Chapter 26 Old Ghost Ye
"What is this?" Xiaolan asked softly at a round transparent hard ball on the stall.
Ling Changfeng looked at it intently and replied, "This thing is a Western toy, called a glass ball, and it is of little use."
Xiaolan nodded and looked at the stall again. At this time, the stall owner asked in a deep voice: "If the guest is interested in the items, please make a decision quickly. If there is nothing you like, retreat quickly and don't disturb me from doing business."
Seeing that his tone was stiff, Xiaolan was about to argue, but Ling Changfeng pulled her sleeve and signaled her not to be as good as the stall owner and just go to the next stall to take a look.
Not only did Xiaolan see the strange items on various stalls, but she saw various small toys from the West, and also saw various antique jade artifacts of unknown age, and even sold military armor and armor strictly controlled by the imperial court. In addition, some stalls also had martial arts warlocks, doctors, Qimen Dunjia, and fortune tellers, which were all kinds of.
After roughly walking around, Xiaolan did not make a deal, but just asked softly: "Young Master, who is the person you are looking for? Why did we not see him after walking around?"
Ling Changfeng pointed to the cave next to the hall and said, "This person is named Ye Laogui, and he is in the third cave on the left."
Xiaolan looked at the cave and asked, "Young Master, what is this cave used for?"
"This cave is inhabited by the people in the Ghost Market. They are basically criminals of the court and are inconvenient to move outside, so they live in this Ghost Market for a long time. Let's go there." Ling Changfeng explained patiently, and after that, he walked straight towards the cave.
Xiaolan nodded and stopped asking questions. She just followed Ling Changfeng to the cave door.
I heard a cough from the door, and then a weak voice asked, "Who is outside the door? The old ghost is in good health today and has no outsiders. Please ask this guest to go back." After that, he coughed again.
Ling Changfeng only whispered outside: "Old Ghost Ye is me. One of your acquaintances is not an outsider."
Old Ghost Ye suddenly seemed to have come alive and said, "Young Master Ling, why are you here? Come in and speak!"
Before Ling Changfeng could finish his sentence, he led Xiaolan to push the door and enter.
The dim candlelight in the house swayed gently. Because the old ghost rarely went out that night, he did not need to wear a mask here, but instead needed to wear a mask when he came out of the ground world.
The space inside the house is not big, a few feet square, and the two of them look very crowded as soon as they come in. The furnishings inside are also extremely simple. However, a bamboo bed and a chair are placed, and nothing else is left.
Under the candlelight, half of his face was covered with burn scars, gray hair was sparse and messy, his eye sockets were deep and his lips were shriveled. He was lying halfway on the bamboo bed to rest. He didn't know whether the cough just now was true or false, but the appearance of Ye Laogui was even more terrifying than that of the person wearing a mask.
Xiaolan comforted Xiaoyu who was restless in her arms for a moment, and she hid carefully behind Ling Changfeng. She was extremely curious about her experience, but she no longer looked at this person.
Old Gui Ye smiled and didn't care. He just looked at Ling Changfeng and said in a hoarse voice: "There are so many people here, so you dare to bring other people here. Be careful of being killed by a malicious person for money."
Ling Changfeng refused to comment and smiled faintly: "If you really have the courage, just try it. It may not be that easy to get money in my hands."
Seeing that the reminder was complete, Old Ghost Ye stopped talking and just nodded and asked, "What's the point of being here for Mr. Ling? Although Old Ghost Ye lives in this ghost market, the news is very informative. If you don't go to investigate the case, do you still have the leisure to take this girl to the ghost market?"
Ling Changfeng nodded and said, "You old ghost, are so well-informed. But I came here today not to stroll around, but to investigate the case. I wonder if you can help me?"
That old ghost Ye giggled and said, "You know my rules, so don't talk about helping each other or not. As long as you pay enough money, I, Old Ghost Ye, will definitely satisfy you."
Ling Changfeng nodded with a smile, gently threw a yellow gold ingot from his sleeve, and threw it towards the old ghost Ye.
That night, Lao Gui's thin hands steadily caught the gold ingot, and while playing, he smiled: "Young Master Ling, tell me what do you want to know?"
Ling Changfeng looked calm and asked calmly: "I want to know the news about the people who came here to buy rosin for half a month. How about it? Can I get it?"
Old Gui Ye was silent for a long time and said, "Give me a stick of incense!" After that, he got up and walked outside.
Seeing that he became full of vitality from his half-dead look, Xiaolan thought to herself: It turns out that money can make the devil push the mill.
When Ye Laogui walked out the door, Xiaolan asked curiously: "Young Master, how could you know this Ye Laogui?"
Ling Changfeng found a place to sit down and said slowly: "This is a coincidence..."
It turned out that half a year ago, Ling Changfeng had just arrived in Luoyang and passed by a gambling house. He found that Ye Laogui was jealous of losing, so he wanted to borrow money from the gambling house to make up the money. The owner of the gambling house would not pay attention to such people. Then he found a few guards to beat him up and drove him out of the gambling house.
It happened that the old ghost in Ye saw Ling Changfeng passing by, so he shouted loudly: "Young Master Ling, help me!"
Ling Changfeng was surprised when he had just come to Luoyang and someone knew him. He turned around and looked at Old Gui Ye, and saw a strange-looking person calling him.
Ling Changfeng walked over and asked and found out that this person was actually a famous little leader in the ghost market in Luoyang. He was just a gambler and owed a large amount of debt. He was still arrested by the yamen at this moment. However, this person was extremely informed by the eyes and ears of the night market. This time, Ling Changfeng came to Luoyang and naturally could not escape his eyes and ears.
Ling Changfeng intended to get to know the old ghost Ye, so he used a little trick to win back the 500 taels of silver that Ye Lao Gui lost today. That old ghost immediately realized that Mr. Ling was not an ordinary playboy, and he also wanted to rely on one of them to avenge his previous shame in the Luoyang gambling market in the future. Two people with ulterior motives got to know each other like this.
Of course, even though the old ghost Ye took Ling Changfeng to visit Luoyang Ghost Market several times, Ling Changfeng never agreed to help him go to the gambling house to win money. But Ling Changfeng would not come empty-handed every time.
After listening to Ling Changfeng's story, Xiaolan immediately said, "No wonder I said, "Young Master, you will occasionally disappear. It turns out that you have run to this place. But since the old ghost at Ye is so well-informed, I'll ask about the whereabouts of my master and her later?"
Ling Changfeng nodded with a smile and said, "This is naturally. If you don't mention it, I will ask him. Don't worry for now."
When Xiaolan heard this, she nodded and stopped talking.
"Two, I have been waiting for a long time. I, Old Ghost Ye, have brought the person you want. Within half a month, only this person has sold rosin." A moment later, the door of the cave was opened again, and Old Ghost Ye, led the man with a mask on his face and walked in.
