It concerns the lives of the people closest to them, and if the hungry ghosts are not contained, they will turn into evil spirits in the future, and none of the three members of the family may be spared. So it may not be effective, but there must be difficulties, so you have to try it.

So the three families found the leader of the largest beggar group in the market, who is now the leader of the beggar gang, Diao Dechao.

When I mentioned my request to Diao Dechao, he seemed very hesitant and said he would discuss it with the brothers.

After discussing for about an hour, Diao Dechao stood up and agreed to give his help a try. Of course, the person who ventured in to deliver the tribute was himself, but the premise was that the three families must first give his brothers a sum of money.

If he works for these wealthy people, enters the righteous village, angers the hungry ghosts, loses his life in the righteous village, and is eaten by the hungry ghosts, then his brothers can live a good life with the money.

As soon as this was said and spread, all the beggars in Linfu County gathered together, claiming to be Diao Dechao's brothers and wanting a piece of the pie.

Diao Dechao was quite generous. Even if some of these people had fought with him over a steamed bun and wished they could eat it, he accepted it generously.

The next day was the 15th day of this month. On the 14th day, Diao Dechao got the silver coins collected by three families and went to the bank to exchange them for copper coins.

All the beggars in Linfu County became brothers of Diao Dechao, a total of 112 people. Depending on their close relationship with Diao Dechao, each of them received a hundred copper coins to one tael of silver.

Now the biggest difficulty has been solved, but the secondary difficulty has arisen again. Yizhuang is locked and it is the boundary of the county government. No one can enter if they want to.

Bribery the yamen who holds the key to Yi Zhuang?

They tried, but the government official who succeeded Jiang Yunhe in charge of Yizhuang was an honest man who didn't know how to adapt and had no room for change. Pan Dacai guessed that this man was also afraid, fearing that if the offering failed, he would anger the hungry ghosts and might be implicated.

They open the door themselves.

This road is blocked, so we have to find another way out.

Go directly to the county magistrate Yao Qiguan? After all, the yamen officer said that he can only obey the orders from above. But it is impossible to think about it. He is the county magistrate, how can he cooperate with such nonsense activities?

Linfu County is not far from the capital, and it is under the eyes of the emperor. The three of them put themselves in their shoes. If they were county magistrates, they would not wade into this muddy water. The best policy is to protect themselves wisely.

After all, they are both businessmen, so they soon thought of looking for Doctor Xue. This Doctor Xue lives in Yao Mansion and specializes in treating the son of Yao Zhixian. He is regarded by Yao Zhixian as his own family member and benefactor. He can definitely be treated by Yao Zhixian.

Speak.

But the question is, why did Dr. Xue take the risk of offending Magistrate Yao to help them? There is no reason, but money can make ghosts push their wheels. What they want to do is to bribe to please ghosts, so before that, bribe a

What is the doctor afraid of? It's not like directly bribing Magistrate Yao.

How important it is to have a middleman.

Doctor Xue did not agree at first. However, the three family heads came up with the standard moral kidnapping tactics of "saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda" and "curing diseases, saving people and resurrecting gods" to a doctor. The most important thing was that they also had a hundred taels of gold.

.

Doctor Xue reluctantly accepted the money and got the job done.

The reply he got was that Yao Qiguan acquiesced. But he couldn't give him the key. He was completely unaware of the matter. As for the government servants and watchmen who patrolled at night, they happened to not be around Yizhuang.

It doesn't matter if you don't have a key. Among the traffickers and stooges, why can't you find someone who knows how to open a lock? Spend some money and offer a reward, and there will always be a thief who takes the job.

There is nothing that money cannot do, and there is no link that money cannot solve.

Finally, Diao Dechao took his two taels of silver and went to the market to buy roast chicken, wine, snacks and preserved fruits. According to the requirements of the monk who returned to secular life, he entered the Yizhuang at midnight on the night of the 15th.

According to the requirements of the monk who returned to secular life, he not only had to send the tributes inside, but also had to worship a stick of incense inside, say good things to the three families, and persuade Bai Yisheng.

The heads of the three families each brought their own servants. Diao Dechao's brothers and beggars brought a dozen of the brothers who were closest to him and who received the most money, and they all stood guard at the gate of Yizhuang.

The retired monk also came as a special consultant for this incident.

Next is the moment to witness the miracle.

After the stick of incense was burned out, the monk who returned to secular life shouted outside that Diao Dechao could come out.

After waiting for another moment, Diao Dechao walked out of Yizhuang shakily, his whole body soaked with sweat.

Diao Dechao was shaking like chaff and fell into the arms of several brothers, thankfully saying that he had fulfilled his mission.

He felt the gloomy wind inside, and the shadow of the hungry ghost appeared and disappeared, as if it was very close. Several times, he felt that he had difficulty breathing, as if something had strangled his neck, but fortunately, the hungry ghost did not appear in the end.

Want his life.

Then everyone used the oil lamp to look at Diao Dechao's neck. After seeing the red handprints on it clearly, they screamed in surprise.

The retired monk asked Diao Dechao to take a good rest, and the three families went back to wait for the results. They had to give the hungry ghost Bai Yisheng some time to think about it. Don't give up on treatment during this period. The patient should take medicine and receive treatment.

He couldn't guarantee the final result, but judging from the fact that the hungry ghost didn't eat Diao Dechao, there was hope.

Less than twelve hours later, Hu Xiyan and Dan Yuyuan stopped having vomiting and diarrhea and could drink some gruel. On the night of the third day, Pan Xiaoying woke up. Although she was still very weak, the doctor said

It takes several months to recover.

Facts have proved that the method mentioned by the monk who returned to secular life worked. The heads of the three families came to thank him again. However, the monk who returned to secular life said that it was no longer suitable for him to stay here for a long time. He had helped people, but he might have angered the hungry ghosts.

In order to save his life, the monk who returned to secular life packed his bags and said he was going to travel around the world to do good deeds and accumulate merit. Before leaving, he told the three heads of the family not to stop worshiping. Once they stopped, the hungry ghosts would find out that your hearts were not sincere and played tricks on him.

When resentment and anger are doubled, the consequences will be disastrous.

Of course they did not dare to stop, so they sent away the monk who had returned to secular life, and then went to find Diao Dechao. At this time, Diao Dechao was living in the inn, and the three families jointly contributed funds to support him.

Diao Dechao always wanted to escape and continue to be his beggar.

Why do you want to go out to be a beggar instead of a good life with fine clothes and fine food? That's because Diao Dechao knows that what he is enjoying now is not in vain. Those three families want him to be free from the first day of the next month, the fifteenth day of the next month, and the next month.

On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, people go to Yizhuang to deliver offerings and worship.

Diao Dechao simply made it clear. This experience was enough to give him nightmares for the rest of his life. He would never go in a second time. He agreed this time because he and his brothers were about to starve to death.

Instead of everyone dying together, it is better to sacrifice him and let the brothers live.

But people, once they have experienced a near-death escape, they will cherish life very much. Diao Dechao pointed to the fingerprints on his neck and vowed that there was no way for him to go to Yi Zhuang to make offerings.

The three house owners are not in a hurry. It doesn't matter if there is no door. There are still windows. How can the windows be opened? The almighty money.

How can the window be kept open? Once it is opened, even if the three of them want to close it, Diao Dechao will not be willing to close it? The answer is almighty, continuous money.

Didn't Diao Dechao take a fancy to brotherly love? The three heads of the family asked him if he wanted all the brothers to be fed and clothed warmly forever. As long as he was willing to continue to cooperate and help, the three families were willing to make offerings to Linfu County every month.

All beggars.

Pan Dacai asked Diao Dechao: Do ​​you want to set up a beggar gang, be the gang leader, and have all beggars bow to you? Do you like rights?

The head of the Hu family asked Diao Dechao: Do ​​you want to live in a big house, eat well and drink spicy food every day, and live the life of a wealthy family? Do you like wealth?

The head of the Shan family asked Diao Dechao: Do ​​you want to have three wives and four concubines, and take any beauty to your bed? Do you want to continue to have heirs? Women and descendants, do you like it?

Diao Dechao was dizzy, and the sense of the picture came to him. For a beggar, this was a step to the sky. If he wanted something, he would have to pay for it with his life.

And some things, once you have them, can never be lost again.

So with the help of the three family heads, Diao Dechao responded to the call and became the leader of the Beggars Gang. The beggars had no reason not to support him. When he became the leader, the beggars would have food to eat, and they did not have to risk their own lives to enter the Yizhuang.

Good deal.

So starting from nearly two years ago, the Pan, Hu, and Shan families had to make donations to Doctor Xue and Diao Dechao, the leader of the Beggar Gang, twice a month.

It's easy for monks who have returned to secular life. Those who make suggestions only need to be sent away once, and there is no continuity. Perhaps the monks just run away because they can't make much money if they stay, and if something goes wrong in the future, they may be affected.

Bar.

Doctor Xue used the money to manage the government officials who patrolled on the nights of the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, and also had to give Yao Magistrate some benefits from time to time. According to Doctor Xue, what he would get in the end was less than 10% of the money. He helped with this

It was out of compassion to save people, and he didn't care about the scraps of silver.

The leader of the beggar gang, Diao Dechao, spent half of the money on buying real estate to get away from the beggars, and the other half was distributed to his beggars.

This beggar gang still has to exist. If they are no longer beggars, then their lives will be in danger if they enter the charity village to worship Bai Yisheng, who was a beggar during his lifetime. After all, the premise of this job is that they must maintain their identity as beggars.

Diao Dechao was very lucky. In the past two years, twice a month, although he was more or less injured, he came out of Yizhuang alive. Now his life is prosperous.

I just didn't expect that after nearly two years, something changed again. Pan Xiaoying fell ill and fell into a coma for no apparent reason.

After listening to Dalinzi and Lao Sun's story, Yu Qingfeng could only smile bitterly.

This is a routine, but it is not only a routine in movies and TV series, but also a routine in reality.
