Wen Feng hid in a tree hole for a whole day, and then walked towards the west after dark. He still used the dense forest to sneak in, leaving no clues in the middle.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Wen Feng found a cave and walked in after walking out of the dense forest.
What came out was a thin old man, with wrinkles on his face, calloused hands, stains all over his body, and a pungent stench. He walked slowly under the night, with shaky steps. He was definitely a man.
Poor old man who is down and out.
This is Wen Feng's habit. As long as he disguises himself as another person, Wen Feng will act according to that person's identity regardless of whether anyone is watching.
After walking like this for two days, Wen Feng finally saw a village. Just as Wen Feng was about to speed up his pace, he suddenly felt a slight noise behind him. Wen Feng ignored it and even kept walking forward without changing the pace under his feet.
.
There was nothing unusual about Wen Feng on the surface. He secretly injected his inner energy into his ears and listened to every move around him.
"Commander, I think this old man will be fine."
"There are no clues in the woods, but there are traces of someone walking on the edge of the woods. It was this old man who followed him all the way. What do you say?"
"But we caught up with him in one day. Based on his experience of running away from us, we wouldn't have discovered him so easily."[
"That's true, but have you ever seen an old man walking in the mountains and woods without walking?"
The wise words made Wen Feng secretly complain that they were bad and self-defeating. However, these people are really powerful. They were able to catch up here by relying on the clues they left two days ago.
"Old man, please wait a moment." Three people dressed as warriors caught up behind them. The three of them were dressed exactly the same, except that the middle belt had three gold threads, and the other two had only one.
Wen Feng turned around and looked at the three of them in confusion.
"Old man, are you from Fuling Mountain?" The person in the middle was the one who spoke, while the other two were carefully observing Wen Feng's every move.
"Fu Ling Mountain? What Fu Ling Mountain?" Wen Feng's cloudy eyes showed confusion.
"It's the dense forest to the east." The man in the middle explained.
"Yes, that's where I came back." After hearing the explanation, Wen Feng suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.
"Have you ever been in there, old man?" The man in the middle looked a little nervous.
"No, I originally went to collect medicine for the old lady. Unexpectedly, a young man gave me the medicine before I went in." Wen Feng looked grateful, and a few more wrinkles appeared on his old face.
"What kind of young man is he?" The man in the middle couldn't help but get excited when he mentioned the young man, and asked hurriedly.
Wen Feng took a few steps back, pointed at the swords in the hands of the three of them with trembling fingers, and asked timidly: "What are you doing?"
Seeing Wen Feng's actions, the man in the middle smiled and asked, "Don't be afraid, old man. He should be our young master. He came out on his own, and the family is very worried."
Wen Feng touched his chest, looked at the three of them, and said, "What a strange young man. I must make the old man agree not to take the main road when I come back."
"Then do you know which way the young man went?" The man in the middle has roughly determined that this young man is Wen Feng, and his purpose is to let the old man lead him here.[
"After he gave me the medicine, he returned to the woods. What was that boy's name? So that the old man would know the name of his benefactor." Wen Feng looked at the three of them expectantly, waiting for their answers.
"My young master's name is Wen Feng. I will be the general in the future. Goodbye, old man." After saying this, the three of them turned around and left quickly.
Who are these people? I will become a general. Are you kidding me? I just want to live well now. Wen Feng still walked slowly. He didn't feel anyone following him until he let out a long breath.
In the next three days, Wen Feng tried all kinds of anti-tracking methods, but he never found anyone following him, and he felt relieved again.
Wen Feng was dressed as a mercenary today, a one-eyed mercenary holding an axe.
Walking on the street, I saw a group of people gathered in front of me. Wen Feng also walked over and walked a path very domineeringly. When he came closer, everyone was very dissatisfied. They saw the ferocious face with one eye missing.
, coupled with the huge ax in their hands, everyone wisely chose to shut up.
"Boy, you have caused our master to lose so much money. Let's see if I don't beat you to death today." When he got closer, he saw a group of big men dressed as servants surrounding a young boy, beating him with fists and kicks.
Although the young man was already lying on the ground, holding his head in his hands, he did not say a word for mercy, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
"Stop." At this time, a group of soldiers came over, and the leader shouted loudly.
"Gao Lian, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." It seemed that this group of servants were not afraid of the soldiers coming, and they kept kicking and beating the young man on the ground.
When the leader saw it, he pulled out his long sword. He faced the group of servants with the sword and struck it. In just a moment, all the servants were knocked to the ground. Then the leader helped the young man on the ground and patted him.
Looking at the young man's shoulders, he said boldly: "Good boy, you have the backbone, didn't I tell you to leave here? Why are you still here?"
"I want revenge." The young man clenched his fists and said fiercely.
"Then you have to be destined. You don't get to meet me every time." The leader was a little angry. He dragged the young man and walked towards the city gate. As he walked, he said, "Okay, I will send you out of the city now, and don't come back again."
.”
The young man followed silently out of the city gate without saying a word. Wen Feng watched from the side and followed. After leaving the city, the leader gave the young man some money and turned back.
Wen Feng followed the young man not far away. The young man turned around and looked at the city wall behind him. He dragged his injured body and walked towards the distance. He walked to a newly erected tomb and knelt down.
"Why, are you still thinking about revenge?" Wen Feng walked over and said calmly.
The young man turned around, looked at Wen Feng, and said without hesitation: "Yes, I must avenge grandpa."
"What will you do if I avenge you?" Looking at the young man kneeling on the ground, Wen Feng spoke again.
"No, I must take revenge with my own hands." The young man did not say what Wen Feng wanted.
"What if I let you take revenge with your own hands?" Wen Feng was surprised by the young man's words, but he still asked again.
"If you can help me get revenge, everything about me will be yours from now on." The young man's eyes lit up when he heard Wen Feng's words, and he said without hesitation.
"Tell me, how can I help you?" Wen Feng felt happy when he heard the young man's words, but he still asked calmly.
"Money, I need a lot of money. I want to make the Zheng family's life worse than death." The young man thought for a while and said, but he didn't hold much hope in his tone.
It's no wonder that with Wen Feng's current appearance, a disabled mercenary and a rusty axe, no one would associate him with a rich man.
"How much?" Wen Feng asked bluntly.
"Fifty thousand gold coins, if you give me fifty thousand gold coins, I can pay you back a lot, I promise." The young man's eyes revealed strong confidence.
Wen Feng took out a savings card from his arms, waved it in front of the young man's eyes, and said, "There are 120,000 gold coins in it. I can give it to you, but you have to answer a few questions."
The young man obviously didn't expect that the mercenary in front of him would have so much money. There was a bit of surprise in his eyes and he said, "Just ask."
"What's your name?" Wen Feng asked.
"Little monkey." The boy said and stood up.
"What grudge do you have against the Zheng family?" Wen Feng continued to ask.
"They killed my grandfather." The young man's eyes once again showed the light of hatred.
"What's going on? Why did they beat you today? Tell me in detail." Wen Feng's face looked a little unhappy.
Seeing the displeasure on Dao Wenfeng's face, the young man quickly told the whole story:
It turns out that the little monkey was picked up by his grandfather. The grandfather and grandson depended on each other for life. They both helped in the Zheng family's shop. A year ago, the little monkey's grandfather fell ill and the family's savings were slowly spent. The little monkey had to go to Zheng's shop.
The family wanted to pay the wages they owed, but who knew that the Zheng family not only refused to pay the money, but also beat the little monkey for missing work.
At this time, the little monkey's grandfather was already very ill because he had not taken medicine for several days. When the little monkey dragged his injured body back home, the little monkey's grandfather became angry after seeing it. He fainted and fell asleep again.
Didn't wake up either.
After the little monkey buried his grandfather, he went to the head of the Zheng family and said that he had a way to make the Zheng family make a lot of money. When the head of the Zheng family heard that he could make money, he asked the little monkey to tell him his method.
The little monkey’s solution was very simple, that is, table salt, because the empire’s salt was transported from the sea to the mainland every three months. The little monkey asked the Zheng family to buy all the salt from several nearby cities and sell it as food on the market.
When the supply of salt is insufficient, sell it at a higher price to earn the price difference. Even if you cannot sell the salt, it will not go bad.
After hearing this, the head of the Zheng family was overjoyed and immediately followed the little monkey's method to buy salt, and indeed he made a huge profit.
During this period, the little monkey found several other merchants and asked them to buy the Zheng family's salt at a high price, and then sell it at a low price to earn future customers, and in the process, he slandered the Zheng family.
Three months later, new salt arrived and the market returned to calm. However, the business of Zheng's shop was not as good as before. Even if the price of everything was the same, everyone was willing to walk a few more steps to other shops.
purchase.
Only the head of the Zheng family knew he had been fooled. As long as the little monkey appeared in the city, servants would beat him. Today was the third time the little monkey was beaten.
After listening to the little monkey's narration, Wen Feng nodded with satisfaction. Yes, this method is indeed destructive. Wen Feng smiled and asked: "You only have 50,000 gold coins, how do you plan to take revenge?"
The Zheng family can purchase all the salt in several cities, and fifty thousand gold coins will definitely not hurt the Zheng family. Wen Feng really wants to know what solution the little monkey has come up with.
"I will open a similar store next to the Zheng family's main store. As long as it is the Zheng family's main product, I will post a price list, which is much cheaper than what he sells." The little monkey thought for a while and replied. Seeing the article
Feng was puzzled, and the little monkey continued, "But my store doesn't sell these products at all."
Wen Feng thought for a while and realized that this would indeed harm the Zheng family, but it was not a long-term solution. He said, "This is not a long-term solution. The Zheng family will soon know the reason."
The little monkey continued without thinking: "I know, I did this just to make the Zheng family hate me, and then I released the news to the Zheng family, saying that there would be a war next year and the price of food would increase, and then I announced the purchase
For grain, I will contact other merchants and ask them to find a way to sell the damp grain to the Zheng family so that the Zheng family can get their money back."
Damn, this is Wen Feng's evaluation of the little monkey, but he still asked: "Can you be sure that other merchants will do what you say, and the Zheng family will believe the information you release?"
"The Zheng family has been suppressing other businesses these years. They all want revenge. As for the Zheng family, I have a way to make them believe it." Little Monkey said confidently.
"That's all?" Wen Feng knew that these would not destroy the Zheng family.
"No, then I will take care of the transportation of the Zheng family's goods..."
"Then we will move to the manufacturing factory for Zheng's products..."
"Then it comes to the clerk in Zheng's shop..."
"besides……"
"besides……"
The little monkey said more than a dozen words in a row. Wen Feng was sweating profusely as he listened. He had already seen the demise of the Zheng family, even its demise after being ruined.
"You said you would listen to me in the future, is that true?" Now Wen Feng really wanted to keep the little monkey by his side.
"Yes, I said it." said the little monkey.
"How can I trust you?" Wen Feng asked in a deep voice.
The little monkey was very smart. After hearing Wen Feng's words, he knelt down in front of Wen Feng, raised his hands to the sky, and said: "Today, my little monkey swears in front of grandpa's grave: I will be loyal to..." in this life.
The little monkey looked up at Wen Feng.
"Wen Feng." Wen Feng said his name.
"I will be loyal to Wen Feng in this life. If I violate this oath, my grandfather will have no peace and will live in hell forever; the little monkey will not have a good death. After death, he will go to the eighteen levels of hell and will not be reincarnated forever; if there are descendants, the male generation will be
Slaves serve as eunuchs, and women serve as maids and prostitutes from generation to generation.”
After the little monkey finished speaking, Wen Feng was shocked. This included his dearest grandfather, himself, and even his descendants.
Wen Feng helped the little monkey up from the ground and handed the savings card into the little monkey's hand.
Then he took off his disguise. The little monkey was dumbfounded. Wen Feng smiled and said, "This is my true face. Where can you find the most convenient place to find out information?"
"Restaurants, casinos, brothels." The little monkey thought carefully for a long time before answering cautiously, because he knew that what Wen Feng asked him to do next was the reason why Wen Feng took him in and helped him.
"Very good. After you take revenge, you will find a way to open restaurants, casinos, and brothels in every city in the empire and even the mainland." Seeing the embarrassment on the little monkey's face, Wen Feng continued, "Don't worry, I will give you the best.
The wine produced using the unique wine-making method is definitely the best wine in the world.”
"If we really have the best wine, I can open restaurants all over the continent and establish the best intelligence system in the continent." The little monkey is really smart.
"Very good, by the way, what's your grandfather's last name?" Wen Feng asked.
"My surname is Peng." the little monkey replied.
"From now on, your name will be Peng Cheng, and the hotel's name will be Wanli." After thinking for a while, he continued, "And don't let any third party know about our relationship."
"I understand, how can I find the young master in the future?" Peng Cheng nodded in agreement and then asked
