Chapter 26 Seven, there is a ghost

The grandfather wanted to inquire about some news through the five sons, but the five sons were cut off by the other party.As soon as Mei Xuanzi got out of this game, his reputation grew, and even government officials began to trust him.The situation is getting more and more severe, and the "Jiangxiang faction" is facing an unprecedented survival crisis in the Jianghuai region! After discussing some secret codes with Sanbatou to connect with the informant, the grandfather asked him to go back to rest. Grandpa brewed a pot of tea, drank it slowly, and thought about it.In the past few months, too many things have happened, especially what Zuo Yongchan said that night, thinking about it makes me afraid.During those secretive and thoughtless days, Grandpa felt tired.

The next morning, the housekeeper came to report that it was Huang Farong who asked to see her.The grandfather nodded in agreement, and Huang Farong came in. "Is grandpa feeling better?" "It's okay, it's okay." Grandpa raised his head and saw Huang Farong's face was full of tears. For some reason, he hurriedly asked, "What happened?" Huang Farong said in a low voice, "Arguing." Grandpa smiled slightly: "Hehe, husband and wife quarrel, quarrel at the head of the bed, and at the end of the bed, why?" Huang Farong lowered her head and said, "He came back from the riverside yesterday, and he kept silent all the time. He said he couldn't break the opponent's situation and didn't eat. I made him noodle soup, but he knocked him to the ground..."

The grandfather sighed: "Zizhi is a very strong boy. You see, I know his character, so I didn't dare to force him. Mei Xuanzi has an expert behind him. This kind of situation has alarmed the government. It’s broken, so it’s okay? You go back and have a good talk with Zizhan, and say that grandpa doesn’t blame him.” Huang Farong wiped away her tears, and continued: "This is not the most important thing. The important thing is that I told him that I knew the way to break it, and asked him to come with me to tell Grandpa. Unexpectedly, he not only didn't know the solution, He was happy, but he scolded himself for his lack of talent, beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying that a man of seven feet is not as good as a woman! He has no face to see grandpa!"

"Wait a minute..." Hearing this, the grandfather hurriedly interrupted Huang Farong, "You said you know the way to crack it?" "Yeah." Huang Farong glanced at his grandfather, smiling through tears. Grandpa stared at her, beckoning her to speak quickly. Huang Farong pursed her lips and squeezed out two words: "Smelly ball." Grandpa was taken aback: "What stinky ball?" Huang Farong went on to say, "There must be stinky balls on the wall!" "Speak well!" Grandpa was overheard. Huang Farong was taken aback for a moment, then realized that her grandfather didn't understand her dialect. "Stinky ball" is Shandong dialect, and she quickly explained: "It's mothballs. When I was bored when I was a child, I would use the stinky ball to fight bugs, draw a circle, put the bugs in it, and the bugs were so anxious..."

The grandfather was dying of anxiety, and the girl was chattering without getting to the point, but when he thought that he had brokered this marriage, Zhang Zizhan had a bad temper, and made this girl feel wronged, so he could only listen patiently. Huang Farong finally got to the point: "Once, both my parents were working in the fields, and I took care of my two-year-old sister at home. In order to comfort my crying sister, I used mothballs to draw a lamp on the adobe wall of my house." , After finishing the painting, I used a match to light it. I wanted to make my sister laugh, but I didn’t expect that the light was really on! The wall of Mei Xuanzi must have been mixed with camphor powder. I made a sketch in advance and put it on the wall The appearance of the lantern was traced on it, the white ash was dug out, filled with camphor powder, and then manually polished. As for the lantern flickering, it was a matter of the ratio of deployment. At first, Zizhan thought that the other party used yellow phosphorus, but then I just denied it. The yellow phosphorus burns instantly, and it can’t last for such a long time. As for the Kongming lanterns rising from the river, there must be people under the water. At that time, people’s attention was on the Fatai. , no one pays attention to the movement in the water..." Huang Farong said.

Grandfather heaved a sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair, relieved, and then said: "This matter must be kept strictly confidential, and I will tell Zizhan when I go back, and let him study it thoroughly, and then write this method into the "Zhafei Secret Book" .” Huang Farong went around behind the grandfather, picked up the teapot, filled the grandfather with a cup of tea, and said, "Grandfather has worked hard recently and is not in good health. When the fifth grandmother (Qiao Wumei) was alive, she taught me the massage method of traditional Chinese medicine. I know Knowing the twelve meridians, you can tap, press, push, rub, and peck. On weekdays, when the fifth grandma is tired, I will press for him, and I will press for you a few times, too?"

Grandpa was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and said, "No need. You can step back." Huang Farong smiled, and said, "Yes. Grandpa rested earlier, no matter how many things there are, he has to deal with them one by one. If Grandpa is exhausted, Farong will feel sorry for him." After finishing speaking, he moved his body and stepped back slowly. Grandpa looked at her back and fell into deep thought again.Just as Huang Farong was about to walk out of the yard, the grandfather suddenly said, "Farong, come back!" Huang Farong was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled secretly, and walked back quickly.

Grandpa pointed to the chair across the table: "Sit down and talk." Huang Farong sat down lightly, looking at her grandfather with her big eyes flickering. The grandfather pondered for a moment and said, "I want you to help me get rid of the ghost!" Huang Farong was shocked when he heard this. "Grandfather, why did you only believe in Farong?" Grandpa said, "Are you an inner ghost?" Huang Farong immediately said, "Of course not!" The grandfather said: "Then who else do you think can be trusted?" Huang Farong said: "Zizhi, and, uh... and..."

Grandpa's thinking is very clear, Huang Farong is from Southern Guangdong, and has no roots in the Jianghuai area, so it is impossible for the other party to develop into an informant in such a short period of time.Nobody is reliable except her.It is difficult to distinguish loyalty and traitors in the underworld. The closer the person is, the more likely they are to be stabbed in the back. Zhang Dan's achievements are a precedent.The grandfather had countless brothers, and when he was in crisis, he could only trust one woman, which shows the sadness of the elder brother. Grandpa said: "What if Zizhi is also an inner ghost?"

Huang Farong blushed with anxiety: "This...impossible..." The grandfather smiled and said, "I know it's impossible, but it's just that you cooperate with me to do the best. All ghosts try their best to cover themselves up, be careful everywhere, and be cautious in everything. Tomorrow I'm going to have a sudden 'food fortune'. Zhao, in the name of rewarding you for breaking the 'Little Ghost General', let all the Batou come to eat, you can toast as much as possible during the banquet, the more the better, and those who refuse to drink, or drink without getting drunk, must be suspected!"

Huang Farong was stunned: "How does my grandfather know that the inner ghost is in the Batou? It's not me waiting for the little feet?" Although it seems that only Batou is qualified to know such things as 'Ufa coffins', who can guarantee that Don’t the bosses tell their confidantes?” The grandfather said: "Not long ago, Zuo Yongchan, the 'Tianshengdao', visited and revealed everything about Wufa's coffin, and hinted that the inner ghost is in the batou." Huang Farong said: "How does grandfather know that Zuo Yongchan didn't kill someone with a borrowed knife?" The grandfather felt more and more that this girl was very powerful, and she thought of everything that the grandfather thought of.Grandpa smiled and said, "Just do as I tell you." Huang Farong said again: "Why did Zuo Yongchan tell grandfather these things so kindly? How did he know these things?" Grandpa smiled and said nothing. Huang Farong curled her lips, "Grandpa still doesn't trust me. But I'm too strong to drink, what if I pour it first before others do it?" Grandfather laughed loudly, turned around and took out a pack of medicinal powder from the drawer: "Tomorrow, take this medicine for a quarter of an hour before dinner, and you will not be drunk after a thousand cups!" Huang Farong took it and opened it to see that it was yellow powder. She frowned and said, "This won't hurt your body, right? Farong still wants to carry on the family of 'Mu Zilian'!" Grandfather shook his head: "Of course not. Grandpa, I must take this medicine whenever I have a big meal. Otherwise, how can I deal with those Kuomintang politicians and gangsters? This medicine was obtained by Master Zhang Dancheng from Lord Belle of the Qing Palace. It is a secret method of the palace. Flower preparation, liver protection and hangover!" Huang Farong blinked her big eyes and said, "Could it be the rumors in the world that 'a thousand cups are not drunk'?" Grandpa nodded. Huang Farong laughed, and suddenly she said to Grandpa: "Grandpa's game is clever, but it's not safe enough. I have a plan, which is more secure!" The grandfather was taken aback for a moment, then turned sideways, Huang Farong leaned over and explained softly, the grandfather kept nodding.
