Chapter 143 Profiteers
At that time, Tong Huanyou went to the pawnshop, selected some maids and servants who were good at working, bought them, and brought them into the mansion.
After giving a few simple instructions, he arranged their accommodation.
Then he left the house and wandered alone in the bustling streets of Suzhou.
Holding a bag of chestnuts he had just bought in his hand, he would take one out from time to time and gently put it into his mouth.
The sweet taste spread in her mouth, making the corners of her mouth rise unconsciously.
The shops on both sides of the street are full of goods and the sounds of hawking can be heard one after another.
Just as she was passing by an alley.
"Girl, please stay."
A clear and elegant female voice sounded slowly, like a breeze blowing past your ears.
Tong Huanyou turned around when he heard the voice.
A woman wearing a silver mask came into view.
She was dressed in plain white clothes, leisurely waving a folding fan in her hand. The ink-and-wash landscape on the fan exuded a poetic charm.
Looking down again, there was a wooden table in front of the woman.
It was covered with a piece of velvet cloth, on which were neatly placed a few tortoise shells, a few yellowed ancient books and a few bamboo sticks.
Tong Huanyou shook the chestnut in his hand and looked at the woman carefully.
I always feel that this person looks very familiar.
She asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"
The woman closed the folding fan in her hand gently, tapped the table twice, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"I see that the girl's eyes are dark and her brows are filled with worry. I'm afraid something big will happen in the near future."
"Why don't you let me tell you a fortune for you, so that you can turn misfortune into fortune in the future?"
Tong Huanyou was stunned and uttered three words: "I am poor."
I have no money, don't lie to me.
The smile on the woman's face froze for two seconds, and then she blurted out two words: "Free."
"duang" Tong Huanyou's little hand decisively placed on the table.
"It's free, why didn't you tell me earlier~ Oops."
The woman's lips twitched twice, and then her fingers gently stroked the lines on Tong Huanyou's palm for a moment.
Then, he picked up the tortoise shell on the table, put four copper coins in it, and shook it gently in his hand.
The copper coins collided with each other, making a crisp and pleasant sound, which was particularly clear in this noisy street.
Then she turned the tortoise shell upside down on the table, and three copper coins fell onto the table.
She carefully observed the patterns and arrangement of the coins.
After some operations, the woman raised her head slightly and said:
"Looking at this hexagram, what the girl is thinking about is like looking at flowers in the fog or the moon in the water. The road ahead is foggy and full of twists and turns. I advise the girl to think carefully and avoid getting into trouble."
Tong Huanyou withdrew his hand and said bewilderedly: "Can we say something that people can understand?"
"Hmm..." The woman hesitated to speak, her expression showing a hint of helplessness.
"What the girl wants to accomplish may be a little difficult. If you encounter a big problem in the future, you must consider it carefully."
"Oh~" Tong Huanyou seemed to understand but not quite, his eyes were still full of confusion.
Just as he was about to stand up, clapped his hands and left.
"Hey... girl, you haven't paid me for the palm reading yet~"
Tong Huanyou was shocked, his eyes widened: "What? Isn't it free?"
"Of course the tortoise shell fortune-telling is free, but the palm reading is not. It costs ten cents in total." The woman said with a smile.
There was a hint of shrewdness in his eyes.
"Damn it! You profiteer..."
However, the words were not finished yet.
At that moment, suddenly, several burly men came over from somewhere and surrounded her and her in an instant.
They all have strong backs and bulging muscles.
Tong Huanyou's heart skipped a beat, his lips trembled slightly, and his voice came out first: "Is it that serious? You still want to hire a thug..."
The woman seemed a little embarrassed and quickly waved her hands, saying, "This is not my invitation."
As they were talking, a steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from behind the burly men.
Then, a Taoist priest wearing a Bagua robe walked out slowly.
He looked at the woman in white with a bit of covetousness in his eyes: "Young lady, instead of setting up a stall here to tell fortunes, why don't you join my Wang's Feng Shui business?"
The woman in white smiled slightly when she heard this: "I am used to traveling alone in the martial arts world. I am afraid that I will disappoint the Taoist master's kindness."
The Taoist's face darkened, and his words were somewhat threatening. He said:
"Young lady, please don't be ungrateful. My Wang's Feng Shui business is not open to anyone who wants to enter. It is your blessing that you are impressed by my ability."
The woman in white looked calm and unmoved: "I really can't stand being restricted."
The Taoist priest's face became uglier, and he snorted coldly: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as the words fell, the thugs rubbed their hands and rushed forward, ready to make the woman pay for her crime.
Passersby around avoided the scene and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
Seeing this, Tong Huanyou stepped forward and advised: "Well, if she doesn't want to go, forget it~"
His eyes nervously shifted back and forth between the Taoist priest and the woman.
The Taoist priest glanced at her with contempt in his eyes.
"It's none of your business. If you want to leave, leave now. Don't you see whose territory Sujing belongs to? You are trying to steal the feng shui fortune-telling business from my Wang family."
Tong Huanyou looked at the woman and thought to himself: So she is stealing someone else's business~
The woman did not answer, but looked indifferently at the thugs who had trapped her. Her eyes were cold and fearless.
Tong Huanyou was originally struggling to decide whether to be a hero and save the beauty, but when he saw the thug's big muscles, he couldn't help but shiver.
It felt like I could kill her with one punch.
So she thought of retreating first and then reporting to the authorities.
Just when she was about to run away.
The woman suddenly said, "You go first. I'll give you the money later. We'll set up a stall at the alley ahead tomorrow."
What the hell? ! ! !
Tong Huanyou was stunned, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest hurriedly shouted, "So you two are in the same group! Stop her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the thugs immediately took a few steps forward and blocked Tong Huanyou in a menacing manner.
Tong Huanyou quickly waved his hands to explain, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead: "I don't know her!"
The woman also said sincerely: "Yes, I don't know her, please let her go."
Tong Huanyou widened his eyes, turned his head and cursed inwardly: "You profiteer..."
The thugs ignored her and continued to stare at her hungrily.
The Taoist priest angrily scolded: "Why would she give you money if she didn't know you?"
Tong Huanyou swallowed twice, his voice trembling: "Really, I was just passing by..."
The Taoist glared at her and yelled, "Do you really think I'm easy to fool?"
Seeing that the men didn't want to listen to her explanation at all, they rushed forward and tried to arrest her and the woman without saying anything.
Tong Huanyou thought quickly and asked, "Um! Siduopu! Excuse me, what are the benefits of joining Wang's Fengshui?"
Upon hearing this, the Taoist raised his hand to stop the thugs. He looked Tong Huanyou up and down and said disdainfully:
"Of course there are many benefits, including Taoist secrets and cultivation formations."
Tong Huanyou quickly poked the woman with his arm and whispered, "You don't want to go with so many benefits?"
The woman still had a professional fake smile on her face and said in a cold voice: "I won't make as much as I would if I set up a stall by myself."
Tong Huanyou shut up and silently gave a thumbs up in his heart.
It makes sense, and it’s hard not to agree.
