After Yun Song learned about Manzi Courtyard, he was not optimistic that the compound would be easy to find.
The reality turned out to be more optimistic than he imagined.
Not only is Manzi Courtyard easy to find, he has also been there!
It was the compound that the Gou family temporarily used as a casino.
After discovering this, Yun Song immediately started to think about it.
When he first entered the front yard of the compound because Wang Meng was killed by a water ghost, Wang Lin did tell him that the compound had a larger backyard. So according to the Duan family's wishes, Mr. Shenji was hiding in the courtyard.
In the backyard.
But what does he eat and use these days?
The old town is so big, so someone must be aware of the cost of food and clothing for one more person, unless——
Unless Mr. Shenji can live without grain.
Otherwise, someone is secretly sending him food!
Following this idea, Yun Song quickly made a guess in his mind:
The courtyard belongs to Gou Dahu's family.
When he asked Gou Wenwu before if he knew Mr. Shenji, the man's reaction was wrong.
Connecting these two things, Yunsong immediately understood.
The big dog owner and Mr. Shenji have secretly made dirty deals!
He thought again about the two real and fake Gou Wenwu in Gou Dahu's house. He had never heard from Gou Wenwu since he sent him to Gou's house. So, could there be something in this matter?
question?
He thought of the two brothers from the Duan family.
In fact, there is a similar situation between Hui Shou and Duan Boss. The two souls shared the same body.
Then Yun Song wondered, could the two Gou Wenwu have two bodies but actually a set of souls?
He immediately gave up this conjecture.
It's not surprising that two souls enter one body. It's unheard of for one soul to be in two identical bodies.
After all, the level of productivity and social development in this world is similar to that of the Republic of China on Earth, so there is no possibility of cloning technology.
When he returned to Wang's house, it was already getting slightly brighter, and there were many early risers starting to work on the street.
The adults took advantage of the coolness of the early morning to go to work in the fields, while the children and the elderly carried baskets at the foot of the mountain to collect dry firewood, and picked up cow dung and horse dung on the road.
Yun Song practiced directly facing Chaoyang. This time he not only practiced the "Pure Yang Qi Refining Technique", but also took advantage of every opportunity to practice the "Tai Shang Arctic Conquering Demons and God's Curse to Kill Ghosts".
At noon, he wanted to go to the Manzi Courtyard to visit, but after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.
If Mr. Shenji is hiding inside, he will be easily exposed if he enters the backyard rashly, and it is hot during the day and it is inconvenient for him to use his ghost body, so it is more suitable to go at night.
After all, night is his home court!
Have a meal at noon, practice Qigong in the afternoon, and soon evening will come.
Yun Song loaded up the shell gun with bullets and attached a magazine to his left and right waists. This gave him the confidence to deal with Mr. Shenji.
No matter how powerful Mr. Shenji's Taoist skills are, he has to carry his head on both shoulders, and he will still die if he is hit by a bullet!
He's not afraid if bullets can't kill him, he still has mountain cannons!
If it doesn't work, he will bring out the mountain cannon and find a way to fuck him!
As the sun set, Yunsong led the big elephant to a restaurant.
In the past, he didn't spend any money to eat in the old town, and all the money was paid to Wang Youde.
Now that he has to take care of Big Ben Elephant's business, it would be inappropriate to hang up the account again.
So Yun Song entered a bank for the first time in his life.
According to Gou Wenwu, there are already banks in cities such as Shanghai these days, but not in the old town. There is only one bank in the town.
The bank's name is Gou Bu Li, and I don't know how the Gou family came up with such a name. I don't know if it was because they had eaten Goubuli steamed buns in Jinmen.
Gou Bu Liang Bank looks decent. It is a large house with three halls. There is a big sign hanging at the door. In the middle are the five characters of "Gou Bu Liang" Qian Zhuang. On it are the three words of "Fairness and Integrity", and then the words "Exchange" below.
Silver dollar, copper dollar, copper coin'.
There are couplets on both sides of the mansion, one side is "Businessmen from the north and south come to the north and the south", and the other side is "The pawn shop from the east to the west pawns the east and west".
Yun Song suddenly asked: "Is this Gou's bank also a pawn shop?"
Dabenxiang nodded and said, "Yes, originally the pawnshop business was not owned by our family, but was run by outsiders. However, the Gou family is not a pawn. They hired thugs from the county town to destroy others."
"How to destroy it?" Yun Song asked.
The big stupid elephant sneered and said: "Spill feces and urine on other people's doors, and chicken and pig blood on other people's doors, forcing them to leave our town."
Yun Song asked: "The patrol and the security team don't care about this matter?"
Big Benxiang said: "The city is too far away from our town, so the patrol can't control it. As for the security team? At that time, the leader of the security team was not Wang Lin. He was with the Gou family, so he definitely didn't care."
Yun Song was furious and walked into the bank with his sleeves waving.
There are three entrances to the Qianzhuang. The first entrance is the entrance hall, and the second entrance is the hall. There is a horizontal plaque with the words "Jingshi Hall" on the beam.
Dabenxiang explained to Yun Song: "These three characters are taken from the book of Songs, 'By the Shiling Platform, by the management of it'."
Yun Song was surprised: "You know all this? Are you a scholar?"
The big elephant grinned and said, "Just listen to what Mr. Feng Da said."
The third door is closed. There is a desk outside the door, and a clerk is writing at the desk.
He didn't even raise his head when he heard the footsteps and said: "It's getting late and our shop is closed. Please be early tomorrow."
Yun Song laughed when he heard this. He slapped the shell gun on the table and said sharply: "Tomorrow? Xiaodao can wait, but I, my iron junior brother, can't wait!"
The waiter was startled by the gun on the table. He looked up and was startled when he saw Yunsong's appearance. He quickly smiled and said, "It turns out to be a real person. Please wait a moment. I'll call the shopkeeper now."
The big elephant curled his lips.
Yun Song understood this clearly: "Has he bullied you?"
The big elephant gave a vague smile: "It was fun."
Yun Song looked at this majestic bank, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Has this bank ever defrauded you of your money?"
The big stupid elephant laughed at himself and said: "How can I have the money to let them cheat me? Hehe."
Yunsong was very disappointed.
I originally thought I could do it sideways.
Dabenxiang said: "The people who cheated the Gou family the most were the foreigners who used to open pawnshops in our town. They cheated people out of their money and goods by playing tricks. It is said that the pawnshop was opened by a husband and wife who borrowed money, and they were cheated by the Gou family.
After losing all their money, they hanged themselves, leaving behind a pair of children..."
At this point, he couldn't help but shake his head: "It's worse than me."
The waiter ushered the shopkeeper over.
The shopkeeper obviously knew Yun Song, and he quickly saluted: "I have seen the real person, what kind of wind brought the real person here? No wonder I saw a magpie passing through the hall just now when I went to the lower door. It turned out to be a distinguished guest."
Yun Song took out two banknotes and handed them to him and said: "Fusheng Supreme Heavenly Lord, the shopkeeper doesn't have to pick it up. To put it nicely, Xiaodao is here to do business. Here, exchange it for Xiaodao."
The shopkeeper took the banknote and looked through it carefully, then smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, real person, I can't change it."
"To be honest, our bank doesn't have that much money!"
Yun Song slapped the gun again and said angrily: "Go to the grave to burn newspapers, you are fooling the devil! You are doing bank business and you can't even exchange two ten-yuan silver notes?"
He has been down the mountain for some time, and naturally has a general understanding of the world's monetary system.
The reason why he says he has a "rough understanding" is not because he is being modest, but because the monetary system here is very troublesome.
There are roughly four types of currency, the largest is the silver note, the most recognized is the silver dollar, the most common is the copper dollar, and finally there is the copper.
Now in Kyushu, a group of warlords have formed a provisional central government, which is directly called the "Dalong Military State".
They issued the "National Currency Ordinance", which converts currency in decimals, which is similar to the modern currency system on earth. The maximum amount is one yuan, one-tenth of each yuan is called a jiao, one-hundredth is called a cent, and a thousand cents
One is called centimeter.
But what the common people use most are copper yuan and copper coins left over from the previous dynasty. Copper yuan is divided into three denominations: "when fifty", "when twenty", and "when ten". Among them, "when the number" is "can"
How many coppers does it mean?
Copper is the most basic currency, and the unit is "wen". One penny is worth two pennies.
The exchange ratio between silver dollars and copper coins is uncertain. According to the "National Currency Regulations", one copper coin is equivalent to one cent, so one silver dollar can be exchanged for one thousand copper coins.
But in fact the silver dollar was so strong that one silver dollar could be exchanged for copper coins ranging from one thousand one thousand to one thousand three thousand.
What is the current price situation? Yun Song has never bought anything, so he doesn't know, but for a bank, there is definitely no pressure to withdraw twenty silver dollars.
The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face and apologized repeatedly: "It really can't be exchanged. We don't have that much money here."
Yun Song said: "Go and call your boss Gou. I really can't believe that your big bank doesn't even have twenty silver dollars!"
The shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense. He asked the waiter to serve tea and ran out.
After a while, Gou Wenwu, whose hair looked as shiny as if he had put on shoe polish, came. After he arrived, he said directly: "Uncle, go to the cabinet and see how much money is left? No matter how much money there is, take it all out and give it to the real person!"
"
The shopkeeper was shocked: "Ah?"
Gou Wenwu's face darkened: "Master, am I speaking too softly or are you deaf? Take out all the money in the cabinet and give it to the real person!"
He then said sincerely to Yun Song: "The real person has paid too much for our old town, and I have never been able to repay it. Since the real person needs money today, I, surnamed Gou, must help out!"
Yun Song didn't understand what he was causing trouble, so he said he could exchange the money.
But he really couldn't exchange it, so the shopkeeper took out all the money he had saved, which was a total of two silver coins, a box of copper coins and a few strings of copper coins.
The total is certainly not five silver dollars.
Yun Song was really puzzled when he saw this.
Chapter completed!
