Chapter 64 Guilds
The fortune teller's face turned red at this moment, looking a little embarrassed.
"To be honest, Master is unfathomable. As for what his surname is? What is his name? I really don't know. I just learned some basic knowledge from him, and soon after I became a disciple, he passed away."
Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but sigh slightly, feeling quite regretful.
"I have heard of this. I have said it a lot about the storytellers in the teahouse. That old man is a god! But after this incident, I disappeared after hearing it, and no one knows its origin!"
Yu Renxia nodded slightly and couldn't help but add a few words.
During Journey to the West, this person was clearly named Yuan Shoucheng, who was the uncle of Yuan Tiangang, a sorcerer of the Tang Dynasty. Now there are legends about him in this world. It can be seen that this is undoubtedly a mythical world.
If Wang Yan had some doubts before, then at this moment, all the doubts in his heart would be solved.
"That's natural. My master's deeds are far more than that! Although this husband has passed the three-day death disaster, he will still be plagued by disasters in the following days. If he can trust me, he will give you fifty taels of silver and he will have his own way to help you eliminate disasters and solve problems."
After getting the other party's approval, the man couldn't help but be filled with joy.
"Fifty taels? Didn't it be thirty taels before? You are starting the price."
Yu Renxia was a little angry after hearing this.
"I used to calculate that you would suffer a disaster within three days. You didn't give me the hexagram silver at that time. Now that I want me to help you, the price is naturally not the same. As the saying goes, you can avoid disaster if you lose money. Fifty taels of silver will be exchanged for you in the future, which is already a small amount!"
Yu Renxia looked worried and turned to look at Wang Yan beside him, wanting to see what he thinks.
"If you really have the ability to eliminate disasters and solve problems, fifty taels of silver will not be too expensive! My sister, for your own safety, you should avoid disasters if you lose money! "
Wang Yan pondered for a long time, but finally decided to take a gamble.
After all, he cannot protect his brother-in-law for the rest of his life. If something happens when the disaster comes, it will not be able to recover from these dozens of taels of silver.
Now that there is a simple way to solve it, why not try it?
Besides, he didn't pay the money.
Wang Yandu spoke up and suggested, but Yu Renxia naturally had no objection. He could only sigh and claim to be unlucky. He then took out a large incision of silver from his pocket and handed it to the fortune teller opposite him.
After taking the silver, the man almost couldn't stop smiling.
He quickly put the silver in his arms, then picked up the tortoise shell and started shaking it.
The copper coins fell on the table, and the man lined up one by one, carefully studying the hexagram. After a moment, he took out a compass from the stall and fiddled with it in accordance with the hexagram.
"From the hexagram, here are two suggestions. First, my husband packs his luggage overnight and goes to a foreign land, and the disaster will be resolved!"
"Second, the hexagram shows that within the next four days, my husband should avoid invitations and banquets, and at the same time, he should also beware of villains. The direction of the disaster is the northwest, and the scope will not exceed the county town. You may start from now on. As long as you spend these four days safely, your future life will be smooth and you will even achieve great success!"
After the fortune teller finished speaking, he carefully put the compass in his compass.
"I can only reveal so much now. As for what to do, I believe you know better in your heart than me."
Just a few words, fifty taels of silver were gone.
Yu Renxia felt like he was fooled and felt ache in his heart.
"Life is not easy these days! Like other fortune tellers, they shout everywhere in the streets and alleys, and they can eat a full meal all day. It's different for me. I won't start work for three years, but I'll start work for three years!"
After saying that, the man suddenly said to Wang Yan again.
"I see that this little friend is full of fairy spirit and has an extraordinary origin. He is really a dragon and phoenix among people. Should I help you calculate a fortune? I'll give you a discount, how about you only charge you five silver?"
Wang Yan glanced at him and smiled coldly.
"I don't believe in fate!"
Hearing this, the gentleman waved his hand, looking a little sneered.
"Ask! It's easy!"

As soon as Wang Yan and Renxia left, the fortune teller immediately cleaned up the stall, as if he was afraid that they would repent, and ran away immediately.
On the way, Yu Renxia was upset and frown because of this.
"Brother-in-law, if what the fortune teller said is true, I think you should pack up quickly and take your sixth sister out as soon as possible to avoid it."
Wang Yan looked at him and couldn't help but give his own suggestions.
"Oh! If it were the past, it would be okay for me to go out to avoid disaster, but..."
Yu Renxia wanted to speak but stopped, as if there was something difficult.
"Four days later, the inspection meeting of the county guild will be held. At that time, the county magistrate and chief clerk will be present. As the guild supervisor, I am in charge of many commercial affairs in the county. If I cannot participate, I am afraid it will be difficult to end, and the entire guild may suffer."
As soon as these words came out, Wang Yan nodded thoughtfully.
The so-called guild is a chamber of commerce, which is a group organized by private merchants according to the law. Every state and every county basically has such guilds. They control the economic lifeline of a city and focus on promoting commercial prosperity.
Any businessman in the field must be named in the guild and obey the arrangements so as to facilitate the orderly development of industry and commerce, and at the same time protect their own rights and interests. Otherwise, if you fight for the sake of interests, wouldn’t it be a mess?
After the new policy of this dynasty, some of the government's industries will be contracted to them, and the relationships involved are extremely complex.
Compared with ordinary people, they are naturally not generalized.
In order to prevent someone from evading taxes, or secretly running an unfair business, or even secretly corruption in official pay, the county magistrate and chief clerk would send people to inspect the accounts every once in a while, and sometimes even present in person.
At the inspection meeting four days later, they received news that the county magistrate and 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? Have you ever gone?"
Although he didn't know much about this, Wang Yan had more or less speculations in his heart when he saw his expression.
"This conference is extraordinary, especially the new batch of shipbuilding officials. I need to come out to provide proof. If I don't go, it will probably cause suspicion. If it is used by some people who are interested, it will be a disaster. How can I bear to let the family business that my ancestors have worked hard to destroy? How can I let the people in the congregation suffer because of me?"
Yu Renxia was helpless, his head was pressed down very low, and he walked slowly.
"Since this conference is so important, you must go there, but you must also ensure your safety, my father. Otherwise, I will move to your place in the next few days. If something happens, I can take care of you as soon as possible."
Wang Yan thought for a moment and gave him a reassurance.
