Chapter 64: guild

Views:

The fortune teller blushed at the moment, looking a little embarrassed.

"To be honest, Master, his old man is unpredictable. As for his surname? What is his name? I really don't know. I just learned a little from him, and he passed away shortly after I became a teacher."

Speaking of this, the man couldn't help sighing slightly, feeling rather regretful.

"I have heard about this. The storyteller in the teahouse has said it many times. That old gentleman is really a god in the world! But after this incident, I heard that it disappeared, and no one knows its origin! "

Yu Renxia nodded slightly and couldn't help but add a few words.

In Journey to the West, this person was clearly named Yuan Shoucheng, the uncle of the Tang Warlock Yuan Tiangang, and now there are legends about him in this world, which shows that this is undoubtedly a mythical world.

If Wang Yan had doubts before, then at this moment, all the doubts in his heart were completely resolved.

"That's natural, my master's deeds are far more than that! Although the three-day death calamity of this husband has passed, there will still be calamities in the next few days. Two silvers, I have my own way to help you eliminate disasters and solve problems."

Having been recognized by the other party, that person couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Fifty taels? Wasn't it thirty taels before? You're raising the price on the ground."

Yu Renxia was a little angry after hearing this.

"Before, I predicted that you would suffer disaster within three days. You didn't give me the hexagram silver at that time. Now you want me to help you. Naturally, the price is not the same. For you to be safe in the future, it is already a little!"

Yu Renxia looked sad, turned to look at Wang Yan next to him, and wanted to see what his opinion was.

"If Mr. really has the ability to eliminate disasters and solve problems, fifty taels of silver is not too expensive! Brother-in-law, for the sake of your own safety, if you lose money and avoid disasters, you can save money and avoid disasters!"

Wang Yan pondered for a long time, and although he was still a little skeptical, he finally decided to gamble.

After all, it is impossible for him to protect his brother-in-law all his life. If something goes wrong at that time, it cannot be saved by these dozens of taels of silver.

Now that there is an easy way to fix it, why not try it

Besides, he didn't get the money anyway.

Wang Yan agreed, and Yu Renxia naturally had no objection.

As the saying goes, I would rather believe what it has than not believe it, and now I can only sigh and admit that I am unlucky, and then I took out a large ingot of silver from the purse and handed it to the fortune teller on the opposite side.

After taking the silver, the man laughed almost from ear to ear.

He quickly put the silver in his arms, then picked up the tortoise shell and shook it.

The copper coins were placed on the table, and the people lined up one by one, carefully studying the hexagrams, and after a while, he took out a compass from the booth and fiddled with the hexagrams.

"According to the hexagrams, there are two suggestions here. First, the husband packs his bags overnight and travels to a foreign country to solve the disaster!"

"Secondly, the hexagram shows that in the next four days, Xianggong will avoid invitations, banquets, and at the same time guard against villains. The direction of the source of the disaster is the northwest, and the scope will not exceed the county seat. The two may allow From now on, as long as you spend these four days safely, your life in the future will be smooth and smooth, and you will even have great achievements!"

After the fortune teller finished speaking, he carefully put away the compass.

"I can only reveal so much at the moment. As for what to do, I believe the two of you know better than me."

With just a few words, fifty taels of silver were gone.

Yu Renxia has a feeling of being fooled, and his heart aches.

"Life isn't easy these days! Like other fortune-tellers, they shout everywhere in the streets and alleys. If you count a day's divination, you can eat a full day. I'm different. In the next three years, I will not work for three years, but I will work and eat for three years!"

After talking to himself, the man suddenly turned towards Wang Yan again.

"I see that this little friend is full of immortal energy and has an extraordinary origin. He is really a dragon and a phoenix among people. Would you like to help you figure it out? I will give you a discount and only charge you five silver?"

Wang Yan glanced at him and smiled coldly.

"I don't believe in fate!"

The gentleman waved his hand when he heard the words, looking a little scornful.

"At will! At will!"

As soon as Wang Yan and Ren Xia left, the fortune teller immediately cleaned up the stall, as if he was afraid that they would go back on it, and ran away immediately.

On the way, Yu Renxia was upset and frowning because of this.

"Brother-in-law, no matter whether what the fortune teller said is true or false, for the sake of safety, I think you might as well pack your things and take Sixth Sister out as soon as possible to escape for a while."

Wang Yan looked at him and gave his advice.

They are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and they don't know the details of the other party, and they don't know anything about their strength, but from the perspective of the three spellcasting levels, they are obviously not general.

Although he has the ability to protect himself, he is not invincible in the world, and he is not necessarily foolproof, so his idea is that if he can not take this risk, he will try his best not to take this risk.

"Alas! If it were in the past, it would be fine for me to go out to avoid disasters, but..."

Yu Renxia hesitated, as if there was some difficulty.

"Four days later, it will be the inspection meeting of the county's guild. At that time, the head of the county will be present. As a supervisor of the guild, I am in charge of many commercial affairs in this county. If I can't attend, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end the meeting , maybe the entire guild will suffer."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan nodded thoughtfully.

The so-called guild, that is, the chamber of commerce, is a group organization composed of non-governmental businessmen according to law. There are basically such guilds in every state and every county. They control the economic lifeline of a city and promote business prosperity as the main purpose.

As long as they are businessmen in the field, they must be listed in the guild and obey the arrangements, so as to facilitate the orderly development of industry and commerce, and at the same time, they can protect their own rights and interests.

After this dynasty's New Deal, some of the government's industries will be contracted to them, and the relationships involved are extremely complicated.

Compared with ordinary people, they cannot be generalized.

In order to prevent someone from evading taxes, or secretly operating any illegitimate business, or even stealing official salaries, every once in a while, the county chief clerk will send people to inspect the accounts, and sometimes even appear in person. .

At the inspection meeting four days later, they received news that the county chief clerk would come in person, and all personnel must attend at that time.

It is precisely because of this that Yu Renxia is so distressed.

"Is this inspection conference really so important? Do you have to go?"

Although he didn't know much about this, seeing his demeanor, Wang Yan had some guesses in his heart.

"This conference is very unusual, especially the new batch of shipbuilders. I need to come out and provide proof. If I don't go, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion. If it is used by some people with intentions, it will be even worse A major disaster. How can I have the heart to let the family business that my ancestors worked so hard to destroy in my hands? How can I let all the guild suffer because of me?"

Yu Renxia was full of helplessness, kept his head low, and walked slowly.

"Since this conference is so important, you have to go, but it doesn't matter. The big deal is that I have been following you for the past few days, and I will be a personal guard for my brother-in-law. If something happens, I can take care of it as soon as possible. "

Wang Yan thought for a moment and gave him a reassurance.

"It's troublesome for the seventh! Sigh... I never thought that I had been kind to people in Ren Xia's whole life, but in the end, I had to be so reckless. It's really impermanent!"
