Wang Dasheng had a creepy feeling, as long as he thought that no matter at any time, there might be such people around him, everything about himself might be exposed in front of these people, and his life was controlled by these people, and when he couldn't get Ren Zhao's protection, he broke out in a cold sweat, his heart was frightened, and he felt like a soldier.

It's terrible, it's terrible! With the existence of these people, what secrets can't be discovered? Who else can escape their assassination? No, definitely not!

After a while, when Wang Dasheng was terrified, the remaining black shadow pressed the relief again and opened the stone door, and the black shadow who had just entered walked out first, and the masked woman carried the black-clothed messenger and walked out.

The black-clothed envoy at this time was already the same as when he entered just now. The clothes on his body have been torn, the flesh and blood all over his body are blurred, and the white bones can already be seen in some places on his arms, and the whole person is dying.

Wang Dasheng and the three of them saw the tragic situation of the black-clothed messenger, and their hearts began to panic, since these people dared to make a move on the black-clothed messenger, then he and the others would not be an exception, unless their requirements had been met, they all prayed in their hearts, hoping that God would bless them, and these ruthless "terrorists" would let them go and stop torturing them.

But it's a pity, the facts have once again proved that it is useless to cling to Buddha's feet in a hurry, usually not religious, and now I hope that God will bless me, and I will definitely not get a response from God.

The black-clothed hand pointed at Wang Dasheng, Wang Dasheng's face changed greatly, and before he could speak, the masked woman who had restrained him lifted him and followed the black shadow into the stone room. It must have been a blur of flesh and blood when it came out.

When Wang De, who was the last to be interrogated, was brought out and thrown on the ground, the black shadow in charge of interrogation walked up to the four people, and then said lightly: "Farewell, I hope you go all the way." ”

The four of them were so shocked that they didn't have time to speak. Feeling that the invisible energy that bound the body suddenly shook, the bodies of the four people involuntarily flew up from the ground and flew towards the black shadow.

The black shadow waved his hands out, creating a phantom, and then regained its composure again.

Suddenly, a blood mark appeared on the necks of the four people at the same time, and then their heads tilted, separated from their bodies, and fell to the ground.

"Let's go!" the dark shadow was the first to leave the basement.

Four masked women left four headless bodies behind and walked out. Finally, there were two big men who had just come down and entered the stone chamber to carry out the final search work. Each carrying two cloth bags followed.

Outside, the eight big men who came out first were waiting in the room.

When everyone had come out and put the desks back in place from the outside, and there was no trace of them in sight, the black shadow told everyone to leave.

Four masked women and ten masked men, with a large amount of looted treasure, left quickly. And those black shadows have long seemed to melt into the air. It was completely gone, leaving only a silent compound. and guards lying in different corners of the compound.

Seeing Chen Fan's face smile again, Zhao Rong couldn't help but pull Chen Fan's clothes again.

"Hey, what are you laughing at? All night long, you either bow your head and don't speak, or you secretly laugh, are you thinking about how to hurt people?"

Chen Fan turned his head to look at her, smiled and shook his head silently. He is in a good mood now, and it doesn't matter what Zhao Rong says.

Zhao Rong saw Chen Fan and ignored her. A little annoyed, but helpless, I had to turn my head away and continue to listen to the conversations of the others.

I only heard Zhao Jun say: "The vertical and horizontal carry method used now is indeed much better than the previous calculation method, and it is not only easy to calculate." And it is clear at a glance, our accounting staff have said that after using it, the counting speed is at least twice as fast as before, I can't imagine that this method was actually invented by Mrs. Lin, and I really admire it. ”

"Zhao Tang Master has won the award, the concubine is a female stream, and she doesn't know martial arts, when she is bored at home on weekdays, she will only think nonsense, this method is that the concubine inadvertently thought of it when she counted it, and it was convenient for the concubine to count, and I didn't expect it to be circulated, I was really ashamed. Long Xin's lips opened slightly, and her jade face was calm, without the slightest look of joy after being praised.

"Mrs. Lin is too modest, the method you invented has greatly improved the counting speed, if it can be promoted nationwide, it will definitely be welcomed by all merchants, and when the time comes, I am afraid that all merchants will thank Madam for you." ”

"Although this method is slightly improved from the previous counting method, it still does not deviate from the previous category, and it is better when adding or subtracting small quantities, but it is difficult to do when there is a large number of addition, subtraction, or even multiples

The concubine thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of any good way to improve it. Long Xin'e frowned slightly, she was indeed a little annoyed by this question.

Wei Ying knows that Long Xin's hobby and specialty is financial management, and now all the properties in Zhongguo's family and under her name are managed by her, and all the money in and out needs to be approved by her, and over the years, she has also managed the family and the property under her name well, not only has there been no regression, but also has been greatly developed, and what she has been worried about is the settlement method of money. Due to the large number of money settlements every day, the work of bookkeepers is very cumbersome and inefficient. Although she has improved the calculation method and made the counting faster, it still does not meet her ideal requirements.

Although Wei Ying wanted to help her, it was a pity that although he was very good at fighting, when it came to the calculation of these money, he basically knew six out of seven - none of them. So I can only watch her troubles weakly and can't help her.

"Sister Yan, don't worry, I believe that you are so smart, you must be able to think of a good way. Seeing Long Xin distressed, Zhao Rong hurriedly comforted her.

When Long Xin heard this, her eyebrows stretched, looked at Zhao Rong and smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you, Sister Rong, I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Seeing Long Xin's smile, Zhao Rong immediately smiled, and when she turned her head to see Chen Fan bowing her head there, she didn't care about what was happening around her, the banquet had been going on for so long, she was either eating or bowing her head in contemplation. From time to time, he showed a hint of a "sinister" smile, look, and now he began to smile "insidiously" again, and I don't know what he was thinking.

I asked him several times, but he didn't answer, even this beautiful and beautiful woman beside him sat here for so long. He didn't even look at it, as if he couldn't see it, which was really irritating.

Zhao Rong suddenly rolled her eyes, and thought about it, don't you want to speak, I just want you to say it. Didn't you ignore me, and I just wanted you to answer my question.

Thinking of this, Zhao Rong suddenly coughed lightly twice, attracting everyone's attention first. Then he said: "What Sister Yan said about the counting problem just now, I see that Young Master Chen Fanxing is smiling and confident, I'm afraid he has already had an experience, why don't we ask him to say it and share it with Ruzhao?"

"Okay. And they all applauded.

Chen Fan was awakened by everyone's shouts, and looked at the people who were looking at him in amazement, not knowing what was going on.

"Please ask Young Master Chen Fanxing to answer this problem for us. Zhao Rong was secretly proud in her heart. This time, depending on how you answer, tell you to ignore me. On the surface, he still has a smile on his face. I didn't show the slightest bit of smugness in my heart.

"What kind of difficult questions to answer?" Chen Fan didn't pay attention to what the others were talking at all, and of course he didn't know what topics they were talking about.

"It's just that the current counting method is too low, what tools and methods do you think is better to count?" Zhao Rong explained patiently, she wanted to see how speechless Chen Fan was asked.

That must be good-looking, haha! Zhao Rong was smiling in her heart.

"Then use the calculations...... The abacus you use. Chen Fan hadn't fully woken up yet, so he couldn't help blurting out. I almost said "calculator", but fortunately I woke up quickly and quickly changed my words to "abacus".

"What is an abacus? I've never heard of it. Zhao Rong looked at Chen Fan with a puzzled expression, he wouldn't be unable to answer, just talk nonsense.

Arithmetic is what everyone knows. But the name abacus is the first time I have heard it today, is it because all the abacus chips are put in one plate, so it is called abacus? Everyone was very puzzled, and they all looked at Chen Fan curiously, waiting for his answer.

"Uh, haven't you heard of it?" Chen Fan looked at everyone again, and found that Zhao Jun and they were all shaking their heads, indicating that they hadn't heard of it, and couldn't help but have a little headache, "Then what do you use to calculate?"

"It's just a small wooden strip made of wood or bamboo, you haven't heard of it, right?" Zhao Rong looked incredulous.

"Well, it turned out to be a calculation, I've heard of it. Chen Fan only then got the memory of this world from his brain, and there was also this information in Chen Fan's memory, after all, his father was a businessman, so it was impossible not to have been exposed to this aspect of things. It's just that I didn't react for a while.

"I know you're still asking, tell me quickly, what exactly is your abacus, and why can it improve the calculation speed?" Zhao Rong had a look on her face that I knew, and thought to herself: I know that you are pretending, otherwise how could you not even have heard of the calculation.

"The abacus, it is actually similar to the abacus, but it replaces the wooden strips and bamboo strips with wooden beads, and then strings them up with bamboo sticks, six pieces per string, and then arranges more than a dozen of these wooden beads into a row, and fixes them with wooden strips up and down, and then separates them with wooden strips in the middle of each string of wooden beads, and then uses two wooden strips to fix the upper and lower two wooden strips on the left and right, so that an abacus is formed. Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Chen Fan had to explain in detail.

"Then how do you count?" Unexpectedly, Chen Fan could really come up with such an "abacus", Zhao Rong couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"It's very simple, from right to left, the first stick is the unit, then the ten, the hundred, and the thousand...... Until the tens of millions, tens of thousands, and even higher. Each bead under the beam represents 'one', each bead above represents 'five', and the total number of beads in each string adds up to exactly ten, and other counting methods are similar to counting chips. Chen Fan now regrets a little bit that he blurted out the "abacus" just now, isn't that asking for trouble?

After listening to this, everyone couldn't help but bow their heads and ponder, and after a while, everyone's faces were happy, and it seemed that everyone had figured out the benefits of "abacus".

"This 'abacus' is really good, if it can be applied, it will definitely make the counting speed in the future greatly improved, and it is easy to carry, you can take it out and count anywhere, it is a very, very good tool." In fact, Zhao Jun has been plagued by those accounting problems. Now I can't help but praise that there is such a good tool in place.

"By the way, Mr. Chen, who invented this tool? Zhao Jun couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Well, I stumbled across a book and don't know who invented it. Chen Fan felt a little helpless in his heart. Sure enough, the more you talk about it, the more troublesome it becomes.

"Oh, I don't know which book Mr. Chen saw it from? Zhao Jun then asked.

"I read it and forgot about it, and then I didn't even know where the book went, and I couldn't find it again. So now it's me, and I can't find that book, otherwise I'll show it to Hall Master Zhao. "Where did Chen Fan find such a book, he had to blow it up.

"That's a shame. Zhao Jun sighed on the surface, but in his heart he was secretly thinking: You just blow it. If there is such a book there, if there is really such a tool as the "abacus" recorded in the book, how can it not be known to the world? If someone had invented such a convenient and easy-to-use tool as the "abacus" before, and it would have replaced the abacus a long time ago, I am afraid that this "abacus" was invented by yourself, right?

The thoughts in other people's hearts are similar to what Zhao Jun thinks, but they can't figure out why Chen Fan wants to hide the "fact" that he invented the abacus. That's a good thing, and getting it out will only bring a good reputation. And there will be no bad effects, why hide it? I can't figure it out!

"May I ask Mr. Chen, can you tell me about the specific production method and use method of 'abacus'?" Long Xin next to him couldn't help but take the initiative to ask.

The problem of inefficient counting has always bothered her, and although she has improved the original counting method, the results are still not up to her ideals. Now that she heard that such a good new tool had appeared, she just thought about it for a while, and felt that this tool had met her ideal requirements, so she rarely took the initiative to speak to a strange man.

"I can't tell you these things in a short time, but I'll talk about them when I have a chance later. Chen Fan wanted to end the topic. He didn't expect that just casually saying the word "abacus" attracted everyone's constant questioning, and he wouldn't say it if he knew it, but Chen Fan underestimated the attraction of "abacus" to Long Xin, and she still chased after her: "Then the concubine will visit Mr. tomorrow and ask Mr. for advice." ”

"Tomorrow, haha, let's talk about it tomorrow. Chen Fan snorted and didn't answer positively.

Long Xin glanced at Chen Fan with strange eyes and didn't ask any more questions.

"Hmph, pretending to be a ghost, what's the big deal, don't you just know an 'abacus', and you don't even say that Sister Yan took the initiative to ask you. When the others saw that Chen Fan seemed unwilling to continue, they all changed the topic willingly, only Zhao Rong, who did not have a deep understanding of the role of "abacus", was still complaining in a low voice.

In fact, Zhao Rong secretly admired Chen Fan a little, she had never seen a man refuse the opportunity to get along with her sister Yan, and she didn't even look at it much, the banquet had been started for so long, only when she first came and when she answered the question just now, she had never looked at it with her eyes at other times, and she really doubted whether he was a man or not.

Which of the other men is not trying to seize every opportunity to talk to Sister Yan, and which one is not eager to get along with Sister Yan for the rest of his life, only this Chen Fan, who is not good-looking at all, will take the initiative to give up the opportunity to talk and get along with Sister Yan like avoiding snakes and scorpions.

In the following time, Chen Fan returned to his silence and handed over the opportunity to speak to others.

As soon as the banquet was over, Chen Fan immediately said goodbye and left quickly, he still had something to do.

Chen Fan avoided the trouble of everyone asking about the "abacus", but a new trouble came again.

Early the next morning, Zhao Jun came to find Chen Fan.

"Something happened to the Wang family!" Seeing Chen Fan's eyes looking at him suspiciously, Zhao Jun didn't say anything polite, and went straight to the point.

"Which Wang family, which Wang family, what happened?" Chen Fan frowned, looking puzzled.

"It's the Wang family of Wang De who had a conflict with you yesterday," Seeing that Chen Fan couldn't seem to remember, Zhao Jun reminded him, "Wang De's father is Wang Dasheng, the prefect of Yun'an Mansion, and he is also the city lord of Octagonal City, we just received the news, just last night, he and his son Wang De. and Ma Yuan, all disappeared together. ”

"All the guards of his house were knocked unconscious on the ground, and when they woke up, they couldn't tell what had happened, only a few people saw a dark shadow appear in front of them, and then they were knocked unconscious, and most of them fainted without even seeing the figure. Wang Dasheng's wife and subordinates said that they did not hear any movement, and they did not find anything unusual. ”

"Because there is also a light car captain Ma Yuan who disappeared with Wang Dasheng. He belongs to the Yun'an Mansion garrison, and now this case has been taken over by the Yun'an Mansion garrison, and Tian Daming, the supreme commander of the Yun'an Mansion garrison, is afraid that he will come here soon to visit our Zhao family. ”

"Why?"

"Because there was no trace of Ren Zhao fighting at the scene of the disappearance of the Wang family's father and son at that time, there were not many forces in the Octagon City that could silently kidnap the Wang family father and son, and make the innate master Ma Yuan unresistible, and the recent conflict with the Wang family father and son and Ma Yuan at the same time is only our Zhao family. ”

"They only had a conflict with our Zhao family yesterday during the day, and we even made cruel words, saying that we would not give up, and there was an accident last night. It is not okay if you want others not to suspect us, fortunately we are the Zhao family, and no Zhao people dare to come here to arrest people without substantial evidence, otherwise we and you would have been taken away by those soldiers for review. Zhao Jun said with a wry smile.

"Did you do that?"

"Of course it's not us, we are already in charge, and if we want to trouble them, we will go for them openly, and we don't need to sneak around to catch them. ”

"Since it's not you, what are you afraid of?"

"We're not afraid. Rather, I feel that there is some trouble, and what we are most afraid of is that they will come to you. ”

"Me?"

"Yes. For the people of our Zhao family. Tian Daming didn't dare to be presumptuous, he definitely didn't dare to deal with us openly, but you are different, you are just a new recruit from us, and you can only be regarded as a peripheral member of our Zhao family, for you. Tian Daming will definitely not be soft, only if he has the opportunity, he will definitely arrest you for interrogation, so don't go out during this time, or stay in the station to cultivate. ”

"As long as it's in our Zhao family's station. Absolutely no one dares to come to you for trouble, anyway, we will go to the capital in a few days, and as soon as we leave, Tian Daming will not be able to help us, even if he is given a great courage, he will not dare to go to the capital to arrest people. ”

"Good. Chen Fan didn't have anything to do outside, so he readily agreed.

"That's great, I'm here to talk to you about this today, and now that you understand, I still have to make some preparations, so I'll go first. ”

Zhao Jun said, stood up and nodded to Chen Fan, turned around and left.

Chen Fan lowered his head and thought for a while, then returned to his room, asked Huo Shan and Huo Wu to wait outside the door, and did not let anyone else in, and then closed the door, found a chair to sit down, and took out two wooden boxes from the storage pool.

When I opened the two wooden boxes, I saw that there was a rectangular object and a broken map inside.

The material of the two incomplete maps is also the same, although they are not two parts that are connected, but the material, the lines and drawings on the map, the year, etc., are all the same, and it should be the same map.

The two rectangular objects are exactly the same except for the different colors of their appearances, whether they are size, weight, or material, they are exactly the same, holding a rectangle in both hands, and then contemplating and observing.

Chen Fan found that these two cuboids had a strange attraction to him, and when he first got the orange cuboid before, he didn't have an obvious feeling, but now when he picked it up again, he had already found some strangeness about these two cuboids.

When Chen Fan's mind condensed on the cuboid, a sense of oppression came from the cuboid, as if he was not facing an unknown object like two pieces of wood, but a terrifying beast.

What are these two things? Could they be two treasures? Or are they two divine weapons? After fixing his mind, Chen Fan tried to input power into it, the first object of the test was the orange rectangular object, and the input was the "Divine Qi", because this kind of energy can make the Divine Soldiers react, if these two things are divine weapons, then they should react to the "Divine Qi".

It kept being transported for a while, but the orange object did not appear as abnormal as Ren Zhao, nor did it produce Ren Zhao's reaction.

I don't know if it's because the orange object itself is not a divine weapon, or because the "Divine Qi" only works on some divine weapons, but the result is that the "Divine Qi" has no effect on the orange object, and the experiment failed!

Chen Fan was unwilling, the "Divine Qi" was not good, so he would use the "Power of the Beast Soul".

A beast soul power poured into the orange object from Chen Fan's hand, Chen Fan sensed it carefully, but there was no response, and there was still no reaction from Ren Zhao! It seems that his own power has no effect on this orange object.

Just as Chen Fan wanted to stop transmitting the "Beast Soul Power", the orange object suddenly reacted, and a terrifying aura was released from the orange object, which made Chen Fan involuntarily feel a sense of fear in his heart.

Chen Fan felt that he was no longer facing a small thing, but facing the majestic mountains and the magnificent ocean, and in front of it, Chen Fan only felt extremely small.

From the terrifying aura, although Chen Fan felt a little suffocated, he still vaguely felt that there was an incomparably terrifying power in the orange object. Although he couldn't know exactly how powerful this force was, Chen Fan knew that with his current strength, if he faced this force, there would be only one result - it would be wiped out, without exception.

The horror of this power has never been felt by Chen Fan in anyone else. Compared with this force, the innate masters that Chen Fan met were equivalent to a newborn baby facing an adult man, and they could not be compared at all.

Chen Fan's heart was shocked, and the "Beast Soul Power" stopped transmitting, and then the terrifying aura subsided, and the surroundings returned to normal.

With a long sigh, Chen Fan suddenly found that after just a short while, the clothes on his body were already soaked with cold sweat. That terrifying aura of power made Chen Fan feel for the first time that the power he had now was so small and so insignificant.

Since the orange cuboid contains terrifying power, then the cyan cuboid should be the same. Although that terrifying aura of power made Chen Fan feel very uncomfortable, he still put the "Beast Soul Power" into the cyan cuboid.

The same feeling, the same terrifying aura of power, made Chen Fan feel that powerful sense of oppression again. The cyan cuboid is indeed the same as the orange cuboid, and it also contains a terrifying power.

It's getting stranger and stranger, what exactly are these two cuboids, why do they contain such a terrifying aura of power? and......

One question after another appeared in Chen Fan's mind, but none of them could get a complete answer.

Just as Chen Fan was thinking about the problem, the descendants of the Zhao family came to tell him, and Mrs. Lin came to visit. (To be continued......)
