A Simple Divination, Confession And Punishment

6-10

Chapter 6

　　Temple Street is a famous night market in Yau Ma Tei. It got its name from the Tin Hau Temple built in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It was just after lunch and it was time for a break. The stall owners had nothing to do. Some gathered together to chat, while others wore glasses and read Hong Kong entertainment gossip newspapers.

　　Chu Yuening greeted everyone along the way and returned to the stall. Holding the cup of milk tea with a little bit left in it, she looked up and saw Uncle Jian standing in the scorching sun wearing a straw hat.

　　"Uncle Jian?"

　　Uncle Jian must have waited for quite a long time. His face, covered in sweat and red under his straw hat, finally broke into a smile when he saw Chu Yuening coming back.

　　"Master Chu, you're back."

　　After that, he handed over a stack of money, "Here is the remaining money."

　　Chu Yuening took the money and counted it. There were three thousand yuan. She counted out fifteen hundred and returned the rest. "We agreed to two thousand yuan. That's two thousand yuan."

　　Uncle Jian was anxious, holding the money with his hands, "Master Chu, just accept it. After Sang Tianliang died, the police received a self-surrender from Daxin Insurance. After investigating the case, they gave the compensation to my husband and me."

　　Uncle Jian was unable to express his gratitude to Chu Yuening.

　　That night, he had already bought the tools to make explosives and took his already unconscious wife, intending to die together with Ye Tianliang.

　　It was because Chu Yuening took over the Feng Shui order that they were able to avoid tragedy and the truth came to light.

　　Uncle Jian is no longer just a believer in science as he was when he was young.

　　Based on the confession of the fallen woman, the police station recounted that Ye Tianliang seemed to have been possessed by an evil spirit that night. He grasped the coffin nails with both hands and killed himself.

　　Although the word "encountered evil spirits" was crossed out when the case was closed.

　　But Uncle Jian knew what was going on in his heart.

　　"Now, Shufen has regained consciousness, and Ajuan also told her in her dream that she is very grateful to you. Please accept this money."

　　Chu Yuening still refused, "Every industry has its own rules. You have already quoted a price for this order, and I will take whatever you quoted."

　　Lin Jiahua suggested, "Why not do this, pray for Ajuan's soul to be reborn soon, so that she can live a happy life in her next life?"

　　Uncle Jian thought it made sense. "Yes, Master Chu, this is still a concern for me. Ajuan had a skull nailed into her coffin before, and I am worried about the impact."

　　Chu Yuening thought about it, returned one thousand to Uncle Jian, and kept two thousand, "Five hundred is enough for salvation."

　　She put the money in her trouser pocket and counted on her fingers, "Next Monday is a good day for burying and moving the coffin. It's three o'clock in the afternoon, when the yang energy is waning and the yin energy is strong. It's an auspicious time for salvation."

　　"Everything is up to Master Chu."

　　After seeing Uncle Jian off, Chu Yuening resumed business. As time passed, in the afternoon, the number of customers in Temple Street also increased.
