Chapter 4: The Corpse Moves

Zhang Xiaojia is Mr. Yin and Yang, full-time wedding and funeral, eight-character auspicious, calculating feng shui or something.

Of course

There are also side hustles.

The side business is to hunt ghosts and demons, Zhang Xiaoyi has not seen it with his own eyes in the impression of the original body, but Lao Zhang has gone out several times, and someone paid him to come to the door to catch ghosts and demons, and he still has an impression.

I have the impression that I also said that I helped the Demon Suppression Division and worked as a consultant.

The Demon Town Division is a metaphysical yamen set up by the imperial court, specializing in some unconventional cases.

Xianlai County's town demon division yamen is at the entrance of the vegetable market on Baihu Street, because it is the place where the head is killed, and the yin qi is relatively heavy, so the town demon division yamen of the county town is generally at the entrance of the vegetable market, in order to deal with emergencies.

Zhang Xiaojia doesn't know how big Zhang Xiaojia is, at least no one has said that he is a liar for so many years.

The old and young masters of Xianlai County still have a very respectful attitude towards Lao Zhang, a bit like "Uncle Nine".

It took Zhang Xiaoyi a month to understand the world, so when Lao Zhang said that he was going to help others do white things, he was really a little curious.

The original body rarely follows Lao Zhang, and is usually followed by Haozi, one is an apprentice, and the other is to start or something.

"Why is he still dead, he has to go to the Qianjia rice shop to buy rice after he is gone, it is more expensive than the Shen family's purchase, a bucket of rice is more expensive than three cents, this is not thrown in vain."

The rich Wang Huahua is a person who lives a life, and the more she thinks about Shen Yuanwai's departure, the more regretful she becomes.

Although it can't reach the point where not picking up money is a loss, but each bucket of rice is expensive for three cents, which can also make her feel pain.

Mother Wang Huahua put down the chopsticks, and with Zhang Xiaoyi's understanding of her in her memory, it is estimated that it will take a long time to get used to it.

However, Shen Yuanwai is a big family, and he must have given a lot of white things to their family.

Tangled.

Zhang Xiaojia pushed the bowl after eating, comforted her and said: "You can't think like this, Shen Lu is gone, and the Shen family doesn't mean that there is no one in their family, and the business should be done." ”

Wang Huahua smacked her lips, sighed, and retorted:

"Then who do you say is in charge of their family, his daughter-in-law or his younger brother?

Let me tell you, just those two are blacker than old money. Believe it or not, no matter who their uncle or sister-in-law is in charge of this family, the first thing they will do is to raise the price of food. ”

"That's just as well."

Zhang Xiaojia didn't refute, they knew more about the neighborhoods in the street.

"How did he die, he didn't get well in the first few days, how can he say that he died?" The old mother was very curious about it.

Zhang Xiaojia also frowned: "In the morning, Jia Ding said that he was gouged out. ”

"Heart-digging?"

The four of them all raised their heads and looked at Zhang Xiaojia, there are many demons and monsters in this era, what fierce ghosts harm people, and there are countless things like goblins digging hearts among the people.

Although many stories are made up by ordinary people or calligraphers, there are also many real cases.

There are many immortal gates in the Immortal Dynasty, and the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division are in all prefectures and counties, but this kind of thing cannot be eliminated.

However, there are not many demons and monsters in Xianlai County, and even if there is, they are suppressed by the immortals in the Yamen of the Demon Suppression Division, and as soon as they heard about digging their hearts today, the four of them instantly thought that there were goblins in the city.

After all, the common people don't need to be so cruel to kill him, a knife stab, the next medicine is not more troublesome than this.

Zhang Xiaoyi didn't rule out the possibility of vendetta, what if someone imitated demons and monsters to commit crimes?

Zhang Xiaojia pouted at his wife and said, "Isn't it just digging into your heart, the Yamen of the Demon Division has already gone." ”

"That's ...... you go"

"Let's just say yes, the people at the yamen will definitely investigate in the past, and the body can't be moved. There are demons and demon suppression divisions, and there are six doors artificially, and it is impossible for any yamen to let him be buried before the truth is investigated. ”

Wang Huahua was puzzled: "Then they are looking for you early in the morning?" ”

"I'm also wondering, I guess, maybe the old Shen family wants to do it early, after all, you just said, which one of the uncles and sisters-in-law is a fuel-efficient lamp."

Zhang Xiaoyi listened to their conversation, and also had a guess in his heart, maybe it was really someone who wanted to do something early and be in charge early.

In this year, the struggle within the family was extremely fierce.

Ordinary people divide their family property in their families, and there are two brothers who fight for a water tank, not to mention large families.

Money touches people's hearts.

"Haozi, have you finished eating?"

"I've finished eating, sir." Hei Haoqin put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and stood by at any time.

"Take the guy, and I'll go around with the master."

"Okay, sir."

Hei Haoqin went to get the guy, and Xiaobai got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Zhang Xiaoyi took a sip of tea, raised his head and said to Zhang Xiaojia, "Dad, can I go with you to have a look." ”

"Why do you still want to go with me?" The old father was a little surprised.

When the original body was a child, Zhang Xiaojia always took himself with him every time he worked, and it was not to teach him to inherit the family industry, but mainly to be able to eat.

In my memory, the big elbow is very fragrant, especially the elbow skin, which tastes ...... Tut.

Generally, large families build a mourning hall, and those who come have heads and faces, and the most important thing has to be a banquet with 16 dishes.

Especially Zhang Xiaojia led him, the owner gave face, and when he saw Zhang Xiaoyi giving money and toys, Zhang Xiaoyi could mix some good things at that time.

Later, when he grew up and reached the age of thirteen or fourteen, he rarely followed his father to work. Because he is no longer a child, the owner gave his father money, and the half-grown child is not as cute as a child, and he will no longer tease him with money like when he was a child.

He didn't get any benefits, the money was all in his father's, and he had to help when he went, so he didn't want to follow.

If sometimes the scene is too big, Zhang Xiaojia asked him to go over to help, and he usually didn't go when he was called.

That's why Zhang Xiaojia looked a little surprised, looking at his son, today is the sun coming out in the west?

"I've been at home for a month and want to go out for a walk." Zhang Xiaoyi explained.

"Heh, my eldest son is uncomfortable." Zhang Xiaojia looked like this.

Mother Wang Huahua picked up the tea bowl: "If my son wants to go, I will follow you, whoever stays at home for a month can't stand it." ”

"Okay, then you pick up."

Zhang Xiaojia stood up and walked out of the hall to smoke outside.

The mother stood up, walked to Zhang Xiaoyi's side and instructed: "You can take a look there, don't come forward, don't run blindly with your father, don't hurt you if there is a goblin." ”

"I know, mother."

"Don't take it lightly, it's not a joke that there are really goblins, your injury is just a little better, don't do anything else, or you let your mother live."

"Oh, you old lady, what can my son do with me, and he's so old." Zhang Xiaojia shouted to the hall outside the door.

This couple, Zhang Xiaojia has always felt that he should let his son exercise with him, so that he can inherit the mantle in the future.

And Wang Huahua is a typical loving mother, reluctant to let her son suffer a little grievance.

After Zhang Xiaoyi stopped studying in the first two years, he said that he didn't want to work, and Wang Huahua directly said that the family is not short of money anyway, and your father and mother can afford to support you.

Loving mothers have many defeated children, which is the reason why the predecessor was a little pampered.

Not long after, Haozi came to the courtyard with a wooden sword gossip mirror, and Zhang Xiaojia shouted into the house: "My son is gone." ”

"Here we are."

"By the way, daughter-in-law, let's leave dinner at noon, maybe I won't eat at Shen's house."

"Got it."

Zhang Xiaoyi came to the courtyard, and the three of them stepped out of the house.

Out of the yard, Hei Haoqin, who was covered in tendons, walked behind the two of them with a satchel on his back, and the two of them walked in front.

Hei Haoqin took out a small square box, opened it and inside was a rolled cigarette, lit it with a fire fold, took a puff, and swallowed the clouds.

He rarely smokes at home, for fear of smoking his mother.

"Where did you buy this tobacco?" Zhang Xiaojia sniffed it, and it smelled good.

Hei Haoqin hurriedly took out one again and handed it over and said, "As for the ones you smoked, I took apart the cigarette butts, saved the remaining tobacco leaves, and bought some cheap tobacco leaves mixed with the rolls." ”

Lao Zhang lit it and took a puff, and said in surprise: "This cigarette tastes good." ”

"Hehe, do you want one, young master?"

There is nothing in this world that smoking is harmful to health, and Zhang Xiaoyi has smoked it before.

"Let's have one."

"Wait for the young master, I'll give you something."

Hei Haoqin took out another one,

Zhang Xiaoyi put it in his mouth,

Haozi helped light it.

Zhang Xiaoyi took a sip.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

A strong sense of irritation floated in the trachea, and Zhang Xiaoyi couldn't help coughing a few times.

"Hahaha, he choked on the cigarette, go back to his father and take it."

Zhang Xiaojia looked at his son and smiled.

Zhang Xiaoyi tried to calm down, and it was much better to slow down for a while and then smoke. It's not because of anything else, the original body hasn't touched the cigarette for more than a month, and he is a little uncomfortable, plus although he was an old smoker in his previous life, the cigarettes there are all filtered, and there is no filter in this world.

The grandfather walked out of Zhangjia Hutong with a cigarette in his mouth, and the people passing by took the initiative to greet Zhang Xiaojia when they saw him.

In the previous life, they were all materialistic, and how many ordinary people would respect them when they saw the fortune tellers, not to mention that in this bizarre world, the status of the monk Lao Dao and Mr. Zhang Xiaojia is very high.

"Brother Jia, I'm busy."

"Brother Jia, turn around and go out of the pavilion, come over and help take a look."

"Brother A......"

One by one, the people greeted each other, and Zhang Xiaojia also responded one by one.

The Shen family is on Suzaku Street, where all the rich live.

The four major blocks of Vermilion Bird Xuanwu in Xianlai County, according to the direction, Vermilion Bird is the richest.

The Shen family is in Baishan Hutong, Zhuque Street, a big mansion with seven entrances, a vermilion gate, and two mighty stone lions erected at the door.

At this time, the door of the Shen family was open, the common people crowded around the periphery to watch the excitement, the officials at the entrance of the yamen were maintaining order, and several immortals from the Demon Suppression Division were fiddling with the corpses.

The corpse of the grandfather of the Shen family was lying at the gate, there was a big hole in his chest, the staff on his body was dyed red with blood, his face was pale, his eyes were exposed, and it looked like he should have been frightened.

The messenger of the Demon Suppression Division was dressed in black brocade, and there were seven people in total.

The man at the head was a middle-aged man, with a unicorn embroidered on his clothes, which was a magic beast.

The Demon Suppression Division is a yamen formed by the imperial court to deal with supernatural cases, and its members are generally disciples of various sects of immortal sects.

As the saying goes, learn literature and martial arts, and sell goods to the emperor's family.

They are extremely professional people in this industry.

Zhang Xiaojia stepped forward, and no one stopped him, it seems that his father really has some face in Xianlai County.

Zhang Xiaoyi looked at Shen Yuanwai's corpse, a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't say that he was sick to his stomach.

It was the first time he had seen such a horrible corpse in a peaceful world, and he didn't react at all.

I guess I saw too much of the original body and formed muscle memory.

looked at Shen Yuanwai's corpse and listened to his father's communication with the people from the Demon Suppression Division.

The head of the Demon Suppression Division handed over a cigarette, and Zhang Xiaojia took it and put it on his ear and asked, "How is it?" ”

"Brother Jia, it's been checked, it's a demon."

"What goblin knows?"

"Judging from the demonic energy that remains on the corpse of the wound, it should be a fox demon."

"When did we come to Xianlai County as a fox demon?"

"Alas, the heart was dug up, cleanly, this matter has to be investigated, Brother A, you came here ......"

Zhang Xiaojia said: "No, someone from the Shen family came in the morning and said that they would send it, let me take a look." I'm afraid I can't send it now, you guys are busy first, I'll go and say hello to the owner first, if you need help, talk to someone else. ”

"Okay, Brother Jia, then we'll be busy first."

Zhang Xiaojia didn't look at the corpse, and after saying hello, he turned around and asked Zhang Xiaoyi and them to go in.

In this case, he will definitely not be able to do anything, at least he will have to wait for a few days for the immortals to investigate.

He couldn't break the rules, so he had to explain it to the owner.

"Let's go in first." Zhang Xiaojia greeted.

"Here comes the master." Hei Haoqin glanced at the corpse on the ground and followed.

Hei Haoqin went up the steps, but Zhang Xiaoyi didn't move.

for he saw,

The finger of the Shen Yuanwai on the ground moved.
