C165 Second Mandate

Fourth brother, fifth brother and Bai Jing all had heavy expressions on their faces. Qi Mo on the other hand, was fine, he was only here to join in the fun of the fight, so he didn't pay much attention to the investigation, but kept adding fuel to the fire.

"Killing four people in a row … it seems like he has a lot of resentment and is quite troublesome to deal with." I muttered.

It seemed that the evil ghost was getting stronger and stronger by absorbing people's spiritual energy. However, as it killed more and more people, its resentment would also increase. It could possibly go berserk and kill until its eyes turned red.

I have already finished eating the steamed buns in my hand and carefully examined the dead bodies, but other than the evil spirits, there was nothing else. It seems that I can only use the Soul Summoning Incense at night when I return to try to find out who the culprit is.

"How could it be so strange? There really is no clue at all." Fourth Brother looked around for a while and then scratched his head.

I took advantage of the moment when I was looking at the corpse beside me to secretly put the handkerchief in the dead body's hand into my sleeve. I could only attract her soul with the dead body.

After I finished what I wanted to do, I lost my interest in staying inside. Seeing a few people looking at the corpse with interest, I, the rogue, left the room and went outside to bask in the sunlight.

When I was inside, I felt a chill spreading from the bottom of my feet. When I came out to bask in the sun, the chill was gone, and it was still somewhat comfortable. I felt warm all over.

"Why did you run out? Are you scared?" Qi Mo also came out, and came to my side.

"I just feel like it's meaningless to read it all over again." I curled my lips.

"Oh right, when are your wines good? Don't forget to share some with me."

"You sure have a good memory. Have you ever seen a house that soaks wine so quickly?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Have I seen anyone making wine before?"

"Okay, don't worry. After all, you've helped me so many times. As for me, I'm a person who will repay favors no matter what, so I definitely won't forget about you if there's anything good."

"Satisfying." Qi Mo happily blinked his eyes and cheered.

"Don't use your eyes to wink at me, I won't take your trick."

"Who do you think did this?" Qi Mo asked me. Didn't you hear what the coroner said? People can't do it. In my opinion, it's more like a ghost. " I whispered.

"Do you really believe that there are ghosts in this world? You're so bold, yet you don't seem like the kind of person to believe these things." Qi Mo looked at me in disbelief.

"I didn't believe it in the past, but after experiencing it, I believed it."

"Sometimes, I feel like you're just a naive little girl who doesn't know anything about the world. Sometimes, I feel like you've already experienced a lot. You're so mature, so who would be the real you?" Qi Mo looked at me and said seriously.

"What are you two talking about?" Before I could open my mouth, Fourth Brother came out and asked while looking at us.

"It's nothing. They're just talking about life." I said flippantly.

"Alright, let's go back. I've seen enough of them. Today is really a bad day. When do you think this case will end?" Fourth and Fifth Brother complained. Fifth Brother also had a helpless look on his face. Bai Jing still maintained his indifferent elegance, as if everything had nothing to do with him. At the same time, it was as if everything was under his control.

We each got on the carriage and headed back to the manor. As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw a crowd of people gathered around the door. The butler was eagerly awaiting his arrival. As soon as he saw us.

"Butler, what's wrong? Why are there so many people?" I got off the carriage first and asked.

"Miss, you've finally returned." The housekeeper excitedly grabbed my hand and smiled as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

"Did something happen in the manor?" Bai Jing also got out of the car. He looked very calm and collected.

"Your Highness, someone has come from the palace to announce the imperial edict. They've already been waiting for a while. If you don't return soon, then that official who carried out the imperial edict will return." The butler danced in joy.

"Tell me what it is."

"No, just say that it's a good thing, and that Miss is definitely here."

"What does it matter to me?" I pointed at myself, stupefied.

Bai Jing remained silent and thought for a while before pulling me along to enter. Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother followed closely behind us as a group of people hurried to the main hall.

Arriving at the main hall, he saw a fat man sitting there drinking tea. However, the hand he used to hold the tea cup was raised with blue and white fingers, moreover, his skin was very white, whiter than a normal man's. His face was also fair and clean.

"Your Highness, you really made me wait." Seeing us come in, the father-in-law put down his teacup and said hoarsely, with an ugly goose voice and a strange air.

Bai Jing coldly gave him an expression as if he had something to say. His father-in-law was thwarted, but immediately changed into a smiling face.

He picked up the imperial edict and read it out loud, "I am under the blessing of the heavens, the imperial edict." He purposely dragged out the last few words for a long time, causing everyone to kneel down. Of course, except for Bai Jing, no one had a strange expression on their face. Calm down, except for me.

I thought to myself, Bai Jing is also so willful, he doesn't even kneel when he sees the imperial edict, aren't he afraid of being talked about by others? I secretly glanced at my father-in-law, but I didn't expect him to have such a calm face without any displeasure.

"Xiang Yuxing is the younger sister of the Great General of the Country and also Prince Rong's adopted younger sister. He is dignified, steady, intelligent and intelligent. The father-in-law finally finished reading the imperial edict with his goose voice.

After that, he closed the imperial edict and passed it to me. Although I was unwilling, I still accepted it with a smile, before kowtowing to express my gratitude. "Thank you, Your Majesty. Long live and long live our Emperor." Then I stood up.

"Then, I shall congratulate you here." That father-in-law fawned on me.

I replied to them politely before finally leaving. I looked at the items they brought and said that they were bestowed by the Emperor. I secretly rubbed my hands. The items that they bestowed were naturally of the highest quality and would definitely be worth a lot of money.

I opened a box. It was a jade green jade ruyi. I weighed it in my hand. It was really heavy. My heart was filled with joy. It must be worth a lot.
