Chapter Seventy-Nine: Huo Xiu
Huo Xiu, the owner of Tsing Yi Building, is a strange person, this person is very rich, although he is not as good as the richest man in the world, but it is not much different.
A large part of the reason why Wan San Qian can be so rich is because he has a good background, and the Wan family is very rich, but this Huo Xiu is different, he roamed the rivers and lakes alone fifty years ago, and it took him fifty years to have his current net worth, which can be described as a typical self-made man.
Similarly, with such coveted property, both of them are erratic, whether it is Wan Sanqian or Huo Xiu, it is even more difficult to find them, only when they need to appear, otherwise it will be difficult for you to find them, and in Shen Chengping's opinion, it is not difficult to find Huo Xiu, just keep an eye on Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng is a person who is easy to cause trouble, after Jin Jiuling's case, Lu Xiaofeng was involved in the battle between the Flying Jade Tiger and the Jade Rakshasa again, with the Rakshasa order, the Jade Rakshasa got rid of the Flying Jade Tiger, an opponent who has always been elusive, and found out his own inner ghost, which makes people have to sigh that the Jade Rakshasa is really scheming, and a fake death will solve the opponent and the inner ghost at the same time.
However, it didn't take long for Lu Xiaofeng to meet a beautiful woman, and someone took the initiative to find her, but this beauty was a trouble for Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng wanders the rivers and lakes and often encounters two things, one is a beautiful woman, he already has several confidantes; The other is trouble, but if there was no trouble, Lu Xiaofeng would not be famous today.
Lu Xiaofeng was sleeping in an inn, and then a beautiful woman came, and this beauty knelt down towards Lu Xiaofeng without saying anything. Then Lu Xiaofeng disappeared, because he knew that it must be a super troublesome thing to make such a beautiful woman kneel, but there are some things that can't be hidden, and Lu Xiaofeng was finally found.
Because Lu Xiaofeng's good friend Hua Manlou was invited before Lu Xiaofeng, because he was worried about the safety of his good friend, Lu Xiaofeng could only agree to go and see.
He came to a palace and saw an old prince, this prince was full of white hair, he claimed to be the prince of the Great Golden Peng Kingdom, when the Great Golden Peng Kingdom was destroyed, the prince fled to the Central Plains under the escort of four courtiers, seeking the protection of the Great Ming. And these four courtiers each hold a sum of money from the Great Golden Peng Kingdom.
The money was originally used to restore the country, but according to the prince, three of the courtiers swallowed the money alone and did not want to help the prince restore the country, and this time he was looking for Lu Xiaofeng to collect debts from these three people. And the beauty who looked for Lu Xiaofeng before was called Shangguan Danfeng, the granddaughter of the old prince, and he also had a granddaughter named Shangguan Feiyan, Hua Manlou was invited by Shangguan Feiyan, and sometimes beauty is a weapon.
However, the three people to be found this time are not simple, these three people are Huo Xiu, Yan Tiezha and Dugu Yihe. Huo Xiu said before that he is a rich man whose whereabouts are erratic, and no one can find anything to deal with, Yan Tiezha is also a rich man, he is in the jewelry business, and he is recognized as the person with the most jewels in the world, as for Dugu Yihe, the head of the Emei faction. In the end, Lu Xiaofeng still took over the matter.
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou found Ximen Blowing Snow, as one of the few friends of Ximen Blowing Snow, Lu Xiaofeng's request to Ximen Blowing Snow did not refuse, and soon Lu Xiaofeng found Yan Tiezha.
Yan Tiezha was originally Yan Liben, the chief administrator of the Great Jinpeng Kingdom. Without speculating for more than half a sentence, they naturally clashed, Yan Tiezha was defeated, originally Lu Xiaofeng wanted to ask a few questions, but Yan Tiezha was attacked by Shangguan Danfeng from behind and stabbed to death with a sword.
Later, Yan Tiezha handled the funeral, and Dugu Yihe also rushed to Shanxi because he received the news of Yan Tiezha in advance, just in time for Yan Tiezha's funeral.
However, Lu Xiaofeng still knew a completely different version of the statement, that is, the three retainers had actually been looking for the prince all along, but the prince had been avoiding them because he didn't want to return to the country.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou went to find Huo Xiu, and Huo Xiu's statement was the same as Dugu Yihe, and they also saw four impostors who were locked up by Huo Xiu and pretended to be the king of the Golden Peng. Huo Xiu told Lu Xiaofeng that the descendants of the real King of the Great Golden Peng were born with six toes, and Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou immediately returned to find the prince to find out the truth of the matter.
But the old prince actually cut off his two feet because of the wind and cold, and then burned the severed feet and shoes and socks, so that it was impossible to verify whether this person was the real prince. Then they inadvertently discovered that Shangguan Danfeng had actually been killed a long time ago, and the body was buried in the back garden of the palace, and later they found that it was Shangguan Feiyan who pretended to be Shangguan Danfeng.
Lu Xiaofeng peeled back the truth of these things layer by layer, and later found out that Huo Xiu was the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he wanted to set up these schemes just for the property of the Great Jinpeng Kingdom, Lu Xiaofeng immediately set off to find Huo Xiu, and fell into Huo Xiu's trap.
Huo Xiu's trap is a bit special, everyone uses an iron cage to lock up other people, but he uses an iron cage to lock himself up, because the only exit from this room is under his seat, the iron cage can't be lifted or broken, and the entrance that came in before was also sealed, so Lu Xiaofeng and they couldn't get out.
"If you kill the prince of the Great Golden Peng Kingdom, he won't collect debts from you anymore?"
Huo Xiu nodded, and then said: "He wouldn't have asked me for it, but in recent years, he has spent all that money, he is too poor, he is a very good person at spending money, and he has never known the hard work of making money." ”
"So you must kill him!"
"I have to die."
"What about Yan Tiezha and Dugu Yihe?"
"Because they also share in the wealth." Huo Xiu said coldly.
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said, "You are already so rich, this wealth can't be spent in ten lifetimes, why do you have to do this, you want to bring them into the coffin?" ”
Huo Xiu glared at him and said coldly: "If you have a wife, you won't need it during the day anyway, are you willing to let others use it?" ”
"It's two different things entirely."
"But it seems to me that it is exactly the same, and this wealth is like my wife, whether I live or die, I will never let anyone else use it."
Lu Xiaofeng suddenly felt that the good friend in front of him didn't know him at all, it was too strange, maybe in Huo Xiu's eyes, except for his money and his life, everything else in this world was fake, he didn't get married, probably he just didn't want anyone to share the property with him.
"You locked yourself in an iron cage just because you didn't want to fight me?" Lu Xiaofeng asked.
"I'm an old man, I don't even want to do anything like sleeping with a woman, let alone fighting, I'll come back after ten days."
"What are you doing here?"
"There is nothing here, the only thing you can eat is your friend's meat, drink your friend's blood, ten days later, you will almost starve to death, I heard that Lu Xiaofeng always carries five thousand taels of silver tickets, and the jade carried by Hua Manlou is a rare treasure." Huo Xiu said.
"You don't even spare the money of the dead."
"As long as I can make a fortune, I won't miss it, and the clothes on your body are also very good, I can sell them, and I can have dozens of dollars."
"Do you want a few dozen pennies?"
"A penny is money."
"Okay, now it's time for me to go, and in ten days, I'll be back and collect the money." Huo Xiu said with a smile.
"Looks like I can't send you away either." Lu Xiaofeng smiled bitterly.
"But you're going to miss me soon, I know." Saying that, Huo Xiu stretched out his hand and said, "Now as long as my hand is pressed, my person will be gone, and you will never see me from now on." Huo Xiu's hand pressed down, but the smile on Huo Xiu's face disappeared.
The stone platform was still the same stone platform, he sat upright on the chair, no one changed in the slightest, but Huo Xiu's face became very ugly for a while, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his head.
"Why don't you leave?" Lu Xiaofeng asked, he was familiar with Huo Xiu, Huo Xiu said that there was an exit under him, then there must be, he said to go, he would definitely go.
"You ......" Huo Xiu looked at Lu Xiaofeng with wide eyes.
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Xiaofeng asked puzzled.
"You ......"
"It's useless for you to ask Lu Xiaofeng about this matter, because he didn't make your mechanism invalid!" As the stone door where Lu Xiaofeng and the others came in was opened, Shen Chengping's voice also came in.
