Chapter 24: Money
Chen Qingshan only felt that the wind and snow tonight were a little heavy, perhaps because bad luck always haunted the miserable. It's just that who has ever seen a rich man starve to death and freeze to death, in the end, it's just a word "money".
There were coffin craftsmen in the village, and after the simple ceremony of Sanzang, Chen Qingshan and Xihan sent A-Niang out together.
The yellow paper was flying in the north wind, and there was a spirit flag standing on the grave bag, fluttering, falling on Xihan's face, as if A-Niang was saying her final goodbye to Xihan.
Xihan was a little stunned, his eyes were blank, and without A-Niang, he didn't know what to do in the future.
Chen Qingshan didn't know how long he had been standing in front of the grave with Xihan, but the wind and snow stopped and fell, and even Chen Qingshan felt a little cold.
"Qingshan, is there no one who cares about Xihan as much as A-Niang anymore?" Xihan seemed to have opened his mind and asked a question that Chen Qingshan didn't know how to answer.
There was silence again.
On the way back, everyone met a woman, a woman from Hancheng, whose appearance under the cloak was not as good as Ah Lan, but it was also moving.
"Xihan, the owner of the fang wants to kill Le'er!" The woman lifted her cloak and spoke.
The owner of the workshop in the woman's mouth is the owner of the drunken cloud workshop in Hancheng, the so-called drunken cloud workshop, just like the smelling incense lane in Jishui Town, is the land of wind and moon in Hancheng.
And Le'er, like Xihan, is an outlier in Hancheng, for no other reason, Le'er is a shark who was washed out of Hancheng by a drinking canal in the sea.
The merman has a good appearance and a beautiful singing voice. It was bought from the fisherman by the owner of Zuiyunfang and sang songs to the guests to achieve the purpose of attracting customers.
Xihan used to do manual work in Zuiyun Fang, so he met Le'er and became friends with Le'er, who was also excluded.
To be precise, in a group of normal people with different minds, two outliers became friends.
Le'er sang a song to Xihan on the other side of the sea, and also gave Xihan food.
Xihan knew that without Le'er's help, A-Niang would not be able to survive now. It's just that in the past few days, Le'er has disappeared.
And now from the mouths of Le'er's sisters who have some friendships, Xihan knows that it was the owner of Zuiyun Fang who imprisoned Le'er and wanted to kill people to take pearls.
The reason is that there are pearls in the skull, and this pearl is magnificent.
The birthday of Mrs. Ling of Hancheng County is approaching, and Zuiyunfang mainly uses this pearl as a congratulatory gift.
Xihan panicked when he heard this, and strode towards Hancheng.
Xihan's speed is very fast, even Chen Qingshan and the others can't keep up with him, Xihan runs, and his whole body exudes heat, which is a manifestation of the steaming of qi and blood in the body, and even melts the ice and snow.
The strength of Qi and blood shown by the current Xihan is not below that of a second-realm martial artist.
Xihan is a natural-raised person, although he is simple-minded, but God also gave him a good physique, Xihan is simply a natural martial artist.
After running for nearly half an hour, Xihan finally came to the outside of Hancheng, and among the four people who followed behind, only Chen Qingshan could barely see Xihan's back.
Under Chen Qingshan's gaze, Xihan disappeared into the Hancheng City Tower and went straight to the place where Zuiyunfang was located.
"Yo, isn't that a fool? Why did you come to Drunken Cloud Fang, and you didn't get beaten enough? "The two miscellaneous servants of Drunken Cloud Fang saw Xihan, as gangsters in the market, they usually bully Xihan.
As the ordinary people of Hancheng, in Zuiyunfang, they are accustomed to the bullying and humiliation of those young masters and sons of rich families, and they also vent this humiliation on people who are not as good as themselves, or the beggars on the street corners, or the fool in front of them who is bullied by others and never fights back.
"My hands are itchy." The two handymen glanced at each other, smiled hideously, lifted their sticks and rushed towards Xihan.
While running, he shouted: "Come, Hanzi, watch the fight!" ”
Then, two screams rang out, and the two flew into the air before falling to the ground.
"Come on, that kid is coming to Zuiyunfang to make trouble!" A handyman clutched his waist on the ground and shouted into the Drunken Cloud Workshop.
Four martial artists from the first realm ran out of the courtyard and surrounded Xihan.
"Kill!" With a knife, he slashed at Xihan.
Xihan flicked his hands to both sides, pushed the two away, and before he could react, the knives of the other two fell on Xihan's body, and blood flowed down Xihan's back.
Xihan is just vigorous in qi and blood, he is simple-minded, he can't control the qi and blood in his body at all, and now he is acting on instinct, and it's okay to deal with ordinary people who have no cultivation, but once he meets a monk, he is injured.
Xi Han ignored the injuries on his body, and after roaring, he rushed into the Zuiyun Fang, close to a zhang tall, coupled with a blood-stained body, it was extremely oppressive, and frightened many people who came to find incense.
But there are also people who are upstairs looking at the joy of being like sleepy beasts, and laughing with the girl next to them with great interest, and they are the powerful people in the city.
The appearance of Xihan made them feel a little promising.
"Le'er, Le'er, where are you?" Xihan shouted.
The four martial artists behind him had already caught up, slashing at Xihan's body with knives, Xihan was in pain, and grabbed the seat next to him to resist.
It's just that there are more and more wounds on his body, and the four martial artists have also discovered Xihan's shortcomings, just consuming him on the side, not fighting with him, just like a hyena cooperating with hunting.
"Hanzi, after all, he is just a Hanzi, and he has no strength." Takeo sneered.
Xihan became a bloody man, but he still kept calling Le'er's name in his mouth.
A guest next to him laughed and raised his glass to enjoy the gladiatorial killing.
"Sun Shao, how long do you think this kid can last?" Someone upstairs asked the boy next to him.
And the Sun Shao in his mouth is named Sun Yao, who is the son of the Sun family in Hancheng, and the Sun family is the richest man in the city.
In addition, the Sun family is also friendly with the county magistrate, and it can be said that they have hands and eyes in Hancheng.
Sun Yao took a sip of the wine: "This kid is interesting, the music in his mouth is the merman." ”
"Although he is a fool, his qi and blood are indeed vigorous, and he has reached the level of a martial artist in the second realm, and his physique should be able to support a pillar of incense." Sun Yao touched his chin and said indifferently.
"Sun Shaogao!" The person next to him hurriedly flattered and poured a full bottle of wine for Sun Yao.
"Hmm." Sun Yao seemed to enjoy such a compliment, and nodded beautifully.
It didn't take time for a pillar of incense for Chen Qingshan to arrive, and he saw the bloody joy in the building.
"Stop!" Chen Qingshan shouted, and the four martial artists couldn't figure out Chen Qingshan's intention, so they stopped the knife in their hands.
Looking at the changes downstairs, Sun Yao, who was drinking upstairs, slowly frowned, obviously it was Chen Qingshan's appearance that made him lose face.
"Look at what, go on, kill Ben Shao, if you can kill this bastard in a pillar of incense, Ben Shao will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver per person!" Sun Yao threw the wine cup downstairs and shouted downstairs.
When the four martial artists saw the people upstairs, they lifted their knives again, not to mention whether they could afford to provoke Sun Yao, even the hundred taels of silver, which they could not ignore, in Zuiyunfang, their monthly silver was only thirty taels.
Chen Qingshan looked at the people upstairs, sacrificed his flying sword, and instantly shredded the knives of the four martial artists. The flying sword hovered in the sky, so that the four martial artists did not dare to act rashly.
The threat in Chen Qingshan's eyes was self-evident: "I'll take a thousand taels and buy Xihan to leave here safely!" ”
Chen Qingshan is rich, and that is the inheritance left by the Ghost Punishment Divine Son.
The onlookers gasped, they couldn't imagine that this young man who didn't know where to come out of nowhere was so generous and fought with Sun Yao to get rich.
"Two thousand taels, buy that son to die!" Sun Yao said.
"Four thousand taels." Chen Qingshan was not annoyed, he doubled it directly, anyway, what was really precious in Chen Qingshan's storage ring was the two drops of divine blood and the flesh and blood of the ancient god sewing corpse maker, money or something, Chen Qingshan didn't care much.
All in all, I have money, and I don't treat money as money.
"Five thousand!" Sun Yao popped out of his mouth, but his heart was dripping blood, although he was the son of the richest man in Hancheng, the silver in his hand was only tens of thousands of taels.
"Ten thousand." Chen Qingshan looked at Sun Yao, as if to say, you are a little garbage, you don't dare to double the money.
Sun Yao gritted his teeth, glanced at Chen Qingshan, snorted coldly, and sat down with his sleeves brushed.
The onlookers were stunned, this guy was fighting with the richest man in the city, and the key was that he still won.
Then, Chen Qingshan said again: "Add another 10,000 taels, and I will redeem myself for that Le'er!" ”
When the words fell, everyone was in an uproar, even the owner of the Drunken Cloud Workshop couldn't sit still, and walked out from the highest building, wearing a green gauze covered body, with a plump figure, and there seemed to be autumn water in his eyes, seducing the soul.
Young lady, the owner of Drunken Cloud Fang.
The young lady looked at the young man downstairs with some curiosity, and the shot was 20,000 taels, so generous, you know, the best shark pearl is only a few thousand taels, and the price given by this young man has far exceeded the price of the shark pearl.
Chen Qingshan also looked up at the young lady, there was no fear in his eyes, and he commented in his heart that he was not as good as Mrs. Peach Blossom, let alone Ah Lan.
"This son, Le'er is a merman in the East China Sea, and he is unique in the entire Han City." The young lady was moved, but she still wanted to raise the price, after all, she opened Zuiyunfang for money.
"A total of 30,000 taels, I'll take Xihan and Le'er away, don't talk about it anymore, you kill them, I'll go by myself." Chen Qingshan doesn't talk nonsense, he is rich, and he can not treat money as money, but he is definitely not stupid.
The young lady smiled: "Deal." ”
Isn't it just a gift for the county lady, take 5,000 taels, and you can get a better one than shark pearls from the state capital in the future, and make a net profit of 25,000 taels, and the young lady is very satisfied.
Chen Qingshan was not pretentious, and took out three silver tickets with a face value of 10,000 and slapped them on the table.
And the merman named Le'er was also brought out by the young lady, and he paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other.
"Childe, come and play when you have time!" The young lady took all the servants of Zuiyun Fang, and nearly 100 people lined up outside the fang to see off Chen Qingshan, the big gold owner.
Sanzang, Chang Xin, and Ah Lan just arrived outside Zuiyunfang and saw this scene.
You must know that the tax revenue of the entire Hancheng City is only hundreds of thousands of taels a year, and Chen Qingshan threw out nearly one-tenth of the tax revenue of Hancheng with a wave of his hand.
That night, there was a little sword cultivator who spent a lot of money in Hancheng. He understood a truth, sometimes it doesn't matter if you kill someone or save someone, you don't have to use a sword, you can use money.
