Chapter 18: The Land of Finance and Law

You know, the gap between the rich and the poor in Shao Cheng's world has only been widened for nearly twenty years! A large number of local tyrants have dominated the area. What's more, this world of ghost-fighting ghosts has naturally developed for more than two hundred years?

Shao Cheng had inquired about this casually while going out for dinner.

There are four major families in this town!

They are Bai, Tan, Liu and Ma.

Among them, the original surname of the Bai family was not "Bai" but "Baiyintula" was originally a nobleman of the Qing Dynasty. Because his ancestors had military achievements, they were sent to guard this place after entering the pass. Later, this lineage stayed in the local area and formed the Bai family.

The ancestor of the Bai family is skilled in bowing and horses, and it is said that he was very brave back then.

However, for more than two hundred years of pampering, the descendants of the Bai family have long lost the ability of their ancestors. The only reason why they can be considered a big family in this small town is that they have been buying and swallowing up large fertile land for more than two hundred years!

The Bai family is the largest landlord here.

The Tan family, second only to the Bai family, is Zhang Dadan's boss, Mr. Tan's family, mainly engaged in business.

Most of the grain and oil shops, silk shops, and even goods warehouses in the town are from Mr. Tan’s property. In addition, the generations of people in the village have accumulated large areas of fertile land to buy, and the financial resources and power can be said to be the dominant force of this town!

However, compared to the Bai family, who is a bannerman, Mr. Tan is relatively more restrained in his work and looks kind-hearted on weekdays.

However, only those who have dealt with him for a long time know that this Boss Tan is the real treacherous villain who eats people and does not spit out bones!

Let's not talk about him for now.

The last Liu family among these four major families is also quite large.

The Liu family is a branch of the Liu family in Guangzhou City above. They have been living in this county for more than 20 years. In addition to the shops with about a quarter of the Tan family's industry, they mainly operate an iron ore in the nearby mountains outside, which continuously transfusions blood for the Zong family!

This Ma family is a local landlord.

I don’t have a big background, but I just have some business practices. I have been very good at doing things for generations. I am the best-known locally.

It is a habit for most people to chat about the family issues of these wealthy families during meals.

Shao Cheng's inquiry did not attract much attention.

But... what others don't know is... Shao Cheng's inquiry was about the intention of temptation! And he had already planned a plan in his mind!

...

As the saying goes, the four essential conditions for practicing Taoism - wealth, law, partner, and earth!

The first thing to do is wealth!

Although Maoshan Technique has a way to practice it, it is rich and easy to do things after all! So after learning Taoism from Xu Zhenren, Shao Cheng is now looking for the "wealth" that is at the brunt of it!

This time, Shao Cheng didn't plan to make soap as slowly as he did in Huang Feihong's world last time.

Besides, this is just a small town, not Foshan, and it is not suitable for that kind of business.

After thinking about it for the past few days... Shao Cheng decided to cooperate with his Taoist technique and prepare to "steal the sky and exchange the sun" to directly swallow the property of those bullies who are unkind and use it for practice!

In this investigation, among the local tyrants of the four families, the Ma family has no bad deeds and is inconvenient to start.

And the other three companies... have a lot of bad records! Each has its own merits!

The Liu family started a mine and found that there were many accidents. The dead man just threw him into the ravine and fed the wild wolf. Some family members once came to make trouble, and the Liu family hired someone to sell his legs and threw them on the street. It was hateful!

Needless to say, Mr. Tan is the most disguised hypocrite in the town. He is kind to others on the surface, but in fact he is cruel and ruthless! It is not the first time he has done seducing a poor wife! It’s just that he has too many thoughts and it is hard for ordinary people to notice. After the end, he often spends money to block the mouths of those women.

From no matter what aspect, these women cannot tell others.

But when he arrived at Zhang Dabang, he suddenly went home, causing Mr. Tan to escape in a panic and threw away a shoe... Although Zhang Dabang's wife was not a fuel-efficient lamp, she covered up the past. But Mr. Tan, who was afraid that Zhang Dabang would discover this, hired Qian Zhenren and bribed the yamen runners and tried to kill Zhang Dabang.

Just based on this, Mr. Tan is not a good person... If he kills him, he will kill him.

As the largest landlord in the town, the Bai family is not a good cake. From the first generations of people who have been rampant in the countryside, killing people at all times, to now treating tenants harshly, countless poor people have been forced by them over the years! There are many things like selling children and women falling into **.

Shao Cheng naturally had no burden when such a landlord and evil gentry killed him.

...

After practicing for a few more days, Shao Cheng began his own actions after learning the "Ecstasy" in Maoshan Technique.

He bought a small official in the yamen responsible for the household registration files of officials and bought the birth dates of several families. After Shao Cheng returned home, he began to open the practice!

It is not a battle against ordinary people, so there is no need to use a high-level magic platform.

A wooden table, a yellow paper peach wood sword in the incense burner, holding a soul-catching bell, and tying a straw man.

He pasted the yellow paper with the name of the Bai family and the birth date and horoscope written on the head of the straw man.

After a stick of incense was inserted, and the fireworks were scattered, Shao Cheng chanted a few words - he had already recited the memorable ecstasy mantra that he had already recited repeatedly. When he recited it for the third time, Shao Cheng pinched his fingers and pointed a little at the head of the grass man!

Bang—!!!!

With Shao Cheng's point, the yellow paper on the grass man's head burned with a "bang" and instantly turned into a ball of black smoke!

Looking at the grass man again, there was a layer of curved and strange patterns on his body, which was black and red, which gave people the illusion of a trance.

However, Shao Cheng recognized that this pattern was the "Evil Talisman" he drew on yellow paper.

At this time, the yellow paper was burned out and the runes were spread on the grass man again, which proved that the casting of the spell was successful! That Mr. Bai was already fascinated by his soul!

As long as Shao Cheng said and did whatever he said to the grass man, Mr. Bai would say and do whatever he did! After he woke up, he had no memory!

...

A few days later, a few big and small things suddenly happened in the town.

First, Boss Shao, who bought a house in the town half a year ago, suddenly came back and had a secret talk with Mr. Bai for a morning and bought three hundred acres of fertile land at the Bai family for 100,000 taels of silver.

Then, this person spent money to buy industries in the county - shops, restaurants, inns, tea houses... As long as the industry that Boss Shao is interested in, he would buy it with real money!

Many people saw Boss Shao and his friends directly smashed the shopkeepers and bosses with a lot of money and bought those industries.

So, no one doubted the financial resources of Boss Shao, who came from somewhere else.

Half a month later.

However, the Bai family suffered a disaster! A sudden fire rose up! Turning the entire Bai family into ruins!

Although no one else died except Mr. Bai who might have failed to come out because he was too old, the fire seemed to have almost completely burned down the property of the Bai family! In particular, the tens of thousands of taels of silver notes obtained after the transaction with the new boss Shao, whom his sons were most concerned about, turned into ashes and did not even see any shadow!

Since then, the Bai family has fallen to the bottom!

Fortunately, Boss Shao took action at this time and said that he had hit it off with Master Bai at first sight, so he rescued the Bai family and gave him a house for the Bai family to live in.

Although the conditions are naturally not as good as the original Bai family mansion, at least it avoids the dilemma of falling into the streets.
