Chapter 85 My father has been dead for eighteen years

Meng Banxian lives in the central area of ​​Fucheng. He also built his own house, and it is very beautiful. It is a two-story Western-style building with rockery and flowing water garden in the yard. It is obvious that he is from a wealthy family.

This guy is considered a legendary figure in Fucheng. His nickname used to be Meng Laizi. You can tell from the name that he is not a promising person. Meng Banxian is in his early fifties, but before he was forty-five, he was still called Meng Laizi.

Meng Laizi had achieved nothing in the first forty-five years of his life. He lived in the old house left by his parents and did not even have the money to repair the roof. He was idle all day long and was disliked everywhere. His parents married him a wife before they died, but after a few years, the wife ran away with someone else.

His parents were so angry about their useless son that they fell ill in bed and died within a few years. Then, the guy named Meng suddenly became weird and told people that he had received guidance from the Bodhisattva and had seen through the secrets of heaven. He knew half of what was in heaven and all of it on earth.

No one believed him at first, but this guy really had some ability. He told fortunes for the neighbors and they were quite accurate. Gradually, he became famous, and more and more customers came to him, even people from the neighboring county would come to him.

Meng Laizi also became Meng Banxian. The old house was demolished and a two-story Western-style building was built. The bald and ugly Meng Banxian married a beautiful young wife who was twenty years younger than him. She also gave birth to a big fat son for him. Meng Laizi, who was once disliked by everyone, became a winner in life that everyone envied.

There was a plaque hanging at the door of the Meng family with "Meng Mansion" written on it, which looked very respectable. Jiang Hanyan sneered, thinking it was just being mysterious and pretentious.

"Go in and do as I say."

He Dan and Lin Xianghong were a little nervous. They would have no problem fighting, but they were afraid that this would require thinking and would affect their sister-in-law's business.

"Why are you so nervous? Just talk less and keep calm." Jiang Hanyan said.

"Why."

The two men nodded, took out sunglasses from their pockets and put them on. Their temperament changed immediately, and they had a bit of the aura of gangsters.

Lin Xianghong walked in front with a swagger, and He Dan followed behind, looking like a bodyguard. There were several guests in the yard, surrounding a bald old man with a ruddy face, and all of them looked respectful.

The old man was none other than Meng Banxian. He was reading the palms of a guest and talking to him. Lin Xianghong and the other person were making quite a noise, so Meng Banxian and the guest all looked at them.

"Boss, sit here."

He Dan attentively brought a stool and asked Lin Xianghong to sit down, and said: "Boss, don't worry, this Meng Banxian is very smart, he will definitely know your father's situation, and he will be able to report to your mother when he returns."

"Is it really that powerful?" Lin Xianghong asked expressionlessly.

"It's amazing. I've asked around and found out that Meng Banxian is the most intelligent in the whole city. I also heard people say that if Meng Banxian's calculations are not accurate, he will have to pay people a thousand yuan in compensation!" He Dan said naively.

The other waiting guests spoke up, saying that Meng Banxian was indeed a wise man, and that the compensation price had increased from one thousand yuan to two thousand yuan.

It turned out that in order to attract business and show off his ability, Meng Banxian had made a statement that if the calculation was not accurate, he would have to pay a thousand yuan, but until now, no one had asked Meng Banxian for the money.

First, Meng Banxian is indeed a good fool. He can tell the truth from the false, the false from the true, and one sentence can have many interpretations. We cannot say that he is wrong.

The second reason is that many people do not want to offend people like Meng Banxian who are from the Xuanmen sect. If he does something behind their back, they will die without knowing how.

He Dan smiled innocently and said, "Boss, you see you have already paid two thousand yuan, it must be a good idea. Ask Meng Banxian later how your father is doing."

"Um."

Lin Xianghong sat upright and responded expressionlessly, looking very imposing.

Meng Banxian saw this and was secretly delighted. This was the God of Wealth who had come to his doorstep.

It is easiest to fool people like this who ask about their recent situation. It must be that their father has run away or that their husband and wife have had a conflict. They may not have seen each other for many years. He can trick them into giving him some money by using tricks and lies.

Finally it was Lin Xianghong's turn. Meng Banxian pretended to look at his face and palm, then asked slowly, "Do you want to ask about your father's recent situation?"

"Yes, my mother dreamed about my father these days and wanted to know how he was doing." Lin Xianghong said.

"You haven't seen your father for some years, right?" Meng Banxian asked.

"It's been seventeen or eighteen years, and I can't even remember what my father looked like. People say you are very smart, so tell me how my father is doing now?" Lin Xianghong suppressed her laughter and asked according to Jiang Hanyan's instructions.

He Dan on the side shouted: "You should calculate carefully. My boss is very rich. If you calculate correctly, he will definitely give you a big red envelope."

Meng Banxian smiled slightly and said in a mysterious way, "Let me calculate it."

Then he pinched his fingers quickly a few times and muttered something, but no one knew what he was saying. The other guests gathered around curiously, wanting to know what Meng Banxian would say.

Finally, Meng Banxian stopped chanting, opened his eyes, shook his head, and sighed, "Your father's condition is not good!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"What happened to my father? Is he not living well?" Lin Xianghong looked anxious.

"Don't worry, let me calculate it carefully. But let me make it clear first, this calculation consumes a lot of energy and will shorten your life. The divination resources are different from others." Meng Banxian said with difficulty.

"The price of divination is not a problem. Any amount is fine as long as you can know my father's condition. Please calculate it quickly." Lin Xianghong's tone was very urgent, which played into Meng Banxian's hands. It was easiest to cheat money from customers like this.

Meng Banxian pretended to calculate again. After a long time, he looked exhausted and said tiredly, "I finally figured it out. Your father is not far away from you and your son. He just has a knot in his heart, so he doesn't want to go home. You can look for your father in the east, in the city with water, and you will definitely find him."

Lin Xianghong's expression suddenly changed and he clenched his fists. He Dan had a strange expression on his face and stared blankly at Meng Banxian.

"Looking for my father in the city with water in the east? Why did he go there?" Lin Xianghong's tone was a little strange, but Meng Banxian didn't notice it. He smiled and said, "Maybe he had some conflicts with your mother. Let me explain in more detail. The city on the east side of the sea has water in its name. Don't look for it in a small county. Look for it in a big city. As long as you are sincere, you will definitely find your father."

But I was thinking in my heart that Shanghai and Hangzhou are both large coastal cities. Finding someone out of them is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. If I can't find anyone, it means that this guy is not sincere. Anyway, he has already pointed out the way, so it cannot be said that he was inaccurate.

"My father is in a coastal city? He's still alive, right?" Lin Xianghong asked again, his tone even weirder.

Meng Banxian sensed something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it and said affirmatively, "He's alive and well, don't worry."

"Don't worry, my father has been dead for 18 years. You've cheated me out of my money, and you didn't even go out and find out who I am!"

Lin Xianghong jumped up angrily, punched the small table in front of Meng Banxian, and glared at the guy.

I will update it during the day. Good night 　　 　 (end of this chapter)
