Chapter 251: People are Outstanding and the Land is Spiritual, Heaven Punishes and Earth Penalizes

Wealth should not be exposed. If the funeral master in front of him kept his mouth shut and didn't talk about setting up a storefront in the county, he wouldn't be targeted by Lai Yong. It's a pity that he spent his whole life performing cliff burials for others, but in the end, he couldn't even afford to handle his own funeral. He could only wander at home, begging guests from afar to solve his worries after death.

Xu Qing rarely met such a dedicated peer. After carefully cleaning and transcending the corpse, the ghost shadow that had been wandering in the mourning hall disappeared.

At this time, the two bowls of tea sent by the host family had already cooled down. Looking at the whole mourning hall, apart from Xu Qing and Xuanyu, where was there any shadow of other funeral masters?

"Mr. Xu, this is one tael of broken silver. It's not much, but please accept it, sir."

Looking at the miserable appearance of the family in front of him, how could Xu Qing not know the importance of this tael of silver to them?

The only pillar of the family "fell to his death," and all the savings he carried with him were lost. In such a difficult situation, the tael of silver gathered together is far heavier than a normal tael of silver.

Xu Qing had the heart to promote his credit funeral business, but people didn't believe in this set at all!

"I've heard of credit for grain and rent, but never heard of credit for funerals. Although my family is not rich, we won't take advantage of the master in this matter. That's not according to the rules."

"If you don't accept this money, my son would rather not be buried!"

"..."

This is really fatherly kindness and sonly piety. Fortunately, Xu Qing transcended him early. If Mr. Lu in the coffin heard this, wouldn't he cry and make a scene again!

He buried people all his life, and his only obsession after death was that he could also experience a cliff burial. As a result, his father was good, but he became tough when he shouldn't have been tough!

Xu Qing finally accepted the silver.

The old man found an ox cart, and the whole family, old and young, wore hemp and filial piety, supporting the coffin and walking all the way to the north cliff.

The North Cliff is the highest cliff in the ten-mile village. The locals pay attention to "the higher the filial piety," the higher the hanging coffin, the better the meaning, and the descendants will become more and more prominent.

The old man seemed to value these things very much. Xu Qing only found out after asking that the old man was also a "Spider-Man" when he was young, and when his father died, the place where he was buried was still the second highest position on the North Cliff.

If compared with earth burial, it is a secondary auspicious cave like the Green Dragon and White Tiger.

But burying so high doesn't seem to have the effect of making descendants prominent.

The ox cart moved slowly. Xuanyu wore black clothes and a black skirt, sitting in front of the coffin. Xu Qing, like the Lu family, scattered paper money all the way, doing some rough and tiring work.

A black cat pressing on the coffin, only Xu Qing dares to do this. If it were someone else, the corpse in the coffin at this time would probably jump out to have some fun!

"Old man Lu, where are you going?"

When the group arrived in the village, before they left the village, they met someone who stopped the ox cart.

Old man Lu looked at the person in front of him and had some impression. It was Lai Yong who had asked his family to do things before.

"Going to send my Chunsheng on his last journey." Old man Lu could not hide his grief in his words.

"Old man Lu, wait a moment!" Lai Yong raised his eyebrows, blocked the ox cart, and said in front of the villagers: "Chunsheng owed me ten taels of silver earlier. Although Chunsheng is gone, this money still has to be paid back!"

Seeing Old man Lu staring wide-eyed, as if about to ask, Lai Yong followed up:

"Whose family is not living a life? Old man, don't feel awkward in your heart. If I don't mention this today, I'm afraid it won't be easy to get the money back after Chunsheng's business is finished. You have to understand."

In front of the ox cart, Xu Qing's eyes fell on Lai Yong, who had a large mole on the corner of his eye. This person had a pockmarked face, short hands and a thick body. Every time he spoke, the eye with the mole blinked non-stop, as if he had epilepsy.

This face didn't look like a good bird at first glance. I don't know how Lu Chunsheng dared to go to the cliff with this person.

Old man Lu heard this and felt suspicious: "My son has never liked to owe others, let alone ten taels of silver. Are you not remembering it wrong?"

"You said that, would I, Lai Yong, cheat a dead person's money? If you don't think it's unlucky, I think it's unlucky!"

Villagers who couldn't stand Lai Yong spoke up: "Old man, don't believe his nonsense. This person surnamed Lai goes to the gambling house all day long. As soon as he has money, he goes to the county, and when he has no money, he runs back to the village to avoid debt. He must be bluffing you, wanting to cheat gambling money."

"Fuck your mother's dog fart! People say that owing debt and paying money is justified. His family owes me money, what does it have to do with whether I gamble or not?"

"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will go to your house and let you pay back these ten taels!"

Lai Yong cursed. Seeing that Old man Lu wanted to take the opportunity to drive the ox cart away, he walked two steps to block the road, refusing to let the coffin pass.

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes. When Old man Lu intended to step forward to deal with it, he reached out to stop the other party and said: "It is inevitable to encounter some demons and ghosts when sending a funeral. There is no need to trouble the old man with these things. Let me talk to him."

"You are the one called Lai Yong?"

"You are?" Looking at Xu Qing's professional funeral clothes, Lai Yong realized: "You are the funeral master invited by the Lu family."

"Old man Lu, you have money to invite people to send the funeral, why don't you have money to pay back the account? Today I will put the words here, if you don't pay back the silver, you won't be able to send the funeral!"

No matter when or where, there are such rascals. Xu Qing ignored the other party's pestering and just silently took out a tael of broken silver from his sleeve and said:

"I have a tael of broken silver here, which is the reward for my funeral trip. You are good at gambling, so why don't we gamble once? If you win, this tael of silver belongs to you, and I will still send the funeral for people."

"But if you lose, you have to tell the truth. Is it that the Lu family owes you silver, or did you do something wrong, murder for money, kill Lu Chunsheng, and rob the Lu family's silver."

As soon as Xu Qing's voice fell, everyone was in an uproar.

Lai Yong was terrified. He did the killing of Lu Chunsheng very secretly. Lu Chunsheng was a corpse-carrier who often wandered between steep cliffs. No one would suspect that he was pushed off the cliff if he fell. How did the funeral master in front of him seem to know all the inside story?

"Who wants to gamble with you? Whether Lu Chunsheng is dead or alive, what does it have to do with me? I think you want to help the Lu family avoid these ten taels of silver and deliberately pit me here!"

Xu Qing held the silver and raised his hand, saying unhurriedly: "I'm just making an analogy, what are you in a hurry for? If you really have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to gamble with me."

"But I have a principle, that is, willing to gamble and willing to lose. Whoever loses, does not fulfill the promise, hides the bet, or tells a lie, must suffer heavenly condemnation and die on the spot!"

"Do you dare to gamble? If you don't dare to gamble, then get out of the way and don't delay my funeral shop from sending the funeral."

Lai Yong stared at the tael of silver in Xu Qing's hand, and then looked at the villagers watching the show around him. He knew that if he didn't dare to agree at this time, it would prove that he was guilty and that what the other party said was true.

But Lai Yong, who was addicted to gambling, didn't know why he always had a strong sense of unease in his heart. Although the young man in front of him looked harmless, when he spoke, he always had a feeling of talking to a dead person, which made him feel creepy involuntarily.

"Are you very good at gambling?"

Lai Yong asked.

"I never gamble with living people. Today might be the first time, you should feel honored."

"..."

Lai Yong stared at Xu Qing, but his feet couldn't help but step back.

"It seems you killed Lu Chunsheng."

Xu Qing smiled. The psychological quality of the rascal in front of him was still not good enough.

Now not only Xu Qing, but the people around also believed it three points.

One gambles with real gold and silver, and the other only gambles on telling a truth. If it were really as Lai Yong said, Lu Chunsheng's death had nothing to do with him, then the curse of dying on the spot for telling a lie would not exist at all, but the other party didn't dare to gamble.

This is very intriguing.

"Old Lu, let's continue the journey."

Xu Qing chuckled, and the contempt and disdain made Lai Yong burn with anger.

If it was as Xu Qing said, he would have to tell the truth if he lost the bet. He had been in the gambling house for a long time, so he was afraid he wouldn't win the bet? Furthermore, even if he lost, would he really suffer heavenly condemnation if he didn't tell the truth?

Seeing that the funeral car was about to leave the street, Lai Yong shouted: "Wait! I'll gamble with you!"

"But you have to make it clear, what exactly are we gambling on?"

Xu Qing was happy when he heard this, and immediately stopped and turned around to look at Lai Yong: "Very simple, one tael of silver, one truth."

"You decide the gambling method. You have been in the gambling house for so long, so you should know more than me." ===== CHAPTER 252 =====
