I am working hard to cultivate immortality in Uncle Jiu's world!

Chapter 42: It is difficult for an honest official to settle family affairs

Views:

"Brother!! I'm coming!"

Just when Uncle Jiu had just arrived at the Li Mansion, he was still lamenting the disputes within the Mansion.

A familiar and cocky voice came from a distance. Uncle Jiu looked back and found two rows of zombies carrying a huge piece of wood. They were squatting on it with their eyes, waists and horses connected as one.

Uncle Jiu looked a little amused, "Junior brother, what are you doing?"

He looked slightly downwards, towards Simu's butt.

"cough!"

Simu coughed dryly. This zombie car was good, but it was a bit too bumpy, especially on this road which was a bit difficult to drive on.

The zombies were jumping all over the place, and it was very uncomfortable for him to sit on them, so he could only squat on them.

After all, he is a martial artist. How could a mere horse stance stump him

He staggered out of the zombie car, his legs trembling constantly, but his face looked calm, as if the trembling legs were not his fault.

Uncle Jiu glanced at Simu and did not expose him. Instead, he looked at the wooden boards carried by the zombies.

Why does it look familiar

"Two Taoist priests, please go in quickly and subdue that thing." The young man on the side said respectfully.

Uncle Jiu nodded, dismounted, and with a stretch of his hand, the two horses turned into paper horses and slowly fell into his palm.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!"

It was already early morning, and the Li Mansion was where a wealthy family lived, so naturally there were many people coming and going.

Some were butlers making purchases, some were servants coming and going, and some were doormen who came to greet Uncle Jiu.

They watched with their own eyes as the live horse turned into a paper horse. How could they not be surprised by this magic trick

Si Mu's eyes lit up when he saw the paper horse, and he quietly came to Uncle Jiu and said, "Brother, what a great horse!"

It doesn't eat food, doesn't eat grass, and doesn't drink water. It can run endlessly with just a little bit of magic power. What a good horse it is!

Uncle Jiu didn't say anything and just put the paper away immediately. As a fellow apprentice who grew up together, how could he not understand Simu's thoughts

We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Liao Zhai games with me

This is clearly a desire for a paper horse!

Seeing Uncle Jiu put away the paper horse, Simu became a little anxious, "Brother, brother, let's talk it over. Let's talk it over."

Uncle Jiu stretched out his hand, rubbed his thumb and index finger skillfully, then clenched his fist, and then raised his index and middle fingers straight up.

Simu's face couldn't help but feel painful for a moment, but he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his face became happy again in the blink of an eye, "Brother, it's settled, two big yellow croakers!"

"flutter!"

Russell, who had been indifferent to the matter, was shocked. Two big yellow croakers? ?

Oh my god!

He wanted to spit out blood. Two big yellow croakers were equivalent to 20 small yellow croakers, and one small yellow croaker was 40 yuan.

20 small yellow croakers, that’s 800 damn dollars!

It's almost as good as the red-haired old monster with his penis removed.

What is the cost price of a paper horse worth 800 yuan

Russell calculated with his fingers and found that there was no need to consider the labor cost of making paper horses. Just the cost of materials was only worth one dollar for ten of them.

"hiss!"

Russell couldn't help but gasp. He was so surprised that he had contributed to global warming.

This is a profit of more than 8,000 times!

Uncle Jiu couldn't help but tremble his two outstretched little fingers. What he actually wanted to say was, this paper horse is worth two dollars.

This was a bargaining match between the two of us. Uncle Jiu would definitely give it a lower price and just sell it for one dollar.

A paper horse can travel a thousand miles a day. This is for those who practice Taoism.

If there is no magic power, it is no different from waste paper.

But Simu actually offered a fixed price for two big yellow croakers!

Uncle Jiu remained calm, lowered his right hand, covered Russell's little mouth, and rubbed his thumb and index finger together. The meaning was quite obvious.

Don't talk nonsense, I'll share the spoils with you later.

Russell suddenly became quiet and a smile appeared on his face.

He and Uncle Jiu rob the rich and give to the poor!

Uncle Simu is such a rich man!

Simu didn't know that he was being tricked. His face was full of smiles and he was in a good mood. In his opinion, the paper horse was a top-notch magical weapon. It was definitely not easy to refine one, at least he had never heard of it.

Just two large yellow croakers.

It's really a huge profit, this business is a sure win!

"Please come in, Taoist priests."

A man with a sad face was standing at the door to greet them. He waved his hand, and the young man who had led the way left.

Then he waved his hand and led Uncle Jiu, Simu, and little Russell into the Li Mansion.

The Li Mansion is very large. Once you enter the door, the room is bright and spacious. There are side rooms on both sides, which are used by servants.

In the middle is the reception hall, but now coffins are placed there.

Behind it is the backyard, where the master's room and the women's rooms are located. Looking up, there is a pond and a small courtyard.

There is a reason why ladies from wealthy families never leave their houses.

Of course, the backyard is not open to outsiders, and Russell is not curious enough to run to the back to take a look.

He's a man who's seen the world!

Have you ever heard of tall buildings, busy traffic, and prosperous cities

The man was walking in front, and his purpose was particularly obvious, which was naturally the hall where the coffin was parked in front.

Before anyone arrived, I heard crying and noise.

A group of people with white cloth on their heads were sitting in the hall. Several women were crying there. They seemed to be crying sadly and anxiously, but no one knew who they were crying for.

At least it’s not Old Master Li standing next to him!

A group of people were chattering there, occasionally uttering a sentence or two of beautiful Chinese.

It was chaotic and disorganized, but Russell could vaguely understand a few words.

"unfair!"

"Why?"

Uncle Jiu's expression remained unchanged, as if he had heard nothing, and the same went for Simu. They had seen too many things.

What's this matter

They just came here to clean up the dirt. They, as outsiders, never get involved in family matters like this.

Even an honest judge finds it difficult to judge family affairs!

If household chores could be solved so easily, the so-called relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would no longer be so tense.

In life, the most terrifying things are not the big storms, but the trivialities of life, the daily necessities of life, and the trivial matters.

Russell is most annoyed by these things!

“Boom!”

There was a muffled sound, and an old voice rang out, "Silence! It's disgraceful to quarrel like this! Aren't you afraid of losing face?"

The entire hall fell silent in an instant. One person seemed still unwilling to accept the situation. "Uncle, this is unfair!"

"I have made up my mind. I have seen clearly your abilities. Everything will be done according to your father's wishes. That is the best arrangement!"

"Uncle!"

Several people exclaimed in surprise instantly, while the rest of them looked happy. According to the original arrangement, some of them suffered losses, while others naturally got more.

"Um?"

The old man glared and his aura immediately rose. Everyone was silent, but no one dared to say no.

"I'm sorry to make the two Taoist priests laugh!"

Uncle Jiu waved his hand without saying anything.

The old man nodded with satisfaction. This is a real Taoist!

He shouted to the servant beside him, "Open the coffin!"

Several people hurried forward and opened the coffin in the hall.
