Everyone knows that the border is dangerous. No one is willing to go to the border to fight with the barbarians even if they spend all their wealth.
Chen Yuan chuckled lightly:
"May I have your name?"
"Villain...Liu Yishou." The man said quickly.
"Who are you messing with?"
There are many gangs in Ping An County. Let alone pickpockets, even beggars are basically organized. If there is no one to protect them, they will not be able to survive at all.
"Song Laoliu from the south of the city..." Liu Yishou didn't dare to hide it.
He even hoped that the poor man would let him go for Song Laoliu's sake.
Stealing is not a serious crime, but you will inevitably suffer some hardships. If your name is scratched and you are sent to the border, it will be really bad luck.
"Song Laoliu...the one who runs the casino?"
"Yes... yes, that's him. Song Laoliu started out as a thief before, but later when the casino business started, he didn't give up this business."
"Most of the people in Pingan County who are involved in this business have something to do with him."
Chen Yuan's eyes moved slightly and the strength in his hands relaxed a little, "What is the relationship between Song Laoliu and the people in the yamen?"
"This... I don't know."
"How much money are you prepared to give in exchange for your life?"
"Little man... I only have one tael of silver in my body... I am willing to dedicate it all to Mr. Cha." Liu Yishou hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver from his cuff, his face a little painful.
One tael of silver was worth a thousand dollars, equivalent to a thousand copper plates, but he paid for one tael of silver for a mere hundred and ten copper plates.
Big loss!
Chen Yuan accepted the broken silver. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. What's more, one tael of silver was no longer considered a decimal. His monthly salary plus some extra money did not exceed two taels.
Strictly speaking, this is also a type of extra money.
"Okay, get lost..." Chen Yuan waved his hand.
"Thank you for your kindness..." Liu Yishou quickly handed over his hand, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
...
The sky was getting dark, and most of the bustling people in the county began to go home, but Chen Yuan had just finished swinging his sword for a hundred times.
Every day, he swings the knife at least two hundred times. This is what Chen Yuan has decided since he discovered the golden finger.
It has been maintained for several days now, and the arms have gone from being sore and weak at the beginning to the current habit. Of course, this also involves Chen Yuan's progress in skin refining.
Putting on ordinary clothes and scattering a few strands of hair, Chen Yuan stepped out of the courtyard with an expressionless expression.
Ever since he decided to embark on the path of being a villain, Chen Yuan had already had the consciousness to kill. When he thought back on the last time he killed Iron Hand with a single blow at close range, Chen Yuan not only didn't feel sick, but felt a sense of relief!
In a small building somewhere.
Hall Master Wang handed a locked small wooden box to Wang Er with a solemn expression and warned:
"This trip is related to whether I can sit in the seat of the Hall Master. I must be careful." Then Hall Master Wang paused and continued:
"When I take the seat of the hall master, I can ask you for a physical training method, and I will also promote you well."
Wang Er is his confidant, and the leader of the gang has called them every night for the past two days to discuss matters, and they cannot leave. Otherwise, such important matters will never be left to others.
"Don't worry, Hall Master, the Huang family's subordinates can find it. Besides, Butler Huang will also send someone to deal with it. I will definitely take care of this matter for Hall Master."
"Don't forget what I told you."
"Don't worry, Master," Wang Er said with his chest raised in a confident voice.
In order to make Wang Er pay attention, Hall Master Wang whispered:
"If I can become the leader of the hall, I will be qualified to meet Huang Captou. By then, it will not be impossible for me to overpower the boy named Chen."
Wang Er's face was filled with excitement. He had been coveting the girl's skin from Zhou Ji Baozi Shop for a long time.
Chen Yuan put on a black scarf and hid on a roof not far from the back door of Huang's house, watching closely to see if anyone was walking below.
Giving gifts and taking bribes is unlikely to go through the door. After all, the target of Hall Master Wang's gift is the Huang family's housekeeper, and the Huang family must not let the people know.
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed with green light, observing whether there was anything strange nearby.
After waiting for a long time, it started to rain continuously in the sky again. This weather condition had lasted for several days. The clouds half covered the moon, and the night became darker.
Just when Chen Yuan was impatient to wait, a faint sound of footsteps came into his ears. Chen Yuan took a closer look and saw a thin figure walking forward in the alley in the distance, looking left and right.
Quietly getting off the roof, Chen Yuan slowly touched it...
Wang Er took a deep breath, hugged his chest and lowered his head. If no one looked carefully, no one would be able to see the bulge in his arms.
"rustle..."
A figure walking with the same head lowered appeared directly in front of Wang Er. The two gradually approached, and Wang Er turned sideways to hide, not wanting to cause trouble.
But the man suddenly stopped, and a flash of white light lit up, revealing a pair of deep eyes.
"puff."
Before Wang Er could see who those familiar eyes were, the long knife rushed in and cut off his head without even a chance to scream.
At the end of his life, Wang Er only saw the figure with his back to him, as if he was searching for something on his body.
"The matter has been exposed... Was it the initiative of the other deputy halls? Little Niangpi..." Wang Er only flashed this thought in the end.
...
...
Light a candle.
Chen Yuan expressionlessly took out the wooden box he found from Wang Er. After looking at it for a while, Chen Yuan slashed it down with his knife, causing sawdust to fly everywhere.
Three small ingots of gold ingots and a fine cyan jade pendant were revealed inside.
"Thirty taels of silver, this jade pendant is worth at least five taels of silver," Chen Yuan's eyes flashed, this trip was not in vain.
Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount. Thinking that he had made meritorious service to the county government, he was only rewarded with twenty taels of silver. From this, we can see the value of the silver.
As the leader of Hall Wang, it would take at least two years to save up. Now for the sake of his own future, he gave up his wealth and asked the Huang family's butler to say a few words.
But... a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist. Chen Yuan intercepted the money without any psychological burden, not to mention that the Beihai Gang once oppressed Chen Yuan's family.
Just now, Hall Master Wang's money is probably plundered from the hands of ordinary people.
"With this silver, you can exchange it for three Tiger Bone Pills. In this way... it will be faster to enter the level of blood refining..." Chen Yuan thought to himself.
He is twenty-one years old this year and is already considered an older martial artist. If he does not improve his level as soon as possible, it would be a fool's errand to embark on a stronger martial arts path.
Apart from other things, as far as Chen Yuan knew, the most outstanding disciple of the Huang family was only sixteen years old and already at the blood refining level. This was just a family from a small county town.
By analogy, the strength of the young heroes in the world is definitely beyond his imagination.
One step first, step by step...
Since you are unwilling to be ordinary and decide to enter martial arts, you must work hard in this direction.
That night, Hall Master Wang waited very late...
