The fat ghost and the thin ghost looked at each other and stared at Yu Xiaolong with squinted eyes.
After a while, the thin ghost took the banknote, stretched out his thumb and said with a smile: "Haha, I haven't met such a sensible person in a long time. Okay, don't worry, kid, we two brothers will take special care of this store in the future!"
"Hahahaha... The little boy is very discerning and sensible. Mr. Tang, I will treat you as a friend from now on! If you have any questions, just come to me! At least in this city, it will definitely work!" The fat ghost was very happy and laughed heartily.
"Come on, that's it, my two brothers are leaving. You kid... Hahaha." The thin ghost stood up and walked out of the door with his hands behind his back. The fat ghost followed suit with his burly body thrown down.
Seeing them walking away, the dwarf ghost came out and knelt on the ground with a bang. He kowtowed with tears and said: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir! I met the gods today. I was bullied all my life when I was alive. I didn't expect to be a ghost queen." I met a god!"
Gui Xiaoer also knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said, "The boss is really lucky. Being able to meet a god makes me excited as a worker!"
"Okay, okay, you guys, get up. I can't bear to see you being bullied like this. Those two fools are so hateful! Mad!" Yu Xiaolong waved his hands and frowned.
The dwarf ghost said: "From now on, no matter when you come, you will always have free accommodation, food and drink. If you need anything, I will sacrifice my life to help!"
"Okay, okay, you've already become a ghost and you risked your life, and then you risked your life to save your soul and your soul flew away, haha." Yu Xiaolong pulled him up.
"What kind of fate do I have to meet you?" Rumplestiltskin was still wiping his tears.
"Come on, why are you crying like a girl? Let me ask, what do you call her?" Yu Xiaolong waved his hand.
"The younger one's surname is Dong and Sanbao. He also has an aunt and a child at home. He has been opening a shop here. There are not many customers and he can barely make ends meet." Dong Sanbao said.
"Oh... tell me about the Zhou family." Yu Xiaolong wanted to find out some information.
"Uh... Sir, please follow me to the inner room." After Dong Sanbao said this, he nodded and bowed and led Yu Xiaolong inside.
Entering the inner room, Dong Sanbao brought the teapot and said, "This is the best tea in our shop. Don't dislike it, sir."
"Well, what's going on with the Zhou family?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"Sir, you are not from this city, but you don't know that the Zhou family... is simply too bad! Most of the shops in the city need to pay protection fees. If they are late, they will make things difficult at best, or destroy the store at worst! Hey, they all suffered. "Dong Sanbao sighed.
"Are they very powerful?" Yu Xiaolong asked next.
"Hi... The Zhou family didn't have much in the past, but the new city god three years ago was the brother-in-law of Zhou Pinhu, the head of the Zhou family. Since then, the Zhou family has flourished." Dong Sanbao shook his head and sighed.
"So, the City God is not that good either." Yu Xiaolong snorted coldly.
"He, on the surface, is not as bad as the Zhou family, and he has done a lot of good things to this city. But I heard that he is not a good bird secretly. He can satisfy the people above him and make the people below him feel comfortable. So he He has always been relatively free, very insidious! With such a backer, how can the Zhou family not be prosperous!" Dong Sanbao said.
"That Zhou Pinhu is so arrogant. The brother-in-law is also a city god, so I can't control him at all." Yu Xiaolong took a sip of tea.
"Hey...what do you care about? How do you manage it? It's all your own! As long as it's not too excessive, the City God will just turn a blind eye. So Zhou Pinhu...it's us ghosts at the bottom who are suffering!" Dong Sanbao said aggrievedly.
"What kind of property does the Zhou family have?" Yu Xiaolong asked again.
"They have many properties, including banks, shops, restaurants, and casinos. I heard they even trade ghosts." Dong Sanbao shook his head.
"Since they behave like this, don't they have any resistance?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
"Yes, why not? But...they were either caught or killed, and the others have gone to other cities." Dong Sanbao sneered.
"Oh... it was so public. Didn't this city attract the attention of the higher-ups?" Yu Xiaolong continued to inquire about information.
"Hey... Sir, you don't know something... This city is in a relatively remote place. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Besides, the city god is very good at getting things done and can coax the higher ups well. Is there anything big going on here? The higher ups will also Too lazy to ask." Dong Sanbao smiled helplessly.
"I see... Are there practitioners in the city?" Yu Xiaolong asked tentatively.
"Yes! The Zhou family is just that, they are all powerful guys. So are the two just now, but they are not very good people. However, regardless of whether they are good people or not, we can't afford to offend them!" Dong Sanbao grinned.
Yu Xiaolong thought for a moment and asked softly: "Are there... people from the Yang world here?"
Dong Sanbao said: "Yes, but since those people can come to the underworld, they must be masters and do big things when they come. This is not something ghosts like me can see, hehe."
"Oh, I know." Yu Xiaolong nodded.
Dong Sanbao looked at him and asked, "Sir, are you here on business?"
"Ah? Oh, yes, let's do something." Yu Xiaolong replied: "You didn't ask me my name, so you just told me this much. Aren't you afraid that I'm from the Zhou family here to test you? Your life is at stake. Gone."
"Hey! If I'm a ghost like this and open a small inn like this, the Zhou family will make a big move to test me? It's meaningless! Besides, I never ask personal questions when guests come. I just open the shop honestly and don't care about other people's business. Haha." Dong Sanbao said with a smile.
Yu Xiaolong looked at him carefully and felt that this ghost was considered smart.
"Sir, I can see that you are definitely not an ordinary ghost, but you are definitely a good ghost. So I dare to ask a few more questions today."
Dong Sanbao said cautiously: "I know you are not helping the younger ones for no reason, there may be other reasons. But I sincerely advise you, sir, do not offend the Zhou family here, no matter whether you are justified or not. At worst, you will be kicked out. Going out of the city is the best outcome. If you might get beaten and injured, you still have to go in. If you piss them off, my lord, just... cough."
"My coming here has nothing to do with them. Also, please don't mention my affairs to others casually." Yu Xiaolong asked: "By the way, has anyone in the world of Yang ever offended the Zhou family?"
"Uh... I don't know about this. I just open a shop, so how can I know those things. But... I have heard some gossip before." Dong Sanbao said softly.
"What news?" Yu Xiaolong asked.
Dong Sanbao walked to the door and looked outside, then came back and said, "I heard that the Zhou family had arrested people from the underworld before, and then they seemed to have killed them!"
"Ah?" Yu Xiaolong was stunned and quickly asked: "Why? Are they so brave? Do they dare to kill people in the world of the world?"
"Hey! Why don't they dare? I heard that that person came down to do something and somehow offended the Zhou family. Then the trouble got bigger and bigger, and in the end they actually killed him and absorbed...what...absorbed the core I don’t know anything about breath. Anyway, after a while of rumors, we don’t know whether they are true or false.” Dong Sanbao shook his head.
"It's like this. It's really vicious to the extreme! Ma De!" Yu Xiaolong said through gritted teeth.
"By the way, sir, do you still want to stay in the hotel? I will find the best guest room for you. There will be enough meals and food tubes. How about a favor?" Dong Sanbao suddenly remembered.
