Transmigrated to Famine Year: Supermarket Owner at Five and a Half

Song Tantian transmigrated to ancient times, becoming a five-and-a-half-year-old little sprout. In a chaotic, famine-stricken world, surrounded by danger, she immediately faced the immense change o...

Chapter 286 Reporting to the Officials

"Master, wake up! Can you hear anything? Wake up!" The second wife called out several times, but the person next to her did not respond and was still snoring with his mouth open. She trembled and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on the waist of the person next to her.

"Ouch! Who pinched me? It hurts so much!" Master Ren sat up abruptly from the bed with his eyes still closed, then cursed, "You old hag, why are you pinching me in the middle of the night?"

When Mrs. Ren was yelled at, she was not angry at all, but felt much more at ease. She leaned against Mr. Ren and pointed outside, trembling as she said, "Master, there is someone outside. It seems that my sister-in-law has returned."

"What nonsense are you spouting? My sister-in-law died a long time ago, how could she possibly come back?" Master Ren retorted instinctively.

"Master, I'm not lying. Listen, it really is her who's back." Madam Ren trembled all over, her teeth chattering.

Song Tantan listened at the door for a while, knowing that everyone inside was awake and started acting again, "Give me back my life, give me back my life, give me back my husband's life, blood for blood, murder for a life..."

This time, Master Ren heard it too, and heard it clearly. He stared in horror at the door, his face as white as paper in the darkness. "...Impossible, how could there be ghosts in this world? It must be some villain in disguise."

As he spoke, he got up to get the sword hanging by the bedside. It was bought by Master Ren for self-defense, but it had always been used as a pendant and had never been actually used. Madam Ren had even complained that he was wasting money by buying something useless, but she never expected it to come in handy today.

Hearing the sound of a sword being drawn inside, Song Tantan did not back down. Instead, she used her knife to cut the door bolt, pushed the door open, and went inside. She had taken off her roller skates when she came over, as they were not very useful and would only hinder her performance.

Master Ren was about to go out and chop down the thing outside that he couldn't tell if it was a person or a ghost when, unexpectedly, it got there first. Then, in the darkness, he saw a disheveled female ghost dressed in white slowly floating towards him.

But the female ghost walked for a long time without coming over. She would take a few steps and then disappear, only to reappear suddenly. She would disappear and reappear again, repeating this several times.

"Ah, a ghost!" Master Ren had seen it with his own eyes. This ghost could transform, appearing and disappearing as it pleased. What else could it be but a ghost?

Song Tantan: Naturally, it's because I have a space. I repeatedly enter and exit the space, which makes it appear to outsiders as if I'm appearing and disappearing, disappearing and appearing, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

Combined with the dim green light shining in from outside, the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. After they had played enough, Song Tantan suddenly approached Master Ren, reached out and pinched his jawbone, then quickly threw in a pill.

"Ah, help..." Mrs. Ren screamed, clutching her head, but before she could finish speaking, Song Tantan sprinkled a handful of numbing powder on her, and she collapsed onto the bed with a thud after being drugged.

Song Tantan pinched Mrs. Ren's chin, intending to feed her a pill as well, but then thought it would be a waste and decided not to give it to her.

The woman was timid, and since Master Ren had already fallen for it, the couple, one sober and the other terrified, gave the same story, which should be more convincing.

After settling things here, the two went to the third house's courtyard. They performed a ghostly act in Master Ren's room, then fed Master Ren's wife a pill. Master Ren didn't take the pill, but Song Tantan grabbed his neck from behind and almost choked him to death.

Seeing that the other party's pupils were somewhat unfocused, Ye Mo took out a toy rooster and crowed. Upon hearing the rooster's crow, Song Tantan exaggeratedly pretended to be startled, then immediately let go and disappeared from Master Ren's room.

After jumping around enough, it was time to go back to sleep. As they were about to climb over the wall to leave, Song Tantan stopped Ye Mo and asked, "The Ren family mansion should have quite a few good things, do you want to take some?"

Ye Moxun: "These things need to be returned to Ren Yufeng in a while. Are you sure you want to take them?"

They only take things from corrupt officials or evil people. Neither of the two masters of the Ren family are good people, but Ren Yufeng has not done anything bad. Well then, let's leave the Ren family's property to Ren Yufeng.

Originally, Song Tantan wanted to take some grain with her, but since they hadn't scouted the area beforehand, they didn't know the location of the granary. Most importantly, Song Tantan felt a bit sleepy and was too lazy to look for grain.

The next day, Song Tantan slept until late morning. He was always thinking about finding someone. First, he wanted to find the son of the owner of the jade, and then he wanted to find the son of the owner of the embroidered shoes. In the end, the owners of the two items were the same person, and naturally, the son was also the same person.

With the problem of finding the person suddenly resolved, she had some free time and started to get a little lazy.

When she got up to eat, Ye Moxun had already returned after finishing his business.

"How is Ah Xun? Have those two gentlemen from the Ren family confessed yet?"

Today, someone was sent to Huaming County to inform Ren Yufeng that he could return to Changye City. Just now, A-Xun sent someone to the yamen to report the crime and expose the crimes of the two illegitimate sons of the Ren family.

The current prefect is newly appointed and is fair and honest in his work. He is not like the previous one who only knew how to oppress the people and accept bribes from the wealthy, and was capable of all sorts of evil deeds.

After someone reported the case, the prefect ordered his yamen runners to arrest the two masters of the Ren family. When they arrived at the court, the second master of the Ren family was acting crazy and talking nonsense. The second mistress of the Ren family was also suspicious and paranoid. The third mistress of the Ren family kept shouting that there was a ghost and that the first mistress of the Ren family had returned.

Master Ren looked blank and still in shock. They were all cowardly cowards. How dare such scoundrels murder for money? It's true that money can move people's hearts. Some people will do anything for money.

These things are too easily scared. A simple ghost scene was enough to frighten them into confessing everything without any interrogation.
