Merchant of the Underworld

Then, the ship owner kept his promise and stuffed the U-shield through the crack of the door.

Then he walked up to me and asked me tremblingly if it was done? I nodded and said don't worry, she will open the door after tonight, unless she wants to die.

But one hour, two hours passed...

We still didn't wait until the boat owner's wife opened the door.

My heart felt cold. This poisonous woman still broke her promise. I don’t know if Banliang’s curse will take effect?

But I obviously underestimated the magic of half a liang.

Just before dawn, I heard a crawling sound outside the door, as if the ship owner's wife was coming.

The ship owner immediately asked: "Has the money been transferred?"

The other party didn't answer and just continued crawling towards the door.

I knew that the shipowner's wife was most likely to have been tricked, so I quickly went to the door to guard her. As soon as she opened the door, I would rush out as soon as possible.

When the crawling sound got closer and closer, I actually found blood flowing in through the crack in the door.

What on earth happened? I'm a little confused.

While I was thinking about it, the door was opened. And the scene that greeted me horrified me.

The ship owner's wife had her entire nose cut off. Every time she breathed, blood spurted out from her nostrils. Her entire face, including her hair, was stained red with blood.

She must have been possessed by a ghost, her eyes were dull, and she just climbed down the stairs stiffly.

I was scared and quickly made way for her.

She looked a little disoriented, like she had no idea what she was doing? After crawling to the corner of the collection room, he curled up and remained motionless, like a dead person.

When the ship owner saw his wife in this state, he had no intention of taking revenge, so he quickly took a few of us out of this narrow underground space.

After I got out, I saw the boat owner about to lock the door, so I stopped him: "What are you doing?"

"What else can be done?" the ship owner said angrily: "This little bitch has hurt me so badly. Keeping her here will be a disaster after all."

"Killing people in broad daylight." I cursed, "Have you thought about the consequences?"

"I have thought about it." The ship owner snorted coldly: "This is her suicide. It has nothing to do with me and it has nothing to do with you. You'd better not get involved in this matter."

After saying that, the ship owner locked the door without hesitation, and then blocked the door again with sand.

I sighed, these two are indeed a couple, one is more ruthless than the other.

Although the shipowner's wife was cruel and deserved her death, we do not have the right to decide a person's life or death.

So after thinking about it, I gave Li Mazi a signal and asked him to secretly call the police.

After waiting for less than ten minutes, the police quickly arrived at the scene, arrested the boat owner, and rescued the boat owner's wife.

The ship owner's wife was carried out by the police. Her blood was bleeding all over the floor. She was lying there motionless. She didn't know whether she was dead or alive?

The tourist boat has also been temporarily sealed, and all tourists have been arranged to other places.

A few of us were in no rush to leave because we hadn't received our pay yet.

If it were in the past, maybe I would rather not be paid than be involved in this murder case.

But this time we suffered a lot, and even almost lost our lives on this ship. It can be said that we paid for this reward with our lives. If I don't cherish it, I guess I will regret it for the rest of my life...

A few days later, the ship owner was released, and his wife was also recuperating in the hospital. Fortunately, he was rushed to the hospital in time and his nose was reattached.

The ship owner’s wife deliberately murdered us. There is video evidence of this and she cannot deny it.

And she cut off her nose, which was a personal act, so it has nothing to do with us.

The owner of the boat even filed a lawsuit in court, claiming that his wife had defrauded him of the tourist boat. In the end, he actually won the lawsuit.

Owning such a tourist boat on the Qinhuai River is a cash cow, so the boat owner did not default on the debt and gave us a dime of money.

As for half a tael, he didn't even dare to keep it secretly, so he took it as a thank you gift.

He was afraid that Banliang would go crazy again, so he promised the little property he had.

After receiving the reward and half a liang, we didn’t dare to stay in Nanjing any longer and drove home the same day.

As for the allusion to Banliang, I only learned about it later.

It turned out that the owner of Banliang was Ji Bu, a famous minister in the Qin and Han Dynasties.

There is a saying in the idiom that it is better to get Jibu Yinuo than to get a thousand taels of gold.

From this point of view, Ji Bu attaches great importance to promises.

It is said that when Ji Bu was very young, he did not keep his promise so much, but lied to others everywhere.

Something happened later that made Ji Bu slowly pay attention to his promise.

When Ji Bu was working as a jailer, he met a prisoner. The prisoner gave Ji Bu one and a half taels of copper and asked him to help him redress his injustice. Ji Bu nodded and agreed.

However, Ji Bu did not tell the prisoner's grievances. As a result, the prisoner was cut in half and cursed Ji Bu for breaking his promise before he died.

The young Ji Bu was shocked by this incident, and secretly vowed in his heart that he would keep his promise in the future, and he would keep half a tael on his body as a warning to himself.

And he did exactly that, becoming a famous official who spoke his mind and leaving a very good reputation in history.

Later, I sold half a tael to a Filipino businessman.

The businessman is considered a leader in the telecommunications industry in the Philippines. He told us that the secret of his success is to keep his promises.

But now his business is getting bigger and bigger, and living in this dirty and gloomy society, he has gradually become more tactful and made many empty promises.

So he bought half a tael to warn himself of the businessman's bottom line.

Nowadays, people's living standards are getting higher and higher, but the Chinese virtues that have been inherited for five thousand years are gradually disappearing.

There are intrigues, deceit and abduction everywhere, and even the occasional incident of keeping a promise will be widely reported in the newspapers.

What's even more ridiculous is that now I have to rely on a ghost to keep myself true to my original intention and keep my promise.

This is the tragedy of society, and even more of the tragedy of mankind!
