CHAPTER XVI
"It's been four months, and for such a long time, you can't do anything about him?"
Yan Wushuang patted the armrest angrily and asked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of her, there was also a subordinate who looked like a housekeeper, and said tremblingly: "Since Su Shen entered the Yuzhen Pavilion, he has followed the shopkeeper of Tang every day to learn the ancient history of cultural relics and the languages of the clans, no matter the wind and rain, he will definitely come on time, never be late or delayed, and never interfere in the affairs of the pavilion, everything will be handed over to the Tang shopkeeper, we are powerful." ”
"Haven't you tried anything else?"
"I've tried, but they may also know that Su Shen entered the Yuzhen Pavilion because of our efforts behind the scenes, so in the past few months, we have been cautious step by step, and we have sent more manpower and supervision in terms of procurement and treasury, and the accounts have been handled clearly, and they can't find mistakes, and they are willing to miss the opportunity and not fall into the trap we arranged. I sent several groups of people, and even took the fakes carefully created by Hong Wendong to sell, but they couldn't pass their inspection. It was a Qianhui Alley, there were officers and soldiers on duty, and we couldn't make a big move, so it dragged on until now. ”
Yan Wushuang's face was gloomy: "So I took the trouble to send Su Shen to the Yuzhen Pavilion, just to send him there to study?"
"Madame, be angry!" the man kowtowed like pounding garlic.
"A bunch of useless things!" Yan Wushuang stood up and scolded.
She took a few steps repeatedly, and the big red brocade skirt set off a wave of red in the hall.
Stopping after a moment, Yan Wushuang said in a gloomy tone:
"No matter how strict the defense is, it is formed by employing people after all. If you want to break the defense of the Jade True Pavilion, you still have to start with people. You haven't tried to buy some of them?"
The man replied, "I have tried, but it doesn't work much." In addition to Su Shen, there are a total of nine people in Yuzhen Pavilion, including three shopkeepers, one bookkeeper, two small workers, two maids, and one cook, each with a function. Since Su Shen came, he has made his rights and responsibilities clear, and he is not allowed to exceed them. A few days ago, we bought off a small worker, and the small worker took advantage of everyone's unpreparedness and stole into the warehouse. Unexpectedly, although Su Shen was blind but blind, he heard a strange movement at that time, called someone to come, grabbed the little guy, and beat him out without saying anything, and he was not hired. The little worker cried and shouted to tell the Su family that I was waiting to be bought, and finally had to buy him with another hundred taels of red gold and leave with his mouth shut. ”
"One hundred taels of red gold hush money?
The purchasing power of gold in this era is quite strong, one hundred taels of red gold, enough for the small worker to eat and drink for ten years.
The man replied with a sad face: "It's really not that we have a big hand, but that Su Shen is ruthless enough." And when he had seized the little worker, he said to him, "I don't want you to tell who the Lord is behind it, but only tell you, since you have done this for them, and you have lost your job, you should go to the other party to make amends." I suggest you ask for a hundred taels of red gold, and believe me, this money is nothing in order to shut your mouth. Of course, in order to avoid the other party from killing people, it is best to leave a few more back-ups, in case of death, the news will break out. In this way, the other party will not dare to kill you, so you can only give money...... That's it, the boy got an idea, and he came to us to ask for it. We wanted to kill it directly, but as Su Shen said, that kid had already prepared. We can't afford not to give it!"
Yan Wushuang was so angry that his whole body swayed.
It's good that you are Su Shen, and you actually taught the other party to knock on your own bamboo pole in turn. She failed to win the Yuzhen Pavilion, but was hurt by Su Shen and lost a lot of money, and she became more and more angry in her heart, and snorted angrily: "Have you tried those shopkeepers!"
"The shopkeeper of Tang Da is a person brought by Tang Hongrui from his mother's family, and he is loyal to the Tang family, it is almost impossible! The second shopkeeper Zhang Heng was promoted by the lord back then, and the third shopkeeper Lou Yi was personally promoted by Tang Zhen, and he can be regarded as loyal to Yuzhen Pavilion, and it is not easy to buy them......
Yan Wushuang said: "I heard that Lou Yi has a son who is addicted to gambling?"
The man replied, "That's true!" But Lou Yi obviously knew about this shortcoming, and he had been confined to his home during this time, and he was not allowed to go out. ”
"Can he be locked up for 100 days, but he can be locked up for several years? After a few months, it's almost time to relax. ”
"The little one understands, the little one will do it!"
"Go ahead, stop messing up. Yan Wushuang said in a gloomy tone: "No matter what, I will make Su Shen pay the price!"
If she was just trying to seize the industry before, then after being frustrated several times, Yan Wushuang, who felt humiliated, rose from a simple demand for interests to a point of hatred.
Even if it was just for revenge, she didn't want to let Su Shen go again.
――――――――――――――――
"Hah!"
In the sound of exhalation, the stele broke in response.
In the backyard of the Jade True Pavilion, Su Shen withdrew his fist, and today's cultivation ended here.
Learning from Tang Zhen didn't make him stop his martial arts practice, and Su Shen knew very well that the path of the Source Qi Warrior was his ultimate goal.
Not long ago, he successfully broke through the Forging Body Ninefold, and it can be said that he has already stood on the threshold of the Source Qi Warrior.
"There's still a year, and there's plenty of time. Su Shen muttered.
Every summer, it is the time for Qianlong Academy to recruit students.
Qianlong Academy can be said to be the highest institution of learning in Longsang Country, and Longsang has a lot of pride every year to break his scalp and want to enter.
Su Shen will be sixteen years old next year, and he will be in the year of enrollment.
If he could enter the Qi Induction Realm before this and become an official Source Qi Master, it would undoubtedly be of great help to him enter the Hidden Dragon Academy.
Over the years, Su Keji has continued to advance, just because he wants to help Su Qing create opportunities.
He also hoped that Su Qing would be able to enter the Qi Induction Realm before that.
And Su Shen has always refused to give up, also because he can't wait until his eyes recover before continuing to cultivate.
Then it will be too late.
Opportunity always favors only those who are prepared.
Originally, Su Shen was still worried about whether he would be able to recover, but now after confirming that his eyesight began to recover, his worries began to change from whether he could or not to when he would be able to fully recover.
The current recovery speed is still too slow after all.
Su Shen didn't want to be severely short-sighted when it came time for the assessment of the Qianlong Academy.
"I don't know if there will be a major breakthrough like the smoke snake step. Su Shen sighed.
Thinking of the smoke snake step, Su Shen suddenly thought that he hadn't seen Gu Qingluo for several days.
Gu Qingluo seems to be busy with something these days, and the number of times she has come to Houshan has decreased a lot, and it has been a month since the last time she met.
"I don't know what she's up to. Su Shen shook his head.
A thought arose in his heart, since Gu Qingluo didn't come to see him, why didn't he go to see Gu Qingluo?
Go and take care of Qingluo!
After this idea was born, Su Shen couldn't restrain the thoughts in his heart anymore and decided to put it into action.
Of course, he won't just be so reckless in the past, the Lin family and the Su family have never been friends, and the relationship between Gu Qingluo and Su Shen has always been a secret.
But this is not difficult for Su Shen.
