Chapter 42
The villagers in Zhangjia Village all looked at Chen Jiangtao in surprise.
"Haha, classmate Chen, you said such a ruthless thing..." Village chief Zhang Erfu looked around: "Although you really caught a few bad guys in our village, we do thank you. But if you rely on this, you want to insult our Zhang family's ancestors, I will not agree to it first!"
The crowd was excited.
People in the village who were surrounded by Zhang Erfu, all looked at Chen Jiangtao angrily, while several other families in the village who were not surnamed Zhang surrounded Chen Jiangtao and kept saying good things.
Chen Jiangtao waved his hand: "I am not a traitor, nor do I want to insult anyone."
"Then what you said just now?" Zhang Erfu looked at Chen Jiangtao with his eyes squinted: "You... did you say that our ancestors tell us that this is not an insult to the deceased ancestors?"
Chen Jiangtao shook his head: "There is no such intention. What I said is: Let the ancestor of the Zhang family tell you that the evil ghost no longer exists."
"Okay!" Zhang Erfu smiled grimly and threw the wine bowl in his hand into Chen Jiangtao: "If I can't explain this clearly today, I will definitely not let you go."
Unexpectedly, this situation would turn out to be the case. Yu Xu's family of three, Miao Li and Zhang Min were all scared.
Chen Jiangtao was not afraid at all. He stood up and said, "The heaven and earth have spirits, and the ancestors of the Zhang family are blessed. The location of Zhangjia Village is a place of auspicious land of four symbols, and it should be shared by all families."
"Today, I will let the ancestor of the Zhang family tell you what evil ghosts do not exist at all." Chen Jiangtao paused and added: "But from now on, people with the surname Zhang should not be despised or bullied other people who are not surname Zhang, and don't ask anyone to do the money donated this year. They will be returned to everyone who donated. How about it?"
Zhang Erfu nodded: "Okay, let alone the Zhang people in Zhangjia Village have never despised or bullied others who are not Zhang, but since you said that, I will agree to you on behalf of the Zhang people. The money donated will be returned to each household as much as possible."
"Yeah." Chen Jiangtao then respectfully stepped forward, lit an incense stick at the tablet of the Zhang family ancestor, then stood an egg on the ground, and said, "The deceased family ancestor cannot speak. If the evil ghost has been removed, the egg will be broken."
Looking at the eggs on the ground, everyone in the Zhang family thought, how could the good eggs break?
"Hmph." Zhang Erfu looked at Chen Jiangtao with a mocking look on his face: "Okay, as long as people don't touch it, it can really be broken for no reason. It must be the appearance of our ancestors."
"Okay!" Chen Jiangtao picked up a bowl of wine and poured it on the front of the ancestral tablet of the family: "A bowl of wine is toast the ancestors of the Zhang family. Please tell the people of Zhangjia Village that the evil ghosts have been eliminated!"
After saying that, Chen Jiangtao threw the wine bowl to the west.
Then we heard a rumbling sound, as if a heavy wheel was rolling over. The villagers quickly retreated in horror, and saw a stone millstone rolling over quickly, rolling over the egg, and the egg suddenly became shattered.
"ah!"
The villagers looked at each other, and Zhang Erfu was stunned, but he immediately argued: "It was just a chance! It must be that the stone millstone was not put in a steady state, so this cannot be counted."
"Okay, then this is accidental." Chen Jiangtao put another egg on the ground, picked up another bowl of wine, and poured it on: "A bowl of wine to the ancestors of the Zhang family are virtuous. Please tell the people of Zhangjia Village that the evil ghosts have been eliminated!"
Chen Jiangtao threw the bowl to the east again.
The rumbling sound rang again, a stone millstone rolled over and then crushed the second egg that was placed there.
The villagers were completely stunned, and several elderly people even knelt down to the tablet: "The ancestor of the family appeared, and the ancestor of the family appeared!"
"This, this..." Zhang Erfu was speechless and lowered his voice unwillingly, saying, "It must be a coincidence! This stone millstone was not steadily put."
"Okay, then this is a coincidence." Chen Jiangtao then put a third egg on the ground, picked up a bowl of wine again, poured it on the face of the village chief Zhang Erfu, and then threw it over again: "A bowl of wine teaches the descendants of the Zhang family a lesson for their descendants to do evil deeds. Please tell the people of Zhang family that the evil ghosts have been eliminated!"
Zhang Erfu was immediately furious. Several villagers next to him who usually work for the village chief rushed forward viciously, trying to beat Chen Jiangtao.
At this time, the rumbling sound was shaking, and another stone millstone rolled over and was about to crush the third egg. However, Zhang Erfu turned around and pounced on him, wanting to hug the stone millstone.
Unexpectedly, the stone millstone stopped there all at once. The village chief pushed forward and threw himself to the ground without applying any force. His face just hit the egg on the ground.
The eggs were crushed, and Zhang Erfu's face was covered with egg sauce and eggshells.
"What a shameless face." Chen Jiangtao looked at the embarrassing village chief and said contemptuously.
Looking at the other villagers in Zhangjia Village, they all knelt on the ground and shouted: "The ancestor of the family appears, and the ancestor of the family appears!"
What else did Zhang Erfu want to say? He lifted a cane and hit him hard. The man was Zhang Erfu's father, Dad Zhang.
While calling, Mr. Zhang was crying: "Unworthy descendants! Unworthy descendants! Your lard is so funny! The ancestor of the family appeared three times, and you even whispered by chance on the left and whispered by coincidence on the right! In order to avoid the money that defies virtue, your ancestors don't want it anymore!"
Those villagers surnamed Zhang who usually work for the village chief were also taught a lesson by their respective families.
Yu Xu, who had followed Chen Jiangtao to move the millstone with his eyes full of admiration when he looked at Chen Jiangtao. Unexpectedly, Chen Jiangtao put down the millstone for this purpose before.
Afterwards, Chen Jiangtao, Miao Li and Zhang Min were invited by people from Zhangjia Village to visit their homes. They were not until the holiday was collected on May 5 that they returned to Qing'an City with large bags of local specialties.
Chen Jiangtao and his group smelled the smoke coming from their noses as soon as they got off the car.
"How come there is such a strong smell of smoke? Cough cough cough!" Miao Li asked with her hand in front of her nose.
At this time, I heard a few pedestrians rushing around me talking: "Why do you think this Great Wall Hotel is going to catch fire? The fire is still so big..."
"Who said no? The Binhai community collapsed for no reason before, but now the Great Wall Hotel is inexplicably on fire. It has been burning for a while for a few days. The big bosses in both places are Zhang Tianyu. It seems that Boss Zhang is going to be in trouble..."
"Zhang Tianyu? Isn't this the one with a good relationship with Mo Tian? This is his restaurant?" Chen Jiangtao asked Miao Li and Zhang Min to go back first and then run to the place with heavy smoke.
When we arrived at the Great Wall Hotel, the fire had been controlled, and only some smoke was still emitting.
Originally, a restaurant that was more than 20 stories high had been burned to almost ruins. The original landmark-like rooftop Great Wall Hotel was burned to the point of only four words "long", "big" and "hotel".
Chen Jiangtao still remembers that when he came here last time, the hotel business was very popular. At that time, Zhang Zhiguo had briefly taught Chen Jiangtao: the hotel door faces south, and the door is opened in the gossip. There are no pointed buildings in front of it, which will not cause any conflict.
