After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

Jindou followed the crowd to a tall mansion. Judging from its exterior, Jindou concluded that it must belong to a wealthy family. Sure enough, he heard people whispering nearby, "Have you heard? It seems that several people in Shangshu Liu's family have also contracted a strange disease."

"Yes, I heard that he was in pain all over his body and was sometimes crazy and talking nonsense, but they couldn't find the cause of the disease. Even the palace doctors came, but they couldn't seem to find the problem and were helpless!"

"Alas, several incidents of this kind have occurred in the capital recently. However, it seems that the situation in the Shangshu family is more serious."

"Yes, yes, do you think there are ghosts haunting this capital? Otherwise, why would such a good person become crazy for no reason?"

A few people were whispering nearby, and Jindou was listening. He suddenly felt something in his heart, and for some reason, he remembered the big black cat he had just seen.

Before he could think, he heard someone whispering, "They're coming out! They're coming out!" The crowd erupted in a commotion. Jindou, like everyone else, looked up and saw several Jinyiwei soldiers emerging from the mansion, forming two lines at the door. Then, someone strode out.

The noisy sound suddenly stopped, and the crowd was so quiet that one could hear everyone's heartbeat.

Jindou looked up and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

I saw the man who had just come out. He was wearing a Feiyu suit, a jade belt around his waist, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and a slender figure. Looking at his face, he had sword-like eyebrows, thin lips tightly pursed, and eyes as cold as a cold pond.

Oh my god! With this kind of looks, if he were in modern times, he would definitely outdo many young and handsome guys in the entertainment industry!

Just as Jindou was sighing, the man suddenly seemed to sense something, and his eyes turned and looked towards Jindou.

Jindou didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that the man's eyes seemed to freeze when they swept over him. In an instant, Jindou felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to his hair.

After calming down, Jindou looked again and found that the man had already withdrawn his gaze, jumped on his horse, and galloped away with the other Jinyiwei.

"Oh my god! I was scared to death!" Jindou patted his chest and thought to himself, it must have been my illusion just now. How could I attract other people's attention with my ordinary appearance?

******

Under the cover of night, around three o'clock in the morning, a figure sneaked to a place not far from the home of Lord Liu, the Minister of Rites, hid behind a house, and secretly looked towards Lord Liu's house.

Yes, this person is Jindou. After hearing the discussions of the neighbors during the day and thinking about the big black cat he saw today, Jindou felt that it was strange and decided to come over secretly to observe.

Zi is the hour of rats, and cats are the natural enemies of rats, so cat ghosts are at their most frenzied at this time. If Jindou's guess is correct, the big black cat should appear soon.

Gusts of cold wind blew, bringing a creepy feeling of coldness.

As dusk deepened, Jindou stared at the Shangshu Mansion ahead, nervous yet a bit excited. Suddenly, an arm rested on his shoulder. Startled, he was about to turn around when someone tapped him lightly, and he instantly lost consciousness.

Youyou woke up and Jindou found himself lying in a room. For a moment, Jindou was a little dazed, but then he jumped up and looked down at his clothes. Fortunately, everything was fine.

"Who, who dares to be silent..." Before Jindou could even utter a word, he heard a loud shout, "How dare you! Kneel down!"

Jindou was startled and looked up to find that there were two other people in the room. The one next to him had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he was the one who had just shouted.

Looking forward, I saw a man behind the desk, with sword-like eyebrows and icy eyes. He was the same man I saw outside the Shangshu Mansion during the day.

Wow! It seems that daytime wasn't an illusion, we've been watched for a long time!

Wei Qing sat behind the desk, looking at the dirty, thin man in front of him who looked like a little beggar. His eyes were rolling around and he looked like he was daydreaming. He couldn't help feeling annoyed, and with a "bang", he slammed the desk with his hand.

Jindou was startled, his legs went weak, and he knelt down uncontrollably.

"Tell me! What's your name? What are you doing outside the Shangshu Mansion tonight?"

"This..." Jindou thought, there were so many people outside the Shangshu Mansion during the day, but this person could recognize us, an outsider, at a glance. It seems that it would not be safe to make up a story in front of this person, so it is better to tell the truth.

Thinking of this, Jindou said hurriedly, "Sir! I am a wandering wanderer who knows a little bit about exorcising demons and monsters. Today, I discovered something strange, so I thought I would go investigate it tonight."

Wei Qing was stunned: "Strange? What's going on?"

"Sir, I found a big black cat today. It looks very strange."

As soon as Jindou finished speaking, the Jinyiwei with thick eyebrows and big eyes beside him couldn't help but say: "How dare you! How dare you make up such a story and use a cat to fool the Lord!"

Wei Qing waved his hand, stopping his men: "Go on!"

"Sir! I suspect it's a cat ghost!"

"Cat ghost?" Wei Qing was shocked.

"Yes! I saw that the cat was much larger than an ordinary cat, and when it walked in the sun, it didn't even cast a shadow on the ground. Therefore, I concluded that it was a cat ghost."

After Jindou finished speaking, he saw that the person behind the case had remained silent, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, I was outside the Shangshu Mansion today and heard from the neighbors that many strange cases have occurred in the capital. I think it is very likely related to the cat ghost!"

After hearing what Jindou said, Wei Qing was stunned for a moment. Recently, strange things have happened in many families in the capital. According to the families of the victims, the women in the family who were originally fine suddenly became crazy for some reason, crying and laughing.

What's even more bizarre is that the family of Lord Liu in the Shangshu Mansion is not only crazy, but also has pain all over its body as if it were being pricked by needles. This has made Lord Liu extremely anxious and worried recently.

When the emperor heard about this, he personally issued an order, ordering the Jinyiwei to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Wei Qing raised his eyes and carefully looked at the person kneeling in front of him. He saw that the person was thin and his face was covered with dirt. No matter how he looked at him, he couldn't see anything special about him.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Qing asked again, "How can you be sure that the incident in the capital was caused by the cat ghost?"

"Sir!" Jindou said hurriedly, "If you can let me go to the Shangshu Mansion and take a look, I can confirm whether it was the cat ghost who did it!"
