Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 186 Bu Ke

Someone in Changqing, selling cloth for a living. By chance, I passed by Tai'an. I heard that there was a warlock here who was extremely accurate in fortune-telling, so I went to visit him and asked him to divination. The warlock said, "Your luck is too bad. Go home quickly." Someone was afraid and carried the goods to the north. On the way, I met a man in short clothes, who seemed to be a servant, and they spoke with each other and were happy. Whenever I eat, someone takes the initiative to treat and buys wine and food for the servants to share. The servants are very grateful.

When someone asked about the purpose of the trip, the servant said, "I was ordered to go to Changqing and take the soul." Someone asked, "What kind of people are there?" The servant showed the ultimatum and said, "The list is all on it. You can read it yourself." Someone stared and saw that the first place on the ultimatum was his name. He was terrify and asked, "Why did you arrest me?"

The government official said, "I am a ghost official, and I belong to the Fourth Division of Shandong Province. I think the prince's life is over. Someone cried, "Is there any help?" The servant said, "Fate is doomed by heaven and cannot be changed. However, there are many lists of ultimatums, and it will take a few days to catch them. The prince went home quickly and took up the afterthought. The last time I catch you is to repay the hospitality.

Not a few, the two came to the river. The bridge on the river was cut off and pedestrians were blocked. The servator said, "The prince is going to die anyway, and the money is useless. It's better to build a bridge. Although it costs a lot, it's always a merit, and there will be good rewards. Someone thought so. When he went back, he explained the matter to his wife and immediately hired a craftsman to repair the bridge. After a long time, the yamen did not come.

Someone had doubts in his heart. One day, the government official suddenly visited and said, "Prince Xiuqiao Jide, I have reported this matter to Pluto. Pluto specially extended the life of the prince because of your good deeds. The list of ultimatum has been cancelled. I'm here to inform you. Someone was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.

Later, someone returned to Tai'an and remembered the servant's kindness. He specially prepared incense paper, burned and worshipped, and called the name of the servant. Suddenly, the servist hurried to complain, "The prince almost killed me. Just then, when I was dealing with Pluto on official business, I suddenly heard you shouting. Fortunately, Pluto didn't hear it. Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable. He saw someone leave and said, "Don't come again." If I have something to do in Changqing, I will visit. After saying goodbye, he left.
