When salted fish enters the escape game

Chapter 602
The next day.

Jiang Li accompanies A-Jiang to the city to buy a coffin.

Coffins are indeed expensive.

A better point is more than a dozen taels or dozens of taels of silver.

The lesser ones cost more than one tael of silver.

But Ajaan did odd jobs in the textile factory every day, and the wages he got were only ten yuan.

Sometimes the proprietress of the textile factory would give her an extra [-] Wen when she saw her working hard.

She couldn't even take out a tael of silver.

This was the first time Ajaan was so worried about money.

She is a person who wants to do something, but will estimate her own abilities.

People who give up quickly if they can't.

But this time, she wanted to stick to it stubbornly.

Grandpa Liu who taught her to grow up died, and there will be no such person in the future.

She wanted him to go with dignity.

She begged the owner of the coffin shop for a long time to work for him for free for the rest of her life.

But the owner of the coffin shop has seen enough of the warmth and coldness of the world, and has a cold heart. He only recognizes money but not people.

Just not soft-hearted.

She was kicked out.

The owner of the coffin shop had someone guard the door to prevent her from entering.

A-Jian had no choice but to wipe away his tears, and left dejectedly.

She had to find a way, no matter what, she had to buy a coffin.

Jiang Li followed her not too far or too close.

Passing by a place where crowds gathered, I overheard someone saying: "The reward has already been increased to 1000 taels, and the magistrate government still hasn't found any useful talents?"

"Recently, there are so many people from the rivers and lakes in the city because of this silver reward, but none of them are really useful?"

"The notice was just posted today. I don't know when someone will be able to deal with this matter. If it can't be resolved, we will all be done!"

Silver reward?

1000 two?

I heard that buying the best coffin is only a few dozen taels.

If she could get the 1000 taels, Ajaan would not need to worry about this.

She stopped and turned to ask the people who had just spoken.

"Solve what matter, you can get 1000 taels of silver reward?"

When they saw that it was a beautiful girl, they immediately answered her graciously.

"Three months ago, an executioner here suddenly went crazy and killed someone. His Majesty Zhizhou arrested him and sentenced him to beheading. The man was indeed beheaded, but that night, someone heard a strange sound over there. It seems that seeing the executioner take off his own head and then close it again, I was frightened and sick several times."

"This is the beginning. After a month, I don't know if the executioner's ghost has become more powerful. It even started to kill passers-by. Those people were either injured or crazy."

"In another month, this executioner will be able to harass many people in the city, no matter how far or near. Moreover, half a month ago, people started to die. Up to now, only three people have died!"

"That's why Zhizhou adults are so anxious to find capable people and strangers to subdue this executioner."

But who knew, none of the people who came were useful!
The silver reward has been increased to 1000 taels, and it is estimated that the Qingming magistrate in this city will be wiped out.

Jiang Li understood.

It's just that there are grudges.

He killed three people in a row in half a month, so he could be called an evil spirit.

Although Jiang Li doesn't understand other things in the world.

But for these strange things, it seems to be carved in the bone from birth.

No one will know better than her, who was born with the world.

If she didn't have the 1000 taels, she would have to deal with such a thing.

If you can kill two birds with one stone now, that would be even better.

"Where is the Zhizhou capital?"

Several people looked at her strangely: "Girl, you don't want to be the one who catches ghosts, do you?"

"Ah."

"Girl, don't be impulsive..."

Jiang Li asked patiently, "Where is the Zhizhou capital?"

Several people:"……"

I had no choice but to point her in the direction and persuade her a few words.

Jiang Li left without saying a word.

She has too few contacts, and almost no worldly sophistication.

Didn't even learn to say thank you.

But she is so beautiful.

So no one would argue with her about this.

Ajiang was worried about the coffin, and left alone without finding anything.

I don't know that Jiang Li has lost it.

And Jiang Li went directly to Zhizhou Mansion.

The magistrate's mansion is guarded by officers and soldiers, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter.

She was about to go in when someone grabbed her wrist and stepped aside.

There was a familiar clear breath at the tip of his nose, and when Jiang Li raised his head, he met Qin Du's deep eyes.

"Girl, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Li pulled out his hand and said, "I heard that if you subdue that executioner, you can get 1000 taels. I need money, so I'm here."

Qin Du looked at her in surprise when he heard the words: "Do you know how strong the resentment of that executioner is? During the day, the city is crowded with people and the sun is strong, so it's not easy to notice it. Once it's night, the resentment will rage across the city , he can kill people, it's hard to deal with."

Jiang Li: "Oh."

Qin Du: "?"

Just this reaction?
"Little girl." Qin Du lowered his voice and said, "I don't know your ability, but if you need money, I can give it to you. This matter is very dangerous, so don't interfere."

Jiang Li shook his head: "I need money, I can do it well myself, and get it in a fair and honest way, you and I are lucky, I have no reason to take your money, I don't owe this kindness."

"I will give it to you, and I don't want you to return this kindness."

Jiang Li still said: "No."

Qin Du: "..."

This little girl doesn't seem to be very talkative, but in fact she's pretty cool too.

"Think about it clearly. Catching this grieving ghost can only be done at night. It is really dangerous. If you are not careful, you will be killed by the grieving ghost."

Jiang Li said lightly: "Impossible."

Qin Du: "..."

"Forget it, I'll take you in." Qin Du said, "No one will believe that you can subdue the grieving ghost with your appearance, so just listen to me later, you don't need to open your mouth. I will give you all the 1000 taels."

Jiang Li thought, he really doesn't understand so many twists and turns in the world, so it's good to have someone to help.

She nodded and said, "After I get the money, I don't need so much. I only need ⑤ hundred taels, and I can give you the rest."

She owes nothing.

Ajaan was kind to her, and she repaid her kindness with 500 taels.

The person in front of her also helped her, and she gave him 500 taels as a repayment.

No one takes sides.

Qin Du smiled, didn't say much, and led her in.

Qin Du had met Lord Zhizhou before.

He said that Jiang Li was the helper he brought, and Master Zhizhou didn't ask much.

After all, the situation is urgent now, no matter who it is, as long as it can subdue that grieving ghost, that is his benefactor.

After leaving Zhizhou Mansion, the two made an appointment to meet in the evening, Jiang Li turned and left.
