When Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai heard these bastard words, they were furious and wanted to show their hands.
Just as he rolled up his sleeves, a row of black gun muzzles were pointed at several people, including Xu Ping.
Damn, this bastard is really good at killing donkeys. I don’t know if I can dodge bullets with my own energy.
Thinking of the evil spirit in the stone lion, Xu Ping pondered for a moment and felt that this matter must be directed at Mr. Ren.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said, "Uncle Jiu, just before they... opened the ladle, someone seemed to shout something?"
After Xu Ping reminded him, Uncle Jiu was also somewhat impressed.
It's just that there was a lot of noise in the yard at that time, and I was busy talking to Mr. Ren, so I didn't pay attention. The opera singer next to me was babbling...
"The opera singer..."
Xu Ping and Uncle Jiu reacted almost at the same time. When Wen Cai heard this, he said directly: "Master, the actor on the stage just now was returning to his hometown to take revenge. He was preparing to kill his enemy. He shouted the word "death". Could it be?
he……"
Wencai doesn't like to socialize and likes to listen to operas, so when others are talking in official terms, he has been listening to operas and is the first to react.
Uncle Jiu said anxiously: "Quick, go find that troupe."
Ah Wei narrowed his eyes, his face full of vigilance: "What will happen if you run away later?"
Uncle Jiu was speechless for a moment, but Xu Ping looked around and smiled faintly: "That opera singer is probably here for Master Ren. As Master Ren's only daughter, Miss Ren Tingting is probably..."
"Ah, cousin!"
Ah Wei screamed and hurried towards the backyard with a group of horses eager to leave quickly.
But there was a figure in the team who looked very familiar.
Wencai was also very anxious, rushing ahead of Awei to talk about the professionalism of dog-licking.
Uncle Jiu hated the fact that iron could not become steel, but he had no choice but to see the smile on Xu Ping's face and sighed: "My disciple is naughty. Shopkeeper Xu is laughing at me."
"Where?" Xu Ping said calmly: "Literary talent is not tied to trivial details, and he is born for love. He is actually a man of good temperament."
"Love is no joke."
Uncle Jiu was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Ping's eyes with even more admiration.
Maoshan inherited the inheritance of the Zhengyi Shangqing sect. Except for a few Taoist priests who lived and became monks, it was okay to get married and have children.
Therefore, he did not place too many demands on his two apprentices in this regard. He could just be a little boy himself and there was no need to impose it on his apprentices.
However, Xu Ping did not look at it with colored glasses, which rather surprised him. Taoist priests who married wives and took concubines, drank wine and ate meat, would always be prejudiced by the world.
What does this mean? In my place, monks can still open companies and make money... Xu Ping has never seen anything and didn't think much about it.
However, Xu Ping couldn't resist Uncle Jiu's burning gaze, and he was in a hurry to go back. If it was too late, it would be too late.
"Now that the matter is over, it is not Xu's job to find the murderer, so I'll take my leave."
Uncle Jiu definitely wanted to stay and cooperate with the investigation. The sense of justice in his heart did not allow him to leave at this time.
Life for such a person is very tiring, but for Uncle Jiu, he feels at ease.
After leaving Ren Mansion, Xu Ping faced the moonlight and his steps were getting faster and faster. He was really anxious to go back.
As for the reason...
There have been so many deaths in the Ren family, and they were all of some status, so their family background must not be bad.
The business of the coffin shop has not exploded yet. If I go back late, I will miss out on a lot of business.
Although the Xu family's coffin shop has always been run by Buddhists, it is still business-minded. If customers come, it is impossible to kick them out.
To put it crudely, the coffin shop needs to make money in order to continue operating. To put it more elegantly, it is not making money, but giving the dead bodies a brand new home and soothing their cold bodies and souls, which is a good deed.
…
In the next few days.
The murder case that occurred in Ren Mansion caused uproar in the city and made people panic.
Especially the unattractive Awei, without his uncle to protect him, the police chief ordered him to find the murderer within seven days, but he was very worried.
The opera troupe that night was found, but the actors on stage that night had long since disappeared.
The furious Ah Wei didn't care and sent the class leader to jail. They all used pepper water and tiger stools to fight, but still not a hair was raised.
In the end, Uncle Jiu said a few nice words, and the troupe leader felt a little better, but he was still imprisoned, and maybe seven days later, he was going to be used as a scapegoat.
This was what Wen Cai told Xu Ping when he came to buy ingot paper money.
He is now stationed at Ren's house, nominally to protect Ren Tingting, but in reality he is just running errands to make his presence felt.
Uncle Jiu was also very busy during this period. He not only had to assist Captain Ah Wei in investigating the case, but also had to rescue the souls of the dead. He was extremely busy.
And just as Xu Ping expected, there was an endless stream of people coming to buy coffins and funeral supplies. Most of the high-end coffins in the shop were picked up.
He made a lot of money, but looking at the mostly empty shop, Xu Ping also started to get busy, making paper figurines.
There are also a lot of wood piled in the backyard, which are materials for making coffins. Every night, Xu Ping makes a few paper figures to help make coffins.
He himself slept leisurely.
That is to say, the paper man can't speak, otherwise he would have to be scolded. He is an evil capitalist who doesn't even give him any subsidy for working the night shift.
That night, Xu Ping was about to close the door and call the paper man to go to work. Unexpectedly, Qiu Sheng suddenly ran over. His face was dull and he looked like he had smoked several kilograms of cigarettes.
Xu Ping looked at it and said to himself, "Good guy, he is still having sex with that female ghost. He is really not afraid of death. Why doesn't Uncle Ninth care about it?"
"Shopkeeper Xu, you have to do me a favor. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow." Qiu Sheng asked for help, promising a meal of wine, two kilograms of chestnuts, and some rouge from his aunt's family.
Rouge is for paper figures, and the coffin shop will prepare some.
Xu Ping was not a big drinker of flower wine either. While making tea, he asked: "What do you want to say first?"
"I met a girl a few days ago. She's very pretty and I like her very much. But I always feel like something is wrong. I want you to help me find out. Is that girl... a human or a ghost?"
You didn't even know whether it was a human or a ghost, but you were having so much fun...Xu Ping said directly: "Since you asked me that, you must already have the answer in your heart."
"Alas!" Qiu Changchang sighed, looking a little embarrassed: "Although I also feel that something is wrong, but for some reason, I can't always say rejection..."
"Master said that Shopkeeper Xu has a profound knowledge, so he wanted to ask Shopkeeper Xu to help me go to the town. As soon as I see that girl, I tend to get confused."
Qiu Sheng suddenly became very angry: "Master has been following the captain Ah Wei to investigate the case these days. As soon as I saw the captain, I wanted to punch him, so I didn't even see the master much. Besides..."
Qiu Sheng was embarrassed to say what he had swallowed. Xu Ping also guessed that if Uncle Jiu knew that his apprentice was fascinated by a female ghost, he would definitely be punished with a stick.
Xu Ping thought about it carefully and found that the female ghost was okay. Apart from being infatuated with Qiu Sheng, she had never harmed anyone else. In the end, she even risked her own life, so let's talk about it.
If the other party is stubborn and restless, it just so happens that the Yin Yang Illustrated Book has not been opened in the past few days, so some rewards can be deducted from her.
"Okay, then I'll go with you!"
However, to be on the safe side, Xu Ping asked Qiu Sheng to go to Yizhuang first and get the copper coin sword in case of emergency.
And he himself was going to take two paper figures with him.
It is not difficult for two strong-blooded men, plus a paper man with infinite strength and the ability to attack by spontaneous combustion, to deal with a romantic female ghost.
