My phone can catch ghosts
Chapter 41 The Coffin Shop
Luo Hao went back to the tavern to rest for the night, and at dawn the next day, he hurried to meet up at the agreed place.
Before long, An Xiuhe hurried over.
"Why did it take one night, you seem to have gained a lot of weight."
An Xiuhe still has a man's makeup, her body is bulging, making her look a little bloated.
"I'm well prepared this time. I'm not afraid of any number of evil spirits and thieves." An Xiuhe patted her small chest confidently.
Luo Hao didn't ask any further questions, and the two walked towards Xicheng District hand in hand.
Xicheng District is far away from Wusheng Tavern where Luo Hao lives, and he rarely comes to Xicheng District.
"Huh? Although it's still early, it's not like there's no one on the street, right?"
Walking on a long street in Xicheng District, the road is deserted and deserted.
"The poor people who used to rely on hard work to live are now rich, so naturally they all sleep in at home." An Xiuhe has some understanding of the situation here.
"You mean counterfeit money?"
"That's right, there seems to be the most counterfeit money here in Xicheng District, and now there are almost fewer and fewer poor people here, and even beggars on the roadside can now afford houses." An Xiuhe explained.
"Won't the government go to check these counterfeit money?" Luo Hao questioned.
An Xiuhe glanced at Luo Hao, and said, "How to check? There are so many counterfeit coins, how can it be so easy to check."
"And if you have been poor all your life and suddenly became rich, would you be willing to be robbed of the money by the government? The official is most afraid of stirring up civil uprisings."
"Bang bang bang..."
At this moment, at the corner of the street, carriages came galloping suddenly. The carriages were filled with all kinds of furniture, as if someone's family was moving.
Luo Hao didn't care, but just after walking for a while, he saw several carriages passing by.
"Who are these people?"
"They are some wealthy households in Xicheng District, and they are planning to move their family out of Tianhong City." An Xiuhe obviously did a lot of intelligence searches beforehand.
"The poor have money, so naturally no one is willing to work for these rich people. I heard that the shops of several rich merchants have closed down, and all the servants have run away."
Luo Hao frowned and said, "Wouldn't the whole market economy be disrupted?"
An Xiuhe nodded and said, "So the city lord is very anxious recently. If the source of the counterfeit money is not found out, the counterfeit money will spread throughout Tianhong City in the future, and it will be completely finished."
"Here we are, that's the place." An Xiuhe pointed to a shop at the corner ahead.
"The coffin shop?"
Luo Hao was a little puzzled, and then said to An Xiuhe: "I'll go in and have a look, you just watch the wind outside."
An Xiuhe thought for a while, nodded, and said, "You go, you must shout if there is a situation, I will rush in immediately."
"Uh... I'll yell."
The door of the coffin shop was closed tightly, and the two trees in front of the door blocked the door, making the shop less conspicuous.
"Boom..."
"Dong dong dong... dong dong..."
Luo Hao knocked rhythmically on the door a few times, and after a while, the door was opened a crack.
Half a black and thin face appeared from the crack of the door, and a pair of cloudy eyes sized Luo Hao up.
"The guests are friendly."
"We're all in the same family, first time we're born, second time we're acquainted." Luo Hao said what he had thought up.
"Are you here to buy a coffin?" The man continued to ask.
"The life of the poor is cheap, and the wealth is taken away by the rich, so I have to buy a coffin and wait to die." Luo Hao continued.
"I can't tell whether you are poor or rich, how can you prove it?"
Luo Hao smiled, took out the gold medal in his arms, and glanced at the man through the crack of the door.
The man seemed very satisfied, he didn't ask any more questions, and opened the door.
After Luo Hao came in, the door was closed again, An Xiuhe, who was watching outside, stared nervously at this place, ready to rush in at any time.
There are no windows in the coffin shop, and it is tightly closed and airtight. The room is very dark, and only some coffins can be seen on the ground.
Leading Luo Hao was a man, hunchbacked like a hunchback, walking in front without saying a word.
"Squeak-"
The hunchback led Luo Hao to the side room, where there were many unfinished semi-finished coffins, one of which was standing upright against the wall. A secret door opened.
Luo Hao pulled himself together and walked into the dark room first.
"boom--"
The hunchback walking behind directly closed the secret door.
After walking a few steps, Luo Hao came to a room that looked like a conference room. There was a round table in the middle, a few chairs beside it, and a table case on the back. On the table case was a statue enshrined, which Luo Hao was familiar with too. , it is Empress Meixian.
"The new batch of gold and silver hasn't been produced yet, why are you here?"
A man sitting cross-legged on a futon in front of the statue said to Luo Hao.
Luo Hao calmed down and said, "Someone found our tracks, last night Manager Liu An was also killed."
Hearing this, the man said in a flat tone: "Your Majesty already knows about this matter. That man is a running dog sent by those rich people to disrupt Your Majesty's plan. My Majesty will send a guardian to solve it."
"A lackey? When did I become a lackey."
Luo Hao rolled his eyes, pretended to be scared, and said, "Small, I believe in the divine power of the empress, just...just..."
"Just what?"
The man suddenly stood up and turned to face Luo Hao.
The moment Luo Hao saw this person, he couldn't help being shocked. This person's skin was dark yellow, and there seemed to be golden lines on his face. His eyes had no black pupils, but were full of whites. He didn't look like a normal person at all.
"It's just that the villain is worried that those rich people will destroy your mother's plan. After all, those rich people are full of evil and don't take the lives of us poor people at all."
Luo Hao judged that these so-called believers of Empress Meixian were people who hated the rich. As long as they belittled and insulted the rich, they should be able to gain their trust.
Sure enough, the yellow-faced man's tone turned cold immediately, and he said: "Those rich people are used to bullying us. Now, with the protection of our mother, we can kill all the rich people in Tianhong City one by one in a few days."
"At that time, the envoy will turn them all into mummies, use a millstone to grind their corpses into powder little by little, and produce more gold and silver. I will let all the poor people use the gold coins made from their corpses to eat and wear forever Nuan, everyone will no longer have to suffer all their lives for dirty money."
The yellow-faced man raised his hands like a mad believer, and shouted in a cold voice facing the idol.
"Gold is guilty! Money is guilty! Kill all the rich and give the poor a piece of the sky." The hunchback on the side also responded excitedly to the yellow-faced man.
Luo Hao remained silent, but was extremely surprised in his heart. Hearing what the yellow-faced man said, they used the corpses of those rich people to make counterfeit money, and their purpose was to destroy all rich people.
Luo Hao was thinking about whether he could get some more information.
But at this moment, a "boom" sound broke the excited yellow-faced man's voice.
Luo Hao turned his head to look in the direction of the secret door when he came, and saw An Xiuhe's hurried figure running towards here, and behind her were several paper figurines following her.
"This is a trap. They have seen us through a long time ago. Let's go." An Xiuhe shouted anxiously at Luo Hao.
Luo Hao was shocked, just about to move, but felt a pain in his waist, looked down, but it was the hunchback hugging his waist tightly.
Before long, An Xiuhe hurried over.
"Why did it take one night, you seem to have gained a lot of weight."
An Xiuhe still has a man's makeup, her body is bulging, making her look a little bloated.
"I'm well prepared this time. I'm not afraid of any number of evil spirits and thieves." An Xiuhe patted her small chest confidently.
