Chapter 267: Sister-in-law owes debts, cage house guarantees
After the banquet, Yu Lie left the Tao Palace.
Although he has already obtained a room in the Dao Palace, he only needs to go to the mountain gate of the Dao Palace to get it with the Taoist basket. But now he is barely a loner in Qianzhou Dao City.
Now that he has passed the assessment, Yu Lie naturally wants to go and announce the good news to his close relatives first, and then come to the mountain gate to receive some benefits during the day.
The overlapping architectural scene with cornices and brackets appeared in Yu Lie's eyes again.
Even at night, as long as it is not close to the curfew time, there are still countless pedestrians coming and going on the streets of Daocheng, including people and monsters, paper people, paper horses, and bull heads and horse faces.
Yu Lie blended in, looking ordinary and small. Once again, he felt the ubiquitous sense of grandeur and oppression in Qianzhou Daocheng.
But unlike before, he was now looking at everything in Daocheng with great interest. He felt that the feasting and feasting were very interesting, and there was a complex beauty in the city.
Going round and round.
Yu Lie rode the ground insect and arrived in front of a tall building.
This is where my sister-in-law Lawson lives.
Yu Lie found the door with ease, took out the charm to open the door from his bag, waved it gently at the door, and then opened the door and entered.
But to his surprise, after the charm shook, the door did not open.
"Huh?" Yu Lie tried again, but there was still no movement from the stone gate, which made him wonder whether the spell in his hand was damaged or ineffective.
Or perhaps, sister-in-law Lawson has already replaced the talisman on the door.
At this moment, a vigilant voice came from the door: "Who?"
When Yu Lie heard this voice, he was stunned, because although the voice was also a female voice, it was not the voice of his sister-in-law Luo Sen.
Immediately, Yu Lie turned to the door and asked, "Is Fellow Taoist Luo Sen here?"
Hearing the voice from behind the door, he returned impatiently: "Are you here to collect debt again? As you said, I got this house from the Yaren, what does it have to do with me?"
Such muttering made Yu Lie even more confused. He raised his eyebrows and said kindly: "No, no, no."
"Pindao is not a debt collector, but a friend of fellow Taoist Luo Sen. But can you tell me something about debt collection?" Yu Lie asked, cupping his hands.
There was a burst of laughter from behind the door: "How can any friend come to bother you in the middle of the night? I think you are Luo Sen's mistress. If you want anything, you can ask it yourself. She happens to be
Before moving away, he also left me a message."
So the woman behind the door told her an address.
After getting the address, Yu Lie didn't want to bother the other party too much. He nodded towards the door and left quickly.
It took him a long time on the way here, and now that the night was dark, he had to go over quickly to find Rosen, otherwise he would have to take it easy when the curfew came.
Yu Lie pondered the address given by the man at the door and found that the address happened to be a hotel. Even if he didn't find the person after he went there, he could spend the night in the hotel.
Not long after, Yu Lie arrived at the area where the diving hotel was located. There was not much time before the curfew.
However, his destination was not the diving hotel, but a strange hotel a few streets away from the diving hotel.
The hotel's facade is much grander than the diving hotel, and there are two Taoist disciples on duty.
Just when Yu Lie was about to ask the Taoist disciples on duty, he approached and found that the two Taoist disciples were holding peanuts and melon seeds in their hands, and their eyes were looking at a corner of the hall as if they were watching a play.
Yu Lie followed the other two's gazes and immediately spotted a familiar figure in the corner of the hall.
The other party was wearing a black robe and was quite low-key, but his long turquoise hair was exposed and looked dazzling. It clearly proved that the other party's identity was none other than Yu Lie's sister-in-law, Luo Sen.
Opposite Luo Sen, there were two Taoist disciples, one tall and one short, standing. The other side forced Luo Sen into a corner, looking like they were coming with bad intentions.
A layer of spiritual light shrouded the three people in Luo Sen, which must have been a sound-proof spell. Yu Lie could only see the other party's lips moving, but no sound came from them.
Yu Lie thought for a while and walked towards Lawson.
Because Luo Sen's back was to the corner, she didn't notice Yu Lie when he first entered the door, but when Yu Lie walked towards her, she caught a glimpse of him immediately.
After Luo Sen saw Yu Lie, the expression on his face suddenly became startled, then became cold and softened.
Her eyes moved up and down Yu Lie's body. When she saw that Yu Lie was walking without a limp and had a complete beard and tail, she was obviously relieved.
After coming back to her senses, Luo Sen continued to look at the tall and short Taoist disciples surrounding her with a livid face. She reached out and pinched them, breaking the soundproof spell.
Luo Sen's voice came out: "The night is already dark. If the two Taoists don't leave, they will inevitably violate the curfew."
"Hey, it's not the first time that we brothers have blocked Fellow Daoist Luo. Why is it the same reason every time?"
"By the way, Fellow Daoist Luo is coming back later and later. Are you avoiding us on purpose and trying to use the curfew as a cover?"
Yu Lie approached and immediately heard the conversation between the three of them.
Rosen stared at the two people opposite. She held the protective charm in her hand and took a step forward, bumping into the two people and stepping out of the corner:
"I'm going to take a rest. My fellow Taoists, please come back!"
The faces of the tall and short Taoist disciples immediately showed anger, and the mana on their bodies surged, as if they were about to take action at the next moment. But Luo Sen just looked at it coldly and said, "What, you two want to take action?"
When the two Taoist disciples saw Luo Sen becoming tougher, hesitation appeared on their faces. No matter how powerful the mana surged in their bodies, they couldn't even hold back a fart in their hands.
Just at this moment, Yu Lie also walked up to him. He thought for a moment, his body flashed, he accelerated and appeared in front of Luo Sen, and he shouted:
"Sister Luo, who are these two?"
Because Luo Sen took good care of Yu Lie, and Yu Lie was here to find him now, he stayed on Luo Sen's side without hesitation, looking up at the tall and short Taoist disciple with cold eyes.
The result was Yu Lie's glance, which shocked the tall and short Taoist disciples who were already in a tense state. Spiritual light flickered on their bodies, body-protecting spells poured out, and they even took out instruments.
This was because Yu Lie had just finished the assessment, and the murderous intention in his body was very strong, which was revealed inadvertently, and the Taoist disciples were so sensitive that they frightened the two Taoist disciples, tall and short, thinking that Yu Lie would take action if he disagreed with him.
"You dare!" A shout immediately sounded.
When Luo Sen saw that both the tall and short Taoist disciples had taken out their blood vessels, she looked anxious and blocked Yu Lie's path. A piece of parchment appeared in her hand, and it buzzed to reveal nearly ten talismans, floating beside her.
, aiming at the two Taoist disciples, tall and short.
A fight seemed about to break out, and the atmosphere in the lobby became extremely tense.
The only place where I wasn't nervous was the two Taoist disciples on duty behind the hotel counter.
When they saw the situation on the field, they had no intention of taking action to stop it. Instead, their eyes showed surprise.
It should be noted that once someone makes trouble in the store and breaks things, they will have to pay a high price for compensation. If someone dies, they help collect the body, and they can also take the opportunity to make a sum of money.
If both parties involved in the trouble are beaten to death by the ghosts and gods who arrive, they will make even more money.
But in the tense atmosphere, the two Taoist disciples, tall and short, held up the bloody weapons in their hands, but did not wave them out for a long time.
Instead, they looked surprised and said anxiously: "Wait a minute, you are not afraid of breaking the taboo! The curfew is not yet here!"
"If you want to take action, you have to go outside!"
Yu Lie looked at the two Taoist disciples, the tall and the short. Although the other two were both low-level Taoist disciples who had completed the transformation of water and fire and whose Taoism was higher than him. But after hearing such words, Yu Lie's eyes still showed
A sense of disdain.
Both of them are obviously tough-tempered people who only dare to deceive others but don't dare to actually do anything.
Lawson saw it, and there was a sneer in her eyes. However, she did not take back the charm beside her, but stepped out of the way, and said coldly:
"If you don't want to take action? Then the two fellow Taoists can leave. It's better to leave without seeing them off."
The two Taoist disciples, tall and short, took steps forward subconsciously, but when they realized the situation, they also had angry expressions on their faces and glared at Luo Sen and Yu Lie.
The short and fat Taoist disciple among them grabbed his companion, his tone changed, and he said like a knife:
"Oh! Could it be that the two fellow Taoists dare to take action again?
Mr. Luo, remember this. You can't escape this money. We have already made trouble in the workshop where you are, so we will not worry about trouble and continue to block you. Unless you leave one day.
Otherwise you will not be able to rely on this city."
When Luo Sen heard this, anger also appeared on his face.
Yu Lie listened for a few times and thought to himself: "It seems that what the man said about his sister-in-law being in debt was not false."
However, he still didn't understand what was going on when his sister-in-law Lawson refused to pay back the money she owed.
Yu Lie did not immediately step forward to take care of him, but stood aside and secretly sent a message to his sister-in-law Luo Sen to ask what was going on.
When Luo Sen heard Yu Lie's voice transmission, the anger on his face suddenly turned to embarrassment, and he also showed a look of helplessness.
Fortunately, she didn't hide it. She kept her mouth shut and conveyed the debt to Yu Lie.
After Yu Lie heard this, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
It turns out that Lawson's debt happened to be related to the cage house.
It is said that when Yu Fenggao was working at home to prepare for the Taoist examination, in addition to food, he also needed the assistance of pills every day. It was quite difficult to rely on Luo Sen alone to make money in the workshop, and his savings were exhausted.
So Yu Fenggao thought of a way. He used the quota in his cage house to borrow a sum of money from a moneylender in Daocheng.
But the cage house is only rented by Yu Fenggao. He only has the right to use it and cannot mortgage it at all. At most, Yu Fenggao can rent out the cage house again. Although it is against the rules and is considered a black job, it is still somewhat valuable.
, you cannot get a mortgage in a regular bank, but you can in an underground bank.
However, Yu Fenggao's credit is still not enough, so he needs to find a guarantor for himself to ensure that if the quota in the cage house is taken back by Daocheng, the underground bank can still find someone to recover the capital.
As for who the guarantor was, Yu Lie knew that it must be his sister-in-law herself without Luo Sen having to explain.
Luo Sen gritted his teeth and sent a message to Yu Lie, cursing secretly:
"I was really obsessed at that time and believed the lies surnamed Yu. The bitch named Yu said at the time that the guarantor was just a guarantee... but now he has been found on my body, causing a lot of trouble!"
Yu Lie secretly thought that his surname was also Yu, and whispered in his heart: "You are so careless, then how did you, sister-in-law, keep your body in front of my cousin?"
But things have become clear, and the most important thing now is to send the two debt collectors away.
Yu Lie suppressed his thoughts, looked at the two Taoist disciples with a smile, and said: "You two, Sister Luo owes a sum of money to the employer behind you because of the guarantee of the cage house, right?
"
The tall and short Taoist disciples hummed: "Yes."
Yu Lie pretended to be confused and said: "But as far as Pindao knows, the mortgage of the cage house is against the rules. If the root of the loan is wrong, can this matter really be protected by the laws of Daocheng?
"
The faces of the tall and short Taoist disciples showed hesitation.
Yu Lie then added: "You two or the boss behind you, did you sign a fairy contract with Sister Luo?"
This question hits the point.
If the Immortal Ruin Contract can be signed, Luo Sen will not have the opportunity to hide, and Taoist disciples high and low will not block people to collect debts like meat on a hob.
Because if you don't fulfill the contract, the most serious outcome will be to cancel the contract and completely ruin your future. If there is something else agreed in the contract, the debt collector can also arrest the debtor and judge the skin and flesh of the two.
Sell it with a clear price tag, as long as it doesn't hurt your life.
It's one thing to not sign a contract, but it's another thing to be in debt because of the guarantee.
The two Taoist disciples, tall and short, heard this and did not comment. They just stared at the remaining two people with smiles.
Just when the other two were about to say something, Yu Lie chuckled softly, unfolded his Taoist basket, and said slowly again:
"I am a poor Taoist whose surname is Yu. I am a member of the Taoist palace. Since this matter is against the rules, why don't we go to the ghosts and gods to discuss it now?"
The two Taoist disciples, tall and short, who were originally sneering, suddenly became stunned.
They stared carefully at the Taoist drum displayed by Yu Lie, and indeed they saw the Taoist palace brand on it. The dragon's energy surged from the branding, and it was absolutely true!
"This, this..." The tall and short Taoist disciples spoke vaguely, not knowing what to say for a moment.
If ordinary people tell them the rules, they will only make them laugh. But if the Taoist palace tells them the rules, they will not dare to laugh.
The one who sets the rules in the city is the Taoist Palace!
Yu Lie is currently a member of the Taoist Palace. Even if he violates the Taoist laws in the city, the yamen of the Taoist City have no right to deal with him. At most, they can capture him and hand him over to the palace. Even the disciples of the Taoist Palace themselves have a right to Taoism.
It is the responsibility of supervising the rules of the city.
Therefore, if Luo Sen's guarantee was brought before the ghosts and gods of Daocheng, and Yu Lie showed up, it would be a no brainer to think about whom the ghosts and gods would favor.
In the lobby.
The two Taoist disciples on duty at midnight had sharp eyes, and they could see the Taoist palace brand on the remaining Taoist vessels at a glance.
The two of them looked at each other, and then at Yu Lie's extremely young face, their eyes filled with deep envy and jealousy, and suddenly they felt that the melon seeds and peanuts in their hands no longer smelled good.
Luo Sen was right in front of Yu Lie, and naturally he could see Yu Lie's Taoist instructions clearly.
For a while.
On Luo Sen's face, there were expressions of surprise, relief, confusion, and inferiority mixed together. She stared at Yu Lie blankly, her eyes quite complicated.
