Chapter 42: System Upgrades
Under the gentle breeze, Leng Hongyu accompanied Qi Guanyan back to Binxiang Building again.
As soon as they arrived, Yun Qi and Qi Qi threw the three of them into the door.
The sudden movement frightened the guests of Binxiang Building.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't this a stick slave? How did he die?"
"Who are you? How dare you make trouble in Binxianglou?" the steward came out, raised his hand and pointed at Leng Hongyu and the others.
Qiqi snorted coldly: "I still want to ask you what Binxianglou means! Our master and servant just played a few games in Binxianglou, and lost five taels of silver, but as soon as they went out, they were followed by these three people, do you Binxianglou think we have lost too little?"
"Nonsense, when Binxianglou opens the door to do business, what is important is a reputation, and the bet has always been autonomous, how can what you said happen?" the steward immediately retorted.
"You're denying!"
Steward: "Girl, pay attention to evidence in everything, if you have evidence, take it out, if you can't show it, then you are the slave who killed my Binxianglou for no reason, I'm afraid we have to settle this account." ”
"You ......"
Leng Hongyu raised her hand to interrupt Qiqi, she looked at the steward with a light smile: "You said that he is your slave of Binxianglou, is that right?"
"That's right!"
"Then let me ask again, he has to work today, right? Don't you say no, I just came to Binxianglou, and I believe that many of the guests who came today have seen him, yes or no?"
The steward stared at Leng Hongyu, always feeling that he couldn't nod his head, but looking at the reactions of the surrounding guests, he could only nod and say, "Yes!"
"Since you said yes, then you are embarrassed to say that he did not follow us? Since he is a slave of Binxianglou, shouldn't he greet guests in Binxianglou at this time? However, not only was he not in Binxianglou, but we threw him back, what does this mean?"
Without waiting for the steward to respond, Leng Hongyu suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "That means that they weren't in Binxianglou just now? Why wasn't he there? That's because he has been following us, they tried to get involved in my family's Qiqi, and we killed him, this is the truth, I don't know if there are any objections to these words?"
"This ......"
The steward was about to say something, but at this moment, the people present began to talk.
"That one named Qiqi is so beautiful, if it were me, I would have a bad heart. ”
"But no, they must have seen two women, who were weak and weak, so they wanted to bully others, but they were not vegetarians. ”
"Did you find it, it seems that the third son is following the fat woman!"
"Really, in this way, this big fat girl is Leng Hongyu?
"Those who dare to touch the Thousand Kings' Mansion deserve to die. ”
......
The steward wanted to refute, but everyone's words silenced him, he looked at Leng Hongyu and then at Qi Guanyan, his eyes flashed with a gloomy look.
"Since the girl said that, I have the right to be a slave, the three of them are wrong, a few slaves are not worth a few dollars, and they will die, but our Binxianglou's face is not something that anyone can beat, you are making trouble today, you know or will say that you are merciful to Binxianglou, but you don't know?
"According to what you say, you Binxianglou want to settle accounts with us? But I want to ask, how should our accounts be calculated? Can the face of our Qianwang Mansion be trampled under the soles of our feet at will?"
Leng Hongyu moved out of the Qianwang Mansion, and the steward immediately had a black face, a Binxianglou, a Qianwang Mansion, talking about face?
Whose face is heavier than the Thousand Kings' Mansion?
If Leng Hongyu hadn't moved out of the Thousand Kings' Mansion, the steward would have the right to be ignorant, but once his identity was brought to the fore, Binxianglou could only back down.
Moreover, he knew his own affairs, and the steward knew better than anyone why Nuduo died.
"What do you want?" asked the steward with a cold face.
Leng Hongyu didn't answer immediately, but looked at Qi Guanyan, who opened his mouth and said: "The person belongs to your Binxianglou, and the responsibility is naturally borne by your Binxianglou, my wife was scared because of a slave, you must apologize." ”
“......”
There was a black line on people's foreheads, and their hearts were speechless.
The third son's ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense is too powerful, his mouth is the Tao, and every sentence is reasonable, is this still a manifestation of the six gods without a master?
If she had six gods, wouldn't all the clouds in the sky have been lowered by her?
But Leng Hongyu even moved out of the Qianwang Mansion and the Third Prince, what can the steward do?
So whether it's right or wrong, this loss to Binxianglou is a certainty.
At Leng Hongyu's request, Bin Xianglou not only apologized verbally, but also compensated Leng Hongyu with 10,000 taels on the grounds that he needed to suppress the shock.
Out of the gate of Binxianglou, Leng Hongyu immediately counted the money and grinned: "This money is really easy to make, I knew that they were so refreshing, I would have asked for more." ”
Qi Guanyan shook his head helplessly: "You, 10,000 taels will be bought, be careful of falling into the eyes of money one day." ”
Leng Hongyu glanced at him and put away the silver ticket: "Do you think I did it wrong?"
"It's not right or wrong, it's just that you're doing the same thing. ”
Leng Hongyu shook his head: "Wrong, I didn't let the tiger return to the mountain, just out of helplessness, think about it, we have no evidence, even if the bodies of the three slaves are in our hands, but the dead man will not speak, since this is the case, then why don't I pit him?"
Anyway, you can't take Binxianglou, and there is no reason for Leng Hongyu to refuse to leave the door with an extra income.
The corners of Qi Guanyan's lips outlined a shallow arc: "Okay, what you say is reasonable, but in fact, things can be simpler, have you ever heard such a sentence?"
"What words?" Leng Hongyu asked.
Qi Guanyan chuckled mysteriously: "The Thousand Princes' Mansion is always the truth, if I say that they assassinate me, then they are assassins, if I say that I have lost the things on my body, then they are thieves on the beam." ”
Leng Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he gave him a slap: "Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier? If you said it earlier, I would definitely die and miss a chance to make a fortune in vain." ”
“......”
Qi Guanyan stroked his forehead, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
This woman......
What should you reflect on, didn't you take down Binxianglou?
Even complaining about missing the opportunity to make a fortune?
This brain turn is also absolute.
Back at the Thousand Kings' Mansion, Qiqi made a cup of tea for Leng Hongyu: "Master, in fact, the third prince is right, you really complicated things." ”
Leng Hongyu smiled slightly: "You want to say that since Binxianglou is suspicious, and they did send people, we should take them down immediately, right?"
Qiqi nodded, but Leng Hongyu shook his head: "Qiqi, you have to remember that you have to pay attention to evidence in everything, and we must not wronged anyone without evidence, Binxianglou is worthy of suspicion, but can you be sure that this matter was done by Binxianglou?"
Leng Hongyu said with a slight pause in his voice, and said: "Binxianglou operates many ways, although there is a slave market, there are also other businesses, where you can eat, you can also let people rest, in this way, Binxianglou has complex personnel, what if there are more than three slaves just collect money to do things for others? So I don't want to do it without conclusive evidence." ”
Qiqi: "I understand, no wonder you just cheated on them, it turns out that you are worried about regretting it afterwards." ”
Leng Hongyu chuckled faintly: "Some things don't have to be done irreparably." ”
Of course, there is another sentence that Leng Hongyu didn't say, that is, once confirmed, the offender will return a tooth for a tooth and return it a hundred times.
"Cold Red Fish, you come out for me. ”
There was a roar outside, and Leng Hongyu frowned slightly, motioning for Qiqi to go and see what was going on.
But before Qiqi could move, the owner of the voice had already broken in: "Leng Hongyu, you poisonous woman, why did you kill my daughter? Where did she provoke you? You are so ruthless?"
The person who came was Steward He, He Qiu's father, presumably the matter of Leng Hongyu and He Qiu's 'enmity' had reached his ears, and this was the Xingshi's questioning.
Leng Hongyu twisted his eyebrows and said coldly: "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't kill the person, and besides, she was the one who killed the person, you can ask the third prince for confirmation of this." ”
"Impossible, Qiu'er hasn't even stepped on an ant since she was a child, how could she kill someone, you are slandering, you are shirking the crime, you killed her for one reason, just because Qiu'er had no intention of breaking into your cabin that day and disturbing your rest, right?"
Leng Hongyu snorted coldly: "Your imagination is too rich, it's a pity not to be in charge." ”
Steward He didn't know what home was, but it didn't prevent him from seeking justice for his little girl.
"I don't care if you are the third lady or not, I'm not afraid of death, anyway, I'll be left alone, I'm not afraid of death, but I must kill you to avenge my family Qiu'er." ”
After that, Steward He didn't know where to pull out a dagger and rushed directly towards Leng Hongyu.
Leng Hongyu was startled, and was about to retreat, and Qi Qi was about to make a move, but at this time, Qi Guanyan heard the news and hurried over: "Steward He, stop!"
"Third son, don't stop the old slave, the old slave knows that it is impossible to escape the death penalty for killing her, but the old slave is not afraid, the big deal is that the old slave will pay for her life, but my Qiu'er died innocently! ”
"Enough!"
Qi Guanyan shouted: "If you really want to do it for He Qiu, you shouldn't do it, and the beginning and end of the matter is not what you know at all, Leng Hongyu is innocent in this matter." ”
Steward He was stunned for a moment, but when he came back to his senses, he cried: "Third son, the old slave knows that she is your wife, and you understand to her old slave, but is it because of Qiu'er's humble status, does she have to die with grievances?"
That person was right, Leng Hongyu is the lucky star of the Thousand Kings Mansion, and he is also the lucky general of Qi Guanyan.
Leng Hongyu married into the Qianwang Mansion, and Qi Guanyan's appearance of a wife was broken, such a person, even if Leng Hongyu was extremely ugly, the Qianwangfu was willing to raise her unconditionally.
But is it because of this that his daughter died in vain?
But what can he do as a minion?
Steward He was resentful and dissatisfied in his heart, resentful of the injustice of the world, but Leng Hongyu was protected by an official face, and he really couldn't do anything.
The matter of Binxianglou was handed over to Qiqi to keep an eye on, and she was also idle in the past two days.
On this day, Leng Hongyu sat in the plum forest outside the cabin, and said to Qi Guanyan without raising his head: "It's boring to stay in the house every day, is there anything fun?"
"Fun?" Qi Guanyan glanced at her: "You are a girl's family, a female red, playing music, dancing...... Forget that, you don't seem to be interested in any of this, what do you like?"
Leng Hongyu had long shouted to him that he was bored, and he also moved a lot of things from women's houses, but Leng Hongyu's reaction was different from that of ordinary women, and he threw out a sentence I won't throw it away.
"I like money!" Leng Hongyu replied without thinking about it.
“......”
The corners of Qi Guanyan's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a while: "I also like money, but this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with preferences, right?"
"Isn't it a hobby to like money?"
“......”
Don't you have any other hobbies?
Seeing that Qi Guan's face was silent, Leng Hongyu changed another way of saying: "Let's put it this way, how to make money the fastest?"
"Bet! If you win, you will 'earn' a lot, and of course, if you lose, you will lose a lot. ”
Hearing this, Leng Hongyu's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of it! Let's go, let's go to the casino, this girl, I want to be a gambling god today." ”
"God of Gamblers?"
Qi Guanyan looked at her suspiciously, but just happened to be okay and followed her.
Where is the biggest gambling house?
Of course, it is Mingyoufang, Mingyoufang is backed by Lisitang, and it is one of Li Qiansi's industries, if you can, in fact, Qi Guanyan doesn't want to come.
However, Leng Hongyu chose here, and Qi Guanyan had no choice but to follow her.
Mingyoufang is located in a manor house in the western suburbs, which is relatively remote but still bustling and bustling.
"There's a gambling house in town, I don't understand why you have to choose this place. Qi Guanyan stared at the plaque and said helplessly.
"Revenge!"
"What??" Qi Guanyan was stunned: "What do you want to do? You don't want to find Li Qiansi's hypocritical man desperately, right?"
"Hehe, I won't do that kind of price drop, besides, who said that you have to fight hard to beat a person? Haven't you heard such words? The silent pain is the most painful, you said that if I win back Mingyoufang, will our high-ranking prince roll on the spot in pain?"
"No!" Qi Guanyan said with certainty.
Leng Hongyu raised his eyebrows, and did not refute his words: "Mingyoufang is a place to make money, with a considerable annual income, but Li Qiansi is the crown prince, he is not short of money, this thing is indeed not painful for him, but it is enough to make him lose face and make him angry." ”
"So you're playing this idea, but can you win?" isn't it that Qi Guanyan wants to be suspicious, betting on this thing is very harmful, it's okay to win, but what if you lose?
Who can guarantee to win?
However, how does Qi Guanyan know that there is really a person who dares to win, who else can this person be if he is not a cold red fish?
Leng Hongyu has seen a thing in the system mall, that thing is called good luck, and every gamble will win.
This is also the reason why Leng Hongyu dares to boast.
Sure enough, when Leng Hongyu sat down at the gambling table, the money was rolling, and after a while, the table was full of silver, and there were two boxes next to it.
"Haha, it turns out that it's so interesting to gamble once in a while, it's really fun!"
Leng Hongyu smiled from ear to ear, and the casino dealer was much more nervous, and his hands and feet couldn't help but tremble.
It's too evil!
What to play and what to win, what to open, is this still a human being?
Compared with everyone's reaction, Qi Guanyan was speechless.
Is this called a small bet?
Still interesting?
Of course it's interesting! You won the money alone, isn't it interesting?
It's just that there is no one else in this bursting gambling luck, and even Qi Guanyan, a person who has never been short of money, can't help but be a little jealous.
"Steward, what should I do? If it goes on like this, Mingyoufang will be exported, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows, we will not be stripped of our skin. ”
The steward glared at the dealer angrily: "What can I do? Don't you see who the person following me is? That's the third prince Qi Guanyan, playing tricks in front of him? What is the difference between this and looking for death?"
"But if we lose, we will die too. ”
The steward frowned: "Okay, you watch here first, I'll go and report to His Royal Highness the Prince, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be the master!"
At this time, after receiving the message from the steward, Li Qiansi squinted slightly: "This is not like the personality of Qi Guanyan, what does that kid want to do?
"It doesn't count!"
"What do you mean?" Li Qiansi wondered.
The steward said: "The third prince is here with the third lady, and the person who wins the money is the third lady!"
"Poof~"
Li Qiansi's mouth squirted with tea: "No, what did you just say? Third Madam? That fat and ugly cold red fish? And she was the one who sat at the gambling table and won money? You weren't kidding me, were you? That ugly monster still has such a ability?"
The steward nodded timidly, isn't that her!
"Your Highness, the third lady's bet is getting bigger and bigger, almost all of them are doubled, and Mingyoufang can't stand it if it goes on like this!"
Li Qiansi's eyes flashed with anger, but then he shook his head again: "It's settled, a small gambling house loses and loses, I want to see if she has such a big appetite to eat." ”
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, Mingyoufang came to report it, saying that it was ......" The servant who reported wanted to speak and stopped.
Li Qiansi glared at him: "If you have something to say, what do you say?"
The servant hurriedly said: "Someone from Mingyoufang is here, they said that the third lady won Mingyoufang away, and asked if you want to take any measures." ”
Of course, this measure is not an ordinary measure, but to ask Li Qiansi if he wants to snatch Mingyoufang back.
Li Qiansi snorted coldly: "What other measures do you need?" They have all been taken away, are the measures useful?"
Lost and didn't admit it?
Isn't that a joke by Qi Guanyan's bastard, he can't afford to lose this face.
......
"That's it?"
Although he knew that he was super lucky, he was a little surprised to take away someone else's gambling house like this.
Qi Guanyan was also a little unable to come back to his senses, but he was relieved when he thought about it: "He can't do this kind of thing if he loses and doesn't admit it, and he can't afford to lose face." ”
Leng Hongyu smiled: "I see, this is the thing!"
"Mingyoufang is yours from now on, what are you going to do with it?continue to operate?or close it?" asked Qi Guanyan.
The gambling house is a place to make money, and you can keep it, but gambling on this thing is harmful after all, and Leng Hongyu is considering whether to change careers and do other businesses.
"That's it for now! I will plan for a good way out in the future. Leng Hongyu said.
Xiao returned victoriously, Leng Hongyu looked at the three boxes of silver, and asked in his heart: "Lord God, I have the money, but I lack a way, or you keep giving me a hint, how can I quickly develop my own power?"
"You don't have enough money to feed the mosquitoes. ”
"......" Leng Hongyu was speechless, so much silver, how big is it for a mosquito to eat?
"Lord God, you said that I should build up my own power, but you didn't say how much power I wanted! This money is just the tip of the iceberg, will your old requirements be too high?"
You must know that the people in this world are poor, even if they buy some stick slaves who know some martial arts, these boxes of silver can buy more than a hundred.
However, these do not seem to meet the requirements of the system.
"There will only be more and more people who want to kill you, and if you are not afraid of death, then you can ignore it. ”
"You're not going to thunder me, are you?" Leng Hongyu cared about this.
"This god can not split you. ”
That's good!
Leng Hongyu smiled, but soon, the smile froze on his lips.
The system continued: "Switch to electric shock!"
The cold red fish is like a frosted eggplant: "Okay! I will try hard in the future!"
"Good!"
In the early morning, the sun was shining, and Qi Guanyan got up early in the morning, but as soon as he walked out of the door, something strange happened.
"You said this is for Leng Hongyu? Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Qi Guanyan looked at the invitation in his hand, puzzled in his heart.
This invitation was sent by the Mu Fu, saying that it was to invite Leng Hongyu to participate in the birthday banquet of the Mu Lao, but who is the Mu Lao?
That's an old lady doctor who even the emperor praised.
Of course, these are not the point, the point is that the two people who can't beat the eight poles, the old man actually sent an invitation to Leng Hongyu, isn't it strange?
"Take it to her!" Although he thought it was incredible, Qi Guanyan didn't deduct it.
Yun Qi answered and left.
After receiving the invitation, Leng Hongyu just lazily raised his eyebrows: "Acting so quickly? ”
Through the identity of the fisherman, Leng Hongyu and the priest are on the line.
Thinking of the identity of the priest and He, Leng Hongyu also had a clear plan in his heart.
A retired old lady doctor who has served in the Taiyi Department for many years, and a 'drug dealer' who has countless miracle drugs in the system, the meeting between the two may be destined, and Leng Hongyu has already thought of another way to make money.
If there is anything that people in this world are most afraid of, it is birth, old age, sickness and death, no matter who can avoid this catastrophe, death has become people's fear, so the best money in the world is probably medicine money.
Sick people have to see a doctor, and to see a doctor, they have to take medicine, and she lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of medicine, especially today.
Early this morning, a message came to the system that the system had been upgraded.
The upgraded system has a function, that is, to exchange money for points, five taels of silver for one point, which is not expensive, but it is not cheap either.
Based on the calculations of this world, if you exchange silver for points, and then exchange points for pills, then the amount of silver required is about seventy-five taels to one hundred and fifty taels.
Most of the people can't afford this number, so Leng Hongyu's final idea is to complete the task, which is the real way to make money.
As the third prince of the Thousand Kings Mansion, Qi Guanyan naturally received an invitation from the pastor, but just as he was about to go out, he reported that there was something that Qi Guanyan needed to deal with, so Leng Hongyu had to go over first.
Afterwards, Leng Hongyu went alone, and when she came to the pastoral mansion, there were already many guests seated.
Seeing Leng Hongyu, a woman dressed in red immediately snorted coldly: "Who is this person? Even if he looks ugly, he is dressed so casually, doesn't she know that this is the birthday banquet of the old man? It is simply a shame for the old man." ”
famous, the woman next to the woman in red said: "Why should Sister Lin be as knowledgeable as an ugly monster, maybe it is the slave of a little master, compared to this kind of person, it is simply the identity of Sister Lin." ”
The woman in red looked up proudly: "Also, look at her clothes, as well as the old style from a few years ago, I think the master didn't throw it to her." ”
Knowing that they were talking about themselves, Leng Hongyu looked down and said in his heart, it seems that it is really time to change clothes!
These clothes are good, but they are not very good.
In fact, too, the cold red fish was not favored in the past, and she was bullied everywhere in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, where did she get the money to buy these luxury goods?
But people are like that, sometimes you don't cause trouble, but there is always something haunting you.
No, seeing Leng Hongyu walking past them, the woman in red suddenly stretched out her foot, and Leng Hongyu didn't pay attention to it for a while and fell.
If it's just an ordinary person or nothing, the big deal is that it hurts, but the two hundred catties of meat of Leng Hongyu will be miserable......
