The haunted house on West Street had actually been rented out, and the tenant was a young woman! The neighbors were all wondering how long she would last.
A month passed, and to their surprise, the young woman hadn't been scared off. She had even set up a stall to sell food. What was going on?
Inside the haunted house, a hanged ghost dragged its long tongue around as it cried and washed dishes. A starving ghost stared at the food on the stove, drooling nonstop. A headless ghost held a fan and diligently fanned A Meng.
A Meng took a bite of a peach and said gently, "You all need to work hard and try to get in line for reincarnation soon. I'll give each of you a bowl of Meng Po's Soup when the time comes, and I guarantee you'll forget everything from this life!"
Thinking of the food she'd made before, the ghosts drew in a sharp breath. It looked nice, but tasted horrible. They'd rather die than... No, they'd already died... They'd rather not reincarnate than drink it!
After A Meng's snack stall made customers throw up for the tenth time, the neighbors joined together to report her to the authorities. Cui Jiulang had just taken his seat in court when A Meng immediately said, "The young woman behind you says Li Daniu wasn't the one who killed her!"
Cui Jiulang thought for a while, then asked, "Would you be willing to work for the Qingzhou Prefecture Court, young lady?"
A Meng hesitated for a moment, then sorrowfully gave up her beloved food business and moved on to criminal cases.
"You there, the one who drowned. You're getting water all over the floor!"
"You there, the one who was stabbed. Stop crying, you're going to drip blood everywhere!"
"What? You want to ask the magistrate to find your long-lost sister?"
A Meng was worn out by all the ghosts who came to her seeking justice and decided to quit.
Cui Jiulang said helplessly, "Are you going to leave me behind?"
