Chapter 1384 Plan for the Ghost Festival
As soon as the laughter fell, Gou Chengxuan said: "It's too hard for Mr. Hao to live here, it's dirty and smelly. It's not easy for us to come here to do business. How about I tell the master to renovate a house outside and ask Mr. to live in it. ..."

Hao Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't think this place is dirty and smelly, people's hearts are much cleaner than other places. I am here as the saying goes, like a fish in water, safe as Mount Tai."

"Mr. Hao lives here, don't Li Jia and the guards come to make noise?"

"Hehe, it's not a problem. No one is so disrespectful. The old lady Baozheng here is dying of illness. I saved her life by helping the doctor to get the medicine. He wants to kowtow to me and be a brother. As for the card armor, I don't bother to do this." The stinky muddy pond makes me feel uncomfortable. The yamen is 'too public', and I dare not come here—the dead man's pit in the cemetery behind, and the Qiantang River in front, if you throw a bag in it, you will never be able to find it again. Come on. Speaking of which, what kind of oil and water can be corrupted here?"

"Mr. Hao really lives in the city." Gou Chengxuan flattered him nondescriptly.

"What kind of hermit am I? I'm just an ordinary mechanic. I happen to know a few words, but I'm not blind. I have read a few books, so I can understand the truth." Hao Yuan smiled lightly, "I just can't read Master Zhao, who is used to treating the poor as dung, who plays with people like clouds and rain, has to be taught a lesson."

Gou Chengxuan and Cao Guangjiu laughed a few times, but they didn't dare to argue. This Hao Yuan seemed to have an innate demeanor of a strong man, which made them two "bachelors" feel awe.

"My master wants to know: when is Mr. Hao going to show Mr. Zhao a good look?" Gou Chengxuan asked.

"Now let's discredit Mr. Zhao first." Hao Yuan's smile was fleeting, and he pointed his finger at the table and said, "In less than half a month, it will be the July and a half Hungry Ghost Festival. July and a half is a ghost On this festival, we have to sacrifice ancestors and ghosts—there have been too many ghosts in hell in the past few years, so it’s just time for Master Zhao to shed some blood to calm the anger of those resentful souls.”

Hao Yuan went on to say: "July and a half is an interesting day. Ghost Festival. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva appears, the gates of hell are opened, and lonely souls and wild ghosts are released. River lanterns are set and flame mouths are used. We also give lonely souls and wild ghosts The ghosts come to ask for justice! Since we want to release river lanterns, let’s make a big one, make it a hundred thousand river lanterns, and float it directly to the pier of Phoenix Villa. Then set up a dojo at the entrance of the villa, and put a big one. The mouth of the flames, the living and the dead, those who have grievances take revenge, and those who have vengeance take revenge."

"Dojo? Who wants to be this dojo—this is the gate of Phoenix Mountain Villa. He is now considered a well-known gentry in the provincial capital. Ordinary monks would not dare."

"As long as you spend money, are you afraid that you won't find a monk who is willing to do it? At worst, find a wild monk to do it!" Gou Chengxuan slapped his thigh.

"Hehe, ordinary monks don't dare, so there are naturally extraordinary monks." Hao Yuan said with confidence, "Why do you need to find wild monks? If you want to find a famous monk, you have to find a famous monk, so that you can show that Master Zhao shares the wrath of man and god—Master Zhao Isn't it fun to slip through the Cross Church? Do you remember the lesson plan from last year?"

Gou Chengxuan and Cao Guangjiu nodded at the same time, this Hao Yuan thought really deeply!Although the lesson case has calmed down, the hostility towards Christianity has not been resolved.Although Zhao Yingong did not openly teach, but he often went to and from the church, and it was common knowledge that he had a close relationship with Christian gentry.As long as they are properly guided, monks' hatred of Christianity can easily be transferred to Zhao Yingong.

"Mr. Hao, you are really exhaustive..." Cao Guangjiu complimented from the bottom of his heart.

"An enemy's enemy is a friend." Hao Yuan said, "Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if they are willing to stand out? I'm afraid Zhang Guangtian would still be grateful to us."

He also added that the collusion between Zhao Yingong and the Christian foreign monks should be specifically mentioned in the post, implying that there are people practicing "Western magic" in the Phoenix Villa.

"I want to specifically mention that he colluded with foreign monks and played with Western evil methods-that's why there are so many new gadgets. Don't forget that many of the things he sells are Australian products! Who can explain the origin of Australian products? A reminder to all the scholars and people in the city."

"Tall, really tall!" Gou Chengxuan was already full of hatred for the gangster, and hearing him mention it just fits his wishes, "I'm not a brother, I'm talking too much, I see Master Zhao as a fake gangster! "

"Hehe, it doesn't matter whether he is a thief or not." Hao Yuan smiled lightly, "As long as the reputation of the so-called Australians is stigmatized, it will not be so easy for them to deceive the common people with the trick of being a ghost and a doctor in the future. Let the common people see their true colors clearly! Otherwise, if one Zhao Yingong is driven away, there will be Liu Yingong and Wang Yingong."

Gou Chengxuan and Cao Guangjiu seemed to understand, but they didn't ask too much.One is full of hatred for the thieves, and the other is doing things with money, and is not interested in other things at all.

Hao Yuan said again: "However, don't refer to the gentry in the post. What we have to deal with is Zhao Yingong. Don't increase the number of enemies casually."

"Okay, let's do it like this!" Gou Chengxuan exclaimed, "I'll send someone to do it after I go back and report to my boss!"

Cao Guangjiu also said that he would prepare enough manpower to distribute the posters, spread rumors, and then incite the people to make trouble.

"Where's Wanbi Bookstore?" Gou Chengxuan suddenly remembered.

"Wanbi Bookstore is in the city, not to mention gathering thousands of people, even if two or three hundred people walk on the street in a group, the yamen will be tense, and someone will come out to suppress the situation immediately." Know the difference between inside and outside the city.Thousands and hundreds of people fought with weapons outside the city, and the magistrates did not come out to deal with it until the fight was over.

Hao Yuan said: "Old Cao is right. We can't do this to disgrace the government too much. There is too much noise in the city. It's nothing to go out of the city gate. Besides, Zhao Yingong's two strongholds in Hangzhou, Fenghuang Villa It’s the most important thing, if this place is abolished, he won’t be able to breathe for at least half a year. With this gap, we’ll take care of him slowly.”

Now we talked about the details of the specific arrangements. Since it is only the sixth month of the lunar calendar, there is still a month to go.
Cao Guangjiu and Gou Chengxuan were quietly escorted out of here until the three drums at night - there is no place to live here, even if they are there, they can't live here.

After sending the two away, Hao Yuan stretched his waist and sat on the bed.He didn't want to sleep at all, his eyes were bright, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

At this moment, a corner of the curtain made of straw was carefully opened, revealing a clean-shaven child, about eleven or twelve years old, holding a large bowl with a broken mouth, in which were several pieces of rice. Hot multigrain cake.

"Uncle Hao, you've been busy until midnight again. This is what my mother told me to bring you a supper."

"Your family is not well-off. This cake is the dry food that your father brought when he went out to do business tomorrow. I ate it. What will your father eat tomorrow? Take it back——I'm not hungry."

"There are cakes, and it's not a rare thing - there are not many people who eat them." The child laughed, a little bit bright-eyed, coupled with a slender face and a pointed chin--it turned out to be a girl .He was really good-looking, but his face was blue and gray, and his cheeks were sunken.

"It's not for people to eat, so you can't eat enough." Hao Yuan smiled slightly, "Uncle Hao can eat enough for himself, and he won't have to work tomorrow. You should take it home. Food is so expensive now, you Parents are not in good health, it would be good to eat more."

"Father's life and I were saved by you—if it wasn't for you, I would have to be sold as a girl. You don't want to eat a piece of rice cake, because you want to force us to live forever in our hearts." said the girl.

"I didn't save people for the sake of getting something back." Hao Yuan smiled.

"I know, you are doing good deeds." The girl said, "You can come to us if you want to pay back?" She said and stuffed the rice cake into Hao Yuan's hand, "Eat it, eat it. Eat it, Our hearts are also at ease. This is what our family is willing to do—I want to cook you a bowl of lotus root powder balls, but I can't." She sighed.

Hao Yuan had no choice but to take a bite. The miscellaneous grain cake was black and mushy, and it was said to be miscellaneous grains. It was mainly rice bran, mixed with bean dregs and miscellaneous grains.It is difficult to chew and swallow, and there is an indescribable musty and sour taste in the mouth.

But it is this thing that not every household in Nanxiawa can use to fill their stomachs.The little girl's father is in a small business, specializing in snacks such as lotus root flour balls and red bean paste, and he can barely make ends meet.

The little girl clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Uncle Hao, you really don't come from a poor family. If we want to eat this food, we will eat it in three or two bites."

Hao Yuan patted her bald head: "If I am rich, can I live here?"

"Maybe your family used to be rich."

Hao Yuan laughed: "Once upon a time..." His smile became deep and confused.

"I'm right." The girl clapped her hands.In fact, "Mr. Hao" may be the son of a rich family, and it is the "consensus" of the residents of Nanxiawa that he fell here after being defeated, but no one has ever said that in front of him-everyone thinks it is "Mr. Hao" Sad thing.

"I wasn't rich in the past." Hao Yuan came back to his senses and concealed a smile, "You are a girl, it's not good to stay with me in the middle of the night for a long time. Go back quickly."

"Which brand name am I?" The little girl laughed, "Is there anyone here who cares about this? Maybe one day I will take it out and sell it. If it wasn't for Uncle Hao's help last time, I wouldn't know In which house did he suffer! Bao Buqi has already been beaten to death."

Hao Yuan took another bite of the multigrain cake and said, "What's there to say? I just have some money. If I don't have that much money, what good is my heart?"

"So it's my luck—Uncle Hao, you are my lucky star, no, you are our lucky star in Nanxiawa..."
