Chapter 211: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
The soft sunlight shone on the body, bringing a melting warmth, Xin Dayuan squinted his eyes slightly, and lay lazily on the bench in the courtyard as if he was asleep, and the servants were scattered in the princely manor in front of him, each serving as a deacon.
Not far away, three well-trained snail girls play melodious songs with guzheng, yueqin and long flute.
Xin Dayuan's fingers moved slightly, tapping on the armrest according to the beat, looking extremely leisurely, but in his heart, he was secretly calculating the income from making and selling counterfeits in recent days.
This time, he teamed up with Wang Ji and Tong Li to cooperate in the business, and the benefits were indeed quite rich, but it seemed that he had begun to attract the attention of the Four Seas Treasure Building and even the Chamber of Commerce behind it, and some people followed up and investigated it repeatedly.
Fortunately, Wang Ji and Tong Li were strong and avoided them with a variety of methods, so they were able to be safe and sound.
It seems that after this while, we have to pause and avoid the limelight.
However, this kind of business is so cost-effective, no matter how you say it, it is impossible to give it up easily, and the temporary dormancy is for better income in the future, and he is planning whether to go deeper into the ocean and continue to refine this incense pill.
"This is really a good thing, a small one can sell dozens or hundreds of pills, and after deceiving here, you can go elsewhere to cheat, fools really don't need too many ......"
Thinking of the beauty, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his beard seemed to fly.
If this continues, over time, it will inevitably succeed in building the foundation, and the avenue of money is still quite advantageous in the low-level realm.
Suddenly, Xin Dayuan sensed a chilling murderous aura surging up, as if it was chilling to the bone.
Xin Dayuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky, only to see a man and a woman standing out of thin air, appearing above the courtyard at some point.
His cold sweat suddenly flowed out, and the beautiful scenery in his heart completely dissipated, like a bubble bursting without a trace.
"In front of the predecessors of the foundation, I actually missed the distance, which is really a sin......"
Xin Dayuan was apprehensive, and a bone crawled up, stood up straight, and said with a little uneasiness.
"That's the man, that's right. ”
This man and woman are naturally Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi.
After Li Zhen sensed the existence of Xin Dayuan with the method of returning to heaven in a dream, he immediately rushed with Mu Qingsi, and sure enough, he successfully blocked him on this island.
When it fell, his divine sense searched all directions, and he saw that everything was difficult to see clearly under the shroud of spiritual light, but he had a faint intuition that told him that Wang Ji and Tong Li were not here.
If he was not mistaken, those two men should have gone out to sell the stolen goods.
With their business model, it is extremely risky to hoard a large number of goods in their hands, and the possibility of exposure is accumulating all the time, of course, it is better to exchange it for money as soon as possible.
Xin Dayuan did not master the various methods of makeover, and he was a crucial technical talent, so he would not go out easily when he was free, so he was the only one left here.
"Dare to ask where the two of you are sacred?" Hearing Li Zhen's words, Xin Dayuan couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.
"You have been copying my incense pills for the past few days, causing damage to my reputation and interests, where do you say I am sacred?" Li Zhen looked at him with a sneer.
"Huh?"
Xin Dayuan was completely dumbfounded.
is dying, and it turned out to be the main owner who came to the door!
Who leaked the news?
How did he find here?
In a state of confusion, Xin Dayuan's first reaction was to run away, but before he could take a few steps, a force that was beyond his power was suppressed and directly put him to the ground.
"Don't! Don't kill me!"
Xin Dayuan screamed in horror and howled like a pig.
Before being able to fly in the air, he had already shown the cultivation of the foundation building base, and now that he really did it, Xin Dayuan was even more sure that this was the foundation building monk who came to the door.
He never thought that he would fall into the hands of the predecessors of the foundation, and he was so frightened that he begged for mercy again and again.
"Don't kill me, seniors, I do this, it's also a hardship......"
"Oh, what's the problem?" said Li Zhen with a bit of amusement.
Xin Dayuan trembled and said: "The younger generation was born recklessly, and it is not easy to cultivate, and it is not easy to have adventures, but he only has a few alchemy and pharmaceutical skills, which is really too hard!"
As you know, these side techniques in the reckless rivers and lakes are not very useful, usually looking for secrets, fighting and killing can not win others, and there are few people who want to go together, and it is not easy to find such a way to make a living...... The younger generation is also forced by life!
You have a lot of adults, for the sake of the juniors' cultivation is not easy, spare the juniors this time, the juniors kowtow to you. ”
As if feeling that the power of the divine thoughts suppressing him was slightly loosened, Xin Dayuan turned around violently, bowed his head, and knocked his forehead red.
"I don't listen to clever words, if you want to survive, there is only one way to go!" Li Zhen looked at him and said indifferently.
Xin Dayuan said cautiously: "Please also ask the seniors to make it clear." ”
Li Zhen said: "I want to show you to the public, expose the behavior of making and selling counterfeits, so as to set the record straight, and then give me a part-time job to pay off my debts." ”
When Xin Dayuan heard this, he was like a mourner: "I can't help it, I can't help it, the seniors, the juniors also have some enemies in this river and lake, if this is really out, you can't be beaten to death?"
"Oh?" Li Zhen's eyes lit up, "It turns out that you are such a person, and you have become a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouts and beats?"
"Uh......" Xin Dayuan was speechless, feeling as if he had revealed something unbelievable.
Sure enough, Li Zhen laughed out loud and said loudly: "Then it is even more necessary to show the public, otherwise, how can I restore the name of my incense pill, and how can I recover my losses?"
Mu Qingsi listened to it and nodded secretly.
The husband is a person with great ambitions, and if he wants to create a path and create a great cause in the future, he can ignore other aspects for the time being, but the reputation of the incense road can be damaged?
This kind of hypocrisy is harming his path, and it must not be spared!
Li Zhen glanced at Mu Qingsi, she understood, her index finger was on her thumb, and with a flick, the Xuanyin sword was like a flying needle, piercing Xin Dayuan's knee.
Xin Dayuan screamed miserably and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Spare your life!"
After a while, I found that my right leg was only numb, and one foot was temporarily wasted, so I wiped a cold sweat with the happiness of the rest of my life.
But in the blink of an eye, a magic rope flew out and tied him up.
Li Zhen sat on the bench where he was lying in front of him, and said to the snail girl and slave who were trembling next to him: "You don't need to panic, continue to play." ”
"As for you......"
He glanced at Xin Dayuan, smiled and said, "There must be the contact information of Wang Ji and Tong Li, call them back." ”
"I even know their names!"
When Xin Dayuan heard this, his mood was as cold as being poured a basin of cold water on his head, so he had no luck and did it honestly.
As for what would happen after the two rushed back, Xin Dayuan didn't care.
Dead friends do not die and poor do not die, both ancient and modern.
......
Half a day later, Wang Ji and Tong Li had just rushed back when they were suddenly attacked.
Although Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi built a foundation, they still used all their strength against the two Qi refining cultivators.
They hid on the way back to the island for the two of them, using the water elements in the sea water and the vast background of the sky and earth to hide their figures and qi.
With the help of the Dragon Soul Fruit, they were able to easily control a cloud of water and hide behind the reef near the docks.
The two of them had just jumped off the boat when they saw a sword striking at them.
And faster than it was the droplet-shaped sword pill in Mu Qingsi's hand.
One pill and one blade, successively running through the bodies of the two people.
Wang Ji's shoulder blades were shattered on the spot, half of his body was pierced, and he fell to the ground like a rag bag on the spot.
Tong Li was also torn by the sword, and he lay on the ground with his stomach covered with a wail, his face full of horror.
Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi appeared at this time, and ordered the servants caught in the mansion to carry them onto the boat, and went in the direction of Qingchuan Fang together with Xin Dayuan, who had been tied up before.
"Xin Dayuan, you dog thief, you dare to sinister us!"
"Tong Daoyou, don't blame, I'm also forced to be helpless......"
"Lao Tzu is going to be killed by you!"
Along the way, the three of them sprayed each other frantically in the cabin, but they still couldn't avoid the boat docking and rushed to the place where they were most often abducted and cheated, and there were many sufferers.
The manager of the Chamber of Commerce in Qingchuan Fang and the people of Qizhen Building had already received the news and rushed to the dock to greet them, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw Li Zhen and Mu Qingsi.
Li Zhen didn't care about greeting them, so he ordered: "Everyone has brought it, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to you, just pay a little attention, don't die so easily." ”
The steward of the Chamber of Commerce said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, I will know." ”
The three listened to their conversation, and there was nothing to love.
......
"Come and see, come and see, the culprit of counterfeiting and selling counterfeits has been caught, it is these three people who disrupted the market, abducted and deceived, and hacked the hard-earned money of all Taoist friends!
Today, there are seniors who have taken action and caught them, and some stolen money and fakes have been found in the thieves' den, and those who have been deceived before can come here to receive compensation in kind, everyone come quickly, and they will not wait for ...... when they are outdated."
Along the way, gongs and drums were beaten, and it was lively.
According to what Li Zhen said, the people of the Chamber of Commerce put the three of them on the evil wooden shackles, dragged them to parade through the streets, and then set up a special show in front of the gate of the Treasure Building, showing the fake and shoddy incense pills in public.
"There is such a good thing? I was worried that I accidentally bought two fake pills, so hurry up and return them!"
"I also bought a pill, let's go together!"
The scattered cultivators who got the news were overjoyed and hurriedly went over to handle it.
Although strictly speaking, those people bought the goods through informal channels, in order to calm the incident, Li Zhen still chose to compensate as much as possible.
Anyway, it wasn't him who was really bleeding, but Xin Dayuan and others who were caught.
There was also a group of people gathered in front of Xin Dayuan and the others who were tied to the carriage, staring at them with disgust and disdain.
This is also due to the troubles of those bitter masters before, and it is just for money.
The relationship between the monks is not necessarily old relatives and friends, and many of them are temporary partners, and there is no real affection.
If there really are some relatives and friends who have been murdered, maybe someone in the crowd will take advantage of the opportunity to kill them.
Rao is like this, some of the dark fist old legs still didn't eat less, and all the way down, they were beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
Dog liars!
After some tossing, Xin Dayuan and the three of them were dying, and they almost didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.
Not only did they lose all the gains they had made this time, but they also lost a lot of money.
But the rule in the world of cultivating immortals is that there is no law, everything is based on karma and the will of the predecessors.
They could only rejoice that they had spared their lives and did not die on the spot.
But their ordeal was not over, and soon three more flagpoles were erected in the open space in front of the Treasure Building, and on the bamboo poles several feet high, each of them hung high as a warning.
This is to deter those who come after them, and if they dare to do this kind of thing with the skills at hand, they will be retaliated.
As expected, Wang Ji, who was seriously injured, was not treated in time, and he couldn't survive on the third day and died quietly, and his body was still hanging there.
Xin Dayuan and Tong Li were put down, fed some water, some wound medicine, and brought to the lobby of a mansion in the fangzhong.
Li Zhen sat on the top and said, "Do you know why the two of you are still alive?"
Xin Dayuan and Tong Li had empty eyes and shook their heads as if they had lost their souls.
"Because one of you has craftsmanship and the other has a power background, it can be considered a little useful after all.
The one with your accomplice, we investigated, didn't have any background identity, so he died. ”
It's really fucking real......
Both of them were shocked in their hearts, and then they lowered their heads thoughtfully, giving birth to deep fear.
They can deceive others, and they are naturally not stupid people, and they can hear the meaning of Li Zhen's words.
At first glance, this seems to be sparing their lives, but in fact it is also saying that if they have the skills and power background to use them, then wait for death.
It is definitely not difficult for the Zhuji monks to kill them, and they don't have to worry about the revenge of the mortal kingdom.
"We are willing to serve our seniors, and I ask our seniors to be merciful and spare us......"
The two of them were finally convinced, and fell to the ground sincerely, not daring to have any more hatred and complaints.
In the void that the two of them did not know, the fragrance of emotions representing worry and fear emanated, and finally there was no longer the resentment when they were first caught.
Li Zhen smelled these smells and nodded with a little satisfaction.
People are really fickle, so they are obedient, and I thought that they would have to toss a few more days.
It seems that killing that reckless casual cultivator with no background really plays a role in killing chickens and monkeys.
This matter has already started out, and one or two liars must be killed to give an explanation to the bitter master, but there is no need to kill them all in one go, and they will kill for no reason.
His choice was to hand over that person, block the mouths of the people, and then the two of them secretly subdued it for their own use.
Especially this Xin Dayuan......
Not long after, Xin Dayuan, who had regained a few mouthfuls of vitality, came to the back hall with new clothes, pills, and a few breaths of vitality.
There was already a boiler found in the manor, and the materials were there, and a few of his accustomed servants were boiling the potion and preparing for the process of making counterfeit incense pills.
Li Zhen instructed: "Show me your fake methods, if you do well, you will live, and if you don't do well, you will die." ”
