my relatives are a bit much

Chapter 228 Ning Caichen

"Anyway, if you collect the bill, you will be killed on the way, why not! I'll let you take advantage of it, don't accept it, don't accept it..." Shopkeeper Yunlai waved his hand like chasing flies.

The words are rough and the truth is not rough. It is really difficult for the collectors sent by Jibaozhai these years to go back alive. There are only a very small number of clever gentlemen who use fake news to deceive those who are eyeing them. Ambushing on the way, they secretly took a detour to leave Guobei County.

But once these were collected, they never came again.

No matter how much money you add, you can see the pros and cons.

"Hehe~~"

Ning Caichen chuckled and said: "Shopkeeper, stop joking, we..."

Halfway through the speech, the voice stopped abruptly.

The ledger was soaked by the rain.

The writing on the brush will melt when exposed to water, and the account book has become a black mass after being soaked in rain. How can you still not see the writing on it clearly?

Ning Caichen quickly closed the ledger, and said with an idea: "Shopkeeper, I want to see your stubs, new rules."

"New rules?"

The shopkeeper was able to open an inn in the chaotic Guobei County, where the emperor was far away from the mountains, and he had developed a pair of piercing eyes early on. Ning Caichen's face was full of guilt, and he couldn't hide it from his eyes.

"Show me."

Take away the ledger.

The shopkeeper laughed out loud after taking a look at it, then his expression changed and he shouted angrily: "What kind of account is this? It's a dark mess, what do you want me to think about it?"

"..."

Ning Caichen was speechless while holding the account book. After a moment of silence, he said, "The account book is wet. If I don't receive the account, I won't have the money to go back. Can you be accommodating?"

"I accommodate you, who accommodates me?"

The shopkeeper sneered.

With the account book, he really didn't dare to repay the debt in front of all the diners. Now the account book is wet, and Mr. Account Collector is a poor scholar who looks easy to bully.

How could he send the money out?
Pan Haodong, who was watching the show from the sidelines, saw that the shopkeeper was aggressively driving Ning Caichen away, so he stood up and said, "Shopkeeper Chen, I think you'd better be accommodating."

"Give me a reason."

Shopkeeper Chen didn't dare to say too much, he could do it in front of Ning Caichen, but he didn't dare in front of Pan Haodong.

A person who can keep two beautiful wives and a slim younger sister in Guobei County must have a good family background, and he must be cautious before figuring out the situation.

This is the experience that the shopkeeper Chen has summed up in the ten years of opening an inn in Guobei County.

"Because Ning Caichen is my cousin, and I'm someone you can't afford to mess with."

Pan Haodong stared at the shopkeeper Chen with sharp eyes. He didn't know when Yazi and Long Jiu changed into capable and strong outfits, and stood behind him in a heroic manner, like a personal female guard.

The pretty and lovely Xiao Bai was sitting on an empty table, shaking his slender legs, attracting many people's attention.

"cousin?"

Ning Caichen was puzzled and said, "Brother, you may have mistaken someone. Although my name is Ning Caichen, I don't know you."

Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Chen said sarcastically: "Look, no one knows you, why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?"

"It's normal that you don't know me, because I also figured out your identity before I knew your first name and last name..." Pan Haodong explained seriously.

Calculated?

Ning Caichen widened his eyes.

Shopkeeper Chen's body trembled, with a look of horror on his face.

This is not an ordinary world, but a place where gods, humans, and ghosts coexist. There are several incidents of monsters eating people and ghosts scaring people every month in Guobei County.

There is a Taoist priest in the north of the city, who is proficient in the Book of Changes and gossip, good at predicting good and bad luck, and is especially good at fortune-telling.

If the young man in front of him is really a Taoist priest, then he will have to consider the consequences of defaulting on his debt.

"Uh, how to prove that we are relatives?"

Ning Caichen is not an idiot, if someone says a few words, he will believe them, at least he has to produce evidence.

"This is the genealogy of my Pan family, with your aunt Pan Ning's name on it."

Pan Haodong handed out a simple and old genealogy, Ning Caichen's eyes almost popped out, he didn't even find out where the genealogy came from, and with a wave of his hand, the genealogy was there.

Could it be that my cousin is a god?
Before even looking at the family tree, Ning Caichen believed it [-]%.

Shopkeeper Chen's legs were shaking with fear. Before Pan Haodong could say anything, he took out the stub, followed the stub, took out the corresponding amount of silver, and handed it to Ning Caichen honestly.

"Mr. Ning, this is the amount of silver I borrowed from Jibaozhai in the past six months. A total of 82 taels and three cents. Please count."

"Uh, no need."

Ning Caichen took the silver in a daze, and then said to Pan Haodong: "Brother, it's not convenient here, let's find a place to talk in detail."

"Go to my house."

Pan Haodong snapped his fingers, turned around and walked out of Yunlai Inn.

Yazi and Long Jiu followed closely behind.

"Brother, wait for me."

Xiaobai hurriedly followed.

Ning Caichen was walking at the back with his luggage on his back. There was a high flow of people on the street. There were also bounty hunters who made a living by catching wanted criminals. They arrested everyone they met and compared the appearance of pedestrians with the wanted criminals on the warrant in an extremely crude manner. What is the difference.

However, these people are rough and rude, but they are a group of people who bully the weak and fear the strong. The pedestrians they arrest are all honest people.

Before Ning Caichen entered Yunlai Inn, he was bullied by two bounty hunters.

But Pan Haodong and his party have been in the city for so long, and they have never encountered them once.

Because their temperament is different from ordinary people, they don't look very easy to mess with!

It is a very abnormal chaos to have such a group of people on the street who are not engaged in production and only focus on searching for wanted criminals with knives.

Guobei County needs to make a change.

Otherwise, it will soon become a ghost town where people eat people and women dare not go out. This is the case in the second part of A Chinese Ghost Story...

A group of people entered Pan's mansion where the door plaque had been replaced. Xiaobai, who was the lowest seniority, acted as a maid, pouring tea and water for his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Ning Caichen followed Zhanguang and drank a cup of steaming hot tea.

"Cousin, your aunt's name is on page No.18..."

Pan Haodong reminded.

According to the prompt, Ning Caichen quickly found Ning Shuilian's name, and the genealogy was recorded in the vassal form of Pan Ning (Shuilian), but he didn't think there was a problem.

A little silence.

Ning Caichen closed the family tree and asked, "Cousin, is my aunt okay?"

"She, is no longer here."

Pan Haodong's tone was filled with grief.

Ning Caichen sighed: "I should have thought of it a long time ago! It's a pity that I didn't get to see my aunt for the last time and see her off. Alas... cousin, my loved one has passed away. Sadness won't help. Please keep an open mind on everything."

"You too."

Pan Haodong's face was inexplicably sad, but he was secretly smiling in his heart. Ning Caichen was really easy to deceive, so he sacrificed the props to identify relatives, and the task was completed.

Cousin is so simple.

He began to worry a little bit about how Ning Caichen would survive in this world after his group left. He had to find a way to sharpen his cousin's temperament, such cowardice was not acceptable.

"Cousin, these three are...?"

Ning Caichen asked curiously.

Pan Haodong introduced with a smile: "My wife, Yazi, Long Jiu, and the girl is Xiaobai. She is my god-sister."

"It turns out they are younger siblings, so please be rude."

"It's okay."

After a brief greeting.

Ning Caichen glanced at the sky and said, "Cousin, it's getting late. I have to find an inn to rest and come back tomorrow to catch up with you."

Pan Haodong was a little dissatisfied: "What kind of inn are you looking for? Such a big house can't accommodate your guest?"
