"And then? Did they stop? I asked, turning my head.
"The boatman said that he wouldn't leave anything, saying that it was easy to get out of danger when the boat was in a storm, and my great-grandfather remembered the first sentence written by the Taoist priest at this time, and the third watch did not look back when the wind was blown, so he persuaded the boatman to leave at a price of three times the fare." Money can make ghosts grind, no matter what time it is, money is always an eternal truth.
"For this triple fare, the boatman's heart moved, and he felt that he could take a risk, so he continued to drive the boat forward, and after walking about fifty or sixty meters by sea, there was a sound of slaughter behind him, and as soon as the boatman and my great-grandfather turned around, they saw that the dock had been burned by a group of people, and the merchant ships docked at the dock were also hijacked, and the boatmen and merchants on the dock were also killed by these gangsters and thrown into the sea. He drove the boat forward without stopping, and every once in a while he looked back to make sure that the men had not caught up and breathed a sigh of relief. Leng Jingyu also had some heart palpitations when she said this, as if she had experienced it herself, and I have to say that Leng Jingyu's language skills are very strong.
"That's too godly, isn't it?" Wang Hu smacked his tongue from the side.
"Hmm." Leng Jingyu nodded, "This is the story of not looking back in the middle of the night, my grandfather told me, I think it should be true, because my grandfather also told this story to my father back then, and claimed that it was absolutely true." Leng Jingyu said, a few of us nodded one after another, judging from the Taoist priest's methods and words, this matter cannot be faked.
"And then? What about the remaining three stories? Wang Zi asked unfinished with his providence.
"Some of the merchant ships behind the storm capsized in the sea, and the merchant ships that survived were also robbed by thieves because they docked on the dock, and the people on it were also killed, so only my great-grandfather's goods survived in this batch of goods, and for a time they became sought-after goods, and the tea in the hands of my great-grandfather was fried to a sky-high price, and others also spread falsehoods, saying that after drinking this batch of tea, they will be able to turn evil into good fortune, and my great-grandfather is also very business-minded, taking advantage of the high price, to fifty times the original price. People are still rushing like crazy. Leng Jingyu said and smiled.
"And the second sentence, what does it mean to drink and not go upstairs?" Huang Tieshan asked.
"My great-grandfather was happy after selling this batch of goods, but he still had palpitations, and he was tired of running around for a few days, so he rested for a while in that town, and there was a custom of drinking late wine in that place, that is, to go to the tavern to drink in the middle of the night, on behalf of the respect of the person who invited the guests, my great-grandfather made a fortune in that time, and many merchants in the town wanted to get to know my great-grandfather, so they made an appointment to go to a big tavern to drink at the time of the child, and my great-grandfather couldn't refuse. And he went. Leng Jingyu continued, "When I arrived at the tavern, it was brightly lit and the seats were full, and the shopkeeper knew a few people who came with my great-grandfather, all of whom were famous merchants here, so he said to my great-grandfather, please, there is a private room upstairs." The people who invited my great-grandfather to drink naturally knew that sitting upstairs was a very face-saving thing, and they walked up the stairs one after another, my great-grandfather didn't think so much at the time, and his hand inadvertently touched his chest, and touched the note written by the Taoist priest to my great-grandfather (at that time, people's clothes pockets were on the chest), my great-grandfather took out the note and looked at it, and the tea stains that did not look back in the wind had dried up, and only the last three sentences remained. said that he didn't need to be too particular, and then lied that he was old and it was inconvenient to go upstairs, so he could sit down below, and then my great-grandfather found a vacant seat in the corner and sat down. ”
Since my great-grandfather didn't mind, they didn't have to say anything, so they had to follow my great-grandfather to sit down and drink, after the wine came up, everyone was drinking, and suddenly heard a loud bang, and everyone turned their faces sideways to look at the source of the loud noise, it turned out that the private room upstairs collapsed, and the shopkeeper in the private room broke a leg, and the private room was the private room that the shopkeeper wanted to lead us into at the beginning. Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, thinking that it was my great-grandfather who saved them, and everyone who escaped death suddenly lost Yaxing, who was drinking, and decided to find a hotel to live in together. ”
"In the middle of the night, my grandfather who was busy all day felt that his scalp was a little itchy and sticky, and he slept awkwardly, my great-grandfather usually rarely drank alcohol, so he drank the scalp and oiled out, thinking of the sentence that he went to wash his hair in the middle of the night, my great-grandfather still endured sleep, walked out of the hotel and walked to the side of the well to wash his head, just when my great-grandfather lowered his head and washed his hair, he suddenly felt a figure behind him, my great-grandfather swept it with his afterglow, and saw this figure break into the hotel, my great-grandfather realized that something was wrong at this time, After drying his hair in a hurry, he tiptoed back to the hotel. Leng Jingyu said tremblingly, it seems that she has already spoken vividly, and she also thought of the scene at that time.
"What about after walking into the hotel?" Wang Hu asked impatiently.
"After entering the hotel...... Leng Jingyu's whole body trembled, "After he returned to the room, he was stunned by the scene in front of him, the heads of several guys who lived in the same house with my great-grandfather were all cut off by brushes, and there were several corpses lying on the ground, it seemed that the resistance was unsuccessful, and the room was also turned into a mess, and the money from selling tea had been emptied, and my great-grandfather subconsciously touched his pocket, and his money was still there. My grandfather immediately ran away from this place of right and wrong, and went to the yamen to report the case in the middle of the night. Leng Jingyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued, "The official in the yamen yawned while writing down my great-grandfather's confession and sent my great-grandfather back, and there was no substantial progress in this case for a long time. Leng Jingyu shook her head helplessly, sighed and said.
"My great-grandfather also calmed down at this time, thought of the last two sentences of the Taoist priest, woke up and went to wash his hair, this sentence has been fulfilled, and the great-grandfather thought of a strange thing that happened before, and felt that the last sentence of catching the murderer full of ten taels of wine must have a great mystery, and then he came to the yamen, and found the official, the official was very disgusted when he heard my great-grandfather say the four sentences, and felt that my grandfather was scared into a nervous disorder, or he was here to promote feudal superstition, He had the intention of driving my great-grandfather out of the yamen, but when he heard that my great-grandfather had escaped death three times because of the previous three sentences, he sent someone to inquire about the recent events at the dock and the things in the tavern, and his expression gradually solidified. ”
The official's mouth repeatedly chanted this sentence, caught the murderer full of ten taels of wine, felt that this sentence should tell the official who the murderer was, and then he also walked into the tavern, looking for a guy to ask for ten taels of wine, this guy looked at the official lord to drink, the look was very flattering, and then brought a very particular cup, at that time most of the restaurant drinking was with a bowl, the official took the cup to see that it was a cup of one or two wines, and then became angry, the official's temper was violent, and angrily reprimanded the guy and said that I wanted ten taels of wine, Why did you bring me a cup or two, do you think that Lord Ben's alcohol consumption is not good? Leng Jingyu said, "The shopkeeper picked up the cup that fell to the ground with trepidation, and said tremblingly that this cup is the most exquisite cup in the store, that Sheng Tianya often comes here to drink, and every time he names this cup, so the villain is good at asserting it for you......" Leng Jingyu continued, "Before the shopkeeper's words were finished, the official grasped a key point and asked, 'What did you say Sheng Tianya?' Who is this Sheng Tianya? When the shopkeeper heard the official's question, he breathed a sigh of relief, saying that Sheng Tianya was a gambler and loved to drink, and he wanted ten taels of wine every time, but he could only drink one or two, so he had a nickname called Sheng Jiu Liang, and the homonym left nine taels of wine. ”
