Chapter 587: Ransom Money

 “Then the descendants of the Hu family are crazy?”

Now, as a **** storm breaks out, Hu Ma can also imagine that there is great commotion in this doorway.

If it is really some country spirit, it will be killed if it is killed. Maybe it will be burdened with something, but no living person will pay attention to this. It may be recorded in the Hundred Ghost Record, even if it only occupies a mere four or five characters. Yes, which one is simple?

Being able to record hundreds of ghosts at least proves that in twenty years, it is extremely outstanding in a state capital and can be noticed by the higher authorities. Just like if the record of hundreds of ghosts is redone now, if Little Red Lantern does not become the murderer , will also be recorded on it.

How could such a spirit be killed without being noticed by the people in the doorway?

Obviously, in places like Mingzhou, no one has dared to come and stop the ghosts of Zhenzong Mansion from going on a killing spree. But as more and more heads fall, the news spreads, but outside, I don’t know how many people are offended. They were dissatisfied with this and even started discussing secretly:

 “How bold, what is this young master of the Hu family doing?”

 “Establish prestige?”

“Everyone in the world knows that your Zhenzhen Mansion is currently short of people. The shortage is so great that all spirits from the mountains and wild places can join the government regardless of their family background or origin. Even if the shortage is such that one’s own relatives are killed, this rule must be established.”

“It’s understandable that you’re re-ordering ghosts now, but don’t you say that you’re being served by high-ranking officials with generous salaries, but now you’re murderous and you’re not afraid of the wrath of the public?”

   …”

   …”

 “So what if you offend the public?”

Aunt Zhang had reminded her of these words, but Hu Ma only sneered: "Let each of them have a great family and a great business, but we are not allowed to suppress the Hu family and destroy it?"

He really didn't take this to heart. If it was really said, it was these people who responded that he achieved his goal. What about the few he killed earlier?

I had deliberately chosen to be at a close distance and had poor skills, so that I could kill easily and easily create a momentum. However, on the list of those who were given to sweet potatoes for burning, they all appeared to be not very smart and killed them. It will seem less troublesome.

 Now that he has such momentum, it is just the time for him to really exert his strength.

It was not just the Hu family in the Qing Yuan Dynasty who were exterminated. These people took advantage of the fact that the Zhencong Mansion had been closed for 20 years and recruited the spirits and ghosts under the name of the Zhencong Mansion. Isn’t this an act of extermination?

Now, it just depends on who jumps out first.

And just after Hu Ma explained these things clearly, someone quickly jumped out. Agu Zhang had set up the altar as usual. Those who were uninhibited and disrespectful to the altar were all recorded one by one, but some were far away. Plus there were so many of them, it was too late to kill them all.

But when I got up on the altar on this day, it was even more different. I had just recited the incantation and performed the magic on the altar, and suddenly, a cold wind blew and burned out the three pillars of incense. The two flags hanging on the left and right started to burn with a roar.

The altar was quiet until it was completely burned, and Agu Zhang's face had turned extremely pale, and because she was so angry, two blushes quickly appeared.

She had just hung up this banner recently, and she hadn't even told Huma about it. The reason was because a lot of people had died recently, so she was a little more polite. Hanging up two banners was equivalent to an extra ritual curtain. , seems more polite on the altar.

 But now, this banner has been burned?

This is tantamount to not showing any respect to the altar, not only refusing to come, but also directly cutting off the altar, right?

"broken…"

She wanted to notify Hu Ma immediately, but she hesitated. She knew the temper of the shopkeeper. If she heard about this, wouldn't she want to kill him again?

But at this moment, a misty black mist suddenly blew up outside the altar. In the mist, someone could vaguely hear playing and playing, and they rushed straight to the altar from a distance. Aunt Zhang also straightened up and looked at it carefully. .

I already knew in my heart that the thing I had invited from the altar had not come, but something else had been brought along, illuminated by the oil lamp on the altar.

"Huh?"

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the ritual tent coming far through the night. When I arrived in front of the altar, I was slightly startled. It seemed that I thought I was coming to Zhenzhen Mansion, but I didn't expect that it was just a country ghost. Sister, you created such a simple altar.

The leader was a kid wearing only a shroud, with a pale face and bright red lips. His body was slender and swaying, but his frame was huge. He was playing with a paper fan in his hand.

Staggering, he came to the altar without kneeling. He looked at Agu Zhang, who was a head taller than the one sitting on the altar. As soon as he closed his fan, the sound of blowing and beating around him disappeared, and he walked toward the altar. Aunt Zhang bowed and said:

"Grandma, I'm here. We are from the Yan family in Tiemen, Guazhou. I would like to say something for Mr. Chunsheng who lives in the three-eye pavilion of Baisha Lake in Guazhou City. Mr. Chunsheng was indeed named by the Zhenzhen Mansion back then. It’s just that now I have changed my mind and am dedicated to the benefit of the people.”

"My master also thought that he was kind and compassionate, and he knew a lot of people, so he became a good friend. Now, even though Zhenzheng Mansion was born, Master Chunsheng really doesn't want to commit the sin of killing again, so my master ordered me to specially send him the ransom money. this."

“I have a few more words that I would like to tell to the Master of the Zhenzong Palace, the Hu family, in person, and I would also like to ask the grandma on the altar to introduce me on my behalf…”

   …”

 “Redemption money?”

Aunt Zhang couldn't help but frowned. She frowned when she looked at the unusually arrogant little emissary in front of her. She started calling the emissary herself, but the other party didn't come, but the ransom money arrived. It was really unexpected.

The key is that this little emissary came over with a ritual tent, that's all. He even wants to see the master of Zhen Zhen Mansion?

Of course I can’t see it, I haven’t even...officially seen it.

She had previously been helping people get rid of evil spirits in the countryside, and there were many dangerous things, but she had never seen anything so complicated. She already had some doubts in her heart. She looked at Grandma Qi next to her and said, "The Hu family master is... busy. But here is my Zhenzhu family’s reasoner.”

 “reason?”

Grandma Qi Gu next to her was smoking a cigarette, clicking away in a daze. When she saw Agu Zhang looking towards her, she was startled: "Huh? Me?" Even the slender ghost turned around and faced Grandma Qi Aunt looked up and down and recognized her origins. She couldn't help but frowned and walked forward slowly.

I wanted to salute, but looking at Grandma Qi's dumbfounded look, I felt a little disrespectful, so I just gave a half salute and said: "This immortal family, please listen to the words of the ghost vase: "

"My master once said that God has the virtue of promoting good life, and the Zhenzhen Mansion is just to guard the yin and yang to prevent people in the world from breaking the rules, but in the end it is just to deter those unruly country spirits and wild monsters, and not teach them to give birth to children. Harmful intentions.”

"Now that Mr. Chunsheng has changed his mind, my master is also willing to invite him to the Yan family ancestral hall to worship him as the protector of the family. He will receive the incense of my Yan family and protect the fate of my Yan family. I also ask Master Zhencun to be compassionate and open-minded." , took the ransom money and signed his name."

"From now on, don't invite him on the altar of ghosts again!"

   …”

He was chattering all the time, and his words were very slippery, but Grandma Qigu didn't understand it at all.

The expression was confused: "Why?"

This sentence made the ghost confused. He didn't bother to say it again. He just frowned and said: "After saying so much, the immortal family didn't understand it?"

 “I understand, I understand.”

Grandma Qi glanced at the box behind him, which was carried by two ghostly figures, and said harshly: "I understood just now, are you here to pay the ransom money?"

The ghost was startled and nodded slowly: "Yes."

 Grandma Qi’s expression became even more confused and she said, “Why?”

This sentence immediately choked the ghost. He reacted for a moment and then said: "I just said it..."

 “What’s the use of that…”

Grandma Qi Gu blocked him back with just one sentence and said: "Who asked you to redeem yourself? Just bring the redemption money. When you come to my house to buy a piece of tofu, you have to ask people first if they can sell it. How can you throw it away?" Just pay and leave?”

 “Does the Hu family owe you something?”

   …”

                            

The ghost was really stunned by what Grandma Qi Gu said. He wanted to explain again, but suddenly realized that the yellow leather bag was not entangled. The country wandering ghost Agu on the altar next to him also remained silent and did not introduce himself. The master of the Zhenzong Mansion simply smiled.

He said: "The Immortal family just needs to hand over my words. I think the Hu family master will understand. I will put the ransom money here. Please also hand over my master's name sticker and say goodbye!"

As he spoke, he actually cupped his hands and, unwilling to say more, turned around and disappeared with a gust of wind.

  "Don't you understand what I said, Grandma Qi?"

The seventh aunt's grandmother was a little anxious. She stood up and cursed in the direction where he disappeared: "Whose family is this, so ignorant of etiquette?"

The more Agu Zhang thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. This person just kept saying that she was a little ghost, but she had been a ghost for so many years and had never seen such a ghost. She hurriedly got up from the altar and picked up the name on the box. Post it and take a look.

“Guazhou Iron Gate Yan Family…”

She thought about it for a while, but vaguely remembered something. Although she was a country wanderer, she still had some knowledge after traveling all over the country for so many years. Now her face suddenly changed several times: "These are the three people on the Dongxiang Road. Everyone, the Yan family?”

"broken…"

   …”

Grandma Qi next to her was puzzled. Before she could speak, she heard a voice suddenly rang out in the night next to her: "Three families on Dongxiang Road?"

“So it’s not the ten surnames…”

   …”

Following this voice, Hu Ma Zheng walked out of the night, holding a green-faced fanged head in his hand, and threw it into the basket in front of the altar. Then he took the post from Aunt Zhang and glanced at it. Then he threw it on the box again.

He said calmly: "Send the box back to him, including the name tag!"

"in addition…"

He thought for a moment, then took out another copper plate from his arms, and said calmly: "Send this copper coin too, so that others won't dislike us for not knowing etiquette!"
