It is a deep courtyard nestled in an old street in Hankow, away from the hustle and bustle. The mottled gates eroded by the wind and rain of the years are written on the lonely and gloomy.

And now, in this old house is sitting a young woman, she is wearing a red cheongsam with gold thread, her skin is fair and almost transparent, in this twilight house looks very out of place, this is the limit of taking people's money (soul) and people (ghosts) to eliminate disasters.

It was getting dark, and she sat under the old locust tree in the yard, quietly waiting for something.

"Why hasn't it been done yet?"

A voice came from the body of the old locust tree, this voice was a little old, revealing majesty.

Ye Quan sneered: "You old thing, we said before we signed the contract, the contract must be signed on the basis of complete sincerity, if you lie, the contract will be invalid, and the transaction between you and me will be completed." ”

"Liar? I didn't lie to you. ”

The voice was a little angry: "You go and inquire, what kind of person is Ye Laosan of my Hankou Gang, and what are you doing to deceive you, this little girl." ”

"You said that the Huang Scorpion of the Baoqing Gang abducted your daughter, but Huang Scorpio is an old man, an old man of seventy or eighty years old, how can he abduct your daughter, you are obviously making up lies and want us to help you harm Huang Scorpio."

"My Hankou gang is the head of the head, how can I deceive you as a female doll."

The owner of the voice became more and more angry.

"The Hankou Gang is amazing, didn't they all be kicked out of Hanzheng Street by the Baoqing Gang earlier? Now you are a lonely ghost trapped in the old locust tree and unable to move, what a fierce thing to me, I don't care if I annoy my aunt and grandmother, just let your old thing have no bones left here. ”

After speaking, Ye Liang turned around and left.

Seeing the bright red back, Ying Ying's waist was about to disappear at the door of the backyard, and the voice in the old locust tree hurriedly shouted: "Miss Ye, please, I don't want to suffer forever, please help me, let me be free." ”

There was a thumping sound as he spoke, as if someone was kneeling down and kowtowing.

Killing people is not enough, and letting a ghost kowtow like this may make ordinary people soft-hearted, but Ye Liang still walked forward regardless of it.

"Miss Ye, yes, I told a lie, I'll tell it now, please help me."

The old ghost began to wail.

In this courtyard, the wind blew fiercely in an instant, and the old locust trees swayed violently in the strong wind, and the leaves fell one after another.

The courtyard door slammed shut, and Ye Quan sneered: "Old thing, you dare to threaten me?" ”

Some faint black smoke gradually spread from above the old locust tree, and this black smoke gathered in the air into a faint human form, and then he couldn't help but bend down and prostrate, obviously pleading.

Ye Liang sat directly on the stone table, pointed to the shadow and said: "Come on, my aunt is not afraid of you, but I pity you, the boss is still so boring to be a ghost, how good it is to tell the truth earlier, come down, explain the matter clearly, if you have half a point of concealment, it will make you lose your soul and be miserable." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The black shadow dispersed again, merging into the old locust tree, and then a voice was extremely sad: "I can only rely on this old locust tree to gather all the spirits, and I can't leave the old tree for too long." ”

"Tell me, how old is Yellow Scorpio, and how your daughter was abducted by him."

"Well, that guy was a humble tailor at first! Just a little tailor! ”

Ye Laosan said angrily.

When Ye Quan heard this, he secretly said that it was not right, if this yellow scorpion was really a tailor, then according to the information obtained by Zhaonan, he must be an old man of seventy or eighty years old, how could he abduct other people's big girls.

"He was a poor tailor who made clothes for people on Hanzheng Street. I don't know how my daughters found out about the shop, and he began to buy them often to my house to tailor them to the girls, and they got acquainted with the little girl Ye Feng after coming and going. ”

Ye Liang chuckled in his heart: "Ye Laosan, what year are you talking about?" ”

"What year? I'm old, confused, and trapped in this big locust tree for many years, and I don't know which year it is, it's always before Xinhai, and Brother Hong hasn't been a big president yet. Well, that's it, Brother Hong is the president, and our Hankou Gang has also contributed. ”

Ye Liang suddenly understood, she couldn't cry or laugh: This was a misunderstanding from the beginning, this old ghost was a hero when he was alive, but he was a ghost but he was confused, he forgot the time and remembered the wrong era, he said what happened in the former Qing Dynasty, where is this!

also blamed himself, the old ghost asked someone to come to the door and he was moved by the soul of a gang boss and fifty gold bars, so he came to Wuhan according to the old ghost's request, and the old ghost kept saying that Huang Scorpio had abducted his daughter, and he took it for granted that this yellow scorpion was a handsome young man, and he didn't check it with the old ghost. It's over, it's a waste of time and effort, not to mention, Zhao Nan still ran to hook up with other people's big girls, how can this be explained?

The old ghost noticed that Ye Quan's face was different, and hurriedly said, "Girl, what I said is true, and there is no lie. ”

"You old thing, you have confused the time, and we have done so many things in vain, whether it is a yellow scorpion or your daughter, they are all sixty or seventy years old, what is the point of revenge now, maybe they have already gone down to find you. In this case, if you take out twenty gold bars, even if I pay for the preliminary investigation, I will not settle accounts with you. That's it, you old foolish soul, I'm not interested in it. ”

"No, they're all alive. I can't move here, but there are always some lonely ghosts passing by in this yard, last time I asked a ghost to go to the girl for help, the girl can help people and ghosts take revenge, I also listened to those ghosts, I have been trapped here for a year and a year, I have entrusted a lot of ghosts to help me inquire, the two of them are still alive, and they are still alive, no one remembers my old bones! My daughter, I was picked up from the river when I ran the boat, I Ye Laosan is still weak under his knees, my wife and I think this is the daughter sent by the dragon prince, as a treasure, how do you know that my daughter was raised, but was abducted by the yellow scorpion, and he calculated me together! seized the dock of my Hankou Gang, and I was removed from the gang! ”

When Ye Laosan said this, his voice gradually choked.

Only then did Ye Liang completely understand why he investigated by himself, there has never been Ye Laosan in the Hankou Gang, and it turned out that he was removed from the list as early as the former Qing Dynasty.

"Then you go on, as long as they live, if they are really sorry for you and hurt you like this, I will still fulfill my responsibilities according to the contract, even if they are seventy or eighty old people."

"That Huang Scorpion took the opportunity to make clothes, met my daughter, and I don't know what means, my stupid daughter was fascinated for him, I was busy with the affairs of the gang at that time, and the Baoqing Gang fought and killed all day long, where did I know that this happened at home, until later, the prefect came forward to ask our two families to negotiate and reconcile, I asked someone to take out the family heirloom iron shoes, I wanted to use this to beat the arrogance of the Baoqing Gang, who would have thought, my daughter had already told the Yellow Scorpio the secret of how to wear iron shoes, and the guy actually put on iron shoes and walked around, Since then, our Hankou Gang has been driven out of Hanzheng Street and withdrawn from the Hankou Wharf. ”

Ye Liang nodded: Yes, yes, this is consistent with the information that Zhao Nan got! It turned out that Huang Scorpio wore iron shoes with Ye Feng's help. sighed and said, "That's no way, girl's foreign minister." Turning your elbow outward, it is also forgivable to help the little lover, besides, your son-in-law Huang Scorpio is also a big hero, and he manages the Baoqing Gang in an orderly manner, and it is not a loss for you to get such a son-in-law. ”

"Hmph, the two of them acted in an embarrassed way, causing me to be kicked out of the Hankou Gang, Miss Ye, do you know that once we, the people in the rivers and lakes, are kicked out of the gang, how many enemies will come to seek revenge? To live is to avoid countless enemies, and when you die, you are trapped here by the enemy, you say, I am not bitter! Wronged! ”
