The Ming Dynasty in Another World: People are in the Heavenly Prison, and Wuji becomes a Taoist

Lin Mo and Ma Chao rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

In an independent ward, the two met Zhu Yuan.

The Zhu Yuan in front of him was completely different from the energetic and high-spirited person he was a few days ago.

At this moment, he had two big dark circles under his eyes.

His face was as white as paper and his eyes were dull.

The whole person seemed to be drained of energy and looked listless.

"Xiao Zhu, what happened to you? How did you become like this?"

Ma Chao asked hurriedly.

"Hey, I haven't had a good night's sleep these days."

Zhu Yuan sighed and said with a bitter face, "Every time I close my eyes, I dream of a hideous evil ghost, pouncing on me with its fangs and claws bared. I am so scared that I can't fall asleep at all."

When Ma Chao heard this, he was happy.

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Did you do something shameful behind my back?"

When Zhu Yuan heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm afraid that's the case, too. But when I think about it, I don't think I've done anything immoral in my life, except for peeing in someone else's well when I was a kid!"

Ma Chao couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But even though he was laughing, he still asked with concern: "What did the doctor say?"

Zhu Yuan scratched his head and said, "He said that I might be under too much pressure and suffer from some kind of neurasthenia or something. I need to be hospitalized for observation for a period of time."

"How many days has this been going on?"

Lin Mo suddenly asked.

"It's been four whole days!"

Zhu Yuan stretched out four fingers.

"Four days?!"

Ma Chao opened his eyes wide and was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

A normal person can’t stand staying up late for four consecutive days, let alone Zhu Yuan who hasn’t slept for four days.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zhu Yuan said helplessly: "I thought it was just stress and I would be fine after a few days of rest.

As a result, that thing appeared as soon as I closed my eyes, and it scared me so much that I couldn’t sleep.

I also went to see a Chinese doctor, who prescribed some tranquilizers and sleeping aids, which worked a little at first, but then stopped working.

His body couldn't bear it anymore, so he passed out and was taken to the hospital by his men."

When Ma Chao heard this, he thought Zhu Yuan was exhausted from running around since the business had just opened, so he kept persuading him not to put too much pressure on himself.

But Lin Mo stood aside, his brows furrowed and his eyes sharp.

He noticed that Zhu Yuan's condition didn't seem like he was sick at all.

It's more like someone has cast some kind of evil spell on him.

Is it a ghost haunting me?

So who wants to harm him?

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then asked Zhu Yuan directly: "Zhu Yuan, have you accidentally offended anyone recently?"

"what?"

Zhu Yuan was stunned by Lin Mo's sudden question.

Ma Chao knew Lin Mo's character well and would definitely not ask such a question for no reason.

He knew that Lin Mo had a powerful master, Lao Gui.

Maybe he had learned some special skills and was able to see the clues in Zhu Yuan.

"Xiao Lin, do you see something wrong?"

Ma Chao couldn't help but ask.

Lin Mo nodded: "Yes, but I have to verify it again."

He turned and looked at Zhu Yuan, his eyes sharp.

"Think carefully about it. Have you offended anyone recently or made enemies with anyone? Tell me after you have thought it through."

Zhu Yuan frowned and tried hard to recall.

"When the company first opened, everything went smoothly thanks to the relationship with Ma Ye Huzhou Guild..."

He stopped talking halfway, as if he remembered something.

“By the way, a foreign company came to us a few days ago and said they wanted to cooperate with us.

But I felt that the conditions were not suitable at the time, so I did not agree.

Their person in charge was quite unhappy at the time. I don’t know if this counts as making an enemy.

Other than that, I really don’t have any beef with anyone.”

"Foreign company?"

Lin Mo and Ma Chao looked at each other, both with puzzled expressions on their faces.

"What exactly is going on?"

Lin Mo asked.

Seeing Lin Mo's serious face, Zhu Yuan immediately told him everything that had happened.

“That foreign company mainly took the Nanyang route, transporting Liubao tea.

The cooperation conditions they offered were indeed very attractive, but when I asked to see the list of their accounts receivable and payable, they made excuses.

I was worried that there might be something fishy going on and that there might be problems after the cooperation, so I refused. ”

"Nanyang" refers generally to the Southeast Asian region.

At that time, overseas Chinese going to Southeast Asia to make a living was called "going to Nanyang".

From the end of the Ming Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, wars and famines made the common people suffer terribly.

In order to survive, many people risked their lives and crossed the ocean to Southeast Asia to find a way to make a living.

At that time, "going to Southeast Asia" was the path people would choose when they had no other options.

It often means the road ahead is dangerous and the environment is harsh.

You work hard but have no one to rely on, and you have no control over your life and death.

Those Chinese workers who went to Southeast Asia to make a living were not able to adapt at first and were sick and staggering.

But the strange thing is that those who often drink Liubao tea brought from their hometown are actually very strong and rarely get sick.

For those who were sick, after drinking a pot of strong Liubao tea, their symptoms would be almost completely relieved.

This story became so popular in the Chinese community in Southeast Asia that Liubao tea was almost hailed as a "magic pill".

Chinese workers who have a little more money on hand have to prepare more of this tea just in case.

Therefore, there is no problem for the other party to sell and transport this Liubao tea to Southeast Asia.

However, you can't be careless about the accounts, otherwise it may cause big trouble.

Lin Mo knew that although Zhu Yuan was young, he was always thoughtful and cautious.

Being able to make such a decision is definitely not aimless.

"If this matter is really related to that foreign company, they will probably come to our door soon."

"Ah? Really?" Zhu Yuan looked surprised.

dong dong dong.

There was a sudden knock on the door, which startled both Zhu Yuan and Ma Chao.

"Speak of the devil and he will appear?"

Ma Chao muttered in a low voice with a look of surprise on his face.

"It's time to change the medicine."

A nurse's voice came from outside the door.

It turned out to be a false alarm.

Ma Chao and Zhu Yuan looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

Wait for the nurse to change the medicine and leave.

Ma Chao asked Lin Mo: "Xiao Lin, do you think this matter is really related to that foreign company?"

Lin Mo nodded and said, "From the current situation, it is related, but we have to wait and see what exactly is going on."

"Okay, then, you keep Xiao Zhu first. If someone comes looking for you, tell us immediately." Ma Chao said.

As the leader of the special service team, he had other matters he needed to deal with and couldn't stay outside for long.

"it is good."

Zhu Yuan had no choice but to agree.

"This matter is really annoying."

Ma Chao sighed.

"Do you want me to ask a Taoist senior to come and help Zhu Yuan?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

He couldn't see it.

Even if we invite someone over, I guess they won't be able to see anything.

The two talked as they walked towards the hospital gate.

As soon as they went out, someone suddenly called them from behind.

It was a young man under Zhu Yuan, who ran over hurriedly with an envelope in his hand.

"Master Lin, you are really as good as a god. Someone really contacted the shopkeeper. Look!"

As he said that, he handed over the envelope.

Lin Mo took the envelope, opened it, and his face immediately darkened.

"How does it feel to be unable to sleep at night? If you want to have a good sleep in the future, see you at Wangjiang Tower at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

Ma Chao couldn't help but look up at Lin Mo.

Unexpectedly, he actually guessed it right!
