Hongsui County, as a large county of Guliang Prefecture, once had the qualification to compete for the capital city, but now the war has not affected here, and everywhere is prosperous.

The city is lined with teahouses and restaurants, and many people who have fled the war have moved here, making it more prosperous than ever.

A prosperous place, densely populated, and merchants themselves are also prevalent.

Yeming and Miss Shen took an ox cart all the way to Hongsui County.

As soon as I entered the county, I saw someone in the city singing on stage, according to the people around me, this is Master He who has opened a new shop and is singing the opening of the opera!

Yeming asked again who this old man is.

Some people explained that this was a strange person, and when the court was still there, he was promoted to Jinshi, and then went to Renzhi County.

It's just that for some reason, after he was a county magistrate for a few years, he resigned and didn't do it, but started to do business.

The way of a businessman has been inferior since ancient times, and it is really strange that this person is a good official and does not do it, but he does it as a businessman.

However, this business ability is indeed extraordinary, and over the years, the wealth accumulated is second to none in the entire Guliang Mansion.

As he was talking, he saw that after a play was sung on the stage, all the actors respectfully retreated, and a middle-aged man in his forties, with a short beard, some literary temperament, and a businessman's temperament, walked up.

When everyone saw this, they all called this person "Master He".

This is the largest businessman in Hongsui County, He Shichuan.

After this Mr. He came to the stage, he spoke politely, in short, I still hope that everyone can go to his newly opened restaurant to eat and drink.

After talking for a while, he said that he would open today, and all the wine and dishes in the restaurant would be 7% off.

After he finished speaking, Ye Ming said to Miss Shen with a smile:

"Seven folds, it seems to be pretty good, let's try it too."

"Is my brother rich?"

"Nope."

"How do you get there?"

"I can tell fortunes, there are a lot of people here, just help people calculate a few hexagrams."

Ye Ming smiled, and led Miss Shen into the newly opened "He Family Restaurant".

Opened today, there are indeed a lot of people, the first and second floors are directly full, and the third floor, which is specially prepared for people with status and status, also has a lot of people.

Master He personally led the local magistrate and the squire to the third floor.

Seeing this, Yeming smiled and said:

"Look, as a shopkeeper, he didn't go to other restaurants to entertain guests, which shows that he is very confident in his own wine and food."

Miss Shen said:

"Isn't my brother going to tell a fortune? Now it's just right. ”

"That's it, that's it."

Ye Ming smiled, and took out a bunch of copper coins, bamboo chips, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. from his sleeve like a trick.

Put these things on the table one by one, and set up a flag of "crazy gods".

When all the guests saw this, they were all curious.

Seeing that he really looked like a crazy person, I couldn't help but believe it.

It's funny to say, no one would believe the nonsense of a madman on a normal day.

But when this madman plays a fortune-telling signboard, everyone will subconsciously feel that he is more accurate than ordinary people.

The people who can come here to join in the fun and eat basically have some spare money, and someone immediately stepped forward to let them count.

This person will not be embarrassed to say anything in front of so many people, so he will ask about the recent fortune.

Yeming picked up the copper coin and calculated it repeatedly, and then picked up a pen and wrote a bunch of messy and incomprehensible things on the paper.

After tossing for a long time, he said the other party's recent fortune.

When the man heard it, what had happened in the first half was right, and although the second half had not happened, it was really possible to be as Yeming said.

Seeing that this madman seemed to be able to calculate accurately, everyone stepped forward one after another to ask for a hexagram.

Seeing this, the restaurant manager moved his eyes, not only did he not rush Ye Ming away, but asked the shopkeeper to go outside to advertise that there was a fortune teller here.

Xiao Er did as he said, and after a while, there was another group of customers in the store.

Seeing that there were more guests, the restaurant steward couldn't stop smiling, and even arranged for Xiao Er to send a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine to Yeming for free.

Miss Shen has been helping by Yeming's side.

After watching it for a long time, she found that the thing she wrote and drew on the paper didn't seem to be a profound calculation method at all, and it seemed to be really scribbled.

Moreover, this person's use of copper coins is also very casual, looking mysterious, but it just makes her feel that this is throwing around.

The results that can be calculated are correct.

This made Miss Shen a little incomprehensible, no wonder they all said that fortune tellers chattered and behaved strangely.

Now it seems that it was.

After a while, Yeming has made a lot of money.

Seeing that it was almost the same, he resolutely closed the stall and didn't bring a penny to earn more.

When everyone saw this, they were disappointed, and some people were willing to pay double the price and beg him to add another hexagram.

But it was rejected by Yeming on the grounds that the sky had passed and could not be counted.

Everyone also knows that fortune tellers have strange rules, and when they see that he doesn't earn money, they don't say much.

Yeming looked at the money on the table, and didn't take it, but just asked Xiao Er to come to the recipe and even some wine.

Xiao Er calculated, the money he earned was just enough for this meal, not much, not a lot.

"Come, little sister, sit!"

Yeming pointed to her seat and motioned for Miss Shen to sit down.

Miss Shen sat down as she said, her eyes still looking around.

Seeing this, Yeming asked with a smile:

"What are you looking for?"

"Find someone or something out of the ordinary."

"What are you looking for those things for, but only add to your troubles."

"Since my brother brought me here, it can't really be just eating and drinking."

"Look, look, can there still be a little bit of trust between people?

In your eyes, I just go wherever I go, is there something going on?

Do I look a lot like the living Hades? ”

Yeming criticized this "little sister" for her improper thinking.

was criticizing, the restaurant manager suddenly came over respectfully and said politely:

"This gentleman, my lord, please tell me upstairs."

Miss Shen, who was receiving Yeming's criticism, saw this and glanced at him, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Ye Ming was not embarrassed at all, and naturally replied to the words of the steward:

"Tell your master, my fortune-telling today is over, and I can't count it anymore."

"My lord doesn't tell his fortune, he just wants to ask for some things.

Even if it's not convenient for you to tell fortunes today, you can go up and say a few words to my master. ”

The steward's posture was very low, and he repeatedly invited Yeming.

Seeing this, Yeming stretched his waist, stood up helplessly, turned his head and said to Miss Shen:

"Little sister, you have also seen it, things will always come to the door, you can't hide!"

When Miss Shen heard this, she just smiled, and then said:

"I'll go with my brother."

"Haha, that's great."

The two followed the steward upstairs, and soon saw Master He, the local magistrate, the squire and others.

When everyone saw them come up, except for a few people who focused their eyes on Miss Shen, most of the others were paying attention to Yeming.

Miss Shen saw that a few people were looking at her incorrectly, so she moved a little behind Ye Ming.

As my own brother, it is natural to help myself share the pressure.

The steward was very restrained in front of this group of people, and knelt directly on the ground and said to bring the people.

However, Yeming was completely indifferent to these so-called big shots, and just laughed and said hello.

Seeing this, the magistrate and the others all frowned, and they were a little disgusted by this unruly madman.

Seeing this, Master He smiled and invited the two of them to sit in the room and not talk about things here.

Although he is a businessman, after all, he was born as a Jinshi, and his original ranking was not low, and now his fame is also there, and it is not easy for the county magistrate and others to lose his face.

One of the squires was a little reluctant to leave and looked at Miss Shen from time to time, his gaze was disgusting.

After he left, Master He smiled and said to a person beside him:

"Recently, Lao Chen has been a little idle, and his mind has become debauched, you go and help him find something to do.

This person, it's better to be a little busy, even if you have the mind, you don't have that time. ”

When the people around him heard this, they nodded, and then withdrew from here.

When the steward saw this, he also retreated, so that there were only three of them in the room.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Ye Ming smiled at Master He and said:

"Master He has a heart, I thank you on behalf of my little sister."

Miss Shen also gave a salute to Master He.

Master He waved his hand, and there was no shelf, just smiled:

"After all, there is a request for others, and Corporal Lixian should also be."

When Ye Ming heard this, he sat down in the seat where Fang Caizhi County was sitting, and stretched out his hand to signal Miss Shen to sit down.

I really don't think of myself as an outsider at all.

When Master He saw this, he didn't care, and he didn't feel offended, but thought that what he asked for might really be hopeful.

After the two sides sat down, they first exchanged polite names and salutations.

Then, Ye Ming smiled and asked:

"I don't know why Master He called me here, what are you doing?"

"I would like to ask Mr. Zenyuan, do youkai also have fate?"

"Everything in the world has a fate, and monsters naturally have them."

Yeming replied casually.

When Master He heard this, he was immediately a little disappointed:

"So it seems that they are not lying......"

Ye Ming smiled: "Master He hasn't said anything about himself yet." ”

Master He shook his head lightly and said: "Mr. Shanyuan said that monsters also have fate, and that thing has not been fated so far, so what's the use of me just saying it?" ”

"Master He knows that the monster's fate is still ending, and I think he has asked a lot of people."

Ye Ming judged with a smile.

"Yes, I have asked many talented people over the years, and they all said that the life of that thing is still endless, and it cannot be killed."

Speaking of this, Master He punched his thigh with some pain on his face.

Yeming didn't sigh anything, but said:

"Master He said this, then I am more and more curious about the origin of that monster, and I would like to ask Master He to briefly talk about it."

When Master He heard this, he sighed and chose to tell the matter.

It's not complicated, when he was the magistrate, he sent a letter to his hometown to bring his wife and mother here.

Who knew that when passing through the Spike Lake, which was twenty miles away from here, he suddenly encountered a huge turtle monster.

His wife, his mother, and all his servants were devoured by this monster.

He Shichuan was grief-stricken, and went to visit various avenues and temples, and asked the masters to get rid of the demons and take revenge.

Originally, he had already hired people, but when the other party heard that he was going to deal with the turtle monster in Suihu Lake, he repented and said that he couldn't get rid of this monster.

He Shichuan was puzzled, and asked again and again, only then did he learn the reason.

It turned out that in the previous dynasty, there was a faint monarch who liked to play, and once led everyone to swim in Sui Lake, he encountered wind and waves.

Seeing that the big ship was about to capsize, a turtle monster appeared, and this monster helped Pingbo to help the boat and save the faint king.

Subsequently, the turtle monster asked for a reward from the faint king.

The faint monarch is also unwise, and Xu can live in Suihu Lake for a long time, and there is no need to worry about external threats.

No matter how faint the king is, it is also the emperor, with Tianxian in his mouth, and in a word, there will be luck.

Since then, this strange luck has been added, as long as you don't leave Suihu, you will not be afraid of monks and gods.

At the beginning, the monster did good deeds, maintained his reputation, and won a good reputation, and was called a good turtle by the people on both sides of the strait.

It was only later that the monster found that even if he was free to do evil, no one could control him, so he began to be presumptuous.

The people on both sides of the strait hated him deeply and renamed him the Evil Turtle Gong.

He Shichuan has sought to eliminate demons several times, but to no avail.

Grief-stricken, he resigned and did not do it.

If it weren't for the fact that I still had children to raise, I am afraid that I would have committed suicide in despair at that time.

Later, in order to raise his children, he didn't want to rely on the identity of the master of Jinshi to exploit the people, so he thought about doing a little business.

Unexpectedly, this will make the business bigger......

To this day, when this matter is not mentioned, He Shichuan can still do everything as usual, and once he mentions it, he still gritted his teeth and beat his chest.

It's just that I hate myself for being incompetent, and I can't get rid of the monster that wantonly does evil......
