Jiujiu looked at the female ghost and thought for a moment before saying, "Chen Ya isn't a good name. You'll be called Chen Ya from now on."
The female ghost raised her head and looked at Jiujiu. Jiujiu's eyes sparkled as if they were filled with little stars as she looked at her. The female ghost's heart instantly warmed up.
The female ghost's lips moved as she nodded at Jiujiu and said, "En, I'll be Chen Ya from now on."
Not only would she have a new life, she would also have a new name. If this was a dream, then she would never wake up.
Because of the small episode of asking for her name, Jiujiu and the female ghost's relationship became more harmonious.
After another month, Jiujiu finally arrived in the capital.
The capital was just as the scholar had said. Every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, especially the inns. They were much more expensive than the inns in the villages. Jiujiu especially liked to stay in the best rooms, which cost half a tael of silver a night.
In order to save money, the little monk finally slept in the same room as Jiujiu. However, he slept on the floor.
However, the little monk had suffered too much. When he was young, because of the stingy abbot, he once had to eat a lump of pickled vegetables for the entire winter. Sleeping on the floor was nothing to him.
After Jiujiu and the little monk settled down, the two of them went out for a meal. Jiujiu asked the female ghost to ask the group of beggar ghosts at the foot of the city wall about which rich and heartless family in the capital.
Find the worst one to scare them, and then use the lowest price to buy the other party's house.
Hearing Jiujiu shamelessly telling her her plan and hearing Jiujiu say with certainty that she was doing this to enforce justice on behalf of the heavens, the female ghost, who did not have any whites in her eyes, rolled her eyes.
Having been with Jiujiu for so long, she knew Jiujiu very well. It was obvious that Jiujiu wanted to live in a good house but didn't have the money to buy one. She wanted to scare the other party so that she could buy a good house at a low price.
Chen Ya expressed that her pair of eyes had long seen through too much.
Chen Ya, who only had eyeballs without any white in her eyes, floated out of the inn. She went to find the beggar's ghost to find out which rich family in the capital was more heartless. Then, she summoned the ghost to scare the owner of that family, so that the three of them would have a place to stay.
As soon as the female ghost left to look for her, Jiujiu dragged Little Monk Qing Feng to wander around the capital.
The capital city was indeed the capital city. The streets here were also much more luxurious than those in other cities.
The two of them strolled around outside for half a day before they returned to the inn.
When they arrived at the inn, the female ghost indicated that she had found a place to stay.
There was a shop about one kilometer away from the inn. The owner was called Wang Renyi.
Wang Renyi's name sounded benevolent and righteous, but when it came to doing things, it was more than just a little bit immoral.
Wang Renyi started his business as a wholesaler of herbs.
The most important thing for a businessman was his reputation. Logically speaking, Wang Renyi should carefully check every batch of herbs in his hands.
However, Wang Renyi was the exact opposite. The bigger his business, the more stingy he was.
When he first started his business, he paid more attention to quality. However, after he made a fortune, he became more and more fond of money.
Not only did he pass off shoddy herbs as good ones, he even cleaned up some of the herbs that had already spoiled and sold them as good ones.
Because Wang Renyi did it secretly and most of the herbs he sold were relatively cheap and used in large quantities, no one noticed the problem until the accident three years ago.
A man took the medicine prescribed by the medical center and died within two days.
It was clearly a non-fatal disease, but the man died. The patient's family directly reported the medical center to the yamen, asking the people in the medical center to pay with their lives.
The doctor in the medical center naturally did not admit it. He said that there was no problem with the prescription he prescribed. It must be the way the other party boiled the medicine that produced the poison and killed the patient.
The two sides were in a deadlock. The apprentice of the medical center proposed to look at the dregs of the medicine.
From the looks of it, it was neither the medical center's problem nor the way the patient's family boiled the medicine. It was the problem with the medicine.
Where did the medicine come from?
It was from Wang Renyi's pharmacy. In this way, the matter of Wang Renyi buying fake medicine was exposed.
Wang Renyi naturally knew that if he was caught, he would be skinned alive even if he didn't die. Thus, he gave a large sum of money to the county magistrate and finally found a beggar to take the blame.
The beggar said that he had been begging for food at the foot of the city wall. Normally, he couldn't even bear to step on an ant. In the end, because of Wang Renyi, he lost his life and became a resentful ghost.
However, the capital was the place where the emperor's son lived. Even if the beggar's resentment soared to the sky, he couldn't do anything to Wang Renyi. Today, when Chen Ya went to ask about it, he told her about his grievances.
At night, Chen Ya brought a large number of ghosts to Wang Renyi's house.
In the murder case three years ago, although the county magistrate said that the beggar had poisoned the patient, who in the capital didn't know what was going on? Therefore, Wang Renyi's pharmacy was completely closed.
However, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if Wang Renyi's herbal shop closed in the past three years, the rent he collected from the shop was enough for his family to live exceptionally well.
When Chen Ya arrived, Wang Renyi was having dinner with his wife.
The beggar who followed Chen Ya and was caught by Wang Renyi as a scapegoat saw Wang Renyi's family eating fish and meat. Then, he thought about how he hadn't eaten a single bite of meat until he died. The resentment on his body soared. If it wasn't for Chen Ya suppressing him, he would have pounced in front of Wang Renyi.
Chen Ya grabbed the beggar ghost's neck and said, "We'll settle the score with him tonight."
Moreover, their goal was to scare Wang Renyi away, not to kill him. If they really wanted to kill him, it wouldn't be too late to do so after they got the house.
After hearing Chen Ya's words, the beggar ghost also thought of his purpose for coming. He forced himself to calm down and obediently stood behind Chen Ya, waiting for the arrival of night.
Late at night, Wang Renyi lay down on the bed with the help of a servant girl as usual. He was about to pull his wife into bed and make love with her. In the end, when he reached out, he did not touch his wife. Instead, he touched a bare bone stick.
Wang Renyi was shocked. He subconsciously turned around and saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
A bare skeleton sat on his wife's body. Only the skull with hair opened and closed. It kept shouting, "Give me back my life, give me back my life."
When Wang Renyi did bad things, he was very straightforward. However, when he saw a ghost, he was instantly terrified.
With a rustling sound, Wang Renyi was so scared that he peed his pants.
However, the skeleton didn't stop because Wang Renyi peed his pants. It continued to crawl towards Wang Renyi.
