, scared them to their knees with just one look."

It truly proves the saying, "Old ginger is spicier."

Old Xue was enjoying the flattery, but when he heard the second half, his lion-like eyes bulged. "You brat, are you indirectly mocking me for being an old man with no bones?"

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself!" Ah Zheng chuckled and quickly backed away.

But she forgot about the white gauze wrapped around her wrist.

She had only taken two steps back when her left foot slipped on the white gauze, and she fell straight to the ground.

Just as he was about to fall spectacularly in a split, a pair of large hands reached out from the side and quickly grabbed him, saying, "You were performing so well indoors, how come you can't even walk steadily on flat ground?"

A-Zheng stared at the boy for a moment, a nonchalant smile appearing in her crimson pupils. "Just now, inside the house, my dead husband was holding the rope, so naturally I didn't fall. There's no rope outside, so it's not surprising that I fell."

The silvery voice, upon hearing it, made Su Sanhu's ears inexplicably turn red. He quickly let go of her hand, "What, what dead husband? It's just acting, don't talk nonsense..."

The villagers were still gathered outside the Meng family's gate, staring at the ghostly appearance of Xue Lao and the others.

The child, unaware of the taboo, was quite bold and ran up to Su Sanhu and Azheng, his face full of curiosity, "Uncle Sanhu, what are you and this sister playing?"

The white dresses you're wearing are so beautiful.

And these ghost masks, each one is so realistic! How were they drawn? Dog Egg wants to draw one too…”

Hearing the increasingly bold words, Su Chengde quickly tapped the ram's head cane in his hand. "Alright! It's late at night, everyone go back to sleep. We can talk about anything tomorrow morning, otherwise having nightmares is no joke."

Upon hearing this, the villagers dared not stay any longer.

The ghostly appearance is alright after a while, but the first glimpse of it almost scared me out of my wits. It's safer to go home and sleep.

Seeing the villagers hurrying home, Su Chengde sighed and looked at Su Hua and the others, "Hua'er, it's getting chilly at night, you should all go home early too."

"Yes, Hua'er understands." Su Hua nodded, and seeing his furrowed brows, she said gently, "Uncle Village Chief, don't worry. The Meng family is the Meng family, and Shanghe Village is Shanghe Village. Our Shanghe Village is getting better every day. People outside will just gossip a bit, and then it will pass."

Upon hearing this, the man's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed. "That's right, Hua'er is right. Now, who in the surrounding villages doesn't envy our Shanghe Village? The number of girls who want to marry into the village has increased many times over. We certainly won't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch."
