The old way of "slaying demons and exorcising demons, exorcising demons and warding off evil spirits" walked through the market, but instead of shouting for business, he stopped in front of the noodle stall, ate a bowl of somen noodles, and left the market, and went to the area where the rich and noble families gathered and lived in the county.

When passing in front of the Wu Mansion, the old man sighed, stopped, squinted his old eyes and looked at the Wu Mansion again, praising the Tao number, pinching his fingers and calculating something.

Seeing that there was an old stop in front of the mansion, the family of the Wu Mansion came out to drive away, "Go, go, go, this is a place where you can stay and look around." ”

Lao Dao once again chanted and asked in the accent of the southern place, "Dare to ask the little brother, is there any filth here at night when it is not peaceful and filthy things appear to cause chaos?" ”

The housekeeper who drove people opened his mouth wide, and his eyes immediately changed when he looked at Lao Dao, no longer with the disgust of flying flies, but full of awe.

The other family member was more calm, "May I ask where the chief is from?" How to call it? ”

Lao Dao didn't answer, but he shook his head, glanced over the Wu Mansion, turned around and left, muttering as he walked, "The resentment is too heavy, it's not easy to ambush." ”

The two family members of the Wu Mansion looked at each other in astonishment, and finally the one who was more calm before pushed the other, "Hurry up and take a look, don't let the Taoist go far." Then let the third family guard the door, and hurried to the house by himself.

The housekeeper got the letter, and without saying much, he led the family who came to report to Master Wu. The guy told the old story again.

Master Wu pondered for a moment and waved his hand to the housekeeper, "Let the second lady make her own decision." ”

After a while, the second lady got the letter and told the housekeeper to hurry up and invite Lao Dao to the house. Mrs. Wu also got the letter, called the housekeeper to go over for questioning, and also deliberately invited Lao Dao into the house.

Because he sent someone to keep an eye on Lao Dao's whereabouts, a steward of the Wu Mansion quickly found Lao Dao and asked Lao Dao to go to the Wu Mansion to help exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits.

The old man refused at first, saying that the ghost who was causing trouble in the southeast corner of the Wu Mansion was too resentful, and he was not completely sure that he could be subdued. The second room occupies the southeast corner of Wu's mansion, and the steward immediately nodded to Lao Dao and wrapped his waist, and he must invite Lao Dao back.

Steward Wu looked at it coldly for a moment, took out five taels of silver and stuffed it into the old Dao's hand, and said that this was the little meaning of the masters, and said that if the Taoist could get things done, the masters would have another reward.

Lao Dao took the silver, and did not see the expression of wealth and stealing, but solemnly took five taels of silver in one hand, and pinched his fingers in the other hand to calculate something. After a while, he put the silver in his sleeve pocket, "This errand, Lao Dao took it." ”

Lao Dao was invited into the Wu Mansion. Steward Wu personally led Lao Dao to the small courtyard where Wu Ye lived. Lao Dao squinted his eyes and looked outside for a moment, then walked back.

Steward Wu accompanied him and asked carefully, "I don't know what Changdu saw?" ”

Lao Dao didn't speak at that time, and when he returned to the room arranged for him, he said to Steward Wu, "The ghosts who are making trouble here are too resentful and angry, so your master will be bedridden in such a short period of time." If you want to subdue it, not only must the old Taoist set up an altar to exorcise the ghost, but your master also has to do two things to appease the ghost. ”

Steward Wu said, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Lao Dao fiddled with the sleeve of the robe, "Prepare pen and ink." ”

A little guy quickly came in with pen, ink and paper, and polished the ink, and then lowered his hand.

Lao Dao lay on the desk, quickly wrote a few lines, blew dry the ink, folded the paper three times, and handed it to Steward Wu on the side, "Give it to your master." He took out two spirit runes from the cage and handed them to Steward Wu, "The spirit runes are attached to the head of the bed to ensure that your master sleeps peacefully for one night." After dawn, take off the spirit talisman and burn it to ashes, wash it with warm water, and let your master drink it. ”

Steward Wu put the question in his heart, said goodbye to the old way, and walked in the direction of the courtyard of the second room. When passing through the garden, he met Master Wu, who stopped to pay respects.

Master Wu put his hands behind his back, "Where is this going?" ”

Steward Wu told the matter.

Master Wu said, "Take it." ”

Steward Wu handed the paper handed over to him by Lao Dao to Master Wu.

Master Wu took it, unfolded it, immediately sank his face, and threw the paper back to Steward Wu, "Don't mention seeing Master Ben, just give the letter to the second lady." ”

Steward Wu agreed, picked up the paper that fell to the ground, and retreated respectfully.

Master Wu added, "Seeing this letter, what will the second lady do, just report it." Furthermore, keep an eye on the old way. ”

Steward Wu promised to step back.

The letter written by Lao Dao arrived in Wu Ye's hands, and when Wu Ye's family read it, his pale face became even more ugly, and he almost fainted. She gasped for breath and was helplessly supported by her mother-in-law and lay down. Involuntarily, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. In this life, what she regrets the most is that she met someone unladylike when she was young, was blind, and entrusted the wrong life. Those unspeakable things have now become a debt to her, and she is sick, and she has to clean up the mess for the bastard man in prison. She is unwilling, she hates.

At night, Wu Ye's only left the grandmother who had married back then by his side, and let everyone else retreat.

Wu Yeshi wept silently, "Nurse, Ziniang was young and ignorant, she didn't listen to the advice of the nurse, and insisted on getting along with the master. Now, Zi Niang regrets not being at the beginning, but it's too late. ”

Mama Ye gently wiped away her tears for Wu Ye's family, and persuaded in a low voice, "Miss, who doesn't make a few mistakes in life, you have to look forward, even if it is wrong, you have to raise your head and move forward." You see, the two young masters are both filial and promising, and in the future, only you will enjoy your share. Just put those things aside, for the sake of the two young masters, you have to get through this hurdle. ”

Wu Ye nodded and took the paper given by Lao Dao to Mama Ye. Mama Ye looked at it, and was busy looking at Wu Ye's face, and she didn't know what to do in a mess, so she said hesitantly, "Miss, this matter is not credible." ”

Wu Ye's eyes were undisguised hatred, "Although the master refuses to admit it, I know very well in my heart that the master did take a large sum of silver from Ye Lan a few years ago. Otherwise, where would he have been able to get four or five thousand taels of silver at that time to secretly buy a private house in Beijing and raise a little goblin. In the end, all the debts he owes are on my head, how can I swallow this breath! ”

Mama Ye asked with a sad face, "Miss, is the Taoist priest's words credible?" ”

Wu Ye sighed faintly, "'If you want to exorcise the resentful ghost, you must first pay off the property owed to the resentful ghost, and pay tribute to its deceased soul once, and then do the method to drive it away, and get twice the result with half the effort. If he didn't weaken his resentment by a point or two, Poor Dao didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to get rid of it completely. 'Mama, with this sentence, I am convinced of the Taoist. The old man stretched out his hand to Ye Lan to take the silver, and few people in this world knew about it. The fact that the Dao Master was able to calculate this proved that his mana was indeed profound. ”

Mama Ye hesitantly reminded, "Miss, don't forget, some time ago, that Gu Qingshu mentioned asking the master to return the silver." Could this Dao Elder be sent by Gu Qingshu? ”

Wu Ye frowned and thought about it, and quickly shook his head, "No." The one mentioned by Gu Qingshu was only two thousand eight hundred taels, in fact, it was more than that. This shows that Gu Qingshu was just cheating Mrs. Ben at that time, and she didn't know the truth. ”

Mama Ye thought of something, "Miss, this Gu Qingshu is also too quiet, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”

Wu Ye closed his eyes weakly and said, "She's just accumulating strength, she understands that it is not so easy to bring down the Wu Mansion." I sent someone to keep an eye on her, I want to take the first step before she attacks, I want to make her never turn over. ”

Mama Ye responded and asked what to do with the chief's letter.

Wu Ye said in a low voice, "Put me under the pillow." Besides, let the shopkeeper Ye come to see Mrs. Ben before tomorrow afternoon. No matter how reluctant I am, I have to grit my teeth and pay this debt. Remember, don't alarm anyone, don't let your father and mother know, and don't let the two young masters know. In any case, the young master can't let them know what the master is doing. ”

After a while, Wu Ye, who was convinced of the old way, asked Mama Ye, "Is the spirit talisman given by the Taoist chief pasted?" ”

Mama Ye said that it was pasted and asked Wu Ye to sleep peacefully. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or what, but not long after, Wu Ye fell asleep rarely.

Mama Ye was overjoyed, and bowed to the spirit talisman attached to Wu Ye's bedside, feeling that the Taoist chief she invited was indeed not a layman, but had great skills. She was so happy that she didn't notice that there was a person hidden behind the screen, and this person had heard her and Wu Ye's previous conversation clearly.

When Mama Ye, who was sitting in front of the bed and guarding Wu Ye's family, began to nap, a maid hidden behind the screen quietly went out.

After a short time, Steward Wu went to see Master Wu to report the matter.

After hearing this, Master Wu's brows furrowed, and finally scolded the bastard thing, and then said nothing.

On the second day, Wu Ye's complexion, which had slept peacefully, was much better. After she washed, Mama Ye passed the meal. A maid came in with three dishes, a soup and a bowl of white rice, and Mama Ye personally set the meal. The maid who served the food nodded her head to Wu Ye's when Mama Ye was not paying attention, and then immediately lowered her head, and quietly withdrew after Mama Ye had set up the meal.

Wu Ye quietly had breakfast, and after a little tidying up, he was helped by the maid to greet Master Wu and Mrs. Wu.

Old Madam Wu persuaded Wu Ye that he didn't have to come to ask for An before his health was well, and at the same time counted a few words about the eldest lady and the third lady, saying that they refused to come to invite An Yunyun if they were not sick or sick.

Master Wu, who has been very dissatisfied with Wu Ye's family for a while, no longer has a straight face today, but kindly tells Wu Ye's family to take good care of his body, and he doesn't have to come to ask for peace in the next few days. Besides, he asked the little servant to take a small brocade box, saying that it contained the beard of five hundred years of ginseng, and asked Wu Ye to take it back to replenish his body.

Wu Ye weakly thanked Master Wu for his reward, and let people help him back left and right. When she returned to the room, she left Mama Ye alone in the house, and everyone else retreated. When I opened the brocade box, it was indeed filled with ginseng beards, and underneath the ginseng beards was a silver ticket of three thousand taels.

Mama Ye was taken aback, "Miss, what is this?" ”

Wu Yeshi put away the silver ticket expressionlessly, and lay on the bed facing inward without saying a word. Who is she? She is Ye Zi who never suffers. Wu Zhenjiang owes debts, why should she pay them back? She took advantage of the situation to make a little trick, which not only won the heart of Master Wu, but also made Master Wu willingly take the money out to pay off his son's debts. Whenever she is, she is the winner in the end. However, if you want to make a full set of plays, you must not be reluctant to let the silver spoil your own business.

So, when Shopkeeper Ye came before noon, she instructed Shopkeeper Ye to prepare a thousand taels of silver. Then, she called a steward in their second room, and she handed over the three thousand taels of silver tickets given by Master Wu and the one thousand taels of silver she had prepared to the steward, and asked the steward to send the silver to the ancient mansion in Kangxi Town.

The steward set out with his people in the afternoon, and arrived at Kangxi Town before noon on the second day, and came to the front of the ancient mansion.

As soon as they heard that it was someone from the Wu Mansion in Dexian County, Cai Tieniu and others waved sticks to drive people away. The steward hid and explained that the second lady had sent him to deliver the silver, attracting several passers-by to stop and watch.

Cai Tieniu glanced at a family, and the family hurriedly went into the house to report.

For a long time, Qing Shu stood at the gate of the mansion surrounded by the maids and the family, staring coldly at the people of the Wu Mansion and others, "My ancient family has never come to the door to take revenge, but the Wu family has shamelessly come to the door to make trouble, how can this be reasonable!" ”

This steward of the Wu Mansion was instructed to return the money in a high-profile manner, and to mislead others as much as possible. Therefore, he was not afraid of outsiders hearing about it, and he did not ask to enter the mansion to talk about things, so he stood there and bowed to Qing Shu, "The little one is the steward of the Wu Mansion in Dexian County." The little one got the master's order and brought four thousand taels of silver to Miss Biao. He didn't say a word about returning the money, only saying that he was giving silver to Miss Biao. Those who are not in the know will definitely speculate a lot about this.

Sure enough, someone whispered.

A: Could it be that the two governments have said that 4,000 taels of silver will not be able to reach the fate of Mrs. Gu?

B: The revenge of killing her mother is not avenged, and she actually collects money to offset grievances, this Miss Gu is really ......

C: Shhhhh

Qing Shu didn't pay attention to the whispering, and kept a calm face, "Which master did your master order?" Besides, is this 4,000 taels of silver to pay off the old debt that your second master owes to my ancient mansion? ”

The steward made another gesture, "Miss Huibiao, the little one was ordered by the second lady to come and deliver the silver." As soon as the old debt was said, the second lady did not confess, and the villain did not know. ”

Qing Shu snorted coldly, "I don't care what your second lady explains, take out the silver and take a look at it first." ”

The steward felt that there were so many people watching, there was nothing to be afraid of. So he motioned to the people below to take down a wooden box from the cart, put it on the ground, and open it in front of everyone.

Bai Huahua's 1,000 taels of silver lay in a box, and on the silver were three silver tickets worth one of 1,000 taels spread out. Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Qiang stepped forward to confirm that Xu Yu nodded to Qingshu.

The steward of the Wu Mansion asked loudly, "Three thousand taels of silver, one thousand taels of silver, right?" ”

Gu Qiang replied simply, "Yes." ”

Qing Shu gave an expression of the order, "Come on, carry the silver." ”

The steward of the Wu Mansion stood in front of the wooden box, "Wait." ”

The family members sent by the Wu Mansion also stepped forward to protect the box.

Qing Shu looked at it coldly.

The steward of Wu Mansion said, "Miss Biao can carry the silver, please write a handwritten letter to the villain that has received the cashier, and the villain can take it back to the second lady to report to the second lady, proving that the villain is not greedy for ink, and the villain has done the errand well." ”

Qing Shu sneered, "Wait." She turned and went into the house, came to the antechamber and sat down, then took a letter from her sleeve and stretched out her hand, "Scissors." ”

Xiaojuan hurriedly handed over the scissors.

After Qingshu asked Xiaojuan and Xiaoyu to step back, he unfolded the letter and looked at it a few times, and after considering it for only a few seconds, as long as the word "Blue Girl" appeared, he carefully cut out the blue characters in it. Sure that there was nothing else wrong, she put down her scissors and read the letter carefully for the sake of it. She thought it was okay, and put the cut words into the letter cover, "Little fish, take the fire fold." Xiaojuan, bring the spittoon. ”

Xiaoyu and Xiaojuan quickly sent what Qingshu wanted.

Qing Shu lit the cover containing some cut words, and when she was about to burn her hand, she threw it into the spittoon, and seeing that the cover was completely turned into ashes, she took half a bowl of tea at hand and poured it into the spittoon.

Yuanbao took the letter cover and handed it to Xiaojuan, "Sister Xiaojuan, the young master heard that Miss wanted to use it, so he took two." ”

Xiaojuan gave it to Qingshu.

Qing Shu took one, "Give the other one back to the young master." She put the letter with some words cut out into the empty letter cover, handed it to Xiaojuan to take, and came to the door of the house again with her hands behind her back.

There are a total of eleven people from the Wu Mansion plus the steward, and the family members gathered in front of the mansion at this time in the ancient mansion plus the steward and Ding Jiabao, a total of thirteen people.

Qingshu nodded.

Xiao Juan threw the letter in her hand to the steward of the Wu Mansion, "Take it." ”

Qing Shu waved his hand, "Move." ”

Qing Shu gave an order, and the people from the ancient mansion rushed up, knocking down the Wu Mansion family who was about to bend down to pick up the letter, and knocked out the steward of the Wu Mansion, and started to fight with the rest of the Wu Mansion.

Taking advantage of the conflict between the two parties, Ding Jiabao had already squeezed in front of the wooden box, lifted the wooden box, carried it on his shoulders and walked to the house.

The people of the Wu Mansion want to stop it, but the people from the ancient mansion are blocking it. The steward of the Wu Mansion shouted what this was for.

Xiao Juan stood in front of Qing Shu and shouted, "The deed has been repaid to you, and you are still blocking the silver from moving, what is the reason?" ”

Xiao Yu said, "You don't plan to trick Miss into taking out the IOU, and then snatch the IOU, and bring the silver back the same way, right?" ”

The steward of the Wu Mansion can't speak clearly, and he can't be in a hurry.

In just a moment's time, the people on the side of the ancient mansion had already retreated to the front of the mansion, and Ding Jiabao had already carried the wooden box containing silver and silver tickets into the mansion.

The steward of the Wu Mansion only got the letter that was thrown to the ground at this time, he took out the paper inside, unfolded it and looked at it, his face changed at that time, he hurriedly stuffed the paper back into the letter cover, and looked at Qing Shu, "This, this ......"

"Don't recognize your master's words? Still don't recognize your master's name? Take the deed of deed and roll. The hatred of killing the mother is not the same as the sky, the Gu Wu family is like fire and water, no matter how much you dare to stay longer, Miss Ben can't suppress her temper and anger you and cripple you, don't blame Miss Ben for not warning you in advance. After Qing Shu finished the warning, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to enter the house.

The steward of the Wu Mansion unconsciously took a few steps back, and hurriedly left with unsteady steps. On the second day, he took people back to Dexian County, reported to Wu Ye's family as soon as possible, and sent a letter with shaking hands to explain what happened at that time.

In the past two days, Wu Ye's bedside has been pasted with two spiritual runes given by the old Tao, and he has to drink the gray water obtained by burning the spiritual runes every day, and he has to sleep more and more peacefully day by day. Coupled with taking medicine and taking various supplements, her complexion has improved a lot.

After letting the steward go down, she took out the letter in the cover that the steward had brought back and read it. When she recognized the handwriting, read the contents, and saw the name of the place where the money had been placed, she felt a fire tumble up her chest, and in a burst of vertigo, wow, she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Mama Ye was bowing her head to do things before, and when she heard the movement and looked up, she saw Wu Ye's gray face and the bloodshot on the side of her mouth, she changed her face at that time, and quickly stepped forward, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wu Ye stared blankly at a mouthful of blood on the ground, thinking of the large pool of blood that appeared on the mattress for no reason when she was haunted, she rolled her eyes, and the whole person fell from the chair.

Mama Ye cried and barely supported Wu Ye's family, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" "Come on, come on, Madame fainted."
