Hong Xiao is really short of money now, even if he is not lacking, he will definitely not be too much money, this kind of money, he can take it with peace of mind.

Outside Cao Chengde's study, the alloy anti-theft door was not a threat to Hong Xiao at all, and a violent roundabout kick broke into the door directly.

This villa is where Cao Chengde has been entrenched for decades, and this study is the top priority of the entire villa, and almost all the good things are here.

All kinds of celebrity calligraphy and paintings, strange stones and treasures, there are more than a dozen pieces, which are placed on the shelves in the study, and they are the old guy's collection at a glance.

In this regard, Hong Xiao was not polite at all, and directly took down all these things, without looking at them, and found a bag to put them in.

After packing up these things, Hong Xiao did not leave, and in such a well-protected study, if there was no secret compartment or safe, he would not believe it.

Sure enough, after some searching, Hong Xiao found a secret door under the desk of pure mahogany.

This level of secret door may be difficult for others to find, but it is really not difficult for Hong Xiao.

After a few strokes with a handwrench, the dark compartment opened, revealing a safe inside.

As soon as Hong Xiao stretched out his hand, more than 1,000 kilograms of safe was dragged out by him with one hand.

"Alloyed?"

At a glance, Hong Xiao could see that this safe was made of alloy, and it was also a high-level password safe.

"It's useless to have a password!"

Hong Xiao really didn't know the password to the safe, but he didn't even think about opening the box with the password.

This kind of high-level lockbox, even if there is a key, cannot be opened, and must rely on fingerprints or iris, Hong Xiao is not in the mood to go down and carry the old guy's body again.

Placing the safe in the corner of the wall, Hong Xiao swept a whip leg on the door of the safe, and with a click, the all-alloy safe collapsed into a big hole, and the door also pressed out a gap.

Hong Xiao forcibly broke the gap with both hands.

Secretly smiling smugly, Hong Xiao saw a few things in the safe.

To Hong Xiao's surprise, there was not a large amount of cash in the safe, nor any gold and silver jewelry, only a few Wen Jiàn bags, and a sandalwood box.

It took so much effort to open the safe, Hong Xiao naturally wouldn't let go of these few things, and took them all out.

opened the first bag, and inside were some accounts and transaction records, all of which were records of some things that Cao Chengde had done over the years, and there was nothing special.

However, Hong Xiao saw something very special in the second Wen Jiàn bag, some of the characters involved above, but Hong Xiao was familiar with it three years ago.

"Hehe, these guys, it's really a nest of snakes and rats, and there is no good thing."

Hong Xiao put away the Wen Jiàn bag, and the things in it may come in handy one day.

Then, he focused his eyes on the sandalwood box.

"Hey, it turned out to be Xiaoye Rosewood, it seems that the things in here are amazing!" Hong Xiao said in surprise.

Rosewood microphylla, also known as sandalwood rosewood or madder leaf rosewood, is a plant of the genus Pterocarpus endemic to India, and they only grow in India.

The value of this thing is very high and scary, especially the small leaf red sandalwood full of Venus in front of Hong Xiao, which is priceless, and there is no market!

If you can make a box out of this thing, the contents must be very precious.

However, when Hong Xiao opened the box with anticipation, there were some things in it that disappointed him.

"What is this?"

Hong Xiao looked at the black rumbling stone-like thing in his hand, and was a little confused.

"This thing is a treasure?"

Although Hong Xiao tried his best to convince himself to believe it, it didn't look like a treasure no matter how it looked.

"Forget it, even if the stone inside is not a treasure, the box is not bad."

Hong Xiao casually threw the bag and box into the big bag, picked it up and walked downstairs.

When Hong Xiao went downstairs, the hall on the first floor had almost been cleaned up, the corpses were all carried away, and someone was cleaning up the blood stains and tidying up the furniture.

Zhang Feng was commanding everyone, and when he saw Hong Xiao coming down, he trotted to Hong Xiao and said respectfully: "Mr. Hong, from now on, my Zhang Feng's life is yours!" ”

Hong Xiao smiled: "Is your life valuable?" What do I want your life for? You better live for yourself! ”

"This ......" Zhang Feng couldn't say anything, indeed, his life was not worth anything to Hong Xiao at all.

However, he didn't want to let go of the opportunity to follow Hong Xiao, so he continued: "My Zhang Feng's life is definitely not worth much to Mr. Hong, but as long as I, Zhang Feng, live, go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, as long as Mr. Hong says it, I will not give up!" ”

"Well, that's a good sentence!" Hong Xiao liked the veteran in front of him a little.

Zhang Feng was able to rush over because of his words, and he also put all his net worth and life on him, which made Hong Xiao feel very comfortable. What's more, this guy is bold and careful, has a sense of advance and retreat, stresses righteousness, understands the rules, is not only powerful, but also has a head and a brain, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Zhang Feng, what are you going to do after you take over Cao Chengde's power?" Hong Xiao didn't care about these things, but decided to ask.

Mr. Hung ...... You...... What do you mean? Zhang Feng felt that Hong Xiao had an order and asked.

Hong Xiao thought for a while and said: "As soon as Cao Chengde goes, this area will definitely be chaotic, this is a challenge and an opportunity, sweeping a nearby area with a thunderous momentum and unifying this area!" ”

Zhang Feng said embarrassedly: "Mr. Hong, there is no problem in taking over Cao Chengde's forces, it can be completed in a few days, but it may be difficult to continue to expand." The underground forces in Mingzhu City are complicated, and when Cao Chengde was there, this area was still very peaceful, but he was gone, and it was difficult enough to deal with it, I'm afraid, there was no energy to expand the territory anymore. ”

"Haha, you guy, you still don't tell me the truth." Hong Xiao laughed, and immediately saw through what Zhang Feng said.

"It will definitely not be a problem for you to gather Cao Chengde's forces, if you encounter difficulties that cannot be solved, come to me, and I will help you solve them, so it's always okay, right?"

Without waiting for Zhang Feng to ask more, Hong Xiao pulled out a piece of paper, wrote down his mobile phone number, and handed it to Zhang Feng, "This is my mobile phone number, call me if you have something, but it's best not to disturb me when you're fine." ”

Zhang Feng hurriedly took the note, put it in the palm of his hand, and showed a hearty smile: "Mr. Hong said this, I have no problem at all, you can rest assured, in a month, I can definitely complete the task you gave me." ”

Hong Xiao nodded with satisfaction, "You can do the rest by yourself." ”

Zhang Feng listened attentively, did not dare to be disobedient at all, and once again expressed his loyalty: "Mr. Hong, it is still the same sentence, I will be able to use Zhang Feng in the future, and I will not hesitate to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire." ”

"Haha, I like such sycophants!" Hong Xiao patted Zhang Feng on the shoulder and walked straight out of the villa.

This trip came out, but it wasted a lot of time, and I don't know if Hong Yuyan and the others were in a hurry, so Hong Xiao hurriedly drove to the hospital.

Ten minutes after leaving the villa, when passing by a crossing, Hong Xiao shook his tail in a dashing manner, but he didn't expect that there was a person standing in the center of the road.

Thorn ......

In a hurry, Hong Xiao hurriedly stepped on the brakes.

After the car stopped, there was no one in front of him, and Hong Xiao hurriedly got out of the car.

He had already thought that it was likely that he had encountered a porcelain encounter, otherwise, with his driving skills, such a thing would not have happened.

Lying on the ground was an old man, who was about to struggle to get up, beside him was a pocket made of gray cloth, small and sealed. Seeing the old man, Hong Xiao wanted to help the old man up as soon as possible.

With Hong Xiao's help, the old man stood up with difficulty.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

"Ahem, lad, I'm fine." To Hong Xiao's surprise, the old man didn't touch porcelain, he moved his body, felt that there was no problem, and said, "Young man, don't worry, I won't lie to you, I'm fine." ”

In fact, Hong Xiao's car didn't touch the old man just now, otherwise how could the old man be so old that he could stand up, he was frightened by the car that suddenly came over and fell to the ground.

Hong Xiao's heart was hot, and he was moved by the old man's simple words. In these years, there are so few such old people!

"Uncle, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up." Hong Xiao can be sure that there is nothing wrong with the old man, but going to the hospital can ease the old man's heart.

"No, young man, I know my body, it's fine." With that, the old man picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

At this time, Hong Xiao noticed that there was a faint fragrance wafting in the air, which was the smell of Chinese medicinal materials.

In the pocket behind the old man, it must be filled with traditional Chinese medicine, and there is more than one.

Hong Xiao's heart moved, and he asked, "Uncle, do you have Chinese medicinal materials in your pocket?" ”

When it came to pockets, the old man looked cautious and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Hong Xiao hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't get me wrong, a friend of mine is sick and needs Chinese medicine to treat his illness, if your medicinal materials are of the right type, I want to buy some." ”

"What you said is true?"

"Of course it's true, sir, I won't lie to you."

As soon as he heard that someone wanted to buy his own medicinal materials, the old man couldn't care so much, so he directly showed the bag to Hong Xiao.

Seeing that the old man was an honest man, he believed Hong Xiao's words very lightly, if Hong Xiao was a bad person, he was afraid that these medicinal materials would be finished.

There were several boxes of different sizes in his pocket, and after opening the boxes, Hong Xiao opened his mouth in surprise.

What he saw, inside the seven boxes, there were actually two ginseng, four pieces of Ganoderma lucidum, and a piece of super large natural bezoar with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters.

Hong Xiao could see that ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum were wild, and the bezoar was also pure natural, such a large natural bezoar was extremely rare and valuable.

"Uncle, these are all good things of yours, worth a lot of money."

"Look at it, I also said it was a good thing, but those pharmacies said that these things were not worth much."

Hong Xiao was dumbfounded, knowing that those black-hearted pharmacies were pit old people: "Old man, in this way, I want all these medicinal materials for you, and I will give you a lot of money." ”

"Really?" The old man looked incredulous, "You really give me a lot of money?" ”

"Of course, these medicinal materials are very valuable, so let's take you home first, and then take the money to your house tomorrow to buy medicinal materials, do you think it's okay?"

After Hong Xiao and the old man agreed, they decided to drive the old man home first. And the simple old man also believed Hong Xiao's words.

According to the road pointed out by the old man, Hong Xiao drove to the old man's home, which is the poorest area of Mingzhu City, and the people who live here are the poorest people.

Hong Xiao was about to leave when he sent the old man to the door, but he didn't expect that there was a crackling sound in the dilapidated courtyard gate.

Someone causing trouble in the old man's home? Hong Xiao's heart slammed into his heart.
