Entry

After he left, Ruan Yunsheng took a deep breath and looked at the Black and White Impermanence beside him with admiration, "You are really amazing! This is the first time I see someone bargaining with the boss!"

Ruan Yunsheng waved her hands happily on the surface, but she was actually roaring in her heart. She didn't expect it to be Yan Jun. These two guys didn't tell her in advance that he had such a powerful backer. Her heart was pounding now.

But she was still curious, "Why is your boss Yan Jun?"

You should know that the underworld has a strict hierarchy. Ordinary ghost messengers can only meet the judge at most. Ordinary ghost messengers may not be able to see the Ten Kings of Hell even once in hundreds of years.

Hei Wuchang scratched his head, looking confused: "Is there any problem?"

Bai Wuchang was obviously more clever. Seeing her shocked expression, he suddenly realized, "Oh, you're wondering how small characters like us can be directly under the jurisdiction of Lord Yan?"

Ruan Yunsheng: “…”

Is there any need to ask?

Upon hearing this, Bai Wuchang straightened his back and said with a smug look on his face: "Because we have someone above us!"

Hei Wuchang also added proudly: "My second uncle is the chef of Yan Jun's mansion!"

Ruan Yunsheng: “…”

Bai Wuchang: "My third aunt is Madam Yanjun's personal maid!"

Ruan Yunsheng???

She wondered why these two people were so bad, it turned out they were just relatives!

Bai Wuchang sighed, "Originally, Yama Jun didn't want to take us in, but my third aunt kept nagging Madam about it, and finally Yama Jun got fed up and simply stuffed us into the Yin Messenger team."

Ruan Yunsheng: “…”

Are you still sad?

She took a deep breath and tried to keep smiling: "So...what do you usually do?"

Hei Wuchang scratched his head: "Actually, there's nothing serious to do. I just occasionally visit ghosts, and most of the time I just wander around the human world."

Bai Wuchang added: "Yan Jun doesn't care about us anyway, as long as we don't cause trouble."

No wonder these two guys are idle all day long!

She suddenly felt that her bargaining with Lord Yan just now did not seem so outrageous.

After the two men finished speaking, they began to sell An Yue earnestly, "Miss, I see that you have quite a talent for ghost cultivation. Are you interested in working in our underworld? The salary is quite good."

"Do you think I don't exist?" Ruan Yunsheng glanced at the two people sideways, without any seriousness.

After laughing and joking, the group of people gathered together to discuss the crops.

"There are so many ghosts in this mass grave, how are you going to find them?" Bai Wuchang looked at the names on the bamboo slips and suddenly felt overwhelmed.

"How dare you say that?" Ruan Yunsheng said angrily, "So many people died for no reason, don't you know?"

This was a serious statement, and Heibai Wuchang felt he had to clear his name. "We've only just taken office. If we have anything to ask, we should ask the Yincha who previously managed this place."

"Besides, we only collect souls, so we don't care about these matters. The judge will decide what crimes they have committed and what mistakes they have made."

Yeah, Ruan Yunsheng nodded in agreement as if he was coaxing a child.

Song Tinghe, who had been squatting nearby without saying a word, suddenly spoke up: "In fact, the father and son of the Zhuang family commit crimes in a very regular pattern. One of them dies every two or three months." He even pointed out the crimes one by one for Ruan Yunsheng to check.

Ruan Yunsheng looked at the death times listed on the bamboo slips, and suddenly realized that the father and son of the Zhuang family had not killed anyone for nearly half a year.

She pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes deep: "I have endured for so long, maybe this time I can catch them in the act and catch them in the trap."

"But I haven't seen the woman during this time I've been hiding in the banker's house. How can I catch her?" An Yue was impatient and wanted to bring these people to justice right away.

"Look." Ruan Yunsheng gestured for them to look at the places of death recorded in the bamboo slips, which were all remote inns outside the city.

"These father and son are quite clever. If they kill someone in the city, it would be difficult to erase all traces. However, outside the city, in the wilderness, no one would notice if someone is missing."

Ruan Yunsheng snorted coldly, what a beast! "There might be something fishy going on in these inns. I have to go check it out."

She put away the bamboo slips and was about to head towards the nearest Tuanyuan Inn, but Song Tinghe hurriedly stopped her: "It's too late now, why not tomorrow..."

"The inn can only harvest at night." Ruan Yunsheng walked around Song Tinghe and said as he walked, "Besides... don't you have you here?" After saying that, he winked at them playfully.

"We have a way to temporarily appear in front of people, why don't we..." Black and White Impermanence were really worried. If something happened to her, how would they explain to King Yama?

"No!" Ruan Yunsheng stopped him loudly, "With two grown men like you out here, the innkeeper will have no chance to think of anything bad."

"Don't worry." She pulled me, An Yue, and patted her chest to assure me, "With An Yue here, who can do anything to me?"

That was true. Now An Yue had made some progress in her cultivation, so dealing with a few mortals was not a problem for her, so the Black and White Impermanence let her go.

"And me!" Song Tinghe raised his hands, trying to make himself look more powerful.

Ruan Yunsheng looked at his weak body, but it didn't dampen his confidence, and he cheered him on happily.

Song Tinghe...always felt like he was being treated perfunctorily.

The Reunion Inn was not far from the mass grave. Not long after Ruan Yunsheng left, she saw the glowing red lanterns hanging at the door of the inn. She quickly tidied herself up, rubbed her face, and began the show for her family.

"Is anyone there?" She knocked on the door timidly, her voice weak and a little frightened.

The door creaked open, and a chubby-faced clerk poked his head out. He glanced at Ruan Yunsheng's face, a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he put on a smile: "Miss, what are you doing..."

"I'm passing by here and would like to stay for one night..." Ruan Yunsheng lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, and her voice became weaker and weaker. "I wonder if you can help me?"

Seeing that she was alone and so beautiful, Chen Sheng's eyes flashed with greed, and he quickly stepped aside and said, "Young lady, please come in! It's so dangerous for a weak woman like you to travel alone in these desolate mountains!"

As he spoke, he opened the door. Ruan Yunsheng bowed gratefully and followed Chen Sheng into the inn.

The inn was dimly lit, the tables and chairs were old, and the air was filled with a musty smell. Ruan Yunsheng sat down, while Song Tinghe and An Yue stared at his every move.

Mr. Chen poured her a cup of hot tea and handed it to her attentively: "Miss, drink some tea to warm yourself up first. I will go prepare the meal."

Ruan Yunsheng took the tea, her fingertips trembling slightly, as if she was very cold. She sipped it in small sips, but looked around calmly out of the corner of her eye. The curtains behind the counter around her swayed slightly, as if a figure flashed by.

Ever since she came in, she always felt like someone was staring at her.

"Where are you going, girl?" Mr. Chen asked casually while wiping the table.

Come to life!

Ruan Yunsheng put down her teacup, her eyes slightly red. "I originally came here to seek refuge with my relatives, but on the way I heard that my family had been robbed, and none of us survived..." Her voice choked with sobs, tears streaming down her face. "I was lucky enough to escape by hiding in the cellar..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng's eyes flashed with joy, but he suppressed it, his face looking somewhat ugly and distorted. "Alas, this world is truly a sin! Miss, please accept my condolences. Rest assured, this inn may be small, but it is very safe. No one dares to come in."

Ruan Yunsheng wiped her tears and nodded gratefully.

Soon, he brought a bowl of hot noodles and said with a kind smile: "Eat it while it's hot, girl, and have a good rest after eating."

Ruan Yunsheng took the bowl, gobbled it up, and wiped the corner of his mouth in embarrassment.

"Girl, you must be very hungry. Do you want another bowl?" Mr. Chen watched her finish the noodles without leaving a drop, and the smile on his face grew bigger and bigger.

"I'm full. Thank you for your help." Ruan Yunsheng looked at Mr. Chen gratefully, his words full of normality.

"It's not a bother, it's my duty." He collected the dishes on the table and took them to the kitchen, then came out and led her to a room to rest.

"Girl, have a good rest. Call me if you need anything." After saying that, he kindly closed the door for her. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, and an expression of excitement and stimulation slowly emerged.

inside the house.

"Why did you eat all the noodles? I saw him..."

Song Tinghe anxiously circled around Ruan Yunsheng, but he was just a soul and could do nothing.

"How could they believe me if I didn't eat it in that situation just now?" Ruan Yunsheng didn't care at all. She picked up the basin and washed her hands frantically. The man just now kept touching her body vaguely, which made her feel sick.

"Don't take it lightly, what if..." Song Tinghe felt like an old mother now. What should she do if she has a rebellious child at home!

"I'm here." An Yue comforted him, "With my current strength, it won't be a problem for him to suffer the consequences of his actions."

"Look." With An Yue's words, Ruan Yunsheng instantly gained confidence, and Song Tinghe was so angry that he squatted in the corner and didn't want to talk.

At night, the house was silent, with the occasional sound of Ruan Yunsheng's cheerful snoring, and the door creaked open a crack.

"Girl? Are you awake?" Mr. Chen came closer, his tone concerned, but his eyes were shining with excitement.

After making sure that the person was asleep, Mr. Chen took out all his financial resources, picked up Ruan Yunsheng and walked towards the dark and deep stairs.

…

Ruan Yunsheng was awakened by a biting chill.

She opened her eyes and found herself tied up with thick ropes and thrown into a dark and damp cellar. The air was filled with the stench of decay and blood. Rusty iron chains hung on the walls and several white bones were piled in the corner.

She thought she was the only one here, but she didn't expect that there were seven or eight ragged women imprisoned here. They had haggard faces and dull eyes. Some were locked with iron chains, and some were curled up in the corner, their bodies covered with bruises and scars.

"What's wrong with me?" Ruan Yunsheng looked at them in confusion, wanting to reach out for help, but they were avoided one by one. They curled up tremblingly, making meaningless sobs in their throats. It was obvious that they had been bullied by the people in the inn.

Ruan Yunsheng's eyes turned cold, what a beast!

"He didn't do anything to you." An Yue reported on her progress that night. "There are five people in this inn, all tall and strong, with many powerful weapons. At the latest, after they tied you up, someone sent a message. If nothing goes wrong, it should be the Zhuang family father and son."

Ruan Yunsheng and An Yue smiled at each other, it seemed the fish had taken the bait!
