Chapter 50 Prefecture Recruitment
The old man looked at us in surprise, and Daoist Qiu said to wait.
During the period, we also had a meal in the martial arts, about an hour later, the people of the Song family came to the door aggressively, led by the person who was about sixty years old, with a national face, looking righteous, but from the perspective of behavior, it should not be a good person.
The old man quickly asked, "I don't know what happened to Master Song's visit so late?" ”
"Hmph, Wu Weishan, don't pretend to be stupid, if you know each other, hand it over quickly, otherwise I will make your martial mansion a dead house."
These words also seemed to provoke the old man, and he stood up as soon as he slapped the table and said, "Song Dechang, please be polite, the martial arts house is not a place for you to go wild." And what you said, I didn't understand it. ”
We watched from the sidelines and didn't speak.
Song Dechang had a gloomy face. At this time, a person behind him said: "Dad, don't be angry first, we are here to talk about things with them, not to quarrel." ”
Song Dechang found a stool and sat down and said, "Tell me, your conditions." ”
The old man moved his gaze to us, and Daoist Qiu nodded. The old man began to speak, and our conditions were very simple: "One is that my grandson's soul is returned, and the other is to dissolve the marriage between my granddaughter and your grandson." ”
After these words fell, Song Dechang said: "Are you really easy to bully our Song family?" Don't regret looking back, I can cut off the only seedling of your grandson at any time. ”
When I saw this Song Dechang looking like a martial artist, I felt unhappy. I quickly said: "You can pinch off the only seedling of the martial family, and I can also cut off the only seedling of your Song family." My words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
I continued: "If I'm not mistaken, you gave birth to a son and three grandchildren, and you love the dead grandson the most, but although I know who is your weakness, I don't mind, let your three grandchildren all go to the underworld. ”
Song Dechang sneered and said, "Who are you scaring about? ”
I continued: "Song Dechang, born in the first year of the Republic of China, if I am not mistaken, you should have five years to live at most. ”
When I went to the underworld before, I read the information of the Song family in the book of life and death. Song Dechang's face became cloudy, and he asked me, "Who are you?" ”
I said I don't care who I am. What do you think of the conditions proposed by the samurai?
Song Dechang was no longer as confident as before, he groaned for a while, and said, "You give us some time to think about it." ”
I said that I don't have much patience, and I will give you three days, if you don't reply in three days. Don't blame me for being rude.
Song Dechang answered, and left with the people.
Daoist Qiu touched his beard and didn't say anything, but the eyes of the martial arts family looking at me have completely changed, and I didn't pay attention to it, I am now starting to be a little interested in the daughter of the martial family, and I haven't shown up until now.
The old man thanked us.
I said that I don't need to thank us, if you want to thank us, thank you and thank Master Yuan.
The old man wanted to say something, but at this time, a subordinate hurriedly ran in, and said breathlessly: "Oh no, master, the old scalper has run away!" ”
When these words fell, the old man immediately stood up and said anxiously to take me out to have a look.
The people of the samurai family flocked out.
I wanted to go out with me, but I was stopped by Daoist Qiu and told me not to go. Originally, the territory of the martial arts family, there would only be four of us outsiders left, Xiao Wanwan's expression looked very soft, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Cao Tianshi doesn't have to pretend to be a master now, he looks like a hanger.
Daoist Qiu took a sip of hot tea and said to me: "Zhang Yan, do you know that this county town wants to recruit the city god?" ”
I hummed and said that I knew, when I went to the underworld before, I had heard of it. I had some doubts in my heart, waiting for Daoist Qiu to say the following. Daoist Qiu said that the ox may die in two days, and you can take this opportunity to repay the favor for your master at that time.
I asked, "How?" ”
Daoist Qiu said that you will know when the time comes.
After about half an hour, the martial arts family returned, but it seemed that they didn't catch up with the scalper.
The old man was even more depressed, and when he walked up to us, he said: "It seems that my life should be extinguished, and the old man begs you masters to protect the descendants of the martial arts." As he spoke, the old man knelt down in front of us, and Daoist Qiu hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "The scalper has run away, and it is not dead." What are you anxious about. ”
The old man said that if the scalper runs away, it is not equivalent to death, and it is not willing to protect the old age.
Daoist Qiu smiled and said that the truth is such a truth. But there is life in everything, so don't be pessimistic, if someone asks you in three days, where is your soul? You remember to answer, on Zhang Yan.
The old man was stunned for a few seconds, with doubts on his face, and asked Who is Zhang Yan?
Daoist Qiu said, you don't care who it is, you just have to say so.
The old man replied, and there may be another question, which will ask you what is the most meritorious thing you have ever done in your life?
When the old man heard Daoist Qiu say this question, he immediately replied that although he had not done any good deeds in his life, he had a clear conscience, and if he wanted to say that he had done the most meritorious thing, he had built an ancestral hall for his hometown.
Daoist Qiu hummed and said, If you answer like this, you will not be far from death.
The old man's complexion changed suddenly.
I also don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in Daoist Qiu's gourd. The old man asked humbly, "Please also ask the Taoist for advice." ”
Daoist Qiu touched his beard and said, "The most meritorious thing I have ever done in my life is to help Zhang Yan's master." ”
The old man estimated that he was becoming more and more curious about the word Zhang Yan, looking at the way he wanted to speak and stopped, I really wanted to tell him that I was Zhang Yan. However, since Daoist Qiu didn't say it explicitly, he naturally has his reasoning, and I can't say it myself.
The old man said yes.
We didn't stay long at the samurai house, so we went back to the inn to rest.
Cao Tianshi asked Daoist Qiu on the way if he could apply for the Chenghuang of the Difu, Daoist Qiu looked at Cao Tianshi and said: You are not qualified enough.
Cao Tianshi sighed helplessly, and followed Daoist Qiu without complaining.
At nine o'clock the next morning, the Wu family came to invite them, saying that the Song family had agreed to their conditions, but they had to let the Wu family miss come to the door to dissolve the marriage contract in person.
We first went to the Wu Mansion to meet with Old Man Wu. He asked us what to do.
I said that Miss should follow us to Song's house to dissolve the marriage contract.
The old man thought about it for a while, so he asked Wu Chenshu to call his sister out, after her sister came out, she was still wearing a hat, and the black gauze hung down around the hat, so that people couldn't see her appearance clearly, I couldn't help but glance more, but Xiao Wanwan coughed beside me, and I hurriedly withdrew my gaze.
Daoist Qiu smiled.
After the daughter of the martial arts family came, she saluted us and said lightly: "The little girl Wu Minxin has seen all the benefactors. "I didn't see my face, but my voice was very good.
Daoist Qiu bowed slightly, but didn't say anything. Lead us outside.
The old man also followed, but was persuaded by Daoist Qiu to stay at home.
About half past ten, we arrived at Song's house, the door of Song's house was open, there were three sticks of incense at the door, black cloth hung on it, and two old dogs were tethered, and the old dog kept barking when he saw us, Qiu Daoist smiled and said, play this little trick with poor Dao.
Daoist Qiu stepped forward and kicked the black dog in the face, and the black dog was kicked silently, not even daring to bark, and then kicked the incense burner over. Daoist Qiu's actions immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Song family's subordinates, and they all made accusations.
But they didn't dare to stand in our way.
When I entered, I saw a coffin parked in front of the hall. There was a table on top of the coffin, the table was red rectangular, it looked a bit like the position where the official was sitting, and at this time there was a person in an official uniform sitting on it, and I also wore this dress, which was worn by the city god.
So the one sitting above should be the city god. Next to the city god sat Song Dechang.
On either side of the coffin sat his son, and there were two other faces, if I guessed correctly, they should be Song Dechang's grandson. There are also a few women, probably daughters-in-law, and everyone in the martial arts family has arrived.
Song Dechang sat beside Lord Chenghuang and looked at me with a little contempt.
The city god above quickly slapped the board and shouted: "Who is coming, why don't you kneel when you see this official!" ”
It may be the majesty of the city god, the people from the martial arts family soon couldn't hold on to their knees, and Wu Minxin and Wu Chenshu all knelt. Even Cao Tianshi almost couldn't hold on to his knees, and in the end, it was only when I picked him up that he was fine, but Xiao Wanwan had no effect at all.
It is said that people are afraid of ghosts for three points, and ghosts are afraid of people for seven points.
But often those three points are better than seven points, and that's because people have no momentum at all in front of ghosts, so they fall behind.
It seems that this is the real City God, this Song family still has some ability, and even the City God has moved out.
Song Dechang saw that the three of us didn't kneel, so he scolded and said, "When you see Lord Chenghuang, you still don't kneel, it's just bold." My lord, do you want to hook their souls? ”
Lord Chenghuang glared at Song Dechang and said, what the official wants to do, he knows what to do.
Song Dechang hurriedly responded and said yes, the lord is wise.
Lord Chenghuang turned to us and said, "Song Dechang of the Song family avenged his official and said that you used 'yin magic' to seduce the soul of his grandson, and also coerced them to dissolve their marriage with the martial family, is it really true?" ”
Before I could open my mouth, Wu Chenshu explained: "They are spewing blood, obviously they use despicable means to cheat marriage, and we are only doing this to treat others in the way of others." ”
"Really? That is to say, you have indeed exercised power on behalf of the underworld and hooked people's souls? ”
These words made Wu Chenshu speechless.
Lord Chenghuang quickly became furious and said: "You are presumptuous, how can you mortals trample on the laws of the underworld, come and take them down." ”
Then Yin Qi stepped forward, but as soon as Yin Qi stepped forward, something unexpected happened to us......
