Chapter 733: Chapter 738: A Scammer with Principles_1
Tan Zhenghong stifled a laugh and poured the basin of red water under the pine tree.
The pines and cypresses were evergreen all year round, their yang energy was strong and particularly suppressed extremely yin and bitterly cold things.
"I also want to set up a Feng Shui formation in the yard so we can attract good fortune and avoid disaster, and wealth will pour in," said Master Yun Xu, squinting his eyes.
In fact, setting up a Feng Shui formation only involved moving around a few stones and placing a few bowls of water to sort it out.
Once he had finished, he muttered in a trance-like voice, "Keep the incense burning continuously for three days, and blessings will come naturally."
Tan Zhenghong solemnly agreed and handed over another red envelope.
To go along with Yun Xu, he piously said, "Master, this is a small token of my appreciation. You must accept it."
"The donor’s blessings shall be boundless."
Yun Xu bowed in return but was leaping with joy in his heart.
Fourth Brother Tan and his wife were so generous—this time they even gave silver!
With this, his worth had risen once again.
Seeing that Yun Xu had the ability to catch ghosts, the onlookers all came forward one after another.
"Master, I feel like my family has been incredibly unlucky recently. Could you please take a look at my home too?"
"My husband has been ill for several days now, and the doctors couldn’t find a cure. You must save him, without him, how will our family survive!"
Yun Xu clasped his hands together, "Thank you all for your trust. Normally, as a monk, I should help you all without asking for anything in return, but after exorcising the demon today, my mind is unstable, and I fear messing up your affairs. It would be better for me to go back and rest a bit."
Hmm... he was actually thinking about Tan’s Shop’s braised meat.
Moreover, he had not inquired about these matters beforehand, acting rashly might cause issues for these people and tarnish his own reputation.
He was a swindler, but not one without principles.
Hearing Master Yun Xu say this, everyone reluctantly left. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
However, they were still calculating to personally visit Master Yun Xu’s residence tomorrow.
As long as it could really protect the peace and well-being of their families, spending more silver would be worth it...
A quarter of an hour later, Tan Zhenghong hurriedly drove an ox cart, with Yun Xu, who had changed his clothes, and they left through the back door.
"Aren’t you afraid of being recognized by others?" Tan Zhenghong joked.
If anyone saw Yun Xu now, who would still believe that he had the ability to catch ghosts?
He clearly looked like a typical ruffian!
"I have a twin brother who looks exactly like me, but he is wild and unruly and has no proper bearing. Almost everyone knows about him, having an extra identity makes things easier for me to do,"
said Yun Xu, proudly. So far, nobody had ever doubted it.
After a while, if he didn’t continue to show up like this, people would think his brother had been killed.
However, by the time they arrived, Hu’s Clan was already wrapping up for the day.
Curiously, Tan Zhenghong asked, "Sister Lan, why are you closing up so early today?"
"Today, someone booked all of our braised dishes," explained Hu’s Clan.
Now, some families in the town opted for convenience when hosting guests; they simply presented Tan’s Shop’s braised dishes on the table, and even took pride in it.
Yun Xu said with a bitter face, "Why am I so unlucky? I came here all excited, only to find there’s not a shred left."
"That’s easy; I’ll set yours aside tomorrow to be sent over to you," said Hu’s Clan, comforting him. She even considered making more braised dishes tomorrow because the boating people had started moving again, and the demand for braised food had increased significantly.
Yun Xu wasn’t in a good mood but had no other choice.
He still needed to go out and gather information; he felt there were a few businesses he could take on today.
In business, one must strike while the iron is hot, otherwise, how many people would remember him as a master ghost-catcher in a few days?
