Chapter 181 Impermanence
Author: Qiye
end of august
Suddenly, an "impermanence" appeared in Jiangning Mansion.
A scene appeared in Jiangning's mansion. From the officials' backyards to the common people and wealthy businessmen, men and women, old and young, all came to find the impermanent man and willingly gave him the money in their hands.
They begged the impermanence of life to exempt themselves from the fate cards.
This incident caused panic in Jiangning Mansion and delayed the people's farming time.
Li Ying frowned when he heard the news. He didn't believe in the so-called impermanence of life and the fortune-telling cards.
If the king of hell comes to kill people, why would they need any playing cards? Even if there are playing cards, why burn them? If they are burned, why would they deliberately leave the remaining words on the paper to be publicized to the public?
I'm afraid someone wants to use this to deceive and fool the people.
Li Ying ordered the government officials to arrest the hot Sheng Wuchang in the dead of night.
Li Ying is not a man who doesn't know how to adapt. Although he doesn't believe it, he is not stupid enough to arrest someone in broad daylight.
There are many people during the day, and if he takes advantage of the crowd to escape, if he doesn't catch him, he won't be able to do anything to the other person, and it will cause panic.
"Sheng Wuchang" was sleeping with the money in his arms when he was snatched away.
"Sheng Wu Chang" had his head covered, guessing that he had made a fortune recently, which attracted people's attention.
Along the way, he begged for mercy, "Brother, brother, we are all in the world, you can tell me as much as you want, my life is worthless!"
"In this way, you don't need to tell me the number. I will give you all the money. If you let me go, I will leave immediately!"
"Sheng Impermanence" made his throat smoke as he said it, but no one responded to him.
"Impermanence" only leaves regret. He should not be too greedy. If he had stopped in time and left immediately, how could he have ended up like this.
I don’t know how long it took, but he was kicked and fell to his knees. The sack on his head was also pulled away. When the sack left his head, he closed his eyes tightly and did not dare to open them. He just lay on the ground and said in a loud voice:
With fear and nervousness, he begged for mercy, "This brother, no, this uncle! Please let me go, I will give you as much money as you want!"
Li Ying put down the tea cup and looked at the rumored impermanence. Judging from his appearance alone, he did not deserve the title of "impermanence".
He said, "Open your dog eyes and see where this is!"
"Sheng Wu Chang" hesitated again and again, opened his eyes a little, and the first thing he saw was a pair of black soap boots.
This kind of shoes...
"Sheng Wuchang" opened his eyes and slowly moved his gaze upwards, and saw Li Ying in official uniform. "Sheng Wuchang" felt his heart skip a beat.
He was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead.
My heart is filled with anguish.
It's better to let the thieves catch him!
Now not only could he not save his money, but he might also lose his life. Even if his life could be saved, his freedom would be gone.
"Be honest!" Li Ying snorted coldly as he looked at the man kneeling below him with a look of despair on his face.
Life is impermanent, it is Wu Chang.
After he and Zhang Cheng broke up that time, he entered Jiangning Mansion. When he went to various houses to ask for alms, he would pretend to be sick and pretend to be stupid. He would always say that he was "impermanent" and was sent by the underworld to communicate with the ghosts of the underworld.
Come to capture someone here, etc., and you can only get it this season.
And those people are also stupid. They spread this thing everywhere before they can clearly distinguish it, making people who hear these words half-believe it.
Wu Changchang was almost done planning and started to make the next plan.
He secretly made a yellow card with yellow paper. The two characters "Yin Si" were written on the end of the card. The first half of the card said the people Zhang Cheng gave him who were destined to die this year, and the upper part of the card wrote the words he found out from the monks.
The names of local wealthy men and women, as well as the beloved sons of ordinary people.
He secretly went to the company headquarters at night when no one was around, burned the yellow card from the lower part where no one had a name, and put out the fire on the upper part where there was a name and saved it.
Early the next morning, someone went to the shrine to pray and saw half-burned yellow cards in the incense burner.
When I took it out, I saw that there were names of nearby neighbors on it, and there was also the word "Yinsi" at the end of the card. I was very surprised. I passed it around and passed it to ten, and from one alley to another.
In the alley, within a month, the news spread all over Jiangning Mansion.
In more than a month, two of the people whose names were on the yellow card really died. Those people told me and I told you, "The skinny Taoist priest who came before really didn't tell lies. He is really a sect from the underworld."
The ghost official who came here is born in an impermanent state, and the yellow card is the fate card from the underworld. The skinny Taoist priest must know who is on the card!"
Everyone is afraid that they will be the next to die.
So, the person with the name on the yellow card came to ask Wu Chang, and the person without the name on the yellow card came to ask him because he was afraid that the lower half of the card had his own name in it.
Suddenly, Wu Chang's status has undergone earth-shaking changes.
People from all walks of life rushed to find him.
Wu Chang is also a chicken thief.
To those who came to him, he deliberately pretended to be half-hearted and hesitantly admitted that he and the ghosts of the underworld had burned the cards together.
Everyone who heard this was in an uproar.
A man who was afraid of death came forward and asked, "Sir, how can we not fall for this fate-making card in the underworld?"
Wu Changchang was almost done with the fire and said, "The king of hell in the underworld is no different from the yamen in the Yang world. As long as you have the money. When the money comes, the name will naturally not be listed. To say the least, even if it is absolutely necessary, it will not matter if it is delayed for two or three years.
The problem is, it’s a pity that people nowadays are so reluctant to spend money!”
When everyone heard this, they felt happy.
If you know there is a solution for this kind of thing, there is hope.
As a result, many men and women from wealthy families came to bribe Wu Chang. Some gave him money to ask him to avoid the fate of being cheated on the soul card, and some asked him to bring money to relatives in the underworld.
This road was clearly opened to him and he could use it thoroughly.
Li Ying asked again, "Your accent is not from Jiangning Mansion. When did you come to Jiangning Mansion?"
Wu Chang confessed honestly, "More than a month ago."
Li Ying calculated the time, "In just over a month, you were able to find out the details of so many people?! How many accomplices do you have?"
Wu Chang shook his head, "The villain has no accomplices. All the information was obtained through exchange between the villain and another person."
Li Ying frowned, "Who is it?"
"It's Zhang Cheng. I heard about him when I first arrived at Jiangning Mansion. I found out that he lived in Zhenjue Temple, so I went there to find him and exchange these things." Wu Chang said.
"Why does he have this information?" Li Ying didn't know much about the fortune tellers in Jiangning Mansion.
Wu Chang said, "He is the golden point. This information is the most basic thing in his hands, and it is his job."
When Li Ying heard this, he was even more surprised, "What did you exchange for it? How could he be willing to exchange this information for you!"
Wu Chang explained, "The villain's ancestor was a wandering doctor, and he had a few prescriptions that were not passed down from generation to generation, so he was able to change them."
Li Ying nodded and ordered Zhang Cheng to be taken back to the Yamen for questioning the next day.
Zhang Cheng was good at fortune-telling, but suddenly he was surrounded by government officials, who said they would take him to the government office. He felt a drum in his heart. Could it be that something happened to Wu Si?
Zhang Cheng was so panicked that he took out the money from his arms and presented it to the Yamen servant. He said with a flattering smile, "Why did the Lord suddenly summon the villain? Can you tell me a little bit about it?"
The yamen officer grabbed the money and looked at his brother, then smiled and said, "I just sent you to ask a question."
Zhang Cheng speculated on the meaning of these words, fearing that something else was involved in him.
Zhang Cheng resisted the urge to run away and kept up with the yamen servants uneasily.
