Qingshui County was the only county town in the surrounding area.
Because of this, Qingshui County could be considered a prosperous county.
There were many people in the county.
There was an endless stream of people walking along the aisle.
As soon as he heard it, all kinds of peddlers and shouts could be heard.
Many people were gathered in a teahouse.
"Have you heard? Did something happen at the county's Wang family last night?”someone said.
"What happened?" Hearing that something had happened to the Wang family, someone asked curiously.
Wang Youde, the official registrar of the county government, had a lot of power. Because of his status as the official registrar, no one dared to make things difficult for him when he did business in the county. In addition, the county magistrate was his brother-in-law, so the Wang family's business was growing.
However, Wang Youde had a good-for-nothing son. Usually, he would either flirt with women or gamble with his fair-weather friends, which gave Wang Youde a headache.
For ordinary people like them, Wang Youde was already considered a big shot. If something happened to the family of such a big shot, it naturally made people curious.
Curiosity was human nature.
"I heard that the Imperial Residence was haunted last night. Wang Youde's son, Wang Youfu, was scared silly.”
"This morning, Wang Youde invited all the doctors in the city to the Prince's mansion to treat his son. In the end, none of them saw any results.”
"Right now, Wang Youde is looking for Taoist priests everywhere to catch ghosts.”
"I heard that whoever can cure his son and capture the ghost in his residence will be given a thousand taels of silver.”
"A thousand taels?" Hearing this number, everyone in the teahouse gasped.
What was a thousand taels of silver? Let's put it this way. If you went to a restaurant to eat, you couldn't miss out on chicken, duck, fish, and meat. If you had a bottle of good wine, you wouldn't even spend half a tael.
One could imagine what a thousand taels of silver was.
An ordinary family of three would have at most two taels of silver a month. Most families would even have two and a half taels of silver.
A 300-square-meter courtyard house in the county town was rented for only two taels a month.
If he wanted to buy it, three hundred taels of silver would be enough.
One could imagine the purchasing power of a thousand taels of silver.
When everyone heard this number, the greed in their hearts rose.
It was a pity that they could only watch. After all, whether it was catching ghosts or treating illnesses, they could not do anything.
"Brother, is this true?"
Suddenly, a young figure walked out from the crowd and said.
"Of course it's true. Little brother, you're not thinking of taking that one thousand taels, are you? Let me give you a piece of advice. If you don't have the ability, you'd better not go.”
"Thank you for telling me, brother. How about this, you bring me to that Prince's mansion, I will help you pay for your tea, and I will give you a tael of silver as a guide fee.”Xu Fan smiled when he heard this.
That's right, the person who asked this question was none other than Xu Fan, who had returned to the city overnight.
This guy had only transmigrated to this world for a few days.
If he hadn't pawned a broken jade Buddha he had bought from a street stall before he transmigrated and earned some money, he would probably have been sleeping in the open for the past few days.
But even so, the money from pawning the jade Buddha was almost empty.
If he did not think of a way to get some money, he would probably have to sleep on the streets in a few days.
He didn't expect the pillow to come as soon as he dozed off.
What he was least afraid of now was naturally ghosts.
If it was a zombie or something, he would still be afraid.
After all, Spirit Capturing couldn't restrain zombies.
However, he was not afraid of ghosts.
After all, Spirit Capturing and Generals naturally countered ghosts.
Right now, it was very difficult for any ghost to cause any trouble in front of him.
"Really?" The man's eyes lit up. A carriage of silver was already quite a lot.
It was enough for him to find a decent woman to spend the night with.
"Naturally."
"Boss, I'll pay for this brother's money as well. Keep the change.”Xu Fan took out a piece of silver and threw it on the table of the shopkeeper.
Anyway, there was going to be a lot of money in the bank, so Xu Fan didn't care about this small amount of money.
Seeing how generous Xu Fan was, the man hesitated for a moment before immediately following him.
He only needed to lead the way and he would be given one tael of silver. There was no reason for him to not do such a good thing.
"How should I address you, elder brother?" On the way, Xu Fan asked the man beside him.
From his appearance, it was not difficult to tell that this person should be in his thirties.
"My name is Zhou Yun. If little brother doesn't mind, you can just call me Elder Brother Zhou.”
"What about you, little brother?"
"My name is Xu Fan. Brother, can you just call me by my name?”
"Brother Xu, what I said just now is absolutely true. That Imperial Residence is really not a good place to go.”
"Elder brother, don't worry. Since I dare to go, I naturally have my methods.”
Now, he wished he could find more ghosts to devour. Why would he be afraid of ghosts?
Xu Fan could be said to have earned the thousand taels of silver for nothing.
As for Wang Youde's son, Wang Youfu, Xu Fan had never thought that he could catch ghosts, but not treat illnesses.
However, when he subdued the ghost in his residence, Wang Youde would not dare to not give him money.
Anyway, as long as he got the money, he would leave Qingshui County immediately. It didn't matter if you were Wang Youde or Wang Piede. It was useless even if God came.
The reason why Xu Fan was so polite to Zhou Yun was because of Zhou Yun's reminder.
A person who could remind you of something when you were out and about, even if he didn't help you, was worthy of being called a friend.
This was also the reason why Xu Fan took out a tael of silver as a guide fee.
Under Zhou Yun's lead, the two of them quickly arrived at the entrance of a luxurious mansion.
On the plaque on the door of the mansion, the words " Prince's Mansion " were carved in a small seal. The golden words were dignified and grand, telling outsiders that the identity of the person living inside was not simple.
"Brother Xu, this is the Imperial Residence.”
Xu Fan nodded.
He took out a tael of silver and handed it to Zhou Yun.
"Brother Zhou, this is your fee.”
Zhou Yun's eyes lit up when he saw Xu Fan take out a tael of silver.
Then, he took it without hesitation.
After receiving the money, Zhou Yun turned around and was about to leave.
However, after taking two steps, he stopped.
He turned to look at Xu Fan.
"Brother Xu, I know that you must have some ability to dare to come to the Imperial Residence, but what I said is not a joke. This Imperial Residence is indeed haunted, and that ghost is very fierce. Don't blame me for talking too much. That's all I have to say.”
"Although money is important, your life is more important.”
Xu Fan nodded." Thank you for telling me the truth. If I really can't deal with the ghost, I'll definitely be the first to escape. I cherish my life very much."”
"Oh right, I don't know where you live. When this matter is over, I will definitely come and drink with you.”
"That's easy to say. I will come to the teahouse every day to drink tea. If you want to find me, come to the teahouse tomorrow and you will definitely see me.”Zhou Yun replied with a smile.
"In that case, let's meet again tomorrow."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Zhou Yun cupped his fists and turned to leave.
This Imperial Residence was haunted, and he did not dare to stay here any longer, even if it was still daytime.
