This is a deep courtyard, located on an old street in Hankou, away from the hustle and bustle. The mottled gates eroded by the wind and rain of time all say loneliness and desolation.

Now, there is a young woman sitting in this old house. She is wearing a red cheongsam with golden silk, with fair and transparent skin, which looks very out of place in this dusk house. This is Ye Xian who takes money (soul) and eliminates disasters with people (ghosts).

The sky gradually darkened, and she sat under the old locust tree in the yard, quietly waiting for something.

"Why haven't it done yet?"

A voice came from the body of the old locust tree. The sound was a little old and showed majesty.

Ye Xian sneered: "You old guy, we said before signing the contract that the contract must be signed on a completely sincere basis. If you lie, the contract will be invalid and your transaction will be completed."

"Careful? I didn't lie to you."

The voice was a little angry: "Go and inquire about what kind of person Ye Laosan from my Hankou Gang is, and what are you doing to deceive you, a little girl."

"You said that Huang Scorpio from Baoqing's gang kidnapped your daughter, but Huang Scorpio is an old man, a 70-80-year-old man, how can he kidnapped your daughter? You are clearly making up lies and want us to help you harm Huang Scorpio."

"My Hankou Gang always turns around, how can I lie to you a girl?"

The master of the voice became more and more angry.

"Hankou is so awesome. Have you been driven out of Hanzheng Street by Baoqing's gang? Now you are just a lonely ghost trapped in an old locust tree and can't move. What a fierce thing to do with me? I will ignore my aunt if I annoy you, and I will let you, the old guy, have no bones left."

After saying that, Ye Xian turned around and left.

Looking at the bright red back, Yingying's waist was about to disappear at the door of the backyard, and the voice from the old locust tree shouted hurriedly: "Miss Ye, please, I don't want to suffer forever again. Please help me and let me get relief."

As he said that, there was a bang sound, as if someone was kneeling down and kowtowing constantly.

If a murderer is just a slight head and let a ghost kowtow and ask for something like this, ordinary people may feel soft-hearted, but Ye Xian still moves forward regardless of it.

"Miss Ye, yes, I told lies. I'll tell you all now. Please help me."

The old ghost began to wail.

The yard was filled with wind for a moment, and the old locust trees swung violently in the wind, and the leaves fell one after another.

The courtyard gate slammed and Ye Xian sneered: "Old guy, how dare you threaten me?"

Some faint black smoke gradually spread from above the old locust tree. The black smoke gathered in the air into a vague human form, and then he kept bent down and knelt down, obviously begging.

Ye Xian sat directly on the stone table, pointed to the shadow and said, "All right, my aunt is not afraid of you, but she just pity you. It's so boring that the boss is a ghost when he is old. It would be great to tell the truth. Come down and explain the matter clearly. If you hide it at all, you will definitely lose your soul and suffer indecent pain."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The black shadow dispersed again and merged into the old locust tree. Then a voice was extremely sad: "I can only rely on this old locust tree to gather all the spirits, and I cannot escape from the old tree for too long."

"Tell me, how old is Huang Scorpio, and how did your daughter be abducted by him."

"Hmph, that guy was just a humble tailor at the beginning! Just a little tailor!"

Ye Laosan said angrily.

When Ye Xian heard this, he thought something was wrong. If this Huang Scorpio was really a tailor, then according to the information Zhao Nan received, he would definitely be an old man in his seventies or eighties. How could he abduct someone's big girl?

"He is a poor and humble tailor, making clothes for people on Hanzheng Street. Somehow, my family's family found that shop, so he started to buy my family's family's clothes for them to tailor them. After a while, I met my little girl Ye Feng."

Ye Xian felt a little sad: "Ye Laosan, what year did you talk about?"

"What year did it happen? I'm old and confused. I'm trapped in this big locust tree for many years. I don't know which year it was. It's always before Xinhai. Brother Hong hadn't become the president yet. Well, that's it. Brother Hong became the president, and our Hankou Gang made some contributions."

Ye Xian suddenly understood, and she couldn't help laughing and crying: This was a misunderstanding from the beginning. This old ghost was a hero when he was alive, but he was confused when he was a ghost. He forgot about the time and remembered the era incorrectly. What he was talking about in the Qing Dynasty, and where did this go!

It’s also my fault. The old ghost asked someone to come to the door and was moved by the soul of a gang boss and fifty gold bars. So he came to Wuhan according to the old ghost’s request. The old ghost kept saying that Huang Scorpio had kidnapped his daughter. He took it for granted that Huang Scorpio was a handsome young man and did not verify it with the old ghost. It was over, and he wasted time and effort, and Zhao Nan even went to hook up with someone’s big girl. How can I explain this?

The old ghost noticed that Ye Xian's expression was strange and hurriedly said, "Girl, every word I said is true and there is no lie."

"You old guy, remember to spend time, which has caused us to do so many things in vain. Whether it is Huang Scorpio or your daughter, they are already in their sixties or seventies. What's the point of revenge now? Maybe they've gone down to find you. So, you take out twenty gold bars, and even if my preliminary investigation costs are paid, I won't settle the score with you. This matter will be left in nothing. I'm not interested in your old and confused soul."

"No, they are all alive. I stay here and cannot move, but there are always some lonely ghosts passing by in this yard. Last time I asked a wandering soul to go to the girl for help. I also heard those wandering souls say that the girl can help people and ghosts to revenge. I have been trapped here for years and year. I have entrusted many wandering souls to help me find out. They are still alive and are still very good. No one remembers my old bones! My daughter was fished out from the river when I was on a boat. My Ye Lao San was still weak. My wife and I thought it was the daughter sent by the Dragon Prince. They regarded her as a treasure. They didn't know that my daughter was raised, but she was kidnapped by the Yellow Scorpio and plotted against me with him! I seized the dock of my Hankou Gang, and I was also removed from the gang!"

When Ye Laosan spoke this, his voice gradually choked.

Ye Xian then completely understood why after investigating himself, there was no such person as Ye Laosan in the Hankou Gang. It turned out that he had been removed from the list in the Qing Dynasty.

"Then you continue to say that as long as they live, if they really feel sorry for you and make you look like this, I will still fulfill my responsibilities according to the contract, even if they are in their seventies or eighties."

"When Huang Scorpio took the opportunity to make clothes, he met my daughter. I don't know what tricks he used. My silly daughter was fascinated by him. I was busy with gang affairs at that time and fought and killed with Baoqing Gang all day long. How could I know that this happened at home? Until later, the prefect came forward to ask our two families to negotiate and reconcile. I asked someone to take out the iron shoes he passed down from the family to use this to destroy the arrogance of Baoqing Gang. Who would have thought that my daughter would have told Huang Scorpio about the secret of how to wear iron shoes. The guy actually put on the iron shoes and walked around. Our Hankou Gang was driven out of Hanzheng Street and evacuated from Hankou Wharf."

Ye Xian nodded: Yes, yes, this is consistent with the information Zhao Nan got! It turned out that Huang Scorpio got Ye Feng's help in the iron shoes. Then he sighed and said, "There is nothing to do. The girl's external minister turned her elbows outward and helped her little lover. Besides, your son-in-law Huang Scorpio is also a great hero. He manages the Baoqing Gang in an orderly manner. It is not a loss to get such a son-in-law."

"Hmph, they colluded with each other, which caused me to be driven out of the Hankou Gang. Miss Ye, do you know that once we are driven out of the gang, how many enemies will come to seek revenge? We have to avoid countless enemies when we are alive, and we are trapped here by enemies when we die. You say, am I suffering? Is it wrong or not!"
