Chapter 26
Mr. Zhao's family concealed something from Zhenlingsi, and offered a high price, and asked for a high price to buy Ping An Talisman.
Overall, Ding Xiao seemed to have guessed seven or eight points in his heart.
Zhou Gu did not die of illness, it is very likely that he was killed by Miss Zhao and his husband!
Mr. Zhao would definitely not make any public statements about this kind of thing, but he was afraid that the soul of the face would cause evil, so he spared no expense to deal with the matter.
If the soul of the Face retaliates against the evil spirit, its cruelty and strength increase, it is not a joke!
"Sir, I know you are not an official service. No matter what the case is, Mr. Zhao is very good at hand. Even if I go to report to the official, I will most likely not be able to avenge Mr. Zhou."
"The only thing I hope now is that Mr. Zhou can leave well... If my child wasn't still young, I would have to report to the official even if I had fought my life!" As he said that, the peasant woman couldn't help but sobbed.
Seeing the peasant woman sad, Ding Xiao knew that she must have blamed herself and comforted her, "Auntie, you have tried your best. You can leave quickly and don't let others see it."
After Ding Xiao came back, he took Hou Yi to Mr. Zhao's mansion with him.
On the way, he told Hou Yi about Zhou Gu.
"Brother Nail, if the main soul is a ghost, the spiritual appearance will inevitably change, and it will be extremely cruel..." Hou Yi felt a little creepy as he said.
Ding Xiao's face was solemn, "I don't think the peasant woman is lying. Combined with the client's various behaviors, this is very likely."
"The only good news now is that Zhou Gu's spiritual appearance is the four-eared velvet rabbit."
Four-eared velvet rabbit is a common herbivorous animal. Because its hair is soft and smooth, it is also raised by many farmers to obtain rabbit hair.
"But if it backfires the soul of the ghost master, the spirit evil will definitely not be a four-eared velvet rabbit at that time." Hou Yi said, "The most important thing is that Zhou Gu's last wish will definitely not be returning to Caoshui Village. If you really send it back, you may also have evil!"
Ding Xiao thought for a while and said, "The evil ghost is not that easy to change. The Yun Niang I sent before, her husband was killed and she did not become a evil ghost. This requires the right time, place, people and decisions."
"It's not a bad ghost, it's also an unjust soul..." Hou Yi said.
"Let's not think so much about it first. Since we have taken over the task, the corpse guard has to fight and flee, and the coffin carrying the coffin must not leave the coffin. We must all pick up the coffin first." Ding Xiao said in a deep voice.
Soon, they arrived at Mr. Zhao's mansion.
When the servant saw Ding Xiao and Hou Yi's outfit, he hurriedly invited the two of them into the door.
"Sir, please wait, the master will arrive soon."
White cloth can be seen hanging everywhere in the Zhao Mansion, and the servants are wearing mourning clothes. Outsiders seem to be very concerned about Zhou Gu's death.
"Brother Nail, they may be afraid that Zhou Gu will come back!" Hou Yi whispered.
Ding Xiao nodded, but said nothing.
Soon, a big fat man with a big belly shaking and quickly greeted him, "I have met Lord Zhenlingsi."
It seems that this person is "Master Zhao" Zhao Shoucai.
Behind him were two female relatives, one was a half-old Xu Niang, and the other was much younger, with a plain appearance but a plump figure.
Ding Xiao nodded to Zhao Shoucai, "Mr. Zhao, don't be polite. Take us to pick up Zhou Gu's coffin?"
"Uh, sir, I mentioned to Zhenlingsi before that I want to buy two peace talismans at a high price. I wonder if sir has brought it..." Zhao Shoucai hesitated a little, and his small eyes did not dare to look directly at Ding Xiao.
Before the person gave it away, I asked about the peace talisman first. It seems that Zhao Shoucai was also afraid!
"Take it, you need two, right?"
"No, no, that, it would be better if I could have three or four pieces, but Zhenlingsi wouldn't let me ask for so many... If adults have one, I'm willing to buy it at a high price!"
"As a corpse protector, I naturally have it, but what is the high price you mentioned?"
"600...no, 650 taels per ticket!" Zhao Shoucai looked at Ding Xiao with a gaze.
Ding Xiao's eyes turned and saw the plump woman secretly watching her behind her mother, as if observing her every move.
He looks like he is a ghost in his heart!
This family is very nervous!
Now Ding Xiao is almost certain that Zhou Gu has never died of illness, and Zhao Shoucai and the others must know the cause of his death!
That's the case...
"650 taels are indeed a high price." Ding Xiao nodded, "Okay, I have four pictures on my body anyway, and two of them have been booked. If two more, I will give them to Mr. Zhao."
"What, sir, have four peace talismans on you?"
"Yes. But the other two have been decided."
"I'm going to settle... Sir, can those two be sold to me? I'm willing..."
Ding Xiao immediately interrupted Zhao Shoucai, "How can I sell it to you after someone else's order? I really sell it to you. Wouldn't I be untrustworthy?"
When Zhao Shoucai heard this, he immediately became anxious.
It would be fine if Ding Xiao didn’t have that much, but since he had it now, Zhao Shoucai wanted to snatch it!
"Sir, we really need the peace talisman! That, I, I am willing to pay 800 taels!"
"This is not a matter of money! You also know that some people can draw a peace talisman for several days. After drawing, they need to recover their strength, which will take ten days and half a month to delay!"
"We will pay double!" The person who spoke was the one who spoke, and she rushed to say, "Sir, we will pay 1,300 taels to buy the other two! First, the adults can buy two peace talismans from the other people, and also explain them to others. Second, it is also our wish! Please be sure to agree."
Ding Xiao pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time.
"You really need peace talismans so much?"
"Need, needed! Much needed!"
Ding Xiao sighed, "Hey, since you are so anxious, I will give it to you first."
Mr. Zhao's family suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said anxiously, "Thank you sir!"
Four peace talismans, 3,800 taels, the price is almost doubled compared to the price that Zhang Xuan and others took!
There is too much silver, but fortunately, Hou Yi's storage bag is still the silver storage bag of Yiwu Pavilion, which can only hold gold and silver, but the capacity is much larger than Ding Xiao's.
Zhou Gu’s coffin was placed in the outer courtyard, and was closely guarded by servants around him.
Seeing that the people from Zhenlingsi came, these servants were relieved.
"Have the corpse fixed?" Ding Xiao asked.
"It has been fixed firmly in accordance with the requirements of Lord Zhenlingsi!" Zhao Shoucai hurriedly replied.
Hou Yi first burned incense on the coffin, then put two light feather talismans on the bottom of the coffin, tied them with a coffin rope, and left the Zhao family with Ding Xiao on his back.
"Brother Nail, when I see their family, I can be sure that Zhou Gu*** was murdered by the Miss Zhao family and her husband." Hou Yi said.
Ding Xiao sighed. As the peasant woman said, Zhenlingsi only cared about dead people, regardless of living people, and they had no right to interfere in the affairs of the Zhao family's mansion.
"So what? Everyone knows that there is a spirit evil, but no one shows mercy when they want to kill someone."
"Let's hurry up and find a place to stay before dark." Ding Xiao said, looking at the coffin, "Zhou Gu's soul must have a bad spirit, we need to prepare early!"
