The bright moon rises high.

I don't know which family held a night banquet, and the babbling tunes drifted into the yizhuang where the corpses were displayed along with the gauzy night mist.

The paper crane circled among them, and Er gathered its wings and landed on Lu Huaiyi's forehead.

Not to mention Li Changan's sudden realization.

Regardless of He Shuisheng's shock.

The paper crane folded from a small yellow talisman weighed more than a thousand pounds at this moment, easily crushing the back of the big man.

Mr. Lu knelt down and kowtowed to Li Changan and He Shuisheng.

He Shuisheng subconsciously dodged, but then he woke up and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him away.

Lu Ba's head didn't move at all, he just kept kowtowing.

"Why is it necessary to arrest the head like this?" Li Changan saw this, "Brothers Pindao and Shuisheng are here for you, so how can they reveal that you are a ghost and not a human being."

"Ghost?!" Mr. Lu didn't say anything, but He Shuisheng blushed first, "Brother Lu is alive and well, how could it be..."

But was interrupted.

"aquatic."

Mr. Lu shook his head.

He took out a doll from his arms.

It is made of straw and wrapped in cloth, which is very simple. The facial features are also outlined by pen and ink. Only a few strokes capture the essence of the expression. At a glance, it looks like Lu Baotou himself.

Occasionally, the night breeze flows into the hall, lifting a thin layer of smoke away.

Lu Baotou changed his appearance instantly.

The originally majestic body had grown in size, the iron-clad strong muscles and bones had become soft and swollen, and the light brown skin had become pale, no different from the bloated corpse on the table.

He Shuisheng was immediately startled, but he resisted and did not move away.

"Brother, you..."

The words came out dumbly, and I could only cry silently.

"How can a man act like a daughter?"

Lu Baotou laughed instead.

Then he let out a long sigh, which did not increase his sorrow, but rather relieved the depression between his brows.

He spoke eloquently:

"Biejia is a good official."

"Although he fell into the realm of our Qiantang, where officials are small and powerful and cannot be redressed, they still serve the people wholeheartedly and fulfill their duties."

"I admire his ambition and always work secretly for him."

"A few months ago, I escorted the prisoner on a business trip just under the guise. I got out of the ground, found a piece of wild forest and stabbed him. Then I secretly turned back and escorted him to have a meeting with him."

"Let me tell you something big. A huge bandit has risen on the sea. There are many people and many ships. There are also big figures colluding with it. This person has integrated a group of pirates on the sea and will bring trouble to Qian Tang in the near future."

"I didn't expect that Xi Zuo had already been exposed, and we were subsequently attacked and killed. They were so numerous that I couldn't resist them, so they taught me to use his fish bag as a token to break through and alert the government."

"However, the thieves were ruthless. Although I managed to escape from the pursuit, I was still seriously injured and died in the culvert where I was hiding."

"After I died, I wandered around in chaos for several days. Fortunately, Tan Shisan found me and took me in..."

"Great!" He Shuisheng shouted, "Brother also said that he and the wizard had cut off their robes and renounced each other!"

Lu Baotou apologized and handed over his hands again and again, and continued:

"After the first seven days, I gradually regained my consciousness. I wanted to find my body and hide the news of my death, but unexpectedly the body was washed out of the culvert by the river tide..."

There is no need to say more about the subsequent development of the matter.

He Shuisheng suddenly realized: "It was my brother who destroyed the body himself?!"

Mr. Lu did not deny it.

"A request not to drive?"

Mr. Lu still didn't answer.

He Shuisheng looked in disbelief. It was really hard for him to understand that as a victim, he took the initiative to cover up his grievances and even destroyed his own body, violating his always upheld loyalty.

"Why?!"

Lu Baotou opened his mouth but was too embarrassed to speak, and remained silent.

"Because of Qian Tang's rules."

Li Changan said for him.

"There is a saying in the Thirteen Schools that the yin and yang of Qian, Tang and Tang Dynasties can be mixed, but humans and ghosts must be distinguished. As a result, mortals become ghosts after death. They are not allowed to have contact with relatives and friends in life, and they cannot even live with the appearance and name of their lives."

He Shuisheng was dumbfounded. Hearing the secrets about Qian Tang's other side, his mind was inevitably confused.

Lu Baotou sighed sadly.

"I have an elderly blind mother and two young children. How can my first wife bear this burden?"

"aquatic."

He seemed to be answering He Shuisheng, and he also seemed to be answering himself.

"I have to live."

…………

"and after?"

The Salesian Hospital was filled with the smell of fresh herbs. Old medical officers, Huang Tail, scholars, salesmen and country men all gathered here, chatting over bad wine and cold dishes, and asking about the story behind.

"What happened later?"

There was no more wine left, so Li Changan decided to keep the story short.

"We found a wild ghost and asked him to possess the body of Lu Baotou. He lied about being a guest of another family. In front of the officials of the government, he told the story of the pirates 'personally' and it was considered to be his death.

Loyalty. As for how long Mr. Lu can hide his identity, it depends on his luck."

The ending cannot be said to be good or bad.

Probably because we are all lonely souls parasitic in the world, everyone will inevitably feel sad and have feelings stuck in their chests.

But no matter whether it is a raging pirate or a big shot with thieves, it has nothing to do with a bunch of poor people.

After each lamenting, everyone started to care about how much money they could make from the new business.

So they all turned their keen eyes on the old salesman and Huang Wei.

The two of them went to various herbal medicine shops early this morning to sell medicinal materials.

The two ghosts grimaced.

Is it possible...

Everyone's heart does not sink.

Huang Wei suddenly took out a package and spread it on the table.

The white flowers are shining brightly, which is really a good medicine to relieve depression.

Count carefully.

There was not much money on the table.

but.

"Get rich!" Everyone was very excited.

This is not a one-time deal. As the herbs on the mountain grow, the business will continue, and the money will come in!

"There won't be another time."

Huang Wei said suddenly.

"Just this once, there will be no next time."

Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Huangwei grimaced.

"Most of the herbal medicines on the market in Qiantang are sold from other places and are expensive. I originally thought that the medicinal materials from Feilaishan are effective and cheap, so I won't have to worry about sales."

Everyone nodded, that was the plan from the beginning.

"But I didn't think about it..." Huangwei scratched his fury face in distress, "The Cave City is in a hurry to build a temple. The Ghost King's Banquet has been ruthlessly raided, and many owners of the herbal medicine business have been forced to death. Now, the entire Qiantang's herbal medicine business has been wiped out.

They have all been divided up by the few remaining large trading houses. The business of these large trading houses is spread all over the world, and all kinds of medicinal materials have their own origins and will not change easily."

The old salesman added: "This time, I reluctantly bought it for the sake of Master Wuchen."

"Next time, if I want to sell medicine, I will only accept expensive medicinal materials such as Morinda officinalis. As for common products like curculigo root, I will not accept them unless..."

Huangwei reported the number.
