Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 75 We Are Escorts
He family.

Monk Pu Ming walked out of the room tremblingly. His face was pale and he could hardly stand.

In the room, He Yunqing and He Yunlu were surrounded by Buddha's light.

However, the Buddha's light on He Yunqing is even stronger.

The Buddha's light on He Yunlu's body is far inferior to that on He Yunqing's.

"Master, how is it?" Mr. He asked anxiously.

Monk Fayuan hurriedly helped Monk Puming up. Monk Puming said weakly, "Miss He is very smart and has a connection with Buddha. She has already entered the tenth rank, but Master He..."

Monk Puming coughed dryly, with a look of pain on his face.

It was easy for Monk Puming to give He Yunqing the initiation. He also felt that the temple had made a lot of money on this mission.

After all, it’s one thousand taels!

One thousand taels of silver can build a small temple of comparable size.

As for the big temples, Jinhua Temple just needs to develop slowly.

However, when it came to He Yunlu, Monk Puming felt that he had lost a lot. He spent half his life but failed to raise He Yunlu's cultivation to the tenth level.

Although He Yunlu has the spiritual power of Buddhism, he has not reached the highest level.

"Young Master He is entangled in karma. Please forgive me for my incompetence. I can only let him feel the spiritual energy but not allow him to enter the realm of spiritual energy." Monk Pu Ming said.

Monk Pu Ming was still too conservative. He Yunlu was very violent and had a dirty mind. He was not a Buddhist at all.

It was not easy for Pu Ming to make him feel the spiritual energy.

There was some disappointment in Mr. He's eyes. He didn't expect this result.

Mr. He is planning to transfer his soul to He Yunqing and He Yunlu, among whom He Yunlu is the one he wants to possess the most.

That's why Master He gave the two of them initiations to improve their cultivation.

Mr. He wanted to be able to have cultivation after he was reborn by taking over another body.

The fact of the female ghost really scared Mr. He.

"Hurry up and help the master to rest." Master He said hurriedly. Pu Ming is an eighth-rank master and is very famous in several nearby counties.

Mr. He was very polite to Pu Ming, after all, he might be of use to him in the future.

"You're welcome." Pu Ming waved his hand and let Fa Yuan take him away.

Fa Yuan was a little surprised. This was too hasty.

But after all, he was his uncle, so Fa Yuan had no choice but to obey and leave.

The two men took one thousand two taels of silver and left.

In front of the He family’s house.

"Uncle Master, why are we in such a hurry to leave?" Fa Yuan said with some complaints. If we stay one more night, at least we can get some food.

Pu Ming frowned and said, "There is something wrong with the He family. Besides ghosts, there must be something else. I can sense that there is something strange and powerful in the backyard of the He family."

Fa Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. His uncle was not good at handling worldly affairs, but he had a high level of cultivation.

Since Pu Ming said that there is something wrong with the He family, it would be better for him to leave first.

Rouge shop.

"Zhou Ping, are you really not going?" asked Engineer Yuan.

Zhou Ping said: "I won't go. I still have to protect people."

After Wang Cheng became the chief constable of Qinghe County, he held a banquet and invited all the prominent people in Qinghe County to attend.

In theory, Zhou Ping and Yuan Gong are not qualified enough to attend the banquet.

However, the two had a life-and-death friendship with Wang Cheng during the human trafficker case, so they were able to attend.

"Brother Yuan, when the time comes, ask Captain Wang to find me a man named Goudan from Qingyuan County." Zhou Ping said.

Goudan is dead, and he is at the He family.

But Zhou Ping had no way to explain this matter, he couldn't expose himself.

So Zhou Ping wanted to find Goudan through official channels.

Zhou Ping didn't know whether he would get any reward after completing his mission since the recipient had died.

Even if there is no reward, Zhou Ping wants to reveal the truth about Goudan.

Thinking of his mother, who was gray-haired and slightly hunched, Zhou Ping felt a little bit sorry for her.

The mother was still worried about her son, but he had already turned into a corpse.

The white-haired man sends the black-haired man.

Engineer Yuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you really want to ask Captain Wang to find this person?"

Yuan Gong knew about Goudan's matter. It was just a torn piece of clothing.

"Zhou Ping, Captain Wang is the chief of a county. We have some favors towards him, but they are becoming less and less," Engineer Yuan reminded.

Mr. Yuan’s meaning was very clear: Captain Wang owed them both favors.

But favors should not be used for this.

For a county constable, this favor could be worth a lot.

For example, both the black and white worlds will collect protection fees from shops.

But thanks to Captain Wang's favor, no one dared to touch the shop again.

This favor is worth at least dozens of taels of silver.

"Zhou Ping, how much did you receive for giving away a piece of clothing?" Engineer Yuan said again.

Mr. Yuan doesn't want Zhou Ping to use his favor for this.

Zhou Ping said: "At that time, I felt sorry for the old lady, so I didn't charge her any money."

Engineer Yuan said anxiously, "If you don't get paid, you can't do this. At worst, you can just return the clothes later."

Mr. Yuan didn't want Zhou Ping to waste a favor.

Zhou Ping smiled calmly: "Brother Yuan, we are escorts."

Mr. Yuan sighed, knowing that Zhou Ping had made up his mind, and stopped trying to persuade him.

Wang Cheng was extremely happy when he heard that Zhou Ping was looking for Goudan.

First of all, I was repaying Zhou Ping for his kindness.

Secondly, Wang Cheng had long wanted to find a reason to deal with the He family.

Of course, after the chief constable was appointed, County Magistrate Lu hinted to Wang Cheng several times that he should find an opportunity to deal with several wealthy families in Qinghe County.

The small vendors don't make much money at all.

Only by dealing with these rich families can we make some money.

The He family was the first to be hit because it was the richest family in the county.

Wang Cheng was very efficient. He mobilized the yamen runners and local thugs to find a beggar.

The beggar is from Qingyuan County and is a childhood friend of Goudan.

The two came to Qinghe County together to find work.

It’s just that the strong Goudan was taken away by He Yunlu, but the beggar was not.

Since Goudan was taken away, the beggar has never seen him again.

Wang Cheng had a feeling that there was something fishy about this matter, so he took the beggar straight to the He family.

He's backyard.

Mr. He looked at the stone bed tremblingly, drooling from the corners of his mouth.

He Yunlu suppressed his nausea and wiped Mr. He's saliva.

Captain Leng and Zhang Sheng were also in the room.

"Uncle, don't you want to restore your vigor? Take me with you. I see there are two beds upstairs." He Yunlu said flatteringly.

He Yunlu killed six people in order to build a house in the backyard!

In He Yunlu's opinion, he is the most qualified person to lie on the stone bed and regain his glory.

But He Yunlu didn't know that these two beds were not used to turn embroidery needles into iron pestles, but to transfer souls and take over bodies.

"Okay, let's go together." said Mr. He.

He Yunlu lay happily on the stone bed, not feeling anything unusual at all.

Mr. He looked at He Yunlu and chuckled.

The laughter was a bit creepy, and it made He Yunlu's scalp tingle.

"Uncle, what's wrong? What are you laughing at?" He Yunlu couldn't help but ask. Although he felt something was wrong, he didn't know what was wrong.

However, thinking about being able to return to his peak form, He Yunlu didn't think too much about it.

Mr. He sighed: "It's still good to be young."

As he sighed, he touched He Yunlu's body. His dry hands moved from He Yunlu's head to his waist, and then to his crotch.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. He grabbed the "weapon" around He Yunlu's waist.

"Uncle, what is this for?" He Yunlu was a little at a loss. He quickly took Mr. He's hand away and said, "Uncle, in a little while, you will have this thing."

It’s not that Mr. He doesn’t have it, it’s just that it became unusable early on.

Mr. He chuckled again: "Yes, this thing will be available soon."

After saying this, Mr. He lay down on the stone bed.

Zhang Sheng brought a bowl of soup to the two men, and they drank it immediately.

After drinking it, they both fell into a deep sleep quickly.

"He Yunlu is such a hopeless idiot. In such a weird situation, he still believes in regaining his glory." Captain Leng mocked.

He Yunlu thought he was the one eating the dish at the table, but in fact he was the dish.

Mr. He wants to take over his body.

Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "That's why we are trying so hard to help Mr. He. After all, Mr. He is an old fox. With him around, we can do business better. You and I can't do this. Different trades are like different mountains."

Captain Leng disagreed: "He is just a lowly businessman, but you make him sound so powerful."

The merchants in the Wei Dynasty were still at the lowest level. Although they could earn a lot of money, they had no political status.

"What a pity! I thought he was going to choose He Yunqing." Zhang Sheng sighed, "I was thinking of becoming his in-law."

Captain Leng felt a chill.

The soul transfer technique requires blood relatives, so Mr. He’s best choice should be He Yunqing.

However, Mr. He chose He Yunlu.

He Yunlu is Mr. He’s biological nephew, but the blood relationship is more distant.

Soul transference is best for close relatives.

The two of them have reminded Master He that although the soul transfer technique can make people have a younger body, the soul and body are not original after all, so there will be a rejection reaction.

The closer the blood relative, the less likely the rejection reaction will be.

Although more distant blood relatives can also be successful, the rejection reaction is greater and the body cannot last too long.

When Captain Leng thought about the fact that there was a man's soul in a woman's body, his interest in women suddenly decreased.

"When will that gentleman arrive?" asked Captain Leng.

Zhang Sheng was about to answer when his face suddenly changed and he quickly knelt on the ground.

It’s a bit inappropriate to say “kneeling”, it should be said “prone”.

Zhang Zheng lay on the ground with his head buried in the ground, not daring to look up at all.

Captain Leng also quickly imitated Zhang Sheng's behavior.

The two of them don't know how to transfer souls, the ones who do know how to transfer souls are the people above them.

This man is extremely powerful, so powerful that he can kill someone with just one look.

The cold captain lowered his head, unable to see the man's face, nor did he have the courage to look. According to what Zhang Sheng said, anyone who saw the true face of this gentleman would die.

Although he didn't know what the person looked like, he knew it was a woman.

Captain Leng couldn't see the woman's body, he could only see one ankle.

But just by looking at the ankle, Captain Leng knew that the other person was a woman, because the ankle was very white, like mutton-fat jade.

Even the feet can make people excited.

Especially the fragrance emanating from the woman's body, which makes people's blood boil.

He's front yard.

Wang Cheng brought a few yamen runners and beggars to find the He family.

Wang Cheng’s purpose was simple: to find fault with the He family.

He Yunqing was accompanying him.

"Captain Wang, why are you here?" He Yunqing smiled apologetically and took out a dozen taels of silver from his pocket, "Give the brothers some tea."

He Yunqing could see that Captain Wang had come with ill intentions.

However, Captain Wang just took a glance and then looked away.

A dozen taels of silver? Send away beggars? Everyone knows that your He family is rich.

He Yunqing accepted the money awkwardly, but she felt very frustrated. After all, this is a man's society, and I am a woman, so does he dislike me?
He Yunqing guessed wrong.

Wang Cheng didn't dislike her because she was a woman, but because she had little money.

"Is there a guy named Goudan working for the He family recently?" Wang Cheng asked.

He Yunqing frowned. Goudan? Zhou Ping had also asked this person, is there any connection?

"Captain Wang, I know all the male and female servants in the He family very well, and there is no such person as Goudan." He Yunqing said.

He Yunqing knew all the affairs of the He family, big and small, and there was indeed no such person.

There are indeed a few people doing flexible work in the backyard, but they are under the supervision of He Yunlu.

He Yunqing asked He Yunlu, and He Yunlu said there was no such person.

Wang Cheng brought the beggar up and said, "Speak."

"To answer your question, Master He Yunlu took Goudan away. I saw it with my own eyes," said the beggar.

He Yunqing was slightly surprised. Could this person really be in the He family?

But why did He Yunlu lie to me that there was no such person?
"Someone, come here, search until you find this dog egg." Wang Cheng ordered his runners to search He's house.

Wang Cheng didn't believe it. He thought that even if he turned the entire He family upside down, he still couldn't find any problems.

After all, he has been a detective for many years and he still has some means of finding problems.

Even if there is no problem, won't they frame you?
Putting two pornographic books in the He family is a big deal!

He Yunqing remained silent, she also wanted to know what had happened.

Especially since Mr. He is very old and will soon die.

He Yunlu and He Yunqing are a competing concern.

There were many rumors among the servants that Mr. He intended to hand over the He family to He Yunlu instead of his own daughter after a hundred years.

The bailiffs searched the He family and returned soon.

"Sir, there are several servants guarding the He family's backyard and they won't let us in." said a yamen runner.

Wang Cheng raised his eyebrows, knowing that something had happened.

He brought the yamen runners to the backyard.

He Yunqing did not stop them and followed them to the backyard.

Sure enough, there were a few servants standing there lazily with sticks in their hands.

He Yunqing could tell at a glance that these slaves were all under the command of He Yunlu.

These evil slaves usually rely on He Yunlu's power to tease young girls and beat honest people in the He family. They are used to being arrogant.

"You can't come in." said a servant.

Wang Cheng frowned and kicked several people to the ground.

He Yunqing felt secretly happy. She also wanted to know what secrets were in the backyard.

The male servants had never seen such a scene before and made way.

Wang Cheng brought his men to the backyard.

"Oh, what wind brings Captain Wang here?" He Yunlu laughed heartily.

He Yunqing was slightly stunned when she saw He Yunlu. She felt that He Yunlu had changed a little.

He Yunqing couldn't tell what had changed, but she just felt that He Yunlu had changed.

He Yunlu was very frivolous, but at this moment he seemed extremely calm and mature.

"Someone said that a young man named Goudan disappeared while working in your house. I'm here to look for him." Wang Cheng waved his hand, and several yamen runners re-entered the house.

"what!"

"Bad luck! Damn it!"

Several yamen runners walked out of the room, their faces full of gloom.

"Boss, there is nothing in the room, just two stone beds and Mr. He's body." said a bailiff.

He Yunqing's heart trembled slightly: "My lord, what did you say?"

The bailiff glanced at He Yunqing.

"Your father is dead."
