Chapter 10: Curse
Chapter 10: Curse
Zhang Dabing stayed in the cell. This was his second time in the cell.
Last time he was framed, this time he really killed someone.
But finally killing Boss Tan relieved him of the anger in his heart.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps outside and a familiar figure walked out of the darkness.
"Hua Laojiu?" Zhang Dabing gritted his teeth. He almost died in the Ma Family Ancestral Hall twice, all thanks to Hua Laojiu.
"Bold, how are you doing?"
"Were you the one who harmed me before?"
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. It's not me who wants to harm you. It's Boss Tan. He has set his eyes on your wife. As for me, you know I will work for whoever pays me. But you are lucky to be able to save your life this time. It's a blessing for a fool. A noble person helped you."
"Ah? I saved my life?" Zhang Dabing was delighted.
I really killed someone.
"Young Master Tan said that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. You killed someone later, but Boss Tan harmed you first, so he wants to let you go."
"Master Tan, is he back?" Zhang Dabing asked hurriedly.
"Yes, Master Tan has returned and is busy dealing with the affairs of the Tan family. He asked you to leave on your own. In fact, he has always known about your wife, but he didn't dare to tell you."
"Why? Oh, I know, it's because of Boss Tan!" Zhang Dabing found the reason.
"Yes, the entire Tanjia Town knows about it, but only Young Master Tan chose to use a small method to tell you. It was Young Master Tan who arranged for me to meet you that day just to give you a hint, but I didn't expect it would develop to this point." When this point was mentioned, Hua Laojiu felt a chill on his back. He said the truth without hiding anything, but it was precisely because it was the truth that he felt it was terrifying.
The whole thing was accomplished in the way of doing good things, but in the end the only beneficiary was Tan Wenjie himself. The only thing that Hua Laojiu couldn't understand was why Tan Wenjie was so sure that Boss Tan would die.
But in Zhang Dabing's opinion, it was completely different. His experience since he found out his wife was cheating on him was similar to that of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. Even if Tan Wenjie was a god, he would not have guessed that he would become a disciple of a Maoshan Taoist priest, fight with magic, and even invite the Monkey King to possess him.
So Master Tan is a good man.
"I want to be Young Master Tan's rickshaw driver!" Zhang Dabing said.
"No, if you kill his uncle and stay in Tanjia Town, wouldn't it mean that Young Master Tan killed his own uncle?" Hua Laojiu shook his head without thinking. He had been told this before he came.
"Master Tan has prepared some money for your trip and left it at your house. Oh, and your wife is also at home. Take her away, and don't kill anyone this time."
Hua Laojiu opened the cell door and watched Zhang Dabing trotting away. He suspected that Tan Wenjie was not worried that others would say he killed his own uncle and give him a bad reputation, but was worried that Zhang Dabing's character would do bad things. He was bold and easily provoked, and would get angry at whatever others said. He was also stubborn and was most likely to do bad things.
As for what will happen to Zhang Dabing and his seriously injured wife in the future after he returns home and gets the money, no one cares anymore.
In Tanjia Town, Tan Wenjie has moved into the large house with three entrances and three exits of the Tan Mansion.
Master Liu packed up and ran away on the night of Boss Tan's death, taking away a lot of gold and silver treasures worth thousands of taels of silver. To Tan Wenjie, it was a drop in the bucket, so he just issued a wanted order and didn't care.
There is no way the money can be recovered.
Tear down the government office and build a police force, and Tan Wenjie is the police captain Ajie.
The ancestors and the Three Pure Ones were worshipped in the backyard, and incense was burned every day.
Besides this, he also had to accept a million-dollar inheritance, so Tan Wenjie was extremely busy.
The Tan family’s business is extremely large, and the area within dozens of miles is related to the Tan family, which is enough for Tan Wenjie to live on for ten lifetimes.
If you put your gold, silver and jewelry out in the open, something bad will happen.
Living in a turbulent time, shops and money are not as valuable as gold. Tan Wenjie plans to save some gold, make it into floor tiles, pour a layer of cement on it, and then randomly place some silver, copper coins, and other things on the ground. If someone really comes to steal and rob, they will steal the silver, copper coins, etc., but they will not know that the floor tiles under their feet are the most valuable.
Then it was time to take care of Tan Baiwan's funeral. As the only descendant, Tan Wenjie had to hold a grand ceremony for him and wear mourning clothes.
This world has ghosts. Tan Wenjie was not sure whether Tan Baiwan would come to trouble him after he became a ghost, so he directly invited the monks and Taoist priests from the temples within a radius of 30 miles to chant sutras and pray for the soul to be reborn. He even invited a professional mourning team of more than 100 people to cry from day to night. Not only that, Tanjia Town set up a buffet and invited a troupe of actors to perform.
In short, Tan Baiwan must be given a grand funeral!
Including Master Xu, Master Qian, the little Taoist boy, and the soldier shot dead by Tan Wenjie were also saved together, and they were never given the chance to become ghosts.
Paper money, paper figures, paper horses, etc. are burned for free, just like burning cash, which makes the paper-making craftsmen feel sad.
The sky above Tanjia Town was covered with thick black smoke all day long, and ghosts from the surrounding villages couldn't help but take a second look when they passed by.
The bodies are also cremated and turned into ashes to prevent them from turning into zombies.
Nothing happened on the seventh day, and Tan Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief.
It's all over.
Tan Wenjie still stopped the group of mages who wanted to leave after finishing their work.
"Master Tan, what's wrong?" asked a wizard.
Because Tan Wenjie was very sincere and always polite, they all had a very good impression of him.
"I want to ask, how long will it take for someone like my uncle to be reincarnated?"
"Boss Tan died a violent death, and his life span is not over yet. It will take at least 30 to 50 years to wait."
"Can I cut in line?"
"what?"
I've only heard of people insulting others by saying whether they are in a hurry to be reincarnated, but I didn't expect that Tan Wenjie actually wanted to cut in line.
"I can't bear to let my uncle suffer in the underworld. Do you have any way to bribe the ghost messenger to let my uncle reincarnate first?"
"This……"
"I'll add money!"
……
"It's stable. It's finally stable now."
Tan Wenjie felt relaxed.
Multiple problems, solved at once.
He first used the method of salvation to prevent several people from causing trouble after death, then cremated the bodies to avoid corpse transformation, and finally spent money and used connections to let Boss Tan jump the queue for reincarnation to avoid his return during the Ghost Festival. He solved all the situations he could think of.
stable!
He even received a reminder that [Ghost Messenger Zhao Yinmao's Favorability +1] because of his generosity.
"Grandmaster, you are the one who will take care of my two fellow disciples. I have arranged for someone to help them jump the queue for reincarnation. Oh, and I have arranged for someone to make a golden body for you. It's made of pure gold. See if you like it."
[Daily Blessing: Luck +1]
In the following days, Tan Wenjie's life was quite busy.
When he had the strength, he practiced boxing; when he didn't, he practiced magic. He lived a pretty comfortable life.
Until this day.
