"Shopkeeper Zhao, I know you this time, you want the wicked to sue first, you say it first, I want to see what you say!" Sister-in-law Wang hugged the child behind her to her chest and stopped fighting with him.

"The city god is on top, the small one is the shopkeeper of the coffin shop Zhao in Shucheng, who is nicknamed Zhao Dashanren, and he has also helped the people in ordinary times, giving porridge sheds, and giving a few coffins to the lonely and widowed old people, this emperor can testify. Back then, there was an old brother Wang Cai, who was like a family with me. The little one was an apprentice when he was young, and later he wanted to open a coffin shop, lacking capital, this Wang Cai brother, once lent me a thousand taels of silver, explained the interest, and did business with me. Later, my business was booming, and I returned the principal and interest to Brother Wang Cai last year and moved to the center of Shucheng to start a business. Who would have thought, a few days ago, I was in the coffin shop to buy and sell, sister-in-law Wang came to me crying, I saw her, hurriedly let her to the house, let the insiders have good tea and good meals, and asked the reason. Sister-in-law Wang cried and said: "When we went back to our parents' house, Wang Cai, a short-lived ghost, was drunk at home that day, accidentally caught fire, and even burned down the house, leaving us orphans and widows, how can I live this life!" I am a kind person, otherwise the people of Shucheng would say that I am a good person, but my kindness has caused trouble. This sister-in-law Wang said to me yesterday: "Shopkeeper Zhao, our mother and son live with you, and it is not a long-term solution, please return the money you owe to Wang Cai, even with interest, and we will go back to our parents' house to join relatives and friends, do a small business, and live a good life." When I heard this, it was like five thunderbolts, and I said: "I borrowed Brother Wang's money back then, with interest, more than 1,300 taels, and I have already returned it to Wang Cai, and now I have come to ask for money, is it clear that I am here to blackmail me!" So I asked her, 'Since the king said that I still owe you money, please bring me the IOU.' Wang's sister-in-law couldn't take it out, saying that the house had burned down, and she went there to find an IOU. I saw that their orphans and widows were pitiful, so I took them in, who would have thought that she would take revenge, and see that she could not live with me for a long time, but before leaving, she wanted to blackmail me for a sum of money, and go away, I am a businessman, I don't have the same knowledge as her, for the sake of the face of the dead brother Wang Cai, give her twenty taels of silver, and let her go back to her mother's house to live, she is good, so she cried in my house, saying that I have a bad conscience and want to come to the city god to confront her. I returned the money, don't talk about coming in front of the city god, even if you go to the emperor, you are not afraid!"

After the shopkeeper Zhao finished speaking, he kowtowed to the statue of the city god, and said to Sister-in-law Wang: "Sister-in-law Wang, you can say it! I am innocent, if I really didn't pay back your money, then I will ask Lord Chenghuang to punish you." ”

"Lord Chenghuang, don't listen to him! He, he's all nonsense!" Sister-in-law Wang hugged the child and cried to the statue of Chenghuang: "Our Wang Cai, that dead ghost, I told him before I was alive, hurry up and get the silver back, but he said: 'Zhao's shopkeeper is very important to do business, besides, the interest is also a lot, we are not short of money to spend, wait for a year or two." Zhao's shopkeeper has made a fortune in business, and he will not forget our jì, we are small friends. "What a small friend, my family Wang Cai, even the house with people have been burned to death, our mother and son now have no tile, no place to stand below, thinking that the shopkeeper Zhao still owes us silver, I have to find him, ask for the silver, can live in peace." Who would have thought of him, seeing that the king was dead, and there was no proof of death, so he came to death and did not admit it, saying that the money had already been repaid, you patted your conscience, if the king had not lent you the silver back then, how could you be so five people and six people now. ”

"Sister-in-law Wang, you said I didn't pay back, can you see my IOU?" said the shopkeeper Zhao.

Just a few days before Wang Cai's death, he showed it to me, saying that this was the 1,000 taels of silver that Wang Cai owed a few years ago, and it was almost 1,500 taels with interest!" Sister-in-law Wang stared at the shopkeeper Zhao with fire in her eyes.

"Heh, since you've seen it, why don't you bring it to me to ask for it? It's clearly a lie and come here to blackmail. ”

"It's not that dead ghost, saying that you have to do business! I'm a woman's family, and it's inconvenient to show my face, it's not, my family is ruined, I have no way out, I want to find you!" said Wang's sister-in-law.

"I think you're deliberately cheating!" said Shopkeeper Zhao angrily. "When you come to my house, you see that my shop is doing good business and that my family is rich, so you have a bad heart, and you remember that Wang Cai mentioned that he once had a favor to me, so he came to me to ask for a debt, and your idea is good, but what an innocent person I am Zhao Dashan! Besides, when you came to my house, why didn't you tell me about the debt at first? Why did you wait for a few days before you asked me for the debt? It was obvious that you saw that I was honest and came to blackmail me. ”

"I came to your house from a widow's house, hoping that you would hear the news of Wang Cai's death and take the initiative to take out the arrears, who wants you to pretend not to know and ignore our mother and son. I can also see that you are determined to repay the debt, Lord Chenghuang, you have to make the decision for me!"

Piao Ranzi listened to their conversation for a long time, but knew the purpose of their visit, it was for the debt, Zhao shopkeeper said that he had already paid it back, and Sister-in-law Wang said that he hadn't paid it back, so he asked him, the city god, to give it off. On his first day in office, he encountered this tricky situation, and looked at the clever ghost with his eyes, and the clever ghost shook his head at him slightly, signaling him to leave it alone.

I kindly gave her twenty taels of silver and sent her away, but she wanted to come and swallow the elephant with a lack of heart, and she had to accuse me of owing her more than 1,000 taels to her family.

"Lord Chenghuang, you will manifest your spirit, today, see who told a lie, if I tell a lie, I will blackmail his money, and when I go out, I will ask Lord Chenghuang to repay the disaster!" After Sister-in-law Wang finished speaking, she said to the shopkeeper Zhao: "The surname is Zhao, do you dare to gamble?"

"Why don't you dare!" Lord Chenghuang is on top, if I don't pay off my debts, I will also ask Lord Chenghuang to take revenge when I go out, and see who of us is lying!" The shopkeeper Zhao stood up and said to Sister-in-law Wang: "What's the matter, I also have a curse, let's wait and see, don't say anything else, if Lord Chenghuang doesn't care, you can go to the government to sue, as long as you take out an IOU, there is real evidence, I admit that I am unlucky; ”

"The surname is Zhao, you obviously know that the IOU was burned down with the fire, and now you have no fear, bad intentions, and sooner or later you will be punished!" Sister-in-law Wang stood up, hugged the child, and walked out angrily.

The child in Wang's sister-in-law's arms was just two or three years old. The child looked at the statue of gods and ghosts in the temple, he was afraid, and his eyes were clear, and he saw that there were many strange people on the clay statue, on the roof, and underground, and the sister-in-law Wang was angry, and she was in a hurry, so frightened that the child cried.

"What are you crying about! Let's not do anything wrong, we are not afraid of the three more ghosts calling the door!" Sister-in-law Wang held the child, to carry him behind her back, when she crossed the temple gate, she shook her arm, and with a bang, the child's head hit the door frame, and suddenly a big bag was raised, and the child cried in pain this time.

"Sister-in-law Wang, how is it? Don't you want to swear by a curse, whoever tells a lie and goes out will have retribution? Look, the retribution of the city god will come immediately, why is the child's head swollen with a big bag!?"
