"If the Feng Shui master you are talking about is the same person as the ferryman, then the one million is not enough. I want you to agree to one condition."
Tang Xue laughed, sat on Ma Xiaoling's bed, looked at her and said, "So you mean you can solve this problem?"
Ma Xiaoling looked straight at Tang Xue and said word by word, "As a ferryman of the underworld, if you interfere with the human world and kill people whose life span has not yet ended, according to the laws set by the King of Hell, if I remember correctly, you will never be reincarnated, right, Ferryman Zheng Wenjie?"
Zheng Wenjie raised his lips and looked at Ma Xiaoling who was looking at him straight, then nodded seriously and said, "That's right, the duty of the ferryman is to capture the ghosts that are stranded in the human world and that the soul-catching messenger cannot deal with and bring them back to the underworld. If they kill people, there will be different punishments according to the degree of harm."
"You are pointing at my master. It seems like you still want to continue to tangle with us. I advise you to think it over carefully." Tang Xue's eyes became a little unfriendly as she spoke: "You should be grateful that it was my young lady who avenged me, otherwise it would not be as simple as just cutting off a hand."
Ma Xiaoling shifted her gaze from Zheng Wenjie to Tang Xue's face and said indifferently, "If what I said caused you to misunderstand, then I can only say sorry. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I said these words just to show that if it was really Zhao Wenru, the ferryman, who killed someone whose life span had not yet ended, I can solve this matter and make him pay the price he deserves!"
"You still owe me 990,000!" Tang Xue said as she left Ma Xiaoling's bed and stood beside Zheng Wenjie, saying, "Give me the 990,000 tomorrow. The 10,000 that's deducted is the intelligence fee I'm paying you."
Zheng Wenjie looked at Tang Xue strangely: "What's wrong?"
"It's not worth it!" Tang Xue pointed at Ma Xiaoling with an exaggerated expression and said to Zheng Wenjie, "She wants one million and it's not enough. She also wants us to agree to one condition. God knows what she wants to do. Since you know who this Zhao Wenru is, just go find him. If it's not him, but they have the same name, then blame him for being unlucky to have this name. Let him check it out and it won't cost a penny."
Zheng Wenjie patted his forehead and asked speechlessly: "Is this how you usually do things? What did your young lady teach you?"
Tang Xue licked her lips and stared at Zheng Wenjie blankly, saying, "Miss is most afraid that I will cause trouble outside, so she keeps telling me off. Only you, no matter what you do, Miss never says anything about you, so I learned all this from you."
Zheng Wenjie was speechless. He glanced at Ma Xiaoling and He Youqiu and said helplessly, "We should be reasonable, but what you said just now is also right. Find Zhao Wenru and find out if they are the same person."
"If it's true, then it's simple. If it's not true, don't make it difficult for him. After all, he is still my colleague."
Tang Xue hummed and said confidently: "As for the ferryman, I once kidnapped a man named Zhao Li. It was very simple."
"That's because he's letting you go. Otherwise, you might not be able to beat her." Zheng Wenjie smiled, put his hand on Tang Xue's shoulder, and gently pushed her to leave.
"Wait!" Ma Xiaoling stopped Zheng Wenjie who was about to leave.
Ma Xiaoling looked at Kuang Tianyou and saw that he opened his eyes and looked at himself. He took a deep breath and looked up at Zheng Wenjie and said, "My request is very simple. I just want to know why you also have a dragon."
"The divine dragon on Gong Ruomei's body is the second divine dragon that our Ma family has known in thousands of years. How did you do it?"
Zheng Wenjie nodded, turned sideways to face Ma Xiaoling and said, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. The dragon's name is Ao Xia, and I have her dragon ball, so I found a way to control her dragon soul."
Ma Xiaoling responded decisively: "Okay, I'll take your order."
Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at Ma Xiaoling's expression and said, "It seems that my answer satisfies you."
Without waiting for Ma Xiaoling to reply, Zheng Wenjie continued, "Then let's go now."
"Now?" Ma Xiaoling was stunned. She didn't expect Zheng Wenjie to be so urgent.
"Of course, you have received all the compensation, so of course you have to start working." Zheng Wenjie said, looking at the plaster on Ma Xiaoling's left arm: "I think other than your hand, the rest of your body should be normal."
Ma Xiaoling's breath was choked. Under Zheng Wenjie's gaze, she moved her legs out from under the table, stepped awkwardly on the ground, and then raised her head and said, "I know. I'll check it out now. Is this okay?"
"Come together, I'll wait for you downstairs. I want to know what this guy named Zhao Wenru wants to do by burying seven people alive in my land." After Zheng Wenjie said this, he pulled Tang Xue out of the ward.
"I'm quite curious about this matter." Zheng Wenjie brought Tang Xue to the downstairs of the ward and said while looking at the sunny sky.
Tang Xue huddled behind Zheng Wenjie feeling a little uncomfortable. She instinctively hated the sunlight shining behind her and said casually, "If Ma Xiaoling can't solve the problem, I will also catch the ferryman. I have a feeling that he did it."
"I have lived in Hong Kong Island since I was a child. Although I have seldom gone out except in recent years, I know everything about Hong Kong Island, big and small, that is different from ordinary people."
“Especially since Shen Cihang joined, we have already dealt with most of them, except for this ferryman who came out of nowhere and might dare to go against us. We must teach him a lesson!”
Zheng Wenjie turned around and faced Tang Xue and said with a smile on his face: "Why do you become so...arrogant when I hear you talking now?"
Tang Xue looked up at Zheng Wenjie, sniffed, and approached Zheng Wenjie with a smile and said, "Because you and the young lady are here, I am not afraid of anyone now."
Zheng Wenjie patted her head and said unhappily: "That's because you were lucky and escaped. You must remember the lesson this time and protect yourself."
"I understand. From now on I will follow you or Miss every day. There will be no danger this way!" Tang Xue said with a smile.
Zheng Wenjie smiled and used his burly body to block the sunlight behind him as much as possible.
In the ward, after Zheng Wenjie and Tang Xue left, He Youqiu couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoling! If this matter is really related to the ferryman and we can't handle it well, we will be in trouble."
"Then handle it. If it is really the ferryman who killed someone, he will have to pay the price as long as the news spreads to the underworld. It will not affect the souls we are trying to save." Ma Xiaoling said thoughtfully.
He Youqiu sighed: "Since they didn't force us to solve this matter just now, why did they continue?"
"Of course I have to make money if there is one! Otherwise, I would have to take so many orders to make back the one million." Ma Xiaoling said as she got out of bed. Fortunately, she didn't change into a hospital gown, otherwise it would have been difficult to change clothes with this big plaster cast.
After moving her limbs, Ma Xiaoling groaned as she felt the pain in her arm, then looked at He Youqiu and said seriously: "And if it is related to the ferryman, I also want to test the underworld. Zheng Wenjie is a zombie and can suddenly become a ferryman. I want to know how he does that." "This is your purpose." The wrinkles on He Youqiu's face appeared again, and he also wanted to struggle to get up. He was helped by Kuang Tianyou to leave the bed.
"I'll go with you!" He Youqiu said as he quickly put on his cloth shoes.
Ma Xiaoling looked at He Youqiu with emotion but still shook her head and refused: "Uncle Qiu, don't worry about me. I will help them solve this matter, and they won't touch me."
"That's not what I'm worried about!" He Youqiu came to Ma Xiaoling with a limp and covering one arm, looked at her seriously and said, "I'm worried that if it's the ferryman who harmed someone, and you don't handle it cleanly and neatly, we can't afford the consequences!"
Kuang Tianyou asked curiously, "Uncle Qiu, didn't Ma Xiaoling just say that? Since the underworld has its own laws, why is the ferryman so worried if he has broken the law? What consequences can there be in the human world?"
He Youqiu turned around and looked at Kuang Tianyou, sighed and explained, "Every ferryman in the underworld was personally selected by the Hades Ah Cha. None of them are ordinary people. They were generals who fought on the battlefield or were high up in the government. Now they are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years."
"Do you really think that they will all follow the orders of Hades A-Cha and lead the soul-collecting messengers to capture the souls of the dead who are stranded in the human world?"
"That would be great." He Youqiu snorted coldly, glanced at Ma Xiaoling and said, "If the ferrymen weren't just sitting there doing nothing, Xiaoling would still have so many orders. Would she be able to buy a house and start a company with all the money she earned?"
"Hades gave them power and responsibility, but most of the ferrymen failed to fulfill their responsibilities. Not only that, the ferrymen are the largest force in the underworld besides Hades!"
"If you form cliques and offend the ferryman, you won't have a good reincarnation."
He Youqiu shook his head after he finished speaking, pointed at the plaster on his arm and said to Kuang Tianyou: "That's why I'm dragging this body. If we want to deal with the ferryman, we have to alert the Hades. Only by letting the Hades take action personally can we get rid of the ferryman without leaving any trouble."
"Uncle, please! I can take care of it. You should just stay in the hospital and recuperate. Didn't the doctor say you need to be observed for two days?"
He Youqiu shook his head and said seriously, "I have to go with you, so that I can feel at ease! Otherwise, if something goes wrong, the lonely ghosts we saved will not be at peace in the underworld, and even my reincarnation will not be at peace after I die."
Seeing He Youqiu's firm attitude, Ma Xiaoling no longer tried to stop him. She just looked at Kuang Tianyou, inexplicably hoping that Kuang Tianyou, the zombie, could go with them.
Although Kuang Tianyou is also a zombie, with He Youqiu's endorsement and the two days of getting along with each other, Ma Xiaoling also believes that Kuang Tianyou is really a good zombie.
Now both she and Uncle Qiu were injured, and they had to follow Zheng Wenjie to investigate. Although she was not worried that Zheng Wenjie would kill them, she would feel much more at ease if Kuang Tianyou, whom she could trust, was with them.
Noticing the hope in Ma Xiaoling's eyes, Kuang Tianyou took a step back and said to He Youqiu, "Uncle Qiu, I don't want to have any more involvement with Zheng Wenjie. This is the best situation I think."
"I won't let you go even if you want to!" He Youqiu looked into Kuang Tianyou's eyes with a serious expression and said seriously: "You must take good care of Fusheng and Axiu. If they are involved with Zheng Wenjie, I have a feeling that your peaceful days will be disrupted!"
"I don't want three more blood-sucking zombies to appear in this world. Tianyou, you must protect Ah Xiu and Fu Sheng and not fall into the abyss."
Kuang Tianyou nodded in the same serious tone and replied, "Uncle Qiu, what you think will never happen! I believe that neither Xiu nor Fusheng will be stained with human blood because of Zheng Wenjie's appearance."
Ma Xiaoling listened with disappointment in her eyes, but she did not say anything. She used her intact right hand to open the door of the ward and left the ward one after another with He Youqiu.
Kuang Tianyou looked at Uncle Qiu limping away, sighed deeply, released his hand that was pressing on the iron pipe on the accompanying chair, and left the ward to find A Xiu. Only the iron pipe of the accompanying chair that had been squeezed into a piece of iron was left.
After helping the two to get into the back seat of the car, Zheng Wenjie got in the car and said to Tang Xue, "Okay, drive to the construction site and let's catch this guy who doesn't know what he wants to do to us."
"Why do you suddenly become so interested?" Tang Xue laughed twice and drove away from the hospital.
Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at the old man and the young man in the rearview mirror who were also expressionless and silent, and said excitedly: "We are now like going on a treasure hunt, or an adventure, and solving a mystery."
"Who exactly is this Zhao Wenru? Why did he bury these seven people alive? And why did he choose to kill people on my land? Is this a coincidence or is his purpose related to us?"
Zheng Wenjie knocked on the car door gently: "The more I think about it, the more curious I become. By the way, when I met Ma Xiaoling yesterday, there was a 24-hour convenience store diagonally opposite the police station. I have seen the store manager in the employee information posted inside."
"When we were having the meeting in the underworld, he should have been sitting in the fourth seat in the third row from the bottom." Zheng Wenjie thought about it and his memory naturally came to his mind, like an extremely clear photo appearing in his mind.
Tang Xue was stunned and slowed down the car and asked, "Then why don't we just go to that convenience store and catch him?"
"Go to the construction site. When I selected this piece of land, it was very clean and there was no problem. No matter how I think about it, I feel that these seven people buried alive must have some purpose that I don't know about yet."
Zheng Wenjie looked into Ma Xiaoling's eyes in the rearview mirror and said, "When we get there, I'll have to trouble you two to tell me the real reason why these seven people were buried alive. After all, we can't just leave these seven lives buried in the ground in vain."
"Once that place is built, it will be my residence in the future. I don't want to sleep on top of these seven corpses who may die with their eyes open."
Ma Xiaoling snorted and said without any fear: "It turns out that even a zombie like you would feel uncomfortable sleeping on a dead person's head."
"Of course. After all, I didn't kill these seven people. Who wouldn't feel uncomfortable if the bodies that had nothing to do with me were buried in my land?"
Zheng Wenjie smiled, thought for a moment, snapped his fingers and said, "I've figured out how to deal with this matter. No matter who did it, I'm going to make these seven damn ghosts follow him closely every day."
"Even if he dies, I will arrange for him to be reincarnated and let these seven ghosts haunt him forever, so that he will know the consequences of wanting me to sleep on seven dead people's heads."
He Youqiu held back and uttered, "The deaths of these seven people are still unclear, not to mention that they were buried alive. The most important thing to do is to let them reincarnate as soon as possible."
Zheng Wenjie kept smiling and said cheerfully, "They will thank me. I am helping them to get revenge." (End of this chapter)
