Early in the morning, in front of the Jinyiwei office.

Looking at the tall horse in front of him, Jindou was worried: "Sir! I... I can't ride a horse!"

After hearing this, Wei Qing frowned, turned to Xie Xiaohu and said, "You ride the same horse with him."

Xie Xiaohu, the one with the thick eyebrows and big eyes, was a general of the Jinyiwei. He was disgusted when he heard Wei Qing let Jindou ride on the same horse with him. He reached out to pull Jindou onto the horse while muttering, "Jindou, you have a cheesy name, but you can't even ride a horse!"

As Jindou climbed up, he retorted, "It's a good name. My grandfather said I was the reincarnation of a star god in heaven and that I would be rich and powerful in the future. That's why he gave me this name!"

"Hahaha!" Xie Xiaohu and the other Jinyiwei burst into laughter after hearing what Jindou said. Xie Xiaohu even laughed so hard that he fell backwards: "The reincarnation of the Star God, I think you are more like the reincarnation of a beggar, hahaha..."

Wei Qing, who was listening in front, was inexplicably reminded of his own headache. A flash of pain passed through his mind, but he immediately suppressed it and shouted, "Jinyiwei are joking in the street. How disrespectful! Why don't you catch up!"

"Gee! Gee!" Dust and smoke rolled on the road, and a group of Jinyiwei rushed towards the Shangshu Mansion.

The high walls and red tiled roofs stood tall. When the Jinyiwei arrived at the gate of the Shangshu Mansion, they saw the Shangshu Mansion's housekeeper hurried out to greet them: "Master Wei, please come in, please come in!"

Wei Qing ordered the Jinyiwei to wait outside the door, and then signaled Jindou to follow him into the mansion.

Inside the Shangshu Mansion, one can see pavilions, towers, carved corridors and bridges along the way, and the scenery inside the mansion is extremely beautiful. However, in stark contrast to this beautiful scenery, once you enter the mansion, you will feel a gloomy and oppressive atmosphere everywhere.

Jindou followed Wei Qing, walking forward while feeling the aura around him. He felt that waves of demonic energy were coming from the Shangshu Mansion, and it was exactly as he had guessed.

Lord Liu from the Shangshu Mansion was sitting in the hall. When he saw Wei Qing coming in from afar, he quickly stood up.

Wei Qing approached and saluted: "Master Liu!"

"Master Wei! Please take a seat, please take a seat!"

As soon as the two sat down, Lord Liu said with a worried look on his face, "Lord Wei, I don't know why this unexpected disaster has befallen my family. Now my family is in turmoil. Lord Wei, you must help me find a solution!"

Wei Qing turned to look at Jindou, and saw that Jindou was looking around absent-mindedly. He couldn't help but frowned: "Jindou!"

At this time, Minister Liu also followed Wei Qing's gaze and noticed the golden beans.

"Ah?...Ah!, the villain is here!" Jindou suddenly came back to his senses.

"how?"

"Sir! I want to go to the yard to take a look." Jindou bowed.

The three of them came to the yard. Jindou frowned and looked around. Then he took out a yellow talisman from his arms, held the talisman between his fingers, and began to recite a spell silently.

As the incantation from the Golden Bean's mouth became faster and faster, a huge whirlwind suddenly blew up over the Shangshu Mansion. The whirlwind swirled in the courtyard, stirring up clouds of dust on the ground!

Jindou seized the opportunity and swung the talisman in his hand fiercely into the whirlwind. The moment the talisman touched the whirlwind, a black gas emerged from the whirlwind and headed straight for the three people in the yard.

Upon seeing this, Wei Qing quickly drew his sword and protected Minister Liu. However, Jin Dou remained calm and took out a bronze mirror from his bosom and shone it towards the black air.

When the black energy was reflected by the bronze mirror, it immediately let out a scream and quickly floated away towards the sky above the Shangshu Mansion.

At this time, Minister Liu was so frightened that his eyes were stunned, and Wei Qing's hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

Seeing Jindou put the bronze mirror into his arms, Minister Liu asked tremblingly: "This... this little master, do you know who this evildoer is?"

Jindou bowed and said, "My Lords, the evil spirit causing trouble in the mansion is a cat ghost."

"Cat ghost!" Minister Liu was startled, unable to help but examine the golden bean more carefully. Ever since the incident at the Shangshu Mansion, countless talented individuals had been hired, but all they could tell was that the strange happenings were probably caused by a ghost, but they had no idea what kind of ghost it was. Looking at this person now, he looked ordinary, and there was really no way he could tell he was any different from an ordinary person.

However, on second thought, this person was brought by Wei Qing, so maybe he is really a hidden talent.

"My Lords!" Jindou continued, "Cat ghosts love to harm women and children. Anyone possessed by them will feel cold all over, shivering for no reason, become confused, talk nonsense, and experience pain all over their body as if being pricked by needles."

"Yes, yes! This young master is absolutely right!" Minister Liu said with hope: "I wonder if this young master has any solution?"

Jindou thought for a moment, then said, "My Lords, you must have heard of the saying that cats have nine lives."

Seeing Lord Liu and Wei Qing nod, Jindou continued, "Cats have nine lives. This doesn't mean cats actually have nine lives, but rather that cats have a strong desire for revenge and can remember a grudge for nine generations!"

After pondering for a moment, Jindou continued, "Cat ghosts are all caused by a death so tragic that they carry too much resentment and are unable to reincarnate. Their souls wander the world of the living until they cultivate into demons, and then seek revenge on their former enemies!"

When Lord Liu heard this, he was startled and said quickly, "My dear young master, my family, young and old, has never hurt a cat before!"

After listening to what Lord Liu had said, Jindou couldn't help but look up at Wei Qing. Seeing that Wei Qing also looked confused, he had no choice but to continue, "Lord, I just used the bronze mirror to track down a cat ghost. The cat ghost would have been sealed by the bronze mirror, but its evil spirit was too strong, so it escaped. The greater the hatred a cat ghost has, the stronger its evil spirit becomes. I can only eliminate it if I know the reason why this cat ghost has a grudge against your family."

"This... I've never heard of my family ever having a grudge against a cat ghost!"

Jindou was about to speak again when Wei Qing held out his hand to stop him. "Master Liu, we must be cautious when we hear about the cat ghost. You might as well ask everyone in your family if they have any grudges against the cat ghost before making any plans."

"Alright, alright, today I will thoroughly investigate everyone in the mansion."

Jindou knew that Wei Qing and Lord Liu were still a little skeptical about the cat ghost, but there was nothing he could do. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Sir, for the next few days, you can hang copper coins on the doors of the mansion to temporarily prevent harm from the cat ghost!"

"Copper coins!" Lord Liu and Wei Qing were both stunned.

"Yes, cat ghosts are afraid of copper coins. Hanging them on the door can temporarily prevent them from harming you!"

"However, sir!" Jindou continued, "This method is only a delaying tactic. The demonic energy in the mansion is too strong, and the cat ghost has always been extremely vicious and will never give up. Sir, you still need to make plans early."
