It is certain that even if it is the same way to make a fortune, different people can come out of different styles and different results.

The aristocracy who lived in the center of the greedy town coveted wealth in many ways, but no matter what the way, they always had a good grasp of the measure; No matter how vigorous their greed is, it will not go to the point of harming nature and reason, and it will not cause a large number of townspeople to starve, thirst and be displaced.

After all, those townspeople who are lower than them are the basis for their wealth creation, and if the lower classes are all messed up, then they at the top will not be much better.

Qian Taishao, who is the commodity management committee of Greedy Town, knows this very well, so when he came up with this way to make a fortune, his first reaction was not to scrape how much meat from ordinary townspeople, but to run to suppress the impulse of several big merchants in the central area.

"I, and a few other big people, have agreed in advance that they can't raise the price of water without an upper limit, but only by 20% of the price at most, which is already the lowest limit they can accept. We had everything planned, but just as we started buying drinking water on the market, we realized that we were too late...... That Ah Chai didn't just make fake accounts with me, he also pumped a lot of oil and water from his employer! Moreover, he was so shrewd and cunning that we were completely kept in the dark at the time, and no matter how we investigated, we couldn't find any clues. It wasn't until three months ago, when the water source was completely cut off and a water merchant suddenly popped up in the market, that I knew it was him, and it had always been him. ”

"In the past three months, that Achai has been collecting money too fast! But after all, he was only a pawn in the brass ring, and the bigwigs in the central area didn't take him seriously at first, until he stepped into the central area with impunity, and we realized that it was impossible to stop him anymore. He holds the life of all the townspeople, and those big people and the people of the four major families have to be afraid of him, flattering him, and they can only listen to whatever he says. With capital and connections, he can do what he wants! ”

At this time, Ouyang Yunyi had already sat down, she put the iron rod under the front desk, one hand supported her cheek, the other hand was flat on the countertop, and her index finger regularly knocked "dong dong", echoing in all corners of the hall.

The outside of the inn was completely quiet, and the night finally returned to its proper appearance.

Ouyang Yunyi frowned, put down his index finger, pursed his mouth slightly, tilted his neck and asked, "That damn speculator, what else does he want to do?" ”

Qian Taishao was still kneeling, Ouyang Yunyi asked him to sit on the sofa on the side, he just shook his head and refused, saying that kneeling made him feel more at ease.

Hearing Ouyang Yunyi's question, Qian Taishao suddenly sighed deeply, stared at his knees and hands blankly, and said with a lost expression: "The reason why that Ah Chai wants to leak my account book is because he wants to sit in my position, but he doesn't plan to manage the commodity trade in the town, he just ...... Revenge on me, do what I did to him......"

"...... only That's all? ”

Ouyang Yunyi was dumbfounded for a moment, and couldn't help but sit up straight, staring at Qian Taishao with an incredulous face. Unexpectedly, Qian Taishao didn't reply, he just silently took off his brown and yellow coat, unbuttoned his shirt, and slowly pulled down his clothes with both hands.

Countless whip marks that had just healed, four or five purple-black bruises on the ribs, a burnt yellow word "cheap" on the back, and a permanent footprint on the waist.

It's scary to think about, it's not all

It is the tragic situation of Qian Taishao's upper body.

Ouyang Yunyi was stunned, couldn't help choking, and said lightly: "This ...... You've got so many wounds...... There's medicine in the inn, I'll get it for you right away......"

"No need." Qian Taishao said very resolutely, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

The scarred body was really miserable, so Ouyang Yunyi hurriedly waved his hand and asked Qian Taishao to quickly cover his clothes back. Anyone who looks at it twice more will be nauseous and vomit incessantly.

"You...... That's how it was done to him? Ouyang Yunyi asked softly.

Qian Taishao nodded without thinking.

"Then you really deserve it, but if you are an ordinary person who is abused like this, you will definitely hold a grudge against you for the rest of your life."

"There is a good saying, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and I have truly experienced it. He's just the beginning," Qian Taishao picked up the water bottle, drank the remaining half of the bottle, and said with a wry smile, "After the ledger leaked out, I obviously felt that everyone looked at me differently, even my family, and my child who was less than four years old actually pointed at me and called me a big bad guy." It didn't take long for me to be dismissed from my position, all my possessions frozen, and I went to my friends for help, who pretended not to know me. Even in the end, I was driven out of the central area by them, and when I arrived at Yinhuan, because I had no money to eat, I robbed someone else of bread, and I was chased by the silver ring security officer all the way, and I barely paid the fine. ”

"I told them that I was dragged down the abyss step by step by that Ah Chai but they didn't believe it, they only thought it was me who did it...... Miss Ouyang, I wasn't originally like this! I never imagined that I would be like this one day! ”

Ouyang Yunyi smiled coldly, "Those people in the Amethyst Mine probably think the same way. ”

Qian Taishao covered his eyes with his hands and sobbed for a long time.

At this moment, Ouyang Yunyi really felt that Qian Taishao had sincerely repented. But the strange thing is that if he really wants to repent, he should have thought about it in the amethyst mine like those who have committed crimes, how could he come to the copper ring? Is it even more impossible to walk around with two large bags of food and drinking water? The Silverring Guards let him go so easily?

Thinking of this, Ouyang Yunyi's heart suddenly felt uneasy, and asked, "Where did all this food come from?" You have to be clear! ”

Qian Taishao was suddenly stunned, slowly raised his head, looked left and right, and replied in a low voice: "I am in the copper ring, and I have a friend, he is the chief guard here." ”

In an instant, Ouyang Yunyi was dumbfounded.

"The other day, I couldn't stay any longer in Silverring, so I fled all the way to Copperring and went to his guardhouse. But in the past few days, they were busy dealing with the bronze medal tournament, and they were afraid that my presence would bring him 'disaster', so I was kicked out by him. He left all this food and water to me, Miss Ouyang, don't worry, I didn't steal it, I didn't rob it, just take it. ”

"Where did he get that?" Ouyang Yunyi frowned, and suddenly said, "No wonder I haven't seen him come to the door in the past few days, it turns out that there is enough food and water." ”

Qian Taishao pursed his lips and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands with a "snap", and said excitedly: "I remembered!" Although he didn't say it directly, and I was embarrassed to ask, I accidentally heard him mention a girl named 'Qiu Qiong', saying that all the security officers in the town are looking for her now. ”

"So that's it

What's going on...... He's the whistleblower......"

Ouyang Yunyi couldn't help but gasp, feeling full of regret in her heart for a while, thinking that if she had worked hard at that time and controlled Ah Nu's emotions, Miss Xu would not have to help, let alone be mistaken for Qiu Qiong because of this, and be sent to the amethyst mine.

Ouyang Yunyi gradually closed her eyes, clasped her palms together in front of her chest, and prayed secretly: "God, you must bless Miss Xu for being safe and sound, bless her for suffering less in the amethyst mine, and bless her to reach the mining volume as soon as possible and come out as soon as possible." ”

At this moment, Qian Taishao also clasped his palms and whispered to Ouyang Yunyi: "Miss Ouyang, I really have nowhere to go." With these two big bags of food in hand, I realized that there were crazy people in this copper ring that were more terrifying than wild beasts! I'm their opponent, when I was hiding in Tibet, I found that in this whole area, only your inn was still lit. ”

"Oh," Ouyang Yunyi nodded, and said coldly and arrogantly, "It turned out that it was at the moment of life and death that I remembered that I had deceived two people." ”

"No, no," Qian Taishao waved his hand and said hurriedly, "I feel glad that you can still open a shop in such an environment, it's a miracle." ”

"Heh, then you should be glad we're alive."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of pulleys running from the side door of the hall, Ouyang Yunyi was shocked, immediately got up, and rushed into the berthing area with a smile. Seeing that the five iron gates were rolled up, she rushed out without saying a word, and threw herself into Ah Fu's arms.

Ah Fu was obviously taken aback, and glanced at Ouyang Yunyi in surprise, before gradually raising the corners of his mouth, and gently stroked her back with both hands.

"Yunyi, you can't do this, if the person who opened the gate is not me, how dangerous it is."

"So what will we do? I knew by the sound of the voice, it had to be you! You'll definitely be back! It's just a little late today. ”

Ah Fu picked up Ouyang Yunyi, looked at her face gently, pressed the gate button with one hand, and trotted into the hall.

But as soon as the front foot stepped into the hall, Qian Taishao's figure could be said to spoil the scenery and ruin the mood, only to see Ah Fu frowning, slowly walked to the front desk, and slowly put down Ouyang Yunyi, then walked to Qian Taishao angrily, suddenly raised his hand and grabbed his neck, and lifted him to the chandelier.

"You still have the face! Look at me right now......"

"Wait!" Ouyang Yunyi screamed urgently, hurriedly ran to Ah Fu's side, and pulled down his hand vigorously, "Ah Fu, I'll explain to you later, don't hurt him!" ”

Ah Fu was confused when he heard this, and reluctantly put down Qian Taishao.

"Ahem! Ahem! Qian Taishao's face was completely red and swollen, his hands covered his neck, and his face was full of pain.

Ouyang Yunyi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Qian Taishao, I'll put the words in front, I can let you stay in the inn, but I will never forgive you, and it's the same for Ah Fu." You have to know that I took you in when I saw that you were pitiful, and if you have a little crooked mind, we will never keep you, and you had better take your baggage and leave immediately! Do you hear that?! ”

"Yunyi, why? He is the one who harmed us! ”

Ouyang Yunyi took a deep breath and shook his head: "In this world now, how can anyone harm anyone, and we can only blame ourselves for ending up today...... However, one thing he said was right, we should be glad that we wouldn't have survived this long without this inn......"
