Chapter 177: Chapter 176: It’s that Burned Female Ghost! (Second Update, Please Vote)

The tale of the haunted temple has spread for six years, and everyone in the capital city has heard about it!

And this ghost is the female ghost of the Liang Family who was burned to death in the Buddhist hall!

At this moment, this "ghost" in black clothes and hair, isn’t it just the appearance of someone burned to a crisp? Not to mention the damn scorched smell!

Zhang Shicheng was so terrified that his courage shattered!

He kowtowed seven or eight times: "Granny Liang, spare me! Your death has nothing to do with me! There’s always a perpetrator for injustice and a debtor for a debt, please, find the true killer!"

Fu Zhen sneered: "So, you admit that I was murdered."

Zhang Shicheng was stunned.

He looked up again at the figure opposite him, "You, you really are Miss Liang?"

"Who else?" Fu Zhen raised her voice, "Zhang Damazi, don’t you remember how when you blocked the little girl from the Li Family on the road, I gave you a beating as a child?"

Zhang Shicheng widened his eyes, cradling his head wanting to scream, but found himself unable to produce any sound!

"I ask you, why did you kill me?"

"I didn’t kill you, I didn’t kill you! It really wasn’t me!"

"Then why are you so scared? Isn’t it said, ’If you do no wrong, you won’t fear the ghost knocking in the middle of the night’? I haven’t even knocked on your door, just came to have a few words, and you’re this afraid; even if you didn’t kill me, you must have killed someone else, right?"

Zhang Shicheng sat down heavily on the ground, like his neck was clutched and with her words, he immediately suffocated!

"I remember, before I died, someone came to ask me for a dagger, the dagger I picked up beside two corpses, those two corpses, weren’t they the ones you killed?"

"No!"

As soon as the female ghost finished speaking, Zhang Shicheng vehemently denied it!

"I didn’t kill anyone! I really didn’t kill anyone!"

"Then why, after those two people died, were you promoted from the Deputy Commander of the Five City Troops and Horses Department to Camp Guard? Wasn’t it because you became an executioner for others?"

"No! I didn’t kill them! I only kept watch on the alley for them and then helped clear the street!... Their deaths have nothing to do with me!"

Zhang Shicheng swallowed repeatedly, gulping down his saliva.

A moment of silence fell under the eaves, then, "Even if you didn’t kill them with your own hands, you at least know who did it. Who was it?"

"It-it was the Princely Heir!..."

"Yang Zhan?"

"...The Great Zhou only has one Princely Heir nowadays!"

"How did they do it? Why kill them? Who were those two people?"

"I don’t know! I know nothing about these! The people from the Prince Manor have always looked down on me, but that night I was on duty at the government office, suddenly people from the Prince Manor came to find me, telling me to take a few trusted men to White Cloud Alley!

"So I went!

"Upon entering the alley, I ran head-on into the blood-soaked Princely Heir, he was alarmed like nothing else! Muttering that they were dead, they were dead, I asked him who had died? But he wouldn’t tell me even if he had to die!

"Then the Changshi from the Prince Manor told me to drag away the bodies and clean the entire alley! I didn’t dare to disobey, so I told brothers from the government office to guard both ends of the alley, then took my trusted people and cleaned the alley thoroughly!"

"What about the bodies?"

"I-I’ve taken care of them long ago!"

"How did you handle them?"

"Burned, burned them!"

A cold laugh came from under the eaves: "Burned them where?"

"The mass grave outside the city!"

"Quickly! Search everywhere!..."

As soon as Zhang Shicheng said this, a clamor arose from below, followed by many torches and lanterns lighting up!

His mind quaked!

Looking under the eaves, that dark silhouette had unexpectedly vanished!

"General Zhang!..."

Zhang Shicheng scrambled up from the ground! Stumbling and rolling towards the lanterns, he yelled with tearing voice: "I’m here! I’m here!..."

Xu Yin and Yang Zhan, divided into two paths, rushed towards him at the sound!

"Why do you look like this? Where did you come from?"

"I, I just came out of the Spiritual Spring Pavilion! I saw a ghost!"

Xu Yin’s voice tightened: "What ghost? Where’s the ghost from?!"

"It’s, it’s the Liang Family’s female ghost who was burned to death!"

Xu Yin’s heart jolted violently, "What nonsense are you talking?!"

"It’s true! It’s her! Definitely her!"

Zhang Shicheng had already collapsed, repeating those words over and over.

Yang Zhan glanced at the stiff Xu Yin, then also braved chattering teeth, and asked: "What did she do to you? Why are you so petrified?!"

"She asked me about Baiyu Lane, also said that the dagger was what she picked up from Baiyu Lane..."

Before he finished speaking, the lantern in Xu Yin’s hand had already fallen to the ground!

"Impossible! You’re talking nonsense!"

Xu Yin bared his teeth and glared at him, urgently speaking through gritted teeth!

"I’m not lying! That’s what she said! She also knows there were two people dead in the alley, knows I was involved!

"If she isn’t a ghost, if she’s not Liang Ning, how could she know!"

Xu Yin gazed at him, unable to utter a word, only his chest heaved violently.

Every word Zhang Shicheng spoke was irrefutable, indeed, only Liang Ning would know the location of that dagger, and she was the only eyewitness to the bloodshed in the alley. If Liang Ning had not appeared, how else could anyone be aware of these things?

He raised his head, staring dazedly towards the direction of the Buddhist hall, he never believed in ghosts and deities, thus six years ago dared to ignite that fire under the eyes of the Buddha; through these six years, he continuously stepped into the ancient temple without fear!

When the rumor of haunting spread across the capital, he never trembled, for his actions back then were deliberate, thus he had the nerve to face any consequence, even if she was a ghost, even if she truly came knocking, he wouldn’t fear!

Yet she truly appeared, but it was Zhang Shicheng she sought!

"He’s lost his mind!"

Yang Zhan retreated repeatedly, pointing at Zhang Shicheng saying: "He’s gone crazy! Bind him up! Take him back!"

Finishing his words, he turned hastily: "Down the mountain! Report to the Prince! We’re going down the mountain immediately! Swiftly down the mountain!"

Saying while sprinting rapidly downwards, as though a ghost indeed pursued him from behind!

The guards seized Zhang Shicheng, and with a clamor they followed and vanished afar.

Xu Yin watched their retreating backs, standing solitary in the wind, after a moment then turning again to gaze northwest at the Buddhist hall.

"Is it really, you?"

...

Fu Zhen and Liang Chen, Liang Zhi quickly returned to the Zen room, Pei Zhan and Cheng Chili had already greeted them!

"How did it turn out?"

"As expected, it was Yang Zhan who killed, the scene was cleaned by Zhang Shicheng’s men, and the Changshi from Prince Manor was present, which means, Prince Rong also knew about this! They father and son are the main culprits!"

Liang Chen gritted his back teeth as he spoke these words, with a grasp and slam, the tea table was shattered by him!

Pei Zhan looked towards Fu Zhen: "Are you alright?"

Fu Zhen nodded: "I’m fine. But the people from the Prince Manor were just searching all around for Zhang Shicheng, it seems the waters have already been stirred!"
