At the beginning, I was a rich female prisoner
Chapter 181 Ghost Doctor Business
Nangong Lin said, "This is still the outer street. Outsiders come here to sell their things. The inner street has things from my space, such as glass bottles, some small items, and delicacies, including all kinds of strange fruits."
"Why is this place so different from the Nandu Ghost Market I visited last time? Why are there mostly gambling houses and brothels there? My night market town doesn't do these businesses." Yu Yunxin asked.
"Alright, I know, but what's wrong with us in Ghost Market making money from the nobles and officials who exploit the common people? Besides, if we didn't make this money, how could we privately build a Shura City? How could we have the 100,000 soldiers left by my grandfather to fight against the West?"
Yu Yunxin thought for a moment and said, "Night market, ghost market, black market, do you remember the entertainment city where the princess and An Yuanhou lived?"
Nangong Lin looked at Yu Yunxin's agitated face and asked, "Were those your ideas?"
Yu Yunxin nodded and said, "Mahjong and playing cards can be bought in the space mall. We just need to send some smart people to learn them, or change the way of playing, and we won't compete with An Yuanhou for business."
Nangong Lin shook his head and said, "Forget about the vicinity of the capital. You know that Marquis Anyuan is my father's man and he is making money for my father. But other places are fine."
Yu Yunxin was a little shocked when she heard this: "But isn't the eldest princess not close to my father?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Lin tapped Yu Yunxin's head and said, "You only saw what they wanted to show you. Although the eldest princess is not my father's biological daughter, she is secretly one of my father's secret detectives."
Oh my god! She was kept in the dark about the relationship between the eldest princess and Fei Niao from Yanyu Manor. Yu Yunxin did not tell Nangong Lin about the other identities of the eldest princess and Anyuan Hou. It seems that she needs to have a good talk with the eldest princess after returning.
At this moment, the woman's face darkened again. She pointed at Eunuch Hua angrily and shouted, "Are you here to cause trouble on purpose? Ten taels of silver? Why don't you just go and rob it? I tell you, one tael or nothing, no deal!"
Yu Yunxin and Nangong Lin came to their senses and looked at Eunuch Hua who was reselling the harem's property.
Seeing this, Eunuch Hua was also a little angry. He felt that the girl was too unreasonable. She was blaming him even though the price was right. So he said coldly, "Miss, no, it's no use for you to make a fuss like this. You should know the rules of the ghost market. If you don't want it, just leave. I won't worry about not being able to sell it. If you make a fuss again, I'll call the black and white messengers over."
When the woman heard this, she burst into laughter. He looked at Eunuch Hua with contempt and said sarcastically, "Hmph! Ten taels is ten taels." The woman finally took out ten taels of silver and threw them to Eunuch Hua.
Eunuch Hua had seen too many women like this in the harem and the ghost market. He liked money. Besides, the price of this hairpin in a jewelry store in Beijing would be more than double. He ignored the woman's scolding and picked up the silver and put it in his pocket.
After watching the woman leave, he continued to hawk: "Don't miss it if you pass by. Come and see the authentic harem accessories."
Hearing this, Yu Yunxin also came forward curiously. She carefully examined the gold and silver jewelry in front of her, thinking secretly in her heart. She had seen these jewelry in the reward records of the treasury room, and they were indeed the items used by ordinary concubines in the palace. Moreover, she remembered very clearly that only concubines below the fifth rank were qualified to own such jewelry. As for who the original owner of these jewelry was, she had no idea.
When Eunuch Hua saw another woman coming to look at his jewelry, he immediately asked enthusiastically, "Madam, which one do you like? You can try it on."
Yu Yunxin smiled at Eunuch Hua. Nangong Lin, who was standing behind her, understood what Yu Yunxin meant and immediately stood beside Eunuch Hua. He smiled and said to Eunuch Hua: "We want all these from my wife."
When Eunuch Hua heard this, he was shocked. He looked at the couple with extraordinary temperament. He felt like he had seen them before, but they were wearing masks so he couldn't tell. He immediately packed up his stall.
There were also jewellery sellers on the other side of the stall, but the styles and the newness of the items were far inferior to those sold by Eunuch Hua. Not only that, the jewellery also had a strong earthy smell. It seemed to have a slightly rancid smell. Presumably, these were local goods that had just been unearthed.
Just as Yu Yunxin was about to reach out to touch those exquisite jewelry, suddenly, a snow-white, slender hand hit her hand as quickly as lightning.
"Girl, you don't want to live anymore! These jewelries are all covered with poison." This voice was very familiar to Yun Xin. It was the warning from her master, the ghost doctor.
Yu Yunxin raised his head and looked at the ghost doctor. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a flash of light before his eyes. In the blink of an eye, all the jewelry on the stall was taken away by the ghost doctor. He asked the stall owner expressionlessly, "Who else have you sold these harmful things to?"
The stall owner was so frightened that he was almost out of breath and stammered, "I... I just started my business today and I haven't had time to sell a single one..."
The ghost doctor's eyes were as cold as ice, and his tone was even colder: "Humph, you are lucky. However, you have also been poisoned by the poison barrier in the tomb. I am afraid you don't have much time left."
When the stall owner heard this, his face turned pale instantly, his legs softened, and he fell to his knees with a thud. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the severe pain in his body made it impossible for him to speak normally. His hands trembled involuntarily, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his flesh and blood. Finally, he couldn't bear the pain anymore, and suddenly pulled off the mask on his face, revealing a purple-black face. He shouted with trembling lips in fear: "Please...save me!"
When Hua Gonggong, who was cleaning up, saw this scene, he was frightened and immediately threw the jewelry in his hand to the ground. Not only him, but also several people around him took a few steps back when they saw this situation.
"Tomb robber, I will never save you. I never thought of saving you in the first place! Tell me, what is your last wish before you die?" The ghost doctor said in a cold voice. At the same time, his body moved like a gust of wind and he quickly pressed several acupoints on the man's body.
"I have sealed several acupuncture points on your body, which can temporarily prevent the poison from spreading throughout your body." said the ghost doctor.
"I hope to sell these jewelries at the ghost market and exchange them for some food for the families of my brothers who died in the tomb, so that they won't starve to death. At the same time, I also hope to leave some food for my own family. I am from Ninghe Village in Qizhou. The land in our village has been taken away by that hateful dog magistrate and the town's wealthy man Bai Changmin. The villagers lost their land and houses, and had no other choice but to do the business of digging. I beg you to have mercy on the more than one hundred people in our village and give them a way out. They now live in a dilapidated temple behind Lushan Mountain in Ninghe County." After the man said these words, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and stopped breathing.
The ghost doctor looked at him and shook his head, carefully put away the belongings on the stall, then said in a serious voice: "Okay, I will be responsible for arranging your funeral." His voice was low and firm, as if carrying an unspeakable responsibility.
At this moment, a fat little monk ran to the ghost doctor like a whirlwind, his eyes were clear and bright, revealing a clever look. The ghost doctor looked at him and asked with a smile: "Little ghost, come here! You have been in Xiangyun Temple for eight years, you should be able to save the souls of the dead, right?"
The young monk nodded confidently and replied, "Master, of course I can. However, there are so many people here to deal with, and I'm afraid I'll have to ask Boss Lei to help cremate them. When the time comes, I will chant the Rebirth Mantra to send them off." His tone was firm and serious, and it was obvious that he was very clear about his responsibilities.
The ghost doctor nodded with satisfaction, then patted the little monk on the shoulder and instructed: "Then I'll leave it to you. Oh, by the way, this is your sister... No, it should be said that she is your senior sister. Her name is Yu Yunxin, Princess Yu. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask her for advice." There was a hint of mystery in the ghost doctor's words, as if hinting at some important information.
The little monk looked at Yu Yunxin curiously, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Although Yu Yunxin was wearing a cat mask, her extraordinary temperament made him a little distracted, but he soon regained his composure. He bowed respectfully to Yu Yunxin and said, "Hello, senior sister, please give me more advice." Yu Yunxin smiled and nodded, responding to the little monk's greeting.
The little monk turned his head, slowly raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Yu Yunxin, and said softly: "Hello, Senior Sister, my name is Wuming. If you find it convenient, you can just call me Junior Brother Wuming."
At this moment, four mysterious masked figures suddenly appeared in the ghost market. They moved quickly and in a coordinated manner, working together to lift the corpse in front of them. The little monk followed behind the four people slowly, holding a wooden fish in his hand, tapping it gently while chanting the mantra of rebirth in a low voice. The sound was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature, and seemed to have a power that could penetrate the human soul.
"Attention everyone! There are some minor accidents in the ghost market. The market will close in two hours. Please continue to do your own business and don't meddle in other people's business. At the same time, please keep an eye on your belongings. If anyone has bought jewelry at stall 43, please go to Heshan Hall immediately. The ghost doctor will detoxify those who have touched the jewelry." Two figures dressed in black and white suddenly appeared in the center of the ghost market. Their outfits were very special, just like the legendary black and white impermanence. The two walked around the ghost market, repeating the same words.
"Oh, I'm going to die, I'm going to die! I just touched the red jade bracelet of that damn tomb robber. Will I die like him?" Eunuch Hua, who was standing aside, screamed at the top of his voice like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
"Don't be afraid, Eunuch Hua, pack up your belongings quickly and come with me to the Heshan Hall. I'll give you acupuncture and make sure you're fine." The ghost doctor patted Eunuch Hua's shoulder to comfort him, then turned and left, but turned back to look at Yu Yunxin and said, "What? Haven't you had enough shopping? If there's anything you like, just go to the Heshan Hall and find Lei Lao Ba."
After hearing this, Yu Yunxin responded: "Okay, I'll be there in a moment."
Yu Yunxin didn't want to go back. She had to go around the ghost market. In addition to the peppers and black chickens that Lin Dengyuan bought for her, she hadn't finished shopping yet. Then she and Nangong Lin started shopping and came to a very special one-eyed man. This man just covered his face with a cloth, and the exposed eye was particularly eye-catching. It can be said that he is a unique existence in the ghost market. Moreover, under Yu Yunxin's observation, she found that the stall of this one-eyed man had a box of pearls, several pieces of coral, and several baskets of potatoes and sweet potatoes that had sprouted. Yu Yunxin couldn't help but mutter in her heart, I really don't know what this person is thinking, he even took out sprouted potatoes to sell.
Yu Yunxin walked there lightly and said firmly: "Take all these things you have and go to the charity hall to negotiate the price. I want all of them."
Hearing this, the one-eyed man immediately smiled and responded flatteringly: "Okay, madam, I will do it right away!"
Nangong Lin took Yu Yunxin's hand and asked, "Come on, I'll take you to the inner street."
The inner streets were a different scene. The lights here were much brighter than those outside. She glanced at the eight round headlights on both sides of the street.
Nangong Lin smiled and looked in the direction where Yu Yunxin was looking and said, "I also have a biogas generator here. These lights are very bright night pearls in the eyes of outsiders, but you should know what these are!"
Yu Yunxin nodded, a glimmer of intelligence flashed in her eyes, and said: "Of course I know, you want Li Sinong to give you a clear idea of how to use these things. In this way, no one will doubt the origin of these things."
She turned her head and looked at the items on the stalls. She saw that one of the stalls was selling instant noodles. The rich aroma spread out, attracting people from all around to stop and watch. On the other side, there were several tables, which were already full of people. They were holding bamboo bowls and eating steaming instant noodles with relish, their faces filled with satisfied smiles.
On the other side of the market, there was a stall displaying a variety of fresh fruits, including durian, dragon fruit, and some off-season fruits. The stall owner enthusiastically called out to passers-by: "Come and have a look! These are all fruits grown by Princess Xingguo in the greenhouse of Nanling County. They are sweet and delicious. You can taste them before buying!" This shout immediately aroused the interest of many people, who gathered around to pick their favorite fruits.
Not far away, another stall displayed several exquisite wooden toothbrushes, cups, toys and other items, attracting many women to stop and watch. They admired these exquisite handmade products and carefully asked about their prices and uses.
As she was looking around, she suddenly saw Lin Dengyuan standing in front of a book stall, concentrating on selecting something. He seemed to be completely immersed in the sea of books, not paying any attention to the bustling environment around him. She smiled slightly, and did not go up to disturb him, but chose to quietly watch him selecting books.
