The Legend of Ghosts and Gods - Xiaoqian 06 The Scholar and the Female Ghost

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    People who hang out in the martial arts world in Chengdu are not very smart people, but they have traveled a lot. As long as they don't become dead, they will become old people sooner or later and have their own methods. The same is true for Qing Fen.  Just like looking for Tongten Pavilion before, in fact, things are not as complicated as imagined.

    Those people on the mountain are definitely people and not ghosts. It is impossible for them to eat and drink. They must eat, drink and replenish themselves.  Moreover, many female prostitutes - just by listening to the news of the red gauze girl's betrayal, you can know that they are not just two sisters - consume far more daily necessities than men, such as rouge, gouache, silk, satin, gold hairpins, and silver rings.  Toys, everything is of the highest quality, there is no way these things can be turned into gold with the Midas touch.  In addition, neither the old tree demon nor the red and white girls seemed to be people who could wash, cook, and live their own lives. The servants and maids who served them would inevitably further expand this group.

    In a word, these people can hide in the mountains, but they cannot truly be isolated from the outside world!  In this case, a stable supply route is bound to be needed.  It would be too conspicuous to find businessmen from outside to enter this remote small county every month. It would be more concealed and convenient to control a local person as an agent.

    Of course, the above are all Qing's conjectures, and there may be other changes in reality. However, Qing Fen thinks that he has done a lot of good things recently and accumulated a lot of character. The search for clues went so smoothly that he was a little surprised.  The trace of rouge remaining on the carriage in front of me shows that more than half a month has passed, but it is still bright and fragrant. It is definitely not a top-quality product that anyone in this small county can afford or has the taste to use.  And looking at the yard surrounded by earthen walls next to it, it doesn't look like a poor place where a big businessman who is accustomed to reselling such goods would live.

    "Dong dong dong"

    Qing Fen turned around and knocked on the unfastened door, calling the door loudly.

    "People inside open the door! What you committed has been revealed!"

    After knocking twice but no one responded, Qing Fen drew a few black lines on his forehead. Could it be that his luck stopped halfway and he found the place but couldn't find the person?  Thinking of this, Qing Fen exerted a slight force on his palm, and the door latch snapped into two pieces from the inside.

    Pushing open the courtyard door and walking inside, what greeted Qing Fen was not the empty courtyard he expected.

    "You came in uninvited and broke into the house. It seems that the senior is not a gentleman as Xiaoqian expected, which is really surprising."

    The familiar voice¡ªactually, I can¡¯t say it¡¯s too familiar, I heard it for the first time last night, and there were only a few words¡ªI wonder if I was infected by its warmth under the sun, and it actually became a bit more playful or two.  There is less corresponding indifference.

    Xiaoqian, a girl in white gauze, is sitting on a stone chair. There is only half a cup of tea left in the tea cup on the stone table at hand, and there is another tea cup on the opposite side of the table. This shows a lot of things without words.

    First, the other party knows his whereabouts very well and knows that he is in Guobei County.  Secondly, the other party knows his abilities very well and knows that he will look for them along the supply route and will find them.  Thirdly, the other party knows your character very well and knows that he will break into the door, so he just drinks tea without answering the door.

    The above three understandings come from a person who has only met him once and spoken to him a few words. No matter whether he is a man, a woman, old or young, it is enough to surprise Qing Fen.  Presumably, this surprise was exactly what she wanted to achieve. Before she even started to say anything, she had already taken the initiative.

    "Ah, this is really destined!"

    An absolute surprise!  Absolute surprise!  Qing Fen touched his nose and muttered haha. He quickly looked at the entire courtyard and even the three rooms in the courtyard that were shaped like a "pin".  This is a private courtyard. The courtyard is clean and spotless, which is slightly inconsistent with the broken earth wall outside.  There is a main room facing the house, a side room on the left and right, and a kitchen at the corner that smells of oil smoke.  The gray tiles and white walls of these houses look old, but they are still neatly tidied. Looking through the open doors and windows, although the bed tents are old, pen and ink books can be seen everywhere, so they are not shabby.

    "Senior, don't worry too much, it's just me."

    Bai Shanu saw what the other party was thinking and dispelled the other party's doubts with one sentence.

    "With my senior's martial arts skills, I would have been able to escape even if I was ambushed. But then it would be our turn to worry about revenge. This kind of endless thing is not in each other's interests. The little girl thought about it carefully, we really  I have never had any deep and incomprehensible relationship with my seniors, either because of being entrusted by others or because of a misunderstanding, so what do you think if we can just reconcile?"

    While speaking, Xiaoqian suddenly conjured a piece of paper from her hand and placed it on the table, as if she were conjuring a magic trick.  Qing Fen approached the table but did not sit down immediately. He looked at it and saw that it was a banknote, ten thousand taels!

    10,000?!

    It should be noted that at the current price, one tael of silver can buy two stones of rice, which is enough to feed a family of five for two months; the annual salary of a seventh-grade official is only forty-five taels; and the salary of a first-grade official in the current dynasty can only be equivalent to three hundred taels per year.  A salary of two silvers.

    Take those who are successful in the world of gangsters as an example. The largest escort agency in Chengdu, Shunfeng, has more than 200 escorts in the agency, and more than a thousand people including servants and family members. The biggest business that year was to escort the governor of Sichuan.  The envoy came to Beijing to celebrate Yan Song's seventieth birthday. He packed ten large carts and borrowed three hundred officers and soldiers to help escort them. He earned a total of thirty thousand taels of snowflakes and silver during the several-month trip. It was known as the best escort agency in the past century.  The fattest trip ever!  Now I looked up and saw a banknote with a face value of 10,000 taels. My first reaction was that the banknote was fake.

    This bank note cannot be fake.  When I thought about it, I had already made a judgment. It was not that Qing Qing had the sharp eyes to identify the authenticity of banknotes at a glance, it was purely out of profit considerations.

    Assuming that the other party gives you a fake banknote that will be revealed as soon as you arrive in Chengdu, then unless they just plan to get away from you and move immediately, it will have no meaning to you who will definitely come back. And if there is really a move  They planned to just run away, and there was no need to worry about losing such a huge sum of money; and if the banknote was genuine, then these female ghosts who were willing to live in this remote mountainous area could not be like Shunfeng Escort Agency  A figure in the world who takes the right path - one who takes the right path cannot make so much money -, even if he is not Yan Song, he should be the same type as the Chief Envoy of Sichuan.

    "Ten thousand taels of silver! Do I look that valuable?"

    Although he said this, Qing Fen had no intention of touching the banknote, or even sitting down, which seemed a bit indifferent.

    "I want to make friends with my senior for ten thousand taels of silver. Could it be that my senior still thinks the money is too little?"

    The girl in white gauze frowned slightly, as if she had some trouble with this "senior" who was not close to women and didn't like money.

    "That's not the case! It's just that I am sure that the reason why you are willing to pay 10,000 taels to send me away must be more valuable than the 10,000 taels. I am a greedy person, why don't I give you 10,000 taels and you tell me to stay  What's the reason for being in this barren mountain?"

    As he spoke, Qing Fen took out a piece of jade from his arms and put it on the table.  It was a Luan and Phoenix jade carved from Hotan blood jade, which was rare in the Central Plains. It had a warm and full color and the carving was lifelike.  Gold is valuable but jade is priceless. This thing is indeed worth ten thousand taels of silver in the hands of rich people for whom money is not money.

    The unexpected development of the demolition brought the negotiation situation between the two people back to the starting point of equality. The beautiful and light-browed girl in white gauze seemed a little passive.  She is indeed smart and careful, but it seems that she does not have much experience in the world. Although the trick of buying with money is very effective in most cases, its more important prerequisite is to put the other party into a situation where they have to accept the money, and she herself  The situation is obviously far from that situation.

    "Wait a minute, she has little experience in the world, so how did she judge her own actions and be so accurate? Isn't the two contradictory?

    Something out of the ordinary is a monster. A small disharmony aroused Qing Fen's suspicion, and then another possibility came to his mind. In fact, in this encounter between the two of them, besides the other party taking the lead, there could also be another possibility.  An explanation.  Qingfen just thought of this and before she could think about it deeply, Bai Shanu had already spoken again.

    "Since senior is not short of money, it is indeed Xiaoqian who has offended me. But please forgive me for offending again. It's better that senior doesn't know about what we are going to do. If he does, I'm afraid there will be no chance to retreat."

    After all, Hui Jie only took a sip of tea in the face of the unexpected counterattack. Bai Shanu had already figured out a way to advance and retreat, and pointed in the direction of the county government office.

    Yamen?  County magistrate?

    Qing Fen didn¡¯t understand the other party¡¯s hint for a moment, and after thinking for a few times, he suddenly remembered that there was not only a county government office in that direction, but also a temple!

    The birthplace of 9,000-year-old Wei Zhongxian!

    Everyone in the world knows that the current Ming Xizong is not the emperor. The man who is not a man in name is the real emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Anyone with an official title will definitely be in an unstable official position if he does not follow the path of Eunuch Wei.  of.  So of course, there are definitely not a few officials who are keen on flattering others.

    Besides, a few years ago, I don¡¯t know who was so talented and came up with the idea of ??building a shrine. As a result, officials all over the world had to follow the practice whether they wanted to or not. If you practice well, you may not be rewarded, but if you practice well, you may not be rewarded.  If you don¡¯t cultivate well or even don¡¯t cultivate, then if you are sued by villains, you just can¡¯t bear it and just walk around.  Therefore, even if even the eight-pole magistrate of Guobei County could not get the seal of Wei, the official of Wei Changgong had no choice but to build such a nondescript thing opposite his yamen.

    It¡¯s justare these people trying to take advantage of Wei Zhongxian?  This is indeed a huge event. In terms of difficulty, this is as big asYou're almost done.  No, it should be said that it is more difficult than regicide!

    Eunuch Wei is notorious all over the world. Those who want to kill him can queue up from the capital all the way to Chengdu. How many years have there not been a few murders by just people in the Jianghu?  But at nine thousand years old, she is still alive and kicking.  It can be seen that anyone can be a bad guy, but not just anyone can be a national-level bad guy.

    ¡°With Dongchang in hand, intelligence covers the world, and the assassins will either be caught before setting off, or they will find themselves trapped in a trap when they get there;

    Recruiting martial arts masters and martial arts scum to act as bodyguards. Even if the assassin is sophisticated and can hide from Dongchang's intelligence network, it will be difficult for him to get past the human wall formed by these masters;

    In the end, even the assassins were top-notch masters, with tight arrangements and thorough layouts, and they mobilized the scum of the world to actually kill him But the world's number one eunuch started practicing martial arts when he was not yet a eunuch.  He has forty years of Tiangang Boy Kung Fu and is invulnerable to water and fire. Even if he lies there and lets you kill him, it is not an easy task.  Do you really want to attract his attention?  "

    Qing Fen also pointed in that direction with his finger, then pulled out three fingers one by one at the white gauze girl, and said in disbelief.

    "I didn't say anything, but based on my humble opinion, it would be best for me to collect this banknote and leave this place quickly."

    Xiaoqian served tea again, this time it seemed that she was seeing off guests.  Indeed, if the entanglement continues, there are only two outcomes. Either go to Dongchang and make a show of it and be reviled by the whole martial arts world and even the whole world, or participate in this kind of action with a mortality rate of 99%, and not even a whole body can be found after death.  together.  While there is still a chance, smart people should know how to choose.

    He stood quietly for a moment, as if thinking about the pros and cons of advancing or retreating. After a while, Qing Fen suddenly let out a long sigh and made a decision - he picked up the ten thousand taels of silver notes from the table and disappeared in despair.  At the end of the alley.

    Finally got scammed!

    Seeing that the senior had really left, the tension in Xiaoqian's heart finally relaxed.  I was going down the mountain secretly, but I had already been delayed for a lot of time by this intrusion. I didn't dare to delay anymore. I turned around and glanced at the house reluctantly. I stepped lightly and quickly left after the people in front of me.  Guobei County¡ª¡ª

    The black rabbit is coming, and the night is coming in the blink of an eye.  The entire Guobei County fell into a deep slumber. That day, the courtyard where words were used as weapons and minds were compared with each other, but there was an incident that happened, woke up unexpectedly.  The owner of the yard stretched for a long time, and then bumped into the bed board!

    "Ah! It hurts! Where is this? How could I sleep under the bed?"

    Along with a burst of sleepy words, a person came out from under the bed in the main room bit by bit.  This is a man who looks very young. He probably has a dazed look on his face because he has been sleeping for a long time.

    "I rememberI remember I was drinking tea and chatting with Xiaoqian. Why did I run under the bed? Moreover, it was dark today! Could it be that I was too tired from studying at night and fell asleep?  Then when I thought about it, I dreamed that Xiaoqian came to find me?"

    The man stood up muttering, and walked out of the door with some confusion.

    "You're awake, please come and sit down and have a cup of tea."

    In the middle of the night, a strange man suddenly appeared in his yard, drinking his own tea in a grand manner.  Anyone would be surprised, including the owner of this yard, who subconsciously took a step back into the house.

    "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person."

    The people in the yard picked up their teacups and made a kind smile.

    "I am Xiaoqian's friend, you can trust me."

    "You, are you really Xiaoqian's friend?"

    "The word "Xiaoqian" is like a certificate of qualifications. After hearing this, the scholar who is the owner of the hospital immediately relaxed a lot of nervousness.

    "Of course, Xiaoqian still came to drink tea with me during the day, but she suddenly had to leave because of something. Before leaving, she asked me to take good care of you. I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you. Who would have thought that you would sleep all day long?  , I don¡¯t know what kind of dream I had, but I actually rolled and crawled under the bed!¡±

    The visitor joked with a smile on his face, and the scholar who owned the courtyard immediately blushed, no longer doubting him.

    ¡°I¡¯m ashamed, I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m not sleeping well, I¡¯m so humiliating and will make you laugh. Ning Caichen, a young student, may I ask what your surname is?¡±

    Judging by age alone, this guest is barely a few years older than Shusheng Ning, but the look of frost between his brows makes people unknowingly admit that he was born late.

    "My surname is Qing. Mr. Ning, please have a seat."
