The monk was seriously injured. He was almost half-lying on the people who were supporting him, but he still managed to keep his spirits up: "I have only heard of... the Sumeru Fetus... the Sumeru Fetus... is refined with this thing. Right!?"
Li Bochen was stunned—the monk was talking about the Sumeru fetus he had eaten before, right? At that time, Ying said that it was made with the wooden body of the Sumeru people. I also felt that using a "fetus" - even the fetus of the Sumeru people - to refine that thing was really nerve-wracking.
But now that I have actually seen it, my perception is different.
Because although this thing looks like a human being, it actually feels more like a very large ginseng plant. It's not warm when you start it, but ice cold, like a big carrot.
Xu Shi saw that Li Boxen spoke kindly at this time, and the wealthy steward next to the monk asked: "Mr. Qi, what is the Sumeru Fetus?"
The monk shook his head, turned his head, glanced at the courtyard, and said in a deep voice: "The Sumeru Fetus... is made into a spiritual elixir that can revive human flesh and bones! It is a treasure!"
After saying this, he raised his hand and saluted Li Boxen: "Hero Li killed evil spirits and deserved this treasure!"
Li Bochen held this thing and looked at the people around him. They were all in Jinghui Tower, and they were all in a very embarrassed state. During the previous fight with Ye Lu, these people were probably worried about their own lives and could not think of anything else. But now that the crisis has been resolved, you can see a look of worry on many people's faces - the Jinghui Building has suffered great losses after being burned down. Not to mention those in charge, those who work in the building must also worry about their future survival.
Although the people here deserve the reputation of being generous and heroic, not everyone is like that.
He thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, is there anyone from Kongminghui here?"
The people around him were stunned. After a while, the monk surnamed Qi said: "...Why does the hero ask this?"
Li Boxen said, "Just a quick question."
Even so, he still had the power to kill the Sumeru people, and no one dared not answer his "casual question". The woman in charge said anxiously: "I...I am."
Li Bochen looked her over and nodded: "I saw three people coming into the yard before. One is Hun San'er, the other is the shopkeeper of Jieku by Liuhe River, and the third one is Li Zhuer's Food Shop in Nanmen. The guys—who knows why they’re here in the middle of the night?”
People were speechless for a moment, and the monk's expression slowly changed, and he said: "Yingxiong Li...we people will never be involved with the devil in any way..."
Li Bochen smiled: "Mr. Qi, don't worry too much, just ask casually."
The female boss gritted her teeth and said, "I know this. Don't believe it when I tell you - that Hun San'er brought a cart of bamboo shoots to the building a few days ago, and suddenly came here tonight for some reason to ask for reward - before. It’s settled.”
"The shopkeeper of the Qin family's Jieku - we also put the remaining money in the Jieku to make money. He came last night for money. The guy from Li Zhuer's Food Shop said that a customer in the building called him The food was delivered. But when I asked, there was no such guest."
She stared at Li Boxen: "It's all just coincidence and all the truth. Are you saying... these people are involved with that Xumi person?"
Li Bochen saw that her expression didn't seem to be fake, and the other two people nodded slightly when she spoke, so he felt that it was indeed the truth. Ye Lu also said that they didn't know why they were here tonight. The man was arrogant and perverse and would not lie in such a small way.
He asked this matter just to explore it briefly. There are indeed people in the Kongminghui in Jinghui Tower, and they must not know about it. They are all used by Ye Lu.
Then he smiled and said, "I don't think so. Don't worry too much about this matter - Chief, I have one more thing to ask. If I want to help Miss Qiao redeem her life, how much should I pay?"
These people were stunned when they heard this, and the manager subconsciously turned his face and looked into the distance - Lin Qiao was half-lying on the cotton curtain. A maid had gotten hot soup from somewhere and was feeding it to her. She looked languid, and there was a scratch on her cheek. It seemed that she had just fallen hard and was still awake.
But with such messy hair and blurred eyes, he looked even more pitiable. The firelight in the distance made her hair slightly red, as if she had stepped out of a painting. Even those who see Tian'er should sigh in their hearts: What a beautiful person with a beautiful country and a fragrant country.
The manager withdrew his gaze and said, "Li... I can't make up my mind on this matter. It has to be decided by the big boss."
The monk was silent for a moment and whispered: "Mr. Li..., although these girls in the building have fallen into prostitution, they have not been treated badly. Many of them were originally daughters of good families and were forced to make a living. What if ...If you want to..."
When Li Bochen heard this, he knew that they would be wrong. With a force of his hand, he twisted the head of the wriggling Sumeru Fetus with a click, and said: "Mr. Qi, you know that this Sumeru Fetus is also a cultivator. You should have some way to find out what to do with it." manage."
"What happened tonight happened because of me, and I should make compensation. But I don't have much money, so is it appropriate to use this Xumi fetus to compensate Jinghui Tower and replace it with a clever girl?"
The monk and the leader were stunned, and their eyes widened. Li Bochen waved his hand and said, "I have an old relationship with her, and I don't want her to suffer here. I have no other thoughts."
They were stunned for a while, and then the monk's face suddenly turned red, and he said repeatedly: "Li Yingxiong, I'm really sorry, I was wrong, wrong, alas!"
The manager looked at the monk and then at Li Boxen, not knowing what to say for a moment. However, there was a woman who looked like a maid next to her and whispered: "This is also a good thing...Mother Zheng, the big boss will also be happy."
The manager's eyes rolled around, and finally he sighed and said, "Then I'll ask her."
After saying this, he slowly walked away.
Li Bochen could tell that she was somewhat reluctant. Maybe he didn't understand how much the Xumi Fetus was worth, or maybe he couldn't bear to part with Lin Qiao's red card. But when he asked about it at this time, he also knew that the time was right. Although he didn't want to do anything to use his power to overwhelm others, these people could clearly see what he was capable of just now, so they shouldn't dare to offend him. In normal times, this boss would have had many reasons to shirk the situation, and would have caused big trouble if things went wrong.
Li Bochen saw her walking over and leaned over to say a few words to Lin Qiao.
Lin Qiao seemed to be still confused and was stunned for a while. The manager pointed this way, and Lin Qiao turned around and shed two tears.
Li Bochen felt relieved and thought it was done.
He had to take her away. Not to mention her mother's kindness in rescuing Chang Tingwei, and the fact that she herself sold herself to save her brother's life - if other people in the Kongming Society were to be found in the future, Lin Qiao would also fall into despair. In big trouble, he might even die.
Although he didn't know where to stay at the moment, it was still within his power to take her out of danger for the time being.
