The 'thorn' did not get rid of it, which made Zhou Qingfeng feel uneasy.

In order to do the panacea business with Zhou Qingfeng, Wang Kai promised to help get rid of the 'thorn'. He still works hard for this. On the third day of the agreement between the two parties, the housekeeper outside Wang Yuanwai came to the Lin Family Inn in the west of the city to contact the two sides.

This palace housekeeper is in his fifties, younger than Old Man Sun, but his face is generally old. After bowing to Zhou Qingfeng, he sat down and talked about the current situation.

"My lord personally went to Lord Li's house yesterday to help make peace, and made it clear that the past grievances between the two sides were written off. Master Li opened his mouth and asked Zhou Gongzi to take fifty percent of all the industry's dry shares, take stock once every six months, and the silver money handed over each time should not be less than 5,000 taels. Master Li will also send someone to take stock of the accounts at that time, saying that he will not suffer losses. ”

The palace housekeeper said plainly, but Zhou Qingfeng sneered. He held the table with his hand and tapped his fingers, "Fifty percent of dry stocks, no less than five thousand taels in half a year, Lord Li's appetite is really good." It is said that these corrupt officials are fierce and ruthless in exploiting the people, and today I finally realized it. I don't know how many dry shares does Lord Li want to take in the industry outside the king? ”

"My grandfather's family has a big business, and there are many industries in Fushun." The palace steward smiled bitterly and said: "We will give Master Li three percent of the shares, and one percent of the Chinese army's Lord Zhao Yihe, and in addition, the garrison Lord Wang Mingyin can't miss a point." Speaking of which, regardless of our profit or loss in a year, filial piety of 20,000 taels of silver is indispensable. ”

"These earth emperors are really rich."

"In the border area, the imperial court has to send millions of taels of silver over every year. The profit is distributed to each official, ranging from one or two thousand to more than one hundred thousand. In addition, there are countless filial piety of merchants, and this official guarding the border is more comfortable than the Beijing official. ”

"How rich is Li Yongfang?"

"Master Li alone has more than 50,000 taels of money in our Wang family's silver shop, and there must be silver in his house, and he has industries in Fushun and Shenyang. It is estimated that the total number will not be less than 100,000 taels. ”

"What about Zhao Yihe of the Chinese army?"

"More than fifty thousand."

The purchasing power of one tael of silver is equivalent to 500 soft sister coins, 50,000 taels of silver is equivalent to 25 million soft sister coins, and 100,000 taels is half a billion. This is just a guerrilla attack by the Chinese military officers and thousands of households on the border, and it is not in the Ming officialdom in terms of rank.

"He's so rich." Zhou Qingfeng sighed and said with a smile: "If Lord Li dares to ask for it, I will nod." But I want to be a patrolman,......。 ”

The palace housekeeper said straightly: "Master Li said, two thousand taels of silver, this official position will be sold to you." Filial piety is not less than five hundred taels every month, so that you are safe and sound. ”

Fuck corrupt officials with only silver in their eyes!

Zhou Qingfeng calculated, and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I want the post of inspector." ”

However, the palace housekeeper said: "This position is Zhou Shao himself?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng is only thirteen years old at the moment, and it is really difficult to get this position. He shook his head and said, "I have a Xuanfu man named Tan Feng under me, and I want him to take this position." ”

Zhou Qingfeng's strategy of employing people is actually that no one is available. The position of patrol inspection is very important for his future development, but his subordinates really failed to suppress the candidates on the field, so he simply let Tan Feng count it. The palace steward smiled and said, "Lord Li seems to have miscalculated." ”

"How do you say that?"

"Master Li thought that you wanted this position, and said that you would only be given this official position if you went to his house to kowtow."

Zhou Qingfeng's face immediately flashed with anger, but he forcibly suppressed it, and his anger turned into a sneer: "Okay, very good." It's really good that Master Li dares to think so. After a long pause, he asked, "Is there any progress in the pursuit of the 'treacherous thorn'?" ”

The palace housekeeper nodded first, but then shook his head and said, "The person hasn't been found yet, but he has lived in my lord's mansion for a few days." I called the servants who had served him and asked him. This man goes out day and night, and he easily does not show his true face, and every time he appears, a gust of wind blows. However, this person has a preference for food, and must eat steamed live fish at every meal. ”

"It's hard to find live fish at this time of year." Zhou Qingfeng said.

The palace housekeeper smiled: "It's freezing now, it's really not easy to eat fish, let alone live fish." In order to sell fish to him, my lord specially asked people to go to the Hunhe River to dig ice and fish. In the past two days, we have also sent people to find fishermen by the Hunhe River, and they said that dozens of families in the city have bought fish from them. ”

"Dozens?" Zhou Qingfeng frowned slightly, it was difficult to find such a large number of traces.

The palace housekeeper handed a piece of paper to Zhou Qingfeng, "The people who buy fish are all here, the fish at this time is precious, and those who can afford it are all big families in the city." We'll keep an eye on you, but it's hard to pinpoint where the Thorn is hiding. Zhou Shao still has to wait a few days. ”

Zhou Qingfeng nodded, but he didn't have the patience to wait forever. After the palace housekeeper left, Xu Bing came to him again, but provided another clue.

"On the day 'Thorn' was chased away by Flat Fur, there were a few pieces of torn fabric from his clothes left at the scene. We took these fabrics to local tailors, and they were quite special, not ordinary cotton and linen silk. I wondered if this material would be for cultivators, so I asked Flat Hair. Flat fur says it's a spider silk weave material that works with some kind of stealth technique. ”

"Spider Silk?" Zhou Qingfeng remembered that he had a batch of spider silk cloth flags in his hand, which had been cultivated for more than a hundred years, and they were extremely precious.

Xu Bing continued: "Although Fushun is a border wasteland, there are many cultivators who can make a living here. They traded a lot of items in private, and I asked Tan Feng to go to a fang market yesterday to inquire, and there were indeed people who were asking for this kind of spider silk fabric, and it was just a few days ago. ”

"Where are the buyers?"

"I don't know, Tan Feng didn't get any useful information. I only know that the person who wants to buy hides his identity, comes and leaves, and never appears again. ”

Zhou Qingfeng pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Private transactions between monks will not be recognized without the introduction of acquaintances. After all, bullying is the norm in this circle, and no one will trade with strangers. Tan Feng was a stranger, and he couldn't find any useful news. This matter has to be let to the flat hair, it is the subordinate of the great monk Guo Budo, and it is easier to gain trust. ”

In the past two days, Bian Mao has won a lot of money, and he has not come to pretend to be Han Gui. It bought a lot of refining materials, and it was easy not to come out when it returned to the Guo family's library. Zhou Qingfeng wanted to find this puppet bird for help, so he could only go to the bookstore to find it.

When I arrived at the bookstore, the door was not opened, and there was a wall outside the bookstore. Zhou Qingfeng smashed outside for a long time, and it was not until he threatened to set fire to the house that the flat hair flew out of it with a croak.

"What are you shouting? I'm busy. ”

"Have you finished refining your Gathering Stone?"

"It's close, it's close."

Zhou Qingfeng followed Bian Mao into the study room, the workshop behind the counter was even more messy than last time, but the refining array placed on the large table in the middle was larger and more precise than the previous time, and the materials on it emitted various glows, and the grade was obviously more advanced.

When encountering this kind of mysterious thing, Zhou Qingfeng always habitually opens his eyes. Only under the observation of the eye of heaven can all kinds of complicated items reveal their essence.

After pulling Zhou Qingfeng in, Flat Hair returned to the refining array and kept manipulating. There was also a thick book under its paws, Zhou Qingfeng flipped through it casually, and found that the title of "Creation Record" was written on the cover, and the title of the book was Guo Budo.

"This is the alchemy technique written by your master?"

"That's right. My master is good at refining weapons, which he has spent decades compiling. Hey..... don't look around. At first glance, it is necessary to collect cash. ”

"It's stingy." Zhou Qingfeng wanted to see it, but he couldn't understand it. This is not so much a book as a notebook. Guo Jiao's bookkeeping was a bad account at the beginning, and this ability was probably inherited to Guo Budo. Because Guo Budo does not doubt that this book is all kinds of messy graffiti.

Zhou Qingfeng looked at the magic circle that Bian Mao was manipulating again, and asked, "This is your new purchase?" How much did it cost? ”

"This circle was ordered from Shenyang, and it cost me a full five thousand taels of silver. Not only did I put all the money I earned with you, but I also emptied my old deposits. If this one is not successful, I am afraid that I will not even have the money to buy materials. "Flat hair is actually very nervous, and I have been hesitating how to match and how to operate. No wonder Zhou Qingfeng slammed the door, it has never been available.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with that?" Zhou Qingfeng stared at the magic circle for a long time, and suddenly spoke.

Flat Fur turned his head and asked urgently, "What's the problem?" ”

Zhou Qingfeng glanced at the "Creation Record" written by Guo Budo, and then stared at the various materials on the magic circle and said: "Your master is obviously not very good at writing books, he only recorded his thoughts when refining weapons in the book, but these ideas are only a certain possibility of refining weapons, and they may not be right. ”

Zhou Qingfeng stretched out his hand and fiddled with the magic circle as he spoke, he changed the ratio of several pieces of materials, and then modified the operation mode of the magic circle according to the spiritual power lines he saw in the eyes of heaven, and then compared the graffiti text on the "Creation Record" and said: "If anyone really refines the weapon according to your master's book, he will definitely be killed." ”

Before Zhou Qingfeng played with it, Bian Mao felt that the spiritual power on the magic circle was not flowing smoothly, and there was a lot of resistance to control. After Zhou Qingfeng finished fiddling with it, everything was much more pleasing to the eye. It immediately jumped up and shouted, "Yes, yes, that's how it should be, and that's how my master used to refine the weapon." ”

The circle began to work again, and Flatfur poured all of his spiritual power into it. The materials placed on the circle begin to crush, crack, combine, and shape again. It took half an hour before the vortex of spiritual power slowly stopped, and only a colorful stone floated above the circle.

As soon as the stone appeared, Flatfur immediately shouted for joy. It spread its wings and flew up, opened its mouth and swallowed the stone in its mouth. After a while, its body began to reveal the same colorful light, shining brightly.

Zhou Qingfeng sensed that the level of cultivation of this puppet bird had skyrocketed, the level of its fourth-layer muscles and bones had not changed, but its qi and blood cultivation had changed from the third layer to the fifth-layer. This means that the number of spells it can cast is doubled, and its power is increased by nearly fifty percent.

The flat fur that has improved its strength is screaming and flying everywhere. Zhou Qingfeng looked at a shaped energy stone replaced by flat hair and asked, "Hey, you shouldn't need this broken stone." If you don't want it, I'll take it. ”

Flat hair is on the rise, and he agreed without even thinking about it. But when it figured out what Zhou Qingfeng had taken, it suddenly exclaimed: "Little scoundrel, stop it!" You've come to take advantage of our family again. ”
