What imperial henchmen? Please call me Your Majesty!

However, Bai Jinwei had no clues to explore. All that came to mind was the image of courtesans in brothels and the relaxing feeling of being served.

Head down:

"No, that person didn't come."

"That's impossible! Could their information be wrong?"

"Master's wife, could it be that the information was wrong?"

Bai Lian wasn't sure either, since she hadn't actually seen that person, so she couldn't determine whether Bai Jinwei was lying.

……

Su Mu got up early today, and he slept well last night, so he felt very comfortable.

But when they arrived at the Ghost Office, they found no one there. They felt that these people were a little too relaxed.

There was no other way but to go find Lei Yan.

This guy is easy to find; you can detect his presence wherever there's movement.

He naturally went to find them as well.

The Jia family mansion.

Many constables had been waiting at the door for a long time, while Lei Yan was observing from the eaves.

Snapped!

He was tapped on the shoulder and immediately turned around.

He was also puzzled when he saw that it was Su Mu:

"What are you doing here?"

Su Mu watched from the side and was also somewhat puzzled:

"Why are so many people gathered here?"

"Oh, this place? There was a murder yesterday. The investigation led us here. They say the person who instigated it was the steward of the Jia family, but we don't know if that's true."

"Oh, I see."

Now that you mention it, he remembered what he had encountered when he left the city yesterday.

"What are the specific details of the case? Who died? Is that known? What was the grudge?"

"Well, the deceased was named Lin Fugui, from a village called Shaoxiao outside the city. The specific reason is that Lin Fugui used some kind of sweet talk to swindle the Jia family's daughter. Then, I don't know if he was caught and beaten to death or what, and a constable even witnessed it."

Lei Yan said, and then laughed:

"Isn't it strange? It seems like it was our Ghost Bureau people who ran into them. What's even stranger is that someone risked their life to frame them. If it weren't for the Ghost Bureau people, they probably would have succeeded long ago."

Su Mu's expression was somewhat unnatural, but he still nodded:

"Yeah, pretty unlucky."

"Who can argue with that?"

Lei Yan smiled.

Su Mu asked again:

"By the way, do you have evidence and plan to arrest them?"

"No, we can only wait and see if Miss Jia is still in the manor. Although we caught that person, somehow, he died after revealing just a little bit of information. We don't even know how he died."

"Dead?"

Su Mu found this strange. Logically speaking, important clues should never lead to the death of the suspect, otherwise it would cause trouble.

But the current situation is somewhat...

"It's strange, it's like they suddenly encountered something terrifying, and then they just died. In our terms, they encountered someone from the Ghost Bureau and died of fear."

"That's impossible."

Su Mu found it strange. It was clearly a small case, so why did it become so confusing?

And looking at the Jia family mansion.

They could actually detect a faint fluctuation of magical power.

This is because after obtaining the blood of the Holy Lord, his perception of talismans became astonishing; otherwise, he would have had no idea that the talismans were nearby.

Among the twelve talismans, the one that can kill someone under the watchful eyes of many constables can only have one possibility: the soul leaves the body!

Sheep Talisman!

There are sheep talismans in the capital, and they're in the possession of a wealthy merchant?

They watched as the servant opened the door and invited the constable inside, while the others stood guard outside.

Lei Yan was puzzled:

"They already know this, so why make it so complicated? The rules are too rigid."

Su Mu agreed, but didn't say much. Instead, he was thinking that if the sheep talisman was really here, he would have to find out who had it and see if it had been activated.

After waiting for a moment, the head constable came out from inside, pulling out another person with him.

Lei Yan looked at it, puzzled:

"Was it that butler? He committed suicide out of guilt?"

"No, it's not that simple."

Why?

"We can wait here."

After the constables left, Su Mu pulled Lei Yan to the roof of the Jia family's house to investigate the inside story.

However, they hid very well, and Lei Yan knew nothing about them, nor did he know why they were hiding there.

Su Mu heard it clearly.

"That idiot! He can't even get a simple task done properly! He deserves to die!"

His voice was deep and somewhat weathered, clearly the voice of a middle-aged man.

This must be Master Jia.

The talisman is with him?

With...

They directly deployed the Shadow Legion, sending ninjas in to infiltrate.

"Who are you?!"

A little while later...

boom!

The sound of the door being violently kicked open rang out.

This startled Lei Yan as well.

Looking around, I saw several dark figures carrying a person out of the Jia mansion.

"What is this?"

He was puzzled.

Su Mu patted him on the shoulder:

"Let's go, follow them."

"it is good."

The two followed and saw the dark figures disappear when they reached the city wall, only to be seen again when they came closer.

Lei Yan jumped down, but seeing that there was hardly anyone around, he was puzzled:

"What's going on? Did we see a ghost in broad daylight?"

Su Mu did not jump down; he naturally knew the situation and said:

"They've probably left the city; let's leave the city first."

There was no other way; they could only walk through the city gate, they couldn't jump up.

This round trip took up a lot of time, and looking at the forest, they had no idea which way to go.

Lei Yan became puzzled:

How did you know something would go wrong?

"It's obvious that this steward is just a scapegoat; the real culprit is this Master Jia."

"But we don't know where it is now, how do we find it?"

"It must be nearby."

As Su Mu spoke, his gaze also noticed the drifting figure. With the blessing of the Holy Lord's blood, he could sense it very clearly.

The sheep talisman can cause the soul to leave the body, but the body cannot withstand it unless this Master Jia abandons this body and possesses another.

He ordered the Shadow Legion to take the man out of the city and place him somewhere, waiting for Master Jia's soul to return before he would make his move.

The two searched for a while but couldn't find the person.

"Let's split up and search. Maybe it'll be easier that way. You go over there, and I'll go over here. Report back immediately when you find it."

Su Mu gave directions.

Lei Yan saw that Su Mu wanted him to search in a straight line on the other side of the city wall, perhaps even further away, so he nodded.

"Okay, sure."

Seeing that Lei Yan didn't suspect anything, she slowly explored in the direction she had chosen.

At the same time, stealth is activated.

Master Jia, who is floating in the sky, has no ability to locate himself, so he also needs to find his own body so that he doesn't lose it, otherwise he won't be able to live.

Who would have thought that a group of people would appear, intending to fake their death and escape, only to find that they were after their own body.

After floating in the air for a while, I finally found the body lying under a big tree.

After wandering around the area for a while without seeing anyone, I decided to return to my own body.

When he woke up and looked around, he felt a weight on his shoulder as a hand patted it.

Su Mu smiled and said:

"Master Jia, where are you planning to go?"

When Master Jia turned around, he saw Su Mu, the ghost official, and was startled!

"You, you, you..."

Su Mu laughed, grabbed him, and threw him toward the big tree.

boom!

Master Jia bumped into a big tree, feeling a pain in his back and unable to stand steadily.

"Ahem, what exactly do you want?"

"What are you doing? Hand over the stuff, and I'll spare your life."

"What thing? What thing?"

"No?"

He didn't believe it. Since Master Jia's soul could return to its place, it meant that he must be carrying a sheep charm.

So they summoned two more ninjas, one of whom grabbed Master Jia's foot and lifted him up.

I weighed it in my hand; it hadn't fallen.

Another ninja immediately searched the person and pulled out the sheep talisman.

Only then did they put the person down.

The other one gave him the sheep charm.

Su Mu took it, and the essence of the talisman flowed into his body.

Looking at this Master Jia, he said with a smile:

"You used this to kill that guy in the yamen and the steward, didn't you? They were just scapegoats."

"you……"

Steward Jia was on the verge of tears; his belongings had been taken, and he had no way to escape.

Moreover, the other party's statement was accurate; it was indeed he who killed them.

"You'd better go to the yamen and turn yourself in. If you go to that hellish place, your whole family will be in serious trouble. Or are you planning to have all your property confiscated?"

Master Jia knelt down:

"Okay, I'll turn myself in."

"That's more like it, let's go."

Master Jia hurriedly got up and, trembling, tried to find his way back.

Su Mu looked at the sheep talisman in his hand with a helpless expression.

The Ghost Office has all sorts of strange and unusual methods, so even if Master Jia turns himself in, nothing will be exposed.

It came without any effort.

Helpless, he threw the sheep talisman into the air, and a gust of wind blew it away, turning it into ashes and scattering it.

He clapped his hands, then turned and went to find Lei Yan.
