The morning sun slowly rose, and those working for their livelihood began to get busy. The originally empty and quiet streets gradually showed the pace of pedestrians, and the shops that were deserted for a night slowly became lively.

At this time, in a room at Yangzhou Prefecture Station, Liu Hua was standing on the bed, holding a feather duster in his hand, waving back and forth in the air, talking about Jin Dada's "Smiling Proud Wanderer" with his mouth.

When he talked about the plot of Linghu Chong making a bet with Tian Boguang in the restaurant, he saw Hao Yinxiang and Sun Shidong listening with all his faces devotedly. Seeing Hao Yinxiang getting addicted again, he did something very inauthentic.

I saw Liu Hua knocking the feather duster in his hand on the table with a "splash...", then he pulled a long voice in his mouth and said, "Two listeners, if you want to know what happens next, let's listen to us, reply, break up, and solve it."

After saying this, Liu Hua walked out of bed, took a sip of water, and then came to Hao Yinxiang with a sincere look on his face: "This is all about "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer". Brother Hao, you still have something to do today, so I won't keep you anymore. If you have time, you are welcome to visit Yangzhou again."

Hao Yinxiang was addicted to hearing it, but he didn't expect that Liu Hua would order to expel guests in a blink of an eye. Seeing that it was getting late, he was anxious to go back to Zhili, and wanted to know the result of Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang's bet.

After thinking for a while, Hao Yinxiang said to Liu Hua: "You kid is so unauthentic. You have hooked up my "listening addiction" but you will not tell your story. But I feel very itchy now, and I wish I could know the subsequent plot immediately.

Let’s do this, how about I hiring you? Later, you go to Zhili with me, and then you will tell me about this "Swordsman". After you finish speaking, I will reward you with 500 taels of silver. How about it?"

"Is five hundred taels a little less? Or are you going to increase a little?" Liu Hua was actually very happy when he heard that he could still earn five hundred taels, but he was worried that if he showed a very satisfied look, Hao Yinxiang would regret it, so he deliberately bargained with Hao Yinxiang.

Hao Yinyin looked at Liu Hua helplessly: "You still think the five hundred taels of silver are too little? You still want me to give you a little increase. OK, tell me, how much does it increase?"

"How about five thousand taels?" Liu Hua casually said a number by adhering to the idea of ​​asking for a price everywhere. But unexpectedly, after hearing this, Hao Yinxiang turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"No...you...you...don't leave. If you have something to do, let's discuss it slowly." Seeing that his big customer was scared away, Liu Hua hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Hao Yinxiang: "I'm just kidding, wanting to adjust the tense atmosphere, why are you still angry?"

"Just? If I don't leave, your joke will probably become a reality." After complaining in dissatisfaction, Hao Yin said with a little depressed voice: "Brother, do you think all the money I have on me is free? It's only 5,000 taels of money that you really don't treat yourself as an outsider."

"Didn't I say it just now? Joke, this is just a joke, haha... Let's follow the price you mentioned before, 500 taels of silver, no one is allowed to change it. I will arrange the work at hand and go to Zhili with you."

After saying that, Liu Hua put all the coins on the table back into the sack. He asked Sun Shidong to go to the City God Temple for a while and return the silver to the people who gave yesterday. Then he asked Sun Shidong to continue to tell the plot of the later "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to everyone on his behalf.

Sun Shidong has heard the plot after "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" last night, and he can tell the plot to everyone. Sun Shidong will tell the story to everyone on his behalf, which can be considered an explanation to those listeners.

After arranging this matter, Liu Hua put the silver notes that Hao Yinxiang gave him to Sun Shidong and asked Sun Shidong to send them to Rumu. With this money, after Rumu prepared the decoration materials, he could go to Wu's house to decorate.

Neither Liu Hua nor Sun Shidong noticed that when Liu Hua talked about Wu's house, Hao Yinxiang next to him looked at him, and he turned his eyes toward Liu Hua with great meaning.

Sun Shidong looked at the silver notes in his hand and drooled, saying, "Brother Liu, if you keep so much money here, aren't you afraid that I will run away with it with this money? This is more than 500 taels of silver."

"How much money is this? Brother, sooner or later, my brother will let all the money from the Qing Dynasty come to us. Compared with that money, what is this mere five hundred taels of silver?"

After saying this passionate words, Liu Hua stared at Sun Shidong with some concern: "Boy, I know where your home lives. If you dare to run away with my money, I will leave you when I come back."

After instructing Sun Shidong, Liu Hua looked around the room, went out to say hello to the postmaster at the post station, paid all the accommodation costs in the past few days, and then left with Hao Yinxiang.

Not long after Liu Hua and Hao Yinxiang left, Sun Shidong also left the station with his feather duster when Liu Hua was telling stories in one hand and a sack with coins in the other.

On the official road leading to Zhili in Yangzhou, Liu Hua and Hao Yinxiang rode a horse together. The two sat on the horse's back, chatting together. When Hao Yinxiang learned that the reason why Liu Hua came out to say a letter was to make money to repair Wu's house, he couldn't help asking:

"The Wu House you mentioned is Wu Shiyun's house fifteen years ago? I heard in the early stage that the house was haunted and the ghosts inside came back to take revenge. Not only were there crying of female ghosts late at night, but there were even evil ghosts who killed seventeen yamen runners. How could you still dare to move in such a haunted house?"

After hearing this, Liu Hua looked at Hao Yin in surprise: "Huh? You know very detailed? Yes, there were indeed more than a dozen yamen runners who were killed in Wu's house some time ago. However, it was not a ghost killing, but a man-made thing. This is the case."

Next, Liu Hua told Hao Yinyin the whole story. After the talk, he said with some depression: "After the case was solved, I asked Lord Nian for this Wu house, but it has been abandoned for too long and must be renovated before it can be lived in.

But unexpectedly, if I wanted to repair the Wu house, it would cost more than 1,300 taels of silver. Where did I get so much money? Although I am a ninth-rank official, my position is really light, with no office space, no specific division of labor, and even no salary. I have to pay for it myself when I eat and drink water.

In desperation, I had to build a shed in the City God Temple, and then tell the stories I had in my mind one by one, making some money with this, otherwise I would starve to death sooner or later."

After hearing what happened, Hao Yinyin nodded thoughtfully, and then said softly: "So that's the case? I didn't expect that so many things happened during my time of leaving. Zeng Jing? Hu Yingzhong? Entrust all over? Haha... It seems that the East Palace is about to be in chaos."
