MTL - The Alternate World Is Too Dangerous: I Hide In Reality And Rule!-Chapter 70 The underworld handles the case, idlers don't care
Chapter 70 The underworld handles the case, idlers don't care
Ye Zhiyuan was struck by lightning when he heard his wife's words.
I am dead, and it has been six years since I died.
He did not recover from the serious illness that year, but passed away as soon as he could not afford it.
This reality is somewhat unacceptable to him.
"I... how could I die, I am still alive and well."
Ye Zhiyuan murmured, but the reason why Lin Ye and Dao Hai were shocked behind him was not because Ye Zhiyuan's wife exposed the truth that Ye Zhiyuan was already a ghost.
The two were shocked that Ye Zhiyuan's wife was also a ghost in their eyes.
Are you afraid of ghosts?
Ghost shouting to catch ghosts?
Dao Hai already felt that his head was not enough, and Lin Ye's mind turned quickly. It seemed that it was not Ye Zhiyuan who had the problem, but Ye Zhiyuan and his wife.
No, Ye Zhiyuan said that he still has a son.
Ye Zhiyuan's son appeared.
Running out from the door, Yunniang hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the child in her arms.
"Little Treasure is not afraid!"
Ye Zhiyuan came to his senses when he saw his son at this moment. Six years ago, his son was as tall as his knees, but now he was waist-high.
"Yunniang, what nonsense are you talking about, Xiaobao is my son, why is he afraid of me?"
"You...you are a ghost, when... of course you have to be afraid, you have been dead for so many years, what are you doing when you come back?"
"Yunniang, I'm not dead. I recovered from a serious illness six years ago. I thought of the letter written by County Magistrate Ding after he left office and returned to his hometown. He went to Shangyang County to open a private school to teach the nephew of County Magistrate Ding. Not long ago, the first imperial examination in the new dynasty, Dinggong’s son passed high school, and I have also explained to Dinggong, so I bid farewell to Dinggong and came back to see you without stopping.”
Ye Zhiyuan still didn’t believe that he was dead. If he died, how could Mr. Ding and those students not find out?
"You failed twice, and you were ridiculed by merchants again. You were so desperate that you couldn't get sick. Where did you go to Shangyang County? If you don't believe me, come with me to your grave."
In Yunniang's words, apart from panic and resentment, Ye Zhiyuan frowned and followed behind, leading the way. When he crossed the backyard of Ye Mansion and walked to the hill behind, he saw the grave, and Ye Zhiyuan was stunned.
【Tomb of late husband Ye Zhiyuan】
【Wife Yunniang leads her son to stand up】
There are tombs and monuments, and judging from the appearance of the tomb, it is obvious that it has been around for some time, and it is impossible to fake it.
"I... how did I die? I was teaching, yes... I dragged someone to send Shu Xiu to your mother every month. Have you ever received it?"
Ye Zhiyuan was holding on to the last sliver of hope, but what he didn't expect was that upon hearing his words, the resentment on Yunniang's face became a little stronger: "Where did you get the money? Back then when you were young and everyone was holding it, it's natural There is no shortage of money, but since you failed twice, no one cares about it, and finally a merchant came to ask for a letter, but you flatly refused and drove them away."
Ye Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed, and explained: "Those merchants only know about profit, and have no character at all. How can they ask for that kind of money?"
"Yes, you are a scholar, you are lofty, but the family has already run out of surplus food, and you have been sickened by a few sarcasm from the businessman. In order to see a doctor for you, I pawned all the pawnable items in the house. I can only dig wild vegetables to feed Xiaobao, but who knows that you are short-lived, and you died of illness in just seven days."
For this matter, Yun Niang obviously has long been resentful, even after six years, she still has a grudge.
Listening to the conversation between the couple, Lin Ye also sighed a little. This is an ancient scholar who pretended to be noble, and only knew how to study, but he couldn't even take care of his wife and children.
It is almost conceivable that Ye Zhiyuan must be refuted when faced with merchants who come to ask for a lot of money. For a scholar, An Neng would bow down for five buckets of rice.
Ye Zhiyuan kept the so-called nobleness of scholars, and the result was that his wife and children were hungry and dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Similarly, the businessman originally thought that Ye Zhiyuan was so down and out, and he was rejected and humiliated when he came to ask for words with good intentions. I didn't get up either.
But this is not where Lin Ye was puzzled. What Lin Ye didn't understand was that Ye Zhiyuan died of illness, so how did his wife and son die, and why he didn't know he died.
"Brother, did you see anything?"
"Strange, this Ye family doesn't look special, Ye Zhiyuan's family are just ordinary ghosts, why do you think you are alive?"
"If it's just self-deception, it's fine. The key is why can't the people around you tell the difference?"
This is where Lin Ye is most puzzled. Some ghosts may never know that they are dead because of certain obsessions in life. This situation still exists, but those ghosts generally live alone and do not have contact with the outside world.
But Ye Zhiyuan’s family is different. Ye Zhiyuan runs a private school to teach in Shangyang County, and his wife and children live in Ye’s family, and they also deal with neighbors in the neighborhood.
"Junior Brother, instead of guessing here, it is better to ask the local City God Yin Division, the Yin Division is in charge of ghosts and undead."
"How to see?"
"Just go to Chenghuang Temple."
Lin Ye nodded, and was about to go to the Town God's Temple in Poyang County with Dao Hai, but suddenly there was a shout outside the door.
"Ye Zhiyuan, you are finally back!"
Lin Ye and Dao Hai turned their heads, and two soldiers appeared at the door, holding iron chains in their hands, but the strange thing was that the feet of these two soldiers were floating off the ground, which reminded Lin Ye of the battle in front of the gate of Miaoying Temple , the errand brought by the city **** who came to watch the battle.
"By the order of the City God, Ye Zhiyuan's soul is captured and put on trial."
The errant waved the chain in his hand, and it was directly wrapped around Ye Zhiyuan, while another errand did the same, locking Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children as well.
Being chained, the expressions of the three members of Ye Zhiyuan's family became a little dull, and they walked slowly behind Yin Cha.
"The two of you are slow."
Seeing that the three members of Ye Zhiyuan's family were about to be taken away, Lin Ye spoke.
Yin Cha turned his head, glanced at Lin Ye, and said in a deep voice, "Could it be that the two of you want to stop the Yin Division from handling the case?"
"I can't stop it, but I'm just a little curious. Ye Zhiyuan's soul has left the local area, and the local underworld department can't arrest it for the time being. Why does Ye Zhiyuan's wife and children have been stranded here, and they are still living in the form of Yang people?"
"This is from my underworld, and has nothing to do with you."
The subconscious meaning of Yin Cha's words is that it's none of your business.
Lin Ye smiled, looked at Dao Hai, Dao Hai touched his bald head: "That's right, it's none of our business."
After hearing this, the errand turned his head and prepared to move on, but at the moment he turned his head, Dao Hai raised the Zen staff in his hand and struck at him.
