Macheng.
This is a big city very close to Renjia Town. Although it is not a provincial capital, this place is located in the south and next to a big river, with well-developed waterways.
Relying on water for its livelihood, Macheng has become a prosperous city second only to the provincial capital.
Some of them are businessmen, and some are rich people!
However, the richest among the many rich people is the wealthy family in Macheng - the Huang family.
Speaking of which, the Huang family's rise to fame is particularly legendary. Their ancestor was a Feng Shui master, a well-known Feng Shui master in Macheng. He made a lot of money by reading Feng Shui for people.
This is the cost.
This Feng Shui master is not only good at Feng Shui, but he is also an expert at doing business. He doesn't know anything about business, but all he can say is one word: smooth sailing!
No matter what business he does, he can always make a lot of money by chance!
After the Feng Shui master's hard work, the Huang family became a wealthy family. However, not many years later, the Feng Shui master died.
At that time, people in Macheng were talking about it a lot, waiting to see a joke, but they didn't expect that the Feng Shui master's descendants would be more successful and luckier than each other.
In just a few decades, the Huang family had gained control of both the black and white worlds, established the Huang Family Chamber of Commerce, controlled the entire economic transactions of Macheng, and even controlled the entire government of Macheng.
Some people with bad intentions directly called the Huang family the local emperors of Macheng!
The local authorities dared not speak out because the Huang family controlled the entire Macheng. There were Huang family members everywhere, and their business was spread all over the world. In addition to Macheng, half of the provincial capital also belonged to the Huang family!
However, three generations of the Huang family have always been very low-key and never bullied men or women. Some discerning people speculated that the Huang family seemed to have been planning something, but no one could guess for sure.
It would be strange not to enjoy the wealth and glory.
"Brother, are you sure it's his house?"
In a restaurant, Si Mu looked through the window at the two stone lions in front of the Huang family's door, and couldn't help but gasp.
The stone lion was as tall as a human being and looked imposing. It was carved from the finest stone and was shrouded in fragrance, showing that it had been worshipped with many offerings.
He is so intimidating that ordinary ghosts would not even think of coming to his house but would take a detour when they see him.
Those who harbor evil intentions will be directly timid.
Simu was certainly not afraid of the two stone lions. Firstly, he had no evil intentions, and secondly, he was not a heretic who used evil methods to harm people, so naturally he was not afraid.
He was worried about the Huang family behind the stone lions. The fact that they were able to obtain this pair of stone lions proved that the Huang family was quite powerful. It was possible that these stone lions had once been in front of the royal family.
In the past, if anyone dared to place this pair of stone lions at the door, the government would chop off nine heads.
Although the supervision is looser now, this stone lion is not something that ordinary people can afford to display. It must be at least owned by powerful and wealthy families!
The four eyes looked solemn.
“Eat first!”
Uncle Jiu tapped the plates on the table with his chopsticks and said, "The food at Juxianglou is pretty good. You can tell at a glance that the chef is a great chef!"
Russell also nodded. Uncle Jiu only knew that it tasted good, but he could taste some of the secrets that made it, which were not something ordinary people could make.
But then again, how could one open such a big restaurant in Macheng without any special skills
Simu looked at the master and disciple who were eating heartily, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch a little, "Brother, you really have the mind to eat?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Huang family's business is going smoothly because their ancestors were buried in a Feng Shui treasure land. Now, the silver-armored corpse lives in the Huang family!"
He sat down on the chair with a depressed look on his face, "This is like beating someone's ancestors, and it will cut off the Huang family's financial resources!"
There are three major hatreds among people:
Throwing graves and digging graves.
Kill the son and take the wife.
Cut off someone's source of income.
They took up two of the three.
The Huang family has been doing well for many years thanks to the silver-armored corpse, and now they have already dominated Macheng.
If the three of them rushed into the Huang family, clamoring to get rid of the corpse, they would probably be chopped into pieces by the five hundred swordsmen before they even saw the silver-armored corpse.
"Have a meal!"
Uncle Jiu gave another warning, "I have my own plans!"
Simu was still sulking. He was really unlucky. While transporting a corpse, he encountered a silver-armored corpse. Not only did he lose his client, but all his years of hard work were gone.
Not only did he not make any money, he probably even lost some money, and he got beaten up for nothing.
There is a mysterious connection between the Huang family and the Silver-Armored Corpse. Last night, Simu and the Silver-Armored Corpse had a fierce battle.
Today, the Huang family moved the silver-armored corpse away.
If Uncle Jiu hadn't mastered the art of tracking paper cranes and followed the corpse's scent, they would never have found the Huang family!
Looking at the Huang family's tight security, it is very likely that the silver-armored corpse is hidden inside the Huang family.
He looked over and saw that it was crowded with people. If anyone dared to touch the silver-armored corpse today, the Huang family would probably fight to the death.
Simu could only sulk. Although he felt sorry for his money and the zombies he had raised for so many years, he still had a firm grasp of the overall situation.
He couldn't put his senior brother and nephew in danger just to vent his anger and for a silver-armored corpse.
Simu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He couldn't help but shout, "The Huang family is really cruel. They buried his ancestors in a Feng Shui location, while they themselves are enjoying themselves outside. Ha!"
Zombies cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation, and their seven souls are trapped in their bodies by resentment. The feeling is even more cruel than lingchi!
"Be careful with your words!"
Uncle Jiu frowned. This happened in a restaurant, in public, with many people around and it would be disadvantageous to them if the Huang family heard it.
He pointed at the fish on the table with his hand, "This fish is so tender. If you don't eat it now, Russell will eat it all! And this pig's trotter, wow, it smells so good!"
Uncle Jiu, who was well versed in human nature, used only three sentences to instantly divert Simu's attention.
He immediately picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started fighting with Russell.
After being a Taoist priest for so long, can't you just enjoy yourself
Uncle Jiu smiled and shook his head, then glanced at the Huang family outside the restaurant. It was not yet dark, but the lights were on at the Huang family's house and the security was extremely tight.
He didn't notice at all that at the next table, a middle-aged man was listening to all this with his ears perked up. An expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face and his eyes were filled with surprise.
The middle-aged man held the wine glass in one hand, suppressed the shock and joy in his heart, and poured the glass of wine directly into his mouth.
The people beside him looked at his shaking hands and couldn't help but tease him, "Ren Fa, you are not doing well, are you exhausted from visiting the brothel yesterday?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table burst into laughter and started to tease the middle-aged man.
Ren Fa just smiled and said nothing. He thought of the Huang family that was all-powerful in Macheng, and the Ren family that was hiding in Renjia Town. His eyes couldn't help but flicker.
"By the way, Ren Fa, I heard that your daughter is studying in the provincial capital. Has she found a husband?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
Ren Fa said, "Tingting has only been there for a year. It will take at least three years to complete the course. It's too early for you to make such an idea!"
Everyone burst into laughter and continued drinking, but Ren Fa turned his head calmly and memorized Uncle Jiu's back in his mind.
Macheng Huang family, Macheng Ren family.
