Chapter 6 Ingenuity and Cunning
The man didn't show weakness after hearing Sun Yan's words, slapped the table and stood up and said, "Then you are also going to take care of this idle matter?" Ji Yazhai hacked my paintings and forged pawn tickets, and I am not afraid of where this lawsuit will go. ”
Sun Yan's sleepy eyes drooped even lower, and he said slowly: "You bought the lawyer of the shopkeeper Feng and persuaded him not to call the police, it is precisely because you like the honest shopkeeper Feng, and in the case of unfavorable evidence, you will consider yourself unlucky, right?" ”
"You're framing ......"
"I haven't finished talking yet," Sun Yan said with a smile: "More than ten years ago, a bizarre thing happened in Shaanxi, there was a person who was suspected of stealing something locally, but because he appeared in the capital thousands of miles away at the time, there was obvious alibi evidence, so he cleared the suspicion." ”
The man opened his mouth.
Sun Yan didn't let him open his mouth and continued: "I happened to be begging for food in that area at that time, and I heard from the old Huazi that there is an organization on the rivers and lakes that specializes in adopting twins to commit crimes. Do you think your handprints will be the same as the scam that appeared in both places at the same time? ”
The man sat down in his chair and retorted: "You are talking nonsense, I am an only child, my parents are still alive, how can I have any brothers?" ”
"Yes, yes." Sun Yan waved his hand: "Also, that organization heard that it is extremely mysterious, and they will do anything, after they adopt the twins, they will arrange a new identity for one of them, and then the other will become the shadow of his brother, never appearing, except when committing crimes." Since your parents are still alive, you probably won't refuse to allow them to check your kinship when the police come, right? ”
The man was shocked when he heard this, and he was already in a cold sweat, but Sun Yan said again: "The reason why your shadow brother wants to write with a brush is to avoid carbon paper, and use the ink of cuttlefish to make ink, and wait for the trick of writing contracts to defraud people and property after the protein is decomposed. ”
"Brother Sun, you mean?" Shopkeeper Feng looked at Sun Yan in surprise.
Sun Yan nodded and didn't speak again, the man was short of breath, and it took a long time to raise his head and look at Sun Yan like a ghost: "How do you know this?" What do you want? ”
Sun Yan snorted and said, "I just said, you leave the contract, return the money to the shopkeeper Feng, and take your fake painting away, otherwise I will call the police." If you think about it, it's not easy for you to organize and train you, if you do what I say, for you, it's just a single deal that hasn't been done, but if you are caught, the organization is afraid that you will say something that you shouldn't say...... What do you think? I'm afraid even your brother will be cleaned up, right? ”
The man thought nervously for a long time and said, "I'll do what you say, and you promise not to leak our affairs?" ”
Sun Yan smiled: "Are you afraid that I won't be able to collect the money back if I call the police now?" But what's in it for me? And worry about your retaliation, don't you? Today, let's close the door and finish the matter, open the door and go our separate ways, no one knows anyone, as long as you don't provoke me, I won't care about other things. ”
The man nodded: "I want to make a phone call, I don't have any money on me, in order to be safe, we asked Boss Feng for cash." ”
"Yes." Sun Yan said: "Let's fight here, anyway, you all have secret words, and we don't understand it, I believe your organization will agree to my proposal." ”
Things were exactly the same as Sun Yan expected, after the man called, he quickly asked for the card number of the shopkeeper Feng, and asked people to transfer the money and even the principal and interest. Then he left the contract, took a deep look at Sun Yan, and left with his fake painting and pawn ticket.
"Brother Sun." Shopkeeper Feng was excited: "It's all thanks to you this time, my brother really didn't mistake you, I knew you were not an ordinary person from the first time I saw you." In this way, Brother Sun, you tell me the card number, and the money is half of yours. ”
Sun Yan smiled and said, "My brother also helped me, let's settle it today." ”
"Don't," Shopkeeper Feng said busily, "I'd rather give you all this money, and I have to make you owe me." ”
The two looked at each other and laughed. When it was almost time for dinner, Shopkeeper Feng asked Zhao Quan to look at the store, and he invited Sun Yan to a nearby steamed bun shop to eat.
"Brother Sun," Shopkeeper Feng asked during the meal, "Why did you stop me from talking about fake paintings in the store just now?" ”
Sun Yan said: "Is Brother Feng playing dumb riddles with me?" There's nothing left behind in and out of your store, so why do you have to find out? ”
Feng Jing sighed and said, "Alas, I didn't expect that even Zhao Quan was bought by them. ”
Sun Yan shook his head: "You are wrong, Zhao Quan was originally in league with them." That's why I didn't let you pick out what I said. ”
"What, this ......"
Sun Yan said: "Zhao Quan only came to your store half a year ago, right?" This is something they have arranged a long time ago. ”
Feng Jing said angrily: "I'll quit him when I go back." ”
"No," Sun Yan said, "You have to pretend that you don't know anything, and don't do a big deal recently." Aren't you mainly helping people watch feng shui to ward off evil spirits now? Let's focus on this first, he will leave after a few days to see that you have no oil and water and will not reveal today's secret. ”
Feng Jing was surprised: "Brother Sun, do you mean them...... Aren't we in danger? ”
Sun Yan said with a smile: "As long as you make the appearance of calming things down, you will be fine if you deceive Zhao Quan, as for me, they will definitely not let it go, in short, I am not afraid." ”
Feng Jing was ashamed and said: "Brother Sun, I really caused you trouble, I would have given them money if I knew it." Alas, it's all my fault for being too greedy. ”
Sun Yan comforted him and said: "Don't say that, brother, they are eyeing you, even if you are not fooled once, there will be a second time." ”
Feng Jing said gratefully: "Thank you, brother, it's a great blessing for my brother to know you." I didn't expect you to not only have real ability, but also know all about these ghost tricks in the rivers and lakes. ”
Sun Yan just remembered what he was thinking about when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, brother, have you ever heard of the Central Plains Ghost Market?" ”
Feng Jing sighed: "I haven't heard anyone talk about ghost markets for many years. Brother, don't look at the old brother who is eating now, when I mentioned my grandfather, he was also a well-known living immortal, so you can be regarded as asking, I am afraid that there is no second person in this City God Temple who knows. Brother, do you know the origin of this ghost market? ”
Sun Yanxin said that this is not nonsense, do you know that I still ask you? Busy said: "Brother, tell me quickly, I also heard about it a few years ago, and I don't even know where it is, and now I just want to trade something." ”
Feng Jing's eyes suddenly became deep, as if he had seen the distant past: "Everyone in the world thinks that the Central Plains Ghost Market is the largest black market in the world of magicians, and it can even trade with ghosts and gods, but this is all wrong. Heaven, earth and earth, how can there be a reason to allow people and ghosts to trade? The ghost market in the Central Plains, to put it bluntly, is actually a human market. ”
"People City?!" Sun Yan was rarely moved.
"That's right." Feng Jing nodded: "I went with my grandfather once a few years ago. Grandpa told me that the ghost market was actually a place where the real hidden forces in the magic world were established to select disciples, and even immortals appeared. It is impossible to verify the earliest era in which it first existed, but then it was reduced to a trading bazaar, as long as you can take out what others need, then wealth, lifespan, spiritual treasures, magic skills, and even ghost servants, everything can be obtained. ”
Sun Yan was puzzled: "Didn't my brother just say that it was not allowed?" ”
Feng Jing sighed and said, "The black market is not allowed, doesn't it still exist?" As people in the world are blinded by utilitarianism, there are fewer and fewer geniuses, and those hidden forces have also lost patience, except for occasionally going to the secret to see if there are any outstanding talents, and they are no longer too lazy to manage the ghost market, so they have become what they are today. ”
Sun Yan asked, "Then how do you get to the ghost market?" ”
"The rules of going to the ghost market have not changed, and the qualified families or forces will receive invitations in advance on the day of the opening of the market, and get a different number of qualification cards, while small families or scattered people must first compete in the dark market of the province, and only those who enter the top ten in various competitions can get the qualification card, and the qualification card will naturally have the time and region of the ghost market opening."
"The dark market of this province?" Sun Yan heard about it for the first time.
Feng Jing wondered: "What? Brother Sun doesn't even know about the dark market? In fact, the competition is only carried out in secret, and not many people know about it, but the dark market trading is very famous, and even many outsiders will participate. ”
Sun Yan hadn't heard of the dark market because his Sun family was almost always the first to get an invitation to the ghost market and never participated in such unpopular gatherings, but he didn't know this, so he hurriedly asked, "Brother, I really haven't heard of it." So where is the dark market? When does it start? Is it in sync with the ghost market? ”
Feng Jing said with a smile: "The opening time of the ghost market is uncertain, and it is all decided according to the value of the trading items in the previous session and the number of geniuses that appear, sometimes twice a year, sometimes once every few years. However, the dark market is fixed every month, and the market will be opened on the day of New Year's Day and Wang, which is basically to trade some magic weapons or medicinal materials, and the address is different every time, but it is easy to inquire. ”
Feng Jing knew what Sun Yan wanted to ask, and said first: "Three months before the opening of the ghost market, a venue will be set up in the dark market, and anyone with a recommendation can enter to participate in the competition. ”
Sun Yanqi said: "Do you still want to recommend signing?" What is that? ”
"Brother, don't worry." Feng Jingyi waved his hand: "The recommendation sign is equivalent to a letter of introduction, which is issued to the small family or the scattered people by the forces recognized by the ghost city, brother, I still have a few here, and my brother wants to take it." It's just that this is more important than fighting brothers, because the strength of each province is different, and the specialization is not the same, so there will be differences. For example, we pay attention to medical Taoism, arithmetic and martial arts, so there will be ten to twenty places in these three categories, while there will only be three to five places for talismans, manufacturing, and magic, or even not at all, in order to average the strength of each province. If you are determined to win, it is okay to go to provinces and cities where it is easy to show your strengths. ”
Sun Yan thought to himself that it was really convenient for him to be convenient with others, and his harvest today was really not small, he had obtained so much information from Feng Jing, and Feng Jing also promised to notify him once the dark market competition began.
After eating, Sun Yan said goodbye to Feng Jing and walked home, but before he left the City God's Temple Street, he found that he had been followed.
