Xie Jingtang's inner thoughts just now told her the whole truth.
Xie's father has been running a side business of prostitution, gambling and drugs, and has earned a considerable income.
But most of the income was given to his mother, Xu.
In fact, Xie Jingtang did not originally do this despicable business.
Several years ago, several shops he ran were burned down in the war, and the furs and other goods shipped from the north were looted along the way.
The Xie family almost lost everything, and Xie Jingtang's hair turned white overnight.
At this time, mother Xu ran to the Black Dragon Temple to make a wish, vowing that if the Black Dragon God could help the Xie family come back to life, she would be willing to donate 80% of the profits from her earnings to the Black Dragon Temple.
After making the wish, Xu didn't pay much attention. It was only after returning to Xie's house that she discovered there was an extra note in her sachet.
The note had three names written on it, asking Xie Jingtang to go to the provincial capital to find these three people, and his business would be revived.
Xu immediately kowtowed several times towards the Black Dragon Temple and vowed to keep her promise. Even if the Black Dragon God wanted something else, she could give it up.
Xie Jingtang went to the provincial capital to find the three people half-believing and half-doubting.
The three men were the leaders of the local brothel, casino and opium den.
When these three heard that it was the Black Dragon God who sent Xie Jingtang, they immediately let Xie Jingtang invest and started the subsequent side business.
Xie Jingtang didn't expect that normal business was difficult to do in troubled times, but side businesses were extremely prosperous.
However, Xu warned him that 80% of the money he earned must be donated to the Black Dragon Temple.
Xie Jingtang had no choice but to do as he was told, and he never asked about the whereabouts of Xu's money over the years.
Five years ago, Xu asked the monks of the Black Dragon Temple to build a small shrine dedicated to Leizu in the backyard. She told Xie Jingtang that this was what the Black Dragon God asked her to do.
Xie Jingtang was skeptical, but since he was making money easily, he didn't ask any more questions.
Until three months ago, he suddenly had a dream.
In the dream, Leizu from the small ancestral hall in the backyard of Xie's house suddenly came to life and came to his mansion in the provincial capital. She stood directly in front of his and his concubine's bed and spoke to him.
Mrs. Xu's life is coming to an end, so it would be better to borrow her body while her soul is still useful.
Xie Jingtang felt that the dream was extremely real. The face of Leizu depicted on the wood actually gave him a strange smile.
Ever since he woke up, he has been wondering how wood can have expressions.
Of course, in the dream, Xie Jingtang did not agree to the puppet statue's request at all, but he did not dare to refuse.
Lei Zu smiled and said, "Since you remain silent, I will take it as your approval of my opinion."
"You will receive a huge income today, which will be considered as my reward to you. This deal will take effect and cannot be changed."
Xie Jingtang was covered in cold sweat when he woke up.
There was nothing in front of the bed, and the concubine beside him was still snoring. Everything seemed like a dream.
However, early in the morning of this day, a message suddenly came from his opium den. A mysterious man had ordered a large amount of opium from his opium den and would deliver it two months later. He also paid the full amount directly, which was three boxes of silver ingots.
Although this era has entered a new era of abolishing feudal dynasties, silver dollars are still used as circulating currency in the market.
However, the silver ingots of the previous dynasty were hard currency and were much more valuable than the silver dollars issued by the current warlords.
Xie Jingtang rushed to the opium den and looked at the three boxes full of silver ingots. He suddenly remembered the dream he had in the middle of the night.
The person who placed the order had already left, leaving behind a huge fortune, which was the deal between Leizu and him.
Once a transaction takes effect, it cannot be reversed.
But the price of the deal was the life of his mother, Xu.
Xie Jingtang was extremely frightened, but he did not dare to unilaterally cancel the deal he had made with Leizu. He had to rush back to Xie's house and ask Xu to go to the Black Dragon Temple to burn incense on his behalf.
Mrs. Xu never expected that she was the one who tried to save her son from bankruptcy, but in the end she was framed by her own son and lost her life.
But it was not that she completely lost her life. It was just that after the car accident, another spirit appeared in the old lady's body.
After the old lady was possessed, she immediately asked Xie Jingtang to go to the Zhang family to meet the head of the Zhang family and proposed to fulfill the child marriage that the two old men had arranged many years ago.
Moreover, the old lady was worried that things would get complicated if things went on for too long, so she asked Xie Jingtang to bring his future granddaughter-in-law to the Xie Mansion a month before the wedding.
But I didn’t expect Zhang Wanrou to be even more ruthless and directly found a substitute.
That's how Wu Fei came.
After learning all this from Xie Jingtang's inner world, Wu Fei fell into deep thought.
Leizu's purpose is still unclear, but judging from Xie Jingtang's experience, it is likely that more than one person in the world has been coerced and bribed by her.
However, in order to prevent people from investigating the root cause of Xu's misfortune, Leizu actually burned down the Black Dragon Temple.
The price is too high.
The only explanation is that the Black Dragon Temple is no longer of any use to her.
So Wu Fei didn't plan to go to Black Dragon Temple to investigate.
She looked coldly at Xie Jingtang, who was kneeling on the ground and sweating profusely. "But do you know what kind of servants and maids the old lady is currently employing in the main house?"
Xie Jingtang frowned tightly, and after a while he said, "I know..."
In fact, after he started doing side business, he noticed changes in the servants in the main house.
At that time, he was very worried about Xu's safety and even sent people to follow her for a few days.
But later he found that his mother had not changed and was not in danger of death.
Xie Jingtang turned a blind eye to what was happening in the main house.
"Hmph, you are so brave that you dare to live in the hands of the evil god!" Wu Fei sneered.
Human greed is endless, and in the end, people are willing to sacrifice the lives of their families.
No wonder this house was chosen by Eve as the model for the final copy. There is a reason for that.
"By the way, did the old lady give any special reasons for insisting on the marriage between the Xie and Zhang families?"
"I'm not very clear about this. After all, she... won't tell me everything." Xie Jingtang told the truth.
Leizu would not do anything in vain. The marriage between the Xie and Zhang families must be beneficial to her.
After hearing what Xie Jingtang said, Wu Fei felt that he should start with the small ancestral hall.
According to Xie Jingtang, Xu's life span was coming to an end, so she should have very little time of her own, and most of the time her body was occupied by Leizu.
Every time at the right time, Leizu would automatically leave Xu's body and come back after a while.
How long will it take?
Wu Fei was wondering whether she should take advantage of this critical moment to kill her!
"In your dream three months ago, did Leizu tell you how long your mother would live?"
Xie Jingtang thought for a moment and said, "It's said that it's less than half a year, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to use it."
As for how to use it, he didn't know either.
Wu Fei frowned: "Could it be related to her rush to get Xie Qing married?"
Xie Jingtang was stunned for a moment: "Maybe that's possible."
