Chapter 170 Private Charm
Overnight, the news of Prince Shunchen being cheated on spread throughout Shengjing City, and those who secretly supported him began to back off.
The next day, Su Nuobai went to set up a stall at the city gate as usual.
Uncle Jia and the others were talking about gossip in Shengjing City. As soon as they saw Xiao Jiang, they pulled him aside to tell stories they had not heard.
"Master Su, if we encounter the second type of toilet ghost, there really is nothing we can do?" Uncle Jia and the others just happened to hear about the toilet ghost.
A group of onlookers all looked at her.
Su Nuobai smiled and said, "Don't give him the shoes, just beat him up."
"Ah! This way it won't eat us?" The snack vendor nearby looked scared.
"This ghost is just like a human. The more scared you are, the more it likes to find you. If you are not afraid of it, it will not dare to come to you." Su Nuobai said with a smile.
She looked up and saw several students coming in from the city gate.
The imperial examination will be held soon, and many more students from Shengjing City will come to take the exam.
There were many people coming in and out every day, but these few caught her attention because they were followed by a male ghost who was about to become a fierce ghost.
Mo Bao and the storyteller Xiao Jiang also noticed it and looked over there together.
Several students came into the city chatting and laughing. Judging from their clothes, they should come from well-off families.
"Mobao, follow them and see where they live."
Feng Zhi was not there, so Su Nuobai could only let Mo Bao follow them.
Mo Bao nodded, stood up and left the stall.
Uncle Jia and the others didn't notice anything unusual. When they saw Xiao Jiang stop, they urged, "Xiao Jiang, what happened next?"
"Master Su, please save me." A man hurriedly sat on the small stool opposite her.
Su Nuobai looked at the thing following behind him, and then looked at Liang Zhongyi's face.
Liang Zhongyi quickly handed him a purse and said, "Master, there is a ghost in our house. Please help us exorcise it."
Xiao Jiang reached out to take the purse, opened it and saw that there were several hundred taels of silver notes inside.
"Is there a ghost in your house?" Su Nuobai looked at Liang Zhongyi with some amusement.
"Yes, yes, this ghost is invisible, but we can hear it talking, see it eating our food, and even peek at my wife taking a bath."
After Liang Zhongyi finished speaking, he looked around as if there was something dirty around.
Uncle Jia and the others looked over curiously: "Is this a pervert?"
Su Nuobai looked at him: "Your eyes are dull, your words are vague, your cheekbones are high and exposed, and your chin is sharp. You are good at calculating others and seeking personal gain."
"Your house has been haunted since you schemed against your boss. You are their accountant, and your boss treats you well."
"You have never been short of clothes every season, your monthly salary is not low, and you have always been given red envelopes and festival gifts during the holidays."
"At first you felt quite satisfied, but as time went on, and you saw the money coming in and out of your boss's accounts every day, you began to have selfish thoughts that you shouldn't have."
"You conspired with others to rip your boss off, and when you were conspiring for personal gain, this voice appeared. It wanted to inform on you and even overturn the table."
"You were so scared that you fainted, thinking it was an illusion. But you didn't expect this voice to appear around you every day and even eat your food."
Liang Zhongyi's expression became increasingly grim: "I, I was just greedy for a moment."
"You didn't just become greedy for a moment; you've had selfish motives for a long time. At first, you only changed some small accounts, and the money you took wasn't much."
"But then you discovered your boss hadn't noticed, and you gradually grew bolder, no longer content with just a few coins or taels of silver."
"You started taking away a dozen or so taels, and even wanted more, which is why you had a secret meeting with someone."
Liang Zhongyi didn't expect that she would know everything: "Master Su, I know I was wrong. I beg you to let this ghost go. I won't dare to do it again."
Su Nuobai looked at a man standing in the crowd and asked, "Are you planning to report him to the police, or are you planning to let him go?"
Zhang Mingli never expected that the accountant he trusted would actually do such a thing: "Liang Zhongyi, how have I ever wronged you?"
"You really don't live up to your name. I was blind to think you were someone I could trust."
When Liang Zhongyi saw him, he turned pale with fear and quickly knelt on the ground: "Boss, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time."
Zhang Mingli kicked away his grabbing hand and said, "Don't even think about it. I'm going to report you to the police and have you arrested."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Nuobai and said, "Master Su, thank you. Please accept the purse he gave you. I will definitely give you a thank you gift when the matter is settled."
Liang Zhongyi was dragged towards the yamen by two servants, crying and begging Zhang Mingli to spare him all the way.
Uncle Jia and the others were completely confused: "Master Su, did he really provoke some dirty creature?"
Su Nuobai smiled and shook his head: "What he provoked was not a dirty thing, but a spirit called a private spirit or a family spirit."
"It's as tall as a human, but some can grow several feet tall, and its body is covered with hair. It usually lives in the wild, and only people with excessive selfishness will provoke it."
"It likes human food and women. It can let you hear it speak and it will jump out and scare people."
"It sounds creepy." The bun shop owner felt goosebumps all over his body.
Uncle Jia looked around with a guilty conscience: "Is it still there?"
When he said this, everyone around him was frightened and looked around.
He kept muttering, "I have no selfish motives, and I don't want to harm anyone else. Please don't look for me."
Su Nuobai looked at them with a smile: "Don't be so nervous. Although it is a monster, it won't kill anyone. At most, it will jump out to scare you and complain."
"If it suddenly jumped out, wouldn't the person with a weak heart die on the spot?" Uncle Jia felt scared just thinking about it.
"If you have no selfish motives, why would it come to you?" Su Nuobai looked at them and smiled.
Uncle Jia asked quietly, "Was it here just now?"
Su Nuobai nodded: "Yeah."
"Did it leave?" Uncle Jia looked around, fearing that it would suddenly attack him.
"They've left, don't worry!" Su Nuobai looked at the group of people with amusement and breathed a sigh of relief.
As a human being, you should not be too selfish, otherwise you will be targeted by monsters.
Su Nuobai calculated two more compatible horoscopes and was about to close the stall when he saw Mo Bao coming back.
"Master, they live in Qingshi Lane."
"It seems that the Ghost Department will have to work overtime again today." Su Nuobai sent a message directly to Qi Yu, informing him to come to Qingshi Lane in the evening.
Qi Yu heard the voice transmission and looked at Lu Heyu who was sitting opposite him: "Isn't Qingshi Lane where the students who come to take the imperial examinations live?"
