Looking at Wang Haogu who was pulled out, Wu Ming's eyes showed no mercy.
Even he knew that little Narcissus' mother would be heartbroken if she could not bring Wang Haogu back.
But long-term pain is not as good as short-term pain, Wang Haogu is addicted to gambling, and Wu Ming has no mercy in making decisions that Xiao Narcissus' mother cannot make.
Wu Ming didn't know whether this was right or wrong, and he didn't want to know.
He just followed his own heart, and presumably Little Narcissus's mother couldn't understand it, but without such a bad gambler as a burden, his life will be much easier in the future. At the very least, he no longer has to worry about Wang Haogu losing money.
, it’s time to sell your sons and daughters to get money again.
"Sir, when an ordinary person enters the underworld, he cannot return to the world after seven days, but he is really dead. Do you think I should imprison him for a few days, make him suffer and then put him back?" Zhu Yuanwai didn't know that Wu Ming
I couldn't help but come up and ask.
Wu Ming waved his hand and said coldly: "No need, just lock him here and don't let him leave the village. In the future, if there is a chance, someone will take him away!"
The fate here means that after the little Narcissus becomes an immortal, she may come to the underworld to find Wang Haogu.
At that time, Wu Ming could not consider whether the little Narcissus would take Wang Haogu out or reincarnate him.
All he had to do was to leave Wang Haogu in the underworld, so as not to harm his family again or cause any new troubles.
"Master, the new uncle is about to join the family!"
When Wu Ming was about to leave, a ghost woman suddenly came from outside and brought news about the new uncle.
When he heard that the new uncle was coming, Wu Ming, who had not seen the ghost marriage, had no intention of leaving immediately, so he just wanted to see who the new uncle was.
There was a burst of firecrackers outside.
Supported by a group of ghost servants, a timid-looking young man wearing red clothes and a red flower on his chest walked outside the door.
This young student looks to be in his twenties. Although he looks very talented, he even staggers when he walks.
Wu Ming took a closer look and found that the new uncle was actually a living person. No wonder he was so panicked.
"Yue, father-in-law!" The new uncle walked up to Yuan Wai Zhu, the panic on his face did not diminish.
Member Zhu was somewhat displeased and said in a depressed tone: "Mr. Mei Ou, you want to take my daughter. What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Father-in-law, this is my first time to come to the underworld, so I am inevitably a little scared!" The handsome boy named Mei Oujiang looked at the ghosts in the courtyard with fear, and cold sweat broke out on his face.
Zhu Yuanwai's face had darkened, but it was difficult to get angry in front of Wu Ming. He said in a low voice: "This sir is the inspector of yang and yin. Why don't you come over here to see me?"
"Xiaosheng Mei Ou, I have seen you, I have met Lord Yin Guan!" Mei Ou looked at Wu Ming, with a smile that was uglier than crying, as if his parents were dead.
Wu Ming frowned slightly, looked at Member Zhu, and then at Chief Mei Ou, and asked: "Don't be afraid, I am just like you, a person in the world of the world, but I am an official in the underworld. I look at you,
You seem a little reluctant, what’s going on?”
"Sir, you have to make the decision for me!" Mei Oujiang knelt on the ground with a bang, pleading repeatedly: "I am originally from the world of heaven, but these evil ghosts have done many evil things, and they insist on forcing me to go to the underworld to get married.
, Sir, you have to be careful!"
Upon hearing this, before Wu Ming could speak, Zhu Yuanwai shivered with anger, pointed at Chief Mei Ou and cursed: "Mr. Mei Ou, you, you have really lost your conscience! You kept saying before that you were willing to take me.
Your daughter is your wife, you are going to regret it!"
"Your daughter is a ghost and I am a living person. How can I take her as my wife? You are trying to kill me!" Chief Mei Ou was not convinced at all and argued loudly with Yuan Wai Zhu.
Wu Ming looked at them with interest, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Interesting, what is going on, who can tell me?"
Before Chief Mei Ouji could speak, Zhu Yuanwai told the whole story of the incident.
This Mei Ou leader was a scholar three years ago and was too poor to survive.
One night, he and his classmates got drunk. When they happened to pass by the Baliupo Cemetery, they fell asleep due to the drunkenness.
Member Zhu's daughter felt pity for Mr. Mei Ou and showed up in person to take care of him.
In the middle of the night, when Mei Oujiang woke up and saw a woman taking care of him, he couldn't help but complain.
It turned out that his classmate was a high school student, and Mr. Mei Ou wanted to go over and borrow some rice. But at the wine table, the classmate ridiculed him, and that was how he got drunk.
After hearing Chief Mei Ou's complaints, Yuan Wai's daughter could not bear it. She often went to see Chief Mei Ou with some silver coins in the middle of the night.
Three years passed peacefully like this. Chief Mei Ou felt that his level had improved greatly and he planned to take the imperial examination in the city.
As a result, when I arrived in Fucheng, I discovered that corrupt officials are rampant now, and if I don’t have money to smooth over the examiners, I will never win the exam.
Having no other choice, Mei Oujiang asked Zhu Yuanwai's daughter to beg her again, and Zhu Yuanwai found out about it.
The rest of the story is simple. Zhu Yuanwai agreed to provide the capital, but asked Mei Ou to marry his daughter, and bluntly said that his daughter was a ghost.
Chief Mei Ou didn't want to agree at first, but when he heard that Zhu Yuanwai was willing to pay him a thousand taels of silver to smoothen his relationship and buy a house, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Chief Mei Ou, is what Zhu Yuanwai said right?"
Wu Ming looked at Mei Ou Zhang and heard the other party gritting his teeth and saying: "That's right, but I was so panicked at the time that I agreed in a daze. Now that I think about it, humans and ghosts are destined to have no good end in their different paths. I am in this world.
How can I marry a ghost wife when I am a human being? I ask you, sir, to make the decision for me!"
It is an eternal saying that friends are more valuable than others, and wealth is better.
Chief Mei Ou has already been promoted to the imperial examination. Even if he fails to win the imperial examination, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
If you want to blame, it's just that the current leader Mei Ou is no longer a poor scholar who can't afford to eat. How can he be willing to marry Yuanwai Zhu's daughter?
"Chief Mei Ou, since you understand that people and ghosts have different paths, why did you agree to it then?"
Wu Ming kept a calm expression on his face and asked: "Let me ask you, if you didn't have Yuan Wai's money, would you be able to get this move? In addition, what are you going to do with the real estate Zhu Yuanwai bought for you in the city?"
What to do? If you want to ruin your marriage, these things"
"grown ups!"
Mei Ou Chang gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I spent a total of one thousand taels. I'll write an IOU and pay it back with interest, right?"
"puff"
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming laughed directly. Chief Mei Ou was really good at settling accounts. This business was really profitable.
"Why are you laughing, sir?" Chief Mei Ou was puzzled and couldn't help but ask.
Wu Ming shook his head, looked at the dark-faced Member Zhu, and said, "If you are about to starve to death and someone gives you food to keep you alive, it is not a meal, but a life.
You feel in your heart that you only owe Zhu Yuanwai a thousand taels. But I think that without this thousand taels, you would still be the poor scholar who can't afford to eat. Do you understand? Well, since you want to ruin the marriage
, it’s not impossible. After you have gone to the People’s Republic of China to gain fame, and return your family property intact, I will make the decision to let you get together and have a good time.”
"Ah, doesn't that mean you have left home?" Mei Ou's face changed drastically, and she was stunned.
In his original idea, it would take at most three or two years of hard work to return the money he had spent. By then, as a civil servant, he would not be able to let the birds fly as high as the sky.
But now, if you want to regret your marriage, you have to give up your fame and hand over all your family property. This is really fatal.
Looking at Mei Ou's face, Wu Ming didn't want to say anything more, and asked directly: "If you can agree to these conditions, I will take you back to Yang now. Tell me, I will ask you one last time,
Do you want to ruin the engagement?"
"If it's not ruined, if it's not ruined, why don't I marry her?" Mei Oujiang shook his head repeatedly, his intestines almost turning green with regret.
Without the fame of being a civil servant and without a huge fortune, wouldn't he become that poor scholar again?
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
After enjoying a prosperous life for a year, Mei Oujiang never wants to be the same person again. That is simply a nightmare.
"father"
Suddenly, a strange voice came, and a girl in wedding clothes walked out of the room: "Dad, let him go, I don't want to get married!"
Upon hearing this, the ghosts in the courtyard were in an uproar.
Zhu Yuanwai had a dark face, pointed at his daughter who came out, and said angrily: "Nonsense, how can you do it if you don't get married! Your wedding invitations have been sent out, and all the young and old men in the village are watching, why don't you get married?"
"Dad, Mei Lang said that he would not despise me for being a ghost, but now he still does!"
The girl was holding a handkerchief and crying. Although there were no tears, it was full of sadness: "His heart is not here anymore. What's the use of you keeping him? What's the use of me marrying him? They're just bedfellows."
!”
After hearing the girl's words, Mr. Mei Ou felt both guilty and happy, with a very complicated expression on his face.
Zhu Yuanwai stared blankly at the wine table in front of him. Suddenly he raised his big hand and overturned the wine table to the ground. Yang Tian sighed: "That's it, that's all. Humans and ghosts have different paths, and humans and ghosts have different paths!"
Witnessed by Wu Ming, the farce ended like this.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanwai did not hold Chief Mei Ou responsible or claim back his family property, but sent him to earth in despair.
As for whether there was a story later on between Zhu Yuanwai's family and Mei Oujiang, Wu Ming didn't know.
world of the sun
Returning to the earth, Wu Ming truthfully told Xiao Shuixian's mother about Wang Haogu.
When she heard that Wang Haogu had arrived in the underworld and wanted to borrow money from ghosts to gamble, Little Narcissus' mother didn't say anything, but nodded expressionlessly.
There is no greater sorrow than heartbreak. Through this incident, Little Narcissus's mother had completely given up hope on Wang Haogu.
Seeing this scene, Wu Ming whispered a few words of advice, then turned and left.
At this point, Wu Ming has almost dealt with all the trivial matters in Liaozhai, and there is nothing to miss anymore.
"Little Narcissus, we can meet again in the fairy world in the future. As for the other people, it doesn't matter whether we see them or not!" Wu Ming exhaled, took one last look at the Liaozhai World, and thought to himself: "System, come back." To be continued.
