Chapter Ninety-Eight: Disappearing Out of Thin Air

"Well, I can show you the way, and I know that with your current financial resources, you will not be able to pay for the hedrons that compensate me. You can go to Longyuan Pavilion to help auction your family's blessed rough mine and jewelry shop, so that you can not only pay off your gambling debts, but also get rid of the burden of cleaning up the mine for ten years?"

"Zhang Shuai, you don't know, it's not that we don't want to sell the mine and the jewelry store, now that we all know about the depletion of the mine, who can spend a lot of money to buy the mine and the jewelry store that have become scrapped?" The head of the Hua family couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

"In this way, you can go to the auction, if no one takes over, I, Zhang Jun, am willing to buy your ore and jewelry store at 30% of the original market price, how about it?"

"What you said is true?"

The head of the Hua family was overjoyed, with the value of his Hua family's existing mines and jewelry stores, due to the depletion of the rough stones, it was less than one-fifth of the original market price, even so, he still wanted to throw out the mine, but no one would take over at all.

When he returned from the barracks yesterday, the first thing he did was to sell the mines and the jewelry shop, but after going to the two largest money houses and three pawn shops, no one was willing to take over.

Money and pawn shops are extremely well-informed industries, and the clues of the depletion of the blessed mine have already gotten some news, and finally there is a pawn shop that is reluctant to pay one-tenth of the original market price to buy the Hua family's blessed mine and jewelry store. Of course, the head of the Hua family was unwilling to sell it at such a low price, so he didn't want to do it.

And today Zhang Jun is willing to bid 30% of the original market price to buy, which is simply saving the entire Hua family, because the value of the extra 20% is already a lot more than the gambling money returned to Zhang Jun. From this point of view, Zhang Jun did not harm them, but saved them at once. How can you not be overjoyed.

"I, Zhang Jun, never lie, although you can rest assured about this, you can also inform the other 18 jewelry stores, Zhang Jun is not a person who forces people to hang themselves, as long as everyone understands the rules and abides by the agreement, I will never embarrass you. ”

"Thank you Zhang Shuai for your kindness, I will go back and inform the 18th National Congress of the Jewelry Firm immediately, I believe that everyone will be grateful to Zhang Shuai. ”

A day later, in the big tent set up by Zhang Jun on the head of Jewelry Street, the first to come was not the head of the Hua family, but Zeng Kun, the head of the royal jewelry store.

"The king of Dongshan is a thousand years old, Zeng Kun will meet you"

"Brother Zeng Kun is polite, please come in, you are a member of the royal family and the brother of Emperor Zeng, let's call each other brothers!"

"This Zeng Kun doesn't dare to be, you are the high-ranking king of Dongshan, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, and the right minister of the imperial court. Calling me a brother and sister, the villain is really ashamed. "Although Zeng Kun is a member of the royal family, he is superior to ordinary people. But in front of Zhang Jun, he didn't dare to call him a brother. After all, strictly speaking, he is just a servant of the royal family.

"Huh..... Okay, don't be so polite, I don't know what you came to me today?"

"I came here today to thank the king of Dongshan, and secondly, to repay the gambling money to you. ”

"Oh?

"Dongshan King Chitose doesn't know, originally the mine earthquake collapsed, I have an unshirkable responsibility, although it is not a capital crime, but I am afraid that it is difficult to have a place in the royal family,"

"Especially the depletion of the mine, I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive. And it happened that he was coerced by the Chu brothers and the five major families, so he had to confront you. As a result, he lost more than two trillion high-grade spars. I knew that I was going to die this time. ”

"After parting with you that day, I immediately sent a letter to the Elders' Hall, and after getting the permission of the Elders' Hall, I went to the pawn shop, wanting to sell the mine and the jewelry store as soon as possible to reduce the loss. ”

"Yesterday I received a letter from the head of the Hua family, only to know that you are willing to buy the mine and jewelry store at the original market price of 30%, I immediately sent a letter to the Elders' Hall, just got the reply, not only was I not condemned, but also made a great contribution, promoted me to the deputy head of the Imperial Outer Affairs Hall, isn't this a blessing in disguise......?

"So I sincerely thank the King of Dongshan for saving his life, this is the contract soul extension of the nine mines, and everything in the Royal Jewelry Store will belong to you from now on. ”

"I wish you 30% of the original market price of the mine, this price is too high. The head of the Royal Elder Hall and Emperor Zeng did not want to let the King of Dongshan suffer a loss, so they decided to compensate you for all the real estate and land owned by the royal family under the jurisdiction of Red Flame City, and from then on, the people of the royal family who were doing business withdrew from Red Flame City, and all the business and land of the royal family belonged to you, King Dongshan. ”

"This ...... This is not good!" Of course, Zhang Jun understood what Emperor Zeng and the royal family meant, and he tried his best to win over Zhang Jun at all costs.

"Dongshan King Chitose, you are the pillar of the country, the royal family will rely on your full support in the future, the Red Blood Country is in an eventful time, especially now that the thief heart of the Yunyang Kingdom is not dead, I hope that the Dongshan King Chitose must not be polite. ”

Zhang Jun immediately understood the royal family's worries, these business properties in Chiyan Pass, if the Yunyang Kingdom broke the city, first of all, the royal family would be looted, so it was better to give all of it to Zhang Jun, which could not only narrow the relationship with Zhang Jun, but also make Zhang Jun worry about the safety of the property, and be inseparable from the Yunyang Kingdom and resist desperately. What's more, he can also get a lot of spar resources from Zhang Jun's acquisition of the mine. Kill three birds with one stone, why not.

"Okay, then I'll accept it, thank you to the royal family and the royal lord for their generous gifts. ”

"Then the villain will leave, tomorrow the villain will leave Red Flame City with the royal family, return to the Hall of Elders to resume his life, I wish the King of Dongshan a thousand years old to go one step further and advance to Huang Wujing as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Jun didn't expect that after Zeng Kun left, the top ten shops came to sign contracts with him one after another, and they didn't choose to go to Longyuan Pavilion for auction at all.

Zhang Jun didn't expect that not only did they not resent Zhang Jun, but everyone was grateful. The part of the gambling money compensated to Zhang Jun was only about one-third of the sale of the mine and the jewelry store, which not only paid off the gambling debts, but also obtained a large amount of spars.

The wind was released to the major buyers and major merchants in the market, and it received unexpected results. Money banks do not make collateral loans, and pawnshops keep the price down to 10%. prompted Zhang Jun to become a great benevolent person in everyone's hearts. Zhang Jun didn't know that the pawnshop that was willing to pay a price of 10% was the owner behind it was Longyuan Pavilion, and other pawnshops didn't want it at all.

The five major families also signed contracts with Zhang Jun one after another, especially the Chu family and the Chiyan Pass Jewelry Company, and even gave up part of the land and population in the Chiyan Pass as compensation. Take this as an opportunity to re-establish friendship with Zhang Jun.

The time of three days has arrived, but the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store did not come to the appointment, and when the time came, Zhang Jun immediately led 10,000 horses and horses to the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store.

The Eastern Regions Jewelry Store that closed the gate was extra depressed, and when Zhang Jun sent people to smash the door, no one responded, and after getting Zhang Jun's permission, the soldiers smashed open the door and broke in.

The first floor of the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store was empty, and there was no one, Zhang Jun secretly said that it was not good, and immediately sent people to search around, and after a while, the soldiers reported that there was no one in the entire Eastern Regions Jewelry Store, and thousands of people in the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store had entered the building and disappeared out of thin air.

Zhang Jun asked the soldiers if they had found anything abnormal in the past two days, and the answer was that they had never seen even a bird.

"It is impossible for thousands of people to escape from the tightly sealed blockade on the ground, and the Red Blood Country definitely does not have flying tools, and the possibility of escaping from the sky is almost equal to zero. Then there is only one possibility, that is, underground," Thinking of this, Zhang Jun immediately sent someone to carefully search for the entrance of the tunnel to see if it was possible to escape from the tunnel.

After an hour of detailed investigation, even the rat holes were dug up, and no suspicious traces were found.

Disappearing out of thin air? This is the first time Zhang Jun has heard of such a strange thing.

"It's all out, don't make a noise about this matter, send people to take over all the industries and mines under the name of the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store, pay close attention to the people entering and leaving the city gates in the Red Flame Pass, and strictly investigate the whereabouts of the people in the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store. ”

After one order after another, Zhang Jun dismissed the soldiers in the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store and removed the blockade of Jewelry Street.

Those rough stone gamblers originally planned to get some benefits from it, but they heard that Zhang Jun did not ask the eighteen jewelry stores for the money to buy the original stone, and Zhang Jun asked for the gambling money he won.

Zhang Jun didn't ask for this gambling fee, and was willing to lose the gamble. How dare they ask the people of the 18th National Jewelry Dealership, these families are not something that ordinary people like them dare to provoke. In the past, those who offended these powerful people were exiled to border mines, and those who were wiped out were wiped out.

This is not comparable with Zhang Jun daring to come to the door to force debts, these gamblers can only be willing to gamble and lose, and consider themselves unlucky.

The reason why Zhang Jun was the only one in the Eastern Regions Jewelry Store was because he didn't want to expose his perspective and disappear out of thin air? How could Zhang Jun believe such a thing, there must be some secret passage hidden.

It's just that Zhang Jun can't understand that the original market price of buying the mine is 30%, and it is impossible for the Eastern Regions Jewelry Company not to know how much advantage they have taken advantage of Zhang Jun, even if they pay off the gambling money, at least more than half of the spar remains. How can thousands of people still go into hiding?

In fact, there is no point in hiding, Zhang Jun can forcibly take the mine, and there is no need to buy it at all. At least Zhang Jun doesn't want to bear the infamy of bullying and robbing.

What's more, this hiding not only lost the mine, but also lost the jewelry store and other businesses of Chiyanguan. How much is the loss twice as big as the gambling money?

Zhang Jun used his eyesight to start from the ground floor and look upwards layer by layer.

Finally, I found the clue in the space on the top floor.
