Chapter 334: The Midyear Festival of the Ghost Realm

Li Zhong is the most famous middleman in the Xicheng area.

The concept of a middleman is to buy a house at a low price and sell it at a high price to make a huge profit.

The world knows the sins of middlemen, but they dare not speak out, and it is useless to dare to speak out. The middleman is Fang Laolai, and he has gathered a lot of thugs to defend his rights, how can ordinary bosses fight with it?

When Li Zhong was vicious, he once said to outsiders: "Lao Tzu, an official below the third grade, didn't take it seriously!"

It is said that Li Zhong and the Ministry of Industry of the empire are brothers who worship the son, and the officials and businessmen protect each other, and they are infinitely arrogant.

Di Yunfeng happened to be a third-grade official, and in terms of political rights, he happened to be at the level of the Ministry of Industry, so Li Zhong naturally had to be polite.

"Sit down. Di Yunfeng pointed to the next seat.

Li Zhong took a seat, but Wang Liang stood aside with his virtuous wife and did not dare to take a seat.

"What's the matter? Why are you polite to me, sit down to eat? Di Yunfeng pointed to the side seat.

Wang Liang bowed and saluted, "How can Wang Liang and his military attache be qualified to share the table with the adults, we are standing." ”

Mu Xin pulled Wang Liangxian's wife to sit down, and said angrily: "Then you just stand, don't let your daughter-in-law stand." ”

Wang Liang's virtuous wife pulled Wang Liang, and Wang Liang hesitated several times and had to sit down.

Di Yunfeng poured himself a glass of wine, patted the table lightly, the wine glass left the table, and then lightly pointed at Li Zhong, and the wine glass flew towards Li Zhong.

Li Zhongmo looked thin and small, and his cultivation actually had a ghost pill period, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, took the wine and thanked him: "Thank you Dali Temple for the wine." ”

Out of courtesy, Di Yunfeng raised his glass to drink with him, put down the wine glass and said, "I invite Mr. Li to come today, the purpose is very clear. My subordinates want to buy a courtyard house in Xicheng, you can give a discount, and it will be easy to talk in the future. ”

Li Zhongyu said with a smile: "Dali Siqing doesn't know, the housing price has instructions from the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Households, if the price is reduced again, this one will share a little, that one will share a little, and there will be no oil and water in my hands." ”

Di Yunfeng said coldly: "Mr. Li really doesn't know how to settle accounts, if you sell it to me cheaper, we will become friends." In the future, if you have any entanglements in the case, I can settle them with a wave of my hand. On such an occasion, don't say that you can't get oil and water, even if you lose money, you should sell it to me. ”

Li Zhong didn't appreciate it, as can be seen from his expression. He didn't even show his tactfulness, and shook his head and said, "Lord Siqing, I really can't be accommodating here......"

"You" Di Yunfeng was angry, anger is murder! Mu Xin held him down, shook his head to signal not to be impulsive, and then said to Li Zhong: "Mr. Li, I also have a certain friendship with Li Qiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Wang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, also knows him, and Zuo Xian, the secretary of the Ministry of Crime, will come with a call...... Since everyone knows each other so well, why not be accommodating?"

Li Zhongzuo looked thoughtful, Di Yunfeng, Mu Xin, Wang Liang and his wife, and all four pairs of eyes looked at him expectantly. In the end, he slapped the table, opened his hand and compared a five-character character, and said: "Accommodation can only be less than this number with adults, and please don't embarrass me." ”

"Is it less than 50,000?!" Wang Liang said in surprise.

Li Zhong shook his head.

Di Yunfeng grimaced.

"Five thousand?" Wang Liang's wife bit her lip, if you can reduce five thousand ghost jade, it is not a few.

Li Zhong shook his head.

Di Yunfeng's face turned dark.

"Five hundred?" Mu Xin said coldly.

Li Zhong nodded: "I only have"

"Knock!" Di Yunfeng was furious, and kicked the table to smash, "Choke!" When the ghost knife came out of the sheath, the knife flashed, "Boom!" "Qiang!"

"Fuck you, when will it be your turn to be able to endure it in front of my eyes?" Di Yunfeng said as he pointed to Li Zhong's head before he could close his eyes.

Several people at the same table were stunned, and the other guests in the inn also ran downstairs, and the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were lying at the staircase, only daring to look and not speak.

"He's a member of the Sixth Division...... only Mu Xin dared to sigh.

"The people of the sixth department dare to be arrogant in front of me?" Di Yunfeng blushed angrily, and he beckoned to the guy who was lying on his stomach at the staircase to watch the play: "Xiao Er, go and call you who can speak!"

The little guy glanced at the middle-aged man who was lying beside him, and said tremblingly: "Palm...... Shopkeeper, my lord, he called you. ”

The shopkeeper's face was bitter, he hesitated for a while, turned around and ran downstairs Di Yunfeng grabbed him in the air, and led his fat body to his side. He knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Lord Siqing, Lord Siqing, I have never done anything bad since I went out to the kiln a few times, my lord spares my life......"

Di Yunfeng said coldly: "I want to buy your inn, you make a price." ”

"Ah......" Mo said that it was the shopkeeper, Mu Xin and Wang Liang were all shocked and their mouths grew.

"You're crazy?...... Mu Xin whispered again.

"Repair the noise!" Di Yunfeng shouted angrily, pointed to the shopkeeper on the ground and said: "Today I will buy this inn, if you don't give me an offer within three breaths, I will kill you with a knife!"

"800,000!" the shopkeeper immediately said, "Together with the decorations, tables and chairs, I will sell you 800,000 yuan!"

Di Yunfeng glared and said, "You shabby inn, you haven't seen any business, and there are only two teleportation arrays, so you want 800,000?"

The shopkeeper's expression was weak, obviously the price was overstated, and he hurriedly changed his words: "Seven hundred thousand...... 700,000 is the money I paid for the purchase of this inn, my lord, it can't be lower, again

If it's low, you'll have to pay ......"

Di Yunfeng snorted coldly: "No business, no treachery, will you compensate?" He asked Mu Xin behind him again: "Mu Shaoqing, this person is a prostitute, how should he rebel according to the laws of the empire?"

Mu Xin lightly spit out two words: "Palace Punishment ......"

"Palace...... Palace Punishment!" The shopkeeper almost fainted, hugged Di Yunfeng's thigh and said: "Lord Siqing, spare your life, 600,000, 600,000 will be sold to you!

Di Yunfeng compared five fingers, and finally bargained: "500,000! Buy your lifeline and inn, can you agree?"

The shopkeeper shed sad tears: "For the sake of my life, 500,000 is 500,000......"

Di Yunfeng said: "Very good!" Then he took out a large storage bag from his sleeve and threw it to the shopkeeper: "Oh, take it, there are 550,000 ghost jade here, after you go out, don't say that Lord Siqing has cheated you, understand?"

The shopkeeper wiped his tears, holding the storage bag and smiling on his face, he was afraid that Di Yunfeng would regret it, so he got up and ran downstairs: "Lord Siqing, you wait for me, I will get the deed for you immediately!"

"Bang Bang!" went downstairs.

"Da Da Da!" went upstairs.

The shopkeeper soon went upstairs with a small box, he opened the box, took out more than a dozen documents inside and handed them to Di Yunfeng: "Look, Lord Siqing, all the formalities are here. ”

Di Yunfeng glanced at it a few times, held the small box, and showed a smile: "Happy cooperation." ”

"Then I'll step aside, please take care of yourself, sir!" said the shopkeeper grinned, turned and ran faster than a rabbit.

Di Yunfeng folded the deed and documents, closed the box and handed it to Wang Liangdao: "Then from now on, this inn will belong to you." ”

Wang Liang didn't dare to answer: "Senior, I can't accept this." ”

Di Yunfeng saw the box stuffed into Wang Liang's hand, and said with a smile: "This inn is not for you alone, if there are any guests in Dali Temple in the future, I will arrange him to stay in this inn." After all, Dali Temple is close to the ghost prison, and the ghosts cry wolves all day long, and no one wants to live there. ”

After Di Yunfeng said this, Wang Liang had no choice but to accept the deed, but immediately said: "This inn is still your predecessor, I just manage it for you, if you need it, just take it back!"

Di Yunfeng nodded, pulled Wang Liang to the corner, and said softly: "After the inn is cleaned up, you go to Qianzhao to collect the teleportation information to the Distortion Realm, and I will wait for you here after the virtual time." ”

The purpose of buying the inn is not only to give it to Wang Liang, it is very suitable to use it as a place to discuss it, and the next action Di Yunfeng does not want to involve Mu Xin.

"What are you discussing?

Di Yunfeng returned to normal and said, "It's nothing, I just explained the future development and construction of Wang Liang Inn." ”

Mu Xin pointed to the decapitated corpse of Li Zhong lying on the ground: "What about him, what should I do?"

Di Yunfeng said coldly: "Throw it out and feed the dogs." ”

Mu Xin shook his head: "There are no dog ...... here"

Di Yunfeng said: "Then just find a place to burn, this kind of person wastes air when he lives and wastes land when he dies." ”

Mu Xin said worriedly: "What about the follow-up? He is the brother of the Ministry of Works, and he has a good relationship with the Ministry of Households, but it just so happens that you have a conflict with the Sixth Department, and ...... If you kill people in public, what will people say about you when you go out? Dali Temple Qing kills people in broad daylight!"

Di Yunfeng snorted coldly: "If I kill one of their dogs, they will come to kill me, then what do I have to say? Also, if someone really rumors that I killed people in broad daylight and summer, saying that I am not good, then that's fine, I will eliminate the harm for them, but I will come to abuse them earlier, and in the future, Dali Temple will not accept civil cases, let them play by themselves!"

Mu Xin shook his head and sighed lightly: "How can you say it so easily, they won't call some ruffians and lepers and say bad things about you everywhere?"

"Then I will arrest those lepers and ruffians who create rumors, torture them to extract confessions, let them be my witnesses, teach them to tell the truth about how to slander me, and post a big-character poster at the gates of the major cities, so that all the bosses of the imperial capital will know the crimes of the six departments of Shangshu?"

Di Yunfeng poked his chest and said arrogantly: "Lao Tzu is an official, the highest judicial chief of the empire, except for the Emperor of Hades who can remove me, who can bear me?"

"Okay, okay, you're a big official, you're terrible, I don't care about you. Mu Xin walked down the stairs with his toes high. She thought Di Yunfeng would catch up.

"Ouch, no matter how good you are, then I won't have to break the bank to buy you clothes. Di Yunfeng stood on the windowsill and said freely in the wind.

When Mu Xin heard this, she remembered that she still had something important to do, but when she went upstairs again, Di Yunfeng had already jumped from the window.

"Don't run!" she exclaimed, using a clever trick like a gust of wind out of the window!

Wang Liang was dumbfounded: "Mu Shaoqing's cultivation is so high!"

The potential of women to burst out in terms of buying clothes is not something that ordinary people can imagine. Always.

......

......

When Di Yunfeng and Mu Xin came out of Zilan Pavilion, the hour was not early, less than half an hour before the empty hour.

Di Yunfeng was tired, the reason was that his left and right hands were full of packaged paper bags, for him with true martial power, these eight pieces of clothes should be as light as fallen leaves, but who knew that if these clothes were replaced with ghost jade, there would be at least 200,000 ......

Mu Xin's hands are empty, and he has a piece of emerald on his body

The cloud-colored long skirt highlights her graceful figure to the extreme, and this is the jasper glass skirt she has always missed.

"This dress is simply made for Mrs. Siqing, look at it, how dazzling this accessory is, how appropriate is this fork in the door, you are walking on the street, you are as bright as a star!" The proprietress of Zilan Pavilion sent Mu Xin and Di Yunfeng out the door, followed by dozens of female customers. The female customers looked at the "jasper glass dress" on Mu Xin's body, and their eyes were shining!

Mu Xin gently put his hand on Di Yunfeng's shoulder, looked at the group of female customers, and said proudly: "That's thanks to my husband's wealth, he loves me the most." ”

Di Yunfeng grinned dryly, he had an ominous premonition when he chose the first piece of clothing from Mu Xin, and at the same time he was still thinking about a question, what if he really had a group of wives and concubines in the future, and everyone wanted to buy these clothes?

"Let's go, my good husband. Mu Xin took Di Yunfeng by the hand and walked towards the West City Gate under the jealousy of a group of women.

"Mu Xin, there is something I have to discuss with you. Di Yunfeng said solemnly.

"Oh! I patronized and bought clothes, but I didn't buy the tiara and hairpin, husband, let's go to Lanxiang Pavilion to buy it......" Mu Xin hugged Di Yunfeng's shoulder, and no matter what he said, he was coquettish.

"Mu Xin, although I have some money, but I think the money should be spent meaningfully, and you are spending money in front of Mrs. Kuo today, but I am only a third-grade official, and I can't afford to buy a dress for a year, what will people think of me?"

"Buy a phoenix tail hairpin, I'll tie Yun Xi's head again, the hairpin will look good on it......" Mu Xin said to himself, and shook his head again: "No, no, Yun Xitou will be messed up when he sleeps, and it will be troublesome to wash." Or buy a golden hairpin, versatile with any hairstyle, it looks good. She seemed to have made up her mind, so she pulled Di Yunfeng and walked back: "Husband, let's go to Lanxiang Pavilion to buy a golden hairpin and scratch your head, it's not expensive." ”

"It's really not expensive, how much is it?" Di Yunfeng hesitated.

Mu Xin said: "Fenglin hairpin is both an artifact and an ornament, and it costs two or three hundred thousand ghost jade." ”

"It's too much!" Di Yunfeng's eyebrows were faintly angry.

"Okay, okay, if I'm joking with you, just buy a few ordinary golden hairpins, just a few dozen ghost jade......" Mu Xin stuck out his tongue at Di Yunfeng, and dragged Di Yunfeng into the Lanxiang Pavilion.

......

When Di Yunfeng and Mu Xin came out of the Lanxiang Pavilion, it was already an hour later.

If Mu Xin was just buying ordinary gold hairpins, it would never be possible to choose them for so long, she smiled, shook her head, and walked out of the gate of Lanxiang Pavilion under the congratulations of the proprietress, and similarly, she was followed by many female customers. The female customers stared at the blood-red phoenix hairpin on her head, and their eyes were so jealous that they were about to burst into flames!

"I didn't expect that it was Mrs. Siqing who bought the treasure of our Lanxiangge Town store! Look, I didn't lie to you just now, did I? Fenglin hairpin will turn crimson as soon as it encounters light, and it can also shine golden red in the dark! I won't tell you, there are only three Fenglin hairpins in the entire ghost empire, the first one is on the head of the main flower of the White Crane Tower, the second one is on the phoenix crown of the current queen, and the third one is on the head of Mrs. Siqing......

"Hehehehehehe......" Mu Xin smiled as pleasantly as a silver bell.

Di Yunfeng was angry in his heart but didn't dare to speak, and he could only sigh to express his indignation along the way. A golden hairpin is 370,000 ghost jade, what is he for?

"Hee-hee...... I'll wear this to next month's 'Chaos God Festival', and when the time comes, the women of the entire imperial capital will envy me!" Mu Xiang cheered like a girl.

"What is the Chaos God Sacrifice?" Di Yunfeng wondered.

Mu Xin said: "The Chaos God Festival is the priestly activity open to the empire, which is equivalent to the lantern festival in your world. In order to reward those hard-working people of the empire, the empire has set up a half of July every year as the 'Chaos God Day', when the empire will prepare corresponding activities, such as giving people pills, the opportunity to travel to the world for three days, and Judge Cui, purifying the grievances of the whole country, etc., you will know when the time comes. ”

In the world, people call the July and a half of each year the "Midyear Festival", that is, the "Ghost Festival", and it is also a folk ancestor worship festival. Mortals believe that the seventh half of July is the birthday of the local official, and on the day of praying for the forgiveness of the local official's sins, all the ghosts will be released from the underworld, and the deceased ancestors can also return home for reunion.

Di Yunfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think it's very interesting when I think about it......"

Mu Xin rolled his eyes wide and said, "Yes...... By the way, aren't you from the human world, then you should know that the human world is also in the seventh and a half months, right? Will they put river lanterns to pray for blessings and worship ancestors?"

Di Yunfeng nodded: "Yes, what's the matter? You also know these customs?"

Mu Xin longed: "Isn't that, every year the river lanterns in your world will float into the Lechuan River, like white and holy lotus flowers, beautiful." ”

"The Lechuan River is in the ghost realm, how can it appear in the mortal world?" Di Yunfeng wondered.

Mu Xin shook his head: "I don't know, no one can explain it, maybe this is the power of faith." ”

Mortals miss their ancestors, their departed family members.

Thoughts converge into a river that convections with the Lethe River, thus sending river lanterns from the mortal world to the ghost world......
