There is a fake demigod in the East Palace
Chapter 23
The next day, Principal Wang asked Ye Zhaoling to meet at a funeral parlor on the outskirts of the city.
Ye Zhaoling is no stranger to this place, he used to come here often when he undertook the business of requiem.Today he came out alone without telling Rong Zheng, without any entourage, and no one recognized his identity along the way.
Ye Zhaoling followed Wang Peiyi into the morgue, and Wang Peiyi seemed to be familiar with it.She walked ahead immediately, pushed open one door after another, and brought Ye Zhaoling to a row of cabinets familiarly.
Not long after the two arrived, the staff of the funeral home also came.As soon as a staff member saw Wang Peiyi, he greeted: "Principal Wang, you are here again."
Another staff member immediately said: "It's agreed in advance, it's okay to see, you can't cremate the body without the permission of the family members."
Saying that, without waiting for Wang Peiyi to respond, the two talked and smiled and opened a large cabinet in front of them.
The freezer was slowly opened, and cool air came out of the large drawer.After the white chill dispersed slightly, Shan Shan's face suddenly appeared in front of Ye Zhaoling.
The little girl who was crying and sensitive was lying quietly in this huge cold storage at the moment.She was wearing a floral dress, her hair was tied neatly, and there were a bunch of Peppa Pig stickers on the back of her black hands.
"There are 86 children in total, and she is the only one who is still lying here." Although Shanshan could no longer be awakened by the two's conversation, Wang Peiyi habitually lowered the volume.She looked down at Shanshan lying in the big drawer, and said softly: "Shanshan loved beauty the most when she was alive. I couldn't bear to see her like that, so I simply tidied it up for her."
Ye Zhaoling looked at the child in the freezer, but didn't speak.
"After you and the prince left that day, she has been waiting for you to come back every day." Wang Peiyi lowered her head and took out her mobile phone from her bag, and spread a photo in the album in front of Ye Zhaoling: "I even drew a picture."
Ye Zhaoling looked at the screen of the mobile phone as if waking up from a dream. There were two adults on the screen, and one of the adults was holding a small person in his arms.These three people stood side by side in the blue sky and white clouds, each with a silly expression on their faces.
This silly girl should have drawn the scene of the three of them visiting the museum together that day. Shan Shan acted quite disgusted with Rong Zheng at that time, but she did not expect to include him in the painting after she went back.
At this time, Ye Zhaoling remembered that he seemed to have promised this child to come to see her again. He did come today, but he didn't expect to meet again in such a scene.
"It's been so long, why did she..." Ye Zhaoling coughed lightly, he suddenly felt his throat was a little hoarse.
"Why hasn't she died yet?" Wang Peiyi smiled and asked Ye Zhaoling's question, and at this moment, her cell phone rang.Principal Wang looked down at the screen, and said to Ye Zhaoling, "Come with me, and you will know the answer right away."
There is no distinction between low and peak seasons in the funeral parlor, and there are no holidays. Every day is very busy.Fortunately, in such a situation, no one had the mind to distract and pay attention to other people. Ye Zhaoling and Wang Peiyi smoothly passed through the long corridor with people coming and going, and walked into the reception room.
Before entering the door, Ye Zhaoling saw a man sitting sprawled on the sofa through the window.The man was wearing a flowered shirt and black trousers, his hair was polished with hairspray, and he had a briefcase under his arm.He had a cigarette in his mouth, probably the last bit of quality left, and he didn't light it here.
As soon as the man saw Wang Peiyi enter the door, he asked loudly, "Principal Wang, how are you thinking?"
Wang Peiyi and Ye Zhaoling came to sit on the sofa opposite the man together, and she had already packed up all her emotions in an instant and returned to her true nature as a female hooligan: "Father Shanshan, I told you a long time ago that it is impossible for the school to promise you this condition."
"Then why are you asking me out today?" The man lowered his head and spit on his lower face, wiped it with the sole of his shoe, looked up at the two of them, and asked, "Do you have nothing to do?"
"I want you to reconsider our conditions." Wang Peiyi took out a document from his bag and threw it on the table with a "slap": "Actually, the compensation conditions offered by the school to you are very generous."
"If you don't give me the amount I want, we won't talk about anything." The man flipped through the documents on the table, glanced at them, and then pushed them away: "It made me anxious, so I parked my precious daughter's coffin at the school Let everyone know the truth!"
"Then you're going?" Ye Zhaoling, who had been watching from the sidelines since just now, said, "You love your precious daughter so much, why would you let the child die inexplicably because of a little money?"
Then the man looked Ye Zhaoling squarely: "Who are you? A new lobbyist at school? Let me tell you, I don't like this."
Wang Peiyi didn't want to repeat these chattering words with the man again, and asked bluntly, "What exactly do you want?"
The man laughed, stretched out his finger and counted out a number: "There are so many, not a penny less!"
The number that Shanshan's father drives is different every time, and it will increase as time goes by.Wang Peiyi was well aware of this person's virtue, and reiterated again: "We cannot agree to this condition."
When the man heard this, he stood up with a "teng": "Hey, you bullshit principal, you are really shameless. My good daughter was handed over to you, and it turned out like this. You still don't want to take responsibility? "As he said, he slammed his briefcase on the coffee table, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to attack Principal Wang: "If you lose a dime, you will wait to be buried with my daughter!"
At this moment, Ye Zhaoling kicked the coffee table, which was shifted by him and hit the man's knee.
The man was trying to show his prestige to himself, but he was caught off guard by Ye Zhaoling's kick.He hugged his knees and fell onto the sofa in an instant, grinning in pain.
Ye Zhaoling was still sitting on the opposite sofa in a dawdly manner. He raised his eyelids and glanced at the man indifferently, and said, "I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm a thug sent by the school. To tell you the truth, 86 lives are worthless." If it can be covered up, one more of you is not much, and one less of you is not much.”
The man knew that Ye Zhaoling's words were true, he was a bullying master, so he didn't dare to make mistakes immediately, sat back on the sofa obediently, and swallowed this dumb loss.
The negotiations that day broke up again, and Shanshan's father insisted on obtaining satisfactory compensation before agreeing to cremate his daughter's body.Poor Shanshan didn't get a little favor from his father during his lifetime, and after his death, he will become a bargaining chip for his family to make money.
When the two left the funeral home, it was already dark.Today Wang Peiyi drove here by herself, and Ye Zhaoling happened to give her a ride back to the city.
Perhaps in order to dispel the heavy atmosphere from the funeral home, Wang Peiyi turned on the heavy metal rock in the car loudly.Before the car had driven far, Ye Zhaoling's forehead was aching from the screams of the lead singer.
Ye Zhaoling couldn't take it anymore, reached out and turned down the volume.
"The school actually doesn't know about Shanshan's father's appeal." Wang Peiyi said at this moment: "Shanshan's body is the most important evidence at present. In order to preserve the evidence, I deliberately created a misunderstanding between the two parties."
Ye Zhaoling opened the window slightly, and the cool night breeze came in immediately: "I guessed it, this amount of money is nothing to Kaiyang Medicine."
Wang Peiyi stared ahead, wearing large-diameter colored contact lenses, which rarely showed a trace of confusion: "I often wonder why none of the 86 families are willing to stand up for their children except Shanshan's father, who is an insatiable lion. In order to seek justice, they all chose to collect money and remain silent."
"There's nothing wrong with this." Ye Zhaoling leaned on the window with one hand and turned her head to look out the window: "Parents' love also has a price. When a child becomes a burden for the family for a lifetime, this "fairness" is not worth the truth. Benefit."
"Don't you think they are not worthy of being parents?" Wang Peiyi expressed the question in her heart. She was born in a happy and wealthy middle-class family. As soon as she graduated from university, her parents asked her to find a stable and decent job through her relationship. The situation of these families , she could not understand.
"You can't judge them from the perspective of outsiders." Ye Zhaoling stared at the street signs reflected in the rearview mirror, and said indifferently: "This is human nature."
The Qizhi School admits and treats children with lifelong mental disabilities, and the families who send their children to free charity schools are mostly ordinary.For these families, this accident not only got rid of a burden, but also won a huge amount of compensation that they would never earn in their lifetime. Naturally, there was nothing to insist on.
It's harsh to say that, but it's the truth.
The car soon reached the halfway up the mountain, and today's meeting was about to end, Ye Zhaoling remembered Wang Peiyi's words before parting yesterday.
He asked Wang Peiyi: "If I still refuse to help until today, what are you going to do?"
"What else can I do, I can only find another way out." After speaking, Wang Peiyi smiled and said optimistically: "There will always be a way."
Ye Zhaoling came and went alone, and was most afraid of being emotionally involved with others. Perhaps the encounter with Shanshan at school that day was doomed for him to go into this muddy water.
But the matter has come to this point, even if there are thousands of reasons to stand by, he can only follow his inner thoughts.
Ye Zhaoling sighed, grabbed her wind-torn hair angrily, and let go for the first time in two days: "Give me a copy of the materials, I will do my best."
"real?!"
Wang Peiyi didn't expect to get Ye Zhaoling's agreeable reply suddenly, so she slammed on the brake excitedly.Ye Zhaoling was caught off guard by her brake pedal, almost hitting the windshield with her whole body.
Ye Zhaoling raised his hand to support the windshield, just glanced at the rearview mirror from the corner of his eye.Just by chance, a large truck came into Ye Zhaoling's sight.
At this time, the night had fallen, and the truck had no driving lights. If it wasn't for Ye Zhaoling's glance, it would be difficult to find that there was a car coming in their direction from behind.
Driving on mountain roads at night without driving lights is very dangerous.Ye Zhaoling immediately sat up straight and reminded Wang Peiyi: "Drive hard, there is a car coming from behind."
Wang Peiyi also noticed the car coming from behind. She honked the horn twice, then turned the steering wheel, and drove the car to the outside lane.
"Where did you get two hundred and five." Wang Peiyi glanced at the rearview mirror, and began to curse: "I don't turn on the lights at night, I'm impatient."
The danger is coming at this time!What Wang Peiyi didn't expect was that the car behind him took the opportunity to increase the accelerator, and then changed lanes.
There is something wrong with this car!Alarm bells rang in Wang Peiyi's mind, and he immediately accelerated to get rid of the opponent.However, it was too late. At this time, a huge curve suddenly appeared in front of her, and the car behind was driving towards her with full power!
The car lost control in an instant, and there was a loud noise in his ears. Wang Peiyi didn't know whether he was too late to dodge and rushed out of the curve, or whether he was knocked off the cliff by the people and the car.
She didn't even have time to utter an exclamation, and her eyes suddenly fell into darkness.The investigation materials of the Qizhi School were still in the back seat, and Jingnanhou, who had just married the prince, was still sitting in the co-pilot.
Wang Peiyi thought, it seems that this time he has made big news as he wished.
Ye Zhaoling is no stranger to this place, he used to come here often when he undertook the business of requiem.Today he came out alone without telling Rong Zheng, without any entourage, and no one recognized his identity along the way.
Ye Zhaoling followed Wang Peiyi into the morgue, and Wang Peiyi seemed to be familiar with it.She walked ahead immediately, pushed open one door after another, and brought Ye Zhaoling to a row of cabinets familiarly.
