"One tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand copper coins, and one hundred taels is equivalent to one hundred thousand copper coins. According to the purchasing power of 2020, it is equivalent to three hundred thousand, which is indeed a huge reward."

Looking at the monks and Taoists gathered at the gate of the palace, Lin Kong calculated in his mind and walked towards the palace.

""This... Sir, what can I do for you?"

When Lin Kong arrived at the gate of the palace, a servant immediately came forward to ask.

Of course, while asking you, the servant looked at Lin Kong's muddy shoes and robe hem with a little disdain, frowning slightly.

Lin Kong was dressed like a scholar, and every three-year exam came in these months, there were many scholars like Lin Kong who set out early because the mountain roads were covered with mud.

Therefore, the servant did not regard the dirty Lin Kong as a beggar.

But there was definitely disdain.

Lin Kong did not care about this servant. If the two positions were reversed, he would also disdain it to some extent, but he would not show it because he had received higher education.

"Here."

Lin Kong waved the notice in his hand and said nothing, but his purpose was clear.

The servant was surprised:"Are you here to catch ghosts too?"

His words immediately attracted the attention of the monks and Taoists gathered in front.

Another one trying to steal their business!

The monks and Taoists didn't say anything, but Lin Kong saw the thoughts hidden in their eyes.

With a slight smile, Lin Kong retracted his gaze, looked at the surprised servant, and said:"Is there a rule in this world that only Taoists and monks can catch ghosts?"

"This is not……"

The servant scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then said,"Okay. You also come over and wait for the arrangements of the chief steward with the Taoist priests and masters."

After that, he turned around and returned to his post.

Lin Kong followed with a smile and came to the gathered monks and Taoist priests.

Those monks and Taoist priests did not even look at his arrival, obviously without any interest.

Lin Kong was also happy to be idle.

While waiting for the so-called chief steward, Lin Kong also looked at the monks and Taoist priests gathered around.

There were a total of three Taoist priests and two monks gathered.

But these three Taoist priests and two monks were also very particular about the arrangement. Each of them brought two little Taoist children and little monks, which made more than a dozen people gathered in front of the palace, which seemed to be a lot of people.

After Lin Kong looked at them for a while, an old man who looked to be over 60 years old hurriedly came into the palace.

The old man was wearing a silk dress, which was completely different from the servants around him. When he came out, there were many servants behind him. The servant guarding the door greeted him and called him"Steward Wang". Obviously, he was the so-called chief steward.

"Is that all for today?"

Steward Wang had an anxious look on his face, and he looked tired. When he came out and saw the Taoists and monks gathered at the door, he frowned slightly.

And when he saw Lin Kong, dressed as a scholar, mixed in the crowd, Steward Wang was even more stunned, and immediately said to the servant guarding the door in a stern voice:"Nonsense! That evil ghost is so fierce and has killed many people. You hire people to catch ghosts but don't even look carefully! Don't kill people in vain!"

After that, without waiting for the servant to answer, Steward Wang quickly came to Lin Kong and persuaded him:"My lord, from your appearance, you should be preparing to go to Beijing to take the exam, right? The ghosts in my house are fierce and have killed many people. If you are short of money to go to Beijing, I can personally support you with half a dollar, and it is impossible for you to post the list randomly and lose your life in vain!"

"Hmm?"

When he saw the other party coming, Lin Kong had imagined that the other party looked down on him.

But who knew that after the other party came over, he not only persuaded him kindly, but also prepared to secretly support him with half a catty of money, just to prevent him from losing his life in vain.

For a moment, Lin Kong couldn't help but feel good about it.

One thousand copper coins is one catty of money, and half a catty is five hundred copper coins, which is about the equivalent of one thousand five hundred or six hundred.

"What a wealthy family!"

A steward was so generous.

The most important thing was that the other party was a rare good man. Seeing that he looked more like a scholar than a ghost catcher, he stepped forward to dissuade him.

Sure enough, there are still many good people in the world!

These thoughts flashed quickly in Lin Kong's mind.

He smiled and said,"Thank you very much, steward.

But as the saying goes, no merit, no reward.

How can I accept your money for nothing? If you want money, of course you have to exchange it with your ability.

Some people write poems and paint, and some people are worth thousands of gold for a single word.

I have no other skills, but it happens that my ancestors were instructed by immortals, and I have some skills to exorcise evil spirits.

Today I am going to use this to exchange for some money.

I hope the steward will help me.

"

"……"

After hearing Lin Kong's words and looking at Lin Kong's appearance, Manager Wang frowned for a while. Seeing that Lin Kong had no intention of retreating, he said helplessly,"Okay. Since you insist on doing this, I won't say anything more."

After that, he turned around and returned to his original position.

When Manager Wang turned around and went back, a Taoist priest suddenly sneered and said,"Your ancestors were instructed by the immortals. You can say that. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Kong was immediately refreshed when he heard this.

That's right!

As expected, the small fish taunting monster may be late, but it will definitely not be absent!
