Chapter 279 Ghost Market

Not long after, Wu Dao had already chosen the people, and they changed their clothes and were waiting outside.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Yang Liang walked out.

Everyone has a feeling of light up.

Yang Liang put on a cotton robe and didn't even wear silk. With a hairpin casually stuck in his head, he had the feeling of a handsome and elegant young man.

He is well-dressed and has a dignified appearance. He already has a very good appearance, but by dressing up like this inadvertently, he already looks outstanding.

"Sir, are we being too showy?"

"Fashionable?"

Yang Liang thought to himself: "Have I tried my best to keep a low profile?"

"We are going to investigate a case, so we have to stay calm. If we are too public, we might alert the enemy."

"OK then."

Every Monday and Saturday, people from all villages and counties come here to sell goods or purchase supplies.

Yang Liang asked in confusion: "Old sir, how do you interpret these two sentences?"

"Haha, ever since I opened my eyes at the age of thirty, nothing major in this world can be hidden from me." The old man who told the fortune said leisurely: "You want to know about good or bad fortune, I can tell it with just one calculation?"

"Something strange?"

The dealer turned his eyes around and landed on Yang Liang: "This young man knows the goods at first glance. I have a black dog here. Is it best to kill it for meat?"

Min'an County is not too far from Qingshui County, and everyone has arrived at their destination in about an hour.

"It's just some talent." Yang Liang didn't talk much about this topic and said, "Are you all ready? We can set off."

As he spoke, Yang Liang threw a piece of silver over.

Yang Liang nodded. He was now dressed in short clothes and looked like a coolie. But Wu Dao and the others were still standing guard around him, shouting in front of him and supporting him in front of him, which was not normal.

Yang Liang took care of himself and never looked back.

There are several large dogs in iron cages, and a shirtless vendor is selling to the pedestrians gathered in front of him.

Slowly, the river under the bridge dried up, but the market on the bridge became lively.

At this time, an old fortune teller next to him suddenly said something.

The dog dealer's eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily: "You have found the right person for me. My name is Gou Shengzi. I specialize in selling dogs. I travel to several surrounding counties. There is nothing I don't know."

Several people broke into pieces and mixed into the market.

It was originally a wooden bridge over the river, where pedestrians came and went to exchange items, and gradually it became a market.

"Alright."

"This big yellow dog is a good guard at home and yard. It can run faster than a thief. If you buy it back, you can guarantee that nothing will be lost. This little red dog is specially used for hunting. It can run faster than a fox." .”

According to the clues collected by Wu Dao, this is a place called Huangqiaoji.

At this time, the Huangqiao Market was bustling with people making candy, selling medicinal materials, selling dogs and meat, and reading fortune-telling with people.

He was about sixty years old, with gray hair, his eyes narrowed into a line, and a lazy expression on his body.

Yang Liang sighed and went back into the house. After a while, he came out of the house again. He had changed his robe into short clothes, tied a coarse cloth belt around his waist, and deliberately smeared his face with some black ash, so that he looked ordinary. Not that surprising.

Wu Dao nodded and said, "That's good. I didn't expect you to be so good at disguise."

Yang Liang said: "I'm not here to buy a dog, I'm here to find someone."

Gou Sheng thought for a moment and said, "I know, I know, but I can't tell you now."

Judging from his appearance, he probably regarded Yang Liang as a servant of some big house. Although Yang Liang had put on short clothes, his skin and flesh were tender and he did not look like a coolie.

"Sir, we should act separately. If there is any news, we will meet at the bridgehead." Wu Dao said.

"My lord please."

"That's not possible. We only sell dogs here, not people." The dealer lowered his voice: "But if you really want it, I have a way here. I wonder if you want to find a wife or a girl for the master's family?"

Not only that, I also take into account that you have now become an official, not only an official, but also a high official.

There were two carriages parked outside the gate. A group of people got into the carriages. With the whips whipped, the carriages creaked and began to move forward.

"Uncle, don't leave yet, uncle, let's chat carefully." Seeing that Yang Liang was spending a lot of money, Gou Sheng didn't want to miss this big business, so he worked hard to recruit him.

He raised his left hand, pinched his fingers to find the root, and after a moment said: "My body is like a floating boat that travels all over the world, and the whole world will hear about it."

The old man said: "What this means is that you are from a poor family and if you want to make a fortune in your hometown, you cannot make a fortune. You must abandon your family and start a new family.

Yang Liang said: "You have been here for so long, have you ever heard of anything strange?"

Yang Liang saw that he was talking in vain, he probably didn't have any real information in his stomach, and he didn't intend to waste time here.

"Young man, whether you are looking for someone or asking for directions, why not make a divination for good or bad luck?"

Yang Liang asked: "How long have you been here? I want to ask you something?"

Yang Liang had nothing to do, so he simply walked over and said, "Old god, how do you know I'm looking for someone?"

Yang Liang crossed his arms and looked at each stall, finally staying in front of a dog stall.

When they were almost there, Yang Liang asked someone to park the carriage in an inconspicuous place, and he and Wu Dao went there on foot.

I wonder if what I said is right? "

"Yes, that's absolutely right!"

Yang Liang opened his eyes wide, gave a thumbs up and said, "When I saw the old gentleman last time, I saw that you were extraordinary in appearance, and it turned out to be so when I saw him today."

"Uh... have you seen me?" the old fortune teller asked.

Yang Liang nodded: "It's in the lobby of Qingshui County. Didn't you also watch the excitement?"

"Uh……"

The old fortune teller's face turned blue and white, and he said awkwardly: "The imperial envoy has a photographic memory, I admire him."

Yang Liang chuckled: "Otherwise, how could I have won the top prize?"

This old fortune teller's name was Sun Tiezui, and he also traveled all over the country to make a living.

In the fortune teller business, the news must be accurate. If not, how can the fortune teller be accurate?

He happened to have met Yang Liang in Qingshui County, and when they met again today, he wanted to bluff Yang Liang, so that he could become the guest of the imperial envoy.

That's not just to get the wind or the rain, but I can also get two beautiful girls to warm my bed.

Unexpectedly, Yang Liang had a photographic memory and recognized Sun Tiezui.

At this moment, he wanted to dig a crack in the ground and crawl in. This imperial envoy was a very thief, so he was not easy to deceive.

Yang Liang snorted coldly, not intending to argue with him, and stood up to leave.

"Sir, I have one more thing to tell you. If you really want to know something, can you ask me in the ghost market?"

"Ghost market?" Yang Liang took back his steps.

Sun Tiezui nodded and said: "This Huangqiao Fair is divided into day and night, and it is really lively at night. At night, there are tomb robbers, flower photographers, and the stolen things are sold here. Master, if you are interested , you can come back for a stroll in the evening."

Yang Liang thought for a while, waved his hand and threw a silver ingot, which landed in Sun Tiezui's lottery tube with a thud.

Sun Tiezui quickly picked it up, put it in his mouth and bit it, saying thank you. At this time, Yang Liang had quietly gone away.

Looking at the money in his hand, Sun Tiezui was full of regrets. If he stayed close to the big tree of the Imperial Envoy, he could earn as much money as he wanted in the future and marry as many wives as he wanted.

Now I only have this ingot of silver, which is really not enough.

After leaving Sun Tiezui, Yang Liang walked around the market again. Finally, his stomach growled and he stopped in front of a noodle stall.

He ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup with chili pepper, and soon he was sweating.

I've been wandering around for a day, but I still haven't found any clues. It seems that I really need to do what Sun Tiezui said and go to the ghost market at night to wander around.

"My lord, my lord..."

At this time, a flattering voice sounded behind him. Yang Liang turned his head and saw the dog dealer approaching with a flattering smile on his face.

"you……"

Yang Liang frowned.

"Sir, I heard everything just now. You are an amazing person. If you just stretch out your hand, you can nourish me for the rest of my life. I have no other ability. The most important thing is to be loyal. Whatever you ask me to do, I will keep it for you. Stay grounded.”

Yang Liang sighed and said, "I want you to get out."

"what?"

Yang Liang stretched out his hand and waved it in the air.

There were two silver sword guards protecting Yang Liang. Seeing this scene, they quickly came over and took Gou Sheng away immediately.

My identity as the imperial envoy has been exposed. Now I can say that I can determine the fortune and misfortune of others, so it is inevitable that some people will want to curry favor with him.

The same is true for the people I meet in the officialdom, but after all, their ranks are higher and they won't act too disgusting.

This kind of market person is different, they don't hide it, they just give it directly.

Looking at the hot soup noodles in front of him, Yang Liang's appetite was almost destroyed.

You'd better hide yourself, lest anyone come close to you again and expose your identity.

He put down two coins, stood up and was about to leave, when he saw a maid-looking person standing behind him.

Seeing that she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, she was neatly dressed, with a trace of pride on her face, and said to Yang Liang: "Big man, are you looking for a job?"

Yang Liang paused and said, "Yes."

"Hey, you're lucky. Our master's family happens to be short of people. We need someone to do watch duty and take care of three meals a day for ten coppers a day. What are you doing?"

Yang Liang rolled his eyes and thought, wouldn't this be the best way to hide his identity?

He nodded and said, "I can try."

"Look at you, you still look reluctant. Let me tell you, this is something that many people can't ask for." The little maid turned her waist and said, "Let's go, come with me."

Yang Liang followed her and said, "Miss, I would like to ask, where is our home? Is it far from here?"

"It's not far, only seven or eight miles away. I'll let you meet my master later."

Not long after, Yang Liang came to a large locust tree, which blocked the sky and the sun. There was a carriage parked underneath, with a driver driving a green-skinned mule.

"Madam, I will find one for you. You can see if it works."

"Ah."

A slow voice sounded from the carriage, the curtain was opened a crack, and a woman stuck her head out and looked Yang Liang up and down.

Yang Liang saw that she was about thirty years old, with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and she was looking forward to her appearance.

"How dare you, who told you to look blindly?" the little maid scolded.

"Chun Yu, don't scare others by talking too much."

The woman said, then smiled and said to Yang Liang: "How old are you?"

The maid named Chunyu felt that Madam's tone was not right. Madam, who used to be cold and sarcastic in the past, suddenly became gentle today.

Yang Liang, on the other hand, is well-informed and knows that his talent as a master killer is quietly working again.

This woman obviously had bad intentions for herself.

God, I thought it would be easy to have a job.

He already wanted to withdraw, and said: "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home and asked me to buy something tonight."

"Isn't that just right?" the woman said, "I also want to leave after dark, so it would be good for you to sit here and chat with me.

Chunyu, take out the snacks in my box and give them to this little brother. "

"Here, here you go, eat quickly. This is a snack made by Madam herself. I can't even eat it if I want to."

Yang Liang couldn't refuse, so he sat awkwardly under the big locust tree.

The lady even got out of the carriage, moved a low stool and sat next to Yang Liang, winking at him constantly.

Yang Liang was very familiar with this kind of gaze.

After talking, Yang Liang learned that the woman's surname was Yu, and that she was from Yujiazhuang, not far from here. Her husband was a businessman, and later he left without looking back. He didn't know whether he died or something, so he left her alone.

This woman is also unusual. She managed to carry on the family business and became a well-known wealthy household in Min'an County.

Mrs. Yu also looked at Yang Liang with admiration. Yang Liang spoke unhurriedly and neither was arrogant nor arrogant when facing her. He was neither nervous nor unscrupulous like other men.

Coupled with his young age and dignified appearance, Mrs. Yu couldn't help but feel aroused.

"This little brother, you don't look like a day laborer?" Mrs. Yu said.

"Indeed, I was passing by here on business."

"As expected, this girl Chun Yu is also unorganized and pulls people over randomly."

Mrs. Yu's attitude towards Yang Liang has changed greatly at this time, and even her frivolous heart has been restrained.

On the contrary, Yang Liang became interested in this woman. It was really not easy for a female prostitute to support the family business.

At this time, two silver sword guards were staring at Yang Liang in the distance. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but praise him.

"Master Li is indeed extraordinary."

"Yes, he can't walk when he sees a woman, and a woman can't walk when she sees him."

"I don't know what's so good about that kind of thing."

"It should be excellent."

Time gradually passed, it gradually became dark, and there were fewer and fewer people at the market. In the end, only a few people selling Dali Pills were left.

Several bonfires were lit in the market, and people gathered around the bonfires.

Mrs. Yu and her carriage still stayed under the big locust tree.

Yang Liang looked around and said, "Madam, when do you plan to leave? It's too late. If you don't leave, it won't be safe."

Mrs. Yu said: "To be honest, we are actually here for the ghost market."
