Money can make all the difference, and I still need four small yellow croakers to get one big one. As long as I can make money, no matter how hot the potato is, I dare to touch it now.
Only then did Huang Qi's eyes become firm, and he said cautiously: "The matter is not in Jiuhe County, but in Gai County, which is almost thirty miles away."
After Huang Qi's narration, I learned what happened.
There was a wealthy family in Gai County who was engaged in the pharmaceutical business. His wife became pregnant. The whole family was very happy. This was a great event.
But just a few days before giving birth, something went wrong.
A pregnant woman went to the temple to worship Guanyin for no apparent reason. There were a lot of people there that day and she was squeezing around. However, she slipped and fell into the wishing pool, killing one person and two people.
The temple picked up the body and sent it back to the noble man's house. After that, the noble man's family was restless. Every night, the yard was full of wailing sounds, and there were women shouting that it hurt, and that the baby was not guilty...
The noble man tried every means to find the husband, but to no avail. Finally, the husband gave him some advice and asked them to come to Jiuhe County to find a yin-receiving woman named Luo Yin Po.
However, their people came and went to Lijia Village, but they could not find Luo Yinpo. The people in Lijia Village even said that Luo Yinpo was dead.
They were all desperate and had no choice but to go back home, but a villager in the village said that there was another corpse collector who could catch the dead. He had just been driven away from the village and he should be able to find him in Jiuhe County.
Huang Qi spoke very quickly. When he said this, I immediately realized that the villager who informed the news was probably Xie Xiaohua's man.
After a pause, Huang Qi scratched his head and said: "Mr. Xiao Li, I have sharp ears. When I heard them inquiring on the dock, I knew they were talking about you. No, I immediately agreed to them and asked you to come." Right now. Those people are still waiting on the dock."
Immediately afterwards, Huang Qi made another gesture, clasping his fingers together.
"Fifty yuan?" My Adam's apple rolled.
Huang Qi immediately shook his head. He told me that the noble family offered 100 yuan, which was the deposit he agreed to go. If this thing is done properly, there will be a reward!
My heart nearly jumped out of my throat.
This transaction only required a deposit, and it was met three times in one go, and there was also a reward when the deal was completed. Wouldn’t the big yellow croakers all live together? !
I immediately told Huang Qi that I would take over the matter and asked him to wait for me while I picked up the things.
He turned around and went back to the yard, took out the big black wooden box that brought the Yin Po, and put the chicken in the basket on his back.
As for the guy who retrieved the body, I hesitated and didn’t bring him.
Before leaving, I left a note in the room.
Basically, I told my second uncle that if a business came to my door and he was not here, I would not have time to find him. I would first go to Gai County to do a big job, and I would make enough money when I came back, so he should not worry about me.
I didn't bother Zhiren Xu and followed Huang Qi directly to the dock.
After waiting on the pier, I saw the group of people he was talking about.
There are two people left in this group, one of whom is a man in his early thirties, as tall and thin as a bamboo pole, named Zhu Guang.
The other was a thin and small man, who must be in his fifties. Huang Qi called him Butler Zhu.
At this moment, I knew that most of the noble people in Gaixian County were named Zhu.
Butler Zhu was very respectful when he heard that I was the wife of the receptionist, while Zhu Guang was modest and courteous.
And from their mouths, I also easily understood that they originally had someone, but when Huang Qi said that they could find the Yinpo, they hurried back to Gai County to report the news, so as to avoid too much panic in the house.
After a brief communication, I also confirmed the deposit with them.
The housekeeper gave me a hundred dollars on the spot, and assured me that as long as the matter was done properly, their head would not be stingy.
After I got the money, I had nothing to say. I just urged them to hurry back and maybe get there tonight. Maybe we can get the matter done tonight.
Suddenly, Butler Zhu and Zhu Guang were very excited.
And Zhu Guang told me that we can get there without dark, and they brought a carriage and driver.
After that, we set off from Jiuhe County.
Of course, Huang Qi didn't follow me. When I arrived, I told him that if he met my second uncle, I would tell him about my situation...
Thirty miles is no longer a short journey, and it takes more than half an hour to punt on the waterway. By the time we arrived at Gaixian County, it was finally dark.
The Zhu family is in the center of Gai County. It is a large house with four entrances and four exits. It is much more grand than the Meng family.
After entering the Zhu family's house, I was led to the main room. Zhu Guang left, leaving only Butler Zhu following me.
Of course, as soon as we entered the main room, someone brought us refreshments. Butler Zhu has always been very respectful and explained that Zhu Guang has gone to inform the head of the family, who will be here soon.
I drank some tea and ate some snacks to dispel the fatigue from the journey.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, I met the owner of the Zhu family courtyard.
A man in his fifties, about the same age as Butler Zhu, he was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw me.
But soon, a kind smile appeared on his face, he walked up to me and shook my hand.
I actually know why the head of the Zhu family is in that expression.
I am not very old, like Luo Yinpo, who is already sixty or seventy years old.
In any line of work, age represents seniority.
In the same way, I was also direct. Before the Zhu family leader could speak, I told him that I agreed to this matter happily and would definitely solve it. If it didn't work out, I would refund all the deposit and they wouldn't need to give it to me. Return to Jiuhe County by yourself.
The head of the Zhu family quickly waved his hand and said that he had no other intention, but that he was surprised that there were so many people now.
He is indeed a businessman, and these words are very popular.
After that, we were no longer polite. I went straight to the point and said it was dark now and I wanted to see the body.
If there is no big problem, you can get the vaginal connection right away!
Immediately afterwards, Master Zhu and Butler Zhu took me to the backyard.
The backyard was much smaller than the front yard, and in the center was a dark coffin.
The coffin was covered with pale lime, making it look particularly gloomy.
The moon appeared at this moment, but today's moon is a bit weird, covered with a layer of fog.
This is the ghost moon that is often said in rural areas. The moonlight is so hazy that it is difficult to see clearly. Even with a lantern, it is difficult to walk on the road.
Moreover, the weather is so sneaky that you might go out in the middle of the night and bring something dirty into the door when you come back...
The appearance of this ghost moon made me slightly uncomfortable.
Even the corpse collectors would avoid the ghost moon when doing business.
However, the head of the Zhu family next to me looked eager, and I and I were all here. If this matter is not done today, it will have to be postponed until tomorrow.
It will be a long time before we return to Jiuhe County, and my second uncle will definitely be worried too.
With my thoughts at this point, I suppressed other thoughts and placed the big black wooden box on the ground and the backpack aside.
Then, I took out the black cat fur jacket and gray fairy gloves.
After putting it on, I felt a sense of gloominess running through my whole body.
She bent her back involuntarily, like an old lady who couldn't straighten her back.
So much so that the head of the Zhu family and Butler Zhu beside me were frightened and obviously avoided me.
I closed my eyes for a moment and calmed down, and my whole body felt much more relaxed.
When I got to the coffin, I carefully pushed the lid open.
Amidst the creaking sound, the coffin lid fell slightly open.
The weak moonlight reflected it, and there were many lanterns hanging in the backyard itself, and there were lights.
The scene inside the coffin is eye-catching.
But what stunned me was that the coffin was empty... Where was the body? !
No, the bottom of the coffin is not completely empty. There is also a pillow for the dead...
At that time, I frowned. Originally, I wanted to ask the Zhu family master where they took the body.
But the next moment, I came back to my senses. They definitely couldn't touch the body...
The body of this pregnant woman disappeared without any reason? !
Obviously, I kept staring at the bottom of the coffin, which also aroused the surprise of Butler Zhu and the head of the Zhu family.
The housekeeper was a little timid and did not dare to get close. The Zhu family owner was obviously uneasy and whispered: "Mr. Xiao Li, what's wrong with you?"
? Any questions? "
He also came closer and looked into the coffin.
Then his whole body froze, his body swayed, and he collapsed on the ground with a bang, and said tremblingly: "Where is the person... Where is the person?!"
