"Official Zhao has been really prosperous recently! We are so envious of him."
"Yes, yes, although Nanyang Shipping is a hugely profitable business, and the income makes everyone jealous, but unfortunately it requires too much upfront investment and the risk is extremely high. Even if you go ten ships, you may not be able to get one back, so even if you are a wealthy businessman, Many wealthy businessmen also lost their lives due to shipping.
"And Mr. Zhao, your fleet returned home for the first time on its first voyage. Not only did you sell out all the tea and silk it carried, but you also brought back a ship full of ivory jewelry. I'm afraid the profit from this trip alone has already reached nearly 100,000 yuan." One million taels of silver!"
"By the way, I also heard that Mr. Zhao, you got the salt through Eunuch He's way, and you are going to sell salt to Qingzhou. This is a big business that is sure to make a profit! But I'm afraid there will be some unscrupulous Xiaoxiao. You are causing trouble to Mr. Zhao, my little brother is not talented. I have some friends in the martial arts in Qingzhou who can help Mr. Zhao to intimidate Xiaoxiao!"
A skinny man with a jade ring said with a smile, and even personally poured wine for the fat businessman named Zhao.
However, when the latter heard this, he waved his hand and said arrogantly, "What do you want from the martial arts world? With Zhao's current wealth, it doesn't matter if he is targeted, in the end he will not come to give me money! Hahahaha." "
What he said was so arrogant that everyone at the table looked at each other in shock and couldn't even apologize.
Seeing the expressions of others, Zhao Daguan became even more proud. He drank the wine in one gulp and looked at the others sideways, "Don't believe it? Just a month ago, I went out to the city to discuss business with people and met a group of people. The gangster kidnapped me and wanted to ask for a ransom.
"They probably didn't want to keep me alive anymore, so they spoke unscrupulously in front of me, and even told me where they hid their money. However, they later bumped into a high-ranking man who was a knight-errant. people.
"In the end, they all lost their lives, but not only did I escape from their hands unharmed, I then ran to the place where the money was buried, and dug out a thousand taels of gold and antique calligraphy and paintings worth at least one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Obviously, they didn't expect Zhao Daguan's wealth to be so arrogant.
But Officer Zhao hadn't finished his words yet. He continued, "However, this windfall made me targeted by a guerrilla general. He framed me as an enemy spy and wanted to put me in jail and seize my family property." .
"I never thought that it would lead to me getting acquainted with the powerful Eunuch He. He loved painting. I dedicated the three ancient paintings I got from the bandits to him. Not only did I save myself from danger, but I also got a A huge backer that holds all the power in the government and the public.
"Eunuch He helped me get the salt. This time I want to see how much more money I can make!" Zhao Daguan's laughter became more and more wanton at the end of the sentence, which made the tiles on the roof rustle.
When everyone heard this, they all raised their glasses and congratulated Mr. Zhao again.
There was envy, jealousy, and unwillingness in their eyes, but no matter what, everyone had to admit that Zhao Daguan's wealth was really terrible.
It also strengthened the idea that they should follow Zhao Daguan, and Zhao Daguan would eat meat while they drank soup.
But none of them expected that the very next moment, Zhao Daguan, who was extremely proud, would become extremely happy and sad.
I don't know where a black cat appeared from, jumped directly from the rafter to the dining table, and took a bite of Zhao Daguan's right hand.
Official Zhao suddenly let out a scream.
At the same time, Lu Jing also greedily sucked the thing from Zhao Daguan's body into his own mouth. It was a large golden ingot. Lu Jing often heard people talk about the smell of money.
And this time he finally really tasted the taste of money.
The taste was indeed delicious. Lu Jing burped, and before Zhao Daguan could catch him, he kicked his legs and jumped off the table, knocking over a bowl of fish soup.
Then he nimbly twisted his body, passed through the crowd of people at the same table, and quickly ran up the railing on the second floor.
"Catch it! Catch it!" Zhao Daguan roared behind him, "I want to kill this little beast!"
However, Lu Jing's body had already jumped out and landed on the shorter hay shed opposite. Then he waved his tail and disappeared into the street.
Lu Jing had no time to recall what he had eaten and the thrilling scene just now.
The next moment he was standing by a small bridge, and in front of him was a woman standing by the bridge. She looked about thirty years old, which was not too old at this age.
Especially in Lu Jing's previous life, he had not even reached the point of dismissal.
But there were already gray hairs on her temples, and she looked very old. She covered her face and sobbed, "Why, why is my life so miserable? My father died when I was a child, and then my mother." .
"I finally got married, but less than a year later, the man was drafted to fight again. He died under the arrow as soon as he entered the battlefield. Fortunately, I was already pregnant at that time, and the child in my belly was the only one who could keep me alive. the only hope.
"But when my child grew up to ten years old, he also fell into the river and drowned. After that, I found a man to remarry. However, within three years, he was helping others repair the house, but he accidentally fell from the roof. Broken neck.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
While she was crying, she wanted to jump off the bridge, but then she felt a pain in her ankle. When she turned around, she saw that a black cat had just bit her. The woman looked at the black cat, but she did not scream in surprise, but felt a little dazed. He said, "Why, don't you want me to jump down?"
However, the black cat couldn't speak, and was just silently reminiscing about the thing he had swallowed before. It was a ball of dead air and had a strange taste. It felt like he had just drank a bowl of bean juice.
It was a bit nauseating at first, but the aftertaste was actually not bad. Lu Jing ignored the woman by the bridge, licked his lips, and ran into the night again.
Then he met the poetic fairy who was full of literary thoughts, met the stunning beauty who was known as a disaster, the scholar who failed in many attempts, and the gambler who had extremely bad luck...
Lu Jing also sucked out all kinds of strange things from their bodies. These things had different tastes, and he swallowed them all into his stomach.
And sometimes his stomach would be inexplicably bloated, so he would also find a way to vomit something into other people.
For example, he once spit out the golden ingot to a beggar who was begging on the street. Not long after, the latter found a pocket of gold from the Buddha statue in the ruined temple where he lived.
Another example is that he vomited a cloud of clouds that he had eaten from Shixian to a kid who had just entered elementary school. The latter looked at the goose in his chicken coop, and immediately blurted out a rhyme poem, which was He is called a child prodigy from all over the country.
