Tianting Courier

Chapter 440　
"You have heard a saying in the ancient city that no, the Shi family is the richest if you don't go out for thousands of miles."

The driver was older than Wei Qing, probably in his early 30s, and while driving slowly, he said, "What does this mean? In the past, for people in the ancient city, as long as they didn't go Those who live in the big cities outside, the Shi family is the richest family in their eyes."

Wei Qing didn't interrupt him, but took out a cigarette and lit it, and gave the driver a cigarette by the way.The ancient city at night is very lively, there are many people, and it is easy to get stuck in traffic.The driver glanced at him and said a good cigarette, and smoked it skillfully, taking advantage of the traffic jam, he continued to chatter.

"This matter has to start with a major event in the ancient city 30 years ago."

Wei Qing couldn't help asking: "You're talking about the incident where the Town God's Temple was burned in the suburbs, right?"

"Oh, you know quite a lot. That's right, it's this matter. To put it bluntly, the scandal of the Town God's Temple was exposed and the Town God's Temple was burned. It is closely related to the current head of the Shi family, Shi Tianfu. I heard that the young At that time, Shi Dashan, who was still a poor boy, inadvertently learned one thing when he asked the God in the Temple of the God of Wealth, that is, the hidden bandits in the Temple of the Town God. The favored Shi Tianfu has become the richest person in the ancient city for thousands of miles in just ten years. Antiques, mining, treasures, construction, and any industry that can make money, Shi Dashan people play thieves, like sitting It's like getting on a rocket, and people call him the richest man in Shi!"

Wei Qing frowned slightly. He didn't expect that it was Shi Tianfu who asked the God in the Temple of Fortune?

After being stuck in a traffic jam for a while, the driver continued on the road and passed a section of busy downtown area before he continued: "At that time, the richest man in Shishou was the most beautiful person around the entire ancient city. There is a beautiful and capable wife, and a pair of twins and daughters. He has happened to all the good things that should happen in this world. That is, 15 years ago, the richest man in Shi invited a woman who is said to be from Hong Kong at a high price. Mr. Feng Shui from over there wanted to renovate the old house left by his ancestors, but in the middle of the renovation, something happened! His teenage son fell into the patio of his house, died!"

"It's not a big deal. After all, people always have accidents, but then weird things happen one after another. On a wall in the yard, when there is a thunderstorm, there will be a very scary scene. It made his old mother become stupid overnight, and she was rambunctious all day long!"

Wei Qing asked: "It's a terrifying scene, what should I say?"

The driver asked, "Have you ever seen a shadow puppet show?"

Wei Qing nodded and said, "I saw it when I was a child."

"Think of that wall as the screen of a shadow puppet theater. Once there is a thunderstorm, there will be a scene of a guillotine, a high official sitting at the table of eight immortals, an executioner holding a big knife, and a The prisoner who was tied up with a rope and kneeling on the ground was struck by a thunderbolt, and the executioner raised his knife and fell, and a large amount of blood appeared on the wall, and the prisoner fell to the ground in response, tsk tsk, it was like watching a movie, it was so exciting Your legs are weak!"

Wei Qing looked at Mr. Legend, and Mr. Legend frowned tightly, apparently weighing whether what the driver said was true?
"I knew you wouldn't believe me when I said it. It's not the first time I've told people from other places about this, and no one believed it! But I still want to say that it's true. Some people didn't believe it a few years ago, so I deliberately asked One rainy day, I climbed over the wall and went to the Shijia compound, but I was scared to death. I also learned about it from the newspaper the next day. Since then, many people have said that when Shi Dashan started his business in his early years, he did Some shady things, so they got retribution! Shi Dashan, at the begging of his wife, donated most of his wealth, and this is how he got the name Shi Dashan. Donate money, please The eminent monk came to perform a religious service, but no one was killed in this Shi family again!"

"His wife took his daughter abroad, and he lived in the Shi family compound with his old mother. Except for thunderstorms, the occasional murders and severed heads on the magic wall have not been reported for so many years. other things. But ordinary locals would not go there!"

Wei Qing shook his head and said, "Since there is a problem with the old house, with Shi Tianfu's ability, it can be moved out, right?"

"Moving out? People don't know about this method. That crazy old lady, after being frightened into a fool, talked all day long, and outsiders couldn't hear what she was talking about. The main event is coming! According to seniority , my name is Shi Tianfu, I should be my uncle. In the early years, when I was young, I lived on the same street, and I belonged to fellow villagers. Such a big thing happened in the Shi family. Once, my father forced me to take some fruit Take a look at this crazy woman, after all, when the Shi family was safe, she helped my family a lot!"

"That day I knocked on the door with a basket of fruit, but no one answered, so I thought about going over the wall, putting the fruit in the yard and leaving. It was daytime and the weather was fine. I thought that as long as it wasn't a thunderstorm, I would go in and see It should be all right! After I climbed over the wall and entered, I put the basket in the pavilion in the yard and was about to leave. At this time, the crazy woman came out with a cane, her eyes were dull, like a walking dead, where am I? After caring so much, just climb over the wall and leave!"

"But when I climbed over the wall, I heard the crazy woman shout behind her back, Xiaoguzi, you are here! My legs trembled in fright, and I fell off the wall! Xiaoguzi, yes! My nickname! But after I heard that this crazy woman was so frightened, she didn’t even recognize her own son. How could she recognize me? I haven’t been to Shi’s house a few times! I got up and chatted with her, I didn't know what I was thinking at the time, did I become obsessed!"

"Guess what I heard?"

Wei Qing looked at the driver with some amusement. The driver's expression was too rich and exaggerated, just like a storyteller, so he complied with him and asked, "She said that the Shi family can't just leave the Shi family?" Hospital, otherwise you will die badly!"

"Damn, you can guess this?" The driver cursed, nodded and said, "That's right, that's probably what it means. Later, I specifically inquired about it. When the Shi family compound was just born, Shi Tianfu He took his mother out of the compound, and almost died in the hospital. Then Ishida Fu transported his mother back to the old house overnight. According to our rules here, if a woman dies outside, no matter how high her status is, it is okay The opportunity to enter the ancestral hall. As a result, the person who was about to die recovered immediately when he returned to the Shi family compound, but he was a little crazy, and there was no danger to his life. It has been more than ten years, and the crazy woman is not dead yet. Well, it's getting tougher and tougher!"

Wei Qing frowned and said, "No, you said just now that his wife and daughter are abroad, why is nothing wrong?"
