Ten thousand taels of silver made Gao Tianshi tempted, but it was more than just this handwritten "Di Bao" that made him board this pirate ship.
This "Residence Newspaper" touched the deepest worry in his heart since the Australians came to the city. Can he still sustain the family fortune passed down by his ancestors?
Although Gao Tianshi said that the name "Huazitou" is a bit unpleasant and his status is despised by others, the Gao family has always been well-dressed and well-fed, with luxurious living and extravagant enjoyment. Let alone an ordinary well-off family, it is an ordinary family in Guangzhou.
The big family cannot compare with his family.
The Gao family has been living like this for more than a hundred years. In the past few months since the Australians entered the city, although they have ignored them and acted completely indifferently, the lives of the Guandi Temple people have become increasingly difficult.
Already.
"Big bones" from various "Doukou" came to him one after another to complain, saying that since the Australians entered the city, the control has been extremely strict, with military and police all over the streets, and nothing is done. Although beggars are not prohibited from begging, as long as there is a slight gathering of people,
Those who make noisy situations will be dispersed immediately, and those who disobey the slightest will be taken away directly. Once taken away, they will never go to the "Doukou" again. I heard that they are directly shipped to overseas desert islands to do coolies.
Already.
In the past, beggars extorted shops, and even those with large thresholds were not immune. In some places, they had to pay a monthly share to the Guandi Temple personnel according to the size of the shop. Now, the police are on the streets, and shops are always on call.
A large business also used a "petition police", which would strike beggars with sticks if they made any noise. In the past, they used to deal with merchants by singing and cursing in front of the shop. The lotus flower fell in front of the shop, defecated, peed, and lay down, and used nails to pierce the ears and cheeks.
All the tricks nailed to the shop floor are of no use now. As long as the store calls the police, the police will disperse as soon as they arrive. If they are a few steps behind, they will use sticks and pepper spray. If you peed in the street, you won’t even have a chance to run.
Yes, we directly arrested the "labor team" to clean the garbage and clean the toilets every day.
With the police so effective, the store owners were naturally unwilling to give money to Guandi Temple personnel, and the Guangzhou Municipal Government Taxation Bureau implemented the local tax: security fee in Guangzhou shops, and the implementation went smoothly.
Even if there is no filial piety in the shops, ordinary residents will not get much oil and water on their heads. Furthermore, if they harass ordinary residents, the police will intervene. As for the big income of working as a thug for a wealthy family in the past and participating in armed fights, in the "Chaozhou Guild Hall Riot Incident"
Under the severe punishment and high pressure that followed, no one dared to care. Not only did the Guandi Temple personnel not receive any benefits, but dozens of others were also involved.
Such various measures are slowly squeezing the traditional living space of the Guandi Temple people. Other activities such as buying stolen goods, sheltering thieves, and black market transactions are also shrinking under the oppression of Australians' harsh punishments and normalized patrol management. This continues.
If this continues, even if the Australians don't directly attack the Guandi Temple troops, they will sooner or later become water without a source and a tree without roots. The big bones in each "Doukou" are already complaining to the sky, begging for a reduction in their monthly quota.
money.
Gao Tianshi knew very well that even though he was known as the "local prefect" in Guangzhou city, if the situation could not be reversed as soon as possible, without the help of the Australians, his position as the "head of the Guangzhou Prefecture" would sooner or later be dissatisfied.
The "big bones" were overturned.
It was driven by this motivation that he decided to participate in this matter.
Even though he was involved in this matter, Gao Tianshi still held back a hand. He knew very well that what Fu Wen and the others were doing was a matter of witchcraft and evil spirits. Once this kind of case was exposed, it would be a major case that would shake the world. So he only agreed to provide the location and services.
Rich text provides "protection".
Fu Wen personally inspected the plot of land outside Zhenhai Gate for the Haipikai Inn. Although it was unofficial land, anyone could occupy it. But in a place where the king's skills are not as good as the boxing skills, he was not behind it.
It is also a delusion to try to open an inn there by taking big money to support the platform.
After the Maojia Inn opened, Wu Zhiqi arrived. He did not stay at the Maojia Inn, but quietly lived in an abandoned Wutong Temple in the city. This place was naturally under the control of Gao Tianshi.
Down.
As soon as Wu Zhiqi arrived, he showed off some amazing magic skills. Gao Tianshi was both respectful and afraid, and regarded him as half a god.
But what this mage does is not so magical. However, the way this wizard combines the medicine is really amazing: he takes seven children with different birthdays and different zodiac signs, divides the yin and yang, and takes their heads according to the five elements.
, fingernails, facial features, fingers, vagina, heart and liver, then soaked in human corpse oil, set up an altar to sacrifice and refine for 7749 days to make a great medicine, and also extract their souls to make a magic ghost before they can be clothed into "
The "Seven Star Soul Locking Formation" uses the power of the seven ghosts to extend the life of that gentleman and bring him good luck.
Gao Tianshi once went to see this method of extracting souls. As a result, even the hard-hearted boss who had worked hard in the world since childhood was frightened to the point of numbness:
At Hai hour on the first day of the lunar calendar, a 13-year-old and 13-day-old boy whose horoscope is Yin is put on red clothes, tied with ropes, and hung from a beam. A weight falls on his feet. The red clothes lock his soul, and the weight drops his soul;
The soul cannot escape with the earth; a steel needle tempered with corpse oil is inserted into the heavenly cap above the head, which is called the soul-drawing needle; the mud pill palace is opened to lure the soul out of the body; the eyeball of the deceased is removed and used as a nourishing needle
The weapons of ghosts are sacrificed in extremely yin places to become yin ghosts.
There was also a girl in black whose hands and feet were pricked with needles, and then the blood was slowly squeezed out little by little. She was slowly suffocated and died of pain and torture, and then her hands and feet were sacrificed. Others were drowned and pretended to be dead.
Put them in earthen pots and roast them to death with strong fire, put them in iron pots and stew them with slow fire, and so on.
The wizard also explained to Gao Tianshi with great interest: This soul extraction means that the person cannot die too quickly. The person must go through all the pain before death and slowly die of torture. A ghost who dies in such pain will
After death, the resentment was great, and the spiritual power obtained from the sacrifice was also great. It frightened a high-ranking scholar so much that he couldn't sleep with his eyes open. When he closed his eyes, he was full of evil spirits and ghosts. He had to ask Wu Zhiqi to do something to get rid of him.
From then on, Gao Tianshi was completely on board the pirate ship. Even if he wanted to jump off the ship, he was still afraid of Wu Zhiqi's sorcery.
However, after all, this was an unreasonable act, so he specially sent his confidants and many brothers to "guard" around the Maojia Inn, firstly to prevent the government, and secondly, to avoid any accidents and leaking the secrets.
In order to ensure safety, Gao Tianshi also sent a special order to beggars everywhere to keep an eye on the movements of Australians. Special spies were placed at the entrances of all government offices. As soon as they saw large groups of police and troops dispatched, they would immediately report them.
Unexpectedly, the Maojia Inn was accidentally destroyed by his brother Gao Chongjiu, his disciples and a few "white men"! The Australian police and army did not mobilize in large numbers at all! All his arrangements were in vain
.The moment he knew that the Maojia Inn had been broken into, Gao Tianshi suddenly felt a desperate feeling of retribution.
Asking Gao Chongjiu to kill Fu Wen failed, but his disciples incited the crowd to attack the inn in order to silence him. In despair, Gao Tianshi once thought of committing suicide: to kill himself, so as not to suffer the pain of being cut into pieces and causing trouble.
Descendants.
Wu Zhiqi was calm and told him not to worry. He had already cast a spell to exorcise the soul of Liu Xiang, the prefect of Guangzhou who stole the Australians. Once Liu Xiang died, the Australians would be in chaos. The crisis would naturally be resolved by then.
It went well at first. On a dark night without the sun, moon and stars, Gao Tianshi saw with his own eyes that Wu Zhiqi killed an abducted child, used the soul and blood as a primer, and released the "little devil". Although he was almost frightened on the spot.
I was paralyzed, but my heart felt a lot more peaceful.
Sure enough, the next day the person he sent to inquire about the information came and reported that Liu Xiang had not come out to see anyone all day. The next day, he reported that Liu Xiang went to a police station in a sedan. Since then, there has been no movement.
.It is said that he has completely shut himself up. Even the naturalized residents in the city hall cannot see him. It is said that he is "sick" and the number of guards around his residence has also increased.
This news gave Gao Tianshi great encouragement, and he became more and more convinced of Wu Zhiqi's magic. However, there has been no news since Liu Xiang became "sick", and recently there was news that Magistrate Liu has appeared again in recent days.
, "Looking pretty good".
It was obvious that Wu Zhiqi's spell was not working. Gao Tianshi's heart was in his throat again.
The wizard coughed violently, and after a long time he said in his hoarse voice like a poisonous snake: "Why are you so anxious? If it weren't for the face of 'Shi Weng', I wouldn't have taken a trip into this muddy water. Now the Australians have broken
How can I spare them if they have destroyed my formation and destroyed the fortune-telling method of that person in the capital? However, since they have destroyed my formation, it is useless to stay here any longer, and there is a risk of the spell backlash.
.Please make arrangements and I will leave the city as soon as possible."
When Gao Tianshi heard this, it was like a basin of cold water was poured over his head. He no longer cared about his dignity, and fell to his knees with a thud. He walked a few steps and hugged the old man Wu's legs, crying and begging: "Master, you can't leave. If you leave, I will."
But it’s all over. Besides, if you don’t look at the monk’s face and look at the Buddha’s face, you’re not even a villain, but there are still a few gentlemen in the city that you can’t ignore!!”
The thief Kun discovered the stronghold of the practice, and the people and the stolen goods were taken away. The matter of witchcraft and poison has been a taboo in all dynasties, how could the thief Kun be an exception? Once the captured Fu Wen leaked any information, although the wizard said that Fu Wen had already surrendered
The "secret medicine" can withstand all severe punishments, but it is too mysterious after all. A strange calamity has come, and now the wizard Zhiqi is talking loudly, but the soles of his feet are oiled. How can Gao Tianshi not
urgent?
Wu Zhiqi struggled a few times but failed to break away from the deadly pull, and thought to himself: "If I don't give him some reassurance, I won't let me go." He sneered and said, "Don't worry! My ancestor left the city just to find another place.
A place of practice, never leave! Since the Australians have ignored my ancestor, I naturally let them know my interests before leaving." (To be continued.)
