I frowned and immediately thought of Lin Mei's family. They must not be wrong.
It seems to have something to do with Li Juan's death.
"Okay, just wait for me for a while, I'll go back right away." I said.
After hanging up the phone, I said to Long Shuiyao:
"Miss Long, I have something to do and need to leave immediately. You need to finish the rest by yourself. I have already told you the rules. Originally, your dad should have done the job of picking up bones. Unfortunately, your dad is no longer here.
Only you can come. Remember, you must wear red gloves and recite the Ksitigarbha Sutra three times before picking up the bones."
Long Shuiyao nodded and started to prepare.
"In addition, after picking up the bones, don't close the coffin first to let the old man dissipate the evil spirit."
Long Shuiyao nodded quickly to express his understanding.
I looked at the foreman again and said, "Others will refill the burial pit. Remember the taboos I told you. You must follow the steps and make sure there are no mistakes."
After explaining, I was about to leave, but Long Shuiyao called out a girl from the crowd who was dressed like a colorful golden pheasant.
"Buhui, send the ninth young master back." Long Shuiyao ordered the girl, and then introduced to me: "This is my sister, Long Buhui."
Only then did I know that she was Long Shuiyao's sister, but this girl's eyebrows were slightly raised and her eyes were arrogant. At first glance, she looked like a rebellious girl. She had a lawless character.
I smiled and nodded to Long Buhui, saying "Sorry for the trouble."
Long Buhui looked me up and down, reluctantly said to Long Shuiyao, "I understand," and took the lead in getting in the car.
This girl was obviously a little hostile to me, so I smiled helplessly and got into the car.
Originally, I thought that Lin's trouble was just a dispute caused by a misunderstanding, but what I didn't expect was that a crisis that almost turned into a massacre was coming quietly.
Half an hour later, the car arrived in front of my shop. Before I got out of the car, I saw that the shop was surrounded by water, and a faint smell of corpses emanated from the shop.
This corpse smell is also called corpse fragrance. Ordinary people can't smell it at all, but it can't escape my nose. I have smelled this smell too many times.
I asked Long Buhui to wait for me in the car for a while, then opened the door and got out of the car. When I walked into the shop, the faint smell became even clearer.
Huzi was waiting for me at the door. When he saw me getting off the car, he quickly came up to greet me.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"They are looking for trouble for Lin Wan." Huzi said.
As soon as I finished speaking, a familiar figure rushed over, raised his fist and hit me in the face.
"Zhang, what did you do to Li Juan?"
Huzi didn't wait for him to knock me down, he flew up and kicked the man in the stomach, and kicked him away. He knelt on the ground with his legs and retched in pain.
When I saw it, this person turned out to be Lin Tao.
And the corpse emanated from him.
I couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Lin Mei had told him that Li Juan hugged me that day.
Lin Tao was kicked away by Huzi, and five or six young people rushed over from beside him and surrounded Huzi. Huzi laughed ferociously and had a knife in his hand, looking at these people with a sneer.
I quickly stretched out my hand to stop this guy, for fear of causing death.
"Zhang Jiuyang, you are finally back." Lin Mei's voice sounded from behind the crowd, and she sat on my chair.
I simply ignored Lin Mei and focused on Lin Wan. She had obviously just cried.
"What's going on?" I asked quietly.
"Zhang Jiuyang, they insist that it was my brother who harmed Li Juan, and they insist on asking me to give an explanation."
I couldn't help but hear the story about Lin Wan and her brother getting drunk and having a wedding. It seemed that Lin Mei's family was here to blackmail someone.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." I said.
"Of course I have you, I haven't settled my account with you yet!" Lin Mei sneered.
I sneered, walked to the bathroom and cleaned my hands. I raised my head and looked at myself in the mirror. I was suddenly stunned.
"how so?"
I frowned deeply, then left the bathroom, and quickly covered my grandpa’s memorial tablet with a black cloth.
"Huzi, burn some mugwort leaves in the northeast corner in front of the door and light four sticks as incense."
Huzi responded, grabbed a handful of mugwort leaves and four sticks of incense and went out.
Lin Mei stood up angrily, "Zhang Jiuyang, didn't you hear what I was talking to you?"
"If you have anything to say, wait until he comes in." I pointed at Huzi and said.
"Humph, you are pretending to be a ghost!" Lin Mei snorted coldly.
I didn't say anything, and waited patiently until Huzi finished burning the mugwort leaves and lit the incense for the incense. Then I looked at Lin Mei's family.
"If you have anything to say, please show it."
Lin Tao rushed up, pointed at my nose and shouted loudly: "My surname is Zhang, let me ask you, does Li Juan's death have something to do with you?"
"Fuck you, what does your wife's death have to do with us?" Huzi immediately cursed angrily.
"Huzi, don't talk." I shouted back Huzi, and then looked at Lin Tao.
"You know better than me what the cause of Li Juan's death is. What does this have to do with me?" I said.
"Zhang Jiuyang, don't even think about making excuses. I saw you hugging my sister-in-law with my own eyes. I'm telling you, with just a little bit, I can sue you for rape, which is why my sister-in-law committed suicide." Lin Mei said viciously.
The anger in my heart was instantly ignited, and I pointed at Lin Tao with a cold snort, "Why don't you ask your brother what good things he did? Do you want me to show you the video of him treating the bride at that time?"
In fact, I don’t have any video. At that time, Lin Tao raped a girl named Li Juan. I was completely confused. The reason why I said this was just a bluff to scare them.
But there was something wrong in Lin Tao's mind. As soon as I said these words, Lin Tao's face changed and became very ugly.
Lin Mei obviously didn't expect me to say this. She sneered without confidence, "What video, who are you trying to scare?"
"Don't believe it?" I pretended to take out my phone. In this case, I had no choice but to hand it over to the police. As I said that, I turned to look at Huzi and said, "Huzi, call the police."
Huzi did not doubt my words and took out his mobile phone with a cold snort. Lin Tao suddenly became anxious, "What if I call the police? She is my wife."
I looked at her with a mocking look on my face, "You also know that she is your wife?"
Lin Tao stopped talking.
Lin Mei gritted her teeth and looked at me with a strange smile, "Don't talk nonsense. Anyway, my sister-in-law's death has nothing to do with you. You can't even think about it if you call the police. I'll lock you in for two days. What should I do with you?"
Lin Mei is right. Once this matter is reported to the police, it will have to be re-opened. Even if I am not responsible, calling for investigation and questioning is indispensable. But I don’t have time to delay this matter now. Mr. Long’s matter is still
Wait for me to deal with it.
I can finally see that they are blackmailing people, but I am not prepared to quarrel with the Lin family. I just want to send them out now.
"Tell me, what do you want?" I asked.
The room instantly became quiet.
"One million, each of you 500,000, let's forget about it." Lin Tao suddenly jumped up.
"Lin Mei, you are blackmailing!" Lin Wan said angrily.
I stretched out my hand to interrupt her. It will never make sense to reason with villains. If they want to blackmail you, any excuse will do.
"One million is impossible. I only have half a million. If you agree, take the money and leave. From now on, you are not allowed to harass Lin Wan. If you don't agree, we will call the police directly." I said.
"Zhang Jiuyang, you are crazy!" Lin Wan looked at me in disbelief.
"It's okay, I'm sensible." I smiled slightly.
Lin Mei and Lin Tao were also stunned. They didn't expect me to agree so readily. They agreed without much hesitation. It seemed that they had already discussed it.
"There is no evidence for what you say, but write it down? I said you write it." I said.
"Huzi, yellow paper and cinnabar pen."
Huzi immediately brought the yellow paper and cinnabar pen and handed them to Lin Mei, who took them with a cold snort.
I started to read: "The sky is thick and the earth is thick, the lunar sun is notary, and the ten directions are notarized. I respectfully attend. On the 9th of February, the bride of the Li family died by herself. It has nothing to do with Zhang Jiuyang and Lin Wanzhi. The children of the Lin family made a special document and raised their heads.
Three feet, no need to check, cinnabar, yellow paper, heaven and earth are proof!"
Lin Wan quickly wrote down what I read, and then handed it to me. I took the guarantee letter and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked Huzi to bring a fruit knife, and I took it
Holding a fruit knife, he said to Lin Mei and Lin Tao:
"Press the bloody handprint, and this card is yours."
"You're crazy, why are you pressing bloody fingerprints?" Lin Mei frowned.
I smiled lightly and said, "If you want money, you must do what I say, otherwise you won't get a dime."
"Just press it, who are you trying to scare?" Lin Tao grabbed the knife, gritted his teeth and cut his finger, then pressed a bloody fingerprint on the paper.
The moment he pressed it, I could clearly see that Lin Tao's body quickly turned black, and the corpse scent on his body became a little stronger.
Seeing this scene, I felt relieved, but also secretly worried.
I'm afraid something is going to happen to Li Juan!
Lin Mei gritted her teeth, cut her finger and pressed one.
"Isn't this bad? Just pretend to be a ghost. That's all you can do, Zhang Jiuyang." Lin Mei looked at me with a mocking look on her face.
I knew she looked down on me, but I didn't care. After looking at the two of them carefully for a moment, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Take this card and get out of my shop quickly!" I decisively handed the bank card to Lin Mei's hand.
The brother and sister were overjoyed and feared that I would regret it. They took their bank cards and left in a hurry, and the others also left in a hurry.
Thanks to my intentional actions, the matter finally came to an end,
"Zhang Jiuyang, you're out of your mind. They are clearly blackmailing people. Five hundred thousand yuan, just give it to them!" Lin Wan was obviously furious.
"I know, but I have no choice. Let alone 500,000, I will give it even if it is 1 million." I said with a solemn expression.
Lin Wan's eyes turned red all of a sudden, tears streaming down her face, "I know you did this all for me. This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place. If it weren't for me..."
What Lin Wan wanted to say was interrupted by me, "Okay, there are some things you don't understand. Money is a small thing, but people are big things."
As if Lin Wan had figured it out, she gritted her teeth and said, "You are right, give up your wealth to eliminate disaster, and I will pay you back slowly."
I looked at her very stressed look and knew that if I didn't explain it clearly to her, she would definitely feel that she owed me. After thinking about it, I decided to confess.
"Lin Wan, actually there is another mystery to this matter. I am just trying to save myself!"
