Yu Xiaolong walked aimlessly around the city and found nothing unusual, so he came to an inn.
"Sir, do you want to stay at the hotel?" A dwarf ghost, only one meter tall, stood on the counter and waved his hand.
"Uh...how much?" Yu Xiaolong asked cautiously as he didn't understand the market here.
"I see that you are also a stranger. Are you from another city? How about this, two hundred coins a day, and you will come often in the future." The dwarf ghost said with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong touched his pocket and felt very embarrassed.
Before leaving, Master Fanqing gave him two thousand nether coins to prepare for emergencies.
But when he entered the city gate to take care of the Yin soldiers guarding the gate, he took out 1,800 ghost coins in a hurry. Now he only has 200 in his pocket. Now he has given them to him in case he needs the money again.
It's difficult to deal with the situation.
"Uh... this... I'll just take a look... haha." Yu Xiaolong took out his hand and embarrassed himself to save face.
Rumplestiltskin looked at him and immediately understood the reason. Just as he was about to say something, there was a "bang" and a chair flew up to the ceiling.
Yu Xiaolong turned around and saw two ghosts, one fat and one thin, standing at the door. They stared with blood-red eyes like copper bells, each carrying a long knife behind them, and they smiled fiercely.
"Ouch! Isn't this Master Tang and Master Wu? You two adults, please come in, please come in!" The dwarf ghost jumped down and ran over.
The two ghosts were not polite and sat down, sliding their thick fingers on the table.
"You two have tea!" Gnome brought the teapot and teacup.
"Don't drink!" The fat ghost waved his hand.
"I'm just here to sit around and do your thing," the thin ghost said with a smile.
The dwarf ghost smiled stupidly and backed away slowly. The two ghosts sat there silently, just grinning.
"Uh... Mr. Tang and Mr. Wu, there haven't been many customers recently, and the shop has very little income at all. You two adults, see if you can... haha." The dwarf ghost nodded and said softly.
"Isn't this a guest?" Fatty pointed at Yu Xiaolong and said, "Last month you said wait a minute, my brothers gave you a month's grace, and now you still say no, doesn't it seem unreasonable?"
The thin ghost grinned with a blood-red mouth and said: "Boy, I can't do anything when Mr. Tang is angry. I even tried to persuade him, saying that your shop has few people, but your continuous arrears are against the rules."
"Yes, I know how hard it is for Mr. Tang, and I also know that it's not easy for Mr. Wu. But I really... can't make ends meet. You two, my dear, please give me another month of grace."
Yu Xiaolong stood there confused.

People were watching, wondering what they were up to.
While he was wondering, he suddenly noticed a ghost waving to him in the back room.
Yu Xiaolong walked over mechanically and asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"
"Sir, please come here quickly, we are probably going to take action today," the ghost said in a low voice.
"Do it? What do you mean? From what they said, it seems that this store is in arrears with rent?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"What kind of rent! This house belongs to the boss himself, the short man outside. Those two Mr. Tang and Mr. Wu are from the local Zhou family. The shops on this street have to pay tribute to the Zhou family every month. Last one
Because I didn't make much money, I delayed it for a month. No, today is here. This time it must be quite difficult. Either the boss was beaten, or the store was smashed. Hey... It's not easy for the boss, even the workers like me can see it.
I can’t go down.” The ghost sighed and said.
"What? I have to pay tribute to them for my house? Why?" Yu Xiaolong became depressed when he heard this.
"Hey, sir, you are not a ghost in this city. The Zhou family is the largest force in the local area. They bully the market, defraud, and do all kinds of evil. Every ghost hates them. But there is nothing you can do. They are very powerful, and it seems like they are up there.
There are also relatives. Can you tell me what we can do?" the ghost said with a wry smile.
"Is that so? No wonder those two guys are not good at first glance!" Yu Xiaolong frowned.
"Shh... keep your voice down, it will be troublesome if you are heard." The ghost quickly waved his hand.
Looking through the door curtain, I saw that several tables outside had been smashed, and Rumplestiltskin was kneeling on the ground begging to be moved around.
With a "pop" sound, the dwarf ghost flew several meters away.
The fat ghost sneered and said: "I don't know how to flatter you! If you don't have an answer today, don't open this store, hehe.
"Master Tang, Master Tang! I beg you, I'm an old man now, and I still have a wife and children at home. Please be merciful to me. I will personally deliver it to you next month!" The dwarf ghost knelt on the ground.
cried.
"Be merciful? If you're like me, how can you forgive me? No one can do anything about it, right?"
The fat ghost waved his hand, and the long knife flashed past, turning a table into scrap again.
"Mr. Tang, why bother? It's just a few small coins. It's not good to be so angry, hehe." The thin ghost sat there and said in an angry tone.
"Today I will let these people see what happens if they default on their debts!" The fat ghost kicked a bench off the ground.
There was no one within ten meters outside the store, and everyone stayed away for fear of being affected.
"Made!" Yu Xiaolong clenched his fists and cursed.
Ghost look
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
She looked at him and said softly: "Sir, if you don't understand, please don't mix it up, otherwise you won't get any good results. Although the boss is very pitiful, it's all in vain and we can't help. Hey."
Suddenly, a scream came from outside.
Yu Xiaolong took a look and saw that the fat ghost was grabbing the dwarf ghost by his neck and lifting him into the air. He said fiercely: "It seems that I won't be able to survive until I take off your leg today."
The bright long knife was already in the air, and it looked like a tragedy was about to happen.
"stop!"
Yu Xiaolong roared and walked out of the back room.
Master Fanqing knew his temper, so he told him not to meddle in other people's business. The underworld is very complicated and not much better than the underworld. As a person who goes down to the underworld, you must keep a low profile. You must not take action until your life is at stake, let alone expose yourself.
The details of.
But Yu Xiaolong has always been accustomed to fighting injustices, so how could he bear it when he encountered something like this today.
The fat ghost and the thin ghost were startled, turned to look this way, and blinked in confusion.
"Put him down!" Yu Xiaolong frowned and roared in a low voice.
The fat ghost didn't react for a moment and subconsciously threw the dwarf ghost to the ground.
"Who are you?" The fat ghost stared at Yu Xiaolong and asked, "You don't look like you are from this city."
"Send your name." The thin guy still had a smile on his face.
Yu Xiaolong stepped forward, helped the dwarf ghost up, and said, "Get out of the way."
The dwarf ghost stood there stunned, and whispered in Xiaolong's ear: "Sir, please leave it alone and leave quickly!"
"Get out of the way, go wherever you want, let's see who goes today." Yu Xiaolong pushed him away and sneered.
"Oh ho? Mr. Wu, I haven't seen a fight in a while, hehe." The thin ghost said with a smile.
"What kind of bastard did you come from that doesn't want to live anymore?" the fat ghost asked, raising his long knife.
Yu Xiaolong was furious. If he were in the underworld, he would have killed them long ago. But this is the underworld, and on their territory, he still has the task of rescuing people.
In the back room just now, he kept thinking silently in his mind: don't be impulsive.
But seeing that Gnome was about to be chopped down, Yu Xiaolong couldn't help but rush out.
Now that he was riding a tiger, Yu Xiaolong was thinking about how to solve the problem.
"Where did you come from, kid? I chopped you up without saying anything!" The fat ghost asked, staring at Yu Xiaolong.
"It's interesting. It's a lot of fun today." The thin guy said with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong took a long breath, put away his frown, and said with a smile: "Greetings to Mr. Tang and Mr. Wu!"
