Detective Ghost Empress

Thief? What thief? It was after a long time did they realise that Liu Hui Ying was actually talking about the thief who stole the money from the warehouse of the Liu family, she was still hung up on that matter. They all thought that it was over!

" Are you still unwilling to give up that money?" Li Gang asked realising that he was not in trouble he pulled himself up and no longer hid behind Jia Li like a coward.

" Of course I am," Liu Hui Ying scoffed as she turned to look at Li Gang as if he was an idiot. " That was my money and someone stole it, surely they will have to pay for it."

Grandma Lan Fen who was quiet till now suddenly spoke up as she looked at Liu Hui Ying and then stated in a low voice, " But that warehouse belonged to the previous owner of that body——"

Bang!

A loud smack echoed inside the carriage which caused the four ghosts including Xiao Lin who was riding on top of the carriage to flinch along with the driver as they all turned to look at Liu Hui Ying who sneered and then spoke coldly, "Oh yea,? Who is the one who is taking care of the mess she left behind?

If not for her, I would be living in my condo which was full of luxury and living a wonderful life without a problem! It is because of her that I have to stay in this world and suffer! Do I not deserve any compensation for that ?"

As Liu Hui Ying spoke her voice turned more and more annoyed as she turned to look at Grandma Lan Fen and then retorted in a cold voice, " The number of cases that I have solved for this world for free could have made me a millionaire in my own world, do not forget. And to top it all," she picked up the heavy skirt that she was wearing and waved it in front of the ghosts. " Do you see this?

Do you even know how heavy it is? I feel like my waist is going to snap in half because of this thing. That money was my compensation but because of some bastard …son of a bitch … jerk…."

Even though the five ghosts were long dead they could still feel a chill crawl up their spines, they all huddled together to ignore the snow storm which was heading their way and joined their hands in prayer as they muttered,

' Dear lord, we might be dead but this is no reason for you to abandon us.'

On the other hand, in the carriage where Zhai Tianyu was sitting together with Ji Yu, the latter could not help but shiver as he rubbed his arms and then turned to look out of the carriage. Though he did admit that it was cold, winter was yet to come so why was this chill riding up his spine?

…..

The small caravan returned to the imperial palace after six hours of continuous journey.

As soon as they all returned to the imperial palace, Ji Yang who did not wish to leave any strings untied immediately submitted a report which said that he wanted Qin Mo Han to pay for his life, in his report he mentioned in detail how the latter had made two innocent women suffer and die with regrets and to make it impossible for Zhao Tianyu to ignore the memorandum he didn't even think twice before pulling the queen in the mess as well.

When Zhai Tianyu finished reading his memorandum after a long and relaxing bath, he could not stop the twitching of his lips as he turned to look at Zhai Heng who was nursing a bad headache.

" Are you all right?" Zhai Tianyu asked as he looked at his brother who shook his head and replied, "I am not fine at all, with concubine Qin's death, the power in the palace had once again become unstable.

Many officials wish to push their daughters into the palace while many want to make use of this opportunity and make it certain that it will be their daughter who will sit in the same position as concubine Qin after gaining the same power and control as the latter did."

" Do you have any idea how many letters I traced and copied as soon as I returned? I did not even get a chance to take a bath because they were on the move as soon as they set foot in the imperial city."

Zhai Heng's identity as vice commander was not only tricky but he was also the only one who was well respected and trusted by Zhai Tianyu which was why he was the one who had to keep track of most of the letters which went in and out of the palace.

" It must have been hard," Zhai Tianyu looked at the letters which were copied but then his gaze fell on a crooked set of characters and he immediately picked it up to see whose letter it was, only to find that it was Liu Hui Ying's! What was she writing a letter for?! And to whom?

" Who did the queen write a letter to ?" Zhai Tianyu asked as he turned to look at Zhai Heng who scoffed and then said with a sympathetic smile on his face, " The Queen wants to find out how the thieves who stole from her warehouse looked, it seems that she is quite angry with the amount of money we stole."

That was indeed the truth because the second Zhai Tianyu opened the letter and read it, he realised that there was a string of words which were nothing but curse words and all of them were used to honour him and Zhai Heng.

His eyebrows throbbed as he looked at Zhai Heng and then turned to look at the letter once again he pursed his lips and then said, " I have a feeling that if we get caught, the queen will snap our necks."

" Our necks? I am sure that she will snap our spine and fold it into halves if she was to find out that we were the thieves."
