Chapter 3: Robbery
Although he had practiced all night, Bai Shi's mental condition at this time was unprecedentedly good, he got up early, washed up, and went straight to the family account.
As a big family, its daily operation requires a huge amount of money, and the account office is not only responsible for controlling the entry and exit of money, but also responsible for distributing the monthly money of the people in the family. Like Bai Shi, when his father was alive, his monthly routine money reached a high of 100 taels per month, and as soon as his father passed away, Bai Hai ascended to power, and his routine money began to be deducted frequently. But after all, it is a family lineage, and you can still get more than fifty taels every month.
Bai Shi has not come to withdraw the case money for more than half a year, this time he is ready to take it all out and replace it with pills, and quickly improve his cultivation, he has been behind his peers for more than four years, and now that the mysterious power is in his body, his desire to become stronger cannot be stopped for a moment.
"Yo, isn't this our white release, white waste. A gutter-nosed man with a pockmarked face looked at Bai Shi sarcastically, his face full of disdain.
Bai Shi recognized this person, named Ji Wei, who was in charge of the younger generation's money, and the third layer of the day after tomorrow was the Baihai faction.
In fact, as soon as Bai Hai was in power, most of the fat shortage of the account office was taken over by his manpower.
"I'll take all my money out, and you can help me see how much it has. Bai Shi's face was indifferent, like his sarcastic face, he had seen too much over the years, and he had long been numb.
"Well, the last time I received the money was in April, and now it's just October, which means six months. Ji Wei had a strange smile on his face and looked through the records.
"It's two hundred and four taels in total. ”
"What! How did you calculate, at least three hundred taels are right, you have deducted too much!" Bai Shi said, his eyebrows were raised, the deception was too much, and the degree of deduction was too outrageous.
"Don't be angry, it's a waste of nothing, you see I'll do the math for you. ”
"The last time the White Sea Patriarch took a concubine, everyone followed the ceremony, so we deducted it from you. ”
"I didn't go with it myself. ”
"As a family descendant, that little gift money is definitely not enough, so we will naturally help you add a little more. ”
"Also, Young Master Hao bought some supplies in Ruyi Pavilion during the day, and he also sponsored it from your money......
"And ......"
Anger surged into his heart in an instant, these people really didn't treat their own clan as a green onion, forcibly suppressed their dissatisfaction, and Bai Shi asked for a year's advance in advance, but he was also refused. As a member of the family, anyone can advance a year's expenses, but Ji Wei said that he can only advance for two months.
Bai Shi only received three hundred taels in the end, and went away coldly.
Na Ji Wei watched Bai Shi leave, with a malicious smile on his face, and he gave four orders and went out.
Bai Shi still went straight to the largest pharmacy in Dayue City, three hundred taels plus all the savings in his hand, a total of more than nine hundred taels for four Lingyuan Pills and some Spiritual Qi Pills.
"So many pills should be enough for me to step into the peak of the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow. On the way back, Bai Shi's heart was on fire, while calculating the effects of these pills. The money has to be used on the blade, and he doesn't know if others have it, but he must have spent it right, and these pills will almost 100% be converted into his strength.
"Huh?"
Bai Shi suddenly stopped, and a strong wind mixed with a soft shout struck from behind, and it was a pair of palms, attacking Bai Shi's back.
If it were Bai Shi three days ago, he would not be able to avoid it at this time, but Bai Shi is not what it used to be, and his body quickly turned horizontal, and he gently avoided it when he was not allowed to do so.
"Huh?"
A man in his twenties slowly walked out of a dark alley.
"Ji Wei!"
The person who attacked this sneak attack was Ji Wei, the bookkeeper he had only seen in the morning.
"Why did you sneak up on me?"
Bai Shi said indifferently, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, he usually found fault and made it difficult, only the family dared to really do it to himself, even if Bai Tianming came with a servant every time, he would not let them make a move on him. As a martial arts family, no matter how bad Bai Shi has behaved in recent years, he is still a member of the Bai family, and if his subordinates dare to attack him, it is a serious crime to commit the following crimes, and this kind of thing will greatly affect the prestige of the Bai family, this Ji Wei can't die if he wants to.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Bai Da to have two more strokes. "Ji Wei is not tall, with a sharp beak and monkey gills, and some thief eyebrows. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect that one of the sneak attacks that must be hit was actually dodged. Since Bai Shi left, he has been worried about the heavy three hundred taels, and as a descendant of the Bai family, he can't earn the usual money of the Bai family for a month. He waited for a long time on this road of Bai Shi, hoping that the stars and the moon would finally wait for Bai Shi.
"Recently, I have been short of money, so I borrowed three hundred taels of flowers. Ji Wei stretched out a hand and beckoned at Bai Shi, not at all as a subordinate.
"Don't borrow!" Bai Shi spread his hands and looked cold.
"Hehe, Bai Da is a waste of less, and he really thinks of himself as the young master of the Bai family, I'm sorry," Ji Wei's face was full of disdain, and he took a heavy sip: "Lao Tzu is the third layer of the day after tomorrow, and the clansmen of a big family are pampered and pampered and the second layer of the day after tomorrow." ”
"If you know each other, you will directly hand over the money to Lao Tzu, and you will have to suffer less from flesh and skin, and it will be a waste to give you this kind of waste and little use. ”
"I know why you can only advance two months' regular money today, because in another two months, you will no longer be considered a member of the Bai family. ”
"According to the rules of the Bai family, the members of the family have not yet stepped into the third layer of the day after they have reached the age of seventeen, and they are going to be sent to the countryside and mountains to guard and manage the mineral veins, and since then they have to cut off the family's regular money, in fact, they are left to fend for themselves. ”
"So, don't think about what you can't offend your master, you'll be worse than me in two months. How much savings do you still have on you to give to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is now in the middle of the third layer of the day after tomorrow, three hundred taels will be replaced with pills and will step into the fourth layer of the day after tomorrow, Lao Tzu's identity in the account room will also rise, even if you are exiled, Lao Tzu can be in a good mood and be merciful to help you one or two, this is a win-win situation for you and me. ”
......
Ji Wei constantly hit Bai Shi with words, wanting to break Bai Shi's will mentally, and at the same time secretly rejoicing in his heart, he knew the news relatively early, otherwise I don't know how many people would squeeze Bai Shi dry when he was exiled. Anyway, he is also the son of the former patriarch, and his savings must be good, and he will make a mistake one step ahead of him, and the harvest will definitely be expensive.
"I see. Bai Shi didn't expect that this was the reason for the events in the morning, he didn't know this, in the past hundred years, there didn't seem to be any seventeen-year-old clansmen who hadn't been three-layered, so it was no wonder that he hadn't heard of this family rule.
"Alright, take it. ”
"Get out!"
"You're fucking looking for death, a second-floor waste the day after tomorrow, and you dare to refuse Lao Tzu. What's wrong with the young master of the Bai family, Lao Tzu will let you know the power of the third-layer master the day after tomorrow!" Ji Wei said so much, and when he found that Bai Shi did not enter, he was immediately furious, and his right hand turned into a claw and grabbed Bai Shi.
Bai Shi didn't dodge or dodge, let him grab his shoulder, and looked at him with strange eyes, as if he was stupid by the momentum of Ji Wei's "master".
"Haha, the name of Bai Da Rui Shao really deserves his reputation, and he can't even resist. ”
Ji Wei saw that he had succeeded in grabbing it, he laughed vigorously, and his waist was forced, as if he wanted to throw Bai Shi's whole person out like a sandbag.
"Waste is waste, let's recognize the reality. ”
"This fat beats the Bai family, among the subordinates, Lao Tzu is still the first!"
Ji Wei was extremely proud, but soon his face stiffened, and Bai Shi, who was as weak as a chicken boy in his eyes, didn't move at all.
"Huh?"
The strength of his right hand couldn't help but increase a few points, and he tried again and again, but the result was still the same.
Bai Shi looked at his stinky face with interest: "Do you want to try it with both hands, master?"
"Hmph, you kid can't cultivate, but you have a bit of brute strength. ”
The strength to suppress failed, Ji Wei was full of shame, but he quickly found a reason for himself.
"It's just a little brute force, martial arts cultivation is the foundation of a martial artist, look at how Lao Tzu will beat you down!"
Ji Wei attacked Bai Shi with one punch, and his whole body cultivation was launched, as if he really wanted to cripple Bai Shi, and an acquired second-layer martial artist would definitely be injured under this punch.
"Bang!"
He was greeted by Bai Shi's fist, his fists intersecting, mixed with Ji Wei's cry of pain.
"You shit, how can you have such a big fist. ”
"Haha, aren't you going to fight, master?" Bai Shi laughed, his fists came out together, and smashed at him from all angles, the fist wind roared, and at a glance he knew the strength he carried.
"Ah!" Losing again and again, Ji Wei was still a little confused, seeing him attacking, he hurriedly parried, and every time he fought against him, he thought that Bai Shi was holding a boulder and moving it at him, making him let out a cry of pain.
The peak of the third layer of the day after tomorrow is almost no suspense in the middle of the third layer of the day after tomorrow, Ji Wei has long run out of strength to attack, and turns to defense, every time Bai Shi's fists hit a place, there will be an extra cloud of green bruises. In the midst of screams, he finally understood.
"No, no, you're actually the third layer of the day after tomorrow, and your cultivation is higher than me, how is it possible?"
"Don't, stop fighting, I beg you. ”
"Young Master, Young Master Bai, spare the minions, I don't dare anymore, my bones are about to be discounted by you. ”
Ji Wei was paralyzed on the ground, breathing heavily, holding his head and begging for mercy, an ugly face seemed to be replaced by a pig's face at this time, swollen several times, how could he still have the smug and rampant appearance before.
Shaking his neck with some unfinished thoughts, Bai Shi looked at him, but many thoughts flashed in his heart.
"I have something to ask you, what I ask, what you answer, otherwise, you feel good. ”
"Yes, yes, the villain understands, the young master asks. ”
"How do you know that if you don't reach the third level of the day after tomorrow at the age of seventeen, you will be exiled, even I don't know, how can you know as a subordinate. ”
"This is what I said when I heard the White Sea Patriarch chatting with the second son of Tianji a few days ago, the concubine of the White Sea Patriarch Xinna is my cousin, with this relationship, I can often serve by the patriarch's side and know a lot of things. ”
"Oh, so you're kind of a henchman of the White Sea. ”
"Count, ah, what is this? Phew, phew, what did you give me to eat. As he spoke, Bai Shi grabbed something the size of an elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, causing him to retch.
"Elixir!"
"A poison that can cut off your martial arts practice, it will cut off your connection with the aura around you, if you don't believe it, you can meditate and try it now. ”
At the moment when he meditated, Bai Shana's spiritual power was activated, frantically plundering the spiritual energy around him, and actually formed a spiritual energy vacuum around him.
"I can't absorb the aura. Ji Wei's face was pale and he couldn't absorb the aura, which was more uncomfortable for a martial artist than killing him.
"Hmph, as long as you do things for me obediently, I will give you the antidote from time to time, of course, if you are disobedient, you will naturally know the consequences. ”
"Yes, yes. Ji Wei cried with a sad face, this time he really lost his wife and broke his soldiers, he didn't get anything, and he put himself in.
"I am not allowed to disclose my cultivation breakthrough to anyone. In the future, all the information about me, about my father, etc., as long as you hear it, you must tell me, if you can help me find out how my father died, I will directly help you cure the poison of the elixir. ”
There are too many questions, and at this time, he has too low a cultivation level, and he has no hope of improving his martial arts, so he is not qualified to investigate at all. Regarding his father's death, he completely listened to what the elders in the family said, his father and Bai Hai led a team to travel on a family mission, his father cultivated on the tenth floor of the day after tomorrow and did not come back, but Bai Hai returned completely on the ninth floor of the day after tomorrow, which made him have no reason not to feel that there was a hint in it. Also, even if Bai Hai is at odds with his father, he has suppressed himself too much, not to mention his unbearable performance over the years, Bai Hai still doesn't let himself go.
"As long as you can do things for me with peace of mind, you don't have to worry about this elixir. "Secretly crushed a spiritual qi pill into powder, handed him to Ji Wei, and when he saw him take it, he immediately stopped Naling thaumaturgy.
"Let's see, if you can continue to cultivate again. ”
"This antidote can only be managed for a month at a time, once the effect of the medicine passes, if you continue to try to cultivate, the Absolute Spirit Pill will immediately corrode your sea of qi, and if you are looking for me to get the antidote afterwards, it is also weak, so you had better not try it." Bai Shi's words directly eliminated the possibility that Ji Wei found out that the Absolute Spirit Pill was fake.
