"You also said just now, killing people pays for their lives, and debts are repaid, and the shopkeeper Zhao also knows this truth. He was confused for a while, thinking that Brother Wang was dead, and there was no proof of death, so we would call him and let him know that the money that had no conscience would be repaid sooner or later, and it would have to be doubled, and he would no longer dare to do this in the future. Murong Yan said, and said a plan to Piaoranzi, the land, and the clever ghost.

"Great!" Piao Ranzi asked again who would handle this matter. The clever ghost volunteered: "I'll go." ”

"This shopkeeper Zhao, isn't he going to bring three animal gifts, and find two more ghost pawns. Piaoranzi said. "I think that let the ghost junior and ghost junior four make the merit of the crime, as long as the shopkeeper Zhao sincerely repents, this city god will no longer investigate them for the crime of accepting bribes privately. ”

The clever ghost brought the ghost little three ghosts and the fourth ghost, and the second ghost heard that the city god wanted them to make the merit for their crimes, and they were very happy, and when they came to Piao Ranzi, they wanted to kowtow and thank them, Piao Ranzi aroused them, and told them to act according to the plan according to the arrangement of the clever ghost, and the three ghosts received the order and went out of the house.

Piao Ranzi asked Murong Yan: "What did this clever little ghost do before he died?"

"Brother Piao, his father and mother died early before his death, he was a flower child, and later died of hunger. My father saw that he was clever, so he kept him by his side and put a stamp on Yin Si, telling him not to go to the underworld and stay in the City God Temple as an errand boy. Now you see, he is very clever and smart, and he is better than all the ghosts. ”

"Yes, he's a pitiful background. Piao Ranzi has an idea in his heart, he will leave in the future, and he must be a clever ghost to take over the position of this city god.

The clever ghost took the ghost junior and the ghost fourth, hid his figure, rode the yin wind, and looked for the coffin shop of Zhao's shopkeeper. After a while, the three ghosts came to the street in the center of Shucheng, and sure enough, they saw a coffin shop, with the plaque saying "Zhao Ji Coffin Shop", and the guys inside were busy and soliciting business.

There was no figure of the shopkeeper Zhao in the shop, and the three ghosts crossed the wall and looked for it behind the shop. A dozen carpenters in the backyard are working to build the coffin. Shopkeeper Zhao was explaining the matter of the carpenter's foreman, then returned to the inner courtyard, took some money, hurried out the back door, and headed towards the market.

The three ghosts followed secretly, through the streets and alleys, and gradually moved away from the center of Shucheng to the livestock market in Shucheng. There are a few willows planted around this empty field, and the people outside the city usually come here early in the morning to buy and sell livestock, but today is not a market day, and the time is almost noon, and there are very few people who buy and sell livestock.

Shopkeeper Zhao looked around and saw an old lady holding a white goat, which had not yet been sold, and was waiting for the buyer.

"Auntie, how much do you want to sell for this goat?" said Shopkeeper Zhao.

"Big brother, I raised it myself, you can give eight hanging money. The old lady easily saw a buyer and hastened to answer.

Shopkeeper Zhao saw that her face was wrinkled and wearing rags, and there was no doubt that she must be a peasant family outside the city, and said with a smile: "Your sheep is not fat, what about me, I sincerely want to sell it, you see, I will give you seven hanging money, how about it?"

"Big brother, I'm an old lady who has raised it for a year, and I expect it to sell it for some money to get by, so don't make a bargain. The old lady said.

"Auntie, I want to buy it sincerely, you see that you waited all morning, and you didn't sell it, and you have to bring it back at noon, I said, I'll add half a hanging money to you, seven and a half hanging, it's okay?

The old lady looked around, and couldn't see that there were still buyers, and then looked at the shopkeeper Zhao, and sighed: "Big brother, it's not easy for me to raise it, so you can give eight hanging money." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said with a smile: "Auntie, you see, you have been waiting for almost a long time, how can anyone buy it? Mutton sellers, listen to your price, buy it, you can't make money, definitely don't want it; you have to slaughter what you buy to eat, hire someone to slaughter it, and you have to give labor money; it takes a lot of effort to slaughter it yourself." Otherwise, you will continue to sell, let yours go, walk mine, I dare say, in the next market, you will not be able to sell at this price. ”

In one sentence, the old lady said in her heart, she waited for the money, gritted her teeth, and said: "Big brother, seven and a half hangs, you can take it away, and I won't take it back." With that, he untied the rope from the tree and handed it to the shopkeeper Zhao.

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Zhao took out a string of big copper coins from his arms, counted them, all of them were ten big coins, one hundred yuan for one hanging, a total of seven hundred and fifty yuan, a total of seventy-five.

The old lady took the money, and she didn't feel happy, after all, she sold it for half a penny and staggered away.

Shopkeeper Zhao led the sheep, so he was so unhappy that he would send him to a slaughterhouse not far away. This is to thank the city god, the whole sheep sent to him, Wang's sister-in-law suffered a loss in the city god temple, it must be the city god who promised to help secretly, it seems that this ghost also accepts gifts and bribes, money can make the ghost grind, it is really a thousand years of hard wisdom.

As for Sister-in-law Wang going to the government to sue him, he is even more afraid: at the entrance of the yamen, open to the south, don't come in if you have no money, he, the owner of the coffin shop, is more or less powerful than her, a widow's family. Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Zhao is even more proud, but don't be too unconscionable, in the future, when your business becomes bigger, you can help their orphans and widows, and you are a good person, regardless of the past suspicions, the reputation of revenge will spread all over Shucheng.

Out of the livestock market, there was a small forest in front, there were no pedestrians passing by, the sheep did not go forward, and let the shopkeeper Zhao pull the rope.

"Oh, yes, this animal still has spirituality, and it must know that it is going to be slaughtered. Shopkeeper Zhao muttered to himself, picked up a wooden stick from the ground, and whipped it.

It's okay not to fight, but when it does, the sheep jumps up and bleats.

"You brute, I spent money to honor you to Lord Chenghuang, it's so boring!" Zhao shopkeeper pulled the rope tightly, lest it break free and run away.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, I don't care if you are filial to Chenghuang, you shouldn't give the old lady half a penny!" the sheep opened its mouth and spoke.

"Ahh

"Monster!" Shopkeeper Zhao swiped the rope and was about to run away. However, as if his feet were being dragged by someone, he threw himself forward and fell to the ground.

The white sheep moved his four hooves and walked to the shopkeeper Zhao. "What kind of monster are you!" Shopkeeper Zhao was afraid several times, lest it come and eat him.

"I'm not a monster, I'm just an ordinary goat. "The sheep's mouth is open and closed again.

Shopkeeper Zhao stood up and looked around, there was nothing abnormal. He bought a coffin, and he was not small, and quickly calmed down. Asked, "How can you speak human language?"

"You want to kill me, but you shouldn't die, so I will persuade you. "Aries has spoken.

Seeing that the goat had no intention of harming him, Shopkeeper Zhao no longer panicked, and asked, "Why shouldn't you die?" Since you are reincarnated as a livestock, you are killed by people to eat, I know that you die early and reincarnate early, don't you want to give birth as soon as possible?"

"Shopkeeper Zhao, it's true to die early and be reincarnated early, but if I die before I pay off my debt, Lord Yama will definitely refuse to forgive, and he will be severely punished. The white goat said again.

"Oh, what the hell is going on, you say. "Shopkeeper Zhao is not afraid, he is very curious now.

"I owed this old lady a lot of money in my previous life, and I didn't pay it back before I died, Lord Yama asked me to give birth to this sheep, sold it for eight dollars, and then reported to Yin Si. "Goat Road.

"What's the matter, you owe the old lady a little money in your previous life, and if you want to become a sheep, you will give her eight hanging money??" Zhao's shopkeeper was surprised.

"Yes. These eight hangs of money are my reincarnation of animals, and Lord Yama asked the judge to calculate them, of which three hangs of money are interest, and four hangs of money are the labor money of the old lady who got up early and cut the grass in the dark to support me. After I sold eight hangs for money, paid off the old lady's account, and then reported to the Livestock Division of the Yin Si Hades Palace, I was reincarnated as a human. ”
