Qi Huang was about to get into the car,
Suddenly a man came running this way, tumbling and crawling.
I don't know what terrible thing happened.
His face turned deathly pale with fright.
He kept muttering to himself.
"There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
"Old Cai's daughter has turned into a vengeful ghost and is killing people."
This shout,
Many people around were curious and peered over.
"Isn't this the butler from the Zhang family in Lane 18? What's wrong? Has something serious happened?"
"Why do I hear him calling out for Old Man Cai's daughter? Yingying has been dead for over ten years. If she were a ghost, she would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?"
"Let's go, let's go see what's going on?"
Qi Huang frowned.
Thinking of that piece of clothing that was burned in front of the grave,
I stopped getting into the car and wanted to ask the butler about the specifics.
The steward had already run past the carriage.
They turned into the alley and ran towards Old Man Cai's house.
"Old Cai, you must go and see! Your daughter has turned into a vengeful ghost!"
Qi Huang was worried and quickly followed.
Mo Yunhan and Ye Qi had obviously heard it too, and both stood by the roadside.
Upon seeing her approach, Mo Yunhan's expression darkened slightly.
"Are you truly confident in your summoning technique? If you're willing to leave such a hidden danger behind just to obtain the medicinal herbs, you can hardly be considered a member of the Xuanmen sect."
"My affairs are none of your business."
Qi Huang coldly retorted to him and quickly walked towards Cai's old house.
Many locals also gathered around to watch the spectacle.
Before Qi Huang even arrived, the butler who had rushed into the Cai family's house first came scrambling out again.
His face looked even worse than before.
"Old Cai is dead. Old Cai is dead."
Everyone was taken aback.
Qi Huang was shocked and quickly pushed through the crowd to rush inside.
The door to the main room had already been opened by the butler.
Old Cai sat in a chair in the main hall, his head tilted to one side, his lips bluish-purple, and a bottle of poison on the table.
He left so decisively that he had long since stopped breathing.
Qi Huang raised her hand and grasped the hem of her dress at her heart.
If she hadn't summoned his daughter's spirit to reunite him with her in order to get the medicine, the man wouldn't have died.
"sorry!"
She murmured softly.
A group of people rushed into the courtyard.
The old woman who had come earlier said, "It was her. Old Cai died after she arrived. It must be related to her."
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation.
"Although Old Cai had an eccentric temper, he was a kind man. We all owe him a debt of gratitude for any minor illness or ailment we may have suffered. Now that Old Cai has died under mysterious circumstances, we must not let the murderer go unpunished."
"Yes, we must give Mr. Cai an explanation!"
"Grab her and take her to the county government office in Jingzhao Prefecture."
Seeing that everyone was about to make a move,
Mo Yunhan flew and landed in front of Qi Huang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can testify that Mr. Cai was still alive before she left."
The woman who gave directions immediately realized what was happening.
"Yes, and you too. You're all in cahoots. You're the ones who killed Old Cai."
Qi Huang was anxious about the matter of the vengeful ghost.
He stepped out from behind Mo Yunhan, pointed at him, and
"This is the current regent. You can go to him with any problems you have, and he will take care of them!"
Mo Yunhan was stunned.
He stared at her in disbelief.
This woman stabbed him in the back right in front of him, even though he was the one helping her out.
Qi Huang ignored his gaze.
He turned to look at the butler in the crowd.
"Where is the haunted place? Take me there."
Everyone was stunned by the words "Regent".
I didn't react for a moment.
Just as Qi Huang was about to leave, everyone suddenly realized...
My anger was even greater than before.
"Regent? Can you royal nobles treat human life so lightly?"
"I know now. They must have come to Elder Cai to buy medicine, but he refused, so they decided to kill him. People have tried to coerce and bribe them before, but I never expected them to actually dare to kill someone. Is there no law under the emperor's nose?"
"If the Jingzhao Prefecture can't handle it, then we'll appeal to the Emperor."
Everyone had received care from Old Man Cai, and had also witnessed powerful figures coercing him.
At this moment, they were convinced that Mo Yunhan and Qi Huang had poisoned Elder Cai in order to obtain the medicine, and they were all filled with rage.
Some people even reached out to grab Qi Huang to prevent her from leaving.
Qi Huang could not bring himself to harm such people.
He stumbled from being pulled and almost fell over.
Mo Yunhan's eyes darkened slightly. He skillfully grabbed the other party's wrist to free Qi Huang and stood in front of him once again.
"You have no evidence to prove that we two committed the murder, yet you pin the crime on us. Do you know what crime it is to falsely accuse the royal family?"
He was a ruthless and bloodthirsty person.
His aura was still imposing, and his presence was extremely intimidating.
The crowd's arrogance was immediately suppressed, but the woman who had given directions was hot-tempered and refused to back down.
“I am not framing you. Old Cai did die after seeing you. I even gave him steamed buns this morning. He was alive and well. How could he be gone as soon as you arrived? Even if it is the emperor, there must be a crime for murder, right? How can you kill so casually? If you kill Old Cai today, will all of us die tomorrow?”
When she said that, everyone else chimed in.
The atmosphere became lively again.
Qi Huang felt uneasy.
She couldn't help but reach out and tug at his sleeve.
“If it is truly because of the summoning of spirits, once Old Master Cai’s daughter harms someone, she will never be able to be reincarnated. You should send me out first.”
Mo Yunhan's gaze fell on her small hands that were clutching the hem of her clothes.
