Chapter 178 The Third Pawnshop
Below the dry well of Haihua Temple.
The eight ghost children were hiding in the corner trembling with fear. Bai Jinye, dressed in white, sat there gracefully.
Even Lin Ye had to admit that the person in front of him was the most handsome he had ever seen, on par with himself.
A stone table appeared in front of Bai Jinye.
Appear out of thin air.
This move alone made Lin Ye even more fearful.
There are only two possibilities for this to happen. One is that the other party has some kind of space-related magic weapon that can store and take out the stone table. The other is that he has the ability to take objects from across the mountain.
The former is easier to deal with, but if it is the latter, Lin Ye feels that he can just lie down.
The gap in strength is too big.
"This bottle of Hundred Flowers Intoxication was exchanged with me by a flower spirit. Her entire clan was killed by a mountain demon, so she borrowed my power to take revenge. The price she paid was to turn herself into this bottle of Hundred Flowers Intoxication."
There was a bottle of jade liquid in Bai Jinye's hand, and two cups appeared on the stone table.
After the two glasses were filled, Bai Jinye looked at Lin Ye. Lin Ye was not polite either. He picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.
“Good wine.”
The flower essence took a long time to brew and was indeed extraordinary. After just drinking one cup, Lin Ye could feel the joy of his soul in his dantian.
Flower essence is bred from the essence of heaven and earth. It can be used to make wine, which is comparable to spiritual liquid.
"Your Excellency seems to enjoy trading with others?" Lin Ye thought of what Chen Shanghan's wife said, that this person seemed to make deals with everyone.
"That's my job. I pawn everything in the world. As long as you have something suitable to pawn, I can fulfill any of your wishes. If you don't have something of the right fifth rank, I can even give you your soul."
"Pawn? Are you saying that you are still a pawn shop owner?"
Bai Jinye snapped his fingers with his right hand, and a silver token appeared in front of Lin Ye.
"The Third Pawnshop."
Reaching out to take the token, Lin Ye recognized the words on it. The name of this pawn shop was really domineering.
"The sky is one, the earth is two. Except for the sky and the earth, everything can be pawned." Bai Jinye smiled proudly and said, "If there is nothing suitable, then use your soul as pawn."
"Why do you collect souls, Your Excellency?"
“It’s fun.”
Bai Jinye blinked again, and his answer left Lin Ye speechless.
"You came to me just to tell me all this and then buy me a drink?" Lin Ye went straight to the point.
"No." Bai Jinye shook his head: "I'm here to take back my pawned items and make a deal with you."
"Stop, I don't need a deal."
Lin Ye looked at Bai Jinye, and Bai Jinye smiled and said, "Why don't you listen to me first? Maybe it's exactly what you need."
"I have poor self-control and I still didn't listen."
Some things are like the devil's temptation. The best way to resist the devil's temptation is not to let the devil speak.
“You are really cautious.” Bai Jinye smiled, waved his right hand, and the stone table disappeared, along with the wine glass that Lin Ye had just brought to his mouth. Seeing Lin Ye’s puzzled look, Bai Jinye said lightly: “This wine is for those who make deals with me. Since you don’t make deals, you naturally can’t drink it.”
"It's just a glass of wine, there's no need to be so stingy, right?"
“You are so stingy.” Bai Jinye stood up. Just when Lin Ye thought that he was going to leave, Bai Jinye’s face suddenly turned cold and filled with terrifying murderous aura. Behind him was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and in the middle of that mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, stood a pawnshop.
Lin Ye's pupils suddenly shrank, and he retreated backwards in an instant. At the same time, the standing Buddha appeared above his head, and he was enveloped in golden light.
However, at the moment when Lin Ye summoned out the Standing Buddha, the mountain of corpses and sea of blood behind Bai Jinye disappeared.
"Let me tell you something. The pawn shop accepts everything, including assassination. But as long as you become a customer of the pawn shop, you will not appear on the pawn shop's list of people to be killed."
Bai Jinye's words made Lin Ye a little stunned. Are these disguised ways of forcing people to trade with him?
But before Lin Ye could say anything, Bai Jinye's figure disappeared from the spot. At the same time, Li Chengbo's voice came from the wellhead above.
"Advisor Lin, are you down there?"
"Come down, it's safe down there."
Lin Ye responded, and a few minutes later, Li Chengbo and Xiao Ke also came down from the well. When they saw the miserable state of Monk Huiwen lying on the ground, they looked at Lin Ye with strange eyes.
"Ahem, he was attacked by these ghost children..."
"Yes, yes, we know."
Seeing the obviously perfunctory expressions of Li Chengbo and Xiao Ke, Lin Ye rolled his eyes in his heart, walked to the eight stone pillars, grabbed with his right hand, and picked up a ghost child.
"This is the ghost child, it is the result of resentment. Destroy these eight stone pillars, the resentment will dissipate and the ghost child will be gone."
"good."
Xiao Ke remembered Lin Ye's words carefully. Lin Ye did not stay long. Since Monk Huiwen was dead, the matter of Haihua Temple was over.
"Take me back to the amusement park."
It has been almost two hours since I walked from the amusement park to Haihua Temple, but my cousin hasn't even sent me a message. I guess she is so immersed in the joy of meeting her idol that she has forgotten about her cousin.
In fact, Lin Ye’s guess was correct.
Amusement park.
Lin Ting was so happy at the moment that she didn't want to leave. Xu Yuxi was really nice. Not only did she not have any star airs, she was also very enthusiastic towards her. She could watch these stars filming the reality show up close.
"Wow, it's Qin Yu, so handsome, worthy of being a popular young star."
"Liu Yan is so beautiful, but my Xixizi is still the most beautiful."
Perhaps because she was too excited, Lin Ting's voice was a little louder. When she saw Liu Yan looking at her, she quickly stuck out her tongue and retracted it.
But over there, the female artist Liu Yan seemed to have said something to the director, and soon the executive director on the scene came over.
"Which artist's assistant are you?"
"I……"
The executive director had a stern face, and Lin Ting was a little scared. Fortunately, Xu Yuxi came over at this time and helped her out: "Director, I'm sorry, this is my friend."
Seeing Xu Yuxi coming over, the executive director's attitude became better and he said, "Teacher Xu, we are filming now. If you are not in the industry, please try not to get so close."
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
After the executive director left, Lin Ting quickly apologized: "Xixizi, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."
"It's okay, just a small matter. Where's your brother?"
"Oh yeah, where did my brother go? Why did he disappear after entering the amusement park?"
Lin Ting then remembered that her main mission this time was to pick up her cousin, and she almost forgot about it.
Picking up the phone, Lin Ting called Lin Ye, and waited until she hung up before saying, "Xixizi, I'll be leaving now. I won't disturb you from recording the show."
"Okay, we can add each other as friends, but you can't give my WeChat to other people."
Xu Yuxi took the initiative to add WeChat. Lin Ting was completely stunned. After a while, she reacted and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I will definitely not tell anyone else."
Lin Ting added Xu Yuxi as her friend and left excitedly, looking back every few steps. Xu Yuxi's assistant asked in confusion, "Sister Xi, is this necessary?"
In her opinion, Lin Ting is just an ordinary fan. If Sister Xi wants to add every fan like this as a friend, she won’t be able to add all of them even if she has ten WeChat messages.
"They're all very nice people, there's nothing wrong with adding them as friends, let's go and continue filming."
Xu Yuxi didn't explain too much to her assistant. She had already come to this point. If she continued to lack exposure, she would be no different from .
"If you want to get in touch with her brother, you can just..."
"Stop."
Xu Yuxi stopped her assistant from saying anything. Although she had some thoughts in this regard, she also knew that some things should not be too deliberate. As for whether it could be used in the future, she would have to wait and see. For now, this was just a casual move.
At the entrance of the amusement park, Lin Ye looked at his cousin who was very excited and asked curiously, "Looking at your expression, it's like you picked up a gold ingot. What's the good news?"
"Ahhh!" Lin Ting screamed three times. She had to hold back when she was in the amusement park before, fearing that it would have a bad influence on Xu Yuxi, but now that she was out of the amusement park, she didn't need to do that anymore. After screaming three times to vent her inner excitement, she said, "Brother, I added Xu Yuxi's WeChat, but I can't give it to you. I promised Xu Yuxi that this WeChat number can't be easily given to others."
"Then keep it well and don't let me know."
Lin Ye smiled. He could roughly guess why Xu Yuxi would send a WeChat message to her cousin.
Those who can become stars are not simple-minded.
"Go back quickly. Your dad just called me and asked me where I was. I said there was a traffic jam. From the tone of my uncle, if we don't get home soon, he will probably drive a police car to arrest us."
"My dad wouldn't do that. He never drives a government car." Lin Ting chuckled, but quickened her pace.
Half an hour later.
Lin Ye arrived at his uncle's house.
He had been here two years ago during the summer vacation when he was in college, and even earlier during the summer vacation when he was in high school. The entire community hasn't changed much, but the greenery is very nice, and it's one of those unit houses from the early years.
Those who can live here are all of a certain level in the unit.
"dad!"
Lin Ting called out when she entered the room. A middle-aged man with a square face who was watching the news on the sofa in the living room looked towards the door. When he saw Lin Ye, a smile appeared on his face.
"Xiaoye is here."
"Uncle, aunt."
Lin Ye greeted his uncle and aunt who came out of the kitchen, and asked curiously, "Where's my cousin?"
"He's on duty today, and he'll be back soon."
"Come sit down and watch the news together."
Lin Tang pointed at the sofa, and Lin Ye sat down as he said. Lin Ting on the side rolled her eyes and said, "Dad, I'll go into the room first."
There is nothing better than reading the news and watching Xixizi's updates.
Lin Ye was fine, he knew his uncle's personality, the traditional macho type who would never express emotions when facing his juniors.
"After graduation, you are staying in Raocheng now?"
"Um."
"Raocheng has developed well in recent years, why haven't you thought about taking the civil service exam?"
Lin Tang watched the news for a while and asked, and Lin Ye replied: "I don't like being bound."
"How can taking the civil service exam be considered a constraint? To put it bluntly, I still prefer to live a comfortable life." Lin Tang was a little dissatisfied. In his opinion, young people should strive for the modernization of the motherland.
“Dad, you’re brainwashing me again. It’s not enough to brainwash me, you’re also brainwashing Lin Ye.”
The door was not closed. Lin Ye's cousin Lin Ming walked in from the doorway. Seeing Lin Ye sitting on the sofa and watching the news on TV, he was happy: "Lin Ye, this is not the first time you have experienced the special features of our family."
"How can you be brainwashed? No country has the happy life you have now? We should let you go back to our era."
"Go back to your era and taste the bitterness of your time..." Lin Ming took over his father's words and spoke first: "Dad, you are thinking about building the country, but the country may not be thinking about you."
"What's the meaning?"
"What else can it mean? There was a meeting at the bureau this morning, and your son was assigned to Qingtou Town."
"Qingtou Town, why are we going to the town?"
"How would I know? This is how the leader arranged it. Dad, you just retired and you are already forgotten."
Lin Ming curled his lips, and Lin Tang glared at his son: "Don't talk nonsense, since the bureau arranged it this way, there must be a reason for it."
"What's the reason? Lin Tang, let me tell you, my son could have studied abroad, but you wanted him to take the police exam. Now he's going to town, you have to give me an explanation."
Aunt Lin Ye came out of the kitchen again. Lin Tang felt a little headache after listening to his wife's words: "I'll call and ask Xiao Geng."
Seeing his uncle enter the study, Lin Ye looked at his cousin and asked, " It 's not that simple, is it?"
Although they were not working for the government, some principles were common. Now that his uncle had retired, he would take care of his cousin according to convention. If not by promoting him to a higher level, he would at least give him a good place to live. Why would he go back to the countryside?
"My father offended someone, and now that he is in power, he will naturally punish me."
Lin Ming lowered his voice and explained a few words, and Lin Ye finally understood what was going on.
My uncle is a very picky person. He was originally in charge of criminal affairs. A few years ago, there was a case that my uncle was in charge of. At that time, someone came to my uncle to say hello, but my uncle did not give him face, so the man was later sentenced to five years in prison.
The person who greeted him was the second-in-command of the bureau, and it was he who adjusted Lin Ming's job during this meeting.
"Just wait and see. This call is useless. If it doesn't work, I'll just go to the sea."
Lin Ye listened to his cousin's words and knew that he was just speaking in anger, but transferring a criminal police officer to the town was indeed a form of retaliation.
Five minutes later, Uncle Lin Ye came out with a sullen face.
"Xiao Geng said that this is a normal job transfer. They are letting you go down so that you can gain grassroots work experience."
"Dad, you probably don't believe this yourself. I'm a criminal police officer, and I'm in charge of household registration. What's the matter? I've accumulated experience and can tell the registered place of a criminal at a glance."
puff!
Lin Ye couldn't help laughing. Seeing his uncle and his cousin's father and son looking at each other, he explained, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. But I know someone in the police department. How about I give them a call and ask?"
"Lin Ye, do you know anyone from our Quanzhou Public Security Bureau? Forget it, ordinary people are useless."
In Lin Ming's opinion, the people his cousin knew were all young people, and no matter how capable they were at this age, they would not be that great, after all, their age was there.
"I have nothing to lose by calling and asking."
Lin Ye picked up his phone and walked to the balcony. He naturally didn't know the Quanzhou Police, but he had just added the phone number of Xiao Ke from the Appraisal Institute. Xiao Ke must know the Quanzhou Police.
A minute later, Lin Ye hung up the phone and walked back to the living room.
"My friend asked for help."
"Lin Ye, who is your friend? Is he also in our system?"
"No, but someone in your system should know you."
Lin Ye's answer made Lin Ming stunned for a moment, and then he said helplessly: "Nothing in this system is useful, and it is even more impossible for you to find an outsider. Anyway, my father is no longer popular, and the person who promoted him in the past no longer recognizes him."
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Lin Tang glared at his son. He was a little annoyed. He was the one who promoted Xiao Geng, but he had just retired. Xiao Geng was hesitating on the phone and only told the truth under his questioning.
Quanzhou Appraisal Institute.
After Xiao Ke put down his phone, he made a call without any hesitation.
He didn't know how awesome Consultant Lin was before, but just now he pestered Consultant Li, who revealed some information to him. Only then did he realize how awesome a person was who came to Quanzhou.
Although Consultant Lin had just asked on the phone whether he knew anyone in the Quanzhou Public Security System and wanted to know about his cousin's transfer, he could understand what Consultant Lin meant after working in this country.
The translated meaning is: This is my cousin, do you dare to make things difficult for him?
