The place Jiang Sheng mentioned is on Jingcheng West Street.
The layout of the capital is clear and organized, with the palace at the center and the moat at the end.
Outside the moat are the residences of courtiers, princes and other dignitaries. Each family has a large mansion, which constitutes another layer of ecological circle outside the palace, with strict hierarchy.
The outer layer is a square structure with the palace as the center.
Residential areas, commercial areas and night markets are clearly differentiated. Merchants are not allowed to conduct transactions in residential areas and must gather in commercial areas.
Shops need to pay a certain share of management fees every month, which is not high. They open and close the shop according to the time stipulated by the capital.
The night market and the commercial area actually overlap. In the evening, all stalls in the commercial street are closed and the night market begins. Vendors in the night market pay less management fees, which is about half of those during the day.
Business in the capital is doing well, and there are not many vacant shops.
West Street is located on the commercial street, in an inconspicuous alley.
A dilapidated shop is located here.
Jiang Sheng frowned and said, "This is the only shop that is suitable. There is a big yard at the back. It should be repairable."
Wen Niang also came as a special business consultant. She frowned when she saw the courtyard, "The courtyard is dilapidated. How long has this place been abandoned?"
Jiang Sheng clasped his hands behind his back and said, "It has been two or three years since the boss who took over this shop left after a short period of time. Several shopkeepers also fell seriously ill when they returned home. Later, it was rumored that the feng shui of this place was not good... Businessmen, you too
I know, I pay attention to these things, so this place has been put on hold, and I can’t rent it out even at half price. Boss Zhang is worried.”
Bad feng shui?
Fu Bao opened his eyes and saw a man hanging at the door of the shop.
The Hanged Man is sticking out his tongue to scare everyone.
He became even more excited when he saw a small-breasted girl with round eyes looking at him. He spit out his tongue that reached up to his chest, his eyeballs popped out, and he clawed at it with fingers like withered claws. He was wearing white clothes, which was extremely scary.
Fu Bao was not afraid, "This is not an evil ghost."
Qingying nodded, "It's true that it's not an evil ghost, it just likes to scare people. But even if it's just to scare people, hanging a ghost at the door is really not good and affects Feng Shui."
At the same time, he praised in his heart that Fu Bao was indeed his disciple, and he could tell at a glance whether the hanging person was an evil ghost.
Really talented and smart.
Fu Bao remembered that there was a blind box that she hadn't drawn yet. She pretended to sigh. She looked like a small adult and was so cute.
"It's a pity. If only I could have the tools to subdue the little devil, this shop wouldn't be scary in the future, and my fifth uncle's medical clinic would be able to open."
As soon as the system heard this, it was unambiguous and immediately reminded it.
[Host, you still have a blind box that can be opened. Do you want to try it? 】
In the system's mind, he is helping the little milk dumpling host complete the task, and also helping himself to gain points early.
He had the feeling that he was deceiving a child with candy.
But he had no idea that Fu Bao had already taken advantage of him.
Fu Bao laughed: "Of course it must be turned on!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Soul-Captivating Bell"! 】
[The soul-catching bell, a dimensional prop, period of use: long-term.]
[Ring the bell three times to tame specific ghosts for your use]
Fu Bao nodded, and soon a string of red rope appeared on his wrist. On the red rope was tied a small bell the size of a little finger.
The system reminds: "Wearing it normally is just for decoration. It will make noise if you move it casually, but it will not work. When you need to use it, you must take off the bracelet and shake it three times."
Fubao understood that the system was protecting this prop.
Fu Bao took off the bell and rang it three times.
The crisp ringing of the bell rang, and the hanged man who was proudly frightening people just now suddenly froze.
He untied the rope around his neck and climbed down.
Only then did Fu Bao see clearly that the hanged man seemed to be a young man. After he stopped being scary, he slowly returned to his original appearance, with blue skin, but he still looked like Zhou Zheng.
There was light in his eyes, and he walked to Fubao and said, "Master."
Fubao: "...Brother, I am not your master."
The Hanged Man: "Master."
The system reminds: "The host, the lonely ghost tamed by the soul-obsessing bell, will treat you as its master. They still retain their self-awareness and the attack power of fooling around. You can keep them in the bell when needed.
Summoned to protect you."
Fu Bao nodded, "Brother, come into Fu Bao's bell. Don't scare anyone."
The young man nodded. There was a glimmer in his eyes. He looked back at the front of the shop and said, "Thank you, Master. If you hadn't taken me in, I would have kept repeating the actions I did before I died."
He hanged himself in front of the shop.
"Brother, why do you want to hang yourself?"
Hatred appeared in the young man's eyes, "The man named Zhang sold the shop to me after he agreed to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other! Who knew that he made a yin and yang contract and I gave the money, but the shop is not mine and the government doesn't recognize it!"
I lost a lot of money, my family all left me, and I just couldn’t survive..."
Fu Bao understood that it was all because he was defrauded of money and couldn't survive, so he impulsively hanged himself.
Moreover, the master said that if a person kills himself, it will be difficult for him to enter reincarnation.
He will become a lonely ghost wandering the world, and he will continue to repeat his previous suicidal behavior.
No wonder this young man has been trapped here for so long.
"Fubao?"
Wen Niang called her, "Come here, this is Boss Zhang."
Boss Zhang, who had a big belly and a face full of flesh, tried to bend down humbly and humbly: "Oh, Princess Changning, I would like to say hello to you..."
Fu Bao didn't like him, so he turned to the young man and nodded, meaning that the master will help you take revenge.
The young man was so moved that his eyes were red, and Fu Bao was put into the bell behind him. Suddenly, although the shop still looked dilapidated, the gloomy atmosphere had dissipated.
"Princess?"
Boss Zhang had to bend over hard, so Little Tits Tuanzi said, "Oh, are you Boss Zhang?"
Boss Zhang secretly showed that the little girl was very arrogant, and smiled flatteringly, "Yes, the young one is Boss Zhang, the owner of this shop."
Who in the capital doesn't know that Fubao is the Jiang family's little treasure, the one who would give him all the sun in the sky.
So Boss Zhang thought that it didn’t matter if the Jiang family didn’t like this shop, he would just take down the little milk baby. If the little milk baby didn’t say a word, he would get rid of the shop!
It's better to exchange this shabby house for money than to lose it in your hands.
As he thought this, his face became even more flattering, "Princess, look at how big this shop is, and there is a big yard behind it. As long as it is tidied up, it is still very good. Take a look..."
"No, I heard someone was hanged in front of this shop."
Boss Zhang's expression changed, he broke out in a cold sweat, and he suddenly seemed to see the young man hanging at the door of the shop.
He wiped his cold sweat and couldn't speak clearly, "How, how could it be possible? Hahahaha... The princess really knows how to joke."
