Chapter 275: Out of the Map (Ask for Subscription)
After some bargaining, Chu He was finally satisfied, and the Dragon Queen remembered the huge price she was about to pay, even if she was rich, she still couldn't help but feel pain. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Since you have already received the benefits of this queen, let's set off today!" said the dragon with a dark complexion, very unpleasantly.
Seriously, if it weren't for Chu He's hard backstage, she originally wanted to force Chu He to agree, and she wouldn't have to compensate for some secular gold and silver afterwards.
Now that he has unexpectedly paid a huge price, he is really unhappy.
On the contrary, Chu He was more sure of his judgment. This dragon queen worked hard, and even was willing to spend such a big price to send the jade Daoist to Beihai, which shows that the plot is extremely crucial.
It's just that why, Chu River still needs to be explored, and the jade Daoist himself is certainly a very suitable entry point. Chu He, who has already attacked once, although there is no temperament bonus this time, it is expected that he will be able to capture it with a little means.
But looking at the jade Taoist facing the dragon queen with a grateful face at this moment, even if he is an outsider here, he seems to be extremely 'emotional', and when Chu He leaves, he still doesn't know how to thank him, Chu He is a little skeptical, whether she knows the truth. was used by the dragon queen without knowing it.
"Anyway, when you're on the road, let's test it!" Chu He thought to himself. And you can use the dragon girl Bai Xi to keep abreast of the movements of the Dragon Palace, and maybe you can get some information.
With the Dragon Queen's order, Chu He and the other four could naturally leave the Dragon Palace.
Under the arrangement of the dragon queen, a giant turtle was responsible for sending them to Xiangyang first, and when they reached the shore, Chu He began to set up a caravan to buy the materials needed by the Mongols.
After all, in the name of a merchant, empty-handed, what will it look like?
And when everything is in order and the caravan is about to depart, the Jade Daoist will naturally rush to the meeting and join the caravan.
The speed of the giant tortoise was not slow, it went against the water, and the scenery on both sides of the strait passed quickly, but it sent the four people to the ferry outside Xiangyang City in half a day.
After going ashore, the four rushed home.
When Chu He returned to Jiafu, what he saw was an empty and dilapidated Jiafu. Jia Laoliu's wife died early, and he had no children under his knees, and several concubines thought he was dead, so they discussed dividing up the family property and left Jiafu with money. There is a mansion in the spare space, which enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the Jia family and Jia Lao Liu. didn't sell the ancestral house, barely have some conscience.
Now the empty ancestral house of the Jia family, only one old servant who has lived in the Jia family for fifty years and has taken care of two generations of the Jia family is still guarding it.
When he saw 'Jia Lao Liu' returning, the old servant was so excited that he kicked his legs and went like this.
"Okay, I'm going to be clean, and I'm just right to let go of my hands and feet, so as not to pretend to be Jia Lao Liu all the time, and act in a way that is too troublesome to get closer to him. Chu He circled around the empty courtyard twice, and then overturned the large vat of lotus flowers in the corner of the small garden, which was two meters high and five meters wide. If you violently smash the cylinder, the mechanism at the bottom of the cylinder will activate, sealing the secret chamber below.
After Chu He moved the vat, an iron door was revealed under the vat.
Just this pull ring, but pushed down the iron door, the secret room was exposed to the sun, and a stale air poured up from the secret room, obviously no one had entered it for a long time.
In the secret room, in addition to some fragments of gold, silver and jade, the most eye-catching thing is a large solid silver ball with a diameter of about five or six meters.
This silver ball is much larger than the entrance to the secret room, and if you want to move it, you have to dismantle the secret room first.
Of course, Chu He didn't have to be so troublesome, he directly put it into the bag of the snake, and swept away all the treasures in the secret room.
If you want to form a large enough caravan, capital is indispensable, and the Jia family has accumulated wealth for several generations, but it has saved Chu He a lot of trouble.
Next, Chu He recalled Yang Chenkong first, and when he arrived at Yang Chenkong's house, he happened to see his little daughter-in-law.
It's not very old, and it's petite and cute, like a porcelain doll of seven or eight years old. Sitting in Lao Yang's arms, like his daughter, I don't know how this guy can do it.
persuaded Yang Chenkong to continue to work for him, and Chu He then went to find Ah Qiang.
Ah Qiang is a servant bought by Jia Lao Liu, but he is also a local, and it is only because of the poverty of his family that his parents sold a few children who could not support him and became a domestic servant of a rich family.
Although Ah Qiang's mind is not pure, he is a typical white-eyed wolf, and when he was in the Dragon Palace, he secretly bought a lot of pearls, antiques and other treasures, and after returning to Xiangyang, he went home first without saying a word.
When Chu He went to look for him, he was moving with his parents and brothers in a hurry, obviously trying to escape. If it weren't for his poor brothers, he would be reluctant to lose it, and he would have to ask for it, and he would have dragged it back, but he was afraid that Ah Qiang had already run away with his family, and Chu He would have to work hard to find it again.
Originally, Ah Qiang had a deed of sale in Jiafu, and the government also kept it on the record, if he escaped, he would be a fugitive slave and would be hunted down.
But after Chu He's torture, this kid had to honestly confess that when he was in the Dragon Palace, he had a relationship with a fox demon and learned the art of skinning and disappearance.
After escaping with his parents and brothers, he changed his appearance, sold pearl antiques, and then purchased dozens of acres of fertile land.
When Yang Chenkong heard this, he kicked Ah Qiang's ass with his foot, and said while kicking: "You kid is cunning! Master Jia is not thin on you, now that Jiafu is in trouble, you kid has rolled up some money, and you want to leave, it's like a wolf's heart." If it weren't for the fact that you still have a little filial piety and know that you ran with your old parents, Lao Tzu would have killed you now. ā
"Dig out your heart and liver and see if it's black!"
Yang Chenkong's words were murderous, and Ah Qiang's heart trembled with fright.
His mouth trembled, and he couldn't say a word clearly, but he knew that he was begging for mercy when he listened to it.
"Okay! No need to act! For the sake of Yang Guard's face, I will spare you, and the treasures you brought back will not be given to me, just leave them to your parents and brothers. I am short of people to do things now, if you can do it well, this matter is over, and I will go to the government for you to eliminate the slavery. If you dare to be half-hearted, then I will just beat you to death. Chu He could naturally hear that Yang Chenkong was questioning and scolding Ah Qiang on the surface, but in fact he was pleading.
Yang Chenkong's face is not easy to use here in Chu River.
But Ah Qiang still has some ability, which is worth using.
In other words, the four people who can enter the Dragon Palace are not only blessed and extended, but also have their own advantages and specialties.
Chu He has a task to do, how can he be willing to give up these helpers?
Therefore, not only Yang Chenkong and Ah Qiang, but even Zhang Ziming and Chu He had to find a way to tie him to the chariot.
Yang Chenkong was originally Chu He's guard, although he did not sell himself, but the two have been friends for a long time, Chu He promised heavy profits, and Yang Chenkong's consistent behavior was uninhibited, so after a little hesitation, he should go down to Chu He's errand.
Ah Qiang was originally a servant bought by Chu He, and he did not have the right to choose freely, of course, Chu He said whatever he wanted.
With two manpower, Chu He asked Yang Chenkong to be in charge of contacting the dart bureau, trying to pick a bigger and more reputable dart game, and the price was not a problem.
And Ah Qiang is responsible for contacting the guys who worked under the Jia family in the past, and Jia Lao Liu's concubines took out the fields, real estate, and shops, and exchanged them for silver and ran away.
Those guys who originally worked in Jia's house naturally dispersed, each looking for their own way out.
It is estimated that it is not good to mix, Ah Qiang's talent and specialty is that he can communicate and come to things, and there must be a way to contact those people.
