Chapter 81: Continue to squeeze
In fact, letting Wangcai go to the county guard mansion early in the morning to blackmail, Shen Lingxi had already considered it.
So while Wangcai went to the county guard's mansion, Shen Lingxi took Laifu and Xiaoqiang to the Dan Pharmacy where Zhang Xueqin was last time.
After all, the five fifth-grade Qi Gathering Pills that I bought here last time had all been taken, and my cultivation had barely advanced to the next level.
Zhang Xueqin was also a little surprised by Shen Lingxi's sudden arrival, seeing that Shen Lingxi's cultivation had improved by one layer compared to the previous few days, and guessed that Shen Lingxi might have taken the fifth-grade Qi Gathering Pill, but Zhang Xueqin didn't know that Shen Lingxi had eaten all five fifth-grade Qi Gathering Pills to improve his cultivation by one level.
So when Zhang Xueqin saw Shen Lingxi, she was surprised and a little unhappy, after all, such an ordinary meeting is likely to reveal her identity.
As soon as Shen Lingxi entered the Nadan Pharmacy, he saw Zhang Xueqin's stinky face, and knew that it must be his ordinary meeting that made Zhang Xueqin a little dissatisfied.
"Laifu, Xiaoqiang, you guys are walking around here. Show Young Master Ben if there are any good things, this time Young Master Ben wants to buy a lot. Soon Wangcai will bring a silver ticket from the county guard's office, and the last time I came here, I found a lot of good things, but unfortunately last time I didn't have enough silver. You have to look at it carefully, and wait for the young master Ben to ask. β
Shen Lingxi sent Fu and Xiaoqiang to other shops on this street, and also set a task so that they would not be able to come back so soon.
Laifu and Xiaoqiang are a little puzzled, in fact, they are afraid that their young master will cross into which one is not open-minded, if they really let the young master out of any danger, I am afraid that General Pingbei will not let them go.
So Laifu and Xiaoqiang hesitated a little and said: "This, but the young master, we are all going to find good things for you, there is no one to protect your safety, this subordinate does not dare to obey his fate!"
Shen Lingxi didn't expect Laifu and Xiaoqiang to be quite loyal, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't go too far, just walk around this street." I see that the pills in this pill pharmacy last time were not bad, I will ask them to get some better grades for Young Master Ben, you can find it for Young Master Ben first, and Young Master Ben will come to you soon. Don't waste time, maybe Wangcai will come back later. I just want to find something good this time, and if I find it, I will report it to Young Master Ben!"
Seeing Shen Lingxi's resolute attitude, he also felt that he was on the same street anyway, even if the young master was in this Dan pharmacy, the two of them would be able to arrive quickly, so the two of them turned around as they walked, and began to walk towards other shops on the street, looking for rare and good things for the young master.
Shen Lingxi seemed to Fu and Xiaoqiang to walk a few hundred meters before entering the Dan Pharmacy where Zhang Xueqin was.
After entering the Dan Pharmacy, Shen Lingxi signaled Zhang Xueqin not to talk nonsense, who knows if Laifu and Xiaoqiang's cultivation can hear the conversation here a few hundred meters apart.
"Shop guy, last time you had a fifth-grade Qi Gathering Pill here, Young Master Ben had already taken it, and it felt pretty good. So here it is again this time, is there a better pill here? If there is, I will take it out for Young Master Ben, as for the silver, hehe, this is not a problem. β
Shen Lingxi said as she took out from her sleeve the plan she had written to assassinate Xiao Yuanqi, the county guard, and wrote her own plan on it.
Zhang Xueqin quickly took the note handed over by Shen Lingxi, and promised with her mouth, but her eyes quickly looked at the content of the note.
"Oh, this son, all the fifth-grade Qi Gathering Pills in the small shop have been sold to Childe. If Childe still wants this elixir, or better, it will take some time to arrive. β
Zhang Xueqin was casually perfunctory, and quickly finished reading the content on Shen Lingxi's note, feeling that Shen Lingxi's method was very good, so she nodded to Shen Lingxi.
Shen Lingxi saw that Zhang Xueqin had understood and agreed with his plan, so he didn't stay longer, so he left a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver tickets and turned around and went out.
"Okay, since you have to wait for a while, then the young master will pay a deposit and come back next time. β
After Shen Lingxi finished speaking, he walked out of this pill pharmacy, and then walked along this street, one by one the shops went in and shopped around, and some good pill talismans or low-grade magic weapons would also buy tens of thousands of taels casually.
Laifu and Xiaoqiang also quickly searched the shops on the entire street, and soon came back to report to Shen Lingxi.
"Young master, the shops on this street are relatively ordinary, the best I just saw a sixth-grade spirit gathering talisman, but the shop costs 100,000 taels of silver, which is a bit expensive. Look, young master, should we go and see? β
Shen Lingxi saw that Laifu found a sixth-grade talisman, and felt that it was okay, but the price of 100,000 taels was indeed a little expensive.
But you can't just leave it, this will probably make Laifu and Xiaoqiang feel that the Dan Pharmacy where Zhang Xueqin is located is different.
So Shen Lingxi and Laifu Xiaoqiang entered the shop that sold talismans, and after entering the store, Shen Lingxi went straight to the sixth-grade spirit talisman, and the other party really asked for 100,000 taels.
"Shopkeeper, can this sixth-grade spirit gathering talisman be cheaper, I think 70,000 taels is about the same, this 100,000 taels, you really be the young master of this is wronged!"
Shen Lingxi didn't really want this sixth-grade spirit gathering talisman anyway, he just pretended to be, so he didn't have a soft start when he cut the price.
"How can this son say this, the price of these sixth-grade talismans is more than 100,000 taels, 100,000 taels is already very cheap, if this son really wants it, 90,000 taels will be sold to the son, and the price can not be less. β
Shen Lingxi was also impatient to bargain with a shopkeeper, and now his own silver was easy to come by, so without saying a word, he took out the silver and bought the sixth-grade spirit gathering talisman.
Laifu and Xiaoqiang were shocked by the young master's bold style, and felt that the young master's actions were getting more and more arrogant.
Of course, the shopkeeper of the talisman shop was also surprised by Shen Lingxi's move, originally he thought that it would be very good to sell 80,000 taels, but he didn't expect this little boy to continue to bargain, in fact, the sixth-grade spirit talisman can be bought for 50,000 or 60,000 taels, and the price of 90,000 is indeed relatively high.
So he hurriedly cashed in the cash ticket and packed the sixth-grade spirit gathering talisman in a beautiful box for Shen Lingxi.
Shen Lingxi didn't care that this sixth-grade talisman was expensive, she just wanted to give Laifu Xiaoqiang an image of spending money lavishly, so that they wouldn't feel that Zhang Xueqin's pill store was any different.
After spending almost all the silver on his body, Shen Lingxi returned to the General's Mansion, and now he waited for Wangcai to come back with the silver from the County Guard's Mansion.
After lunchtime, Wangcai came back with a little wine.
Shen Lingxi didn't care much about Wangcai eating and drinking in the county guard's mansion, he could imagine that Wangcai went to the county guard's mansion, and the county guard Xiao Yuanqi must have tried all kinds of means to win over Wangcai, the purpose was to want Wangcai to give him a few good words, so that he could let him go this time.
It's a pity, in Shen Lingxi's heart, the ending of Xiao Yuanqi, the county guard, has long been doomed.
Listening to the process of Wangcai's bargaining with Xiao Yuanqi in the county guard's mansion, Shen Lingxi could only sigh, feeling that this Wangcai was still too naΓ―ve, or it could be that poverty limited Wangcai's imagination, in short, Shen Lingxi was not satisfied with what Wangcai said, and the result that the county guard Xiao Yuanqi would send a million taels of silver tickets three days later.
It can't be said that one million taels is less, but compared with the net worth of Xiao Yuanqi, the county guard, this really can't be considered much.
Shen Lingxi helplessly patted Wangcai's shoulder and returned the 10,000 taels of silver tickets that Wangcai took the initiative to hand over.
"Wangcai, how can I say hello! He is a county guard, and he gets more than one million taels from so many merchants in Donghua County every year, how many years has he been a county guard, how many years have you said himself. β
Shen Lingxi hated that iron could not become steel, and pointed at Wangcai for a while.
Only then did Wangcai come to his senses, and quickly knelt in front of Shen Lingxi with his head bowed, like a child who had done something wrong.
"You were fascinated by this 10,000 taels of silver, it's really promising, you take this 10,000 taels yourself, and you do it yourself to take so little, you can't blame me for not giving you a chance. β
Shen Lingxi raised his hand to Wangcai, who was kneeling on the ground, motioned for him to get up, and then put the 10,000 taels of silver tickets he got back from the county guard mansion in his hand, and then looked around and looked at Laifu and Xiaoqiang.
In this way, three days later, Wangcai went to the county guard to get back the silver ticket of one million taels. After the one million taels are in hand, you will continue to go to the county guard mansion, and say that I am very dissatisfied with this amount, and I am very unhappy that the county guard Xiao Yuanqi is so ignorant. Let him take care of it himself!"
Shen Lingxi turned his head and began to say to Laifu, and then glanced at the lost Wangcai and Xiaoqiang, who was eager to try.
"Laifu will give you the opportunity this time, how much benefit you can get from the county guard depends on your ability, but here is Young Master Ben, you have to get at least two million taels of silver to barely qualify. The opportunity is given to you, if you can't do it well, let Xiaoqiang try. β
Shen Lingxi looked at Laifu with an ecstatic face, and then looked at Wangcai with a lonely face, and finally smiled at Xiaoqiang, who was waiting a little anxiously.
"Xiaoqiang, don't worry, I think Laifu will definitely not be very satisfied with this trip, and I still want you to go in the end, don't worry!"
Xiao Qiang nodded happily when he heard the young master say this.
No one wants to see others eat meat, and they can't even drink a sip of soup, so Shen Lingxi doesn't want to disappoint the three dogs, and this is also a way to envelop them.
Hearing what the young master said, Laifu was very unconvinced, and secretly thought in his heart, this time he went to the county guard mansion to knock the county guard Xiao Yuanqi to cry and call his mother, and he would not give up if he did not smash him with oil and water.
Three days later, Wangcai successfully got back a million taels of silver tickets from the county guard's mansion, but from Wangcai's lonely expression, he knew that he was in a very bad mood at this time.
Shen Lingxi took the thick stack of silver tickets of one million taels from Wangcai's hand, and randomly drew a silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver from it and threw it in front of Wangcai.
"Okay, look at your unproductive appearance, and now you know that 10,000 taels is less. Give you this kind of beauty again and again, remember to learn smarter, and don't be impressed by the other party's rhetoric and a little benefit. We must learn to observe words and colors, and judge intentions from the behavior of the other party, so as to maximize our own interests. I know, you see that you are still making up for your losses from Young Master Ben, this is the first time, you have a good memory, next time you don't grow like this, Young Master Ben won't be so kind. You deserve the least you get!"
Shen Lingxi put away the remaining 950,000 taels of silver tickets, looked at Wangcai with a touched face, and waved him to retreat.
Wangcai has a new understanding of the young master's generosity, and now he also feels that his vision is too narrow, holding the silver ticket of 50,000 taels of silver that Shen Lingxi just gave him, and the gratitude in his heart is beyond words.
"Young master, the great kindness of the young master, I have no way to repay my prosperity in this life, and I will not disappoint the young master next time. β
Wang Caijing is really convinced of Shen Lingxi, the young master, and feels that as long as he follows the young master wholeheartedly and tries his best to do good things for the young master, he will not have to worry about this silver and career in the future.
In the following days, Laifu tried his best, coerced and lured in the county guard's mansion, and after several temptations, he finally collapsed the county guard Xiao Yuanqi's mental defense, and Xiao Yuanqi, the county guard, who felt that a catastrophe was coming, was willing to directly take out three million taels of silver to give to Shen Lingxi this time.
This time, the benefit fee for Laifu also directly rose to the level of 100,000 taels.
When a few days later, Fu handed over the silver ticket of three million taels of silver to Shen Lingxi, and Shen Lingxi generously rewarded another 100,000 taels to Laifu.
Xiaoqiang was greedy from the side, and Wangcai was jealous but convinced, after all, he only got one million taels back, and others came to Fu to get three million taels back.
However, Shen Lingxi still showed a dissatisfied expression with these money, and this time it was Xiaoqiang's turn to continue to go to the county guard's mansion.
In just a few days, Shen Lingxi got four million taels of silver from Xiao Yuanqi, the county guard, and after the silver arrived, Shen Lingxi did not mean to keep all the silver in his hands, and often took the dogs to various restaurants and theaters, and never relented when buying things.
In Zhang Xueqin's Dan Pharmacy, he spent millions of taels to buy pills and alchemy furnaces, and it is worth mentioning that the alchemy furnace was Shen Lingxi's own, which was the third-class alchemy furnace that he bought for one million taels in Runan at that time, and he spent another million to buy it back in Zhang Xueqin's shop, which is equivalent to giving you Zhang Xueqin and Elder Zhang Tiande's activity funds of one million taels.
Of course, Shen Lingxi blackmailed Xiao Yuanqi, the county guard, in this way, and squandered it after getting the money, and this kind of thing finally reached the ears of Tuoba Jun, the general of Pingbei.
On this day, Shen Lingxi was about to go out again, but he was called to the study by Tuoba Jun, who had just returned home.
Shen Lingxi had already figured out Tuoba Jun's temper during this time, and knew that Tuoba Jun's weakness was Yuwenhe's death, so he once again remembered Yuwenlong's biological father in the study.
"Woooooooooo......oo Father-in-law, when my father was dying, said that as long as I follow my father-in-law in the future, I will be able to live a good life, and I will never have to live a hard life like in the village. This Donghua County is really a good place, much better than my original village, but my son has no money, these are all costly, who told the son of the county guard to offend me. I just asked their family for money, and the county guard didn't know how to get the money. I helped his family spend a little, and my son didn't think anything was wrong!"
