The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 82 Your Son is Your Lover's Son
"Is there any uncle willing to go down to the lotus pond and fish out the body? Anyone who helps will be rewarded ten taels of silver."

The people of Kyoto had long been disgusted with Fan Mingju's seduction of girls, but due to Fan Jincong's identity, they could not report him.

Now with Xie Lan stepping forward, offering a reward, and also an imperial censor, someone quickly went into the water and fished the body out.

Seeing the bodies that were soaked beyond recognition, Censor Chen's face was serious, "Miss Xie, let someone go to the Dali Temple to report to the authorities."

Censor Chen was brought here by the guards and did not know the specifics of the matter. On the surface, he asked Xie Lan to send someone to report to the Dali Temple, but his words were actually addressed to the person hiding in the dark.

Xiao Jin stood on the tree with his hands behind his back, rubbing his fingers twice, then turned his head and instructed Yang Feng, "Go to the Dali Temple and ask the Dali Temple Minister to send someone to deal with it.

Also, tell the Dali Temple that if the Dali Temple cannot understand this case, the Ministry of Justice does not mind taking over."

"Yes, sir." After all, there were more than a dozen lives at stake. Yang Feng knew that even if he was not helping Miss Xie, Xiao Jin would not stand idly by.

Fan Jincong didn't know that a disaster was about to happen.

"Sir Chen, please move aside and talk." Although Censor Chen was an upright person, at this point, they could only think of ways to bribe him.

As long as he was willing to turn a blind eye and not make a big deal out of it, Fan Jincong believed that he could suppress the matter by using more tricks.

"There is nothing that cannot be said to others. If Fan Sicheng has anything to say, please say it here."

Fan Jincong said all the nice things he could, but unfortunately Censor Chen refused to listen.

Xue could only step forward, "Master Chen, the Imperial Concubine..."

Imperial Concubine Xue was Xue's elder sister. Xue brought her out, thinking that Censor Chen would certainly give her some face. However, before she could finish her words, the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple entered Fan's house with a group of yamen runners.

Fan Jincong could no longer remain calm, and his forehead was suddenly covered with sweat.

"Sir, why are you here?"

"Don't you have any idea how I got here?" The Dali Temple Minister suppressed his anger, pointed at the dozen or so corpses, and shouted with gritted teeth.

"My Lord, have you misunderstood? These maids all died of illness. I originally instructed the housekeeper to bury them properly, but I didn't expect the servants to be lazy and sank the bodies into the lotus pond.

This matter was neglected by me, sir, rest assured, I will have the bodies of these maids reburied properly."

Xue also stepped forward with a smile and apologized, "It's all my fault for not being a good housekeeper. That's why the servants under me pretended to obey but actually disobeyed, causing misunderstandings. I was also deceived by the matchmaker. I didn't expect that the maids I bought were in such poor health.

It was my fault for being careless. I thought those maids caught a cold and it was just a minor problem that they would recover after taking a few doses of medicine. I didn’t expect it to be so serious. Those maids didn’t survive and lost their lives.”

"What maids? These girls were obviously tricked back by your son Fan Mingju and then killed by his concubines. Xue, you are lying with your eyes open. The souls of those girls are watching us now. Aren't you afraid that they will seek revenge on your family?"

Xie Lan's words sounded eerie, and Liu Xiangxiang and several concubines suddenly felt as if a cold wind was blowing around them. Even Xue couldn't help but feel panicked.

Fan Jincong shouted angrily, "My son is innocent and has never harmed any girl. Stop playing tricks here."

Pretending to be a ghost?

Who is she looking down on? Her mysterious skills have been praised by all the ancestors.

Xie Lan took out a stack of soul-calling talismans, waved his hand, and the talisman paper ignited without wind. He quickly recited a spell and threw the talisman paper towards the corpse on the ground.

Just as he was about to summon the ghosts of the girls, the parrot that had not been seen for many days appeared out of nowhere, stood on the treetop, and shouted towards the lotus pond, "Girls, come out to meet the guests."

This sudden shout made Xie Lan lose his footing and he almost forgot the magic formula in his hand.

She raised her head and glared at the parrot unhappily. It would have been fine if the fat parrot had just snatched her words, but it also spread its wings and pinched its throat. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought she was the madam of a brothel, calling for the girls there to come out for customers.

"Oh, which brothel did this parrot run out from? Its beautiful voice almost made me think it was the madam." Seeing someone looking at him in surprise, the parrot became more excited.

"Sir, come and play. Whether you want to listen to music or drink, I will accompany you."

If she lets this parrot continue to tease her, how can she summon the soul?

Xie Lan glared at it threateningly, and when it shut up, he made another hand gesture.

"You were blind and had no idea of ​​people when you were alive. You lost your life at a young age. You are lucky to have met me today. Now I will give you a chance to take revenge.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and you should look for the one who killed you. Do not harm the innocent, or I will kill you."

These girls were murdered and their bodies were drowned in rivers, and they were filled with resentment.

Xie Lan summoned so many ghosts at once, and was worried that they might hurt the people who were watching the fun, so he had to give them a beating.

Originally, Xue and the concubines were really afraid that they were haunted by ghosts, but after being interrupted by Parrot, they concluded that Xie Lan was just swindling.

Unexpectedly, a gust of cold wind blew, and more than a dozen female ghosts came out from the corpses and rushed towards Xue and the others.

The common people who were watching the show were so frightened that their legs went limp, and Fan Mingju and his concubines were so terrified that their faces turned pale.

They all wanted to escape, but were entangled by those dozen ghosts.

Soon someone was frightened out of his wits and begged for mercy, "Don't kill me, it's my fault. You didn't cheat on me, I stole your bellyband and made Fan Mingju think you had an affair with the servant, so he beat you to death."

"Miss Huang, it wasn't you who drugged me and killed the baby in my belly. I accidentally fell and had a miscarriage. I shouldn't have wronged you. Please spare my life."

"Fan Mingju, you used sweet words to marry me and deceived me out of my innocence, but you took me as a concubine and allowed your favorite concubine to poison me to death. You are a heartless and unfaithful man."

"Ms. Xue, you clearly knew that it was your son who took me as his concubine, but you slandered me for seducing your son.

When my brother came to see me, not only did you let the guards break his legs, you also asked that crooked official Fan Jincong to take him to the Dali Temple jail and beat him to death.

You all are worse than animals, you all deserve to die!"

The Dali Temple Minister was very angry. His subordinates were so disregarding of human life, which was a slap in his face.

"Come here, take Fan Sicheng, Xue, Fan Mingju, and all the concubines to the Dali Temple to await trial."

Fan Jincong's face was ashen, and he knelt down, "Please show mercy, sir. I didn't know about these things. He is innocent. Please spare his life. If there is any punishment, I am willing to bear it."

"It's very touching that Fan Sicheng loves his son, but unfortunately, you protected the wrong person. Fan Mingju is not your son, he is the son of your lover, Fan Guanjia, and your wife."

The scene was deathly silent.

The parrot, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly raised one of its wings and pointed at Fan Jincong and laughed, "Ha, you've been cheated on. Your son is the son of your lover."
