Chapter 109: Unremarkable
An eight-grade pheasant demon, Zhou Ang finally offered eight hundred taels of silver.
This price is definitely not high, and of course, it is certainly not the lowest price.
At least, in the current August, as long as Zhou Ang is willing to hand over the demon corpse of this pheasant demon to Guo Yuan to sell, the income will definitely far exceed this price.
Guo Li didn't have the slightest intention of bargaining, so he agreed to it.
After deducting the part he had advanced when he bought the coral sword on his behalf, he deducted the scabbard money that had been quoted at fifteen taels of silver, and he immediately went back to get the rest and paid it in full.
In fact, both sides understand that it doesn't matter how much this deal is worth, whether it is lost or earned, and who loses and who earns, the important thing is that through this pheasant demon, Zhou Ang proved that he does have the strength and channels to take out the demon corpse, and fulfilled the previous agreement between the two.
So far, the two have become a small and unreliable community of interests.
And just when Zhou Ang put away the silver, hung up the coral sword, and made an appointment with Guo Li to meet at this blacksmith shop on September 1 and go to the underground trade fair together, in Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen, Liu Wei also received a report about Zhou Ang, the clerk of Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen.
But when he heard the report of his two cronies and subordinates, Liu Wei frowned.
"Is this serious?" he asked.
A subordinate immediately said: "I don't believe it either, but I asked again and again, and the person who asked him insisted that it should be a clerk of Zhou Ang Zhou in Yazhong." ”
Liu Wei frowned, got up, wandered two steps, still shook his head, and said: "If it is said that Gao Jing has some hidden strength, or has some magic weapons that are not known to us, so he has the opportunity to hunt the bear demon and the pig demon, it is barely reasonable, but this Zhou Ang is ......."
Speaking of this, his mind moved, and he suddenly stopped, and after a while, he said again: "So...... Yes! yes! haha......"
He shook his head, sneered, and said, "It turns out that their county already has another channel! Only in this way can we explain why their small county government can actually make gains every month! Moreover, ...... If I'm not mistaken, last month, they also bet on the end of the month and handed over a bear demon!
When a subordinate heard this, he immediately said: "After inquiring about the priest's decision, he was also puzzled. Although Zhou Ang was a helper introduced by Gao Xianzhu, he was an ordinary underground cultivator with no roots and no roots, even if he had some Taoism, how could he kill the eight-rank bear demon, let alone the seven-rank monster?"
However, the person entrusted by the humble post said that the two times before and after were the clerks of Zhou Angzhou, who brought people to make a car here, and then the county Zhu Yamen suddenly had a harvest without any action before. Based on this, there is also a faint guess that Zhou Ang should be a special informant in Zhu Yamen in Lingzhou County!"
"Even, the humble position originally didn't expect that he would wake up by Si She's words, but just now it suddenly occurred to him that maybe Gao County Zhu recruited that Zhou Ang into the county Zhu Yamen, precisely because he already knew that behind that Zhou Ang, there was such a clue that he could buy demon corpses?...... Uh, lowly speculation......"
"No!" Liu Wei immediately raised his hand, interrupted his words, his eyes flashed, and said slowly: "I think that you may not be just speculating......! Guessed right!"
Saying this, Liu Wei couldn't help but recall the situation last month, when Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen came to report and captured an eight-grade bear demon - it has been a month since then, and even he doesn't remember much about the details, but many basic things can't be forgotten.
I still remember that at that time, whether it was myself or Shen Junzhu, although I was also surprised by the capture of Lingzhou County Zhu, and at the same time, I was also surprised that there was a bear demon in the local area, but I didn't take it too seriously at that time, and because the counties were not very harmonious, there was no in-depth communication.
Looking back now, I seem to have had a little doubt at that time, so I also sent someone to inquire a little, and the news I received later seemed to be a group of people from Zhu Yamen in Lingzhou County, and there was no big move recently, so the informant didn't know where this gain came from.
Now I want to come...... Yes, they bought it twice!
And the person responsible for connecting the Yamen and the seller in Lingzhou County is actually the inconspicuous Zhou Ang!
Thinking about it now, Liu Wei couldn't remember what the young man named Zhou Ang looked like for a while - the county and county yamen were in the same city, and they almost didn't look up and look down, although the relationship was not harmonious, but the manpower in the county was still very familiar to Liu Wei.
After thinking about it, he felt that it should be because Zhou Ang's time to join the official cultivator team was too short, and he usually didn't have a sense of existence, so he didn't have a good impression of him.
He must be an ordinary young man!
Thinking of this, he said to the two subordinates: "I will find time to report this matter to Jun Zhu, and next, the two of you will take a certain amount of time to try to collect more news and trends about Zhou Ang, his family history, in-laws, old times, etc., the more detailed the better!"
"No!"
His subordinate immediately agreed, turned and left.
Here Liu Weisi was momentarily moved, and when he left the official room and turned to the back hall, although his steps were fast, he was about to enter the courtyard where the back hall was, but he suddenly hesitated.
Just now, he naturally wanted to report to the county Zhu Shen Ming, and to control the Lingzhou County Zhu Yamen Gao Jing and others, since there was a lack of actual evidence, but as long as the county Zhu Shen Ming could transfer that Zhou Ang to the county Zhu Yamen with a piece of paper, what did he want to ask, didn't he have the final say?
When the time comes, the details will be clarified, whether it is to win over his people, and then the county Zhu Yamen will directly take over this line, or to follow the vine and arrest a group of underground cultivators, it is best to sweep Gao Jing and the others into it, there is no doubt that it is a matter of courtesy.
At least I can let out a bad breath!
But at this time, along the way, his mind turned a thousand times, but he couldn't help but think: "I think that Zhou Ang was just an underground cultivator, and after being slightly co-opted by Gao Jing, he only joined the county Zhu Yamen as a clerk, and worked so hard for it, so that Gao Jing was 'on the top' for several months in a row! If I went to win it over and gathered it under my subordinates, wouldn't I have mastered such a good channel in the future?"
"But if I sue it to the county to Zhu, it will be tantamount to completely stabbing the whole thing, so what good can I do except be able to vent my evil anger for a while?"
At this time, in the back hall, Shen Ming's voice suddenly came, "It's Dingxin, right?
Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and the center of his mind was spinning, but he said: "I am afraid of the prestige of the county and the virtue of the county and the virtue of the county wish, so if you are close, you will be late!"
In the back hall, Shen Ming laughed.
Let's get the update back first, don't be too little!
