Chapter 31: Three Birds with One Stone
Although he was satisfied with Qin Shuai's current attitude, at this time, Qin Zongguang said to the fourth box: "You still have a box, what is it in?"
Qin Shuai smiled and opened the fourth box, which contained the head of Jin Batian! The moment she saw this head, the third lady suddenly wailed and cried: "Dad!"
Qin Zongguang's face also suddenly became gloomy. He thought that this Qin Shuai had changed his temper and finally knew what it meant to abide by the rules, but he didn't expect Qin Shuai to give him a slap immediately.
Who is Jin Batian? It's his father-in-law, and Qin Shuai is his son. It's a joke that his own son killed his father-in-law!
"Qin Shuai, what do you want to do?" Qin Zongguang smashed the table with a direct and angry palm.
Qin Shuai said with a calm face: "Father, Jin Batian and my Qin family are in-laws, but he is eating inside and out, colluding with the Duan family, shouldn't he be killed?"
As soon as she heard this, the third lady immediately took Qin Zongguang's hand and cried: "Master, even if my father has no credit for the Qin family, he has worked hard, but he was killed by Qin Shuai, a little brute, you have to call the shots for me! ”
Looking at the performance of the third lady, Qin Shuai sneered: "Credit, hard work, my Qin family has given Jin Batian a lot of benefits over the years, but what is the result? In exchange for him colluding with the Duan family and betraying the interests of my Qin family!"
This time I was besieged and killed by the people of the Duan family, why didn't there be any news in advance, I don't want to say more, but last time he Jin Batian took 57,000 catties of ore from my Qin family, but it turned out that it was 52,000 catties, and the rest was swallowed by him! It moved the interests of my Qin family, shouldn't he be killed?"
It's ridiculous to say, Jin Batian's biggest crime is actually colluding with outsiders to kill Qin Shuai, but this article can't be said on the surface, Qin Shuai can only say that Jin Batian secretly harmed the interests of the Qin family. But the crux of the matter is that if he doesn't kill Jin Batian today, then even if he pokes this matter out, Jin Batian will not die.
Therefore, Qin Shuai could only choose to kill Jin Batian first, and then use this charge to make a reasonable explanation for himself.
The third lady pointed at Chu Xiu and shouted, "Little bastard, you are talking nonsense! How could my father do such a thing?"
Qin Shuai said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, you can check the accounts of the Qin family, I found 57,000 catties of ore when I robbed and killed the Duan family's caravan, all of which were produced by my Qin family's mining area, and they have all been verified by the Qin family's steward." Also, my father might as well ask the steward who sent the ore to the Crazy Knife Gate if he had changed his accounts. ”
Qin Zongguang frowned, and immediately asked people to ask about the stewards. The direction of the Qin family's wind has changed, and the steward who has experienced this incident also knows that what he is doing is wrong, so he does not dare to hide it, and immediately tells Qin Zongguang the actual situation.
The third lady looked sluggish, she really didn't know about this matter. She never imagined that Jin Batian would play tricks with her. If Jin Ba Tiantian really needs silver, tell her directly, as a daughter, can she not give it? As a result, she had to calculate in secret, but she also calculated her own life!
Qin Zongguang's eyes showed a hint of anger, Qin Shuai's first cut and then prelude did make Qin Zongguang very angry, but what made Qin Zongguang even more angry was some small actions that the third lady did in secret, even at the expense of harming the interests of the Qin family.
"Come on, help the third lady down to rest, the third lady is too sad and it's not suitable to go out recently. ”
The meaning of Qin Zongguang's words is obvious, Jin Batian's matter is not good to say, so he will not make up his mind, but it is obvious that the third lady will not even be able to go out of the courtyard in the future.
When Qin Zongguang turned his gaze to Qin Hai, Qin Hai hurriedly said, "Father, listen to me, I really don't know all this!"
Qin Hai probably didn't even believe what he said, let alone Qin Zongguang. In the past, Qin Zongguang still felt that Qin Hai was quite good among his sons, at least he knew the rules, but now he was even more disgusted.
Qin Zongguang waved his hand and said coldly: "Shut up! Over the years, you have only known how to secretly calculate and calculate, and all your martial arts have been wasted." My Qin family is a martial arts family, and I don't have the strength, the position of the head of this family is for you to sit on, are you sitting firmly? Now that your eldest brother is abolished, your third brother has cultivated to the Demon King Realm, and now you are still in the Great Demon Master Realm, with such strength, how can you take on the heavy responsibility of the family. In the future, you don't have to worry about the family's business, just accompany your mother in your yard, and cultivate with peace of mind. ”
Qin Hai's face suddenly turned pale when he heard this, it was already obvious what Qin Zongguang said, he would have lost the qualification to become the heir of the family from now on.
After the subordinates dragged the third lady's mother and son down, Qin Zongguang rubbed his head with a little headache and said, "A few uncles and Steward Chen, you send someone to take over the Duan family's property, and the others go down." And Qin Shuai, this is my last warning to you, you must report to me before you do it next time, otherwise, your business will also be taken back and go to the ancestral hall to reflect!"
Originally, it should be a happy thing to destroy the Duan family, but Qin Zongguang was troubled by this bunch of troubles. Qin Shuai respectfully arched his hand at Qin Zongguang and said, "Got it, father." ”
For Qin Shuai, his goal has been achieved, to destroy the Duan family, his prestige in the Qin family is unmatched, and by the way, he killed the third lady's mother and son, and he was not punished by the family. Of course, what is more important is that Qin Shuai got one-third of the Duan family's family business.
Now that Qin Shuai is short of money and resources, one-third of the entire Duan family's family business is enough for Qin Shuai to digest for a while. As for handing over two-thirds of the industry, Qin Shuai was also very helpless, and if he didn't hand it over, he wouldn't be able to swallow the entire Duan family. If they don't feed the rest of the Qin family, they will let Qin Shuai get those things so easily?
After returning to his courtyard, Li Chong excitedly said to Qin Shuai: "Childe, we have sent it this time! Not counting those properties, all the assets of the Duan family together have exceeded one million taels!"
Qin Shuai frowned when he heard this: "What? Such a big Duan family has taken root in Aoki Town for hundreds of years, not counting the fixed things of real estate, the assets are only one million taels?"
Li Chong smiled bitterly: "Son, this is enough, the Duan family was disheartened after the death of the old master, and many people left, but the Duan family paid a big price, which kept the hearts of the people." There is also the Duan family's main business is to forge weapons and refine weapons, but these businesses are on the side of Liushi Town in the Malan Empire, so I didn't count them. ”
Qin Shuai nodded and said, "Okay, we'll take one-third of the Duan family's things, and give the rest to the family, remember, the cultivation resources are brought first." ”
Li Chong nodded, he is not suitable for big things, but some small things are still very neat. It took him and the Qin family's stewards almost a day to calculate the accounts, and sent all the cultivation resources that Qin Shuai wanted.
Although the Duan family is now one of the three major families, the current Duan family's foundation is far inferior to that of the Qin family, and there are not even alchemists, and all things like pills are purchased from outside.
What made Qin Shuai excited was that there was still a condensation spirit hidden in the Duan family. Condensing the spirit is a necessary elixir for cultivating and impacting the demon spirit, and a person can only take one pill in his life, and if he takes too much, he will have no other effect. After taking it, it can directly increase the success probability of impacting the Demon Spirit Realm. Moreover, the level of this elixir is very high, ordinary alchemists basically can't refine it, and experienced alchemists also have a large failure rate. It can be seen how precious the pill is, and the price of a condensation spirit has risen to the point of two hundred taels of silver. And it's priceless. Ordinary people can't buy it at all. It is estimated that this pill was purchased by the Duan family at a great cost in the Malan Empire. Now it is in the hands of Qin Shuai.
After playing with it for a while, Qin Shuai put it away. Now that I have just reached the first stage of the Demon King, I need to stabilize the realm, otherwise I will not reach it if I want to hurry. will impact the demon spirit, so the pill will not be used for the time being.
In a small place like Aoki Town, Qin Zongguang was able to rank among the top ten masters in Aoki Town with a cultivator of the Demon King Nine Ranks, and was able to establish a family, so one can imagine what this realm represented.
Gifted cultivators naturally don't have to worry about this realm, but if they don't have talent, they can only rely on their understanding and perseverance to work hard. The so-called master leads the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. There are too many extremely talented people who have taken too many detours because they have not apprenticed, which affects the foundation, so that they stop on the path of cultivation.
In his previous life, Qin Shuai had the title of the Hell's Ghost King, and he cultivated to the heavens, and after experiencing this, his knowledge must be stronger than many people. There will be no detours. With the treasures of heaven and earth and the elixir, the cultivation will definitely go all the way.
In any case, when people walk in the rivers and lakes, only absolute strength is the most important. Just like what he said before, Ruidong is not strong enough, even if he is full of calculations, he can only make wedding dresses for others in the end. Of course, Qin Shuai would not make this mistake, and now that he had obtained so many cultivation resources from the Duan family, Qin Shuai immediately began to practice in retreat to improve his strength.
The changes in Aoki Town are not felt by ordinary people, and Qin Shuai, the figuriner, went to retreat, but for the cultivators of the mixed rivers and lakes, Aoki Town has set off a storm in the past two days. The Duan family, which had been rooted in Aoki Town for a hundred years, was destroyed overnight, and it was the person who used to be called a waste in the Qin family, who actually did it alone, which made them unable to believe it. Therefore, more people still think that there should be the power of the Qin family to help Qin Shuai in secret, and some people even think that this is the credit that Qin Zongguang deliberately arranged for Qin Shuai to take over the position of the head of the family.
After hearing this rumor, the people of the Qin family didn't know what to say, but they knew very well Qin Zongguang's attitude towards Qin Shuai. And the most bizarre of them is that Jin Batian of the Crazy Sword Gate was also killed, which is one of the top ten masters in Aoki Town, which makes them a little unable to see through, and there are all kinds of rumors, but the Qin family doesn't care, anyway, it will be dispersed in two days.
In fact, it was true, and after half a month, no one on the street was discussing the matter anymore.
And half a month later, Qin Shuai also came out of retreat, because he had all kinds of natural treasures for Qin Shuai to absorb. The strength growth is also rapid. After practicing in the courtyard for a while, the qi and blood were surging, and the heat was rising from his body, Qin Shuai could already feel that his demonic qi had grown a lot. He had already felt the threshold of the third stage of the Demon King, and compared to when he first started cultivating, his current demonic qi was already the difference between a small stream and a big river compared to before.
Liu Yidao pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and when he saw Qin Shuai practicing his sword there, he smiled and said, "Qin Gongzi is out of the customs? ”
Qin Shuai glanced at Liu Yidao and said, "You're not bad, looking at your appearance, you should be about to step into the Demon King Realm, right?"
Liu Yidao casually arched his hand at Qin Shuai and said, "Thanks to Qin Gongzi's blessing, you eat well, sleep well, and have a supply of pills, and the Demon King Realm is only a matter of time." It is estimated that when I return to the cottage, those old boys will regret it, why didn't you look for them in the first place, Gongzi Qin. ”
After chatting with Qin Shuai for a few words, Liu Yidao suddenly said: "By the way, Qin Gongzi, there are three masters from Aoki Town recently, and they live in your Qin family's inn, and they are all very strange." ”
"Oh, master, how powerful, what level?"
"I can't see the specifics, but it's definitely the realm above the Demon Emperor!" Liu Yidao said in a deep voice.
Qin Shuai raised his eyebrows, if all of them were Demon Emperor Realm, then they could really be regarded as masters. The appearance of people from the Demon Emperor Realm in Aoki Town is a bit interesting.
Although Aoki Town is a big town, it is relatively remote, and there are really no masters who will come in ordinary times, because masters are not afraid of those bandits at all, and they dare to walk from Dangyang Mountain alone, and they don't have to pass by Aoki Town. Now these three outsiders suddenly came, and they would really attract attention.
However, Qin Shuai didn't care, he said casually: "It may be a cultivator from other places, passing by Aoki Town, it is also possible to rest in Aoki Town for a while." ”
Liu Yidao shook his head again and again and said: "Absolutely not, the reason why I noticed them and said that they were strange was because these three people were hiding their own realms. If I hadn't followed Zhu Da in charge, I would have seen a lot of strong people, and I guess I wouldn't have found out that they were all from the Demon Emperor Realm. And these people are definitely not passing by, I asked the innkeeper, they have booked a room in the inn for several days, and during the day they all dispersed, asking if there is a person surnamed Zhu who came in from the Yulan Empire.
"Take me to see the three masters. Qin Shuai said in a deep voice.
Seeing that Qin Shuai's gaze was a little wrong, Liu Yidao vaguely guessed something, but he didn't ask much, just nodded and took Qin Shuai to the inn.
Liu Yidao seems to be rough, but in fact, he is rough and fine, and he is a thoughtful person, otherwise Qin Shuai would not have specially picked Liu Yidao to help him.
Qin Shuai followed Liu Yidao to the inn, and the two of them found a position by the window on the second floor and sat down, waiting, until noon, Liu Yidao whispered to Qin Shuai: "Qin Gongzi, those three people on the street are." ”
Qin Shuai followed Liu Yidao's gaze, and saw three old men wearing coarse linen clothes and carrying burdens on the side of the street walking towards the door of the inn. These three people are ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary, and even their cultivation is restrained to the extreme, if it weren't for Liu Yidao's reminder, Qin Shuai would have mistakenly thought that they were at most the cultivators of the Demon King Realm. The only thing that caught the attention of the three was that one of them had a hideous whip mark on his face, which spread from the corner of his eyebrow to his chin and spread all over the right side of his face.
It was whipped out with a golden wire iron whip, and although it had been healed, it still left a hideous scar, which looked a little terrifying. If this person is really a master of the Demon Emperor Realm, then who can whip a master of this level in the face?
