"Alright, do as I say. Bring the doctor in when he arrives," Third Master Lin said impatiently.
Seeing that Master Lin was so insistent, the guards had no choice but to leave the room.
"Guangchuan, I'll tell you what to write," said Third Master Lin, wiping the cold sweat from his face.
Lin Guangchuan was literate, but his handwriting wasn't very good. However, since Third Master had given the order, he could only pretend to be calm and start writing characters that looked like insects crawling around.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Guangchuan finished writing down what Third Master Lin had dictated and respectfully handed the paper back to him.
After taking the paper, Third Master Lin looked at the handwriting with disdain. After confirming that there were no mistakes, he said...
"Take enough money and lead a group to visit these businesses and tell them that there are problems with the items they purchased previously and that they need to be recalled. If any of them refuse, then use some methods."
Although Lin Guangchuan had doubts, he still respectfully accepted the task and turned to leave the ghost market with his men.
Master Lin wiped away the cold sweat that had been pouring down his face from the pain. Since there was no doctor around, the long knife was still stuck in the top of his foot and had not been pulled out.
"Master Ghost, please wait a moment. I have already sent someone to retrieve the gunpowder." Master Lin gave a stiff smile to the void.
Xu Jinhuan ignored him, instead walking to the table, picking up the paper, and glancing at it casually.
When Lin Sanye saw this, he saw the paper suddenly rise from the table and then stop in mid-air, which made his heart skip a beat again.
Fearing that the ghost might be displeased and throw out another long knife to stab his other foot.
"This list..."
When Master Lin heard the voice of the Ghost Lord, his ears perked up nervously again, but he kept praying silently in his heart that it wouldn't happen. He wasn't a god; he was only missing one or two people and he wouldn't be able to find out.
But reality often doesn't go as planned.
Xu Jinhuan snorted coldly and said, "Third Brother Lin, there seems to be something wrong with this list."
Master Lin immediately smiled obsequiously and said, "Master Ghost, the heavens and the sun and moon can bear witness to me, I really did not lie."
Xu Jinhuan didn't believe his nonsense at all, and slowly said, "I've heard that you don't have many children, so I'll lend you a hand and make sure you have no descendants at all."
Who should you target first? You seem to have an eldest son…
Xu Jinhuan knew nothing about Master Lin. She only learned about him after Fu Dongsheng entered the Ghost Market. She thought he was walking too slowly, so she used a wisp of her spiritual power to locate him.
He went to other places to listen to some gossip, which happened to be about how Master Lin was a womanizer but had no luck with having children. He had married more than twenty concubines, but only had three children in his harem.
This is exactly what we needed.
But Master Lin had no idea. He only thought that the other party had gone to his backyard. Thinking of his already pitifully few children, Master Lin still compromised with a long face.
"No, no, no, please, please don't hurt my children. This list is indeed real, but it's missing two major buyers."
One is the richest man in Tongqiao County, and the other is the Qilin Divine Messenger. My lord, please understand, I really can't afford to offend either of these families.
Seeing that the Ghost Lord did not speak, Third Master Lin continued to explain: "The richest man this week is the one who built the Ghost Market. Although I am respectfully called Third Master Lin in the Ghost Market, I am also working for him."
As for that Qilin Divine Envoy, I'm even more helpless. The name of the Qilin God is now so widely known here that even Zhou, the richest man, believes it without question. I simply can't challenge them.”
After saying that, Third Master Lin collapsed to the ground, his face full of helplessness.
At this moment, Xu Jinhuan gathered the information provided by Master Lin and discovered that the richest man this week was actually the true master of the Ghost Market.
Although it sounded somewhat reasonable, Xu Jinhuan felt that something was still not right.
How many bags did these two buy?
At this point, Master Lin no longer dared to resist. Upon hearing the question from that ghost master, he not only answered honestly but also deliberately added more information that he knew.
"Ever since I witnessed the power of this thing, it has been sold in limited quantities, with only one pack per person. Later, the Qilin Divine Envoy suddenly came to the Ghost Market and immediately asked to buy them all."
Although I was unwilling, he now had everything he could want in the city, so I naturally didn't dare to offend him and gave him all the newly arrived packages.
After finishing speaking, Third Master Lin shrugged helplessly and then continued.
"After the Qilin Divine Envoy made two purchases, Zhou, the richest man, heard about it from somewhere and sent someone to deliver a message, blaming me for not recognizing its value."
After receiving the goods, he didn't even inform him before selling them. He even ordered me to deliver them directly to him from now on and not to sell them anymore.
After finishing speaking, Master Lin sighed helplessly. Over the years, he had received countless strange poisons and hidden weapons in the Ghost Market. If he were to report every single one, then Zhou the Richest Man would scold him again.
Xu Jinhuan frowned upon hearing this. The Qilin Envoy only bought it twice? Even if it was three packs each time, that would only be six packs. But the ones she found in that secret room alone were more than six packs…
"Are you sure the Qilin Divine Envoy only bought six packs?" Xu Jinhuan asked.
Without hesitation, Third Master Lin said, "Of course I'm sure. This stuff is expensive, and there aren't many of them in total, so I remember it very clearly."
As if afraid that the Ghost Lord wouldn't believe him, Third Master Lin gritted his teeth and revealed the most confidential information.
“I gave the remaining nine packages to Zhou, the richest man in Beijing. According to him, the nobles in the capital are extremely interested in this stuff. They not only want the stuff itself, but also the person who made it.”
Nine packs?
Xu Jinhuan did the math: the Qilin Divine Envoy bought six packs, Zhou the Richest Man bought nine packs, and the silver box in the secret room contained fourteen packs…
If only one packet was used in the experiment, that would be understandable.
However, this makes the relationship between the Qilin God and Zhou the richest man not so simple.
The person behind this has prepared pawns both openly and secretly; they are indeed not to be underestimated.
"Master Ghost?" When Third Master Lin saw that the other party had fallen silent again, he was no longer as happy as before, and instead called out tremblingly.
He was genuinely afraid that the other party would go to the backyard without a word and kill his child.
"I understand. You don't need to take care of those two."
Before Master Lin could even feel happy, Xu Jinhuan spoke again.
"I've saved you so much trouble, shouldn't you at least show some appreciation?"
"Huh? What do you mean?" In the midst of his extreme joy and sorrow, Third Master Lin's mind was not quite clear, and he asked subconsciously.
Xu Jinhuan revealed a bandit-like smile, "There's an old saying that losing money can avert disaster, don't you think?"
Third Master Lin nodded subconsciously, and after thinking for a while, he said.
"Lord Ghost, do you prefer yellow paper or gold ingots? Should I have someone make a few little figures for you to serve as your maids and servants in the underworld?"
