Chapter 114: Killing the Familiar
It's snowing heavily. This is the first snow in Baojiao County this winter. It didn't fall until the Chinese New Year.
inside the house.
Chen Ku sniffed with his nose, and after a while, he found several items that were closely related to the smell of Zhao Chuanzu.
One of them is Zhao Chuanzu's private seal.
There was also a pillow-sized sandalwood box. Chen Ku opened it and saw several porcelain bottles stored in it. He opened it one by one and smelled:
"Two Qi-increasing pills, three Blood-producing pills, three Yuan-Yuan pills... These are all top-grade elixirs from the realm of inner energy. Each one is worth at least three to five hundred taels of silver. They are more powerful than ordinary medicinal herbs... ...Eight pills are equivalent to the eight 'Colorful Pearl Fruits' that have been taken before..."
Chen Ku understood that this should be Zhao Chuanzu's training 'ration', and he rummaged through the small box and found out more than five thousand taels of silver notes.
"I brought more than five thousand taels of silver when I went out, which is not too much."
He stuffed all of Zhao Chuanzu's net worth into his pocket.
But holding Zhao Chuanzu's private seal, he understood that this was the most valuable thing in the box.
With him, we can take advantage of the Zhao family's momentum.
At the same time, a sword was found in the next room, which was as sharp as blowing hair into pieces.
It can be regarded as a high-grade weapon, with ‘mixed steel’ added to it.
Some time ago, when he was repairing his iron and steel new dragon stick in the firewood and iron shop, he probably knew some of the classification of the quality of weapons.
Ordinary swords are just weapons.
If special materials are added, such as black sand, mixed steel, and iron mother, it can be regarded as a 'sharp weapon'.
On top of this sharp weapon is the master's water-fire faucet stick, which is called a "famous soldier", which refers to a top-notch weapon with such excellent quality that it is "famous". Some famous soldiers are even more famous than people.
As for the famous weapons, there are even more powerful weapons called divine weapons, which are completely unseen in Baojiao County.
"I thought too highly of Zhao Chuanzu. I originally thought that a young master from a wealthy family like him would have the kind of 'leather bear storage bag' that Master Sui has. It's a pity."
It can be said that Chen Ku has been thinking about this mysterious 'storage bag' since the day he saw Sui You put four balls of blood cells the size of a washbasin into a bag the size of a water bag.
Every time he changes his body shape, weapons and clothes are too troublesome.
If there is something with a storage function, it will save you the trouble.
Crunchy crunchy~~
Chen Ku walked out of the ruined house, stepped on the snowflakes, and said to Huang Muxia: "Okay, I'm going to trouble Chief Huang tonight."
"You're welcome, please."
Huang Muxia said something and led the way. Two quarters of an hour later, the two of them arrived at the Liangjiang Guild Hall in a carriage.
"How is Chief Huang's injury today?" Chen Kuzhuangruo asked unintentionally.
Huang Muxia's face was slightly gloomy and he said: "That old man Yang Luchan is indeed overbearing. If it weren't for Young Master Xie Shisan to help me take some of the pressure off, I would have broken at least three or four ribs with that stick."
"Deserved it."
Chen Ku said softly in his heart.
In fact, the reason why he wanted to become Zhao Chuanzu and follow Huang Muxia to the Liangjiang Guild Hall was because of his impromptu decision.
The original idea was just to prevent anyone from suspecting him of Zhao Chuanzu's death, but when Huang Muxia mentioned their friendship, his heart moved and he thought of taking advantage of this identity.
If you don't get some benefits for yourself, it won't be in vain.
Arriving at his temporary guest room, Chen Ku asked again as if he had no intention of doing so:
"I heard that Liangjiang Guild Hall can accommodate guests and make advances. I wonder if you can lend me some money temporarily?"
He wanted to see how much money the relationship between Zhao Chuanzu and Liangjiang Guild Hall was worth?
"Borrow money?"
Huang Muxia was slightly startled:
"With Mr. Zhao's wealth, do you still need to borrow money?"
"If it's a small amount of money, of course I won't open my mouth to Mr. Huang. I just can't hold my breath against Chen Ku."
Chen Ku covered his mouth and coughed:
"Although he is not here to assassinate me tonight, I can't spare him, but I can't attack him myself. It would be too conspicuous, so... I am going to put a high price on his life in the Gray Clothes Building."
"Huiyilou?"
Huang Muxia was slightly startled, and then said slowly:
"Then Chen Ku has already offered a reward of 10,000 taels of silver in Feiyi Tower..."
"How could it be possible to kill Chen Ku with ten thousand taels?"
Chen Kushizi opened his mouth and said:
"Chen Ku caused me to lose one hundred thousand taels. Instead of giving this money to him, it is better to use it to buy his life. As long as he dies, I don't have to give him the shop. I believe that money can move people's hearts. One hundred thousand taels is enough." Let the warriors from the third and fourth realms attack him and kill him."
"One hundred thousand taels?"
Huang Muchia was originally surprised that Chen Ku was worthy of such a high price.
But when I heard the meaning of "Zhao Chuanzu", it turned out that I didn't want to give it to the shop worth 100,000 taels that was lost to Chen Ku. I wanted to "witness the death of a person", so I used 100,000 taels to buy a murderer, but I didn't want to give it to Chen Ku either. .
Then he pondered for a moment and said:
"this……"
Chen Ku raised his eyebrows deliberately when he heard this and said: "What? With the reputation of Zhao Chuanzu and Gu Xiangmen, I can't temporarily spend one hundred thousand taels from the head of Huangmen? I just don't have that much with me. If you don't believe it, , I’ll print it privately here, just make an IOU.”
With that said, he took out Zhao Chuanzu's private seal.
When Huang Muxia saw this, although he agreed in his heart, he waved his hand: "My nephew, what are you talking about? Your face is only worth a hundred thousand taels. I will go back and say hello for this money. You can spend it in your account tomorrow." That’s it.”
"Then thank you very much, Uncle Shi." Chen Ku smiled and cupped his fist to express his thanks.
Seeing that it was late, Huang Muchia said, "My dear nephew, please rest early. Mr. Liang will probably be back tomorrow. By then, we will report to the official."
After that, he walked out.
I was thinking about what the young master from the ancient Xiangmen family said.
"Use one hundred thousand taels to reward a boy with inner energy?"
Huang Muchia sighed inwardly:
"It's true that if you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, and you don't feel bad if you betray your father, you can offer a reward to a master of the Four Realms Tongmai Realm for one hundred thousand taels. Young people are very angry."
People are in the Jianghu, and there are grievances and grievances when there are Jianghu.
For example, Yang Luchan from Yaowangtang, Li Yutang from Yulonghui, and Xie Shisanshao are all on the reward list of Huiyi Tower.
There are many people in this county who hate Huang Muxia.
In the Gray Clothes Tower, the reward for Huang Muxia was only 500,000 taels. Perhaps because the price was not high, no swordsmen or assassins dared to risk coming to the Liangjiang Guild Hall to assassinate him.
But who is he?
Then who is Chen Ku?
Even if some mysterious bloodline roots and bones have not grown up, the strength of the inner Qi realm is real...
Huang Muchia was thinking at this time...
After Zhao Chuanzu issued the reward of 100,000 taels, why not seize the opportunity and arrange for the experts from Liangjiang Guild Hall to directly take the order.
That's when.
After Zhao Chuanzu paid back the money, he could still make one hundred thousand taels in vain.
This business is actually quite easy to do.
Anyway, the rift between him and Yaowangtang is already very big. In addition, today he got a stick from that old guy Yang Luchan because of Chen Ku. If he kills one of the true disciples of Yaowangtang, he will not only vent his anger, but also make a net profit of 100,000 taels. What's the point? Not for?
[There is a Huang Muxia person who is malicious towards the owner of the picture...]
Chen Ku sensed the reminder of the change map in the house. He was excited and subconsciously wondered if his change had been exposed. He turned into a fox and marten and slipped through the crack of the door without hesitation.
But he waited outside the house for a long time.
Huang Muxia didn't even see any movement.
Suddenly,
I realized it later.
"Could it be that he is tempted by the reward of 100,000 taels that I made up just now..."
This was smoothed out.
He is the image of Zhao Chuanzu in front of Huang Muxia.
The reminder of the change map may be a reminder for his body.
But even so.
Chen Ku also didn't sleep much all night. In the early morning of the next day, he went to the account room of Liangjiang Guild Hall, took away one hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and ran away.
When Huang Muxia woke up in the morning, he heard a servant saying that "Master Zhao had taken away one hundred thousand taels" of silver notes.
He knew it well, so he didn't want to ask too many questions. He just asked: "Where is Mr. Zhao?"
Until I heard another sentence at the end:
"Master Zhao left the guest room early in the morning after taking away the money."
Huang Muchia frowned.
He had been in business for many years, and he could instinctively smell something amiss.
Then he asked subconsciously:
"When he paid the money, did he write a note?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhao stamped the note with his personal seal."
Huang Muchia breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Just have a note.
Not to mention that Zhao Chuanzu was either someone who couldn't afford to repay, or something was really fishy, he could still go to the Ancient Elephant Gate to collect debts with a note.
Huang Muxia smiled and warned his servants, saying:
"In the past two days, help me keep an eye on the changes in the bounties on some gray clothes upstairs, and send one to me every day. By the way, if Mr. Zhao comes back, he will tell me as soon as possible."
………………
"One hundred thousand taels!"
When Chen Ku held a thick stack of fresh and ink-scented banknotes and returned to his home, he looked at the large sum of money in his hand and had only one thought in his mind:
"No wonder there were so many telecommunications frauds in the past life. This trick of killing the familiar and killing the familiar is really timeless in any world."
Thinking of Huang Muxia and Zhao Chuanzu plotting against him, last night he actually thought about waiting until the reward was posted to assassinate him...
A faint smile appeared on Chen Ku's lips.
These hundred thousand taels can be considered as an apology in advance to Chen. When Chen reaches the fourth realm, no, the third realm... he will kill you!
Rao is so.
Having made a huge fortune still made him feel uneasy.
This amount of money was probably equivalent to Yaowangtang's half-month income from selling pills. He had a red mouth and white teeth and just opened his mouth and got it. He got it from the enemy. To be honest, I felt a little happy. .
One hundred thousand taels of silver was enough for Chen Ku to expand the Chen Family Railway Company four to five times in size.
But before Chen Ku could digest this.
After daybreak.
The 80,000 taels of silver promised by Xie Qingfeng of Chaitie Shop was also delivered in the form of silver notes.
"Our Thirteenth Young Master has said that his skills are inferior to others and he is willing to admit defeat. If there is a chance in the future, I will invite Young Master Chen to his small courtyard as a guest."
Chen Ku accepted Chai Tiepu's apology.
Listening to the visitor's words, I thought:
"Xie Qingfeng is an upright person. I guess he will be the head of Chaitie Shop in the future."
Thinking that I now have a huge sum of 180,000 taels, I estimate that I can buy more than ten or twenty shops. If all of them are converted into assets, I can probably become a "Chen Banjie".
But he didn't forget it either.
If you want to do such a big business, it is not enough to have money, background and hard power are the most fundamental.
How can a kid in the inner energy realm occupy half a street in Baojiao County?
Unless he is one of the top ten masters of Baojiao.
"Strength, capital, background, connections, and the means and secret recipes needed to do business are all indispensable."
The King of Medicine Hall, the Chai Tie Pu, and the Yulong Club can occupy a business and sell to other prefectures and counties. They rely not only on the large number of people and money, but also on the prescriptions of pills, the secret method of casting weapons, and the docks, which are never passed on and monopolized by patents.
But Chen Ku does not think that level is too difficult.
"I already have the means to control fire... I will have more abilities in the future. Give me time... Sooner or later I will be able to establish a force like the three giants in Baojiao County, and be the leader of Baojiao County..."
If that day comes, with the foundation of the county, even if he develops towards the larger world of Qiulong Mansion, he will not be bullied, and there will be industries to support him.
