Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Love between Human and Ghost

The conversation was divided into two parts, but it was said that Zhang Xianfan bid farewell to Jiang Xinghe and rode to the "Wangxiang Inn" in Jingzhou, and it happened that Luo Guo'ao, who had come before him, was here waiting for him.Zhang Xianfan handed the horse to the shopkeeper and asked Luo Guoai, "Have you found where Tan Xiaoku is staying?" Luo Guo'ao said he found it, and led Zhang Xianfan to Tan Xiaoku's residence.At that time, Tan Xiaoku had already gone to Huanggou'ao to visit his father's grave, and Zhu Zixiang was the only one at home.The two were about to avoid it when Zhu Zixiang discovered it.Zhang Xianfan had no choice but to bite the bullet and meet him, and said many good things about Jiang Xinghe, and persuaded Zhu Zixiang to return to Duliang to live.Unexpectedly, Zhu Zixiang readily agreed, which made Zhang Xianfan calm down, and understood that persuading him to return to Duliang was tantamount to persuading a tiger to return to its cage.This made him make up his mind to pin his hopes on Tan Xiaoku.

Although Zhang Xianfan didn't know where Tan Xiaoku had gone, he estimated that he would be back soon, so he resigned from Zhu Zixiang and hid in the nearby bushes.After a while, Tan Xiaoku really came back, and what surprised him even more was that Zhu Zixiang left shortly after Tan Xiaoku came back.Zhang Xianfan whispered that Luo Guo'ai was so and so.After a while, Luo Guo'ao came back and reported: "I said it according to what you said, this guy is really tempted, and his tone seems to have two concerns." "Which two concerns?" "One is that we are afraid that we will deceive him, and the other is that Zhu Zixiang will find out. The first concern is that I assured him that Boss Jiang will pay a deposit of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan first. He is a little tempted. It seems that the key is the second concern."

When Zhang Xianfan heard it, he was convinced, and said, "I also expected that the key point would be Zhu Zixiang. We have been exposed today. If I guessed correctly, Zhu Zixiang will secretly move out in the next two days." Luo Guo'ao was surprised and said, "Where can we find him after he moved away? There's nothing else, I'm just afraid that it won't be easy to explain to Boss Jiang when he goes back." Zhang Xianfan thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's take a step at a time." Early the next morning, Zhang Xianfan and Luo Guo'ao came to Zhu Zixiang's residence. As expected, the house was empty, and there was a sign saying "This house is for sale" on the porch.Now that Luo Guo was in a hurry, Zhang Xianfan comforted him, "You'll be fine, but Boss Jiang can put the blame on me."

"Then where are you going?" "I'll go back to Duliang with you. If you need something, you can come to Yudai Bridge Inn to find me. If Boss Jiang asks, just say that I'm still looking for Zhu Zixiang in Jingzhou." On the thirteenth day of the third lunar month, Zhang Xianfan and Luo Guo'ao returned to Duliang together.Luo Guo'ao went to Jiang Xinghe's compound to report to Jiang Xinghe, while Zhang Xianfan went to the Yudai Bridge Inn, tied up his horse, took a bath, and knocked on the door next door.Bill, who lived next door, saw Zhang Xianfan and was taken aback: "Mr. Zhang, how do you know that I live here?"

Zhang Xianfan came in uninvited: "Not only do I know that you live here, but I also know that the "Picture of Happy Seasons" promised by Boss Jiang has never been delivered." Bill sighed: "Boss Jiang really doesn't know what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd. The ancient painting he promised me last year has not been fulfilled yet, so I often run here. It seems that Duliang has become my home. gone." "Mr. Bill is really so interested in Tang Yin's paintings?" "I'm not interested, why am I still here?" "Boss Jiang, what did he tell you?"

"Every time I come here, I say it's fast, but I just don't see the real thing." "Actually, Mr. Bill doesn't need to go to Duliang often. Boss Jiang will take the initiative to find you when he has the goods." "This product is in high demand. I'm not the only one who wants it." "Who else? Can you tell me?" Bill looked at Zhang Xianfan, then shook his head slyly: "Unfortunately, it's impossible for me to hand over my opponent to you—it's very bad for me." Zhang Xianfan said with a smile: "Mr. Bill is very smart - just based on this, I will make you a friend. If I also have antiques sometime, I will definitely do business with you."

Bill smiled: "If it is Mr. Zhang's own antique, I will definitely buy it at a high price!" "Okay, it's a deal!" Zhang Xianfan and Bill clapped their hands together. On the night of Zhang Xianfan's return, Luo Guo'ao came to the Yudai Bridge Inn, and said, "I told Boss Jiang exactly what you wanted, and he didn't ask too much. Maybe something happened to his family and he was in a bad mood." There are relationships." "What happened to his family?" "I also heard from the servants of Jiang's family behind the scenes, it seems that the young lady got a strange disease and died suddenly without warning, and she would wake up again after a while, as if nothing happened. "

Zhang Xianfan nodded: "I also heard that Miss was ill, but I didn't know that this illness was really weird, so it's hard for them to keep it a secret." "Boss Jiang is most concerned about Miss's marriage now. He seems to want to reconcile with Xiao's family, but it is inconvenient to open his mouth. This time, the property he bought from Xiao's family is said to be Miss's dowry." Zhang Xianfan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Short old man, this is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. If you accomplish this great deed, both the Jiang family and the Xiao family will thank you!"

"It's my turn to do this kind of merit. A man named Xiao Jinping has already told Boss Jiang about the Xiao family's every move. It is said that Xiao Peng already has this intention, but he can't make the decision. He has to wait until Xiao Ziru comes from Only when we come back from Yunnan can we settle the matter." Zhang Xianfan scolded: "This Xiao Jinping, actually crossed the river and demolished the bridge and dumped me! Short man, you don't want to be such a person!" Luo Guo'ao said: "It's not a gentleman to know kindness and not repay it. I will be infamous forever. I will definitely not be such a person. Is there any clue about Zhu Zixiang's matter?"

Zhang Xianfan shook his head: "How can it be so fast, I just came back, but I will be able to find him in three to five days sooner, or ten and a half months later." Luo Guo'ao looked at Zhang Xianfan enviously: "If this matter is done by you, I think you are really almost like a god!" Zhang Xianfan proudly said: "Then just wait and see!" Five days later, Luo Guo'ao came to Zhang Xianfan on time at night: "Is there any news?" "Yes, yes, come with me." Zhang Xianfan then led Luo Guo'ao to the Tiyun Bridge, quietly pointed to the two fishermen on the bamboo raft under the bridge and said, "This is them."

Luo Guo'ai opened his eyes wide and couldn't see clearly, so he said, "Why do you dare to say that you are their master and apprentice?" Zhang Xianfan said: "I don't need to explain too much, if you don't believe me, you can go down to the river to see." "Isn't that scaring the snake? No way!" "If you don't want to verify your identity, I can't help it. Then wait for a chance and I will let you recognize them." A few days later, in the middle of the night, Zhang Xianfan brought Luo Guo'ao to a cemetery, pointed at two figures not far away who were wielding shovels and whispered, "Do you see clearly?" Under the moonlight, Luo Guo'ao finally saw clearly this time—it really was Zhu Zixiang's master and apprentice!Luo Guo'ao followed Zhang Xianfan back from the cemetery, admiring all the way: "You are a real god, I will be your apprentice in this life." Zhang Xianfan said: "There are no gods in the world. I just have a long-term mind. Zhu Zixiang's mission is to protect the tomb. He will definitely not go too far. He may return to Duliang. Since returning to Duliang, in order to survive , I have to go back to my old business. Tomb robbers can’t do without information, and they can’t come out during the day. In this way, a fool can guess that they will go to Tiyun Bridge at night. As soon as I went, I found out the secret of the bamboo raft , and pay more attention, and finally found out that they live in Wang Xinzu's house." Luo Guoai said: "You have found the person, what are you going to do next?" Zhang Xianfan said: "Find a chance and kill Zhu Zixiang!" Luo Guo'ao was taken aback: "Is this okay?" Zhang Xianfan said: "If this obstacle is not removed, Tan Xiaoku will not dare to work for Boss Jiang. Don't worry, with Boss Jiang's backing, killing Zhu Zixiang is like crushing an ant." Luo Guo'ao said: "That's the only way to do it. Shall we do it tonight?" "You can do it at any time, but there is one thing - we can't let Tan Xiaoku know that we killed his master." Luo Guoai said: "This is difficult, they have always been inseparable." Zhang Xianfan said: "Let's wait for the opportunity, there will always be times when they will not be together." But time flies, Zhang Xianfan returned to Duliang for more than two months, and the assassination of Zhu Zixiang has not progressed - the reason is just like Luo Guo'ao said, his master and apprentice are always inseparable.That evening, after Zhang Xianfan had dinner and took a shower, he was about to go to the Tiyun Bridge to have a look. Just as he was about to go out, Luo Guoxiao hurried over: "Important news, Miss Jiang has not woken up since she died in the middle of the night yesterday. Her body became cold, and after being examined by several doctors, they agreed that she had been dead for a long time, so they sent someone to bury her." "When was it buried, and on which graveyard?" Zhang Xianfan asked. "When I came to your place, Li Shiyan brought the workers to carry the coffin and just left. The place of burial is Maoershan." Zhang Xianfan said: "Don't go back tonight, follow me to Maoer Mountain!" Zhang Xianfan then found the machete used for murder, the butcher knife used for dismemberment, the sack used for holding the corpse, and the hemp rope used for binding, and took Luo Guo'ao to choose a secluded and dark detour to Mao'er Mountain. It wasn't until the two of them arrived at Mao'er Mountain that Luo Guo'ai was a veteran tomb robber. Knowing that it was still early, they quickly found Jiang Yuying's new grave, and then hid behind a nearby grave. After waiting for less than half an hour, he saw two black shadows appearing like ghosts on Maoer Mountain... Luo Guoai recognized them from their appearance as Zhu Zixiang and Tan Xiaoku. Zhang Xianfan and Luo Guo'ao discussed it. If there is no result on the tomb this time, Zhu Zixiang will follow them after they go back after stealing the tomb. Dead pig, if you strangle Zhu Zixiang to death with a rope and throw him into Nanshui River, things will be done neatly... Zhu Zixiang and Tan Xiaoku found Jiang Yuying's grave and set to work. Within two hours, they all went down to the robber's cave.Zhang Xianfan got up and went to the pit to look around, and saw candles burning in the pit.Is the coffin opened?Zhang Xianfan accidentally kicked a clod of dirt, and the clod rolled down the pit...and hit the person under the pit, and the candle in the pit was blown out. Zhang Xianfan realized that Zhu Zixiang had noticed something, and quickly retreated to the original place to hide. Sure enough, someone climbed up from the pit soon, and searched everywhere... After a while, a black shadow suddenly flew out of the pit, accompanied by a terrified scream... Luo Guo'ao heard that the scream came from Zhu Zixiang's mouth.Later, a woman's groan was heard, and then Zhu Zixiang yelled "there is a living ghost", and then ran for his life... Zhang Xianfan and Luo Guo'ao waited patiently for a while, but they found a shocking scene - Jiang Yuying was still alive!Zhang Xianfan couldn't hold back anymore, he wanted Luo Guo'ao to keep an eye on this - he was going to do something important... But he said that Zhang Xianfan returned to Jiang's compound as if he had left Mao'ershan, and asked to open the door, claiming that he had something urgent to report to Boss Jiang.The watchman who opened the door was afraid of affecting the owner's rest, so he refused to report.Zhang Xianfan was relentless, it happened that Jiang Xinghe couldn't sleep because of the grief of losing his daughter, so he could hear the disputes in the courtyard clearly.He got up from the bed and ordered the watchman to lead Zhang Xianfan to the living room to wait. Zhang Xianfan came to the living room to sit down, the watchman lit up the gas lamp, and after a while Jiang Xinghe came over fully dressed.Zhang Xianfan got up: "Boss Jiang, there is a big thing to tell you about the late night interruption - the first one, during this period of time, I worked hard from morning to night and traveled around, and today finally paid off - I found Zhu Zixiang and the others; Before I say the second thing, I want to ask a small question - does Boss Jiang believe that there are ghosts in this world?" Jiang Xinghe didn't understand why Zhang Xianfan asked such a strange question, but he answered truthfully: "There are no ghosts in the world, but there are ghosts in people's hearts. If you don't believe in ghosts, there are no ghosts. I never believe in ghosts." "Very well, if a person who is already dead, if one day you run into him on the street again, what do you think?" "It's impossible. If it is, it's really a ghost." "What if there is such a thing?" "That is, this person is not dead, or for some reason the news was wrong." "Do you believe that people who have just died are immediately dug up and come back to life?" Jiang Xinghe realized what Zhang Xianfan was going to say, and asked back, "What do you mean by asking?" "I said this to remind Boss Jiang to be mentally prepared—Miss has come back to life!" Although Zhang Xianfan has made a lot of foreshadowing, Jiang Xinghe still can't believe that this will be true—a person who is dead and buried can still come back to life... After all, Jiang Xinghe is a person who has gone through storms and has some knowledge. After calming down, he said, "This incident sounds too abrupt at first, but tell me the whole story slowly, so that I have a reason to agree." Zhang Xianfan recounted the process of going to Maoershan tonight in detail, and then said: "This kind of thing is actually not surprising. Many people are 'fake death', but most of them have no chance to come back to life after being buried. Only Ms. Yuying has great fortune and fate, and the Bodhisattva sent Zhu Zixiang and Tan Xiaoku to rescue her." Jiang Xinghe finally turned the corner and sighed: "It is indeed a blessing to find it again, let alone my daughter, but she has already died once, and I am afraid it will be difficult for this society to accept." "I've already thought about this matter for Miss—let her marry Mr. Xiao as soon as possible, send her a dowry, and let them fly away to live in a place where no one knows." Jiang Xinghe nodded: "This method is worth considering, but will Mr. Xiao accept it?" Zhang Xianfan asked: "Does the Xiao family know about Miss's burial?" Jiang Xinghe said: "There's no reason why he didn't know, he even sent wreaths and elegiac couplets as his prospective son-in-law. Even if he doesn't know for a while, he can hide it for a while, but he can't hide it forever." "In my opinion, the problem is not too big. Now that the Xiao family is in decline, marrying Miss is a chance to revitalize. Besides, as long as Mr. Xiao really likes Miss, he won't care about these things. He has read books and knows " "Liao Zhai" contains a lot of love stories between humans and ghosts." "The story is one thing, but the reality is another. I hope it can be as you imagined. Where is my Yuying now?" "I've arranged for Luo Guo'ao to watch her—and I forgot to tell Boss Jiang that Tan Xiaoku is very interesting to your lady. After Zhu Zixiang scared away, he stayed to comfort the lady. I really like it, it’s impossible to do that.” Jiang Xinghe said: "I see, you can do it quickly. Ying'er has never suffered since she was a child, so she has to come back soon." Zhang Xianfan said: "Miss can't come back for the time being, you have to say hello to the people in the yard first, so that they are mentally prepared to accept." Jiang Xinghe nodded: "You still think thoughtfully, what are your plans for Zhu Zixiang and Tan Xiaoku?" Zhang Xianfan said: "This is the most important thing I want to discuss with you. As early as two months ago, I found out that Tan Xiaoku had the intention of cooperating in Jingzhou. It's just because I have Zhu Zixiang by my side that I don't want to." Dare to make mistakes. I think the best way is to kill Zhu Zixiang, so that Tan Xiaoku will eliminate all worries." Jiang Xinghe said: "You can handle this kind of thing yourself, but there is one thing that must not cause trouble." "I know, it's because I'm afraid of causing trouble that I haven't done anything." Seeing that Zhang Xianfan still didn't want to leave, Jiang Xinghe said, "Do you need anything else?" Zhang Xianfan said: "I need a boat, and I hope I can get there soon under the Tiyun Bridge." Jiang Xinghe said: "It's easy, I'll send someone to do it right away." Zhang Xianfan left Jiang's house and came to Tiyun Bridge. Under the starlight, he saw a short man standing on the bridge. Zhang Xianfan coughed dryly, and the short man responded with a dry cough—it really was Luo Guo'ai. "Short man, how is the situation on your side?" Luo Guo'ao said: "Miss Jiang has been taken back to Wang Xinzu's house by Tan Xiaoku." Zhang Xianfan said: "This is the best, the boat will arrive soon, let's go and have a look." The two came under the bridge, and after a while, a black-covered boat came up upstream, and the boatman standing on the boat pulled the boat to the shore. After getting on the boat, Zhang Xianfan and Luo Guo'ao pointed to the front and said, "No. 17, Banbian Street." The boatman propped the boat to the other side, and then he said: "I don't know where the 17th is, you can figure it out yourself." After speaking, he put the boat down slowly. Zhang Xianfan didn't know where No. 17 was, and bamboo rafts were tied to the stilted buildings of every household on this half of the street, which made it more difficult to identify.When he was in trouble, he saw a house with lights on, Zhang Xianfan said: "This is the only house, short man, go up and have a look." The boatman stopped the boat, and Luo Guoao crept up the stilted building, and came down in a hurry... Before Zhang Xianfan could ask what was going on, he heard heavy footsteps on the floor above, and then someone threw a large object on it Come down——After the sound of "plop", a huge wave splashed on the water surface and lifted the awning boat to a high level... Finally everything returned to calm, Luo Guo'ao whispered to Zhang Xianfan: "Zhu Zixiang was frightened to death by the miss, and it was his body that was thrown down just now!" "God help me too!" Zhang Xianfan couldn't restrain his excitement, "We'll just wait here, don't disturb Miss, Tan Xiaoku will definitely come down at dawn, and then we will act again." Luo Guo'ao understood what Zhang Xianfan meant, so the two got into the tent to sleep, and told the boatman to notify in time if anyone came down from upstairs. Zhang Xianfan was soundly asleep when he was woken up by the boatman. When he opened his eyes, it was already dawn. He poked his head out of the tent and saw Tan Xiaoku wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat untying the rope on the bamboo raft... Zhang Xianfan woke up Luo Guo'ai next to him gave such and such orders. Tan Xiaoku paddled the bamboo raft and walked several zhang away. Zhang Xianfan came out from the tent and climbed up the stilted building. He turned his head and saw the boatman chasing Tan Xiaoku's bamboo raft with a boat. Then he entered Wang Xinzu with confidence. in the room.He coughed dryly and saw that there was no movement in the room before he saw a woman sleeping in the tent.Although Zhang Xianfan is a hungry ghost, the boss's daughter would never dare to have evil thoughts.In order to let her wake up earlier, he deliberately opened the gate facing the street, and kicked here and there on purpose.This quarrel really woke Jiang Yuying up, she called out in the tent: "Xiaoku, you came back from my house? Will my father accept me?" It was only then that Zhang Xianfan realized that Tan Xiaoku was going out this time to persuade Jiang Xinghe, and he secretly felt complacent: You are late, I have already won the credit for this.But he promised Jiang Yuying in his mouth: "Miss, Boss Jiang is willing to accept you. He is very happy and specially sent me to pick you up." Jiang Yuying got up from the bed and recognized Zhang Xianfan: "So it was you, where did Tan Xiaoku go?" Zhang Xianfan lied casually: "He has something to do, I told you not to wait for him, just follow me home." "Won't I scare them if I go home like this?" Jiang Yuying was full of worries. "No, your father has already told them that it's too late for everyone to be happy, and they all want to see Miss soon." Jiang Yuying no longer had doubts, so she followed Zhang Xianfan out.When I arrived at Tiyun Bridge, I heard passers-by talking about the story of "Jiang Xing and his daughter came back from the dead".The Zhige Pavilion was full of people talking about it, making Jiang Yuying so ashamed that she wished she could find a gap to sneak in—fortunately, she seldom went out, and no passer-by knew her. Jiang Yuying managed to get home, and as Zhang Xianfan said, the servants treated her as usual, and they didn't show any dislike for her.Jiang Xinghe, who came over after hearing the news, saw his daughter, and even held her in his arms, crying "heart" from the left and "baby" from the right, and the father and daughter cried loudly with their heads in their arms. Then someone came to report that the old butler of the Xiao Mansion had come to visit.Jiang Xinghe ordered his servants to take his daughter to change clothes and take a bath, then went to the living room of the main house to wait for Xiao Zhong and others.Zhang Xianfan understood that he came for Xiao Peng's marriage, so he stayed by Jiang Xinghe's side. After Jiang Xinghe and Zhang Xianfan waited in the living room for a while, Xiao Zhong walked in with a big smile on his face and didn't sit down.Sure enough, Xiao Zhong said: "Boss Jiang, I am thanking you on behalf of the big boss. Thank you for lending us a house to live in for so long. Now my family's property in Yunnan has been packed, and the young master has booked today's boat. We are about to leave for Yunnan... The house is being cleaned, and if there is any damage, the compensation should still be paid." Zhang Xianfan already understood Xiao Zhong's implication, so he deliberately said: "Why doesn't the old housekeeper sit down and talk?" Xiao Zhong was already blushing, and his tone was extremely nervous: "Many, thank you, the young master is waiting for me to pack my things. Boss Jiang is leaving now." After Xiao Zhong left, Zhang Xianfan noticed that Jiang Xinghe's face was pale, and said: "Boss Jiang, don't be angry about this matter, they don't want a lady, so she won't marry that worthless Xiao Peng." Before Zhang Xianfan finished speaking, Jiang Yuying came over with a sad face: "Father, Xiao Zhong came here just now, is it because his family doesn't want me?" Jiang Xinghe pretended to be relaxed: "It's nothing, just change clothes and take a shower!" "Daddy, don't lie to me. I won't take it to heart. It's better this way. You can know that the surname Xiao doesn't actually love me. A foreigner said that marriage without love is immoral. Now it's a new society. They are all advocating for freedom of marriage and equality between men and women.” Jiang Xinghe followed his daughter's lead, finally persuaded her to leave, and then asked Zhang Xianfan, "When will there be any news from Tan Xiaoku?" Zhang Xianfan glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "It will be soon." After a while, Luo Guo'ao came back, and he looked at Zhang Xianfan and Jiang Xinghe, feeling at a loss as to who to talk to.Zhang Xianfan understood what he was thinking and said, "Don't report to Boss Jiang if there is anything wrong!" Then Luo Guo'ao turned to Jiang Xinghe and said, "I took Tan Xiaoku to the Yudai Bridge Inn according to Brother Xianfan's arrangement. This kid thought we were going to kill him, so he was looking for death and life, and said that he would only die if he saw Boss Jiang. , After I explained the meaning to him, I calmed down." Jiang Xinghe said, "What did you explain to him?" Luo Guo'ao said: "Brother Xianfan means to ask him to take us to dig Zhu Qifeng's tomb, saying that Boss Jiang is willing to give him a huge sum of money." "Did he agree?" "He didn't say he agreed or disagreed. He just put forward a condition to see Boss Jiang." Jiang Xinghe said, "You can bring him to see me." Luo Guo'ao said: "I have already brought him, and he is already outside the gate. Boss Jiang is willing to see him, so I will ask him to come in immediately." After Luo Guo'ao went out for a while, he brought Tan Xiaoku with him. Tan Xiaoku looked at this and then that, and his hesitant expression reminded Zhang Xianfan.Zhang Xianfan said: "You can rest assured about Ms. Jiang's matter. She has returned, and the family is very happy. They still treat her as before. Your master is dead, so there shouldn't be any worries. If you have any requests, You can boldly raise it to Boss Jiang." Jiang Xinghe nodded to Tan Xiaoku with a smile: "It's okay, you can let go of your courage and make a request." Luo Guo'ao said: "Have you heard, as long as you open the golden mouth, you can bid farewell to the career of tomb robbers and enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory!" Tan Xiaoku originally came here for Jiang Yuying's matter, and someone had already done it for him. He didn't have time to think about the conditions, so he said: "My master's bones are not cold. I will betray him by doing this. Morally, I'm afraid make life difficult for." Zhang Xianfan said: "It's just that you refuse to say that Zhu Qifeng's tomb will be dug up sooner or later. At worst, explosives will be used to open it up, causing your master's ancestors to suffer more damage. In this way, can you live morally?" After all, Tan Xiaoku was young, and Zhang Xianfan was speechless in a few words: "This... I didn't cause this anyway." "Of course you caused it. If you are willing to lead us into the tomb, Zhu Qifeng's body will be unscathed except to take away the belongings. If you don't want to do it, of course you can only use explosives-don't you dare deny that you didn't cause it? " At this time, Tan Xiaoku didn't know that Zhang Xianfan intended to deceive him, and if he knew that they didn't know the tomb site, he wouldn't be fooled so quickly."I'll have to think about it again," he said. Luo Guoai said: "What else are you thinking about? Whether you are willing to cooperate or not, Boss Jiang has dug this grave! Don't think that Boss Jiang is easy to talk to. If it's me, I won't be bothered to talk to you!" Tan Xiaoku couldn't stand their hard and soft actions, and finally wavered: "I, I am willing." All three breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Xinghe leaned forward and asked, "How much do you want?" Tan Xiaoku said, "I don't want money." Jiang Xinghe, Zhang Xianfan, and Luo Guoao looked at each other in blank dismay.Zhang Xianfan asked: "What do you mean? Have you never heard of the saying 'man dies for wealth, bird dies for food'?" Tan Xiaoku said: "I've heard this saying, but what I believe is 'if you don't bring money with you, you won't take it with you when you die'. When I say no money, I don't mean that I don't want anything." Jiang Xinghe sighed and said, "What do you want?" Tan Xiaoku said: "If possible, I want Miss Jiang Yuying." These words surprised all three people, and Zhang Xianfan was the first to wake up: "Tan Xiaoku, you have such a big appetite, saying that you don't want money is more than asking for money! Seeing how honest you are, I didn't expect that He is an insatiable person!" Tan Xiaoku said: "I have already said it beforehand—'if possible' is my premise. To put it more bluntly, it means that if Ms. Jiang Yuying is willing." Jiang Xinghe also reacted, and asked, "What if she doesn't want to?" "If she doesn't want to, of course I won't force it. I won't take a penny to take you to the tomb to get the treasure." Jiang Xinghe was puzzled: "Why did you do this?" Tan Xiaoku said: "I can't tell why. If I have to get to the bottom of it, it might be because you are Jiang Yuying's father. Other than that, I can't find any reason." Jiang Xinghe asked: "You really like my daughter so much?" Tan Xiaoku said frankly: "Yes, from the first time I saw her, I liked her - this kind of liking is not because I have to marry her as a wife or something, because it is impossible, she is Miss Qianjin , I am an orphan without food and clothing. People need spiritual sustenance, and she is my spiritual support. For her, I am willing to give everything. As for the reward, I don’t even think about it.” Jiang Xinghe nodded: "It's rare that you are infatuated with her. I'll go and ask her. If she is willing, I will never stop her." "Father, I am willing!" At some time, Jiang Yuying, who had already bathed and changed clothes, came to the living room, her words immediately surprised everyone present.Jiang Yuying was afraid that her father would repeat, so she said, "Father, you must mean what you say, and you must not break your word. You are a businessman, and a businessman's purpose is to emphasize credit." Zhang Xianfan's mood at this time was very complicated, but the saddest thing was that he didn't want to "put a flower on the cow dung", so he said: "Miss, you have to think clearly, you are the body of a daughter, and he is a ninth-class tomb robber." Thieves—your identities don't match up." Jiang Yuying said: "If we talk about identity, it should be that I am not worthy of Xiaoku. He is a human and I am a ghost. He does not dislike my identity as a ghost because he respects me. If anyone opposes my relationship with Xiaoku, he is jealous of our true love. , if my parents don’t agree, I can only show my ambition with death.” Jiang Xinghe said: "I respect your choice and will never make things difficult for you." Jiang Yuying said emotionally: "Thank you, Dad. My daughter knows that you really love me in this world. I am really happy and satisfied. Two men treat me so well." Tan Xiaoku looked at Jiang Yuying affectionately, and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you with the love of my life, and won't let you suffer any grievances." Jiang Yuying nodded: "I believe." Although Zhang Xianfan and Luo Guo'ao next to him felt very uncomfortable, Jiang Xinghe had already expressed his attitude and dared not say anything more. Tan Xiaoku turned to Jiang Xinghe and said, "Now I don't have any worries anymore. Whenever I go to get treasure from King Zhu's tomb, I can take you in at any time." Jiang Xinghe said: "I will entrust Zhang Xianfan with full power to handle this matter, and you all follow his arrangements for relevant matters." Zhang Xianfan said: "Thank you Boss Jiang for your trust, I will do my best. But there are two things that must be done before taking the treasure. One is to ask He Banxian to check an auspicious day, and the other is that there are more vicious dogs in Tanjia Village. It barks a lot at night, so get rid of the dog before you do anything."
