After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 159 Tabloid
"Many people saw with their own eyes that the body of the eldest son of the Xie family had been carried away by the Jingzhao Prefecture."

"But somehow, the person who was clearly dead showed up at the Xie family the next day, as if nothing had happened."

Guizhi was terrified. "I went to Jingzhao Prefecture to inquire about this matter. It is said that the coroner who was in charge of the autopsy of the eldest son of the Xie family saw with his own eyes that the dead person came back to life. He was so scared that he is still bedridden and unconscious."

She let out a breath and said, "This matter has now spread throughout the streets near the Xie family."

"It's just that the Xie family lives in a remote place. If I hadn't been in the East Market today and couldn't buy corn, I would have walked a few more places to look for it, and I wouldn't have heard these gossips."

Zhao Tan couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "But even if that's the case, at most it can only be said that something is strange, and it may not be related to the Song family's wife."

There was a strange flash in Guizhi's lowered eyes.

She adjusted her mood slightly and said calmly, "I felt the same way at that time."

"But when I passed by the West Market, I heard some gossip."

"It is said that not long ago, a vendor selling roasted Hu pancakes in the West Market encountered some strange things."

"Originally, I was just listening to gossip. If it turns out to be interesting, I will come back and learn from you for fun!"

"I didn't expect that as I listened, I discovered something was wrong!"

"After asking carefully, I found out that the vendor selling roasted Hu pancakes was actually haunted!"

"And this ghost is also acquainted with the Song family's wife. The two of them were chatting and laughing on the street in broad daylight. They were very familiar with each other."

Zhao Tan frowned: "Ghost? How can it appear in broad daylight? Won't its soul fly away?"

"I find it strange too!"

Guizhi said seriously: "I asked carefully and heard many people say so, so I dared to believe it!"

"I heard that there was a young man with the Song family lady."

"That young man was very affectionate and ambiguous, calling the Song family lady the ghost lady!" Guizhi took out a tabloid and said, "If you don't believe me, look, even the low-end tabloids in the market have used this incident to write a strange story."

"Isn't the Madam Lan in this story very similar to Madam Song?"

Zhao Tan took the tabloid with half belief and half doubt, his brows furrowed deeper the more he read it.

This tabloid actually wrote that the female ghost's name was Lan Niang and her original surname was Song.

It is also said that she is a well-behaved lady during the day, but would come out and cause trouble at dusk.

It often attaches itself to Hu pancakes and follows the customers who bought the last two baked Hu pancakes home, killing people at midnight.

"This tabloid wrote..."

Zhao Tan frowned and said, "Did he hear it while he was lying under the bed?"

Guizhi was slightly stunned.

"That's nonsense!"

Zhao Tan snorted coldly: "The truth of the matter is probably not like that. Someone deliberately distorted the facts and pieced together what actually happened."

"Such intentions are really disgusting!"

She frowned and said, "Go, ask the prefect of Jingzhao and the people who are in charge of the Xie family's affairs to come here."

"I have something to ask."

Guizhi was puzzled: "You..." How could you infer so much from a tabloid?
Zhao Tan glanced at her coldly, and Guizhi didn't dare to say anything anymore and quickly lowered her head to agree.

"Slave, go now."
