Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 5
[Chapter 5 The Tiger Who Takes the Revenge Script]
“What’s the matter?” Chen Luo hurriedly asked.
Chen Ping narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was recalling, and said: “Two years ago, during the autumn harvest, Wang Xigui, a tenant from Xiaoxi Village in the east of the city, came to the mansion and said that a tiger ran out of Xixiu Mountain and killed his wife. I took it away. At that time, the young lady was out on errands, so I told you about it, young master.”
After finishing speaking, Chen Ping squinted at Chen Luo, and Chen Luo froze for a moment. His previous personality should be totally different. I don’t take it to heart, so I don’t have any memory.
“What did I say at the time?” Chen Luo asked.
“You let the old slave figure it out…” Chen Ping continued, “The old slave made his own claim, found the hunter Zhou Yong in Xiaoxi Village, gave him twenty taels of silver, and sent more than a dozen Zhuang Ding to do it. Helper, I went to Xixiu Mountain to catch the tiger and killed it.”
“And then?”
“At that time Zhou Yong went to the tiger’s den and said that there should be two tigers nearby, one male and one female, how to kill it I found the female, but not the male. Just in case, I had people search the vicinity for a few days, but they couldn’t find the male tiger, so I withdrew them back. Young master, do you think it is the male tiger? The tiger cultivated to become a spirit, and came back to take revenge?”
Chen Luo pondered slightly, in this world, it is not uncommon for a wild beast to become a spirit. Let’s not talk about the treasures of heaven and earth taken by fate, just talk about the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism preaching, Buddhism Purdue, and Confucian enlightenment, there is a chance that the beast will open up its spiritual wisdom and turn into a monster. It’s hard to guarantee that there will be an expert who opens his mouth, so that the escaped male tiger will gain Taoism and turn into a tiger demon.
“Is Zhou Yong still there?” Chen Luo asked.
Chen Ping was startled, and said, “Master, I remembered what you said. Before my Chen family had an accident, Zhou Yong entered the mountain and never returned. It has been about a month now.”
Chen Luo once again Frowning, he yelled softly: “Zhong Kui!”
I saw Zhong Kui’s figure slowly appearing behind Chen Luo. Chen Luo had already explained Zhong Kui’s matter to Chen Ping before, but Chen Ping did not expect that the other party’s face would be so ugly, his heart was terrified, his legs were weak, but he insisted on the face of the housekeeper of Chen’s house, and just turned his face away Don’t look at Zhong Kui.
Chen Luo didn’t pay attention to Chen Ping’s expression, but asked Zhong Kui, “What did you find when you ate that ghost?”
Zhong Kui nodded and said, “It didn’t take long for that ghost to take shape, at most it took more than a month. In the deepest part of the soul, there are still some memories of being a human being. Although it is messy, it can be vaguely recognized that it should be hunting for a living…”
“Then the ghost eight achievements were transformed by Zhou Yong…” Chen Luo pondered, “Then The tiger demon that killed my Chen family should be the male tiger that disappeared.”
“Then… what should we do now?” Chen Ping treats Chen Luo as if he was his own, and has always had a “genius” filter for Chen Luo , was not surprised by Chen Luo’s behavior at this time, but instead felt that this was the master’s son, and asked subconsciously.
Chen Luo thought for a moment, then said: “The tiger demon killed so many people, he must be full of blood, and dare not approach the county seat. Since it is a beast of Xixiu Mountain, it must be hiding in Xixiu Mountain.”
“I remember Daddy It has been said that the officials of the Daxuan Dynasty can inspire official seals and consume the dynasty’s luck to investigate the demonic spirit of one side. The entire Wan’an County is too big, and it is not a critical moment. Caizhi County will definitely not use luck to explore the whole city. But if It’s only Xixiu Mountain, and my Chen family can afford it.”
“Uncle Ping, go and pay two thousand taels of silver to the account!”
“Two thousand taels?” Chen Ping was startled, the Chen family relied on Chen Xuan as the head of the house, Doing some rice grain and silkworm business, the annual income is about 4,000 taels, and the daily expenses are taken into account, and the silver taels that can be put into the warehouse every year are only about 2,500 taels. Chen Luo was about to withdraw nearly a year’s worth of treasury money in one go, which made Chen Ping wonder whether Chen Luo was possessed by someone else.
“Master, do you want to ask Miss?” Chen Ping hesitated for a moment, but still said something tentatively.
Chen Luo frowned slightly. To be honest, he didn’t pay too much attention to money in his previous life, and although he himself was a poor social animal in his previous life, he didn’t have any idea about silver. The reason why he said the number “two thousand taels” was because I roughly remember that the county government can mobilize the luck of the dynasty to bless the wealthy families, and the price is clearly marked. The price of the wealthy families in the county is one thousand taels of silver.
Of course, the county government took the money and used it to build bridges and pave roads, support orphans and widows, and subsidize government schools, which made the dynasty even more lucky.
Seeing Chen Ping’s reaction, Chen Luo also realized that two thousand taels was not a small amount for the Chen family, and was about to agree to ask him to ask Chen Xuan’s opinion, but after thinking about it, this money was related to the safety of the Chen family. In any case, the cost can not be saved. Chen Xuan suffered such a serious injury just now, so don’t worry about her anymore. So his face became serious, and he said: “Let Chen Xuan take a good rest, I will handle this matter!”
Chen Ping was taken aback when he heard that, the young master actually took responsibility! It seems that what the master said is correct, men mature in an instant, so he nodded quickly: “I… I will go to the account to withdraw the cash.”
“Well, then you go, I will wait for you at the door. Others Don’t be alarmed, the tiger demon should not dare to attack the county.”
Chen Ping quickly responded, turned and left. Only then did Chen Luo turn his head to look at Zhong Kui. When Zhong Kui appeared before, as the master of book spirits, he sensed the weakening of Zhong Kui’s aura.
“What’s the matter with you? But you were injured in the fight with the ghost before?”
Zhong Kui was taken aback, and then bowed to Chen Luo: “My lord is concerned, and there is nothing wrong with this family. It’s just that the underworld is a bit weird here. Waiting for the lord to settle the tiger demon matter.” It won’t be too late for a certain family to report.”
Chen Luo nodded after hearing this. Zhong Kui was originally the judge of the underworld, and it is not unusual for the “Zhong Kui” book spirit he condensed to enter the underworld. But at this time, it is true that dealing with the tiger demon is the highest priority, so I won’t ask any more questions.
From the gate of the Chen Mansion is Xi’an Avenue, one of the three main streets in Wan’an County. This street is full of houses of the rich and powerful in the county, with some schools and medical clinics interspersed among them. It was the middle of the night, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Chen Ping drove out a carriage from the house. Chen Luo stepped into the carriage, got into the carriage, and let Chen Ping drive on the road, thinking about how to deal with the situation. The number one person in the county——Cai Tongchen of Cai Zhi County!
At midnight, it was between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Based on Chen Luo’s experience in his previous life, he would not knock on the leader’s door during this time period. After all, this time is too private, and the other party can do anything.
But at this time, Chen Luo couldn’t afford to choose. According to Zhong Kui, the tiger demon needs the ghost ghost to return before he can understand what the ghost ghost is doing, so the tiger demon doesn’t know that the ghost ghost was eaten by Zhong Kui for the time being. But if the ghost didn’t return to the tiger demon after dawn, the tiger demon must know that something happened to the ghost, and things would change.
Secondly, there is another reason why Chen Luo dared to do this, that is, Cai Tongchen had a close relationship with his dead father, and it is said that he was also mentored by Chen’s father. Chen Xuan, a woman, can support the Chen family’s business and develop, and Cai Tongchen’s help is indispensable for this.
The moon and stars were sparse, and the county government office was not too far from the Chen residence. After walking for about twenty minutes, Chen Ping drove the carriage to the back of the county government office. The county magistrate’s official residence is right behind the yamen, so naturally there is also a majestic main entrance behind the county yamen. Chen Ping stepped forward to knock on the door, and in less than a moment, the door opened with his sleepy eyes rubbing his sleepy eyes. Before he could utter a curse, he saw a piece of snowflake silver being handed over. After passing the silver, he took the greeting card with his right hand, said “wait first”, and closed the door.
At this time, Chen Ping wanted to understand why Chen Xuan was sure that Master Li would lead the way. At this time, the sect definitely didn’t dare to go directly to Cai Tongchen, so he could only go to his uncle, Master Li first. As a staff member, Master Li naturally has his own residence in the official residence.
What Chen Luo didn’t expect was that Master Li didn’t wait for it, but waited for a fierce air force to fly out from the back office and hit Chen Luo’s carriage, causing the entire carriage to be torn apart. Chen Luo only saw a middle-aged scribe with a good appearance flying out of the back office in a long gown, holding a long sword, pointing at himself, and shouted——
“Where is the monster, how dare you steal my nephew’s body. You have deceived my niece and all the servants, but you can’t deceive me, Cai Tongchen—”
The bright moon rises on the sea, and the sky is at this moment.
