Chapter 284
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that these two men were ghosts, but in today’s civilized society, few people still believed in spirits and deities.
You glanced at Xian Qianzhong and whispered, "The ones coming up next do something similar to what your sister did; also, if you keep falsely claiming relatives, I will make sure they drag you down."
Xian Qianzhong made an exaggerated face and sat on the sofa without speaking anymore.
The ghost holding the ledger spoke to you politely, "Master Li, if you could please bring me that ghost child."
At this point, the Ghost Man Tong was much more obedient than before, lying quietly in Yang Min’s arms.
You had not expected the ghosts to come for the Ghost Man Tong, and after pondering for a moment, you asked them, "Elder Brother Cha, I want to know, how did you find this place, and what are you going to do with this little thing after you take it away?"
The ghost with the ledger paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "Without hiding it from Master Li, Lord Chenghuang has given my brother and me a secret order. From now on, all the cases that pass through Master Li’s hands will be handed over to us, and that is why we brothers are so diligent, as this is a task assigned by Lord Chenghuang himself."
"Lord Chenghuang? How would he know about me, Li Muyun?"
At this point, you couldn’t help but think of the encounter at the Chenghuang Temple with your mother, and the person who was heard but not seen was very likely the local Chenghuang.
"We brothers are unaware of this matter, as it is beyond our reach and status," said the ghost with the ledger, sensing your concerns, and continued, "Master Li, rest assured, we have come to take this little thing for reincarnation. Even though this little ghost is from overseas, since it has entered China, it naturally falls under our jurisdiction."
