Although they recognized Fang Zheng, everyone's thoughts were similar to Guitou's. This monk shouldn't continue to help redeem people, right? After all, the college student’s family hasn’t come yet. What if they are not short of money
However, what shocked everyone was that Fang Zheng nodded! Then, as if he was afraid that everyone would not understand, he added: "The poor monk is willing to pay this money. How much do you want from the donors?"
"What?!" Bai Wenshui, Guitou, and others shouted in unison almost at the same time, looking at Fang Zheng as if they were looking at monsters.
Fang Zheng looked at Guitou and Bai Wenshui calmly, and continued to ask: "How much money will it cost for the two donors to hand over the body to the poor monk?"
"Hey!" Guitou exclaimed in surprise. He and Bai Wenshui looked at each other and saw the meaning in each other's eyes: This is a rich monk! This is a monk with overflowing love! This is a big fool! If you don't cheat him, I'll be sorry for myself!
So Guitou waved his hand, stretched out two fingers and said: "Twenty thousand!"
"What? Yesterday it was only 12,000, why is it only 20,000 today?" Someone got angry.
"Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. Didn't you see that Brother Bai and I almost drowned? This job is very risky, so the price must be increased!" Guitou said without showing any signs of weakness.
Before anyone else could help, Fang Zheng spoke first: "Twenty thousand is not much compared to a human life."
"It's better for you, a monk, to enter the Tao. Compared with human life, it is indeed not much." Guitou was happy, it was the first time he encountered such a fool.
Bai Wenshui asked: "Monk, how much do you think this person is worth?" Bai Wenshui didn't ask for nothing. They hang out on the water every day, fishing for people to make money, but what they are criticized for is also making money from people. He would not settle for less, and would be scolded for more. Finally, he met someone who was willing to offer a higher price. Of course he would seize such a good opportunity to raise the price.
Fang Zheng said: "Priceless."
"Well said! According to what you said, I can't give you 20,000, but 30,000!" Bai Wenshui said.
Fang Zheng smiled and said: "People are priceless, but labor is valuable. Fishing for people will delay fishing and affect people's lives. It does require a certain amount of remuneration. However, holding the corpse and asking for a price, shouting the price all over the sky, is too much."
"Monk, what do you mean by this?" Guitou was unhappy, and so was Bai Wenshui.
The people were originally a little dissatisfied with Fang Zheng's words, but when they heard this, they suddenly cheered.
"That's right! Bai Wenshui, we don't object to you charging a certain amount of money to fish for people, but you are too shady! How much money can you make from fishing in a day? Three hundred and five hundred is the best! You can fish for people with just your mouth. Tens of thousands, and your conscience is eaten by a dog?"
"Bai Wenshui, do you know why everyone doesn't want to see you? At the beginning, you only charged two thousand yuan. At that time, everyone said that you are good people! No one said that you are not good. What's the result? Your hearts are getting worse day by day. Now they are asking for 30,000 yuan. Are you still an individual? The corpse recovery team in the city next door charges a symbolic 1,000 yuan for each person. But which company only gives 1,000 yuan? Which company does not give 2,300 yuan? How much can I pay? I know that your work is hard and dangerous, so who can treat you badly? It would be better for you to raise the price yourself!" someone scolded.
"The next door is so nice, why don't you move there!" Bai Wenshui sneered.
Guitou also said: "That's right, we don't mind if you go to Gobi City to find people to fish for people."
"You don't mind if someone else pulls them out? Bah! Who asked someone to break the legs of the previous voluntary body-retrieving team? Who sank the boat?" someone shouted.
"Okay, it's bullshit! Why are you talking about this? If you have ability, you can prove it. If you don't have ability, don't **! Monk, the person is here! These people make me very unhappy. Don't even think about taking it away without 50,000 yuan!" Bai Wenshui Pointing to the corpse on the ground.
Everyone was furious when they heard this, but after just a few words, the price was raised. If they continued, they were afraid that the price would be raised again, which would harm the families of the monks and college students. So everyone looked at each other angrily but said nothing...
Fang Zheng clasped his hands together, looked at Bai Wenshui and Guitou with a gentle look on his face and said, "You two, the poor monk said that if you have more money, you will have more debts, and more debts have to be repaid. Are you sure you want 50,000?"
"Stop talking to me about useless things! I don't believe in Buddhism! I only believe in money! Either you give the money and they take it away. Or we drag them away, do whatever you want!" Bai Wenshui shouted.
"Amitabha, in that case, fifty thousand is fifty thousand." After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he took out fifty thousand from his bag and handed it over.
Bai Wenshui and Heitou happened to see that there was a lot of money in Fang Zheng's package. The red banknotes immediately stimulated their greed. Guitou shouted almost subconsciously: "Fifty thousand is to appease Brother Bai's unhappiness, and mine." ? One hundred thousand! I want one hundred thousand!"
"You..." Everyone was anxious.
Fang Zheng was the first to speak: "Okay!"
Then Fangzheng took out another 50,000 yuan, a thick pile of 100,000 yuan!
When Guitou took it over, I felt like I was in a dream! The man with the black mole and others were in a daze when they saw so much money. Over the past year or so, they have indeed made a lot of money, but they have never made so much money from a corpse! They seem to have seen a golden road leading all the way to the other side of making fortune!
"Monk, if you do this, you are spoiling them! They took your 100,000 yuan this time, and they will dare to ask for 100,000 yuan from others next time! If this continues, who will be able to redeem people in the future?" someone said worriedly.
Fang Zheng hasn't spoken yet. Is Guitou quitting his job? Will it cut off his wealth? This is not possible! So Guitou immediately yelled: "What are you shouting for? I'm not asking you to pay!" As he spoke, Guitou quickly put the money in his pocket, then carried the body to the shore, jumped on the boat, and supported Bai Wenshui together. The boat ran away! They are also afraid that Fang Zheng will regret it!
And the police are coming soon. They usually ask for 18,000 yuan, which is reasonable, but now it is unreasonable to ask for 100,000 yuan to get a person. Even if the police can't catch them, they will make them spit out one-ninth and return it to the monk. They don’t want to lose the money they got!
Fang Zheng looked at the two people leaving, waved and called, "Two of you, do you have a lot of money?"
This question was incomprehensible, but Guitou still replied: "Not much!"
"Amitabha." Fang Zheng proclaimed the Buddha's name and turned to leave.
Everyone looked puzzled. Why did the monk ask such a question? Obviously a lot! But I gave the money, can I get it back
Fangzheng left the riverside regardless of what everyone thought. Not long after, Red Boy came back. Sitting next to Fangzheng angrily, he said, "Master, you don't care about this turtle bastard?"
Fang Zheng said unhurriedly: "Who said we don't care anymore? Let's go and sing a good show today!"
"A good show?" Red Boy was stunned, and looked at Squirrel. They both saw the smile in the other's eyes. It seemed that someone was going to be unlucky.
