Chapter 12: Identifying the Wrong Man
The Nanmu coffin is not a difficult task, as long as I still suppress it with elm eyes, it can save the old gentleman from sin.
But this horse is in the coffin! No matter who this person is, how can he guarantee to raise the value of the old gentleman!
You must know that if the person who raises his value is not recognized, he will be "dug up by the devil."
To put it bluntly, raising the price is almost the same as taking luck, and the old man is not a dignitary, I don't think there are conditions to be promoted to a nobleman, so the old man himself can't suppress the whole nobility, and it will attract wandering spirits and wild ghosts from all over the world to fight.
When the time comes, the tomb will collapse, the coffin will be shattered, needless to say, the death of the old man who failed to raise his body will be peaceful, and those of us who presided over and participated in the relocation of the grave will suffer from disasters, especially Wang Xiangwen, it is estimated that if the old gentleman returns to his soul, he may die violently on the spot.
I was immediately furious, and I returned to Wang Xiangwen angrily, and after entering the door, I didn't care if he had any power or not, and asked directly: "Who gave you the idea!"
Wang Xiangwen looked at me, his eyes were full of depth, and he showed a reckless expression that was different from before, and directly let the people around him out.
"Nanmu coffin you brought, I think you want to give the best to your adoptive father, so I thought of using the "elm eye" to help you, but what is the matter with this horse driving the coffin?" I looked directly into Wang Xiangwen's eyes, knowing that I had always misseen Wang Xiangwen, I thought he was that impulsive character, so I found a way to help him, just a look made me immediately understand that he is not that kind of person, it seems to be pretending.
"Mr. Bai, what do you want to do?" Wang Xiangwen actually had a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Switch to using pigs, sheep, cows, and chickens to carry the coffin, without raising the value, I have a way to help you, step by step, and it will be effective in three years at the latest. "I immediately put my mind to it.
"Little Brother Bai, I didn't look down on you at the beginning, but now I know that you are not deeply involved in the world, do you know that if you are powerful, you will hope for power, and if you pretend to be a reckless man for too long, you will become a real reckless man, three years is too short, I only have three months!" Wang Xiangwen said with a firm face.
Only then did I understand what Wang Xiangwen had done, he said that he had dropped out of school since he was a child, so although he was powerful, he couldn't fight for power, he was also a smart man, and the desire in his heart was swollen and he wanted to help himself through other methods.
And the kind of gangster temperament he showed in front of his brothers was actually pretended, which shows the depth of this person's scheming.
And how could he not know the consequences after learning about this method, but for the sake of the desire in his heart, he decided to give it a try.
After listening to this, I immediately felt a feeling of disgust in my heart, I didn't even want the coffin nails anymore, I just wanted to get out of here.
Wang Xiangwen seemed to feel my retreat: "You have received all the deposits, or stay to help me, if I succeed, I will double your honorarium, and I have already prepared!"
I really wanted to leave with a flick of my sleeves, and it was really unpleasant to be tricked like this, but I thought of those people outside the door.
Grandpa said that I was not suitable to be Mr. Bai because I was not decisive and because I was too kind-hearted.
Thinking that those people don't know at all, if Wang Xiangwen fails, maybe I will go back to my grandfather and the fat man's misfortune will have a chance to stop it, Wang Xiangwen deserves it, I won't care about him at all, what about Zhang Wei, even grandpa can't save everyone.
I suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, and said viciously to Wang Xiangwen: "You are so ruthless!"
Wang Xiangwen took out a wad of money from his handbag and put it on the table: "Thank you, Mr. Bai!"
I was about to go out with my feet raised, but as soon as I arrived at the door, I stopped walking, came back and took away a wad of money on the table, and secretly scolded in my heart: This is what Lao Tzu deserves!
After I went out, the fat man who was waiting outside the door with Zhang Wei was shocked when he saw my Tie Qing's face, because I had never been so angry as I was now.
"What's the matter? no, let's stop it!" the fat man whispered to me.
"Don't do it? I won't do it after the deposit has been collected! This Wang Xiangwen is not a good thing!" I scolded a few words, and then told the fat man what Wang Xiangwen was doing.
"Then tell everyone quickly, let everyone leave!" the fat man was a little anxious.
I grabbed the fat man who was going out to report the news, and handed him a wad of money in my hand: "Fat man! Grandpa keeps saying that you have to have a heart when you go out!
"What do you mean?" the fat man looked puzzled, but calmed down a lot after taking the wad of money.
"This is the hush money that Wang Xiangwen gave me! Although I am young, I am not stupid! Do you think it is of any use for us to go out and report the news? Not to mention whether they believe that their boss is such a person, even if they believe it, what should we do if we provoke such a person? I don't have the prestige around like my grandfather, I have just started to be Mr. Bai, and it is estimated that there is not enough for people to drink a pot just by relying on the two of us. I calmed down and said.
"Even if we leave, he will move the grave tomorrow, if it fails, we will inevitably be in trouble, and we both know that we took this job, after leaving, if something goes wrong, won't it fall on our heads, Mr. Bai's reputation will be ruined, and grandpa will not be angry! The most important thing is that if I can't solve it, these people will suffer, I can't bear it!"
We are brothers, and I can't lie to him, so I have to make it clear that the good is bad.
The fat man didn't say anything, pondered for a while, raised his head and said to me, "I feel like all this money is going to be less!"
I patted the fat man on the shoulder, and it was all in plain sight.
At this time, Wang Xiangwen also walked out, and hurriedly came over after seeing me: "Mr. Bai, I'll introduce you to a helper, but it's a very powerful person, if I had this skill before, I ....... with others that time."
I glanced at Wang Xiangwen coldly, and I felt very disgusted, this person actually pretended to be the same as someone who was fine!
The fat man dragged me, and then I came back to my senses, looked at the people around me looking at me suspiciously, and gritted my back molars and said with a smile: "Okay!"
The fat man and I followed Wang Xiangwen to the neighbor's house.
It was already evening, and when it was time for dinner, I wasn't hungry at all.
Wang Xiangwen pushed open the neighbor's door and led us in, where there was a large round table, on which were all kinds of wine and food, and a young man who looked a little older than me was sitting in front of the table and eating one bite at a time, eating very slowly.
He didn't say hello when he heard us come in, and he was still eating slowly.
Wang Xiangwen greeted the young man and said, "Brother Zhao Qian! This is Bai Xiaoquan, and he is also a Mr. Bai, this time it depends on your cooperation!"
Zhao Qian paused obviously when he heard Wang Xiangwen introduce me, but he quickly recovered his appearance, and he looked cold and unforgiving.
I looked at this Zhao Gan, his face was fair, his limbs were slender, he looked taller than me, although he looked cold, but there seemed to be a righteousness in his bones, not like that kind of treacherous appearance.
However, with Wang Xiangwen's experience, I didn't care about Wang Xiangwen's face and asked directly: "Did you get the horse to drive the coffin?"
After Zhao Qian slowly chewed a piece of food in his mouth, he glanced at me, shook his head and continued to add a piece to eat.
Although he shook his head and answered me, I saw that this man didn't even say hello, and my heart burned with fire.
"Do you know the ghost digging graves? What kind of attitude do you have, human life is at stake, let's discuss countermeasures, what can you do?" I said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
He jerked up, dodging my hand, holding chopsticks in one hand and landing on top of a long wooden box beside him.
As soon as I looked at his posture, I knew that this wooden box was strange, and it was about six feet long.
"What is this?" I asked.
Unexpectedly, after Zhao Qian heard my words, he finally spoke: "Do your own thing!"
After waiting for a long time to hold back four words, I looked at Wang Xiangwen, who also didn't like Zhao Gan very much, although this Zhao Qian was a little weird, but I was still disgusted with Wang Xiangwen in my heart.
"Let's rest here, and tomorrow will depend on you. Wang Xiangwen said that he was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Qian stretched out a hand and shook it towards Wang Xiangwen.
A trace of unhappiness flashed in the corner of Wang Xiangwen's eyes, but he handed the handbag to Zhao Gan.
Zhao Qian didn't look at Wang Xiangwen who left, took out the remaining stack of money from his handbag, and threw the handbag out casually.
Looking at his attitude, I suddenly felt a little good for him, maybe it was because his cold attitude towards Zhao Qian made me happy.
But the next scene is very weird.
Zhao Qian was obviously full, so he hid aside with the wooden box, and sat in the corner of the wall and closed his eyes to sleep.
And next to him is the back room, where there is a bed prepared by Wang Xiangwen.
The fat man also saw Zhao Gan's appearance and pouted and said, "Let him pretend!"
I also think his appearance is a little strange, but what he said is also right, everyone is in charge of their own affairs, since people like Wang Xiangwen can invite him, there must be something special about him.
"Quanzi, what are we going to do tomorrow? You'll have one coffin nail left!" the fat man said with a sad face after eating two bites of food.
The fat man said that I was most worried about the place, that is, I only had the last twin wooden coffin nails left, and I wanted to get a few coffin nails this time, but I didn't expect things to develop like this.
"Just wait until tomorrow the old man can leave me a few more coffin nails, otherwise I won't be able to keep the grave!" I said to the fat man.
At this time, Zhao Gan, who was sitting in the corner of the wall with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Your surname is Bai?"
The fat man was desperately trying to hold himself to death, and suddenly heard Zhao Gan speak and almost choked to death.
"Yes!" I said, and I saw that he had closed his eyes and stopped paying attention to us.
The fat man scratched with his teeth and claws, and finally pointed to Zhang Qiannunu's mouth and then pointed to his head, which means that this guy may be sick!
