Chapter 17 Lanruo Temple Middle School Scholar (6500 words large cup)(2/3)
"Hahaha, wonderful, really wonderful!"
When the two of them were almost quarreling, Mo Ziming couldn't help but smile.
As expected, the two of them adopted the strategy of replacing the pillars and prepared two different contracts, deliberately distracting their attention the moment Feng Da put his handprints on.
Including when pressing the handprints, Qiao Youde was also hypocritical about asking questions.
But Feng Da was very nervous and didn't look closely, so he fell into the plot of the two.
"Sir, this is what happened. The little people didn't know why this contract was inexplicably five thousand taels.
By the way, Xiaomin has another contract at home, that is, the one worth five hundred taels, and Xiaomin can present it to the court."
"Bang!"
Ma Daming slapped the agglomeration heavily and glanced at Qiao Youde and asked sternly: "Jiao Youde, do you know your guilt?"
"Sir, it's unfair. These are all Qi Luren's one-sided words."
"Sir, the little people have witnesses and evidence..."
A dog bites a dog, with a mouthful of hair.
In the end, Ma Daming sent someone to Qi's house to find another contract written by Qiao Youde.
What's amazing is that the previous 5,000 taels of silver somehow became fifty taels again...
Under Mo Ziming's secret instruction, Feng Da made a request in the hall, saying that since there was a problem with the contract, he would not count them all and return the house to him.
Ma Daming was reluctant to seek this because he was the most troublesome.
However, Qi Yuanwai and Qiao Youde conspired to harm the people, so they could not be spared easily. Ma Daming pronounced the verdict in court, fined two people 500 taels of silver each, and detained for three months to show warnings.
Hearing the verdict, Mr. Qi and Mr. Qi fainted in court.
For Mr. Qi, he could take out the 500 taels of silver. He was imprisoned for three months. It seemed that he didn't last long, but his reputation was ruined and he had a criminal record.
Qiao Youde was even more miserable... If he wanted to raise five hundred taels of silver, he had to sell some of his property.
Originally, the Qiao family had already lost their family, which made it even worse.
What's more serious is that his reputation has been completely ruined... I'm afraid no one will call him Mr. Qiao again in the future.
It would be strange if you don’t dizzy!
But Ma Daming was secretly happy.
If he secretly hated Mo Ziming for meddling in other people's business at the beginning, then now he is secretly grateful.
After all, once the case was sentenced, he made another thousand taels of silver.
On the surface, this silver was charged with kuyin, but it would eventually become his.
After the case was tried, the news quickly spread throughout the county town, making the people talk about it and spread it everywhere as a strange story.
At this time, Mo Ziming began to take the next action...
…………
At night.
Ma Daming withdrew all his servants and went to the study to count the accounts.
Suddenly, a cool breeze came from behind my head...
Before he could come back to his senses, his whole body shook, his eyes becoming dumb.
It was Mo Ziming who took the action.
Although he had heard Cheng Meng talk about Ma Daming's impostor before, he still wanted to confirm it himself.
"Who are you?"
"Ma Daming..."
It's really not a big deal.
"So, what about Ma Dagui?"
"Dead..."
After asking and answering each question, Ma Daming honestly told the truth about impostors.
The process is similar to what Cheng Meng said, and there are a lot of details.
"Forgot~"
When he asked almost the same question, Mo Ziming raised his hand and disappeared without a trace.
"Um?"
Ma Daming then woke up, looked around in confusion, muttered and rubbed his forehead, and continued to look through the account book.
He had no idea what was going on, and he just thought he was in a trance.
A seemingly ordinary night destined to see another major turning point in his fate.
After noon the next day, Mo Ziming took Qin Song and Lu Buping to a special place as planned: Lanruo Temple.
This temple is very close to the county town, only five or six miles away, and is located at the foot of Black Mountain.
It is said that the completion of Lanruo Temple was to suppress monsters in the Black Mountains.
Since its completion, the incense has been very popular. There are hundreds of monks in the temple, and even many people from other places come to worship Buddha and burn incense.
But more than a hundred years ago, a horrific and strange incident occurred in Lanruo Temple: overnight, the monks in the temple disappeared out of thin air, without seeing anyone in their lives, and without seeing the corpse in their lives, and are still unresolved.
Since then, Lanruo Temple has been abandoned, and the people have changed their minds when talking, so they avoided it.
Because everyone speculated that it was mostly monsters in the Black Mountains.
The government once offered a large reward for experts to go to Black Mountain to catch monsters, but almost all went but never returned. A few of them escaped by chance became crazy.
However, although Lanruo Temple is famous, people still enter the temple from time to time.
Some people who are unknown to passers-by want to spend some money here, while others make a special trip to the temple to hunt for curiosity.
This type of curiosity hunter is mainly people and scholars in the world.
They are not afraid of ghosts, they are not afraid of female ghosts, especially scholars.
There are rumors in the market that there are many female ghosts in Lanruo Temple, each with all kinds of charm, like flowers and words, like jade and fragrance.
Just as there are many scholars in the Stories from a Chinese Studio who often read at night with a light, do you really think they work so hard?
In fact, I just hope to meet a fox spirit and a female ghost, and enjoy a strange style that ordinary people cannot enjoy.
As for the consequences, what do you want to do so much? The important thing is to enjoy the process.
People die under flowers, and being ghosts is romantic.
"Brother Mo, what's the most beautiful thing about this temple?"
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Lu Buping looked up and could faintly see a corner of the temple hidden among the woods and grass.
The steps up the mountain are covered with moss and weeds on both sides, so it can be seen that few people go up the mountain.
Mo Ziming smiled mysteriously: "You will know then."
The mountain road is not long, I climbed up the steps and saw the full view of the temple soon.
After so many years of ups and downs, the temple has remained intact in general, but it is just a mottled pattern, which looks particularly desolate.
The temple door is half-opened and closed, and a broken plaque is hanging on the door archway. Two big characters can be seen vaguely: Lan Ruo.
Looking at the ground again, you can see some messy footprints vaguely.
"What a pity, such a good temple is abandoned like this."
Qin Song looked around and couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Although there are ghosts appearing in the Xinli Temple, Mo Ziming is not worried about this daytime.
And for the sake of safety, he also made two talismans for Qin Song and Lu Buping to collect them closely.
Even if the two of them really encounter little demons and ghosts, this talisman can still play a protective role.
As soon as I stepped into the temple, a cold, desolate and decaying breath came to my face.
Mo Ziming was fine, but Qin Song and Lu Buping couldn't help but shivered.
"This dilapidated temple is indeed a bit evil."
Lu Buping couldn't help but mutter to himself.
