Leaving the dry goods store, the two ghost guys walked in front with the cart full of ingredients, and I accompanied Teng Shuli in the back. All the way back, you also have to cross half of the left city. But as soon as he turned a street, a group of imps suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking the way of the cart.

There were about seven or eight of them, and I looked at them as familiar, as if they were the same group of imps who were wandering around the food market just now. However, the resentment on them is average, and they are not ruthless characters.

In that case, there is no need to be polite to them. I directly took out the Ruyi chopsticks and made them longer, walked up and shouted, "What are you doing?" Get out of the way! ”

But the imps still stood in the way, and they didn't move a single step. I frowned, and I had a bad feeling in my heart, it seems that these little ghosts have been eyeing us for a long time, and they have come to find fault!

However, they are only in the way, and they have no intention of doing anything with me. I asked two more questions, but they didn't answer. I was about to step forward to drive away, when Uncle Teng from behind screamed!

I hurriedly turned my head to look. It turned out that another imp sneaked up from behind and wanted to steal the money bag on Uncle Teng's waist, but he found it in time and grabbed it with his hand. Teng Shuli didn't bring anything to fight ghosts when he went out today, and one person and one ghost were deadlocked.

The boss was robbed, and I definitely had to run back to help. When the little imp who stole the money saw me coming, he hurriedly let go and ran away. I was about to chase after me when I heard two more shouts behind me.

This time, it was the ghost guy in front of me screaming, and the ghosts who were blocking the road just now went to grab the ingredients on the cart while I was running back to "save the driver". The two ghost guys tried to stop them, but they kicked them to the ground.

If you can't steal it, you will rob it instead?

I was furious in my heart, and I jumped forward again with a shout and picked up the Ruyi chopsticks to fight!

Those ghosts were all ghosts, and when they saw me running over, they threw a few dried scallops under my feet. I couldn't dodge them, so I stepped on a few of them and almost slipped. Those ghosts didn't stop doing anything, they simply overturned the cart to stop me, and dumped all the ingredients they had just purchased on the ground!

With a roar, I jumped to my feet and jumped over the overturned cart in pursuit. The ghosts fled in a hurry, taking refuge along the alleys between the streets and the shops, each holding a Stygian Sea shell or two in their hands. I couldn't chase that many ghosts alone, so I had to pick the slowest one and chase after them.

The ghost dodged left and right, trying to take advantage of the crowds and shelves in the street to avoid my pursuit. But he was obviously not smart enough, and he was greedy, and he was so slow that he still had three Stygian half-headed shells in his hand, which not only added weight, but also hindered his flexibility when running.

Half the way down the street, the thief saw that he couldn't get rid of me, so he wanted to get into the alley between the shops. But it was really unlucky, and it happened to run into a caravan passing by, and it actually hit the nose of the giant snail in the lead!

The animals and plants of the underworld are creatures between yin and yang, which can be used by people and can also come into contact with ghosts. The thief's head hit the behemoth on the head, and it must have been uncomfortable. It fell back on its back, holding its sore head with one hand, and rubbing its sore buttocks on the hard stone floor with the other, screaming in pain, and the three half-headed shellfish in its arms were all gone. But it struggled to get up, as if it wanted to keep running.

I ran up and gave it another stick on both legs, and I swept the ghost to the ground again. I pressed the tip of my chopsticks against its chest, and it was completely honest and quickly begged for mercy. But I only brought ghost fighting equipment with me when I went out, and I didn't bring a ghost rope, so I had to scratch my head and find a way.

The caravan people often come here to sell their goods, and when they see me catching ghosts, they know what is going on. The leader of the snail was sitting on the back of the leader, and he casually threw a ghost rope to me, saying, "I've sent you!" Give it to the Ghost Division, and let this lazy guy go to the slave gate and get whipped! ”

I thanked him, picked up the rope and tied up the thief, picked up the Stygian Sea Shell that had fallen to the ground, and led the ghost all the way back. The ghost kept begging for mercy, but his eyes were looking in both directions, perhaps still wondering if there would be an accomplice to save him.

However, no ghost dared to come back, because Teng Shuli had already called a city guard.

The cart was lifted up again, and the ghost guy was still picking up the ingredients scattered on the ground, most of which were still usable, but more than half of the Stygian half-headed shellfish were snatched away, and a few were trampled on by me. Even if I count the three I recovered, I lost two-thirds of the goods I just received.

Teng Shuli was angrily yelling at the city guard, telling about the robbery process he had just encountered. The city guards also looked helpless, saying that there are many streets and alleys here, and those ghosts have run away, how can they all be caught back?

At this time, I came back with the thief who didn't run away. As soon as Teng Shuli saw the ghost, he went up and slapped a few big faces, almost stunting it.

"Even dare to rob things from my longevity hotel? Do you want to find death! ”

"Ouch! I was wrong! I was wrong! Stop it! ”

"Where are all your accomplices hiding? Say it! Teng Shuli yelled.

"I ...... I don't know...... Ouch! As soon as the unlucky thief spoke, he was slapped by Uncle Teng again before he finished speaking, and even spun around in place.

"I don't know!" "We usually mingle around on several streets, and we never have a fixed place to live. If we had, I'm afraid we would have been captured by the city guards a long time ago! ”

It doesn't say it like a lie. This group of thieves is a bunch of wandering ghosts, who are abducted and cheated and steal, and do everything. The city guards didn't have a good way to deal with them, after all, compared to those large-scale ghost gang fights, this kind of petty theft really couldn't be managed. So these thieves and ghosts took refuge everywhere under the arrest, expulsion and oppression of the city guards, ghost affairs department and ghost gangs, and survived in the cracks.

But Teng Shuli still refused to give up, raised his big hand high, and threatened: "Then you tell me honestly, what are you doing robbing my Stygian Sea Shell?" ”

"Eat it yourself...... No, no, no, it's to sell it for Yin Yuan! The thief saw that Teng Shuli's face was wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words.

"Where to sell?"

"Sell it...... Sell to the Fugui Building......"

"Fuguilou? Qiu Fugui is willing to accept these stolen Stygian Sea shells? ”

"Collect, the shopkeeper there is willing to pay half the price for ......"

"How do you know that Qiu Fugui is willing to accept your stolen goods? How do I know I've just bought here? Oh! Teng Shuli seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked angrily: "Did Qiu Fugui order you to rob me?" ”

“......”

"Speak quickly!"

"I, I, I don't know...... Ouch! ”

Teng Shuli was angry, and the ghost was still hesitant, so he slapped it directly with a big slap, and raised his foot and kicked it twice. Even though it's a thief, I can't stand it anymore.

"Yes, yes, yes! He was the one who told us that your nursing home is gone, so let's follow you and see if there's anything good we can do with it! ”

The thief finally confessed. It turns out that all this was arranged in advance! took advantage of the opportunity for Wei Dahu to leave on vacation, it was too cunning!

"Did you hear that, too? Let's go, you have to come with us and give us a critique! At this time, Teng Shuli ran to grab the city guard, and insisted that he also go to Fuguilou to settle accounts.

The city guard flatly refused. He said, "If it's just to catch the ghosts that ran away just now, I can take this one back for interrogation first, and find a way to track down its accomplices." But I can't guarantee that I'll catch it! If you're going to go to Fuguilou to reason, that's the matter of the Yin Division! ”

"Then you call the Yin Division!"

The city guard had no choice but to take out a piece of talisman paper from his body, write a few words on it with a talisman pen, and then burn it with ghost fire. He said to Teng Shuli: "You go directly to Fugui Building, and the people from the Yin Affairs Division will arrive later!" ”

With that, the city guard rode his worm up the stone wall and continued to patrol the top of the cave.

Uncle Teng picked up the unlucky thief from the ground, held the ghost rope in his hand, and then urged us to hurry to Fuguilou. But there were too many things on the cart, and there were many pedestrians and animals along the way, and the two ghost guys couldn't push fast.

I asked him, "Shopkeeper, why do you think it's a ghost from Fuguilou?" ”

Uncle Teng said angrily: "Who else can they have?" The Teng family and the Qiu family have opened the most hotels in Zuoqiu City, and Fuguilou is their largest restaurant and is our competitor! ”

"Competitors aren't going to be like that......"

"Whew!" Teng Shuli spat unceremoniously, "Those people of the Qiu family are very treacherous!" Especially that Qiu Fugui, from time to time, he likes to secretly move some small hands and feet, and I have found it several times! Either they are competing with us for customers, or they want to monopolize the top-level ingredient procurement, or even privately buy the ghost gang to make trouble in the longevity restaurant! Fight against me at every turn! ”

"Humph! This time, I finally caught the evidence, see if I don't mess up his rich building! ”

I looked at Teng Shuli's gritted teeth, and I didn't dare to ask any more, it seems that the grudge between him and that Qiu Fugui has been going on for a long time.

The building was on Ninth Street, and it took us another quarter of an hour to get there. This time, the people of the Yin Affairs Division moved quite quickly, and they actually arrived one step ahead of us. It was an arbitrator, dressed in the uniform of the Yin Division, standing in front of the Fugui Building and talking to a tall, thin man with a mustache.

Teng Shuli held back for a long time, and before the arbitrator could ask him, he pointed at the tall thin man and scolded: "Qiu Fugui!" Are you going to lose it? Do all these indiscriminate tricks all day long, and if you have the ability, you will come directly at me! Look at your thief-eyed appearance, it's a pity not to be a thief! ”
