Chapter 111 Transaction
"You've been dead for so many years, yet you're still sane. You're not a common ghost."
Shi Yu didn't continue his boss's words, but instead asked, "I guess the natural treasures nurtured by countless lives in this place are in your hands."
The boss raised his eyebrows, which was considered as his agreement.
"If you want, I can give it to you." The boss' tone was full of indifference. "Anyway, it's been so many years, and I can't go anywhere except this damn place. It's so boring."
"Are you willing to give it up?" Shi Yu looked at the female ghost in front of him with a half-smile, "That is a good thing that countless ghosts want but cannot get. Even the ghost messengers of the underworld are not immune."
"Give it to me. Why not use it to bribe the underworld messenger? Maybe it will be easier to accomplish what you want. Why use such a good thing on someone like me who has no background?"
The boss burst into laughter, his body shaking with laughter. "Please stop teasing me."
"Although I can't figure out your true identity, I can tell you're far more capable than those so-called yincha." The boss's eyes dimmed for a moment as he spoke. "If even you can't do it, then perhaps no one else in this world can."
Even after talking about this, Shi Yu was actually a little interested.
"Tell me your deal."
Shi Yu leaned sideways on the bed, feeling as comfortable as if he were at home. He couldn't tell at all that he was on someone else's territory. He was as comfortable as he could be. "But let me make it clear first, no matter whether I can do your thing or not, you can't hurt my friends. You must let them go."
"Are you talking about that Habaek?"
The boss was holding a white jade fan in his hand. The milky white handle exuded a warm luster. Even people who didn't know the value of the product could tell that it was a good thing.
"Don't worry, he has quite a background. I won't touch him." When mentioning Yuan Ye, the boss's expression was also a little apprehensive. "I just want to ask you for a favor. I don't intend to make enemies with you."
Shi Yu didn't comment on this and gestured for the boss to continue.
She now really wanted to know what kind of thing it was that could make her boss pay such a huge price to do it.
"Find my body and scatter my ashes in the sea." The boss chuckled. "Don't worry if you laugh at me. I've grown up and never even known what the sea looks like."
"That's it?" Shi Yu frowned. "You went to so much trouble to even hand over the treasure in your hand, and now you want me to scatter your ashes in the sea?"
The boss didn't say anything and stared at Shi Yu for a long time.
Slowly, Shi Yu also reacted and looked back with a frown, "Where is your body?"
"I don't know." The boss said leisurely, "It's been so long, so long that I almost forgot the past. But to those beasts of the Yin family, I'm just a burial object. I guess I'm buried with that long-dead Master Yin Liu."
"I'll give you three days. Within three days, as long as you can find my body, I promise that you and your two friends will be fine."
"But what if..."
"etc!"
Before the boss could finish his words, Shi Yu interrupted him, "Two?"
"What?" The boss was also stunned for a moment, and seemed to have no idea what he had said wrong.
The uneasiness in my heart became more and more obvious, and I even felt a little uncomfortable lying in bed. I walked a few steps to the boss and asked, "What about the one who came with me?"
"That...that old man!"
The boss's eyes became even more confused. "What old man?"
"From the beginning to the end, you were the only one who came to my place. I never saw any old man."
"impossible!"
Shi Yu's breathing became increasingly rapid, and he quickly told the boss what had happened. After confirming that Shi Yu was not joking, the boss's expression turned grim, and he whispered secretly, "It's broken."
"There's no time, they're starting to wake up!"
Shi Yu's frown deepened, "Who are you talking about?"
"The Yin family." The boss bit his lip, the anger in his eyes almost uncontrollably oozing out, "A bunch of beasts worse than pigs and dogs!"
From the boss's mouth, Shi Yu roughly knew the ins and outs of the matter. He didn't know if it was because of the treasure in the boss's hand, but in this place, Shi Yu's clairvoyance seemed to be ineffective.
She couldn't see her boss's past, nor could she tell what Old Chang was doing now.
However, I was able to roughly piece together the story that took place in the late Qing Dynasty.
The boss's name was Huazhi. This was not her original name. It was given to her by the mother in the building after she became a prostitute. She was still young at that time, and she had long forgotten her original name.
But there is no need to remember it. It is probably something like Zhaodi Pandi. It is better not to have it.
At that time, there was no Qijia Village here, but instead it was a rather prosperous town, and the Yin family was the richest family in the city.
"At that time, everyone said that the old man of the Yin family was a high-ranking official in the capital, and that he was the kind of person that ordinary people couldn't afford to offend. I think what they said was probably true. How could an ordinary family afford to live in a house like the Yin family? There were hundreds of servants alone."
"The eldest master of the Yin family has no children. This is no secret in our small town. But one day, someone from the Yin family came and invited a few young men to sing at the mansion. They said it was to celebrate the birthday of the young master from the first house. They paid ten times the price. I was not originally going to go, haha..."
Huazhi laughed and lowered her head. "Well, luckily it was me who went, so that no one else's life would be harmed in vain."
This was a so-called birthday celebration, but in fact, the so-called Master Liu had already died at that time, and these prostitutes were sold to be wives of the dead.
"I was in a daze for a long time. When I woke up, I had this in my hand. Nothing else. Maybe this is what you are looking for."
There was a dazed look in Huazhi's eyes, and she stared blankly at the white jade fan in her hand.
"Can you show it to me?" Shi Yu frowned. "Don't worry, I won't take your things until I've completed the deal with you. Since you want to trade with me, I think you should have the most basic trust in me."
Huazhi was a little surprised, "You agreed?"
"Why not?" Shi Yu shrugged. "Even though I can still take this thing away even if I beat you to death, God is merciful."
Shi Yu said this in a sarcastic tone, but Hua Zhi smiled sincerely, a rare gesture. "I think I know where your friend went, that old man."
