Chapter 309: The Thief (2)
Knowing that Zhong Hou's money bag was still there, Aunt Cai's eyes widened on the spot, and she said in surprise: "Could it be that the thief missed just now?" Uh, don't get me wrong, young man, I don't want your money bag to be stolen... Anyway, it's good that you don't lose it, young man, be careful here, thieves here are very rampant, as long as they meet a new face, they will attack. The young man looked at your face, and it is estimated that it is the first time to come to our Jiangyi City, and if you encounter this kind of person, you should stay away, so as not to lose your belongings. ”
Zhong Hou has never been to a big city, and he didn't expect to be met by him for the first time, I don't know if it's bad luck or bad security here.
But he didn't care, anyway, he didn't have anything to lose, so after thanking him again, he was ready to leave.
It's just that Aunt Cai stopped him again and said, "Young man, looking at your curious baby look, you shouldn't be familiar with this place, right?" Aunt Cai, I was born and raised here, where are you going, I can show you the way." ”
Seeing that Aunt Cai was so enthusiastic, Zhong Hou couldn't refuse, so he asked, "I want to find a place to eat first, I don't know which restaurant is the most famous restaurant here?"
"When it comes to restaurants, it's natural to count our Fenglailou here. Come, come, come ... I'll take you ... ”
"That's embarrassing. ”
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, our people in Jiangyi City have always been hospitable. And I'm idle, I'm idle, and a few steps are considered exercise. ”
"Then it's troublesome Aunt Cai. ”
"You're welcome... Come and go this way... ”
Zhong Hou was completely defenseless, thinking that the other party was really enthusiastic, so Zhong Hou shuttled through Jiangyi City under the leadership of Aunt Cai.
There was nothing to do on the road, and Aunt Cai began to ask Zhong Hou intentionally or unintentionally: "What is the name of the young man, what are you doing in Jiangyi City?"
Zhong Hou naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he casually said nonsense: "Actually, I am a businessman, and my ancestors made a living by selling medicinal herbs. However, the family has a rule that as long as you reach the age of sixteen, you must leave the family and return after five years. After returning, the family will allocate family resources according to the value you have created in the past five years. The greater the value created, the more support you can get from your family, and vice versa.
I had just left my family and found that Jiangyi City was very prosperous, so I was going to start a small business here. ”
As soon as the words fell, a hint of joy flashed in the depths of Aunt Cai's eyes, and then she looked like a jack-of-all-trades, and began to explain: "There are five major families in Jiangyi City, namely the Shi family, the Liao family, the Lin family, the Bai family and the Cai family, they are all high immortals, and they are not at the same level as us ordinary people.
The five families occupy the southeast, northwest, and middle of Jiangyi City, and their industries are all over all walks of life, and they are the veritable five overlords of Jiangyi City, and it is difficult for outsiders to get a piece of the pie from them.
Of course, it's not completely impossible, just take the place we're in right now. This is the Cai family's territory, if you want to do business here, you must first find a store here, and then apply to the Cai family, after the application is passed, you have to pay 30% of the turnover every month as a protection fee, even if it is some roadside stalls, you have to pay 10% every month. If you dare to violate this regulation, your business will be closed by the Huang family tomorrow if you open today, and you may lose your life. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Hou secretly spoke in his heart. Not to mention 30 percent, even if it is 10 percent, the profit involved is an astronomical figure.
It's no wonder that Jiangyi City does not collect city taxes like Anyang City, and people don't want to look down on that little money at all.
Zhong Hou followed the other party's topic and asked, "Then may I ask Aunt Cai, if I want to make a living here, how can I apply to the Cai family? What are the conditions for applying? Is there any way to guarantee that the application will be approved." ”
"If it were someone else, it wouldn't necessarily be able to help, but Aunt Cai and I happen to be a member of the Cai family, although it is only a side of the Cai family, and the relationship is very sparse, but if you want to apply for protection from the Cai family, Aunt Cai and I still have a little way. ”
"Then I'll ask Aunt Cai to take care of me. ”
"It's easy to say... ”
The two chatted all the way, and Zhong Hou didn't notice any small movements of Aunt Cai. Because he had already seen that Aunt Cai was just an ordinary person, there was no threat at all, and his attention was naturally not on her.
It's just that the road is getting more and more remote, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians, and the buildings around it are getting more and more dilapidated.
Only then did Zhong Hou realize that something was wrong.
As the so-called art masters are bold.
So Zhong Hou didn't debunk it, and was ready to see what the other party wanted
Half a day later, Aunt Cai took Zhong Hou to a dilapidated courtyard. This let Zhong Hou know that Jiangyi City is not full of high-rise buildings.
At this time, Aunt Cai suddenly turned around and said to Zhong Hou: "Young man, the place has been brought, are you casual and give some tea." ”
Zhong Hou knew that the main drama was coming, so he pretended to be very cooperative: "Aunt Cai has worked hard, it is appropriate to give some tea." But Aunt Cai, where is the Fenglai Building, why didn't I see it?"
Aunt Cai still had a smiling face and said, "Fenglai Lou is inside." Don't look shabby here, this is a major feature of Fenglai Building, you will know when you go in. ”
This kind of lie can't even be deceived by a three-year-old child.
Zhong Hou sneered in his heart, but said quietly on the surface: "Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Aunt Cai, please accept this little meaning." ”
After that, Zhong Hou pretended to dig it in his arms, and then took out two pieces of gold and handed them over.
The Sect Master Token can be directly connected to the fantasy world, and even living people can be accepted into it, not to mention other items, which can be used as a Qiankun bag.
Therefore, these two pieces of gold were naturally taken out of the sect master's token.
Because he was bankrupt by Xiao Ling's terrifying blow before, Zhong Hou actually didn't have a penny on him.
Because gold cannot be used for refining, it is the least valuable metal in the mall, and 1 energy point can be exchanged for a lot. However, all the energy points that Zhong Hou has earned back recently have been used to pay off his debts, so Zhong Hou still doesn't have a penny on him.
Therefore, these two pieces of gold were actually borrowed from Longshan.
Seeing Zhong Hou so refreshing, Aunt Cai was surprised and surprised at the same time.
Surprisingly, Zhong Hou was able to take out two pieces of gold so quickly, which shows that he is a rich man, and it is true that he is doing business nine times out of ten. And things are almost on the bright side, Zhong Hou didn't see the clues, proving that his brain is not easy to use.
Surprisingly, since Zhong Hou was a rich man, it proved that there must be more than two pieces of gold in his pocket. It stands to reason that such an obvious money bag, with the previous thief's technique, is absolutely impossible to miss.
But now it is clear that the thief has indeed missed, and Zhong Hou's money bag is still well hidden in his arms.
Aunt Cai would never have imagined that Zhong Hou would have such a treasure similar to the Qiankun bag. The Qiankun bag is very precious in the cultivation world, and generally only the strong people above the Star Mantle Realm have the financial resources to buy it, and only then can they have the strength to keep it from being coveted by others.
Of course, if Aunt Cai knew Zhong Hou's true strength, she wouldn't dare to do it.
