Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language
Chapter 234 Don’t act cool in front of me
It was almost dark in the afternoon when Gu Chan finally woke up.
She had just finished her meal in the lobby downstairs when Shen Sanfeng came over in person in a carriage.
Ma Zheng also came back with him.
As soon as the two entered the lobby, Ma Zheng ran up to Gu Chan and said excitedly, "Boss, you are so accurate! Xu Renjie, that bastard, really doesn't dare to say anything. Now the head of the Xu family has issued a notice to the public, looking for the thief who burned down the Xu family treasure house!"
"It's going to be a good show now, just wait and see!" Gu Chan said with a wicked grin.
Shen Sanfeng walked over with a stern face, glared at her and scolded, "You are causing trouble again. If this gets out of hand and Patriarch Xu comes to trouble you, how will it end?"
"Don't worry, godfather! I dare to do this because I must have thought about the causes and consequences first." Gu Chan said with a strange smile.
Shen Sanfeng shook his head helplessly.
Anyway, he never thought from the beginning to the end that Gu Chan would be so bold that he not only stole the Xu family's treasure house, but also burned it down.
The news of the Xu family's accident has caused a sensation throughout the entire Zhongyuan City.
He was afraid that Master Xu would find out about Gu Chan, and then she would be in big trouble.
Gu Chan didn't dwell on this issue too much. She just asked Ouyang Wan'er to go upstairs, took down a brocade box, handed it to Shen Sanfeng and said, "Godfather, this is the fifty thousand taels of silver you lent me before. Now I will return it all to you."
"If you don't have it, use it first! I'm not in a hurry here." Shen Sanfeng said with concern.
"Yes, I'm rich now! When it gets dark at night, I have to send money to the refugees." Gu Chan said happily.
Upon seeing this, Shen Sanfeng said nothing more. He waved his hand and asked his men to take away the brocade box of silver bills and put them in the carriage.
Then he turned around and looked around, sizing up the building.
After looking at it for a while, he frowned and reminded, "Gu Chan! This building you bought has a lot of negative energy! You have to be careful."
"This is a haunted house. I spent three thousand taels of silver to buy it." Gu Chan said seriously.
"You dare to buy a haunted house?" Shen Sanfeng was surprised.
He really didn't expect that Gu Chan was so brave.
Gu Chan pulled him aside and whispered, "Godfather, I don't think this haunted house is anything to be afraid of. I always feel that this is not a haunted house, but that there should be a spirit beast or something else hiding here."
"Why do you think so?" Shen Sanfeng became interested.
"I can sense that there is some residual spiritual energy in this building." Gu Chan said mysteriously.
Shen Sanfeng was stunned at first, then he closed his eyes and sensed it carefully.
After careful identification, he discovered that there was indeed a faint spiritual energy overflowing in the building. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether this spiritual energy was the remnant of spiritual beasts, spiritual herbs, or something else.
After confirming this, he immediately said to Gu Chan, "How about this! I'll stay here tonight and take a good look at the situation in this building. It's also a good opportunity to play chess with your grandfather."
"That's great!" Gu Chan said happily.
Shen Sanfeng reached out and touched her head lovingly, then went to play chess with Zhang Wanshan.
At this time, Ouyang Wan'er walked up to Gu Chan and said, "Husband, my grandmother Ding went to see it this morning. There is a good shop in the center of the commercial street. It just so happens that the shopkeeper wants to sell the shop. We have agreed on a price of 1,500 taels of silver."
"Then just take the money and buy it tomorrow." Gu Chan agreed without even thinking.
Ouyang Wan'er was so happy that she danced with joy. She couldn't wait until tomorrow. "Husband, there's no need to wait until tomorrow. I'll go there with Grandma Ding right now and buy that nice shop."
After saying that, she immediately went upstairs to get the banknotes, and took Ding Meihua with her and trotted away.
Gu Chan was a little worried, so she told Ma Zheng, "You go with them and keep a close eye on the shop owner. If he dares to do anything cunning, notify me immediately."
"Yes, boss." Ma Zheng nodded and followed quickly.
After arranging all these things, Gu Chan finally felt at ease.
After that, she was not idle either, but directed everyone to repair the medical clinic and was very busy.
And the sky soon darkened.
Gu Chan and others had just finished dinner when a man dressed in a blue brocade robe and looking like a scholar walked in with a white paper fan in his hand and a smile on his face.
No one in the clinic knew him at all.
Gu Chan looked up and smiled instantly. The person coming was none other than Wei Xing.
Gu Chan stood up and walked forward, saying to everyone in the clinic, "You guys go about your business, this is my friend, he came to play with me!"
"Shopkeeper, when did you have a scholar friend like this?"
"Yeah! I've never seen that before!"
"Could it be that he is a friend that we made in Wuheng County when we were at the border?"
Everyone was whispering, guessing Wei Xing's identity.
Gu Chan ignored them and took Wei Xing directly into the small room on the right side of the ground floor.
After entering the room and closing the door, the two sat opposite each other. Gu Chan joked, "I really can't tell! When you dress up like a scholar, it really makes people feel bright."
"Nonsense. After all, I come from a family of officials. I have been an official since childhood and have read a lot of books. If my father had not been framed by treacherous officials, I might have passed the imperial examination and become an official in the court." Wei Xing said with his eyes raised and a proud look on his face.
"Snapped!"
Gu Chan raised her hand and slapped him in the face, making a loud slap.
Wei Xing covered half of his face with his hands. He was stunned on the spot. "Why did you hit me?"
"You can act cool in front of others, but not in front of me, otherwise I will beat you to a pulp." Gu Chan deliberately raised her little fist to intimidate.
Wei Xing chuckled twice and immediately became playful. How could he dare to pretend in front of her?
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the beating he received last night, which made him feel even more frightened.
Seeing that the beating worked, Gu Chan stopped threatening him and changed the subject, "Did you bring the banknotes?"
"Don't worry, here's 50,000 taels of silver, not a penny less." Wei Xing quickly reached into his arms, took out a bulging small cloth bag, and handed it to Gu Chan respectfully.
Gu Chan opened the bag and counted carefully. After confirming that there were quite a few banknotes inside, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are a sensible boy."
"Then you have to give me some of the money you got! After all, we cooperated last night!" Wei Xing blinked and said cunningly.
Obviously, he had been hiding in the dark and observing Gu Chan's sneaking into the Xu family's treasure house and stealing things, otherwise he would not have made such a request.
Gu Chan squinted at him, feeling that this kid deserved a beating!
