After chatting for a while, and having breakfast together at Lin Fengkai's invitation, Lin Yanjiang finally returned home.

"Sir." Li Xiuran hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan also quickly stood up.

Lin Yanjiang glanced at Yang Wenxin and Chi Qingwan, and finally looked at Li Xiuran, and smiled and said, "Why have the time to come today?"

"Dad, Brother Li wants to ask you for help if you have something to do. I have been waiting for a while." Lin Fengkai explained.

Lin Yanjiang looked at him again, and said without changing his face: "What's the matter, just say it."

Li Xiuran pondered for a moment and said, "Yesterday, the Sili sent a mission. An evil ghost committed a crime in Gaoling County. All thirty-six people in Zhao Yuanwai's family were killed. The Sili ordered Lord Yang to lead us to capture him.

However, after investigation, I found out that there was another hidden truth in this case..."

Li Xiuran told him about Xiu'e's experience.

Lin Yanjiang gradually lowered his face and looked at Li Xiuran and said, "Does there be conclusive evidence what you said just now?"

"Time is rushed and I haven't had time to collect it yet, but I have brought back the victim Xiu'e, the victim of this case. If the lord doesn't believe it, you can ask her."

Li Xiuran took out the jade bottle and reminded him again: "But Xiu'e is dead, and now she is only soul left. If you want to see her, you'd better be mentally prepared."

Lin Yanjiang said in a deep voice: "Let her come out."

"Yes." Li Xiuran nodded, raised his hand and opened the bottle mouth. A stream of white smoke rose up, and then turned into a white dress and stood in the hall.

Um?

Li Xiuran looked at Xiu'e's figure and was stunned.

The seven orifices he had seen before were bleeding, his face was pale, his hair was disheveled, and his evil spirit disappeared. Instead, Xiu'e's original beautiful appearance, and even seriously injured by Yang Wenxin, her already pathological beauty image added a lot of delicateness. She looked pitiful, but she didn't have any previous horror.

As long as you can change your appearance, why did you pretend to be a fierce and evil person before? Just to scare us?

Li Xiuran muttered secretly, looking at her and said, "Xiu'e, this is Lord Lin, I'm talking to you. You can tell him if you have any grievances."

Xiu'e looked at Lin Yanjiang, bowed down and cried: "The girl Xiu'e has seen an adult, so she asks her to make decisions for the woman!"

"Get up and talk."

Lin Yanjiang glanced at Li Xiuran, then looked at her and said, "Your experience has been told to me just now, but it is all rumors I have found out, and it is not enough to make sense. Now you will tell me the whole story and listen to me."

"Yes, sir."

Xiu'e got up, stopped crying and began to tell: "The incident began two months ago. That day, I went to the temple with my parents to burn incense and fulfill my wishes. I never thought I would meet Mr. Zhao from the county on the way..."

Xiu'e told him the story from beginning to end.

Lin Yanjiang's face turned pale and he slapped the table: "It's really lawless! The collusion between officials and businessmen and people's lives are taken into consideration. I didn't expect that under the rule of the capital, this would happen before the emperor!

Don't worry, I will report this matter to your personal report and investigate the case to the end. If it is really as you said, I will definitely give you justice!"

"Thank you, sir!" Xiu'e bowed again, sobbing in silence.

...

at the same time.

The residence of Peng Ce, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture.

Sun Pei was waiting anxiously in the main hall. After Li Xiuran and the other two left in the morning, he rushed to the capital and headed straight to Pengce's mansion. Unfortunately, Pengce also had not returned to court, so he could only wait in the main hall. When he was sitting for a long time, he finally saw Pengce entering the house.

Sun Pei hurriedly stood up and greeted him: "Mr. Peng, you are back."

Peng Ce glanced at him, took off his ward and said casually, "Why are you here?"

"The official has something to do and you have to tell the adults." Sun Pei glanced at the maid who came forward to serve Peng Ce's broad clothes, and looked reluctant but stopped.

"You go down first." Peng Ce understood it, changed into casual clothes and sent the maid away, looking at Sun Pei and said, "Tell me, what's so mysterious?"

"I'm afraid the official is in big trouble." Sun Pei said with a bitter face: "I came here today, and I came here to ask for help from the Lord."

Peng Ce's face was slightly darker: "Make the matter clear."

"Yes, yes, yes." Sun Pei hurriedly said: "A few days ago, a merchant under Xiaguan's rule was murdered by an evil ghost, and the whole family was killed. The evil ghost was originally the concubine he snatched home. Because he was pregnant, he was jealous of his wife, so he poisoned her and murdered her.

The concubine died with her eyes closed and turned into a ghost, which led to this case."

Peng Ce frowned and said, "What's your business?"

Sun Pei said with a bitter face: "The official was in a short while and misbelieve the words of the merchant. He sentenced him to falsely accusations of his parents who sued him for robbing the civilian daughter. He also beat him a slaughter. As a result, the two of them couldn't resist and were beaten to death."

Peng Ce's face darkened and he looked at Sun Pei and said, "Are you inadvertent? Did you take his money?"

If I don’t accept me, I will not be able to give you filial piety... Sun Pei complained with a wry smile and said, “The officials are confused for a while.”

"What you said is that you are afraid that the concubine will seek revenge on you?" Peng Ce frowned.

"It was before, but I'm afraid it's not now."

"What does this mean?"

Sun Pei smiled dryly and said, "The concubine was very powerful after she turned into a ghost. The subordinate could not hold him, so she reported the matter to the Demon Suppressing Division. She originally wanted to use the Demon Suppressing Division's hand to get rid of her.

Who would have thought that the Demon Suppressor sent someone to come, but those people acted too strangely. They first told the lower officials that they wanted to search for the evil ghosts and drew half of the yamen runners from the lower officials, which led to the lower officials' guards who were originally used to guard against the evil ghosts and led her out.

Then, while surrounding her, she forced her to run away, but she couldn't catch up. There must be something strange about it!

The lower officials suspected that they probably knew the truth, and the female ghost did not escape at all!"

"You mean... they captured the female ghost and knew the truth, but deliberately concealed you?" Peng Ce glanced at him and frowned and said, "What you said is that they suspect that they want to bring the female ghost back to Beijing to sue you?"

"That's true!" Sun Pei nodded repeatedly.

"Damn it!" Peng Ce glared at him and said angrily: "If you want to get rid of her, why can't you hire a master? Why should you alarm the Demon Suppression Department?"

Sun Pei also regretted it: "Who did the Xiaguan know when the people in the Demon Suppression Department became so smart. After going there for a long time, the matter was found out, and he also liked to meddle in other people's business.

The Demon Suppression Department does not care about the prison. If they really want to take the female ghost back to Beijing to complain, they will definitely not be able to escape from the government office or the Ministry of Justice. Please take the respect of the officials in the past, so you must cover up the officials for a while."

As he said that, he saluted Peng Ce solemnly.

"Get up."

Peng Ce pondered: "You don't have to worry about me. I'm talking to the Ministry of Justice and will say hello to you later.

But there are not only government offices and the Ministry of Justice that can be sued in the capital, but I can’t do anything else.”

"I am so grateful to you, so thank you for your protection." Sun Pei was immediately overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.
