Chapter 112 Taking advantage of the situation
Chapter 112 Taking advantage of the situation
Shopkeeper Yu and his staff looked at Zhou Yu in confusion. The girl had just stepped on his jade pendant, so why was he so frightened?
Xie Lan smiled and crushed the jade pendant with one foot.
She was pretty, and her smile made her look more charming than flowers. But in Zhou Yu's eyes, her smile was as terrifying as that of the King of Hell who was demanding his life.
Seeing Tiechui's foot loosened, Zhou Yu ignored the pain, rolled over and got up to escape.
But after running only two steps, a gust of cold wind blew, and a female ghost with a bloody head and a ferocious expression blocked his way.
Zhou Yu's pupils shrank in fear.
He stopped in a hurry and turned around in panic, but unexpectedly bumped into another female ghost with a pale face and empty eyes.
Zhou Yu fell to the ground with his buttocks, crawling around on his hands and feet, shouting in panic, "Ahhh, there's a ghost... Don't come over, don't kill me."
Seeing Zhou Yu yelling wildly at the empty air, Manager Yu and his staff got goosebumps all over their bodies and backed away.
Although everyone has heard that Zhou Ji Rice Store is haunted, no one has seen it with their own eyes, so some people can't help but doubt that it is fake.
But at this moment, the yard, which was apparently sunny, suddenly became eerie and scary, but also exciting.
Zhou Yu fled frantically, but no matter which direction he ran, he was blocked by the two ghosts.
In a panic, he saw Xie Lan watching the show with his arms folded, and finally realized that he had offended someone he shouldn't have offended.
Zhou Yu rushed towards Xie Lan with sweat all over his forehead. Tiechui was about to kick him away, but he fell to his knees in front of Xie Lan and said, "Girl, I was wrong. I shouldn't have asked for such a high price, and I shouldn't have let the dog scare you.
Since the girl likes my shop, let's sell it for 1,500 taels. Let's go to the government office to exchange the deed now."
It's too late to be honest now.
"One thousand five hundred taels, you should keep this shop for yourself." Xie Lan glanced in the direction of the two female ghosts, "Boss Zhou must have a wonderful life with these two beauties accompanying him."
Zhou Yu clenched his hands. Who on earth is this girl? How could she actually see those two ghosts?
Xie Lan could not only see it, she also waved her hands at the two ghosts, "Don't look at me, I'm not familiar with this Zhou family. Do what you need to do, your business has nothing to do with me, I promise I won't stop you."
The two female ghosts didn't know Xie Lan's identity, but they had a natural fear of her.
He was originally worried that she would help Zhou Yu, but when he saw her standing by and watching, he hurriedly thanked her.
"Thank you for your mercy, young lady. Don't worry, we were killed by Zhou Yu. We will only seek revenge on him and will not hurt any innocent people."
Xie Lan nodded, "Please do as you please."
When Zhou Yu saw that the two ghosts were about to attack him, he was almost scared to death. He just wanted to save his life and could no longer care about the shop.
"Girl, girl, five hundred taels, I'll sell the shop to you for five hundred taels."
Xie Lan smiled, "Deal."
It would have been better if she had been so honest earlier. She originally wanted to take over the store for 1,500 taels, but he forced her to take advantage of the situation.
Seeing that Xie Lan wanted to buy the weekly diary, the two ghosts were unsure whether she would protect Zhou Yu. They looked anxious but did not dare to step forward.
"Tiechui, bring the four treasures of the study and let Mr. Zhou sign the contract."
Zhou Yu was filled with hatred, his heart was bleeding. He had originally spent more than 8,000 taels to buy this store, so now it was like giving it away for free.
Buying such a big shop with a yard and warehouse for 500 taels was like picking it up for free. Although Shopkeeper Yu and his employees were envious, no one dared to compete with Xie Lan.
Although this shop is cheap, it is haunted. Even if they buy it, no customers dare to come to buy things. The end result is the same as Zhou Dongjia, who lost all his money.
Xiao Jin stood aside with his hands behind his back, glancing at Xie Lan's shining eyes. He snorted in his heart, this Kun Daoist is really good at taking advantage of others' misfortunes.
Unfortunately, he was a step too slow and she took advantage of him.
Xie Lan didn't know that Mr. Xiao was criticizing her in his heart. She waited for Zhou Yu to finish writing the contract and sign it. She took it and read it, and found that there was no problem, so she signed her name as well.
There is still one person missing.
Xie Lan looked around and walked towards Xiao Jin, "Mr. Xiao, could you please help me be the middleman?" Xiao Jin lowered his eyes and looked at her, "You have taken all the benefits, and now you know to ask me for help."
Xie Lan knew that if this young man deliberately competed with her for this shop, she would not be able to get it for 500 taels. Ordinary people are afraid of ghosts, but this young man is not short of money, so he can easily invite monks or Taoist priests to take away the two female ghosts.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, Sir. I hope you will have the honor of dining at Juxianlou later?"
"No need to eat." Xiao Jin took the contract from her hand, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink to sign it.
Ha, it’s just right not to go. The food in Juxianlou is very expensive. The money saved can be used to offer more incense to the ancestors.
Xie Lan was secretly happy, but she didn't expect Xiao Jin to suddenly say, "Miss, why don't you change it into silver and give it to me."
Xie Lan's smile froze on her face.
"Why, young lady, you are reluctant to part with the money?" After a pause, Xiao Jin said slowly, "I saved your life after all. You are destroying the bridge right after crossing the river. It's too heartless."
This Mr. Xiao is indeed a businessman. He puts profit first and doesn't even let go of the money for a meal.
Xie Lan gritted his teeth and said to Tiechui, "Give two hundred taels to Young Master Xiao."
Seeing her painful expression, a smile flashed in Xiao Jin's eyes.
Xie Lan was upset about losing a large sum of money, and she needed to find someone to vent her anger on.
"Okay, I've finished my work, so I won't delay you two from getting revenge."
Zhou Yu was so angry that his face twisted. "Girl, I have already sold the shop to you. How can you go back on your word and let them do something to me?"
Xie Lan glared at him, "How could I go back on my word? I did buy your shop, but I didn't promise to save you.
Besides, you have harmed someone, and now the victim wants to seek revenge on you, isn't that only natural?"
The haunted Zhou Ji had already attracted a lot of attention, and seeing that Manager Yu had brought so many people in but hadn't come out for a long time, more people couldn't help but rush in out of curiosity.
When there were so many people, even the soldiers patrolling the city from the Five Cities Military Department were alarmed. “Who is gathering so many people to cause trouble under the feet of the emperor?”
Zhou Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the commander in his official uniform. "Sir Liang, you came just in time. That girl used five hundred taels to force me to sell Zhou Ji to her. I didn't want to agree. But she not only let her maid beat me up, but also threatened to kill me."
Liang Kunxing's face turned cold. How could there be someone so rampant under the emperor's feet, forcing people to buy and sell things?
But when he looked in the direction of Zhou Yu's finger, his face suddenly changed. Why was that adult here?
Without thinking too much, Liang Kunxing walked quickly forward and was about to greet him, but he saw the other party shaking his head at him imperceptibly.
Xie Lan didn't notice this and thought that the commander was looking for her, so she handed over the deed in her hand, "Sir, this deal is a matter of mutual consent. I didn't force Mr. Zhou. Everyone present can testify for me."
Since Zhou Yu is so eager to die, let's help him.
