Chapter 162 Ghost Market



"Dad, what do you think is in those bottles and jars? Will the effect be the same as this?"

Fu Dongsheng carefully picked up the gunpowder while turning his attention to the thing on the other side.

The middle-aged man patted Fu Dongsheng's head speechlessly, "I don't know, don't even think about trying it out here. If it has the same effect as that thing, won't your father be dead?"

Hearing this, Fu Dongsheng smiled and said, "I see, Dad, why are you nagging me so much? Wait until I deliver these to the ghost market, and then we'll discuss the escape route when I come back."

After saying that, he took out a wooden box and carefully placed the five packets of gunpowder inside.

After Xu Jinhuan and his son left the house, he simply waved his hand and put the gunpowder made by Xia Zhiying and those unknown bottles and jars into the space.

Afterwards, he followed Fu Dongsheng and went to the ghost market together.

Fu Dongsheng was very careful along the way, looking back from time to time, as if to confirm whether anyone was following him.

When he walked to a corner, he took off his coat, revealing a gray, patched dress.

It turned out that he was wearing two coats in such a hot day.

At the same time, he hid his coat in an upside-down basket, felt around in the basket, took out a mask, and put it on his face.

After everything was ready, Fu Dongsheng walked around a few more times and finally entered a somewhat dilapidated grocery store.

Xu Jinhuan also followed him in, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw an old man with gray hair and cloudy eyes.

"What to buy?"

Fu Dongsheng answered the question irrelevantly: "Sell it in the west and the east."

The old man said, "The yellow paper here is selling well recently. Would you like to buy some?"

Fu Dongsheng replied, "Three Elder Lins."

The old man nodded and finally asked, "What time is it now?"

Fu Dongsheng said: "Ghost time."

The old man then stood up from his seat, walked shakily to a statue of the God of Wealth with his cane, and then took the gold ingot from the God of Wealth's hand.

"Click, click."

Suddenly, the wall began to rotate, and a small door appeared, which was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

"Come in." After saying this, the old man walked back to his seat tremblingly on his crutches.

Fu Dongsheng also exhaled, tidied his clothes and mask, and walked towards the small door with the small wooden box.

After Xu Jinhuan and Fu Dongsheng passed through the small door, they walked down and came to a street that was completely different from the outside.

Because the business has not yet begun, the lights in front of the shop are not on, but there are evenly distributed luminous pearls high up on the wall to provide lighting.

Therefore, although this place is located underground, it is not simple, and it is even somewhat prosperous.

Xu Jinhuan didn't expect that a ghost market in a county town would cost so much money. She was very curious about who was behind this ghost market.

While thinking this, Xu Jinhuan followed Fu Dongsheng to a house.

"Who is it?" the guard at the gate asked quietly.

Fu Dongsheng smiled and said, "I have made an appointment with Mr. Lin San before. Please tell Mr. Lin San that Fu Dalang is here."

When the guard heard this, he changed his previous cold expression and replied with a smile.

"So it's Master Fu. Third Master has already informed the concierge. If Master Fu is coming, there's no need to inform him. Let me take you in directly."

After saying this, the guard extended his hand respectfully.

Fu Dongsheng nodded somewhat reservedly, straightened his clothes, and then walked in with a smile.

After a while, he was led to the place where Mr. Lin Sanye met guests.

"Hey, Brother Fu, I've finally got you here. Come and take a seat."

After that, he said to his servant, "Go and make some Longjing tea that I just got before the rain."

Fu Dongsheng didn't expect Mr. Lin to be so enthusiastic. He pulled his sleeves uncomfortably. The last time he came, Mr. Lin was also warm to him, but he was not so excited.

Fu Dongsheng swallowed and decided to end the battle quickly.

He handed the wooden box to Master Lin San and said with a smile, "Master Lin San, this is the finished product I made recently. Please check it out."

Mr. Lin San took it with a smile, but without even looking at it, he put it aside and said to Fu Dongsheng with a smile.

"Brother Fu, you are so lucky."

Fu Dongsheng swallowed nervously again when he heard this, "Third Master, why do you say that?"

Master Lin smiled and patted Fu Dongsheng on the shoulder. "Brother Fu, I am always straightforward in doing things, so I won't beat around the bush with you. Your Excellency is very satisfied with what you made.

If you are loyal to that person, you will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

After hearing this, Fu Dongsheng felt a chill down his spine. It was over. His father was right.

Seeing Fu Dongsheng was stunned, Third Master Lin thought he was overjoyed and continued, "As long as you complete the task with quality and quantity, that nobleman will never treat you unfairly.

If you want beauty, you will have beauty; if you want money, you will have money; even if you want power, it is not impossible."

After hearing this, Fu Dongsheng almost slipped off his chair. The noble man that Mr. Lin Sanye mentioned must be in a high position and with great power to meet so many of his requests.

It seems that it is impossible to go to the capital.

"Third Master, can you give me a few days to think about it? I will give you an answer next time I come to deliver the goods." Fu Dongsheng can only resort to procrastination now. When he returns, he will take his parents and run away.

Mr. Lin San seemed to have not expected that Fu Dongsheng would be so ungrateful. Even with such good conditions, he still had to consider for a few days.

However, since Fu Dongsheng was still needed, Mr. Lin San did not get angry, but said generously: "Of course, Brother Fu, I am waiting for your good news."

After that, he took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Fu Dongsheng, "Brother Fu, this is the money for this time, take it."

Fu Dongsheng smiled and nodded. After taking the banknote, he said goodbye to Mr. Lin San and left without looking back.

"Mr. Lin, keep a close eye on him. If he runs away secretly, I will hold you responsible." Third Master Lin took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.

"Yes!" Lin Da said, and then he used his Qinggong to chase after him.

Third Master Lin blew on the tea and said, "I hope some people will not be ungrateful."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the teapot next to him suddenly rise into the air and pour a cup of tea into the empty cup.

Then I saw the teacup filled with tea flying into the air. The cup was slightly tilted, as if someone was really drinking tea.

"Good tea, it's worthy of being the top-quality Longjing tea before the rain." A voice that couldn't be distinguished between a man and a woman suddenly appeared in the room.

"You, are you a human or a ghost?" Mr. Lin San asked with his fingers slightly pale as he tightly grasped the teacup, but he looked calm.

Xu Jinhuan sneered and poured the unfinished tea directly on Mr. Lin San's head.

"you guess?"
