One thousand catties of gold, in this era when one catty equals sixteen taels, is sixteen thousand taels.
Liu Ruyan was naturally happy to accept this unexpected windfall. With the money as start-up capital, she could provide work relief to the refugees.
At the same time, take this opportunity to contain people's hearts and condense your own luck.
In fact, she had this plan originally, but knew that she would not be able to convince some old stubborns in the family, but now it is different.
First Xu Sui knocked on Liu Qingyang, and then he had the stepping stone of sixteen thousand taels of gold.
Plans that were originally shelved can proceed smoothly.
Regarding the matter of taking in the refugees, all Xu Sui could do was to pay, and the rest needed to be negotiated between Xie Yushu and Liu Ruyan.
As the sky grew dark, Xu Sui left Liu Mansion in a flash and headed out of the city.
"The hundreds of souls collected by Painted Skin Ghost cannot all belong to passing scholars. Most of them must be the souls of refugees."
Xu Sui's expression turned gloomy when he thought of this.
If Yamazawa Yexiu is a pitiful person and must be hateful, then Moxiu belongs to the type whose account has been exhausted and it would be easier to reopen it as soon as possible.
Although the heavy rain stopped, there were still dark clouds and no moonlight could be seen. Xu Sui walked out of the city with his sword without disturbing anyone.
This means that Xiaoshui Kingdom's fortune can only be confined to the palace at this time, and cannot even cover the entire Fanyang City.
One can imagine how corrupt the situation in Xiaoshui Kingdom was at this time.
"Lao Deng, you've finally come out. I thought you were stuck in there."
Not long after Xu Sui left Fan Yang, Bai Feng landed on his shoulder from the sky, looking worried.
But in fact, this guy is more worried about the spiritual fruit in Fengliu Fan.
Under normal circumstances, before ascending to immortality, the longevity of human monks is not as good as that of monsters in the same realm, let alone ancient beasts like Bai Feng.
Therefore, in Bai Feng's view, as long as Xu Sui didn't ascend, she could kill Xu Sui even if she forced him to do so.
When Xu Sui dies, she will directly inherit the inheritance. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live a peaceful life by eating and drinking in Fengliu Fan every day?
Facts have proved that no matter which world you are in, nibbling on the elderly is the supreme way.
"Don't curse me to death as soon as you come up. Do you gain anything by staying here?"
Xu Sui did not let Bai Feng follow him into the city. On the one hand, he was worried that the entry of such magical beasts into the city would lead to a counterattack by luck. Now it seems that Xu Sui's worries are unfounded.
On the other hand, Bai Feng was asked to stay and look after the refugees to see if any monks wanted to take action.
"Lao Deng, you guessed it right. There are indeed a few scoundrels among the refugees."
Bai Feng looked down at the entire refugee team and naturally discovered several strange spiritual energy fluctuations.
It was neither a monk nor a monster, but a lower-level ghost.
They are puppets that were refined using secret techniques after being devoured by monsters. Although they have human appearances, they are actually already deceptive monsters.
Relying on his flexible racial characteristics, he is a human among humans and a demon among monsters.
They have become the most loyal lackeys of the monsters, and they are more hateful existences than the monsters, but...
"Are you sure you're a ghost?"
Xu Sui was a little surprised by this answer. He originally thought that this was just a royal change caused by monk intervention.
Now there are actually traces of monster intervention.
"Can I still see it wrong? Lao Deng, you will know after you take a look."
Bai Feng pointed in a direction and saw a dozen or so sparse refugees walking out of the crowd and heading towards the forest in the distance.
This situation did not attract the attention of other refugees. Now they don't even have enough to eat and have no energy to deal with these things.
There are many more cases like this, and it is estimated that there are probably hundreds of people.
Xu Sui quietly followed one of the ghosts, gathered his breath and entered the forest together.
Originally, he thought he would have to follow these people around for a long time, but he never thought that he would reach his destination in just one stick of incense.
A large, white-fronted insect with eye-catching eyes was lying on the boulder, taking a nap. Beside it was a middle-aged Taoist sitting cross-legged.
"Master, a hundred heads of blood food have been brought to you."
When the demon ghost saw this man, he immediately rushed over like a flatterer, and then knelt down in front of the boulder with a flawless slide.
Such a superb technique even made Xu Sui, who was hiding aside, doubt that this man had not studied in Yingzhou during his lifetime, otherwise how could he kneel so smoothly.
"If it weren't for the use of keeping these refugees, tens of thousands of them would have become my precious meal."
The middle-aged Taoist patted the head of the spiritual pet beside him and saw the tiger opening its bloody mouth to create a suction force, trying to suck out the hundreds of souls in front of him directly from the body.
Just when those mortal souls were about to leave their bodies, a rope stretched out from the corner and directly locked the tiger's big mouth.
While the souls of mortals returned to their bodies, this move also angered the middle-aged Taoist on the side.
"What kind of unsightly mess is the Beast Control Sect doing?"
The middle-aged Taoist pointed in the direction of the rope, and the strong wind plowed the ground like a blade.
A man jumped out of it. He was embarrassed in order to avoid the blow, but Xu Sui, who was observing in secret, still saw his identity.
You should laugh at me, the Confucian monk who claims to be in Beijing to take the exam.
"The diabolo academy should laugh at me. As far as I know, the Beast Control Sect has never had any rules about raising spiritual pets with living people."
"Hmph~ After extracting the soul, isn't it just a dead person? I am just reusing waste."
The middle-aged Taoist's words were taken as a matter of course, like an old lady waiting for live fish to die in the market.
The meat of the freshly dead fish is still fresh, but it can be purchased at the same price as the dead fish, just like what the middle-aged Taoist did at this time.
If you can't use living people, then use newly dead people. The effect is almost the same anyway.
"Woo~"
The tiger wanted to roar but couldn't break free from the rope. It swooped towards Yingxiao and killed me.
This tiger has already reached the stage of pill formation. It was quite difficult for me to deal with it. The most terrible thing was that the middle-aged Taoist also took action.
The middle-aged Taoist had no intention of leaving him alive when dealing with people like this who would ruin his good deeds.
Under attack from both sides, Ying Xiaowo quickly fell into a disadvantage. Just when he was about to be knocked down by the tiger, he suddenly looked behind the middle-aged Taoist with a shocked expression.
"Brother Xu, when did you come?"
"You are still playing such childish tricks when you are about to die."
The middle-aged Taoist dismissed such tricks. Based on his perception at the stage of pill formation, even people in the same realm could not come behind him silently.
This kind of trick to deceive children is simply...
"Well?"
A sharp pain came from his chest, and the middle-aged Taoist looked in disbelief at the half-length cyan sword that "grew" out of his chest.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't use it."
Xu Sui appeared behind the middle-aged Taoist holding the hilt of his sword.
Bai Feng once ate a piece of jade jue, which was able to hide the phoenix aura in her body, and as she used the jade jue, she became more and more familiar with it.
Nowadays, it is not difficult to hide one's aura with one person.
