"Fortune Bank, well, that's it!"
After leaving the courtyard where Nie Tian's branch lived, the two stopped hiding and walked around the street in a swaggering manner. Finally, Nie Yun's eyes locked on the largest bank in Luo Shui City.
Fortune Bank is not the property of the four major families but is opened by Li Fu, a rich man next to these families.
In the previous life, the demon clan launched a massive attack, and Li Fu was the first one to betray and become a "traitor." If he hadn't leaked the secret, the four major families would not have suffered such heavy losses and wouldn't have almost completely been wiped out!
Because of this, he became the public enemy of mankind in Luo Shui City. Many people wanted to kill him and then quickly, but unfortunately, surrounded by layers of strong demons, they have never been able to succeed!
Back then, Nie Yun's strength was low and he did not participate in the assassination, but he still hated this kind of guy who was a human being but was willing to be a "traitor"!
Although Li Fu is just a serious businessman now and has never committed treason, since Nie Yun knows what happened in his previous life, how could he let him go? Naturally, he will have an operation on him!
Anyway, he has a lot of money, so if he can get some and use it, there will be no problem!
Having made a decision in his heart, Nie Yun clasped his hands behind his back and walked into the bank with an immortal-like air.
"Masters, are you here to deposit or withdraw money?" As soon as the two entered the room, a boy came to greet them.
The bank can exchange banknotes and store silver coins. It has similar functions to a bank. Visitors will naturally either deposit or withdraw money.
"Being forward and backward, the tiger leaps over the dragon, the bright hall turns dark, and four evil places are nearby. Hey, I haven't seen such a powerful haunted house for a long time!" Without answering the boy's words, Nie Yun gently stroked his beard and sighed, there was compassion in his eyes.
"Haunted house? Sir, please don't talk nonsense. Good Fortune specifically visited the Bank, and the business is booming and the money is flowing!" Before the boy could say anything, a fat man with a big belly walked out from the back of the lobby, with an unhappy look on his face.
"It's here so soon...what a good luck!" Nie Yun almost died of joy when he saw this man.
It was none other than the "traitor" Li Fu. Logically speaking, a big boss like him rarely appeared in the store. He planned to say a few more words and then find a way to get the boy to trick the boss into coming over. Unexpectedly, the idea was good and God helped him. He just said a word and he appeared out of nowhere.
Li Fu is very unhappy today. Although he is very rich, and his total wealth is no less than that of the four major families, he has a strict wife, and the tigress in the family is very domineering. With his current wealth and status, it is normal for him to have three wives and four concubines, but because of the existence of the one in the family, let alone three wives and four concubines, he cannot even look at other women!
Everyone has a rebellious mentality, and Li Fu is no exception. So, he broke the rules and secretly raised a woman outside. He thought he was doing it very carefully, but in the end, the news leaked out. As soon as he got home today, he was scolded by the tigress in public and beaten so hard that his whole body is still hurting!
This is not over yet. Listening to the tone of the tigress, not only did she want to deal with him, but she also wanted to kill the mistress. Fortunately, he hid her very secretly, otherwise, someone would really die today!
He hates this tigress very much, but there is nothing he can do about it. The family business is inherited from his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Even though the two old people have passed away, his status in the family is still not as good as hers!
Because he had just been beaten by the tigress, he returned to the bank in a bad mood. Who knew that he would hear the words "haunted house" as soon as he arrived and got angered? If he hadn't looked at the "old man" in front of him, he might have turned against him and kicked him out.
"Just said it casually, don't blame us, disciple, let's go!"
Although he was happy in his heart, Nie Yun had a look of disappointment on his face. He shook his head, waved his hand, and walked out with the tall and thick Yang Yan.
"Master, doesn't 'Being forward and leaning back, a tiger leaping over a dragon' mean that this kind of house gathers yin energy, yin rises and yang wanes, and men have to be restrained by women?" The two were about to walk out of the bank, and Yang Yan, the seemingly honest "apprentice" suddenly spoke.
Before Nie Yun came, he explained clearly what Yang Yan was going to say. He naturally asked this on purpose.
Li Fu is now very famous, but Nie Yun knows from his past life memories that his mistress's address will be completely exposed in another week. The tigress at home will strip both his mistress and him naked and throw them outside the door, causing him to suffer all the humiliation!
This incident caused a sensation in Luo Shui City at that time. Li Fu's fear of his wife was also exposed and everyone came to know that. Nie Yun had thought of these things before he came, and naturally made targeted arrangements long ago!
"Masters, please be patient..."
Li Fu originally didn't take these two people seriously, but when he heard the "honest apprentice's explanation, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted hurriedly. When yin is strong and yang is weak, men have to be restrained by women... aren't they talking about him? Could it be that the reason why he has been suppressed by Tigress all these years is because of this house?
"I'm sorry, my apprentice talked too much just now, please don't blame him! We master and apprentice will take our leave now!" Hearing his shout, Nie Yun knew that the other party had taken the bait, but he still declined.
People can be mean sometimes. The more you rush to the door, the less he will pay attention to you, but when you want to leave, he becomes anxious.
Li Fu is like this now. He originally thought that the two of them were liars, but seeing that they didn't ask for anything and what they said was accurate, he stood in front of the two of them with two steps. "Master, I was rude just now. Please come in!"
"Haha, we master and apprentice were just passing by here. We saw that the layout of this house was wrong. We casually said that we didn't want to cause trouble by changing the layout. We also asked this gentleman to let us leave!" Nie Yun pushed Li Fu away and continued walking out.
"You don't want to change the situation and cause trouble? Does that mean you can change the situation and make me immune to the oppression of that tigress?"
Li Fu was not a fool. Hearing the words of the "old man", he seemed to have grasped the clue. He pulled Nie Yun excitedly and said, "Two masters, save me. Don't leave..."
"This..." he didn't expect this guy to be so direct. Many of Nie Yun's prepared remarks had not yet come out, so he just shook his head helplessly, "Well, since we know each other and are destined, I will help you resolve it! However, this matter is very difficult... Hey! Let's talk about it inside the house!" After saying this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, as if he had something to hide.
"Yes, yes, please come inside!" Li Fu led the way.
It's not that Li Fu is stupid, but that he is a well-respected figure in Luo Shui City. Outsiders knew very little about the strict control of his wife before the incident broke out. Now that it was mentioned casually in the mouth of a wandering Taoist priest, he could not help but believe that what the other party said was true!
In addition, even if the other party wanted to lie, he wouldn't have such an indifferent attitude!
Entering the bank again, Nie Yun clasped his hands behind his back, pretended to walk around the room again, and suddenly said: "The hall on the left-hand side is higher than the middle hall. With all due respect, has this gentleman done anything that goes against the family harmony recently?"
"Ah?" Li Fu was afraid that the tigress would know about his mistress, so he did it very secretly. Even the spies from the four major families might not know about it. Unexpectedly, the old man in front of him just took a casual look at the bank layout and saw it, which made him unable to bear it. He was shocked, and at the same time, he admired in his heart, that an expert is an expert!
"The white tiger on the right hand is lying on the front desk. It seems that the dragon and the tiger are fighting, and disaster is inevitable! I'm sorry, my cultivation is shallow, so I might as well not look at it!"
Nie Yun saw that he had grasped the other person's psychology with every word, so he shook his head again, turned around, and walked out.
It seemed to him that the matter was too complicated and he didn't want to take care of it.
"Ah... master, you can't leave me alone!" Li Fu was really scared when he heard the "old man" say so seriously and wanted to leave again.
It's enough for the other party to get one thing right about you. Getting two things right in a row is enough to prove that the old man in front of you has real talent and knowledge and can help you!
"It's not that I don't care about you, but the fact is that you are in trouble. I want to help you but I can't do anything!" Nie Yun shook his head.
"Huh?" Behind him, Yang Yan saw that Li Fu had been fooled, and his heart was as beautiful as a flower. Now that he heard Nie Yun refuse again, his face couldn't help but become weird.
Logically speaking, when it comes to this matter, even if Nie Yun asks for money, the other party will definitely give it to him. The two of them have achieved their goal of defrauding money, so why should they refuse? Isn't he afraid that the other party won't believe it and block it?
"Master, how much do you want, even five hundred taels... a thousand taels will do!" Seeing the old man declining again, Li Fu gritted his teeth and spoke.
Although Li Fu is very rich, he is famously stingy. Everyone familiar with him knows that it is unprecedented for him to be able to give out a thousand taels.
Hearing Li Fu talk about the price, Yang Yan gently tugged at the corner of Nie Yun's clothes, saying that one thousand taels of silver are already a lot, just cheat him, how much more do you want to cheat...
Nie Yun ignored Yang Yan's pull, and suddenly his face changed, "Huh, money? Do you think we master and apprentice are cheating? In this case, we will never see each other again! Farewell!" After saying that, he strode out without turning his head.
"Huh?" Li Fu spoke of money just casually. He didn't expect to make the "old man" so angry, and his face changed with fright.
Only then did he realize that the man in front of him was not seeking wealth or fame. He seemed to be really doing it for his own good. He no longer had any doubts in his heart. He suddenly ran in front of Nie Yun, his knees went weak, and "Plop!" he fell to his knees.
"Master, I was wrong. Please save me for the sake of God's kindness!"
