"But I'm in prison now, how can I ask a Taoist priest to do it?" Qi Hongfu replied desperately, and then kowtowed and begged: "Please ask Mr. to help me plead with Lord Liang, let me out first, and then I will come back after I finish the Fa work." ”

"Hey, then talk to Lord Liang about it, but whether it can be done or not, I can't say."

Qi Hongfu was so excited that he kowtowed and thanked him, and sent Hu Langzhong away.

After a while, the prison chief came to the cell and told Qi Hongfu: "Lord Liang heard that you are sick, and he has a good attitude towards reciting your confession, so he will be merciful outside the law and allow you to go home for treatment." At the same time, you are limited to hand in the atonement rice within seven days, and Lord Liang can report to the Criminal Department and close your case as soon as possible. Prepare yourself and your family will pick you up in the afternoon. ”

Qi Hongfu was so moved that he thanked him again and again, and his mood was a lot more relaxed, as if he had escaped from danger.

********

Just one day before Qi Hongfu's release, a young Taoist priest came to Qi Hongfu's house. The Taoist priest entered the door and said to Mrs. Qi: "Immeasurable Venerable, the trail has traveled in all directions, passing by here today, I found that your house was shrouded in a yin qi, if you don't do it to get rid of it, I'm afraid there will be a bloody disaster within half a month." ”

Mrs. Qi was upset because of the master's arrest, thinking that she was swaggering and deceiving charlatans everywhere, where could she listen to it, but she just gave him a reward and sent him away.

Before leaving, the Taoist priest said, "I passed by here today, whether my wife believes it or not, it is fate. If you have difficulties in the future, you can go to the house Gu Tianyun Temple in the east ten miles of Juzhou to find me, my legal name Wenhui, and I have been placing orders in the temple for nearly three months. ”

After Qi Hongfu was taken home by his family, he immediately told his wife what Hu Langzhong said in prison. The lady was very surprised when she remembered the Taoist priest with the Dharma name Wenhui. Only then did he believe that what the Taoist priest said was true, and after telling the master about it, Qi Hongfu immediately sent someone to invite the Taoist as if he had met a savior.

A day later, Daoist Wenhui came to Qi's house with two Taoist children. As soon as he entered the door, Daoist Wen Hui said to the family members around him and Qi Hongfu's son who greeted him: "Oh, I've only been away for a day, why is your family's yin qi heavier?" Looks like a big deal! ”

After the son told his father the words of the Dao Chief, Qi Hongfu believed in the Dao Chief's mana even more. So he hurriedly asked his family to set up a banquet and offered the dish that looked like a bodhisattva with good wine, good food, and good words.

The wine and food are all together, and Qi Hongfu personally accompanies him when he is sick. When the Dao chief saw Qi Hongfu, he was surprised and said, "Oh, it turns out that this yin qi should be on you." Are you feeling unwell? ”

Qi Hongfu said reverently: "The Taoist mana is boundless, and he can see through the truth at a glance. I recently suffered from prison, and my lower body was swollen and painful. ”

The Dao Chang shook his head and said, "What you said is not important, the disaster of imprisonment can be eliminated by breaking the fortune, and the swelling and pain of the lower body can be cured in a few days." What matters is the yin energy in your body. Speaking of this, the long man said something in his mouth, pinched his fingers and counted for a while, and then said: "The yin qi on your body is caused by the condensation of a woman's resentment, if you don't expel it immediately, you will have a bloody disaster!" ”

"Dao Chief, save me, you must save me!" Qi Hongfu said in a panic.

"Immeasurable, don't panic, don't panic, I'm here this time to expel yin qi for you and eliminate disasters for you. After the feast, you should explain the reason carefully, and I will set up an altar for you. ”

Qi Hongfu was very grateful, and the uncertain companion had a banquet. He invited the Taoist chief to his study to talk in detail, and told his family not to disturb him.

After Daoist Wenhui sat down, Qi Hongfu said ashamedly: "Daoist, you are right, I once looked for Lang Zhong in prison, and he said that the wound on my lower body was poisoned by lewdness, not a real disease. ”

"How did the wounds on your lower body come about?" The Taoist priest asked.

"I was bitten by a woman during intercourse." Qi Hong replied truthfully.

"You must have forced you to have sex with that woman, right? How else would she bite you? ”

"That's true."

"That woman isn't alive anymore, is she? Otherwise, how could there be such a heavy yin qi attached to you? ”

"Yes, the woman committed suicide that day." Qi Hongfu remembered what the lawyer had told him. He lied to the chief.

"Oh, thankfully she killed herself, so she's a little less resentful. I can use eighty percent of my mana to get rid of it. If you kill her, I'll have to use 10% of my mana to get rid of her. ”

Hearing this, Qi Hongfu was extremely conflicted in his heart. How good this is, on the one hand, is the advice and warning of the lawyer, and on the other hand, it is related to whether or not the yin qi can be completely expelled. He's entangled, very entangled!

Therefore, he asked cautiously and tentatively: "What if you can't drive it away with eighty percent of your mana?" ”

"In this case, it seems that it has been expelled, but within a month, the woman's resentment will re-condense, and it will be impossible to expel it again!"

"Dao Chief, for the sake of insurance, please use ten percent of your mana to do it for me!" Qi Hongfu didn't care about the pain, knelt down on his knees and pleaded.

"Never! If you hadn't killed it, the female ghost would have been scattered with ten percent of her mana. Causing such a sin will cost me twenty years of life! This must not be the case! The chief flatly refused.

After Qi Hongfu was rejected, his heart was cold. If you don't tell the truth, Cui Ying's resentment will be a dead end for him. If you tell the truth, this thing will be out of the wind, and you will not be able to escape the fate of beheading. But think about it carefully, the Taoist priest in front of him is wandering around, as long as he gives him more silver, let him not spread it, and believe that the silver can seal his mouth. As long as the government doesn't know, after a few years Liang Wensheng is transferred, there will naturally be no problem.

Thinking of this, he settled down and said to Daoist Wenhui: "Daoist, I didn't tell the truth just now, that woman was indeed killed by me!" Please use ten percent of the mana to expel the woman's resentment for me. Afterwards, I would like to give a thousand taels of silver as a reward! Please don't spread the word and keep it a secret for me! ”

The Taoist priest showed an imperceptible smile on his face and said, "Donor, don't worry, I will naturally take care of the affairs of the yang world, and I will definitely not spread it everywhere." As for the female ghost, I will recite the supernatal mantra a few more times, so that she can dissipate this resentment and go to reincarnation as soon as possible. ”

Then the chief carefully asked Qi Hongfu about some details of killing Cui Ying, and Qi Hongfu answered them one by one without reservation.

In the next two days, the chief of the road set up an altar in the Qi family, and for two whole days, the Qi family was plastered with yellow charms up and down, and the whole family was full of smoke, and the gongs and drums sounded, attracting the neighbors to stop and watch.

Two days later, the ritual was completed, and the swelling and pain in Qi Hongfu's lower body was almost better. So he thanked him a lot, offered 1,000 taels of silver as promised, and sent someone to send Wen Huidao and the three masters and apprentices to leave.

Go to the old sorrows, and add new worries. Now there are five days left before the deadline for paying the atonement rice, but where can the more than 20,000 stone rice be raised? There are more than 10,000 stones of rice stored at home, how to raise the rest? Qi Hongfu thought about it and felt that there was only one way to sell the land. Thinking about it carefully, the only one who has the financial resources nearby to buy so much land is He Shaoyun's family in Hejia Village, but he can't pull his son to beg him. In just a few months, the situation of the two families has directly come to a big reversal. It's unwillingness to think about it!

But no matter how unwilling you are, it's not as important as saving your life. How much is face worth? My chickens &&& chickens have been studied over and over again, and I still can't get on it? Thinking like this, Qi Hongfu made up his mind and immediately set off to discuss with He Shaoyun in Hejia Village.

Qi Hongfu took a family member to He Shaoyun's house and sat down. Naturally, the Chen family would not give him a good face, and he did not even entertain him with a glass of water. Instead, he sneered and said, "Yo, Chief Qi Liang, how can such a noble lord of yours come to a humble house like ours?" I heard that you also spent a few days in the Yamen prison? When did you come back? Look at this situation, is it a board? ”

Qi Hongfu coughed twice in embarrassment, his face was red and white for a while, but he couldn't speak. After sitting for a long time, he left the hall after watching Chen finish speaking. He carefully said to He Shaoyun and his son: "He Lichang, let you suffer, it was me who was wrong before. The matter of the contract does not count, it is written off. ”

He Shaoyun looked at him, didn't give a good face, and said annoyingly: "Don't talk nonsense, you have something to say." ”

"He Lichang, you must help me. I am now anxious to pay for my sins, and I am still short of 13,000 stones. I want to exchange land for food, and we are the only one in this area who has the financial resources......"

"I don't plan to buy land now, there is food, but it is for the workers in the workshop, and there is not much to spare, so I can't help you!" He Shaoyun said coldly.

"He Lichang, you can help, my more than 2,000 acres are all good watered fields. I only need 13,000 stone meters, how about 1,500 acres of land? Qi Hongfu said almost pleadingly.

Qi Hongfu calculated very well, according to the current market price, 13,000 stone rice is worth 17,000 taels of silver. And now the best watered fields are only 11 taels of silver per acre.

At this time, He Zhiyuan said sarcastically: "Qi Liangchang, 1,500 acres of land for 13,000 stone rice, you think very beautifully." At the beginning, you bought us fifty acres of land for eight taels of silver per acre, but now it is your turn to become more than ten taels of silver!? ”

Qi Hongfu thought to himself, this is a mentally incomplete minor, who is clearly better than him! It seems that this kid is not easy to fool, so he had to ask: "How many acres of land do you think can be exchanged for 13,000 stone meters?" ”

"Two thousand acres!"

"Two thousand acres?" Qi Hongfu screamed, and his heart ached.

"Love to sell or not to sell! You begged me to buy it. ”

"That's too low, it's all good water!" Qi Hongfu struggled weakly.

"It's not low, the average is more than eight taels of silver per mu, which is higher than when I sold it to you."

Qi Hongfu was choked and rolled his eyes, and suddenly had nothing to refute, so he had to agree.

Then He Zhiyuan learned Qi Hongfu's tone and said: "There is something we have to explain clearly, the land has been sold to me, and the harvest of wheat in the field belongs to us." ”

Qi Hongfu knew that this was revenge on him, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it. He asked pitifully, "All right, the harvest is yours." What about this year's summer grain? ”

"I'm not as ruthless as you, we'll pay for the summer grain!"

"Thank you......" The stone in Qi Hongfu's heart fell to the ground, and he thanked him repeatedly. In his heart, if he was asked to pay taxes and grain, he would have to go out with his family to ask for food.

"If there is no problem, how about we sign the contract today?" He Zhiyuan asked.

"No, no, no, I want to sign with He Li, but I can't sign with you." This is really a year of being bitten by a snake, and ten years of being afraid of the well rope.

A few days later, Qi Hongfu gathered the atonement rice and came to the domain treasury to complete the delivery, and then came to the state office again to report.

Liang Wensheng looked at Qi Hongfu and said with a smile: "Chief Qi Liang, can you know this person next to me?" ”

Qi Hongfu raised his eyes and couldn't help shouting: "Wenhui Dao is ......" He understood in an instant, and then he trembled with fright and collapsed to the ground......
