Chapter 103: When people do evil, they are more terrifying than ghosts
Chen Jinmei huddled behind Yun Qingqing, trembling, crying and shouting:
"Don't come over here! Master, please save me! He's a ghost and he will kill me!"
Yun Qingqing asked curiously:
"Ghosts are formed from the souls of people after death. Ghosts will not be much different from the personality of humans. If there is no hatred, ghosts will not harm people for no reason."
"You are husband and wife, so why does his ghost treat you like this? And why are you so afraid of him?"
Chen Jinmei's face turned pale and she was speechless.
Suddenly, a man rushed in from outside, gasped when he saw Kang Yan's ghost, and then his eyes turned red as he knelt down with a plop:
"Dad! Is that you?"
The ghost shook slightly, his eyes gradually cleared, and his voice choked:
"Lei'er... my poor son!"
Yun Qingqing looked at Chen Jinmei:
"Look, your husband understands everything, doesn't he?"
Chen Jinmei's lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
Yun Qingqing looked at Kang Yan's ghost again and said:
"I'm here on behalf of your wife to inquire about where you keep all the property certificates."
Kang Yan's ghost showed an angry look, but before he could speak, Yun Qingqing made a gesture, and the talisman on the coffin flashed with golden light. Kang Yan paused and shrank back a little.
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"Just a reminder, I've already taken the money from your wife, so you have no choice but to tell me where it is."
"However, the effect of this Soul Revealing Talisman lasts for a full hour. I will not interfere with what you do during the remaining time."
Kang Yan understood the meaning of her words, his anger disappeared, and he immediately bowed deeply to her:
"Thank you for your guidance!"
Chen Jinmei naturally understood what these words meant. She grabbed the corner of Yun Qingqing's sleeve with fear and anger, and said anxiously:
"How could you do this! I spent money, you can't just ignore me!"
Yun Qingqing looked at her coldly:
"According to you, you're wholeheartedly concerned about your husband's family. Now, not only can he tell you the whereabouts of your family property in person, but you also have the opportunity to say goodbye to your husband properly. What's wrong with that?"
"No...no..." Chen Jinmei stammered and couldn't speak.
Kang Yan's face became furious again, his pale complexion gradually became ferocious, and the ghostly aura around him grew thicker.
However, the golden light on the yellow talisman also became stronger at the same time, suppressing his evil spirit and allowing him to maintain his sanity.
He pointed at Chen Jinmei and cursed:
"You evil woman, I took pity on you because you were young and beautiful and married into my Kang family as my second wife. I was afraid I'd wronged you, so I indulged you in everything I did. But I never knew you'd be secretly having an affair with a strange man, and even poisoned me to embezzle our family fortune!"
"Fortunately, Heaven has mercy on me and allowed me to seek justice. Chen, today is your retribution!"
As he spoke, his feet clearly did not move, but his body slowly approached Chen Jinmei.
Chen Jinmei was so frightened that she crawled back, grabbed a candlestick to block her face, and screamed:
"Don't come over here! Master, please help me take him in!"
Yun Qingqing looked calm:
"The agreed price is eight hundred taels. I will help you find the whereabouts of your property. This does not include any additional services."
"Then, then how much do you want for this evil ghost? I, I still have some gold and silver jewelry, far worth hundreds of silver. Can I give them all to you?" Chen Jinmei hurriedly increased the price.
Yun Qingqing was straightforward:
"He's not an evil spirit. I refuse."
Kang Yan was getting closer and closer to Chen Jinmei, and two lines of blood and tears flowed down his pale face:
"Evil woman! Give me back my life—"
"Ah!!!" A hot stream suddenly surged between Chen Jinmei's legs, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
Yun Qingqing took two steps back, raised her hand and made a hand gesture. Kang Yan paused, and the ghost energy on his body dissipated a little.
"Alright, there's no need to get stained with blood for someone like this. It's just a waste of time. She'll be punished according to the laws of the living world, and she'll have to pay for her sins even after death."
Kang Yan nodded, returned the coffin and looked at his son Kang Lei.
The father and son cried bitterly to each other. Yun Qingqing sighed and walked out.
At the door, Lu'e and Lianxia were huddled together, peeking in, feeling both fearful and curious.
However, because of the calming talisman that Yun Qingqing drew on their palms, the two were obviously more curious. They read it from beginning to end and sighed in low voices repeatedly.
"I never thought that Chen, who looked so fragile and heartbroken, was actually the murderer who killed her husband!"
"Yes, her husband is really pitiful. How could he marry such a vicious woman?"
"The most pitiful one is his son. He lost his mother at a young age, and now he has lost his father before he even reached adulthood. If it weren't for the Pavilion Master's intervention, I'm afraid he would have been killed by Chen in no time."
"That's it... ahem, Pavilion Master!" When the two saw Yun Qingqing coming out, they quickly stopped talking.
Yun Qingqing raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them:
"Why, you're not afraid of ghosts?"
Lu'e touched her head:
"I was actually scared at first, but as I watched it unfold, I felt that... ghosts are no different from humans. They have their own loves and hates, and they don't necessarily want to harm people."
Lianxia also nodded and said:
"That's right. When someone like that Chen harms people, he's much scarier than a ghost."
The two sighed and looked at Yun Qingqing with sparkling eyes:
"...Pavilion Master, is there anything else you need us to do? Just tell us!"
When Yun Qingqing was outside, the task given to the two of them was to stop Young Master Kang Lei and let him hear the conversation between the ghost and Chen outside the door.
The two knew that this task was too easy to complete, and they wished they could be assigned more work so that they could get a good citizenship as soon as possible like Tao Yu.
Yun Qingqing understood their thoughts clearly, shook her head and smiled:
"Have you forgotten the calligraphy I hung in the front hall? When accumulating merit, one must not be impatient. Once one becomes too utilitarian, one can easily go astray and achieve the opposite result."
"Maintaining kindness and treating things with a normal attitude is the right way."
The two men remembered the saying “Just do good things and don’t worry about the future” and nodded thoughtfully.
Lu'e asked again:
"Pavilion Master, you said that Chen will be punished after her death. What kind of punishment will she receive?"
"She committed adultery and murdered her husband. She will be punished in the oil pot hell for at least ten years." Yun Qingqing said calmly.
The two girls' faces turned pale.
"You really can't do bad things. Even if you don't seem to suffer retribution in your life, you will still be held accountable after death."
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"In fact, her deeds were exposed during her lifetime, and being arrested and sentenced was like redeeming part of her sins. If she hadn't redeemed her sins during her lifetime, she would have been sentenced to at least fifty years in prison after her death."
Lu'e and Lianxia were silent.
Yun Qingqing saw the worry in their eyes and softened her tone:
"In fact, your status as a government slave in this life is the result of karma and karmic debt from a previous life. As long as you don't use despicable means to commit evil deeds, your sins will not increase, so there is no need to worry too much."
"In fact, I promised to help you become good people within a year because I have calculated that the amount of sinful debt you have left is very small. As long as you do more good deeds and accumulate good karma, you will soon be able to resolve the karma and live a peaceful life in your next life."
As they listened to her words, their eyes reddened and tears filled their eyes.
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. We will always remember it in our hearts. Just do good things and don't worry about the future!"
Yun Qingqing smiled with relief.
Inside the house, after Kang Yan explained the location of all the family property receipts, Young Master Kang Lei immediately called the servants, tied up Chen Jinmei and reported to the police.
As for the evidence that Chen Jinmei conspired with her adulterer to kill someone, Kang Yan had already informed his son about it. Even if his soul was about to be taken to the underworld by the underworld officials, he was not afraid that Chen Jinmei would not admit it.
The father and son thanked Yun Qingqing profusely and wanted to give her a large sum of money to express their gratitude, but Yun Qingqing confiscated it and only asked them to do more good deeds to fulfill their wish.
It was almost midnight when we left the Kang family mansion.
Yun Qingqing sent Lu'e Lianxia back to Tianming Pavilion. She did not go in again and went straight back to the palace.
The second watch has passed.
When she was almost at the palace gate, she saw a figure sitting in a wheelchair at the door from afar.
He was dressed in a black robe and blended into the night. His handsome face was half bright and half dark, mysterious and lonely.
Yun Qingqing paused as the man walked towards her.
