The Devil's Tribulation

Pan Chengfeng wandered around Fancheng during the day, asking around for places like markets and trading places, and he actually got some results. When it got dark, Pan Chengfeng stopped a rickshaw: "Brother, take me to the biggest and best inn in Fancheng!" The brother was a little embarrassed when he heard it: "Sir, this biggest and best must be the Tianshang Renjian on Fugui Street in the center of the city. If we go there now, it may be closed." Pan Chengfeng was stunned. It was only six o'clock in the evening, and it would close at least at eleven o'clock. In other words, in five or six hours, this brother couldn't pull himself to the city center? It can be seen how big Fancheng is. Pan Chengfeng thought for a while and said, "Then the best inn nearby will do." The brother agreed and pulled Pan Chengfeng and ran. The speed was really not slow, worthy of being a man who eats this bowl of rice. This kind of porters who pull carts are everywhere in Fancheng. Because Fancheng is too big, it is said that it takes two days to go around a circle. So the market for this kind of porters is still very large.

Sitting in the car, Pan Chengfeng was already thinking about what he had learned during the day: "Fancheng is divided into five districts: east, south, west, north and center. Each district has its own commercial street. In other words, if there are immortal shops, they are likely to be hidden in these commercial streets. I just don't know how to find these shops." Looking at the young man pulling the car, Pan Chengfeng asked: "Young man, do you know where Donghua Street in Dongcheng is?" The young man replied while running: "How could I not know who I am in this business? Not to mention Dongcheng, I am also familiar with the other four districts." Pan Chengfeng continued: "Oh? Young man, are you from Fancheng? Are you so familiar with this place?" The young man gradually became interested in chatting. Although he was running, it did not affect his conversation at all. The young man kept his speed and continued to reply: "I am from Yujia Village outside Xicheng. But I have been making a living in Fancheng since I was a child. It has been fifteen years. I have been driving passengers around all day, and I have gradually become familiar with Fancheng." Pan Chengfeng nodded and thought to himself: "So he is an old driver."

About half an hour later, the young man stopped and turned to Pan Chengfeng and said, "This is the best inn in our East City, Yuelai Inn. The accommodation fee is not cheap. Are you really determined to stay here? I know a few more affordable places and can introduce them to you." Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "No, this place is fine." He is not Uncle Niu, who is afraid that others will recognize him. Why not enjoy the money? Could it be that he has become a masochist after practicing too much physical training? After getting off the car, Pan Chengfeng frowned slightly and said "Huh", then said to the young man nonchalantly, "I plan to go around East City these days, and I just need someone who is familiar with Fancheng to lead the way. How about this, you come here to wait for me tomorrow morning, and I will continue to use your car, how about it?"

Pan Chengfeng threw a five-liang silver ingot to the young man, who took it. He saw that it was a five-liang silver ingot, and hurriedly said, "It's too much, too much. You only need twenty copper coins for this trip. Even if you continue to ride tomorrow, it won't cost that much..." Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and said, "I'm not paying for one or two days. You can keep it first. If there is more, you can return it to me. If there is less, I will give it to you. Besides, I not only need to take the car, but you also need to be my guide." Hearing that Pan Chengfeng needed a guide, the young man smiled and took the silver into his arms. In their line of work, as long as they are healthy and diligent, their income is still considerable. However, five liang of silver is also his income for two months.

After making an appointment with the rickshaw driver to wait for him at the entrance of the inn at 8 o'clock tomorrow, which was the hour of morning, Pan Chengfeng walked towards the gate of the inn. When he was still 20 to 30 meters away from the gate, a little beggar suddenly jumped out and blocked Pan Chengfeng's way. Pan Chengfeng noticed her when he got off the car, and just now he was wondering how she found this place. The innkeeper was about to go up to greet the guest, but when he saw the little beggar blocking the guest's way, he was furious! He rushed out and kicked the little beggar in the butt, cursing: "You are blind!"

Pan Chengfeng waved his hand and a gust of wind blew the waiter off his feet and he sat down on the ground. The little beggar looked back at the fallen waiter and was just feeling lucky that he had escaped. Pan Chengfeng had already asked, "How did you find me?" His expression was very serious. Pan Chengfeng felt that he couldn't be so careless that he didn't even know he was being followed by an untrained person. Or maybe there was something he didn't notice, so he had to figure it out. Otherwise, if he didn't know he was being followed in the future, it would be a big deal!

When the little beggar heard Pan Chengfeng's question, he replied awkwardly, "I saw that you were from another place, and you were dressed so well and had money, so I thought you would find a good inn to rest. This is the best inn in East City, so I waited for you here in advance." Pan Chengfeng was speechless for a while, thinking, "So that's how it is. It seems that Master is right. You have to keep a low profile wherever you go, otherwise you will be noticed by someone with ulterior motives and die without knowing how. You really can't be careless when you go out. I was taught a lesson by a little beggar."

After listening to the little beggar's words, Pan Chengfeng scratched his head. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the little beggar's sweet laughter. Pan Chengfeng didn't know that it was indeed a little funny for him to do this action. After hearing the laughter, Pan Chengfeng also realized that this action seemed a little inappropriate, so he quickly put his hand down and asked, "Why are you following me again? Ten taels of silver is not enough?" Here, ten taels of silver is enough for a family of four to live for two years. Some long-term workers in rich families only earn 500-800 copper coins a month. Ten taels of silver, that is, coins, is enough for the little beggar to live.

The little beggar was timid and hesitant, picking his fingers and not saying anything. Pan Chengfeng was a little annoyed by her and said, "Forget it! I'm going in, you leave by yourself and don't block other people's business." The waiter sat up and said with a smile, "Sir, are you eating or staying in the hotel? Our Yuelai Inn is the best inn here. Not only does it have the best rooms, but the taste of the food is also the best in Dongcheng." Pan Chengfeng casually said, "The best guest rooms, the best food and wine, arrange them for me." After that, he threw five taels of silver to the waiter, which was a tip. The waiter's eyes lit up and became more enthusiastic: "Sir, our inn has some special services, what do you think?" Pan Chengfeng stopped and asked with anticipation, "What special services?" The waiter whispered, "Our inn has business dealings with Chunhualou in Dongcheng. If you are interested, you can ask them to perform for you to help you drink. If you like, you can also stay overnight." After that, he gave Pan Chengfeng a look that all men understand.

Pan Chengfeng felt a surge of heat in his heart. In his previous life, if he didn't go to nightclubs to have fun, what was the point of having money? It was the same here. Now Pan Chengfeng was so poor that he only had silver left. The fortune-giving boy of the Bai family had nothing else in his storage ring. There were tens of thousands of taels of silver and more than a thousand taels of gold, but only a hundred crystal beads and two flying swords. Pan Chengfeng hadn't established his foundation yet, so his flying swords were useless. He planned to sell the flying sword of the Han family man to see if he could exchange it for some crystal beads. As for the Bai family man, the risk was relatively high, so he kept it for now.

Seeing that Pan Chengfeng was ready to make a move, the waiter was about to add fuel to the fire. Pan Chengfeng was also about to ask what programs he could order. The two of them seemed to hit it off when suddenly a pleasant voice was heard: "Sir, you don't need it!" Pan Chengfeng's face darkened and he thought to himself: "Who said I don't need it? I really need it! I didn't enjoy it in my last life, so I must visit a brothel in this life!" It seemed that it was about to happen, but this little beggar actually wanted to ruin Pan Chengfeng's good thing?

Pan Chengfeng turned around and looked at the little beggar with a face full of resentment, and said bitterly: "When is it your turn to meddle in my business? Go away." He turned around and planned to order some shows. The waiter was also looking forward to it, because he would get a commission, and it was obvious that this young man was not short of money. The little beggar suddenly shouted: "You are a pervert! You touched me, and now you want to... want in front of me... Humph!" The little beggar couldn't say the word prostitution for a long time. The waiter then noticed that the little beggar seemed to be a girl. He looked at Pan Chengfeng with a strange look in his eyes, and thought to himself: "This guest has a really unique taste." Pan Chengfeng's old face turned red, and he hurriedly explained: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I touch you!" The little beggar pointed to his waist and said angrily: "Here! In the restaurant during the day, you touched me here!"

Pan Chengfeng was stunned. The waiter saw Pan Chengfeng's expression and thought to himself, "It seems that he really touched her. This young man is really good at playing." There were still many people coming and going at the door of the inn. The little beggar who heard the voice of a girl and questioned a young man all looked ready to eat melons. Pan Chengfeng glanced around and thought to himself, "This is a shame!" He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the little beggar's hand, pulling her into the inn, and asked, "Where is my room?" The waiter hurriedly replied, "The third floor, the best room, the guest has a good rest." After saying that, he had a strange smile on his face.

Pan Chengfeng pulled the little beggar and went straight up to the third floor. The little beggar struggled all the way, but how could she escape from Pan Chengfeng's clutches? Only when they reached the door of the No. 1 room did Pan Chengfeng let go of the little beggar's hand and said, "Go in!" The little beggar touched his wrist that was a little painful from being grabbed, and tears started to flow again. Pan Chengfeng was speechless for a while: "What sin did I do in my previous life? Don't cry for no reason, I was wrong, okay?" The little beggar was a little surprised to hear that Pan Chengfeng actually admitted his mistake. In this era, it is rare for a man to take the initiative to admit his mistakes to a woman. A man, as the head of a family, must maintain his dignity and will not easily admit his mistakes. Hearing Pan Chengfeng admit his mistake, the little beggar sniffed and asked, "Then are you still the girl of Chunhualou?" Pan Chengfeng thought with a frustrated look on his face, "Where did this ancestor come from? He actually started to control me?! Uncle Niu was here before, and the county town and the village didn't have the conditions. Now I finally have money and conditions, and no one controls me, and suddenly a little ancestor appears to control me?" Pan Chengfeng insisted, "Besides this matter, what else do you want?"

The little beggar glared at her and yelled, "You pervert! You touched me and now you're fooling around outside! You, you, you're a big pervert! You're a rascal! You're a wuwuwu..." Pan Chengfeng was shocked. He didn't expect that the little girl would yell at him for a disagreement. He quickly covered her mouth and pushed her into the room. He quickly closed the door and threw the little beggar on the bed, angrily saying, "What do you have to do with me? Why do you mind my business?!" When the little girl saw Pan Chengfeng throwing her on the bed, she subconsciously hugged her knees and yelled, "What do you want to do? You're just like the guy before. I was blind! That's why I came to you! Pervert!"

Pan Chengfeng really had no idea what to do, so he slammed the door and walked out. He couldn't stand it anymore. This girl really refreshed his three views on women. As soon as he got downstairs, the waiter came up to him with a smile and asked, "Are you done, sir?" Pan Chengfeng glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Where are my wine and food?" The waiter said quickly, "They are ready. Please come this way." When he sat down at the table and was about to eat and drink, he suddenly remembered that the little beggar hadn't eaten yet, so he ordered, "Get some food and bath water for my room, and send her a set of clean clothes." The waiter smiled and agreed.
