Chapter 4624 [Settling the Grudge]

The three continued to search Zeng's house and soon found some bail tickets.

The above are all about someone borrowing money from the Zeng family and mortgaging their land to the Zeng family. If the principal and interest are not repaid on time, the land will belong to the Zeng family.

"That's amazing. The monthly interest rate is 3%, interest on top of interest. This is a really good loan." Xiang Nan exclaimed as soon as he saw the pledge ticket.

The monthly interest rate is three percent, which means three percent interest. If the loan is not repaid on time, the interest will be doubled and added to the principal of the next month, forming a "compound interest".

In this way, if you borrow 100 yuan, you have to pay back 3 yuan every month. If you can't pay it back this month, you have to pay back 6 yuan next month. If you can't pay it back again, you have to pay back 12 yuan... Within a few months, the interest will be higher than the principal.

In this way, the loan could not be repaid, and the land naturally belonged to the Zeng family.

"The Zeng family loved to force people to use their land as collateral to pay off debts, so they accumulated a lot of land and were a famous wealthy family at the time," Yang Feiyun explained.

"So if you do too many immoral things, you will get retribution." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Now the three generations of the Zeng family have gone crazy, all the family property has been squandered, and their descendants have become beggars. Although it seems pitiful, it is what the Zeng family deserves."

"Although cause and effect are cyclical and retribution is inevitable, cursing three generations of a family is indeed excessive." Taoist Mao waved his hand.

No matter how great the hatred or grudge is, it can only be avenged in one lifetime. Once a person dies, the debt is settled and cannot harm future generations. However, this person who cursed the Zeng family cursed three generations, which was far beyond the scope of revenge.

"Brother, since there are no problems with the Zeng family's tombs and houses, would the person who cast the curse curse the Zeng family at the cost of himself?" Xiang Nan suddenly suggested.

Cursing at one's own expense means sacrificing one's chance of reincarnation to curse others, so the power of the curse will be very great.

But usually, no one would do this, because the cost of cursing oneself is too high.

The enemy's family will certainly be cursed, with no peace, no population, and a declining family. But you will also never be able to turn over a new leaf.

"Use yourself as a curse?" Mao Xiaofang and Yang Feiyun were both stunned, and then nodded, "Yes, it is very likely."

The Zeng family was a moneylender and liked to force people to mortgage their land. I don’t know how many people they had caused to lose everything they had, sell their children, and even break up their families.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural for people to curse the Zeng family with their own lives.

"But the Zeng family has made so many enemies, how can we know who cast the curse on their family?" Yang Feiyun frowned again.

"Senior Brother, Mr. Yang, I wonder if you have noticed Zeng Cheng's handwriting..." Xiang Nan reminded again.

"Handwriting?!" Mao Xiaofang was stunned, and then he and Yang Feiyun said in unison, "His handwriting is the handwriting of two people."

Zeng Cheng liked to take pen and ink and write everywhere, on walls, floors, doors, and even on other people's clothes, so his words could be seen everywhere.

Some of these characters are relatively neat, showing the foundation of regular script; some are rather sloppy, and it is obvious at first glance that the author has not received many years of education.

This phenomenon is very rare, because a person's handwriting will not be good or bad at times. But because Zeng Cheng is a fool, crazy, stupid, and stupid, no one would care even if his handwriting is good or bad at times.

"Yes, I suspect that the reason why Zeng Cheng's handwriting is sometimes good and sometimes bad is because there are two people in his mind." Xiang Nan explained, "One of them is Zeng Cheng, and the other is the one who cast the curse. He cast the curse on himself, and his ghost lingered after his death, haunting the Zeng family for three generations."

"That makes sense." Mao Xiaofang nodded. "Compare all the pledge bills immediately to see which lender's handwriting is the same as Zeng Cheng's." Yang Feiyun and Xiang Nan both nodded, and then they searched and compared the handwriting on the pledge bills one after another.

……

"Brother, this is Du Shichang's pledge ticket. The word 'Shi' he wrote is exactly the same as Zeng Cheng's." Xiang Nan quickly found the pledge ticket of Du Shichang and saw that his signature was exactly the same as Zeng Cheng's.

"Yes, it's him." Mao Xiaofang took a look at it and nodded, saying, "There is no time to lose, let's go find Du Shichang's tomb right away."

Afterwards, the three of them found Du Shichang's tomb after asking around, and also inquired about his grievances with the Zeng family.

It turned out that Du Shichang was a wealthy man in Hong Kong, with a fortune of millions and thousands of acres of fertile land. Later, he needed funds to run a big business, so he had to borrow money from the Zeng family.

Unexpectedly, the business ended up losing money, and Du Shichang could not pay back the loan, so he had to mortgage his land to the Zeng family to pay off the debt. However, the Zeng family's loan was subject to compound interest, and in the end, not only did he lose the land, but he also lost all his family property, and was even forced to sell his children.

Du Shichang's family was ruined and his relatives died because of this, so he hated the Zeng family to the core.

"No wonder he would rather never be reincarnated and use his own life to curse the Zeng family. It turns out they have such a deep blood feud." Yang Feiyun sighed.

"So you must never do anything that would make you feel guilty. Otherwise, even if you gain wealth and glory for a while, it will bring disaster to your descendants." Xiang Nan nodded.

"That's right. If the Zeng family had shown some leniency, the Du family wouldn't have been forced to ruin." Mao Xiaofang agreed, "So if you want to do good things, you should do good things. If you can forgive others, you should forgive them."

As the three of them talked, they dug up Du Shichang's grave.

Sure enough, after opening the coffin lid, they saw an old scarecrow placed on top of a pile of white bones.

A piece of yellow paper was pasted on the straw man, with the words "revenge in three lives, blood debt must be paid with blood" written on it in blood. Three embroidery needles were also used to pierce the straw man's eyebrows, navel and genitals.

Xiang Nan knew that this was the "Yan Sheng Fa", similar to the voodoo dolls of voodoo. The three needles inserted into the straw man were equivalent to inserting them into the Zeng family.

And because Du Shichang used his own life to curse, at the cost of never being able to reincarnate, the curse was also very powerful.

"It was indeed him who cast the curse." Mao Xiaofang said immediately after seeing it, "Junior brother, you are really smart. You actually thought of someone using you to cast a curse."

"I just thought of it by chance. Since there is no problem with the Zeng family's Yang house and Yin house, maybe it is because someone used me to cast a curse." Xiang Nan smiled, "I didn't expect that my guess was right."

"If we find the person who cast the curse and then find the scarecrow, Zeng Cheng's curse can finally be broken." Yang Feiyun nodded and said, "Congratulations, Master Mao, you will definitely win this bet."

"The so-called gambling game is nothing more than a momentary dispute of arrogance. In fact, I don't care about winning or losing at all." Mao Xiaofang waved his hand and said, "Being able to lift the Zeng family's curse and restore Zeng Cheng's consciousness is what I care most about."

"Master Mao is truly a man of unparalleled benevolence and compassion. I admire him for what he has." Yang Feiyun praised.

"The Zeng family has gone crazy for three generations and lost all their wealth. They have suffered enough. It's time to settle this feud." Xiang Nan also echoed.
