Chapter 105: Xuan Jian sells himself
A few days passed in a hurry, Ye Chen was sitting in the courtyard drinking tea and reading ancient books, when the black and white Xuanqian came over.
After nearly ten days of recuperation, his injuries have improved a lot, and although his strength has been greatly affected, he can move freely.
Coming to the former's side, he said straight to the point: "I want to borrow money." ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen's face moved, what has happened in the last few days? One after another, people came to him to borrow money, could it be that they had committed some taboo to break the bank?
Then he said: "Don't forget, you are now my prisoner, and it is already good if you don't kill you, but you still ask me for money?" ”
"You give me money, and I will take care of you."
Xuan Jian said succinctly.
"You mean you're willing to be my bodyguard?"
Ye Chen asked.
The former replied expressionlessly: "One hundred gold, I will protect you for a year." ”
Ye Chen nodded: "Yes." ”
One hundred gold is not a small number for ordinary people, this amount of money is enough for a person's basic expenses for more than ten years. However, for a top killer like Xuan Qian, he can get a reward of hundreds of gold for any task.
And now this money can hire him for a year, which can be said to be very cost-effective.
And the innate strong are not able to move at will, if you are not interested, even if you are thousands of gold, you may not be able to take care of you. In the final analysis, it is still Xuan Jian who has the will to stay.
After getting the money, Hei Bai Xuanjian went out, and returned half an hour later, and also brought back several truckloads of food.
Seeing this, Ye Chen's heart was also a little puzzled, he didn't care about food, why did the other party buy so much food?
But it didn't take long for him to understand, and he saw an unexpected scene.
I saw that Hei Bai Xuanqian hired a few people, set up a shed and stove not far away, and even got two large iron pots. Then he started to make a fire and cook porridge.
Then someone put up a lot: "Soup porridge, one bowl per person!" ”
The sound of shouts and the smell of rice porridge intertwined and spread, and soon many people appeared in groups.
These people were dressed in rags, emaciated and sallow-faced, and they knew at a glance that they had not eaten for a long time.
Recently, I heard that there was a famine in Nanjun, and these people probably fled here.
"Line up, don't fight, don't grab!"
Several strong men maintained discipline, while the black and white Xuanjian picked up a big spoon and personally served porridge to these people, one after another.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but be surprised, he didn't expect that a net assassin who was murderous and feared countless people would now set up a tent to give porridge.
This is the nonsense of a heinous person who suddenly turns evil into a Buddha and becomes a Buddha.
Ye Chen expected that Xuan Jian would undergo a diagonal change, but he didn't expect the change to be so big, it was like a different person.
At this time, he also understood why the other party would ask him to borrow money.
Looking at the man in the porridge shed who looked cold, but was extremely serious when serving porridge, the corners of Ye Chen's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Although he is not a good person, he also yearns for beauty, and the other party's current appearance is much cuter than the previous awesome and coaxing killer.
More and more people gathered, and the whole soup soup process lasted for most of the day, until the last wave gradually left when the sun set.
Ye Chen walked over, looked at Xuan Jian who was buttoning up the lid of the pot, and chuckled: "I really didn't expect you to do such a thing." ”
"This is what I did for Xian Xian, she is so kind, she must not bear to see so many people starving."
Heibai Xuanjian replied, then looked at the former, and said, "Lend me another hundred gold, and the previous agreement will continue for a year." ”
When Ye Chen heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The one hundred gold I gave you earlier is enough to buy a thousand grains, isn't it enough?" ”
Xuan Jian shook his head: "I don't know why, the price of grain on the market is soaring now, and the price of one Hu has exceeded three golds. I spent 30 gold, but I only bought a dozen or so.
Today, I alone have consumed nearly two tons of grain in this area, and in addition to hiring some people to open a few porridge sheds in other places, it is estimated that I have almost consumed the grain I just bought.
And I'm afraid that more people will come to receive porridge tomorrow, and the hundred gold won't last a few days. ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen's heart was also slightly shocked, he had also heard the news of the rise in food prices before, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying, and it directly skyrocketed dozens of times. This doesn't give the people a way to live at all.
Then he said: "If the price of food is always so high, even if you sell yourself, it will be just a drop in the bucket." If you want to really solve the problem, you still have to deal with the root cause. ”
"What do you think?"
Black and white Xuanjian asked.
Ye Chen said: "It is impossible for food prices to rise so much for no reason, it should be that someone is secretly manipulating." You go and investigate what the hell is going on. ”
The former nodded, and then there was no nonsense, so he went to investigate.
An hour later, Xuan Jian returned, and at the same time brought a message.
"The recent food surge should be the Emerald Tiger."
Ye Chen nodded lightly: "Sure enough." ”
"You already knew?"
Xuan Jian asked when he heard this.
Ye Chen said: "If you want to manipulate food prices on such a large scale, you need to have huge financial resources. In South Korea, in addition to the royal family, only Yemu has this ability, and Jade Tiger happens to be in charge of money, so he is the most likely. ”
"I'm going to kill him."
The black and white Xuanjian said lightly, and an invisible murderous aura emanated.
Although he is willing to change himself for the sake of Xian Xian, it does not mean that he no longer knows how to kill.
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression moved, although this method is simple and rude, without any skills, but it also works, as long as the initiator is solved, the problem will be solved.
However, this approach will inevitably cause some trouble, and he still prefers to use his brain rather than fighting.
At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly thought of Han Fei asking him to borrow money and pit the Jade Tiger a few days ago. The timing of this incident coincided with the sharp rise in food prices.
Nine times out of ten, there is some relationship between the two.
And with Han Fei's temperament, it is impossible to sit back and watch the Jade Tiger do nonsense, it is estimated that it will not be long before he will make a move, and it is estimated that he will be able to pit this fat tiger so that he doesn't even have underwear left.
If he intervenes at this time, it will ruin Han Fei's plan, so it is better to wait a few more days to see what kind of means his junior brother has......
