Chapter 9 Business is booming
When Qiusheng and Wencai heard this bastard's words, they flew into a rage, and they were about to show their hands when they went up.

Just when he rolled up his sleeves, a row of black muzzles pointed at several people, including Xu Ping.

Damn it, it's really good to play with this hairy man killing the donkey, and I don't know if I can dodge the bullet with my true energy.

Thinking of the demon in the stone lion, Xu Ping pondered for a while, thinking that this matter must be aimed at Master Ren.

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and said, "Uncle Jiu, just before they opened the ladle, someone seemed to shout something?"

After being reminded by Xu Ping, Uncle Jiu also had a little impression.

It's just that there was a lot of noise in the yard at that time, and I was so focused on talking to Mr. Ren that I really didn't pay attention. The opera singer next to me was still babbling...

"Singer..."

Xu Ping and Uncle Nine came to their senses almost at the same time, and when Wen Cai heard it, he said straight away: "Master, the actor on stage just now is going to return to his hometown to take revenge, and is about to kill his enemy, so he yelled death, could it be he……"

Wencai doesn't like to socialize, but likes to listen to operas, so when others are talking in bureaucratic ways, he has been listening to operas, and he is the first to react.

Uncle Jiu said anxiously: "Quick, go find that troupe."

Awei narrowed his small eyes, and his face was full of vigilance: "Then what should you do if you run away later?"

Uncle Nine was speechless for a moment, but Xu Ping looked around and smiled faintly: "That opera singer is most likely here for Master Ren, and as Master Ren's only daughter, Miss Ren Tingting is probably..."

"Ah, cousin!"

With a scream, Awei hurried to the backyard with a group of boys who were eager to leave quickly.

It's just that there is a figure in the team, which is very familiar.

Wen Cai was also in a hurry, and was ahead of Ah Wei in discussing the professionalism of dog licking.

Uncle Nine hated that iron cannot be made into steel, but there was nothing he could do about it. Seeing Xu Ping's smiling face, he sighed, "Your disciple is naughty, let Shopkeeper Xu see you as a joke."

"Where?" Xu Ping said indifferently: "The literary talent doesn't stick to trifles, and he was born for love. He is really a man of temperament."

"Love is no joke."

Ninth Uncle was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Xu Ping more appreciatively.

Maoshan inherited the inheritance of the Zhengyi Shangqing School. Except for a few Taoist priests who live in the temple and become monks, they are all allowed to marry and have children.

So he didn't have too many demands on the two apprentices in this regard, just be a chicken by himself, there is no need to impose it on the apprentices.

But Xu Ping didn't look at it with colored glasses, which surprised him. Taoist priests marry wives and concubines, drink alcohol and eat meat, and they will always be prejudiced by the world.

What is this? In my place, monks can still start a company to make money... Xu Ping has never seen anything, so he didn't think much about it.

However, facing Uncle Jiu's scorching gaze, Xu Ping was a little overwhelmed, and he was in a hurry to go back, too late.

"Since the matter is over, it is not Xu's job to find the murderer, so I will leave."

Uncle Jiu definitely wanted to stay and cooperate with the investigation. His sense of justice in his heart did not allow him to leave at this time.

Such a person is very tired to live, but to Uncle Jiu, he feels at ease.

After leaving the Ren Mansion, Xu Ping walked faster and faster against the moonlight. He was really anxious to go back.

As for why...

There are so many people who have died in the Ren family, and they all have some status, and their family background must not be bad.

The business of the coffin shop must not explode like a blowout. If you go back late, you will miss a lot of business.

Although the Xu family's coffin shop has always been run by the Buddhist family, it is still a business, and it is impossible to drive out if there are guests.

To put it vulgarly, the coffin shop needs to make money in order to continue to operate. To put it elegantly, it is not making money, but giving dead bodies a brand new home, soothing their cold bodies and souls, and doing good deeds.

……

In the next few days.

The murder case that happened in Ren's mansion caused disturbances all over the city, and the people were panic-stricken.

Especially Ah Wei, who is not in tune, without his uncle to cover him, the chief of the police station ordered him to arrest the murderer and bring him to justice within seven days, which made him very worried.

And the theater troupe that night was found, but the actors on the stage that night had long since disappeared.

The distraught Awei didn't care, he sent the leader of the class to the prison, and put the chili water and tiger stools on the line, but still didn't find a single hair.

In the end, it was Uncle Jiu who said a few good words, and the troupe's leader felt better, but he was still locked up in prison. If he couldn't do it seven days later, he was going to use him as a scapegoat.

These were all Wen Cai told Xu Ping when he came to buy Yuanbao paper money.

He is currently stationed at Ren's house, nominally to protect Ren Tingting, but in fact he is just running errands to improve his presence.

Uncle Ninth is also very busy during this period. He has to assist the captain Ah Wei in investigating the case, and he also has to save the dead souls. He is very busy.

As Xu Ping expected, there was an endless stream of people who came to buy coffins and funeral supplies, and basically all the high-end coffins in the shop were picked away.

He made a lot of money, but looking at the shop that was mostly empty, Xu Ping also started to get busy, making paper figurines.

There was still a lot of wood piled up in the backyard, which were all materials for making coffins. Every night, Xu Ping made a few paper figurines to help make coffins.

He himself slept leisurely.

That is to say, the paper man can't speak, otherwise he would have to scold him as Xu Bopi, a vicious capitalist who doesn't even give him any subsidy for working night shifts.

That night, Xu Ping was about to close the door and call the paper man to work, but Qiu Sheng suddenly ran over with a dull face, as if he had smoked a few catties of opium.

At first glance, Xu Ping thought he was a good guy, he was still getting tired of that female ghost, and he was really not afraid of death, so would Uncle Jiu not care?
"Shopkeeper Xu, you have to do me a favor. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow." Qiu Sheng begged, promising a meal of flowers and wine, two catties of chestnuts, and some rouge from Aunt Jiashun.

Rouge is for paper figurines, and the coffin shop will prepare some.

Xu Ping is not a person who likes flower wine, so while making tea, he asked, "What do you want to say first?"

"I met a girl a few days ago. She looks very good. I like it very much, but I always feel that something is wrong. I want you to help me find it. Is that girl... a human or a ghost?"

You don't even know whether it's a human or a ghost, so you're just having fun...Xu Ping said directly, "Since you're asking me that, you must already have the answer in your heart."

"Ah!" Qiu Changchang sighed, looking a little embarrassed: "Although I also sensed that something was wrong, but for some reason, I can't say the words of rejection..."

"Master said that shopkeeper Xu has a deep knowledge, so he wanted to ask shopkeeper Xu to help me go to the shop. When I see that girl, I tend to get confused."

Xu Ping asked curiously, "Then why don't you look for Uncle Jiu?"

Qiu Sheng suddenly became angry: "Master has been following Captain Ah Wei to investigate the case for the past few days. When I saw the captain, I wanted to beat him, so I didn't even meet Master much, besides..."

Qiu Sheng didn't have the nerve to say what he swallowed, and Xu Ping could guess that if Uncle Jiu knew that his apprentice was fascinated by a female ghost, it would definitely be another lesson with sticks.

Xu Ping thought about it carefully, that female ghost is also okay, except for being obsessed with Qiu Sheng, she has never harmed others, and even in the end, she didn't hesitate to risk herself, so she went to talk about it.

If the other party is stubborn and restless, it just so happens that the Yin-Yang Illustrated Book has not been opened for a few days, so it happens to deduct some rewards from her.

"That's fine, then I'll go with you!"

But just to be on the safe side, Xu Ping asked Qiusheng to go to Yizhuang first and bring the copper coin sword in case of emergency.

And he himself was going to take the two paper figurines with him.

Two vigorous men, plus a paper man with infinite strength and self-igniting attack, it is not difficult to deal with a romantic female ghost.
