Chapter 809 Don’t Be a Cannon Fodder in a Double-Travel Story 26
Yun Yi knew that after Ji Jin returned to the era where he originally lived, no matter whether he was dead or alive, he would try every possible way to stay in the world and wait for hundreds of years to seek revenge on him.
In this case, he must have a backup plan.
When sending Song Wanwan back, a silver bell was placed on her body. After her death, on the seventh day before her resurrection, the silver bell would ring.
The silver bell will not have any effect on their souls, but it can attract ghost messengers and take their ghosts to where they should go.
In this way, dust returns to dust, and everything returns to the original starting point.
We have to thank the Ji family for the secret manuals left behind. As an old-fashioned family of Taoist priests, they have the responsibility to send souls to reincarnate after death, and using silver bells to summon ghost messengers is their way of doing so.
Cheng Muye was completely burned to ashes by the raging fire. Tang Ying and the souls in the ghost town, as well as Chen Gang, who was killed by Ji Jin and whose ghost was still imprisoned in his body, were also sent away by Yun Yi using the same method to summon the ghost messenger.
However, during this process, Yun Yi never showed up from beginning to end, nor did he reveal any trace.
The ghost officials suddenly discovered that there were a large number of ghosts gathered in the port city that had not yet been sent away.
According to the rules of the underworld, this was their dereliction of duty.
In order to avoid being discovered by their leaders, they could only send those ghosts into reincarnation as quickly as possible and pretend that nothing had happened.
"So, this world is just a giant makeshift team." Song Ruoyu shook his head with emotion, then looked at Song Ruoning: "So don't keep saying 'I can't tell you apart from Song Wanwan'. People can never see beyond their own cognition."
Ghosts cannot be seen by the naked eye, and the education he received since childhood was all scientific, and the concepts of ghosts and gods were feudal superstitions. How could he have imagined that a new soul suddenly appeared in Song Ruoning's body?
"Hmph, then it depends on your performance." Song Ruoning snorted. She knew it wasn't his fault. "You seem to have become a lot bolder recently. You even went out with those guys yesterday and didn't go home."
Ever since he learned that there were ghosts in this world, Song Ruoyu has been living at home, for he was afraid that ghosts outside would come and spy on him.
"The unknown is scary, what's so scary about what you can see?"
Song Ruoyu asked Yun Yi for a pill that could ensure that he would always have the Yin-Yang eyes open. The bitterness was more than ten times that of the previous pill, but he still swallowed it.
In fact, it’s not forever. Yun Yi said that the effect of the pill will last for at most ten years, but this is enough.
What's more important is that this time when he went to Gangcheng and saw Cheng Muye's shamelessness, he deeply realized that humans and ghosts are only different in form, and there is no difference in essence.
When Tang Ying died, Cheng Muye was still alive. In his previous understanding, Tang Ying as a ghost should be more terrifying.
But the facts have proved that when people have evil intentions, they are more terrifying than ghosts.
He used those cruel means on his ex-wife just for money. This shows that once a person becomes vicious, he is a hundred times more terrifying than a ghost.
Fortunately, Tang Ying met Yun Yi, who helped her take revenge. After a hundred years, she could finally rest assured to be reincarnated.
"By the way, did Yun Yi get the hundred kilograms of gold from Tang Ying?" Song Ruoyu asked curiously.
Tang Ying had promised to reward Yun Yi a long time ago. Now Tang Ying has been reincarnated. If Yun Yi doesn't get it, he will be at a loss.
"I got it." Song Ruoning nodded, "And Yun Yi said that besides gold, there seemed to be some other things."
Something else?
Song Ruoyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she guessed, "Could it be a rare antique?"
Tang Ying's father was a university professor. In that era, people who engaged in literature must have come from wealthy families and should have had some family background.
This time Song Ruoyu guessed it right. In addition to gold, Tang Ying also preserved many antiques collected by his father during his lifetime, as well as many calligraphy and paintings by famous people.
After going through layers of procedures, it took three months before the goods were shipped back to the country.
When Yun Yi was counting those things, he found that among the rare books there was an account book and some correspondence.
Surprisingly, they were the accounts of Cheng Muye who took advantage of the war to buy and sell rare items to make a fortune in the national crisis. Those letters were proof that he had transferred his assets abroad.
After becoming the richest man in Hong Kong, Cheng Muye began to focus on marketing his external image. After years of hard work, he became a patriotic capitalist. However, few people knew about his early fortune.
Now, the descendants of the Cheng family are more dissolute than the previous generation, and onlookers are still lamenting that each generation is worse than the previous one, but they don’t know that the first generation was not that good either.
Yun Yi gave these things to Shu Nan and asked him to help find a suitable story to publish.
To this day, Cheng Muye is still remembered by people and is considered a role model of the times.
Even if he has been reduced to ashes, what he has done must be known to people.
Although the Shu family has moved to the business world in recent years, they still have a certain influence in the political arena. Shu Nan agreed without hesitation.
And half a year later, when the eldest grandson of the Cheng family was taken away by the police for investigation for "group fornication", other things also emerged.
Just like a fuse, first Cheng was punished for reporting falsified accounts, and then he started looking up, whether it was the current head of Cheng or the one who was already idle at home.
Just when netizens thought they had dug deep enough, Cheng Muye's affairs were exposed, with account books and letters all available.
If it were someone else, they would have just done this. After all, in that war-torn era, there were many people who made a fortune by taking advantage of the war.
But the problem is that for many years, Cheng Muye had given people a very good impression, but now it has suddenly reversed, which makes it difficult for people to accept for a while.
With the bankruptcy of the Cheng family and the migration of his descendants to foreign countries, the matter came to an end and became a thing of the past.
-
"The money has been transferred to your account, but why are you in such a hurry to sell it? Maybe it will increase in value after a few years." Song Ruoning asked after transferring the money from selling antiques to Yun Yi.
"If I keep it, I'll have to take care of it. It'll be easier to worry about it after I sell it."
Yun Yi picked out the antique calligraphy and paintings of Tang Ying and kept the ones he liked, and asked Song Ruoning to help sell the others. He could use the money for whatever he wanted, but he had to find a place to store the remaining ones and guard against theft, which was too troublesome.
"Okay, you have the final say on your stuff." Song Ruoning continued, "Do you have anything to do tomorrow? My new car has arrived. Do you want to go and try it out for a couple of laps?"
"I don't have time. I have to go to the company and work for two days first, otherwise the old man will get angry."
Apart from the ghosts that were sent away, only the siblings Song Ruoyu and Song Ruoning, and the siblings Shu Nan and Shu Xi knew what happened during this period.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is still the second-generation rich man who works for three days and rests for two days. He likes this character very much and has no intention of changing it.
Go to the company and work for two days, then go out for a walk and look around the world to see if there are any wandering ghosts, to add some excitement to your dull life.
