( 271 ) Rumors are everywhere
Getting rid of the mysterious man's tracking, Chen Li did not rush home, but wandered around the streets, and he still needed to buy some things to visit his mother.
After strolling down the street for nearly an hour, Chen Li slowly walked home.
This mysterious person who followed him was very strong, and he must be a master, in order to prevent him from having other means to discover Chen Li, Chen Li could only be careful and careful.
In case it was known that this enhancement potion was sold from his Chen Li's hands, not only him, but even the Chen family would have to face the baptism of the Bloody Light Calamity.
When he finally got home, Chen Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, asked the servant, and went directly to find Chen Xiao.
"Li'er, you're back. When Chen Xiao saw Chen Li enter the door, the expression on his face was very calm, and he couldn't help but feel shocked in his heart.
Could it be that this kid really got back five hundred taels of gold?
Or rather, got the majority of the five hundred taels?
The Chen family still has some savings, and he can just take out some to make up for it.
"Second uncle, I've kept you waiting. Chen Li smiled faintly, knowing that Chen Xiao looked calm, but his heart had already exploded.
Sure enough, Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask first: "Li'er, what's going on with the five hundred taels of gold?"
Chen Li nodded, took out a box full of gold from the storage bag, and said, "Second uncle, five hundred taels of gold, it's not bad at all!"
Yes?!
Chen Xiao was completely stupid, and even the other high-level people on the side who didn't understand what was going on widened their eyes, and their faces were full of incredulity.
"This ...... This ......" Chen Xiao was so excited that he couldn't even speak very well.
Chen Li smiled and looked at the old guys in the room. On weekdays, it's a posture of being high up and no one is a bird. What now?
It's not like you're going to open your mouth wide and your eyes wide for five hundred taels of gold.
Side. Some people had been waiting for a long time, so they went straight to the box and opened it, and looked at it carefully.
After a while, the man said excitedly: "Master of the family! It is indeed five hundred taels of gold! Not a single cent!"
Chen Li smiled silently, and then said: "Second uncle, the money is enough now, but don't be in a hurry to make a noise!"
Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, immediately understood, and said with a smile: "There is really no need to make a noise." I heard that after this incident, rumors were everywhere in Fengxue City, and many gambling houses opened gambling tables to see if our Chen family could afford to pay back the money. ”
Open a market?
This is a good thing! Chen Li was happy in his heart, the more lively this matter was, the more fun it became.
Chen Li didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with the high-level officials of the Chen family here, so he said hello, and didn't give Chen Xiao a chance to ask where the money came from, so he left.
"Hey. Li'er, you have really grown up, and you can do such a difficult thing. Chen Xiao felt a lot of emotion in her heart, looking at the back of Chen Li leaving. There were no words for a long time.
After a long time, Chen Xiao laughed out loud and said, "Big brother." Did you see it in the Heavenly Spirit? Chen Li is already old, and he is now a man who stands up to the heavens and the earth!"
As soon as these words came out. The rest of the Chen family was also embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say about Chen Li's changes.
But. The Chen family is still more grateful to Chen Li, if it weren't for the five hundred taels of gold that Chen Li took out, how to spend this time is a problem.
Back in his courtyard, Chen Li sat down cross-legged and began to meditate and cultivate.
The Zhao family's affairs will not end like this, Chen Li can think of it, the Zhao family came to find trouble, it was 100% Zhao Lu's idea.
First, it is for revenge, and second, I am afraid that it is for Chen Li and the Chen family to be strangled on the road to rise.
"Zhao Lu, Zhao Lu, you dare to calculate me like this, snatch money from my pocket, you need to be prepared, I will pay it back!" Chen Li's eyes flashed, and he put this matter aside for the time being and concentrated on cultivation.
The third uncle of Zhao Lu, that is, the third uncle of the Zhao family, is also a magician, but he is a fire magician.
This is a niche skill in the Zhao family, which is mainly based on swordsmen and combat effectiveness, you must know that the most powerful thing about the Zhao family is the endless potential of swordsman disciples, as for the magician skill books, there are few pitiful.
But even so, the third child of the Zhao family has always been focused on training since he was a child, after all, the Zhao family has money, and they don't have skill books to spend money on to buy and rob.
Zhao Laosan's cultivation all the way was very smooth, coupled with his good talent, he was also well-known in Wind and Snow City, and he was a potential stock in the mage circle.
Zhao Laosan, who always carries an arrogance on weekdays, now encounters such a thing in the Chen family, so naturally he will not give up easily, and begins to talk around and spread rumors.
In a high-end restaurant in Fengxue City, Zhao Laosan was eating and drinking with a few friends who had a good relationship, and talked about the Chen family.
"Hehe, don't you know, the Chen family has lost the dart now, and it is weapons and equipment worth five hundred taels of gold! They can't afford to pay it back at all, even if they are bankrupt!" Zhao Laosan took a sip of wine and said beautifully, after this matter is done, he will get a lot of benefits, after all, the Chen family still has a lot of valuable things.
"Hey, third brother, let alone the Chen family, even other big families don't want to find five hundred taels of gold in such a short period of time!"
"That is, five hundred taels of gold, it's not a small amount, this time the Chen family is going to be finished!"
When Zhao Laosan heard this, he was even more proud, his mouth grinned to the root of his ears, and he said with a smile: "The Chen family is going to be miserable this time, and they are going to be embarrassed, maybe they will sell their sons and daughters, and you will buy what you should buy when the time comes, but the price should be cheaper!"
Everyone laughed out loud, they all had various relationships with the Zhao family, and the Zhao family's dominance was only good for them, not harmful.
As for the Chen family, that's just a small wave, how long can it be tossed?
Zhao Laosan's mind is very meticulous, the people he is looking for are all big mouths, and they like to share any news with their other fox friends and dog friends, and it won't take long for it to be known all over the city.
Even Zhao Laosan gave ideas to others, such as Chen Li, a young man with good strength. If any mercenary group can buy it, it will definitely be cannon fodder with infinite benefits.
But once a teenager like Chen Li was sold to a mercenary group in exchange for gold. Then he should be really useless, and don't want to turn over in this life. It's a shame to the end. When I got home sad, there was no hope for me to look up.
Gossip is always scary, and in an extremely short period of time, the news has spread throughout Storm City.
Whether it is true or false, many families related to the Chen family have begun to calculate their own little abacus, should they lend a helping hand to help the Chen family tide over the difficulties at this time?
The answer was soon revealed.
In the afternoon, there was a wave of people in front of Chen's house.
"Inform the head of the Chen family, my Liu family has something to say to him. An old man with a black face said with a gloomy face. With her hands on her back, she was followed by a girl with dark skin and a really good look.
As soon as the guards heard that the people from the Liu family were coming, they hurriedly went in to report.
Subsequently, Chen Xiao received the old man of the Liu family in the side hall.
"Ah, Old Liu, why bother you to come over in person?" Chen Xiao said politely, although the drum in his heart has already begun, but the face matter still has to be passable.
The old man surnamed Liu blushed. But it was not obvious under the black skin, and he coughed, but finally said, "Brother Chen, there is something I have to mention." My little granddaughter fell in love with the young master of another family. If you want to die or live, you have to get married, I really have no choice after tossing for a few days, do you see the marriage we talked about before, should we discuss it again?"
The old man's words were very tactful. But no matter how euphemistic it is, it seems so harsh.
Chen Xiao's face changed instantly, and he snorted gloomily. said mercilessly: "Elder Liu, I admire you for being an elder. But now you'd do such a thing. ”
The old man was said to be very embarrassed, but when he thought of the current situation of the Chen family, he strengthened his thoughts in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Master Chen, I won't say anything else, everyone saves face for each other." My little granddaughter's marriage is still withdrawn, and as for the bride price, I have already brought it. ”
Chen Xiao's angry body trembled slightly, his eyes seemed to kill someone, and he said coldly: "Hmph, since the Liu family fell into the well while my Chen family was in trouble, then I, Chen Xiao, have nothing else to say." Drop-off!"
At this point, it is useless to say more. The old man left with the people, and when he left the door of Chen's house, he glanced at the little granddaughter with dark skin and really bad looks, and his face was full of disgust.
If it weren't for this, would he have done it with a clear conscience?
At this time, the Chen family had fallen into a very awkward atmosphere. Only a few people knew that the money had arrived, but these people were all silenced, and Chen Xiao just wanted to see how many people would be hacked at this time.
What made Chen Xiao angry the most was the old man's excuse, what kind of bullshit reason?
Your little granddaughter looks so scary, the young master of the Chen family can take a fancy to you and give you face, and now she is even divorced!
"Hmph, I'll make you look good then!" Chen Xiao clenched his fist and then let go.
These are hidden dangers, and it's a good idea to take this opportunity to get rid of them.
"Report ...... Family...... The head of the family! The people of the Wang family also arrived, saying that they wanted to leave their relatives!" The servant came to report, the people of the Liu family had just left, and the people of the Wang family came again, and they were more direct and sharp.
Chen Xiao smiled silently, shook his head, and was not angry in his heart, he sat down directly, and said, "Okay, then let them come!
One after another, many people came to the Chen family, most of them had business dealings with the Chen family, and the purpose of their coming was very simple and clear, that is, to clear up the relationship with the Chen family, so as not to be hated and troubled by the Zhao family when the Chen family completely collapsed.
Chen Xiao didn't say anything about these people who fell into the well and saw the wind steering the rudder, just watched silently, and everything was promised.
The money has already been obtained, but Chen Xiao still doesn't have the idea of spreading the news, he thinks about it more.
After all, I don't know how Chen Li got the money, in case something goes wrong again, the Chen family will be even more difficult.
Besides, asking his nephew to help him come up with such a large sum of money to pay off his debts is unjustified after all, and it's a shame!
"What a bunch of wall grass! There will be times when you will regret it. "Chen Li has predicted these situations, everyone is for a benefit, and it is not extravagant to be able to help at this time, and it is very good not to stab you in the back.
Soon, Chen Li got another interesting news. (To be continued......)
