Feng Zhizhang spun around in front of Madam Feng and said, "Look, I'm all better now. I'm no longer in pain. I've never felt so comfortable in my life."
Madam Feng burst into tears: "I thought I would never see you again."
She pointed to Feng Zhizhang's body on the wooden board: "Hurry back into your body, you might come back to life, hurry!"
Feng Zhizhang stood still, so Madam Feng anxiously pushed him, her hand passing through his body again. Madam Feng's heart clenched: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for?"
Feng Zhizhang sighed, "Mother, I've tried, but it's no use. There's no going back."
The constables standing nearby, who had also been opened with their supernatural abilities, were also moved to tears when they saw the young master so full of life.
He recalled the young Taoist priest's words: "Madam, the young Taoist priest at the door asked you to go find her. This talisman was given to you by that young Taoist priest."
Madam Feng felt a surge of joy: "Where is he? I'll go right now. Maybe the young Taoist priest can bring my son back to life. Quickly, lead the way."
When Madam Feng arrived at the government office with great anticipation, she saw a little girl, even younger than her son. She was thin and short, with her hair tied up on top of her head, wearing a blue Taoist robe, and her face still showing signs of childishness. She was drawing something on the stone lion at the entrance and then touched the stone lion's forehead.
This is way too small!
She was very disappointed: "Why is it a child?"
The constable knew this was somewhat unbelievable: "I told you long ago, Madam, it was the young Taoist priest. The talisman in your hand was given to you by this young Taoist priest. He just made a gesture in front of me, and I saw Li Nong and the young master. It's true, Madam, look, Li Nong is still over there, he hasn't left yet."
Madam Feng looked into the distance and indeed saw Li Nong, the constable who had died a few days ago.
The stone lion that Yuan Qi touched looked even more majestic.
She then walked over and said, "Young Taoist priest, please come in."
Yuan Qi spoke crisply and took short strides up the steps: "Please, Madam."
Madam Dai and Madam Qian Jin also went inside.
Madam Feng invited everyone to the back room, had tea served, and sent someone to fetch Feng Youxiao.
To make things easier, Yuan Qi directly opened the Yin Eyes of everyone present.
Feng Youxiao stared at his son's spirit, unable to come to his senses for a long time.
"Zhizhang, is it really you?"
Feng Zhizhang was not so respectful to Feng Youxiao. He snorted and turned away, not wanting to talk to him. The reason was simple: he had personally witnessed Feng Youxiao trying to take the 300,000 taels from the Dai family and let the murderer who killed him go.
In fact, he also wanted to kill Dai Yunlei directly, but he tried many methods, such as strangling Dai Yunlei, but he had no ghost power and could not control anything or touch a living person.
We had no choice but to give up.
Feng Youxiao sighed and looked at Yuan Qi: "Young Taoist priest, what brings you here?"
Yuan Qi said, "I feel sorry for you two because your son has died. Now let's ask your son how he died."
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly swept through the hall, making people shiver. Soon after, two ghost messengers entered, one holding a soul-catching rope and the other holding a small booklet.
The two ghost messengers approached Yuan Qi and greeted him politely: "Master, we need to take Feng Zhizhang away. Please do us a favor."
Yuan Qi ignored the two ghost messengers, waving them dismissively and telling them to stand aside and wait.
Madam Feng and Feng Youxiao immediately understood what the two ghost messengers had come to do. Although they did not believe in ghosts and gods, things had already come to this point, so they had no choice but to believe. They instinctively shielded their son behind them, as if to say, "If you dare to come any closer, I'll fight you to the death."
Yuan Qi didn't care about the couple's actions, but looked at Feng Zhixian very seriously: "Tell me how you died. The ghost messenger has your birth date, time of death, and cause of death. If you lie, this celestial master will know at a glance."
Feng Youxiao and his wife were clearly feeling guilty. They knew all too well that their son was in poor health and could die at any moment. If the truth were revealed, not only would they lose 300,000 taels of silver, but the Dai family father and son in prison would also have to be released.
I'm not reconciled.
Feng Zhizhang was unwilling to accept this, but with the ghost messengers in front of him, he dared not lie: "I died from a heart attack when I was fighting with Dai Yunlei. But Master, if it weren't for Dai Yunlei, I wouldn't have died."
Madam Feng was furious: "What do you mean, young Taoist priest? Are you trying to exonerate Dai Yunlei? Did you take money from the Dai family? Do you want Dai Yunlei to be released without charge?"
Feng Youxiao stepped forward and gently pulled his wife: "Madam, please don't be like this. This young Taoist priest is very powerful. Being able to open someone's 'yin eye' is no ordinary skill. If we anger her, we will both die."
He was used to assuming the worst about others, especially someone as capable as Yuan Qi, who could potentially control everything.
Madam Feng was still somewhat wary, but she was determined: "Young Taoist priest, my son died because of Dai Yunlei, and Dai Yunlei must be brought to justice. According to the laws of our dynasty, murderers must pay with their lives. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot overstep the law."
Qian Jin coughed lightly and said, "I am Qian Jin, Marquis of Shouchang, and hold the official position of Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies. Although I am not an official of the Ministry of Justice, I know a little about the laws of Rongguo. The principle of 'a life for a life' that you mentioned depends on the circumstances. If it is an accidental killing, it will be dealt with leniently. Besides, your son was not killed by Dai Yunlei, but died from a relapse of his heart disease. Feng Youxiao, Madam Feng, you must have evidence to convict someone."
Madam Feng immediately lost her temper and growled at Qian Jin, "My son died because of him, and I will never let Dai Yunlei go, no matter what you say. Don't talk to me about the law; in Yangzhou, my husband is the one who calls the shots."
Qian Jin wasn't buying it: "Feng Youxiao is just a local official sent to a remote area; no matter how high his rank, he can't be above the law."
Feng Youxiao knew his wife had gone too far, so he stepped forward to stop her: "Alright, what do you know, you're just a woman? I'm just a local official in Yangzhou, how can I have the power to cover up everything? Your reckless words will only bring trouble upon me."
He was somewhat worried that if his wife continued to stay here, things might not be resolved: "Madam, you must be tired. Go and rest. I'll handle things here."
Madam Feng roared, "No! My son died innocently! I want justice for him! Don't stop me!"
Even Feng Zhizhang said, "Father, I died unjustly. You can't let Dai Yunlei off the hook, you can't let the Dai family off the hook. If Dai Zhan'an hadn't failed in raising his son, how could I have suffered such a calamity? You are my own father, how can you betray your own family?"
Yuan Qi chuckled softly, and the ghost messenger beside her trembled as well. Although Yuan Qi had been reborn and was not very old now, her abilities from her previous life had not diminished at all. Every time she chuckled like that, it meant that someone was about to be in trouble.
