When the female ghost saw her attack coming, she dodged it erratically, then made her hands into claws and attacked Zheng An Ning.

How could Zheng An Ning let her have her wish? He quickly grabbed her arm, lifted her up and roughly slammed her to the ground like a hammer. Every time he hit her, the negative energy disappeared a bit.

"Humph, I asked you to act ugly to scare me. I spoke to you in a nice way, but you didn't listen and insisted that I use force."

"What's the matter? If you have grievances, go and seek revenge, go to the underworld and file a complaint, why are you taking it out on others?

Did they owe you money? Did Mrs. Zhao steal your boyfriend? Or did the general cheat on you?

The female ghost was hit on the head and felt dizzy. She screamed miserably. At first she could still curse, but later she had no strength left and could only beg for mercy in a low voice.

"Sir, I was wrong, please let me go, please."

"Woo woo~ woo woo~"

After hearing her begging for mercy, Zheng An Ning had no choice but to stop panting, shook his sore arms, and sat down on the stone table in the pavilion. "Tell me, what happened? Why did you get on Madam Zhao's body?"

The female ghost was kneeling in fear at this moment, and the ferocious expression on her face was no longer there.

That handsome face was now bruised and swollen.

"My Lord, I didn't do it on purpose. I don't know why I followed this lady."

Zheng An Ning raised his eyebrows. Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, he could only say, "I see that you don't have any sins of killing. I'll send you to reincarnate."

"No, I don't want it, sir. I still want revenge. Sir, please help me."

"Help you, why should I help you? You can vote or not, just don't do evil."

"Sir, I..."

As she spoke, the ghost started to cry sadly, with bloody tears flowing from her gloomy eyes, "Sir, I know you are high-ranking officials, but I was originally an actor in the Liyuanchun Opera House in the capital, and my nickname was Nishang."

Zhao Qingbai exclaimed, "You are Nishang, the famous Kyoto, the pillar of Liyuanchun, Nishang? How did you die?"

Nichang wiped the blood and tears with her sleeve and said, "Yes, I was murdered."

Zheng Anning was a little surprised. She had never heard of this Liyuanchun. "Is it famous?"

Zhao Qingbai said hurriedly: "She is very famous. I don't know how many people in Beijing want to listen to her singing. It's hard to invite her. Even my mother likes to watch her opera."

Zheng Anning looked at him suspiciously, "Then why didn't you recognize him before?"

Zhao Qingbai scratched his head. "I didn't dare to look at her before. Besides, doesn't she usually wear makeup when performing?"

Zhao Wuwei slapped his son on the head in anger, "You little bastard, I'll teach you a lesson and keep fooling around every day."

Seeing that the Zhao family father and son had heard it, Nishang hurriedly begged them, "General, please help me, I was killed by that Prince Xiao."

"Ha, Prince Xiao?"

Zhao Wuwei and his son were both shocked and looked at each other. It was him?

Only Zheng Anning was confused. "Who is Prince Xiao?"

Zhao Qingbai said with a strange look: "He is the son of the Duke of Zhenguo. The Xiao family is the empress dowager's maternal family, and he is quite favored by the empress dowager."

[Duke Zhenguo? Sounds familiar.]

Zheng Anning looked at Nishang curiously, "Then how did he harm you?"

With tears in her eyes and full of resentment, Nichang told the story that she was the most famous pillar of Liyuanchun. She was very popular because of her good singing and good looks. Even the ladies of wealthy families liked to support her, especially the young masters. Some of them had intentions towards her and even wanted to take her as a concubine.

She rejected them all, but the result was not what she wanted.

Prince Xiao took a fancy to her and wanted to marry her into his palace, but she didn't want to, so he forced her to marry him.

He had people spread rumors to destroy her reputation, even in public, saying that he had an affair with her. For a moment, she was speechless, and everyone advised her that she should be sensible and become someone else's concubine.

But is it that easy to be a concubine? I don't know how many concubines Prince Xiao has taken in.

Besides, she already has a lover, so why should she lower herself to be someone's concubine? A concubine is no different from a slave.

Everyone forced her to go on stage, even Liyuanchun refused to let her go on stage, and some even advised her to offer herself to the emperor as soon as possible, saying that it was her blessing that Master Xiao fell in love with her.

Just when she was planning to elope with her lover Xue Lang, someone discovered her and secretly tripped her up.

Prince Xiao was waiting for them on the road they had to take. He also had Xue Lang taken away by someone. She didn't even know whether he was dead or alive.

And when Prince Xiao forced her, she was accidentally beaten to death by him.

After she died, she went to seek revenge on them, but they had the help of an expert, and she was nearly beaten to death, and she managed to escape with great difficulty.

She was so angry. She didn't do anything, but they forced her into a desperate situation.

Zheng Anning stroked his chin and asked, "Why didn't you go to the Dali Temple to report to the police at the beginning?"

"Sir, how can the Dali Temple care about a woman like me?"

Zheng Anning looked at Zhao Wuwei and the others inquiringly, "What do you think?"

Zhao Wuwei and his son looked at each other and shook their heads, "We don't know about this."

Zhao Wuwei's face was serious, with a hint of fear in his eyes, "We can't control this matter. First, we have no evidence, and Miss Nishang has been dead for a long time. I'm afraid she has destroyed her body long ago."

Zhao Qingbai also thought this was true, and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was quite favored, and even the emperor had to respect him.

[System, is there any news about the Zhenguogong Mansion? ]

[No, host, but there is a melon about her lover]

[What lover? ]

Zheng An Ning was a little confused. Whose lover was it? The mighty general's?

[The host is this Nishang. Her lover is not dead. He was the one who betrayed Nishang. That’s why Prince Xiao knew that they were going to elope.]

[Tsk tsk, I didn't expect Nichang to be so miserable. She is still thinking about her lover even after she became a ghost, and her lover stabs her in the back.]

what?

Zhao Wuwei and his son were also very shocked. They never expected that everyone would betray Nishang.

Zheng Anning had a sly smile on her face. How could she let such a scumbag get away with it? She had a good idea.

Zheng Anning said to Nichang with a righteous look on his face: "Are you sure your lover is dead? Or did he betray you?"

Nichang was furious when she heard this, "Sir, although you are very powerful, you cannot slander my Xue Lang."

"Why are you so angry? If your Xue Lang is really not dead, won't you go see him?"

Zhao Qingbai also agreed, "Yes, you can find out if you look for it."

Even Zhao Wuwei, who was holding his wife, nodded in agreement.

That’s right, his wife was unconscious, and he could only hold her in his arms and place her on a stone bench, but he was afraid that she would catch a cold.

Seeing that things were almost done, he hurriedly asked Zheng Anning to help take a look, "Niece, please help take a look at my wife."

Zheng Anning glanced at Mrs. Zhao and said, "Don't worry, she's fine. She just has too much Yin in her body. She will be fine after wearing a Yin-repelling talisman, getting more sun and resting."

Zhao Wuwei nodded in thanks, because he couldn't free his hands, "Thank you, niece."

Zheng Anning stretched lazily and said, "Give me the money you think you can give me. It can't be less."

After saying that, Zheng Anning planned to go back, but then he realized that he didn't know the way. "Well, can you send someone to take me back? I don't know the way."

[I absolutely cannot let anyone know that I have a poor sense of direction. I will just say that I just returned to Kyoto and I am not familiar with the roads.]

Zhao Wuwei kicked his son's butt and said, "Why don't you make arrangements?"

When Nishang saw Zheng An Ning was about to leave, she hurried to follow her. It seemed that she was going to rely on her, and Zheng An Ning didn't want to pay attention to her.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
