Wang Jiugui has been very depressed recently.

He hadn't been so depressed in a long time.

Since the age of twenty, by chance, he went to sea with the ship of a wealthy merchant, brought back a batch of imported goods to make the first pot of gold through trading, and began to make a fortune, after nearly 30 years of accumulation, has been a businessman on the rich side, at this time Taizu's restrictions on businessmen, in fact, basically become empty words, Wang Jiugui has long lived a life of fine clothes and jade food, he has long stopped taking risks to sail, relying on the operation of spice shops, treasure shops can be pampered, and where will you feel restless?

Now the Wang family's commercial goods house, not only set up in the coastal state capital, and even opened to Beiping, Taiyuan, he knew the age of the destiny of heaven, has long been reluctant to run around, so he returned to his hometown of Fenyang County, the business management has also been handed over to a few adult sons to manage, and do not have to worry about everything, for a long time his life is to make fun of his grandson, enjoy the family, unless a major event, the sons will ask him to decide.

Although Wang Jiugui is a rich person, but there is no deep foundation, his fortune really depends on luck, so this person has always been grateful to God for protection, for the Buddha, the Tao is extremely pious, and understands the truth of "when you are happy, you must turn back early", and has no desire to make rich and powerful, and has not effectively imitated some rich people, and is not satisfied with the thousands of dollars in the waist, either spend money to buy a false position and a fake official to talk about self-comfort, or train children and grandchildren to join the imperial examination in an attempt to completely change the court, Wang Jiugui is not even too lazy to climb the official honors, or to help the poor scholarsin order to increase the capital of the rampant bank.

He thought that he had accumulated wealth for three generations of his children and grandchildren, and as long as the business continued smoothly, his children and grandchildren would be able to make a living.

So for a long time, one of the things that bothered Wang Jiugui the most was that his little grandson was too fond of sweets, and he didn't know if he would have tooth decay in the future.

But the days of peace will always change quietly when caught off guard, seeing that he is nearly fifty years old, Wang Jiugui's head suddenly has a green cloud cover of shame, he has not recovered from this blow, the concubine Bai who caused the trouble committed suicide, Wang Jiugui is really moved by the Bai family, and his heart is full of grief and indignation, and suddenly there is a ten years old, and the whole person is haggard.

After Bai's death, his wife Zhou was also bedridden.

When Wang Jiugui married his wife, he had not yet made a fortune, because his family was poor, and he couldn't pay a penny of bride money, so he had to marry a widow, Zhou was seven years older than Wang Jiugui, and the two were still blind and dumb married, so he couldn't say that he was in love, so after Wang Jiugui made his career, although he never thought of giving up his wife, he also accepted two concubines and two concubines.

Zhou's early years because of hard work fell ill, but because of Wang Jiugui's career, she has always been well-raised, the decoction has never been broken, but the condition has not deteriorated, and suddenly he was bedridden, because of the couple's family affection for many years, Wang Jiugui also felt anxious.

This anxiety made his lungs on fire, the roots of his teeth were swollen and painful, and his cheeks were held up.

There were many changes in the family, and his body was unwell, and Wang Jiugui was worried that this might be a harbinger of greater calamity, so he became restless.

On this day, his eldest son, Wang Ping'an, was still bothered by one thing.

Dang's father covered his cheeks and was furious: "I said this thing, our family must not mix, why don't you understand the power of it?!" Although Shi Gong was transferred out of Fenzhou, if you look at the subordinate officials in the government, at least seven out of ten are Shi Gong's cronies, so Zhao Zhizhou, although he also has a background, he can't stand in Fenzhou and may not, even if he defeats Shi Gong, can he still be this parent official in Fenzhou? Sooner or later, he will have to be promoted, as soon as he leaves, if he is succeeded by Shi Gong's cronies, Zhao Zhizhou has no choice but to take care of us, and it is easy to clean up our businessmen, their struggle for power in the officialdom, and our cloth people are involved, that is, a broken family. ”

Wang Ping'an was unconvinced, and wanted to argue a few words, but Wang Jiugui waved his hand and rushed out: "I know that you are not angry, every year for the long of the free grain, you have to be blackmailed by those officials, just listen to my advice, scatter wealth and avoid disasters, if you are reluctant to make these small profits, maybe there will be a catastrophe of annihilation, we are civilians, where can we fight with the officials for uprising?" You must calm down in this matter, entertain the errand officer, eat and drink, and give a heavy gift, he naturally understands how to reply to the master of Zhizhou. ”

When the son's dejected head was driven out, he met a steward running in a panic and asked what was the matter.

The steward responded: "There is a small Taoist outside the door, who claims to be the tall foot of a carefree immortal, and he opens his mouth and says that there is a filthy atmosphere above our house, and he says that it is ...... It is said that there are unjust dead spirits, and they want to seek justice, or if they are...... If you ignore it, the head of the family will inevitably suffer from blood. ”

Wang Ping'an is not like his father, he used to never believe in these wandering monks who pretended to be ghosts, and at this time he was accumulating a temper, so he wanted to scold the steward and ask him to drive away the magic stick that took the initiative to come to the door, but he only opened his mouth, but he saw his father running out barefoot: "Is there really a Taoist chief who said this?" Hurry up, please, don't dare to slack off, I'll change my clothes, and I'll ask the chief in person later. ”

glared at him, and shouted at the eldest son in a rough voice: "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and invite the Taoist chief to come in and wait in the main hall, these things at home can't be publicized and provoke gossip in the neighborhood." ”

Wang Ping'an is a filial child, and he has never dared to disobey his father too much, and he had to cheer up his spirits and politely receive the Taoist of unknown origin who he suspected of being a god.

When he saw people, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a half-old Taoist robe that didn't fit at first glance, and his thin cheeks were raised high, as if he was pretending to be a profound style, and the word "magic stick" in Wang Ping'an's heart was even more certain, just thinking that this kind of so-called warlock, what he wanted was nothing more than money and silver, but it also saved him from offending him, and when he caused trouble, and then he would anger his father, he would also restrain his contemptuous attitude and show some sincere advice.

This Dao Chang is not someone else, and he doesn't ask.

So his "out of the mountain" this time is naturally because of Chai Sheng, to be precise, it is the instruction of the spring return.

Although Mo Wen did not learn the cost of Xiaoyaozi, he was born cunning, and he had great experience in observing his face and pretending to be a ghost, although he sat on the top and rolled his eyes high, but Yu Guang swept Wang Ping'an's demeanor, and he saw through the attitude of entertainment.

Wang Ping'an hurriedly stopped: "The Taoist chief stays, the Taoist chief also asks to stay, my father is recuperating in bed because of illness, so it will take a while to comb and change clothes, and I don't mean to neglect the Taoist." ”

"Ling Zun is not slacking, but Your Excellency has doubts about Xiaodao, if Xiaodao is still shy, it is also boring." Mo Wen held his head high and bypassed the obstacle, and slowly raised his feet.

Wang Ping'an was really anxious, accompanied by caution, and misunderstood.

Mo Wen put his feet down for the time being, and sneered: "Whether the trail misunderstood, Your Excellency knows it, but Xiaodao passed by today, and did see that there were unjust souls lingering in your house, and I wanted to remind you for a while, don't be obsessed and cause a bloody disaster, even if Your Excellency thinks that Xiaodao is a swagger and deceit, Xiaodao may as well replace the unjust soul......"

As he spoke, he looked to the side, as if he could see the unjust soul.

"On behalf of the injustice, although your Excellency is not a wronged soul, but you have always respected her as a concubine, how can you know that your concubine has been wronged, and has not committed the ugly thing of fornication with others, and at the beginning of the time for the concubine mother, but you believed that the concubine committed suicide in shame? If you don't find this murderer, and the soul will not be entangled, I am afraid that it will not be the retribution that makes Zun's lungs hurt and the old disease recurs. ”

After saying this, don't ask any more, this time it is very neat to lift and land.

Wang Ping'an was completely shocked by these words, and he didn't think about stopping him for a while, until his father came in a hurry, but only saw a stunned son, angry and reprimanded, Wang Ping'an came back to his senses, and was depressed and recounted Mo Wen's words.

Both father and son believe that the little Taoist is really a "master".

Although the Wang family is not a noble family, because the rich side is not as good as the poor and lowly, they will value a little decency, and the concubine in the family has an adultery scandal, and Wang Jiugui will inevitably be ridiculed by outsiders, so this matter has not made a fuss, and Bai's death is only a sudden illness.

If you want to be a Taoist chief, you really don't have supernatural powers, where did you hear about these secrets of the Wang family? Not to mention that he was able to be sure that the Bai family was subdued and died!

Wang Jiugui stumbled, and saw that his son was also remorseful, he didn't blame anymore, only covered his cheeks and hummed: "Don't be in a daze here, maybe the Dao Chang didn't go far, don't hurry up and chase it, even if you can't catch it, you have to inquire, by the way, the Dao Chang is under the Xiaoyao Immortal Chief, go and inquire where the Xianguan is." ”
