Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 399 Wang Shi

Wang Shi, a resident of Gaoyuan, went to Boxing to sell salt and was arrested by two people at night. I thought to myself, "There are many salt merchants here who bully the market, raise many thugs, and are not allowed to sell salt privately. Am I unlucky and run into thugs?" Thinking of this, I want to throw away the salt bag and run away. But his body was tightly held by the two of them, and it was difficult to escape.

The two said, "We are not the people in the salt shop, but the ghosts of the underworld." Wang Ten was afraid and knew that he could not escape death. He begged the two ghosts to let him go home and say goodbye to his wife. The second ghost was not allowed and said, "If you go to hell, you may not die. It's just doing some cooli." Wang Shi asked, "Why do you want to work hard?" The second ghost said, "When the new hell king took office in hell, he saw that the Nai River was blocked, and the toilet in the 18th floor of hell was dirty, so he caught three kinds of mortals to dredge the river: thieves, private salt sellers, and private money, all of whom were among them; and he caught musicians to clean the toilet."

Wang Shi followed the two of them on the road to an official office. Seeing that the king of Yanluo was high above, he was count the roster. The second ghost Qi said, "The little one was ordered to arrest the cooli. Fortunately, he didn't humiliate his life. He has brought Wang Shi, a private salt seller." The king of the underside looked at it and saw that Wang Shi was dressed in simple clothes. He said angrily, "Fool, you have caught the wrong person. The private salters evade the national tax and bully the people. As for the salt sellers in the mouth of corrupt officials, they are all good people in the world. In order to make a living, the poor people sell a little private salt in exchange for some small profits. What's the fault? On the one hand, he scolded, and on the other hand, he ordered the two ghosts to atone for their sins. He returned the captured salt bag to Wang Shi, and then bought four buckets of salt and sent them to his home. After that, he left Wang Shi in hell, gave him a quinoa bone, and ordered him to supervise the river worker.

The ghost pawn gave Wang Shi a pill of antidote and took him to the river. In the Nai River, there are as many people as ants. The river is red and smelly. The river workers were naked**, went out of the water, fished for the rotten bones, put them in the basket, and buried them elsewhere. Some corpses were hidden under the water and difficult to pick up, so everyone had to dive into the water to salvage them, covered with filth and tortured.

These river workers were all rich before they were born. They were well-relied. At present, they acted as hard laborers, and they were all exhausted. Many people couldn't stand it and stopped for a moment. The ghosts immediately punched and beat each other.

One of the river workers is a salt merchant who is from Wang Shi's hometown. He has done a lot of evil in his life. Wang Shi has suffered a lot. Now that you find a chance to retaliate, how can you be polite? Holding thistock, he took extra care of the salt merchant, hit his back in the water, and went ashore to knock on his legs. The salt merchant was afraid and often dared not show his head in the water. Wang Shi beat him hard for a few times, his anger was eliminated, and he no longer bothered him.

In the past three days and nights, most of the river workers were killed and injured, and the river was finally dredged. Wang Shi completed the task, and the ghost sent him home and suddenly woke up.

At the beginning, Wang Shi sold salt and didn't return. His wife looked around and found his father-in-law's body on the roadside. She carried it home. There was still a breath and it was not dead. The wife was full of doubts and puzzled. It was not until this moment that Wang Shi recovered that he understood the original.

The salt merchant died on the same day as him. After returning to the sun, he was in pain all over. Where he was beaten, he was sore and rotten, and the smell was very smelly. Wang Shi deliberately went to visit him. When the salt merchant saw him, he trembled all over and hid in the quilt and did not dare to appear. A year later, the salt merchant's condition was cured. After that, he changed his mind and never did his old job again.
