Remove the remnants of the table and make fragrant tea. Ling Yushi raised his glass and said, "Brother Li, try this? ”

Cheng Li didn't know where the West Lake was, and he didn't know what the Ming Dynasty Longjing was. He picked up the teacup and drank it in two sips. The taste seems a little weird, but it's impossible to say what's weird.

Cheng Li didn't care. Putting down the teacup, he asked casually, "Ling Yushi......"

"Just call me by my name, Rain Poem. ”

Ling Yushi interrupted him and said, "Actually, he used to ...... That's what we call me. ”

The word "we" was actually added by Ling Yushi temporarily. In fact, since she came to the Xia family, there is only one person who will call her like this. That is her husband, who died five years ago, Xia selfless, the son of the Xia family.

Although Cheng Li is a robber, he has not awakened to the spiritual ability. So what Ling Yushi thinks, he definitely won't know. Since she asked for it, it wasn't a big deal, and it didn't matter if she agreed. nodded at the moment and said, "Rain poem." In the past few days of my recuperation, you have been doing well, right?"

Ling Yushi bowed his head and said, "It's okay." The deceased of the Xia family have all been buried. The situation in the city is also roughly under control. The commander of the Mianzhou Guards stationed outside the city, Ma Si, also negotiated with me. Let's give him half of the business, and then the relationship with each other will be the same as before, and nothing will change. ”

Cheng Li said in a condensed voice: "This is good news. So there's going to be bad news next, right?"

Ling Yushi sighed and said, "There is indeed bad news, and there is a lot of it. The Yin Si Ghost Mansion killed Xia Wuji, Xia Wuxing, and Xia Wuself. The Iron Horse Gate and the Ginseng Gang are now out of the grasp of the Xia family and are ready to stand on their own. ”

Cheng Li didn't care and asked, "So what?"

Ling Yushi thought about it seriously and said with a wry smile: "Seriously, it's actually not very good. At most, it will reduce the income of the Xia family by a few percent. However, with the support of various industries in Mianzhou City, no matter how much the income is reduced, it will not be able to overwhelm us. But ......"

Looking at Ling Yushi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Cheng Li knew that he must have encountered a very difficult problem. He asked, "What's going on?"

Ling Yushi sighed: "In Mianzhou City, there is only one dart game, and that is the Fulin Dart Bureau. The chief dart head of the dart game is the second young master of the Xia family, Xia Wuji. It was also he who took the lead, and the seventeen dart bureaus outside the border realized the joint operation. All goods of all businesses outside the customs are transported by the joint venture dart bureau. ”

Cheng Li thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand." So what?"

Ling Yushi said: "Recently, the joint venture dart bureau has taken over a big business, and it wants to transport a batch of goods to Pearl Island in the east. This batch of goods is very important, so the owner of the goods paid a lot of money. ”

Cheng Li asked, "How much does it weigh?"

Ling Yushi said: "One hundred thousand taels of silver." Equivalent to one-tenth of the value of that shipment. ”

The world to which Cheng Li originally belonged has long since left no room for physical currency to survive. After being exiled into this world, he has been active in the wilderness again.

Even when he occasionally entered small towns, he had never seen anyone use silver to buy items. All buying and selling is enough with only copper coins. Therefore, Cheng Li has no idea what "100,000 taels of silver" represents.

Ling Yushi looked at her face, and already knew that Cheng Li didn't understand. She explained: "One tael of silver is equivalent to a thousand copper coins. "Like Xiao Ning and Xiao Chu, the monthly silver of the two of them is three taels. Master Fang's words, the monthly silver is three hundred taels. ”

Cheng Li kind of understood. He used to eat noodles in that town. A big bowl of rotten meat noodles is only sixteen wen. Three meals a day, thirty days a month, cost about one or two halves of silver. That's the math...... One hundred thousand taels of silver, enough for him to eat for several lifetimes.

Cheng Li asked, "So, there is a problem with the goods now?"

Ling Yushi sighed: "It was robbed." None of the 27 dart heads were spared, and all of them were killed.

There was such a big incident, and Xia Erye, as the chief dart leader, should have been in charge of him. But now that everyone is dead, of course he can't take responsibility anymore.

We searched carefully for a long time in the place where the darts were robbed, but we couldn't find any clues. The owner of the goods is urging again. Although it can be perfunctory for the time being, paper can never contain the fire. ”

Cheng Li frowned and said, "Isn't it okay to return the reward?"

Ling Yushi smiled bitterly: "No. According to the rules of the dart shop, after the goods are stolen, the dart shop will either compensate the full price, or go to find the goods back, there is no third way. ”

At this moment, even Cheng Li was a little in a daze. If the full price is paid, it will be one million taels of silver. It's an astronomical amount that can make people dizzy just by imagining it.

No matter how big the Xia family is, if they want to take out one million taels of silver at one time, they can't think it's possible. Even if they can get it, the Xia family will definitely break their muscles and bones, and if they can't get it right, they will go bankrupt directly.

In fact, the Xia family is bankrupt or not, and it has little to do with Cheng Li. However, as soon as he became the head of the family, he directly bankrupted the Xia family, which always made Cheng Li feel a little uncomfortable.

Moreover, the essence of robbery is to fight and destroy. Although Cheng Li doesn't like to kill, as a robber, he is eager to fight more fiercely, and he is eager to increase his power to get more awakening, but it is an instinct engraved in the depths of his soul.

He was able to kill twenty-seven darts at a time and rob all the goods worth a million taels of silver. This kind of thing is by no means something that ordinary people can do. The main messenger behind the scenes is definitely not simple, maybe he is still no less than the master of King Chujiang. In that case, a trip is not a big deal.

The thought turned, and Cheng Li made a decision almost immediately. He stood up and said, "Prepare a good horse for me, and find someone to lead the way." I'll go and see where the darts were robbed. ”

Ling Yushi also stood up and nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it." Tomorrow morning, we will be able to leave. However, it is best if this thing can be done. If you can't do it, don't force your brother. Big deal......"

Ling Yushi gritted her teeth vigorously and said, "If it's a big deal, I will compensate according to the price." One million taels of silver, the Xia family can barely get it. ”

Cheng Li shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm measured." By the way, how much time is there on the shipper's side?"

Ling Yushi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "According to the original plan, the delivery date will be after ten days. Before the deadline, things can be hidden. But if it's more than 10 days, then there's definitely no way. ”

Cheng Lijaw said: "Ten days is enough." So be it. I'll prepare first. ”

Ling Yushi knew. Cheng Li has a lot of secrets, and he definitely doesn't want to let people know about it. At that moment, let Cheng Li rest early and turn around and leave.

Cheng Li also returned to the bedroom, closed the door, and waved his hand. Silently, the bed was already full of more than a dozen firearms of all kinds.

He reached out and picked up one of them, and there was a faint hint of fire in the smooth and hard feel. It's as if the weapon knows it's about to be its turn to shine, so it can't wait to cheer.
