Uncle Jiu's Senior Brother

Lu Li took out the ghost-collecting gourd stored in the talisman and activated his magic power.

A golden thread came out from the mouth of the gourd, wrapped around the ghost's neck, and then the golden thread brought the ghost back into the gourd.

"Please let me go. I haven't found Yu Lian yet. Taoist Priest, please let me go."

The ghost in the gourd howled unwillingly.

Lu Li also wanted to know whether the young lady had betrayed him, so he said:

"I'll have someone find out for you tomorrow morning. Now shut up."

As expected, as soon as these words were spoken, peace returned to the gourd.

The next morning, Lu Li found everyone in the troupe.

"Master Lu, how is the ghost being caught?"

The troupe owner said anxiously that everyone knew that the troupe was haunted last night. If the ghost was not caught, there would be no need to perform the rest of the show.

Lu Li thought that the free labor would be wasted.

"We have caught him, but he is still unwilling to give up. If we don't deal with him, he will be a big threat to the troupe in the future."

"what!"

Xiao Mingxiang's eyes were filled with fear. This was too scary. If this was the case, she would not stay in this troupe anymore.

The troupe leader saw what everyone was thinking. How could he lead the team if people’s morale was low?

"Master Lu, my family depends on the troupe for their livelihood. I will listen to whatever you say on how to calm things down."

Lu Li did not embarrass the troupe members any further and told the troupe leader the name of the opera ghost and the name of his original troupe.

Finally, he was also informed of the ghost's origin and death process.

After hearing this, the class owner sighed that he was not only a colleague but also a lovesick man.

Finally, Lu Li reminded everyone to make sure to find out the whereabouts of that lady.

The troupe owner was actually in a difficult position. This happened during the Xianfeng period, more than 60 years ago. Where could he find out the details?

But thinking about the situation of the opera troupe, fortunately I know a lot of people in Niubao Town, so I will be able to find out something sooner or later.

Of course Lu Li knew that the class owner was in a difficult situation. If he had known the young lady's birth date and horoscope, he would not have resorted to such a desperate measure.

Directly calculate to her location.

When this matter is over, I will not treat the boss unfairly.

After receiving the information, the troupe owner immediately called all the troupe members to inquire about the situation in the man's family.

Lu Li returned to the inn leisurely and listened to opera all night.

My mind is full of sad dramas now. I need to meditate to calm my mind.

A day later, the owner of the opera troupe rushed to the inn where Lu Li was staying.

"Master Lu, I got the news."

"Oh, that man's surname is Zhang, and he lived in Chezai Alley back then."

"That's right. Fortunately, there is an old man who knows his family. When he was a child, he used to herd cattle for Mr. Zhang's family."

Lu Li felt the gourd on the table tremble slightly.

"Let's go to your troupe and we'll talk about it there."

Lu Li put away the gourd and followed the troupe owner to the troupe. They found a secluded room, and the troupe owner then told them in detail.

Just as the ghost sang, he and the young lady from the Zhang family were in love with each other and secretly decided to spend their lives together.

But before eloping, he was extremely cautious, but he didn't guard against the young lady's maid.

Normally, the letters between them were delivered by maids.

The maid naturally also understood what was going on between them.

They wanted to leave, but the maid didn't dare to hide it after reading the letter.

That day, Miss Zhang was filled with joy after reading the letter as usual.

But I feel happy to be with my beloved husband.

So he asked the maid beside him to burn the letters while he went to pack his luggage.

The maid took the letter but did not burn it as she did in the past.

And he turned around and went to see Mr. Zhang. You can imagine how angry Mr. Zhang was.

He, a down-and-out opera singer, actually wanted to steal the little cotton-padded jacket he had raised for more than ten years.

He ordered the housekeeper to bring people to beat the actor to death.

In the end, I paid some money to settle the matter.

When the maid found out, she regretted it deeply.

Just as the young lady was about to go out to keep a date, she was stopped by Mr. Zhang. She learned from him that her lover had died, and she was heartbroken.

Finally he hanged himself to death.

Because the maid did not take good care of the young lady, Mr. Zhang beat her with a stick and kicked her out of the house.

He happened to be rescued by the cowherd's family. After explaining the whole story to the cowherd's family, he also jumped into the river and committed suicide.

Devastated by this, Mr. Zhang moved his family to another province.

"Alas! Love has always hurt people, and there is so much sorrow and pity in the world."

After hearing this, Lu Li was also deeply moved by their ending.

"You've heard everything. Do you have anything else to say? I think Hua Guang Patriarch also knew all this, so he felt sorry for you and detained you instead of beating you to death."

Lu Li released the ghost from the gourd.

"Ah, ghost!"

The class owner was suddenly frightened when he saw a male ghost appear in front of him.

"What are you afraid of with me here? This is the young man in the story just now."

It turned out to be him. It is said that the first impression is very important. After I knew that this person was the male protagonist in the story.

Not only was the troupe leader no longer afraid, he even looked at the ghost with pity.

"It's all my fault. I got her into trouble and wronged her for decades. Yu Lian, I will find you even if I have to work like a cow or a horse in my next life."

"You are still persistent. Forget it. Now I will send you to reincarnate. I hope you can find your Yu Lian."

The ghost knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Lu Li.

"Thank you, Master, for clearing up my doubts. I will repay you in my next life."

Lu Li did not say anything, but directly sent the ghost to the underworld.

"Master Lu, it's all right now!"

"It's okay. I've already sent him away. You can start the show without worry."

The troupe boss breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.

Someone from the troupe has come to me to ask for resignation these two days. If it were someone else, it would be easy to deal with.

But even Xiao Mingxiang hinted that she wanted to leave, as she was the mainstay of their troupe.

Now that the problem has been resolved, the troupe can finally continue.

"Keep this. When you're performing in a play next time, put this in a conspicuous place backstage. It will ensure your safety in the future."

Lu Li took out two blue talismans and handed them to the troupe owner.

You can't let others help you gather information for free, you still have to give them the benefits they deserve.

Now Lu Li can already draw silver talismans, but a blue talisman like this one cannot be bought without hundreds of dollars.

The troupe boss was also a man who knew what was good. After accepting the gift with many thanks, he took out a silver note from his pocket.

"Master Lu, our troupe doesn't have much money, so please take these and burn incense for the founder of Mount Mao."

Lu Li discovered that the boss of this opera troupe was indeed good at talking, worthy of being an opera singer.

It was said so beautifully that Lu Li couldn't help but accept it.

Without looking at the number, Lu Li put it directly into his arms.

Before leaving, he gave him a talisman to attract wealth.

The boss of the opera troupe was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. This is the talisman given by Master Lu of Maoshan.

After resolving the issues in Niubao Town, Lu Li did not stay any longer.

Speed ​​up and rush to Renjia Town.

"Little Lu Li, why haven't you seen Uncle Nine recently?"

The fishmonger saw Lu Li passing by and hurriedly called out to him.

"Haha, my master has to go back to Maoshan for something, and Qiu Sheng is staying in Yizhuang."

"I'm telling you, your master and Wencai haven't been out lately, so go ahead and get busy."

Lu Li greeted his acquaintances in the town and arrived at the charity cemetery.

Hey! Lu Li found that the door was locked.

It seems that Qiu Sheng has received the job.

Lu Li unlocked the door and walked in. The layout of the charity cemetery remained basically unchanged.

Qiu Sheng didn't move from Uncle Jiu and Lu Li's room.

He now lives in the place next to the lobby where Wencai used to live. This was where Mr. Ren added a few rooms when he renovated the charity cemetery.

Otherwise Qiu Sheng will have to sleep in the morgue.

I touched the table and found a thin layer of dust. It seemed that Qiu Sheng had been gone for a few days.

Without staying long, Lu Li locked the door and prepared to go check out the newly opened store of Partridge Whistle.

The location of the Queqiao Shao store is good, it is in the center of Renjia Town.

It is next to Aunt Qiu Sheng’s rouge and powder shop.

Wangyuezhai, this is a good name.

After standing outside and taking a look, Lu Li walked in.

The store is not too big, and there are cabinets on both sides of the walls to store some antiques.

When Lu Li entered, Partridge Whistle was sitting on a chair in the back drinking tea and reading a book.

"Cough cough!"

"Please feel free to look around. If you like anything, just tell me."

Lu Li noticed that Partridge Whistle didn't even raise his head. Good man, this is how you do business, just go with the flow!

I still own a large portion of this store.

Even though Partridge Whistle went to tombs many times, he was always going for the Zhuchen Pearl.

When he went in and found nothing, he came out dejected and empty-handed.

So the three brothers and sisters were all very poor, if it weren’t for their master who had some savings.

These three people have problems eating.
