Chapter 488 Zhang Lao tells a story
After everyone received their tokens, they either left together or left alone, and soon, there were only three people left in the Youluo question library: me, Wang Ziyun and Mr. Li.
So...... Let's have a wave of dividing lines...... Can you make up for the backward progress tonight? Wait and see......
…… The following will be updated in the coming hours......
Think about it carefully, yes, what can you do with Wan Wuhua?
He did steal the token, but in the final analysis, this token is just a prop used in the game, or his own thing, let alone sending it to the yamen, and he can't even violate the house rules.
"If the fourth prince takes a few tokens or something, of course it's not a problem." I smiled and said, "It's just that once this matter is revealed, I'm afraid that Venerable Master's plan will be affected somewhat, right?" ”
Wan Wuhua's face changed suddenly.
"Fourth brother!" Hearing me say this, Wan Invincible stood up with a calm face. "Although people who practice martial arts pay attention to respecting teachers, but after all, your surname is Wan, what should be done and what should not be done, you always have to weigh it in your heart."
Wan Wuhua was silent.
"Xiaohua, it's all my own family here, if there is anything big to say, let's discuss it." Luo Ziyan said softly.
"What a family member." Wan Wuhua sneered, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth of the matter - that's right, it was indeed my master who ordered me to find a secret treasure in the Youluo Emperor Palace, but the news that my master gave me was very vague, I only knew that this token was the key to open the secret treasure, but I didn't know how to use this key and where it should be used." ”
"Is this secret treasure you are talking about......" After listening to Wan Wuhua's confession, Old Man Zhang Dongzhang's eyes widened in surprise. Could it be the legendary Cursed Treasure? ”
A cold wind blew from nowhere, and everyone shivered.
"What cursed treasure?" I asked curiously.
"It's a rumor." Tong Sanye said, "It's not right, it's actually just a conjecture." ”
"There must be a reason for the wind." Disease-free road.
Looking at the situation, all families know about this 'cursed treasure'.
"Let's hear about it." I said.
"It's no secret either, just say it." Tong Sanye said, "But the technical work of storytelling has to be handed over to Old Man Zhang." ”
"Then I'll say a few words." Old man Zhang was not humble, and took out a smoking gun from behind him, plugged the end of the cigarette, and took a few puffs of it.
"Regarding the matter of the cursed treasure, in fact, it has only come out in recent years, and I don't know who mentioned it first, saying that our Wanzi Wanda officials secretly discovered an ancient treasure without hiding from the Chamber of Commerce and the family.
As the so-called wealth touches people's hearts, those who have good things will take this to ask Wan Da Guan, and the answer they get is very simple: no! Rumor!
It's funny to say, human psychology is like this, the more you say no, the more others doubt it, and the more they want to tempt.
As a result, one day, they really tried it out.
How did you find out?
It is said that he spits the truth after drinking, and that day, while Wan Daguan was drunk, someone asked him about the treasure again.
And guess what?
Wan Da officials looked up to the sky and shouted: What treasure is there in this world? Curses, all curses!
Do you understand this?
The treasure does have it, but it can't be used because there is a curse.
The fame of the cursed treasure has spread throughout the 10,000-word number from this day on.
Of course, as the head of the Wan family, the president of the Wan Zi number, no one dares to fight the idea of the Wan Da Guan, even if he swallows a treasure alone? The net worth of Yuzifang is originally a huge treasure.
So after the cursed treasure was passed on for a while, it gradually faded away.
But at this time, there was a business war that may be the most terrible in the history of Wanzihao - the Shen family in the north came over.
Seize the source of goods, cut off trade routes, grab customers, raise prices, and suppress the monetary ......
The Shen family has used all means, and our Wanzihao lost the first game without defense, and once it loses its opening advantage, the consequence is that it will be defeated and unable to turn over.
The result of this business war, everyone knows: we lost badly.
Some people estimate that in that business war, just one million officials lost 300 million taels of silver.
300 million taels, that's not just turnover, not a string of numbers on the books, but real money!
If you don't pay it off as soon as possible, the interest alone will be tens of thousands of taels every day.
To put it mildly, it's to the point where you have to pawn your pants.
At this time, some people speculated, would Wan Daguan use the cursed treasure to pay off his debts?
Even if that treasure is not worth 300 million, since it can form rumors at the level of ten thousand officials, there should always be a value of tens of millions?
No.
It's not that the treasure has no value, but that Wan Daguan didn't take out any treasure at all, he just sold some surrounding industries one after another, and gradually repaid the deficit of 300 million taels of silver.
In the end, there was an unfortunate incident in the Happy Palace......
So people say that it seems that this treasure is really a cursed treasure, and Wan Daguan didn't dare to use it when he was dying. ”
The story of Mr. Zhang Dong and Mr. Zhang ends here.
I've also figured out some things that I couldn't figure out before.
It is no wonder that Wan Yushen, a big business, wants to risk his life to plot the treasury of the Happy Palace.
300 million taels of silver, not to mention killing the head, I'm afraid that even someone is willing to commit such a crime as the Nine Clans.
In fact, murdering the prince is a felony that can be connected to the nine clans.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziyun and I secretly glanced at each other.
Could the 'Three Seals' secret treasure we are looking for and Wan Yushen's cursed treasure be the same thing?
"It's possible." Wang Ziyun saw through my thoughts and said in a low voice.
But the three seals are already the key, what is the matter with this token?
"Maybe there are several doors, and you need a lot of keys." Wang Ziyun said again.
There is also a possibility that these stone tokens can only open the outer passage of the treasure, and the three seals are the key to the treasure.
Whatever the truth is, we have to find out what we need to do to find out.
"I have a proposal." I raised my arms and shouted, "Anyway, today's test is over—although it doesn't seem like there is an award—let's have a little activity to see who can find out the true purpose of the stone token faster." ”
"Compare to compare." Wan Wuhua responded immediately.
"There can be." Wan Invincible said, "I want to see with my own eyes what is so special about the treasure that can make the Ten Thousand Beast King so deliberately sought." ”
The rest of the people nodded their heads in agreement.
Curiosity is humanity's most powerful enabler!
