The old lady was skeptical. She really didn't want to pay attention to the charlatan, but when she heard about money, she couldn't help but stop.
My family doesn't have much money, so if I can earn some extra income, why not?
"Really? Even if you're a charlatan, you can't go to the west of the city. The troubles there can't be solved just by wanting to. You might even be dragged into it, which would be more trouble than it's worth."
When the Imperial Master saw that there was a way, he immediately pulled out his purse and shook it in front of the old lady.
"Really, Auntie! As long as the information you told me is useful to me, I will definitely give you money. I also heard that Anyuan County is haunted, and I want to show my magical powers here."
Isn't it just some money? He had been pretending to be a charlatan these days and had already prepared enough silver and money. He could afford any amount of money.
Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu were speechless. No wonder the Imperial Master had been spending money like water these days. It turned out that he was doing all this outside.
The old lady looked at the silver in front of her, her eyes sparkling with green light. She no longer cared whether she hated the charlatan or not, and told him all the information she knew.
"Okay! Then let me tell you, when the haunting first started happening, we did consider looking for a shaman to solve the problem. Many famous shamans went to the west of the city, but some died there, while others were frightened and driven crazy. After that, we stopped trusting shamans."
Anyway, this matter is not a secret. If these two charlatans spend some time asking others, they can find out.
This money is earned by everyone, so why not earn it yourself?
"Auntie, please don't tease me. When this kind of problem occurs, shouldn't you go to the county government first? They can't solve the problem, so they go to the charlatan. I don't think the Anyuan County government is just there to do nothing. They've handled a lot of old cases in recent days."
The Imperial Master and Qin Yanchen pretended as if they didn't know Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni, and talked about many cases.
When talking about Sheng Mingyu, the old lady's face seemed to light up, and she looked at him with admiration like a little girl.
"Isn't that the prince from the capital here? Even if he comes, I wonder if he can deal with the little devil. We all have hope in our hearts."
Who doesn’t like Sheng Mingyu? He is like their reborn parent.
"Is that so? Then, Auntie, please continue. What happened next? Did those charlatans just die like that?"
After hearing the imperial teacher's reminder, the old lady remembered that she had not yet done her important work and had to earn money first.
She put Sheng Mingyu out of her mind and started telling stories again.
"Some charlatans died, but some escaped. Later, many charlatans from outside came to Anyuan County. They heard that we were making money here and wanted to cheat us out of our money. Later, we stopped trusting anyone."
The national teacher continued to work hard and finally made some breakthroughs.
Sheng Mingyu is considered a lucky star. Before he came out, he couldn't find out anything.
"Then, Auntie, can I ask what those charlatans who escaped said? Since they were able to escape, they must be very capable. Maybe they have seen what's going on inside."
"You think we haven't asked? But those charlatans were scared out of their wits, shouting about ghosts. We thought it was just like the little ghosts in the west of the city, with all sorts of ghosts screaming at night."
This is the end of the story. The old lady didn't care at all. After saying this, she stared at the imperial teacher's purse.
She even stretched out her hand. She has explained everything she should have explained. Shouldn't I give her the money?
"Okay, thank you so much for what you did just now, sister. I'll give you the money first. Go back and have a rest while I think about what to do."
All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked, and the Imperial Master no longer bothered to argue. He handed the money to her, gave a wink to Sheng Mingyu and the other two, then turned and left.
Sheng Mingyu was somewhat dissatisfied with the Imperial Master's method.
What a good opportunity, and you just gave it up like that.
What if we can find out more useful information? What use is this little information now?
"Why don't you continue asking? That older sister seemed quite gossipy. Maybe she knows more information."
Gu Yunni understood the Imperial Master very well. "That woman is just an ordinary citizen. How could she possibly know so much? She's probably already revealed everything she knows. No amount of money would be enough to stop her."
She naturally knew that the woman had already explained everything she needed to, and asking further questions would be a waste of time.
"Yes, I'm not a sucker. I have to get something in return for the money I give. If she doesn't know anything, why should I give it to her?" The national teacher nodded in agreement.
Sheng Mingyu pursed her lips slightly. "Then tell me, what should we do next? Do we have any clues now?"
At the beginning they had no clues and were like headless flies, but now they have one, so they have to find something to do.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master fell silent.
If they had a way, they wouldn't have to stay quiet all the time.
After a long while, Gu Yunni finally spoke, "Let's go to the west of the city? Didn't they say the problem happened there? Let's just go over there and take a look. After all, we're all together, so there's no need to worry about any danger."
Sheng Mingyu didn't think there was a problem, but he was still a little worried. "Do you want me to find some yamen runners? If there is any problem, they can help. Otherwise, I am worried that I can't protect you."
It wouldn't matter if he went alone, but if he took Gu Yunni with him, he would have to prepare more things.
The Imperial Master was speechless. He held his forehead and couldn't help but say to Sheng Mingyu, "Do you think we're going to fight on the battlefield? Now it's a duel of mystical arts, and only Yun Ni and I know how to do it. If you go, you'll just be a burden."
Has this man fought too many battles? Why is his mind filled with thoughts of fighting and killing?
Sheng Mingyu felt powerless. "Really? Who knows who's behind this? If I really need your help, it's always a good idea to be more prepared."
Gu Yunni understood Sheng Mingyu, took his hand, and smiled gently, "No, don't worry, leave this matter to us, we will protect you."
Now, everything I encounter is related to the mysterious arts, which makes me appear capable.
If I encounter any problems on the battlefield in the future, I will still have to rely more on Sheng Mingyu.
Qin Yanchen stood aside and never expressed his opinion. No one ever listened to what he said.
Just follow their plan, you have no choice anyway.
At night, the four of them explored the west side of the city.
It was really inconvenient at daybreak. There were few people in the west of the city, and they walked over so openly, which was too conspicuous.
Only at night, at least no one dares to come here at night.
Sheng Mingyu was not afraid. He and Gu Yunni had been working outside for so long that they were already used to it.
But Qin Yanchen was a little nervous. He had bad luck to begin with, and now he came to such a gloomy place. Would he die here?
