After hearing this, Li Mazi was stunned for a moment, but soon felt relieved.

He smiled and said that I was too nervous. Where can I drink and eat meat and pick my feet in the world?

"What's going on?" I asked.

Li Mazi hesitated for a long time and wanted to give me an explanation, but in the end he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.

"If that old monk is not a ghost, then he must be a Buddha, because every word he says is very philosophical and he can see through my heart." I said, "I know where the missing Buddhist beads have gone..."

"Where is it?" Li Mazi asked.

"The bald old man's home." I said.

"What a joke?" Li Mazi smiled and said, "You really think that Buddhist beads can grow wings and fly back."

"Do you remember what the old monk said to me before?" I asked, "He wants to ask me for justice, the justice of countless homeless people, and the justice of countless exploited people. Think carefully, can you guess what this sentence means."

Li Mazi looked at me in surprise: "Have you ever hurt someone?"

I glanced at Li Mazi: "It's not me, I guess it's the bald old man who has done a lot of unethical things. The Buddhist beads are used to punish the bald old man and told him not to do anything conscience anymore! But now that the Buddhist beads have been brought back by me, the bald old man will definitely become more and more serious. Let's help him to help the evil, so the old monk came to me personally to seek justice..."

"Even we have done something wrong ourselves, tax evasion, don't you feel uneasy?"

Li Mazi looked at me tremblingly: "Brother Zhang, you'd better stop talking. When you say this, I'm so cautious in my heart! Forget this, this matter has ended. If the bald old man doesn't call us, we won't pay attention to it. Damn, it's not worth offending the true Buddha for a corrupt official."

I nodded immediately and said that in the future, the bald old man called for help, and we would not answer any of them.

Some things, once you do, can't escape.

Early the next morning, the middle-aged man came again and sneaked up on me and said he wanted to see how the Buddhist beads are now.

I told him the truth directly and said that the Buddhist beads were gone...

The middle-aged man sighed and said no wonder.

It turned out that last night, the bald old man began to hear the sound of monk chanting scriptures again. And this time the sound was even louder, as if someone was yelling the Buddha's name loudly in front of his ears. Covering his ears didn't work, and he almost died of breath all night.

Then the middle-aged man was sent to me to ask questions.

I shook my head and said, "We are powerless this time! The string of Buddhist beads is too powerful and beyond my ability. You should ask for another wise man."

The middle-aged man is very unhappy and his tone is no longer so friendly. It is reasonable to say that the young comrade is young and energetic, but I won’t force you to do it. Give you some time to think carefully and think about it carefully. Can this matter be solved?

Grass, have you got into trouble with me?

OK, just stake it. What can you do if you can shoot me directly in broad daylight? You can’t use it indiscriminately if you have the right.

But I underestimated them.

On this day, the middle-aged man called me several times, but I didn't answer. Something happened to me the next day...

Several law enforcement vehicles blocked my antique shop and said they wanted to demolish it.

The tax bureau also came to several cars and wanted to check my taxes. Damn, I'm doing business with evil things, where can I go to taxes? But they stayed with me all day.

Later, Yin Xinyue also called and said she had received a letter from a lawyer about the company's tax evasion and asked me what was going on? Didn't it be done long ago?

I had a headache. The officialdom is indeed a big dye vat. Even if you are innocent, as long as you enter this big dye vat, you will be unable to help yourself.

There was no choice but to discuss countermeasures with Li Mazi.

Li Mazi is even more worried than me, because today a criminal police team came to him and asked him to cooperate in investigating several cases of robbery of ancient tombs. If such a thing is exposed, his life will probably be over.

Finally, Li Mazi patted my shoulder and said that we can't beat each other, and if we really can't do it, just admit defeat! Even if we pretend, it's OK.

I knew I had no way out, so I asked Li Mazi to go to public relations and asked the bald old man out. I had something to talk to him.

Li Mazi said that's OK, just do it like this!

Li Mazi personally went to the municipal government. After coming back, he told me that it was still the same five-star hotel, just this afternoon.

Li Mazi still gained something this time, and the law enforcement vehicles and people from the tax bureau were evacuated from my store.

I breathed a sigh of relief and contacted Yin Xinyue urgently and asked her to urge the company to make up the remaining taxes! The bald old man was about to get into trouble, so he would not be involved in their company.

Yin Xinyue agreed.

In the afternoon, I went to the hotel and met the bald old man.

This time, the bald old man was no longer so kind, with an unhappy look on his face. Moreover, when he was an hour late, he didn't put any farts on him, sat directly on the chair, picked up a teacup and drank tea.

In order to show my firm attitude this time, I did not let Li Mazi follow me, so as not to destroy my aura.

I don’t know where I got the courage, so I dared to compete with such a big shot: “Old sir, let me tell you about the string of Buddhist beads! The string of Buddhist beads, whose real name is: Justice. It can bless the owner’s health and prosperity. Of course, this is based on justice. If the person who holds this Buddhist bead has done many things that are harmful to the world before, the Buddhist beads will not only not play a protective role, but will also cause backlash to the owner, just like..."

I swallowed, gritted my teeth, and said the following sentence: "It's like the situation you are facing now."

"Rareless!" The bald old man slapped the table and looked glaring: "Do you say I have done something that is unreasonable? Young man, he has spoken well. Have you ever considered that I can sue you for defamation based on your words?"

I am worthy of being a resident of the officialdom. As soon as I get angry, my aura is so overwhelming that I feel a little breathless.

I was a little scared, and my tone couldn't help but soften: "I'm sorry I can't do anything about it if the Buddhist beads are on you and I'm going to follow you for twenty-four hours, maybe I can come up with a solution..."

The bald old man glared at me: "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure," I said, "If you don't believe it, I can't do it."

Finally, the bald old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! Tell me, how long can I solve the problem of Buddhist beads?"

"About a month." I said, "Don't think it's long. This is a period that I can guarantee if I try my best. If you look for someone, I'm afraid you will be entangled by the sounds of monks chanting scriptures for the rest of your life..."

The bald old man gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance! From today on, you will be my full-time secretary."

After saying that, the bald old man called, which probably meant to let his secretary rest for a month.

Soon, the middle-aged man walked into the private room and handed me a bunch of car keys.

"If I want me to solve the problem for you, you must listen to me in everything." I said, "Otherwise, I really can't solve this..."

The bald old man nodded: "I will listen to you."

I breathed a sigh of relief: "Next, I'll take you home!"

"Go to the car and wait for me." said the bald old man: "I have another dinner."

As he said that, the bald old man turned around and left and went to another private room.

I shrugged helplessly and simply sat in the government car and waited.

I was almost asleep after waiting, and the bald old man slowly walked out of the hotel and asked me to take him home.

I asked him where the string of Buddhist beads are now? The bald old man said he hadn't found it yet.

I said I didn’t have to look for it anymore. It would be solved if I didn’t have to find it.

The bald old man looked at me for no reason, but said nothing.

The bald old man lives in the family yard. The decorations at home are average, and they are the standard configuration of this level!

There was no one else in his family, and I knew that his family must have lived in a big villa. This family courtyard was just to deal with temporary inspections.

The bald old man arranged for me to sleep in the bedroom on the first floor, while he himself slept on the second floor.

After I lay down, I started to fall asleep. As long as the bald old man heard the monk chanting scriptures, he would call me, and there was no need for me to guard him all the time.

In my sleep, I actually dreamed of the old monk again.

The old monk was holding a roast chicken in one hand and a palm fan in the other, grinning open his mouth, standing in the dark and laughing at me.

I asked him curiously, is it a ghost or a Buddha?

The old monk laughed and replied, "If there is a ghost in his heart, then I am a ghost. If there is a Buddha in his heart, then I am a Buddha. I am in your heart, is it a ghost or a Buddha?"

I shook my head and said I don't know.

He smiled and said that he didn't know. Everyone in the world was entangled by the world, and there were no ghosts or Buddhas in his heart.

I said, can you speak Mandarin? What does it mean? I can't understand, brother.

The old monk just smiled at me. As he smiled, he disappeared from my sight. I also struggled to wake up from my sleep, staring blankly outside the empty window.

I seem to understand what the old monk means. People who have no ghosts in their hearts will have no guilt even when facing real ghosts. People who have ghosts in their hearts will feel guilty even when they meet ordinary people.

It’s like those corrupt officials who are frightened when they hear the sirens downstairs.
