The prefect's surname is Zhao, and anyone who can be the prefect in Kyoto is naturally not a fool.

After An Jingzhi finished speaking, Zhao Fuyin thought of how he often saw ghost lights on graves when he was a child, and he had also seen them on the battlefield. At that time, everyone thought it was a wronged soul seeking revenge, but he didn't expect it to be explained in this way.

Mr. Wu, who was called over for questioning, was already sweating profusely and trembling with fear.

Look at his performance, Mr. Zhao, there is no doubt about it.

Call someone for interrogation directly.

Before the torture even started, Mr. Wu cried and confessed everything.

Mr. Wu, who was over fifty years old, was a perverted man who could not be called human. He often tortured the maids in his house for fun, and many of them died in this way. He then had his trusted henchmen bury them in the backyard. When the Kyoto earthquake uncovered the bones, he was so frightened that he quickly buried them. After he finished, he found himself having nightmares.

He dreamed every day that the maids were looking for him to kill him, so he simply sold the house, which was taken over by Master Yao.

In fact, when he first heard that the place was haunted, he felt a little guilty, but later he found that he no longer had nightmares after moving.

So Mr. Wu became tough.

When Master Yao came to see him, he still stubbornly said that nothing happened when he lived there, but the house became haunted as soon as Master Yao moved in.

He also asked Mr. Yao to ask him what bad things he had done to cause the ghost?

What Mr. Wu said was true, and Mr. Yao didn't dare to insist any further.

But Mr. Wu didn't expect to meet someone like An Jingzhi, who even dug up the backyard.

Mr. Yao, who came over to ask questions, was so angry that his eyes turned red.

The house, which could have been sold for 25,000 taels of silver, was bargained down to 20,000 taels. Mr. Yao was still gloating over his bargaining skills.

He didn't expect that he would be tricked by this old guy. Thinking of the haunted things that happened after his family moved into the house, and his old wife who was frightened and sick for half a month, Grandpa Yao wanted to eat his flesh raw!

"Fuck you! You old bastard!" You still have the nerve to ask me what immoral things you've done?!

He was stopped before he could finish the second half of the sentence.

Zhao Fuyin ordered the bailiff to hold back Master Yao, who was rushing towards Master Wu, and said, "Don't yell in the court!"

The case was very clear. A few days later, Mr. Wu was sentenced to death and his family had to pay 100 taels of silver to each of the victims.

The families of the victims cried out in despair and called the Lord the Justice.

Princess Ning Yue, dressed in men's clothing, stood beside An Jingzhi without saying a word. After leaving the court, there was some silence.

An Jingzhi was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

"Only one hundred taels. Are those innocent women only worth one hundred taels?"

An Jingzhi consoled him, "If they hadn't been dug out, there might not even be this one hundred taels left. If the county lord is worried, he can look after these families privately."

An Jingzhi didn't want her to be sad, so he quickly changed the subject, "How is it? I told you I could catch ghosts, didn't I?"

Princess Ning Yue was indeed transferred. "Alright, alright, you're pretty awesome, right? How does your master know so much? Ordinary people wouldn't even have time to avoid the ghost fire when they see it."

An Jingzhi explained: "For us, this is just common sense."

Princess Ning Yue asked again, "Since you said the will-o'-the-wisp is naturally formed, then why do the servants of the Yao family still say they often have nightmares about evil spirits seeking their lives?"

"How can you not have nightmares at night if you're scared every day? It's said that whatever you think about during the day, you dream about at night. Being in such an environment is very stressful, so they will have nightmares at night."

In the original owner's memory, Mr. Wu was fine.

After he discovered that there might be a corpse in the backyard, he went to Mr. Wu to blackmail him and told him about his relationship with Princess Ningyue. Mr. Wu was afraid to act rashly and could only be blackmailed for 100,000 taels by the original owner. The Yao residence gradually became desolate and no one dared to go there anymore.

The women in the underground will never see the light of day again.

…

After the bones were dug out and handled, there was no more ghost fire in Yao's house, but Mr. Yao didn't dare to live there anymore. He was terrified when he thought about how many people had died in his family.

Although no one dared to take over Yao's house, he did not dare to refuse to pay the money he was owed, so he gave An Jingzhi one thousand taels at that time.

To him, anyone who knew how will-o'-the-wisp was formed was a master. Who among ordinary people would bother to study how these will-o'-the-wisp were formed?

Do you dare to go into a cemetery at night?

"Have you heard? The Yao family's ghost has been taken away by a master! It's no longer haunted."

"I know that! I went to see it right then, and the Yao family dug out over a dozen skeletons. It was terrifying. I even went to the county court to sit in on the proceedings! That old bastard surnamed Wu is such a jerk. Not only did he harm a girl, he even went to kill her! The prefect has sentenced him to death, and I'm going to go and see his head drop off."

"That ghost hunter is really quite skilled! Unlike those charlatans who were so frightened they ran away in terror."

"I heard that after the master went to the Yao family, the wronged souls, seeing his great abilities, came to him and complained to him, asking him to make a decision. After hearing the grievances of the wronged souls, the master realized that they were buried underground!"

"Hiss! He can actually communicate with ghosts and gods! No wonder he can capture so many evil spirits!"

"Where is the master? I want to ask him if my son can pass the imperial examination next year."

"I want to ask a master if the baby in my wife's belly is a son."

…

Before he knew it, An Jingzhi's reputation as a master who could consult ghosts and gods spread, and he became very famous.

Rather than the reason why white phosphorus spontaneously combusted, they would rather believe that An Jingzhi had the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods and knew that there were so many bones underground.
