Chapter 164 Old Man He goes bankrupt
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a story in Tongzhou. An old man named He gave birth to three sons, all of whom were very ordinary and vulgar people.
His eldest son is particularly mean. When he grew up, Old He married him a daughter of the Wang family.
But after this Wang married into the He family, she discovered that the boss He was so mediocre. As a result, she looked down on her husband in her heart.
Wang was depressed because of her unhappy marriage to her husband. Within a few years, she fell ill and died due to long-term lack of ambition.
After Wang's death, her ghost lingered on. Her ghost often possessed Shi, the wife of the second eldest son of the He family, causing mischief and causing chaos in the house.
The He family tried their best to hire Taoist priests to perform rituals for her, and burned countless paper money to give her, but she just refused to leave.
Old Man He felt very distressed about this, so he wrote a complaint and burned it in the City God's Temple, asking the City God to make the decision.
A few days after the petition was delivered, He Laoer's wife was possessed by a ghost again. This time it was not Wang's voice, but a man's voice saying: "Please answer the question."
Old man He was shocked, scared, and a little stunned, so he asked him: "Who are you?"
The male ghost said: "My surname is Shi. I am the father of your second daughter-in-law, and we are considered in-laws to you. After my death, I became a minor official in charge of records and documents under the hands of the City God, so I didn't pay much attention to things at home. .
It wasn't until yesterday, when I saw the ultimatum delivered by my father-in-law, that I realized that my daughter was being harassed by the ghost of the Wang family, and she was very distressed.
I have already begged the City God to send the Wang family to Yunnan, so that he will not harm my daughter again.
It's just that when my daughter married into your family, I had already passed away, causing the family to fall into poverty and poverty! I felt very ashamed that I didn’t have a dowry for my daughter, and I always felt resentful about it.
Now I have accumulated five hundred taels of silver, which I should give to my daughter as a dowry. The father-in-law can prepare incense, paper money, fruit plate and other sacrifices at midnight on the [-]th of this month, and together with your second son, offer sacrifices in the southwest corner of the kitchen. After the paper money is burned, dig out the soil underneath and you can get it. "
Old man He quickly agreed.
The male ghost then told him: "On that day, please prepare a vegetarian banquet for your relatives. I will invite two or three of my peers to celebrate you together."
Old He did everything as he said.
At midnight on the [-]th day, Old He and his second son burned incense and paper to make sacrifices. They immediately dug up the earth and saw a jar.
The father and son were overjoyed and immediately opened the seal to find out.
Who knew it would be empty inside.
The father and son were greatly disappointed and returned angrily.
That night, the male ghost, Mr. He's in-law Shi Mou, was attached to his daughter again and said to Mr. He: "My in-law, you can't blame me! Your luck is really bad. Ah! I didn’t expect that all my savings for many years would be taken away by a dog in one fell swoop! What can I do?”
When Old Man He heard this, he thought at first that he had been snatched away by his own son, but then he thought that his second daughter-in-law didn't have any brothers!
Think about it carefully. Now I understand what's going on.
It turned out that many years ago, Old Man He had an older sister who married into a family named Xu and gave birth to a son. The old man said that a nickname would make a living, so he named her Quanzi.
Later, his brother-in-law and sister died, and Quanzi became an orphan.
Alone and helpless, he could only take the thousand taels of gold he got from selling his property and go to his uncle He Laoweng.
But for some reason, Old He didn't like his nephew and was very mean to him.
Not long after, Quan Zi also died, and all the gold he brought belonged to Old Man He.
So what Shi said just now was that Quanzi must have resented Old Man He, so he took the lead and came over to take away the five hundred taels of silver.
This is probably the devil's business. The devil knows.
Old Man He knew that he owed his nephew, but it was hard to say anything, so the matter was dropped.
Half a year later, the second daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house and returned home at night.
As soon as she entered the door, she suddenly fell to the ground crying and kept cursing Mr. He.
The whole He family was surprised and didn't know what happened.
After a while, everyone heard the reason from her scolding words. It turned out that the ghost of the eldest daughter-in-law Wang escaped from the place where she was sent to Yunnan.
Everyone carried the second daughter-in-law back to her room first. When they were discussing how to deal with it, they saw the maid in the third daughter-in-law's room suddenly running out of the room.
The maidservant said to everyone in a panic: "The third lady was putting on her evening makeup in the room just now. For some reason, she suddenly broke the dressing table, then threw herself on the table and shouted, her voice was very ferocious and she looked very scary. I don’t know why.”
Mr. He and his wife hurriedly went to the third daughter-in-law's room to check, and it turned out that she was possessed by a ghost again.
The ghost this time turned out to be the ghost officer responsible for escorting Wang's distribution.
Just listen to the ghost officer scolding: "Old slave, you are so heartless! You have no mercy at all for your daughter-in-law. You will not let her go even after she dies. You even go to the City God to complain to her and send her to a prison." a place far away!
And you relied on your own relative, Weng Shi, to be in charge of the copywriting, and you actually asked me to do this hard work of thousands of miles!
You old dog, how can I go to Yunnan without giving you a penny? Now Mrs. Wang is grateful for my kindness in taking care of her along the way and has married herself to me! But she and I can neither go back home nor enter the Yamen, so we have to come and borrow your house as a bridal chamber!
He old slave, go and warm the wine and relieve me of the cold! "
Old man He had no choice but to let it go.
The rooms of the second daughter-in-law and the third daughter-in-law were originally facing each other, very close to each other.
From then on, if Mrs. Wang possesses the second daughter-in-law, then the ghost will possess the third daughter-in-law; if Mrs. Wang possesses the third daughter-in-law, then the ghost will possess the second daughter-in-law, and the He family will have no peace all day long.
Old Man He couldn't bear the disturbance, so he had to go to the City God's Temple to complain again, but the City God no longer appeared.
Old He could only find a way by himself. He spent a lot of money and sought alchemists everywhere to drive away ghosts at home.
But it had no effect. The two ghosts refused to leave and still stayed in his house to cause trouble.
The He family just endured it for two years.
One day, Jiangxi Taoist priest Lan Fangjiu was invited to his home by Mr. He.
This Lan Fangjiu looks like an immortal and very capable person.
He first prepared more than a dozen talisman papers and pasted them on all the doors of He Laoweng's house. Then he entered the room, took the sword, and started to practice the magic with Gang steps.
Because Old He often invites people to come to his house to do this, the two daughters-in-law have become accustomed to it. At the beginning, he showed no fear and even laughed, cursed and laughed at Lan Fangjiu in the room.
But just after a while, they became very frightened, ran around in the room, and then began to beg Lan Fangjiu.
At this moment, a thunderous sound was suddenly heard in the corner of the room. The two daughters-in-law were so frightened that they fell to the ground and did not dare to move.
When Lan Fangjiu saw this, he took out a small bottle and shouted at them: "Evil ghosts come in! Evil ghosts come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two streams of green smoke were seen coming out of the bodies of the two daughters-in-law and floating into the small bottles.
With nine quick eyes and quick hands, Lan Fang immediately sealed the mouth of the bottle.
The two daughters-in-law also woke up and everything returned to normal.
Lan Fangjiu ordered people to dig up Wang's grave and split the coffin with an axe.
The Wang family inside looked the same as before, except that her body was rigor mortis and still bleeding.
After Lan Fangjiu had Wang's body burned, the ashes and the small bottle were buried together, and the top was suppressed with stones.
From then on, there were no ghosts in the He family.
However, Mr. He also went bankrupt!
