Chapter 113 The Underworld Office
An Dezhong reluctantly sat down next to Grandpa Teng and told him everything he knew. "Linhai Group has been on the decline in recent years, and all the land they bought earlier has gone to waste. Real estate development is supposed to be a good business, and Linhai has indeed made a lot of money, but luck has been tough. They were supposed to have policy support for development in the south, but suddenly the leadership changed, and the focus of development has shifted to the north."
The same thing happened countless times, once or twice, but it has been happening all the time for the past five years. The most obvious example is Yuxia Mountain.
"The land at the foot of Yuxia Mountain had been in the renewal plan for ten years, and Shao Jizhong went to great lengths to secure it. Everyone knows this is their chance to break into Haishi from Linhai. As long as they can get through this barrier, the rest will fall into place naturally."
Sighing and shaking his head, Ande Zhong lamented, "What a pity! All projects related to Yuxia Mountain were halted overnight. Not only did Shao Jizhong not reap any benefits, but even our family lost money on two real estate projects."
"Didn't it sell it to Linhai?" Grandpa Teng exposed it with a wry smile.
"Hey, that's not true." Ande Zhong chuckled and gestured, "Buy both plots of land together and you'll get a 20% discount."
Qin Qinsen was amused by Andezhong's expression. Thinking of Yuxia Mountain, his smile paused. "Yuxia Mountain is indeed not a good place. It has a strong negative energy and many wronged souls. Tonight, we only liberated the souls of Yuxia Lake. It's hard to say what the situation is like in the mountains."
Grandpa Teng waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. The higher-ups have their own arrangements. We should just do what we need to do."
"Then why did you go there to fish?" Father Teng asked coldly.
The two old men looked at each other and spoke at the same time:
"It's him!" x2
Before Father Teng could say anything else, Qin Qinsen said sternly, "Grandpas, please don't go to Yuxia Mountain again. Although you've been liberated, the naturally formed Yin Qi formation is not something we can easily interfere with. You all have the golden light of merit and virtue, especially Grandpa Teng. He was followed by a ghost today and was almost possessed by it and threw himself into Yuxia Lake."
Before throwing Ma Liu into the underworld, Qin Qinsen got the answer.
——Ma San asked him to bring the man with the golden light of merit to the lakeside and throw him into the lake, and the rest was left to Ma San.
You know, the golden light of merit can blind ghosts, and ordinary ghosts can't get close at all. Ma San must have someone behind him to guide him, otherwise, given the characteristics of these ghosts, they wouldn't even approach the golden light of merit, let alone follow and approach them.
It’s a pity that Ma San has already died, otherwise he could have found a way to find out who is behind the scenes.
"Then I won't go to Yuxia Lake. The river next to the main road will be fine." Ande Zhong immediately found a substitute meal.
"It's better not to." It was Teng Su who spoke. His face was serious as he handed half a bowl of sesame paste to Qin Qinsen. "Since Qinsen said that the entire Yuxia Mountain is problematic, then don't go there. Didn't grandpa say we should go sea fishing? Grandpa can come with us."
Taking the bowl with the bracelet buried in it, Qin Qinsen set off again, "That's right, at worst, let Teng Su drive the boat and take the old men out to play."
"It's so late, just sleep at home." Grandpa Teng spoke hurriedly when he saw people were about to leave.
"No, I still have things to do. I'm afraid I won't be able to rest tonight. Grandpa Teng, you guys should go to bed early. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Qin Qinsen rejected Teng Su's request to go with him and tapped his lips. "Go to bed early and call me."
When he opened the door, he was right in front of Boss Huang, who had been drafted into the army in the middle of the night and looked unhappy.
"Okay, stop being so annoying and let's go."
"Did you bring anything?"
Throwing the cloth bag into Qin Qinsen's arms, Boss Huang started the car and said, "Check it out."
"Why go to Yuxia Mountain when there are so many places to go? If your father hadn't given me enough, I wouldn't have come."
Boss Huang, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly had a dream. A mountain of fried peanuts poured down on his head, which scared him awake.
"You know about Yuxia Mountain? No, what did Daddy give you?"
He wondered why Boss Huang had suddenly appeared and asked him to send his location. He had assumed that this man had mastered the art of divination and had predicted that he was going out. It turned out to be his father's mischief again.
"Hmph, I'll cooperate with you in clearing out Yuxia Mountain. From now on, the northwest corner of Siyun Hall will directly lead to Huangquan Road."
This was a declaration to the world that the underworld had recognized Siyuntang, and that all future ghost officials would pass through it. Boss Huang's business was likely destined for the underworld.
"Good fellow, the underworld's office in Hai City, right?" Qin Qinsen twitched his lips. "But I didn't say I wanted to clean up Yuxia Mountain."
"I don't know about that. Anyway, that's what your dad said. He also said we'll know when we get there."
At the foot of Yuxia Mountain, staff members in blue and black uniforms were helping the fishermen pack up their things and load them into the car. Another team was surrounding the construction site of Linhai Group. Squatting in the open space in the middle were a group of security guards whom Andezhong called Xiao Zhang.
"I guess you are Master Qin. Hello, I am Jiang Wei, affiliated with the official."
Qin Qinsen shook the hand Jiang Wei handed him, helpless. So this was what he meant.
The man in front of him was about the same height as him, and his face looked very ordinary at first glance, but there was a gleam in his eyes, and there were thick calluses on the joints of his hands, which showed that he was obviously not an ordinary person.
"Official? Which department?" Boss Huang had ties to various departments, but he had never seen anyone in a blue-and-black uniform like that. And this Jiang Wei… he felt vaguely familiar.
“Without a department, we have no name.”
Jiang Wei still looked friendly, but what he said startled Qin Qinsen and the others. "You've grown up now. How's life in Siyun Hall? Not bad, right? What's with the scar on your face?"
Boss Huang was stunned and immediately stepped forward, "It's you!"
"It's me."
Patting Boss Huang on the shoulder, Jiang Wei was pleased, "The young man back then has finally made a name for himself."
Qin Qinsen looked between the two of them and said with certainty, "It was you who helped Mr. Huang to solve the scorpion trap."
"Yes, it's a pity that my technique is not good enough to completely remove the mark."
"It's fine as a tattoo, it's not ugly." Boss Huang was unusually excited when facing his lifesaver. "Were you an official back then? Or were you?"
Jiang Wei patted his shoulder to calm him down, "The day you officially take over Siyuntang will be the day I'll be transferred."
While the two were reminiscing about the past, Qin Qinsen turned the bowl upside down. The sesame paste wrapped bracelet fell out and floated in the air.
He pressed his hands together and chanted an incantation into the moonlight. The bracelet, once stained with black, was now brand new. A magnifying glass would reveal numerous black and white particles clinging to the diamonds. After a moment, the bracelet shone with a radiant light, exuding a subtle coolness.
Immediately afterwards, the sapphire, which was originally filled with evil aura, cracked in the middle, and the moonlight carrying sesame paste penetrated into it.
After a few minutes, the bracelet was intact, with no difference at all.
"Using moonlight to reverse yin and yang, and then using... sesame paste? Covering the sky and blocking out the sun." Jiang Wei laughed. "What a great trick! Most people wouldn't think of it."
"Master Qin will be in charge of the cleanup of Yuxia Mountain."
