Cao Ning took a sip of milk tea and thought about it, and finally muttered reluctantly: "What you said does make sense, but the price is too low for me.
I, Cao Ning, am the soul ferryman, and the appearance fee must reflect my strong character, right?"
"Brother Ning, don't worry, I happen to have a few good ideas here. I couldn't handle them by myself before, so I never dared to take them.
Now that Brother Ning is here, there will be absolutely no problem."
Saying that, Zhao Hai took out his mobile phone with a smile and flipped through a few memos: "Brother Ning, look at this house, No. 16 of the Eastern Suburb Villa Group. This place is occupied by a few evil ghosts. When the owner found me, he was willing to pay ten yuan.
Ten thousand.
There are also these houses at No. 172 Dongjiao Lane. There is a thousand-year-old well here. It is said that Li Erdu drank water here in the past. The owner offered 30,000 yuan.
There are also several communities such as Phoenix Garden, Jiangnan Yipin, Yu Mingjun, etc., and there is a lot of business here."
"Yes, are there so many? Does the local ferryman not care about them?"
Cao Ning was stunned. If he hadn't been in Jiangning, he would have thought it was the city next door.
"Brother Ning, actually there are some tricks here."
Zhao Hai leaned into Cao Ning's ear and whispered in his ear: "Brother Ning, I heard that the new ferryman deliberately let it go.
These were all ownerless ghosts, and they were not registered in the underworld, so he turned a blind eye.
I heard from the gossip that he himself has private connections with a group of bounty hunters, and he wants to take a commission from them."
"New here? Jiang Ning is a new ferryman again? Why don't I know about this?" Cao Ning asked curiously.
"Ah, Brother Ning, you don't know!"
Zhao Hai looked around vigilantly and continued in a low voice: "I heard that the ferryman from Chengbei District was also trapped in the spiritual realm, so another one was temporarily transferred here.
Not to mention how stingy this guy is, I’ve seen him a few times and I’ve been sucked off by him a lot.”
"North of the city?"
Hearing this place, Cao Ning suddenly smiled bitterly.
Why is it this old area again?
This place can be regarded as the most troubled place in Jiangning.
After Lan Yihe retired, the two ferrymen, Leng Yu and Su Chuhong, brought him down one after another. Later, Mo Xuelan, who was temporarily replaced, turned out to be Lin Xiaoyun. In the end, he was trapped in the spiritual realm.
Speaking of which, the fate between Chengbei and him is quite deep.
Cao Ning frowned and said, "Who is in charge of Chengbei District now?"
Zhao Hai thought for a while and said: "It seems to be called Lao Liu. It was quite strange when I heard this name..."
"Is your name Yan Xiaoliu?" Cao Ning said excitedly,
"Yes, yes, my name is Yan Xiaoliu... Hey, do you know Brother Ning?" Zhao Hai asked doubtfully.
Cao Ning sneered: "More than just acquaintance, I know this guy who turned into ashes."
When they were in Qingshui Mountain, Cao Ning was almost raped by Yan Xiaoliu. At first, he said that he would treat him to a big dinner when he arrived in Jiangning, but he didn't expect that this guy actually came.
Cao Ning smiled and nodded, with a meaningful smile on his face: "If it were him, I would have one more way to make money."
"Another one?" Zhao Hai scratched his head in confusion.
...
As night fell, on the shore of the North Moat, a few middle-aged people wearing Taoist robes gathered in a pavilion on the shore.
There was a young man sitting cross-legged on the stone table in the middle of them.
The boy was wearing a cartoon short-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans that had been washed and turned white. There were two holes in the pants, and it was unclear whether they were original or caused by rubbing.
Yan Xiaoliu was counting a thick stack of banknotes in his hand. Several middle-aged men in front of him sat nervously around them.
Several pairs of big eyes were staring at the notes in Yan Xiaoliu's hand. Although the evening breeze was blowing, beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads nervously.
"One five makes five, two five ten, Women's Day on March 8th, April Fool's Day on April 1st...the amount is wrong, there is still a hundred yuan missing."
After counting for a long time, Yan Xiaoliu said with a drooped face.
"How is that possible? I clearly remember that I counted the number several times. How could there be one missing card?"
The speaker was a thin-faced man with an unshaven beard.
When he heard that the amount was wrong, the man immediately stood up and wanted to count it again himself, but Yan Xiaoliu, who had quick eyes and quick hands, put the banknotes into his pocket before him, and then stretched out his hand and spread it flat.
"..."
The corner of the thin-faced man's mouth twitched several times, and finally he reluctantly took out another hundred-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to Yan Xiaoliu's hand.
This is not the first time Yan Xiaoliu has used this method, just to gain more advantages.
"Hehe, the amount is right now."
Yan Xiaoliu smiled and put away the hundred-dollar bills, jumped down from the table and patted the thin-faced man on the shoulder.
"Well done. There are still several more companies waiting for you to deal with. Don't forget to give me a share."
After saying that, Yan Xiaoliu put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the pavilion.
After making such a huge sum of money, Yan Xiaoliu decided to celebrate by having a bowl of beef noodles tonight.
In order to reward himself, he even thought about adding an extra tea egg.
"Master Yan, please stay!"
At this time, Scarface, who had been sitting in the northwest corner of the pavilion, suddenly stood up, his tall body like Optimus Prime, so that Yan Xiaoliu, who was short of height, had to raise his neck to look at him.
"What's wrong? Could it be that I just counted too low again?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of several other people in the pavilion suddenly changed.
"My lord, you have misunderstood, it is not the case."
Scarface explained sullenly: "Back to your lord, our brothers have encountered a little trouble, and we would like to ask your lord to come forward and solve it."
"Trouble? Tell me and listen!" Yan Xiaoliu was immediately confused.
Scarface raised his hands respectfully and said, "Sir, recently we discovered that there are other bounty hunters operating in the north of the city, and he has already stolen a lot of our business.
Since we brothers have less financial resources, we will naturally have to give less to the adults for our share, so I want to ask the adults to come forward and let them go in the future."
"Is there anyone else? Why didn't I know about this?"
Yan Xiaoliu touched his chin and groaned: "Damn it, you dare not say hello to me when you come to work on my territory, and you haven't even given me a share.
Boy, you are in trouble, you are in big trouble.
Okay, I understand this. I will pay special attention to strangers. Don’t worry, since I said I would contract the north of the city to you, I will definitely keep my word.
Humph, if I find that guy, I will make him spit out everything he has eaten."
"Thank you very much, sir!"
Upon hearing this, Scarface's expression obviously softened a lot: "In addition, regarding the three-cent dividend... We, our brothers, would also like to ask you, for the sake of our hard work, if you can charge less..."
"Yeah, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. Let's talk about this next time. See you next Monday."
Before Scarface could finish speaking, Yan Xiaoliu ran away.
Wanting his money would be more uncomfortable than drawing his blood.
"hateful!"
Seeing Yan Xiaoliu's leaving figure, the fist in Scarface's hand clenched a little more.
"Second brother, this guy has just made it clear that he refuses to admit his guilt. What do you think we should do?"
The thin-faced man said angrily with a sullen face: "Although he was gnashing his teeth with hatred just now, I can see from his eyes that he must know the other party, and may even have reached some kind of agreement with the other party."
Bang!
Scarface punched the stone table, causing it to collapse instantly.
"Huh, let him be proud for a little longer!
Big brother is working down there right now, and when he comes, we won’t have to look at his face to eat."
