Chapter 451: Wasted Fame
"This is the previous arrears. Piling up sixty third-order pieces in front of Chu Yiming, Jiang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he didn't want to repeat the mistake of Xiao Mingzhen, for some reason he lost a friend, and if he didn't repay the debt, this "excellent" quality should not be insisted on for too long.
"Developed?"
"It's a quick buck. Jiang Feng saw the slightly thin figure of the gold lord Mu Qingchuan in front of him, thinking about the remaining three hundred and ninety third-order in his hand, he should still be able to bear a certain amount of risk, and added casually, "But there is no interest to pay you." ”
"Joke-a-side, I really need a spirit stone turnover recently. Chu Yiming didn't have a polite conversation with Jiang Feng, and accepted the spirit stone easily, "That business has not been opened since it was stopped last time, so in the absence of additional income, the expenses in the mansion are relatively too much. ”
"I heard that you went to see Shangguan Bashuang. This news was deliberately confided to himself by Chu Yiming.
"That's right, with the relationship of in-laws, I have already made it clear to him. Chu Yiming stood up and paced a few steps in the study room where there were only two people, "It's going well, the situation has become clear, I am responsible for providing the spiritual land, and he is responsible for building the teleportation array." But who is in the other links is not for me and him to know. Of course, it is not that there are no breakthroughs, for example, in the matter of Shangguan Xiuqi marrying me, Bai Shiduo, the middleman in the middle, is the object of suspicion. ”
"Bai Shiduo?"
"Yes, it's your father-in-law. Chu Yiming smiled evilly, he naturally knew that Jiang Feng was carrying the black cauldron.
Hey! Jiang Feng sighed, and the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
"Sometimes it's not a good thing to know too much. Jiang Feng, who has too many secrets in his heart, feels that if he explores this matter further, I am afraid that it will be too dangerous, Bai Shiduo's status in the Lizong Sect is not low in the past or now, if he is really related to this matter, then dig deeper, whether it is Chu Yiming or Shangguan Bashuang, he will not be able to withstand the blow from the other party.
"I think it's more important right now to strengthen the role of both of you in this, not to be treated as outcasts, and to take a bigger share if possible. For example, at least from Shangguan Bashuang's point of view, he can emphasize the necessity of spiritual land, making your ring indispensable. As for you, you need to choose the opportunity to emphasize the use of spiritual land, and professional people can ensure safety, and this reminds them in disguise that Shangguan Bashuang is irreplaceable. ”
"I get that. Therefore, I agreed with Shangguan Bashuang that I only need to find out who will handle the transfer link, he has tried, but he has not found anything, and the other party is also very careful. On the other hand, I suspect that the reason why Bai Shiduo asked me to marry the Shangguan family was also to consider the need to bind us and avoid mistakes, and he may also need a sense of security. ”
Security...... Jiang Feng chewed these words repeatedly, realizing that above Bai Shiduo, there might be a higher level, and he didn't know about it, so he needed to make this decision and bind all the links he knew in one place to seek security guarantees. He suddenly remembered Yin Du, the person behind this fang, he couldn't see it clearly, and he should be the person in charge of the sale of prohibited magic weapons, maybe he was used as a breakthrough, and he could also get a glimpse of the maze, but it might also immediately cause danger, this move also needs to be considered in the long run, it is said that since he returned from Zen Heart City, Yin Du has not appeared, thinking that when he handed over the full version of the rune treasure "Breeze Without Shadow" to himself, he once agreed to fulfill his promise, but now there is no trace.
If something is abnormal, there must be a demon. Maybe this is not the time to take the initiative.
Jiang Feng couldn't give suitable advice on Chu Yiming's risky move, so he mentioned to him the case of Fang Jinlu's involvement and detention, Chu Yiming didn't hesitate at all, let Jiang Feng rest in the mansion, hurriedly went out, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. The Chu family and the city lord Ding Ruoqian still have some friendship, and Ding Ruoqian is the person who reported the matter of the Fang family, so he must know how to resolve the matter.
When the sun turned west, Chu Yiming brought back the conditions for a private settlement.
"All of the Fang family's properties in Zhenwu City need to be sold to the Li family at one percent of the market price. Moreover, the Fang family must leave Zhenwu City and never do any business here. ”
Presumably, this Li family is the person who operates this matter behind the scenes, Jiang Feng has already said frankly in advance that he only needs to save Fang Jinlu's life, so as soon as Chu Yiming got this peace condition, he sent someone to Dongji City to ask the head of the Fang family, once he promised this matter, Fang Jinlu would regain his freedom.
If you want to come to the world as black as a crow, this Fang family has experienced this kind of change, and it is estimated that the family is also in the middle of the road, and it is slumped, but fortunately, the other party does not mean to kill them all, just withdraw from Zhenwu City. It's just that the credibility and network that have been operating here for many years have to start all over again.
Jiang Feng knew that it would take some time for this matter to come to an end, so he spent the night in Chu Mansion, and returned to the Dao Hall in the early morning of the next day, Ying Ge and the three apprentices had been shopping in Zhenwu City for a day the day before yesterday, and were resting in the Dao Hall, Jiang Feng called Ying Ge alone and asked him to go to the Spirit Cage Chamber of Commerce with him. The experience of being detained by Qiu Nanjia last time made Jiang Feng feel that it was better to bring a monk with him, with the strength of Yingge's ground-level double, although it was not enough to make the other party jealous, but if he really wanted to make a move, with a fellow rank by his side, it should be enough to make some big moves to attract the attention of the monks of the Li Sect.
"You said you might have to do it?" Yingge's eyes were full of excitement.
"But you can't do it first. ”
Jiang Feng suddenly felt that it might be a mistake to bring him, in the "Thousand Illusions", he waited for the Liubo Emperor for a thousand years, and once he got out of trouble, this Ying Song was like a wild donkey, and he was full of anger when he moved his hands, he really should find a meditation scripture for him to read, I heard it yesterday, if it wasn't for Jiang Yunqi pulling Ying Ge, he would have gone straight to the fighting arena of Zhenwu City early in the morning, if something happened here, it would really be difficult to clean up.
Do you think that I am really Xu Funing's true disciple, and I am not afraid of causing trouble at all? Jiang Feng had bitterness in his heart but couldn't say it, so he could only say some crooked reasoning and heresy that "it's not that the fist is the last word", temporarily appeased Yingge, and even changed his angle and warned him that he was just a shrimp in this Li Sect, so don't be arrogant.
It would be nice if I could find a way to trick this black boy into the sect, so that I could use the rules and regulations of the sect to restrain him, but this uncontrollable appearance of his anger may not be a good thing to lead him into the sect. Jiang Feng sighed lightly in his heart, gave up the idea that this might provoke right and wrong, happened to pass by the shop "Black Donkey Zhang", glanced inward, released his divine sense, and found that there were only a few small servants, so he abandoned the idea of going in to explore, and went straight to the "Harmony Residence".
............
Lizong, Juque City. Everything is still rough.
It took forty-five monks and ten days to dig all the way from the seashore to this inland valley, and it took forty-five monks to open up a canal nearly a mile wide, and at the end of the canal, apart from a stream of not abundant water, there was only one small town with few people.
In fact, the speed of construction could have been faster, for example, Uncle Feng and Uncle Qing joined forces to promote the smooth flow of this waterway in one day. But in fact, if the two of them cast a spell, it would be difficult to ensure that the leylines here would not be destroyed, which would cause the coast to often collapse and affect shipping. Now, the construction monks have left the scene, and nearly 3,000 ordinary people are on both sides of the waterway, doing all kinds of cleaning and reinforcement work, and in two months, this place will become the only channel for the materials of the cities in the southwest of Lizong to go to sea and be transferred.
The reason for this is all due to the results of the previous war, as well as the determination of Uncle Feng and Uncle Qing to reform. The integration of Juque City and Port is convenient for reducing the dependence on the existing trade routes of the three sects in the southwest, after all, all the garrisons in the three sects before have retreated to the sect because of the intervention of Fan Guo and Chilongmen in the previous night, and the control of Li Zong in this period has been greatly weakened.
In addition, the centralized transfer of materials is conducive to the overall planning of commercial taxes, and then boosts the income of the sect, although the affairs of the sect are not subject to this, but it is always good to have a little more, after all, the expenditure is growing rapidly, for example, the investment of the Long Xiang Army is a full fifty percent more than the total investment of the Chiluan Army and the Flying Bear Army before.
Yu Xiaoman can't realize this.
As a "businessman" stationed here by the Yu family, her task is to prioritize the selection of a good location among the twenty-five shop plots, which is the privilege granted by the five major families, and the remaining twenty shops will be leased to the major chambers of commerce in the sect, including the chambers of commerce that are interested in the outer sects, of course, even if there are enough spirit stones, they still need to be approved by the Li Sect.
After some consideration, Yu Xiaoman chose a shop farthest away from the waterway, although it was the farthest away from the dock, but the store occupied the largest area, and according to her observation, the store would not be affected by the moisture of the waterway. The elixir and talisman business is particularly important, as for the magic weapon, although it is not affected, it has not been the strength of the Yu family's business, although there are many means to avoid this adverse effect, but it will increase the daily expenses, especially in the early days of the opening of the port, under the competition of twenty-five stores, the profit will be greatly compressed, and it is very necessary to reduce costs, otherwise, once the shop has a large deficit, it is difficult for her to explain to the family.
In the face of excellent results, casual words are the last word, but in the face of shortfall, all explanations are futile.
In addition, the larger area also allows her to place more family children to make a living here, which is more effective for highlighting the influence of her own lineage.
The operation of the shop is actually not what she likes, but she feels that it is necessary to pave the way for her younger brother Yu Xiaozheng, and also to realize the ideal in her heart one day. For example, Seventh Uncle Yu Chengke has personally promised that once she makes achievements and achieves a profit of sixty third-order in the middle of next year, she can use the power of her family to help her explore the "Begonia Sanren Mansion", and has the right to choose two loot first.
Exploring the "Begonia Sanren Mansion" has always been what Yu Xiaoman is looking forward to, although it was almost a trip, but somehow it was suddenly stopped by the elders of the clan, and now, it was mentioned again, and more favorable conditions were promised, which is nothing more than a thing worth looking forward to for Yu Xiaoman.
Originally, he was still hoping for Jiang Feng's little boss to help, but Yu Xiaoman looked at the store that had already built the foundation, and couldn't help but wander out of the world, thinking of all kinds of old things before. I heard that he had become Xu Funing's personal disciple and climbed to the high branches. Recently, regardless of the name of "scumbag", he recognized Bai Shiduo as his father-in-law, and the degree of forbearance is far beyond his imagination.
I was noncommittal in my heart, and suddenly my inspiration was suddenly touched, but I saw a white-robed figure looming next to the stone pile not far away, hiding in the meantime, it was not Yu Xiaozheng, who else could it be?
Xiao Zheng is also too unreliable, after he said that he would make a marriage, he would cultivate in the sect and strive for the next step in the avenue? A cloud of anger rose in his chest, and he went straight to the other party and grabbed Yu Xiaozheng's ear.
"Xiaozheng, why are you running around again? Who let you come to Juque City?"
"Myself. Yu Xiaozheng looked aggrieved, "Sister, you have to be the master for me." He rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing bloodstained scars, "Look, look, I didn't think that the girl of the Wei Chi family had a habit of abuse, and I want to withdraw from the marriage!"
You picked it yourself, you deserve it!
Yu Man subconsciously responded and said in his heart, who let you choose only what has big breasts without careful investigation, and have the face to persuade me to cherish the opportunity in front of me. Having said that, I said how the Wei Chi family posted a lot of dowries, it turned out that the mystery was here. But now if you want to get out of the marriage, it is extremely difficult, although the Yu family is powerful, but the Wei Chi family is responsible for the royal beasts in the sect, and they have also made a lot of achievements recently, and it is really a matter of rolling up the other party...... However, Yu Xiaoman suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked:
"Haven't you been married yet?"
"I ......," Yu Xiaozheng was speechless, "I'm a little anxious." ”
"Phew!
Yu Xiaoman ignored him, and Xindao, the younger brother who was not angry, was also drunk, so he put his heart aside from him, walked seven or eight steps but turned back, and her heart softened again, but she didn't have any ideas, "Why don't you go to Jiang Feng, he should be able to help you come up with an idea, and the name of a scumbag should not be in vain." ”
............
Lizong, Zhenwu City.
Jiang Feng and Yingge entered the "Heqiju" herb shop from the back door together, Jiang Feng, who originally expected Liao Shencang to be alone, did not wait for this result, but saw Qiu Nanjia first.
"Don't come unharmed. ”
"Master Jiang has been in the limelight recently, and I admire him. Qiu Nanjia smiled, Jiang Feng could see that it was not a flattering smile, although it was not contempt, but there was always something special.
"It's all just a name. Jiang Feng didn't know what she was talking about, and as far as he knew, what might cause the effect was nothing more than participating in Zhu Qianmu's battle, or carrying the Ancient Treasure Eternal Tower, or being accepted as a disciple by Xu Funing.
"Master Jiang is modest, and the relationship between in-laws is, in my opinion, the most effective and lasting bond. Although the daughter of the Bai family has been martyred because of you, the relationship between Weng and his son-in-law is well known, and there are some wonderful things to think about. ”
So that's what you're talking about...... Jiang Feng's face was embarrassed, and what finally passed down his heart was Bai Ruoxi's martyrdom because of me, so in this way, wouldn't I be a real "scumbag"? ”
"No, this is the best chance for you and me to clear up our previous misunderstanding. ”
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times, and after a few breaths, I saw the golden light flowing in the other party's eyes, and I couldn't help but feel a sharp increase in pressure, but I saw the aura on the side of Yingge's body burst out, and the whole reception room immediately changed.
"Stop!"
When everything was about to become real, Qiu Nanjia shouted abruptly, but saw that the surrounding scenery quickly dissipated, and then looked at Yingge, cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and the golden glow under Qiu Nanjia's eyes also quickly dissipated and returned to its original appearance.
"Your subordinate is also a strange man. ”
Qiu Nanjia had only briefly asked about Yingge's name before, in her opinion, most of what Jiang Feng brought were her subordinates, but she had never heard of someone from the Asakisha Sect who had been newly promoted to the prefecture level, and she thought that Jiang Feng was recruiting helpers.
"You should know I have no ill intentions. ”
Thinking that Qiu Nanjia had misunderstood her gaze, Jiang Feng immediately thought that she might have done it on purpose to test the strength of her subordinates.
"Your reputation and past are a source of deep concern to me. Qiu Nanjia's face was slightly tired, and she gently pulled on her purple skirt and sat down again, this time covering the beauty of her body, "But this does not affect our continued cooperation." ”
