Chapter 659: Dressed as a beggar
At this moment, the two men in the middle of the queue slowly approached with a round drum, and the one who followed behind held two drumsticks with red streamers, but did not beat the drum; They were followed by two men, each holding a gong, but they did not strike it.
A man at the back quickened his pace and ran to the front of the queue, raising his hand at Li Lamei, alas, the girl who picks up gold, do you still know me? I am the owner who lost the leather bag and was picked up by you and took the initiative to return it.
Oh, acquaintance. Acquaintance, aren't you the lost owner Uncle Jia? Li Lamei looked at her and said.
Well! Jia Rihuan nodded.
This pennant will be sent to your medical university to let the university leaders know about it. Zhong Huimin held the pennant fluttering slightly in the wind in both hands and said solemnly.
Unnecessary. I don't want to make a big deal out of it, and I don't want the university leaders to know. Li Lamei gestured as she spoke.
Then you take this pennant! Zhong Huimin said.
Nor is it necessary. Boss Zhong, take this pennant back, it was originally given to you in the village. Li Lamei said resolutely.
That's not good, I think you're much more noble than me, you must accept this pennant, or I'll let the people who beat the gongs and drums continue to beat the gongs and drums. The reason why I stopped beating gongs and drums just now is because I took into account that universities are places of education, and they should be quiet and not disturbed by noise. Zhong Huimin also had his reason in saying this, Li Lamei had no choice but to take the pennant and bow and thank you.
At this time, just after the class bell rang, Li Lamei saw Zhong Huimin and the others leave, so she rolled up the pennant and walked in the direction of the teaching building, she planned to give this pennant to Shi Zaitian.
Why give it to him? Li Lamei had her thoughts, because it was Shi Zaitian who suggested that she build a temple in her hometown in the name of her mother to dispel her mother's evil obstacles, and her mother's madness would be cured.
But where do Li Lamei and her family have money? If you can't raise money, you can't build a temple. Coincidentally, Zhong Huimin's subordinate Jia Rihuan lost a leather bag full of 50 gold bars that she found, and she returned it to the owner without greed, which not only saved the life of the lost owner Jia Rihuan, but also saved her own life.
At that time, if the leather bag full of 50 gold bars could not be recovered, Jia Rihuan would have to lose his life; And if Li Lamei, who found this valuable lost item, became greedy, left the lost place, and crossed the river by boat on the way back, then she would be dead.
The reason is that the boat she bought a ticket to take was overturned by the waves in the middle of the river, and all the passengers and crew on board were killed. The ticket she held was also invalidated, but the bad thing turned into a good thing, and she survived, inadvertently picking up her own life.
As a result, the real estate developer Boss Zhong was moved by her righteous act of collecting money without asking for the slightest return, and built a temple in Lijiawan Village in the name of her mother. Not only is her mother's crazy life better, but what is even more gratifying is that the monks of Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province come here to live in the temple and often go out of the mountain to preach the scriptures, so that the people in this village and nearby villages are influenced, and they no longer do evil, do bad things such as killing, stealing, and prostitution, but compete to do good, and do the right thing of benevolence and righteousness.
It is expected that the cause of all these good changes comes from Shi Zaitian's clear teachings at the beginning. Therefore, this pennant should be given to Shi Zaitian.
Li Lamei was worried that Shi Zaitian would not want it, so she came up with a set of lies in good faith, and when she was about to enter the teaching building to find Shi Zaitian, unexpectedly, she walked to the teaching building and met Shi Zaitian.
Shi Zaitian smiled slightly, looking confident, he greeted Li Lamei and said, I am waiting for you, do you want to send me a pennant?
Li Lamei nodded, shook off the rolled pennant, handed it to him and said, Professor Shi, how do you know that I am going to send you a pennant? It's so godly. No, no, it's a real estate developer who wants to send you a pennant.
Shi Zaitian took the pennant with both hands and said, you were right, but you corrected it artificially, and you were wrong, obviously you want to give the pennant to me. Of course, you don't know that this pennant was originally sent by your Lijiawan Village Committee to the real estate developer who built a temple to express your gratitude! The real estate developer thinks he should thank you, so he will give you the pennant, and if you think he should thank me, he will give me the pennant. Then I'll laugh it off.
Li Lamei didn't speak, just nodded.
Shi Zaitian did not hang the pennant in his office, nor in his dormitory, and of course did not collect it, but chose a Sunday to go to a city god temple on the outskirts of the provincial capital, and brought this pennant to be lit and burned in front of a clay statue of a city god.
Watching it gradually turn into a pile of ashes, he bowed down to the clay statue of the city god again and again, and then recounted in detail the merits of the real estate developer Zhong Huimin who funded the construction of a temple.
The city god appeared immediately. Shi Zaitian has yin and yang eyes, and when he looked up, he saw him, and said, Zaitian respects Chenghuang. Chenghuang said with a straight face, what credit do you ask for the real estate developer Zhong Huimin? He only has one month to live, and Yin Si has planted a white flag on his name, which of course puts a sign on the back of the death row prisoner before he is escorted to the execution ground, indicating that the death row prisoner is about to meet Hades. I mean, he won't live long. What good is it for you to take the trouble to ask him for credit?
What bad things did Zhong Huimin do that the king of Hades had to clean him up? Shi Zaitian couldn't wait to ask.
You may not know that Zhong Huimin made his fortune by speculating on land, but he owed a life, and he once instructed his subordinates to burn the house demolition nail household Ai Si alive until it turned to ashes, and no one knew.
His subordinates asked Boss Zhong, why did he burn the nail household? Zhong Huimin said that the guy was burned to ashes and disposed of, and the evidence was destroyed, so there would be no trouble.
What's even more gratifying is that the resistance has been eliminated, and our real estate industry can become bigger and stronger. Unexpectedly, Ai Si was burned to death, and his undead went to the underworld to complain, and the king of Hades decided to cut the blessings of Zhong Huimin, who lacked virtue, and gave him death, what credit do you ask him for?
Chenghuang said that Shi Zaitian felt cold in his heart. He pondered for a long time, and then said to Chenghuang, Zhong Huimin has now changed his evil and returned to the right, and has done great good, can't he offset his sins a little and save a life? Let him continue to do good.
What great good did he do? Chenghuang asked.
He built a temple in Lijiawan Village and lived in a senior monk, who played a great role in educating the villagers. At present, the public security environment in that village and dozens of surrounding villages is much stronger, and the phenomenon of killing, theft, and prostitution has almost been eliminated, presenting a gratifying scene of simple folk customs and simple customs that do not leave no roads and do not close their doors at night. These good deeds are indispensable, and Zhong Huimin has made great contributions.
Shi Zaitian spoke emotionally, and Chenghuang listened to it movingly, but he frowned and said, it's just that the undead of Ai Si, who was burned to death by Zhong Huimin, refused to give up, not to mention that now that the king of Hades has determined Zhong Huimin's death, I am afraid that he will be powerless.
Shi Zaitian said, I will make a copy of the merits that Zhong Huimin made after reforming his evil and returning to righteousness, and I would like to ask Lord Chenghuang to go to the underworld and submit it to the king of Hades to see if there is a turnaround. I am petitioning for Zhong Huimin on behalf of many villagers who have been persuaded to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.
In that case, then do as you wish! Chenghuang said, bowing and picking up the burned pennant. It is said that the burned pennant has become a pile of ashes, how can it be picked up? It turned out that the pennant before it was burned was masculine, also called the yang pennant, but after the burning, although people saw a pile of ashes, the beings in the netherworld saw a pennant, but it could only be called a yin pennant.
At this time, Chenghuang shook off the pennant in his hand and saw that it was embroidered with the praise of "noble morality, blessing the people", he actually sighed to himself, this shows that Zhong Huimin has indeed abandoned evil and followed good, I will take the pennant that people gave him to the palace of Hades, and then bring a copy of the merit you repaired for him, and let the Hades see whether the Hades can exempt Zhong Huimin from the capital crime, it is difficult to say. However, in front of Hades, I will try my best to give Zhong Huimin a few kind words.
After Shi Zaitian returned, he immediately sharpened the ink and wrote a recital, and came to the City God Temple again to burn it to the City God. Seven days later, Chenghuang, who had returned from a trip to Hades, replied to him in Shi Zaitian's nightdream, saying that King Yama said that from now on, as long as Zhong Huimin meets three requirements, he can be pardoned for capital crimes, one is to surrender himself; the second is to comfort the family of the deceased and compensate for economic losses in accordance with the law; The third is to insist on doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
This should be done, I will communicate with Zhong Huimin, and it will be done. Shi Zaitian made such a promise, and woke up and couldn't sleep again.
As soon as the morning dawned, he took leave of absence and went to Zhong Huimin's real estate company to meet Zhong Huimin to inform him of the solution.
Considering that Zhong Huimin didn't know him, Shi Zaitian didn't want to reveal his identity as a professor at L Provincial Medical University, he deliberately wore a beggar suit, and wore a pair of galoshes on a sunny day, and pasted a little mud on the upper, which looked dirty.
Shi Zaitian wanted to appear in front of Zhong Huimin, who was the boss, with this image, to see how he reacted, if he scolded him with a snobbish attitude, Shi Zaitian decided to give up on him and ignore this matter.
Unexpectedly, Shi Zaitian appeared in front of Zhong Huimin so sloppily, he still behaved very calmly, although he was not enthusiastic, but he was not indifferent, and arranged for a staff member in the office to receive Shi Zaitian.
The staff called Shi Zaitian aside and said, our company has a bathhouse, I will take you to take a bath, and then let you change into the clean clothes prepared by our company for homeless people, and then you will go to talk to our boss Zhong.
Shi Zaitian, who was dressed as a beggar, smiled and said Thank you, Boss Zhong, for taking care of me. You don't have to worry about me. He immediately took off the beggar's suit that was covered outside, revealing a new tunic suit, then squatted down and unchained the big satchel, took out a pair of polished leather shoes from the inside, and replaced the pair of galoshes with mud on his feet, which looked quite stylish and energetic.
The staff looked at Shi Zaitian with admiration and asked, what are your origins? Shi Zaitian said, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, I'll talk about it when I see your boss Zhong.
Then the staff took Shi Zaitian to the company's general manager's office to see Zhong Huimin. Zhong Huimin didn't care about the new-looking Shi Zaitian, but looked at the staff member and asked, where did you send that beggar just now? Or was it sent away?
The staff smiled slightly, but did not answer, but Shi Zaitian opened his mouth to grab the white, and it was the beggar below.
Zhong Huimin looked at him seriously, and he didn't look like a beggar no matter how he looked at it. Shaking his head, he stared at him again and said, are you lying?
The staff interjected, Boss Zhong, he is indeed the person you saw just now, he is just a beggar in disguise, and the beggar suit and the pair of galoshes with mud are still in his big satchel!
This comrade is right. Shi Zaitian said, squatted down again, unchained the big satchel, and the beggar suit stuffed into a stone was revealed.
Zhong Huimin, who felt weird, asked, Do you have anything to do with me? Why pretend to be a beggar again? What is the origin?
Shi Zaitian did not immediately answer in words, but in action. He pulled the chain of his satchel and stood up, took out a document from his body, and handed it to Zhong Huimin. Zhong Huimin saw that there was his image, name, and unit title on the certificate.
Zhong Huimin suddenly returned the certificate to him in awe and said, Oh! It turns out that you are Professor Shi of L Province Medical University, amazing, amazing. Why didn't you reveal your identity directly, but disguised yourself as the most disadvantaged group at the bottom of society to meet me?
I just want to try whether you pay attention or not, and whether you care about the disadvantaged groups at the bottom of society. It turns out that you are not bad, and your decent arrangement makes Shi feel warm. Shi Zaitian expressed his heart.
Is there anything wrong with Professor Shi coming to me? Zhong Huimin asked.
Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall. There is something important to tell. Shi Zaitian said directly, but it sounded a little mysterious.
What's important? Zhong Huimin asked plainly, but his heart was trembling.
I can only speak to you alone. Shi Zaitian has words in the dialect, which makes people feel more and more mysterious.
Zhong Huimin understood the meaning and said to the staff, you avoid it.
