Lu Jing had been carrying goods at the dock for a long time, and now he could roughly estimate the weight of the two large boxes just by looking at them. Each weighed at least 600 kilograms.
Moreover, he also saw an acquaintance among the porters carrying the boxes, Niu Jiu.
But Niu Jiu didn't see him. In fact, Niu Jiu didn't dare to raise his head at all. The oppression brought by the hundreds of second-rate or above martial arts masters opposite was too strong. Ordinary people like him couldn't even look up. He didn't even have the courage to look at the other person.
He just obeyed the order and placed the two boxes in the open space in front, and then hurriedly retreated with the other porters.
But when they left, the little head who had been humiliated by Wei Zixian walked up to the two big boxes again, reached out and opened one of the boxes.
The martial arts people in the lobby felt as if their eyes were stabbed by something. The bright golden color actually dimmed the surrounding lights a bit.
"Six hundred taels of gold, you don't need to do anything specifically. As long as you leave the table immediately and give up the opportunity to study the martial arts secret book together, you can divide the money and leave. Each person can get almost thirty taels." Head said loudly.
However, when he finished speaking, no one in the lobby responded.
"Isn't it enough?" He opened another box. This box was filled with a box of antiques. The value may not be as high as the box of gold on the left. The little head added, "First Those who leave can also take one more item from this box.”
There was a commotion among the heroes. More than thirty taels of gold and an antique were offered. The price was not too high, but what they had to do was extremely simple. They just walked out of this restaurant.
Many people couldn't help but agree, especially those with average martial arts skills. The chance of them staying and grabbing the secret book was very low. Maybe taking the money and leaving at this time is the wisest choice.
However, after experiencing the invitation turmoil and learning that Wei Zixian was coming to the banquet tonight, the people who still gritted their teeth and came here were all eager for the martial arts secret book. How could they be willing to just take a sum of money? Just leave.
Especially now that the banquet has just begun and there is no time for a cup of tea, and even the shadow of Jie Liancheng has not been seen yet, even if he wants to leave, it is too early.
So there was a commotion in the lobby for a while, but still no one got up.
There was no change in the expression on the little head's face. After waiting for a while, he clapped his hands again and closed the two large boxes. The eight porters from before came out again and took the box of gold and the box of antiques. He was carried down.
First, there were fine wines and delicacies in front of me, but I couldn't eat them. Then, with the beauty by my side, I almost offered myself a pillow, but I couldn't ask for them. Then, gold treasures came and went.
The patience of the heroes being tormented one after another was almost exhausted.
Some people began to yell and curse, and some picked up weapons, as if Jie Liancheng would demolish the Gong Tower if he didn't come forward.
Xia Huai had carefully put away the painting at this moment, and frowned slightly, "Strange, what does that Jie Liancheng want to do? He gathered everyone together, shouldn't he think that he was using such a small trick? , we can persuade everyone to leave.
"That would be... a bit too naive. Well, there were rumors before that he was a martial arts fanatic who didn't care about anything except practicing martial arts. Could it be that the people around him had bad ideas?"
After saying that, she found that Lu Jing beside her was also lowering his head in deep thought.
So Xia Huai reached out, lightly poked Lu Jing's shoulder, and asked, "Have you figured out why Jie Liancheng did all these actions before?"
"I don't know," Lu Jing shook his head, "That's not what I was thinking about just now."
"What's that?" Xia Huai was curious.
"I'm wondering...where did those two boxes of gold and antiques come from?" Lu Jing said.
As an ordinary porter in the Qingzhu Gang, although Lu Jing does not keep accounts and manage money like those gentlemen, he still knows how much each porter earns.
It is known that the Qingzhu Gang takes 70% of the porters' freight, so we can calculate how much income one porter can bring to the Qingzhu Gang. Multiplied by the number of shifts and porters per shift, we can get the income of a terminal.
There are a total of thirteen piers in Wujiang City, so the total daily income of the Qingzhu Gang is not difficult to estimate. Plus some real estate in the city, it is... quite considerable.
But this money is not pure profit. First, part of it must be used to pay Mr., Stick and the little heads. After that, part of it must be used to smoothen relations with the government and other forces in the dock. After all, there is not much money left. .
Six hundred taels of gold, plus antiques worth no less than six hundred taels of gold. Lu Jing really couldn't figure out where Jie Liancheng got it from.
Is it possible that this guy has changed his career to fighting in reverse?
Just when the crowd's clamor was getting louder and louder, and the situation was about to get completely out of control, a voice was heard from above, "Okay, very good."
It was clear that the lobby had become a mess, and there were endless shouts and curses, but these three words were still clearly transmitted to everyone's ears, and the speaker seemed to be in their ears.
This time, even Wei Zixian, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, opened his eyes, but he also uttered a sentence, "First-class realm, good! Very good, I finally didn't let Wei Mou run in vain tonight."
And his words also made all the heroes present pale. First-class realm? Is there such a master hidden in a small Qingzhu Gang?
But when the man who spoke jumped down from upstairs, someone immediately recognized the man and said in a voiceless voice, "Jie Liancheng, how is this possible?"
The visitor was none other than Jie Liancheng, who had been missing for a long time recently.
After getting the news that Xie Liancheng possessed powerful martial arts secrets, many martial arts people who were ready to make a move poured into Wujiang City from all directions.
Even with the threat of invitations, this group of people would not just be idle in the city.
In fact, during this period of time, many people were secretly searching for the whereabouts of Jie Liancheng. However, they searched through Wujiang City and still couldn't find it. Otherwise, how could they have gone to the banquet tonight? They had already snatched it away. The secret book got away.
Of course, they did not expect that Xie Liancheng had successfully advanced to the first-rate realm. This speed of cultivation was really shocking. You must know that Xie Liancheng was only at the third-rate level nine months ago.
When I thought of this, the greed in the eyes of many people became even stronger. Instead of feeling scared, their hearts beat faster with excitement and they even breathed unsteadily, because they knew that they would be lucky tonight!
The secret book in Xie Liancheng's hands is definitely a magic book! Moreover, it is a magical skill that is even more powerful than the secret skills of the Zhen sects such as Xijian Pavilion, Xuankong Temple, Yunshui Jingci Pavilion and other famous sects. Even if it can be said that it can change one's fate against the will of heaven, it is not an exaggeration.
Because this secret book can enable people with average qualifications like Xie Liancheng to achieve first-class cultivation in nine months. If it falls into their hands, wouldn't it mean that they would be invincible in just one or two years? !
Everyone's eyes became hot at this moment, and even Wei Zixian was also tempted. Although he still had the arrogant expression on his face, the fingers holding the scabbard had indeed tightened.
Lu Jing was the only one in the crowd who was extremely disappointed. Internal skills and mental skills? This thing is of no use to him.
Nine months to become a first-class player is quite fast, but it depends on who you are competing with. If Lu Jing opens up his practice, he will be a first-class player in one month. His current problem is that his internal strength increases a bit too fast. If he does not control it well, he will refresh the hell infinitely. Just around the corner.
The secret book on Jie Liancheng's body is the ultimate treasure that everyone in the martial arts world longs for. However, to Lu Jing, it is not even as good as a roll of toilet paper.
