有钱能使鬼推磨, is this verb serialization?
why not?
连动句 Sentences with Verbal Constructions in Series。（兼语句 pivotal sentence） are of the type

Subject + predicate_1 + (object_1) + Predicate_2 + (object_2)， 

object_1 being subject of predicate_2

If predicate_1 originally is some common verb it can be preceded by a modal verb without violating the above structure,in given example predicate_1 is modal verb (能） ＋ verb （使）。

The １st predicate can be 有 （i。e。 does not have to be of type 请、要求、使） and pivotal sentences can of course be strung together， resulting in more than ２ predicates。

If it were 某人 有钱能使鬼推磨，then  more clearly it would be of type 

subject（某人）＋p＿１（有）＋o＿１（钱）＋p＿２（能使）＋o＿２（鬼）＋p＿３（推）＋o＿３（磨）。
