"You said these pearls were given to you by a monster. What happened?" Li Gongfu asked nervously.

Jiang Hao had already thought of his words before coming.

"Half a month ago, I went to see the Qianjiang tide with my friends. The tide came and set off a wave. A carp was photographed ashore. I picked up the fish when I saw it. My friend laughed and said it was a delicious food delivered to his door, and he asked me to take it home.

You stewed it and ate it, but I didn’t agree and just put the carp back into the river and released it.”

"But I never thought that an old man came into my dream yesterday. The old man said that he was the carp. He was washed up by the waves that day to save his life. I saved his life. He thanked me for sending me the property, etc.

When I woke up, there was this bag of pearls beside my bed."

Li Gongfu was shocked when he heard this.

"The fish demon, entrusting you with dreams, thanking you, and giving you treasures."

"I've heard of magical things before. I've seen a few weird things as a head hunter, but I've never really come into contact with monsters. I didn't expect that Hanwen would have such a strange encounter."

Jiang Haodao: "Brother-in-law, you are familiar with things on the street. I am afraid of being cheated, so I asked my brother-in-law to help me sell these pearls for money."

Being praised by his brother-in-law, Li Gongfu felt slightly proud and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I know the shopkeeper of Ruixiang Tower. He didn't dare to cheat me after selling these pearls."

"But these pearls should be sold for a lot of money. What does Hanwen plan to use the money for?" Li Gongfu asked.

"I already have a plan in my mind. I plan to buy a house first so that I can have a place to live. I am now studying medicine and want to open a medical clinic in the future. I also want my brother-in-law to help me find a store suitable for opening a medical clinic."

Jiang Haodao.

Li Gongfu nodded happily, "Han Wen's plans are very pragmatic. You really need a house to settle down in. You are already a grown man. Having a house will give you a wife. I will find a matchmaker to arrange it later."

"As for opening a medical clinic, it's also very good. I'll help you find the front room. I'm very familiar with the people in the dental clinic. No one dares to lie to me. I will always find the right one for you." Li Gongfu promised, patting his chest.

.

He is the head catcher, and he is most familiar with things on the street. Among the people on the street, such as car and boat shops, footmen and teeth, no one dares to cheat him casually.

Jiang Hao returned to the academy and continued to be his teacher. Li Gongfu put the pearl in his arms, spoke to his detectives, and soon came to Ruixiang Building, the largest jewelry building in Qiantang.

When the shopkeeper saw Li Gongfu coming in, he smiled and said hello, "Captain Li, why are you free to come to Ruixiang Building today? Is there some announcement from the officials?"

"Shopkeeper Liu, this is a private matter." Li Gongfu said.

"Private matter? Do you want to buy jewelry and hairpins for your wife? If Mr. Li buys it, I will give you the cost price." Shopkeeper Liu said.

"It's said inside," Li Gongfu said.

Shopkeeper Liu didn't know why, so he invited Li Gongfu to the back room. After the curtain fell, Li Gongfu dug in his arms and took out a pearl the size of a peanut. It was white and round, of first-class quality, and handed it to shopkeeper Liu.

Li Gongfu has lived in the secular world and is familiar with people's hearts. He will not be like Jiang Hao who takes out a bag of pearls as soon as he comes up, which is too eye-catching.

Shopkeeper Liu took it, looked at the pearl, and praised: "This pearl is of good quality. It is a first-grade river pearl, weighing three cents, and it should be worth 20 taels."

Li Gongfu took out another bigger one from his pocket. Shopkeeper Liu quickly took it and said, "This one is better. It weighs about four cents and can be sold for about 50 taels."

"What about this one?" Li Gongfu took out a finger-sized one.

"Oh, this one weighs at least 5 cents and should be sold for 200 taels."

Li Gongfu was moved in his heart. He calculated the price of the house and the facade, and then touched his arms. Shopkeeper Liu looked at him and said, "Do you think you still have it?"

"certainly."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of pearls, about a dozen of them, the largest weighing only 6 cents. "They are all here, will Ruixiang Tower take them?"

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the pearls, then at Li Gongfu, and asked in a low voice: "Captain Li, where did you get these pearls?"

Li Gongfu smiled and said, "Why, I'm afraid these things are not easy to come by. It doesn't hurt to tell you. This is indeed not mine. It is the treasure of my wife's family."

"My brother-in-law is quite old and has not yet gotten married. Seeing that her sister was anxious, she took out these treasures handed down from her ancestors and planned to sell them to Hanwen to buy a house so that she could have a place to live in the future." Li Gongfu was very casual.

said.

"I didn't expect that the Xu family still has these treasures?" Shopkeeper Liu said.

"Who doesn't have enough money to save their lives?" Li Gongfu said.

"That's right." Shopkeeper Liu did not delve into this matter.

All the pearls were arranged, weighed and measured, and finally the price was calculated. A total of eighteen pearls were sold for 2,760 taels of silver, and the price of the 6-cent pearl was 350 taels.

In ancient times, it was said that Wan Guan's family was already quite wealthy. The price of good land outside Hangzhou was only more than ten taels of silver per acre. This amount of money was enough to buy two hundred acres of land.

This money is only enough to buy a house and land.

The silver was too heavy to carry. Ruixiang Building had its own silver building, so it started directly with the banknotes. Li Gongfu left with the banknotes. It was already dark, the surrounding shops were lit up, people were coming and going on the street, and the trading shops were prosperous. On the contrary,

More lively than during the day.

He did not go back to the Yamen, but came to the academy to find Jiang Hao. He entered Jiang Hao's room. Jiang Hao was reading under the lamp. Li Gongfu looked at the simple room and said, "The conditions here are too simple. It is not a place to live for a long time. You don't want to live here for a long time."

We really need a house."

"Brother-in-law, how is the matter?" Jiang Hao put down the book and asked.

Li Gongfu smiled and said, "With your brother-in-law, there is nothing that can't be done." He took out the cloth bag containing pearls from his arms.

He approached Jiang Hao and whispered: "I only sold part of it, and it was still the small ones. You, you are too careless in doing things. Those pearls as big as longan are considered treasures. Selling them casually will easily arouse people's suspicion."

"The rest are all here. They are all big pearls with a score of more than six cents. These are treasures that can be passed down from family to family. You should keep them alive and sell them later if you are really short of money."

It’s very convenient to take at any time.” He said and put a stack of banknotes on the table.

"Tomorrow, I will show you the house and its appearance. It cannot be too shabby. It must be a three-entry house. The house prices in Hangzhou are too expensive. A three-entry house is estimated to cost about 600 yuan. As for

The facade house you want, if you want the kind with a backyard, is estimated to cost 1,500 guan, which is 2,100 guan. You will have to live in the future, and you need to leave some money for expenses, so don’t look at what you have now.

These two thousand, seven hundred taels of silver do not need to be spent lavishly."

Li Gongfu told Jiang Hao one by one, with care and advice in his words. Jiang Hao could tell that Li Gongfu really cared about him.

"Okay brother-in-law, I won't spend money randomly." Jiang Hao said.

the next day,

Li Gongfu took people out for patrol and stopped by Yahang. Everyone in Yahang knew Li Gongfu, and they all bowed to say hello and shouted that Captain Li was here.

Li Gongfu asked an acquaintance to help find a suitable house, and he would probably find something soon.

...

Jiang Hao bought a house and land in Hangzhou and lived a comfortable life.

But some people are in dire straits right now.

That day, Fahai caught the spider spirit and suppressed it under the pavilion. Before leaving, he took the spider spirit's prayer beads. However, the beads still had power after leaving the spider spirit. They contained Buddhist thought power and were very pure.

Chanting Buddha beads in his hand, Fahai frowned slightly.

"Is what the spider demon said true? He has been under the shadow of the Bodhisattva and has practiced Buddhism successfully. Can the demon also achieve Buddhism?"

"Will not!"

"A demon is a demon, how can he become a Buddha?"

Fa Hai did not believe that demons could become Buddhas because this would subvert his ideas.

A look of determination flashed across his face.

Continuing to travel around, slaying demons and preaching Buddhism along the way, he came to a mountainous area one day, and suddenly a violent storm hit, and Fahai felt a strong evil spirit.

"If you have evil spirit, stop it!"

He flew into a bamboo forest.

The wind was strong, the bamboo branches were swaying wildly, and the rain was falling.

"The mighty heavenly dragon, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Bama, please open your Dharma eyes and see how you hide."

I saw two huge snake demons entrenched in the sky above the bamboo forest, one green and one white. Each body was four to five meters thick and thirty to forty feet long. They were extremely huge. The scales of the two snakes were as clear as glass, and their eyes were green.

It is dark green, but the eyes of the white snake are red.

When Fahai saw that they were two snake monsters, he immediately prepared to use the method to collect these two monsters.

suddenly,

He heard a groan of pain.

"Ah~~ah~!"

Fahai paused, looked over there, and found a beautiful village woman with naked body lying on the ground, her belly was obviously bulging.

"Woman, are you about to give birth?"

Fahai frowned, looking at the woman and then at the two snakes circling above the bamboo forest. The two snakes were flying and circling above the bamboo forest, blocking the wind and rain with their bodies.

"It turns out they are doing good things."

"Can demons also do good things?"

Fahai stared blankly at the situation in front of him.

at this time,
