Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 148 Fear of Changes in the City
This is... not a small space?
Ji Yuan was in a daze and couldn't come back to his senses for a while.
Feeling the huge space of twenty feet square within the jade finger, I didn't know how to speak for a while.
You must know that a mountain and river bag on his body only contains a few feet of space, and it is already worth about one hundred thousand taels of silver.
It’s hard to imagine what a huge amount this jade ring would be if converted into silver coins!
The larger the space in such an object, the higher its value. After it exceeds ten feet, the money required for each foot will increase exponentially.
A space twenty feet square is probably worth at least 800,000 taels of silver, and it is still priceless but not marketable!
"Compared with what we got from the Li family, this is nothing."
Wang Zhenyuan glanced at him, his face calm and calm, as if he was not giving away something valuable worth at least 800,000 taels, but an inconspicuous object.
This magnanimity alone made Ji Yuan and Xia Dong admire them. You must know that Luoxia County's annual tax revenue is only more than one million taels of silver, but the other party casually gave away almost two-thirds of it.
tax stuff.
"If you are willing to do so in the future, you can have more contact with Xu Lin. I, Mingjian Division, am not a jackal or a leopard. I am not as unkind as the outside world says."
Wang Zhenyuan thought for a while, and then gave a warning.
At the same time, he also pointed out that if the name card he sent was in danger, once it was crushed, he could deliver a blow comparable to the peak of the three realms.
Although it is useless to the great monks who have formed the golden elixir, for the monks in the third level and below, without strong means, they can definitely be killed in one blow.
"Okay, you can go about your own business."
After a few words of warning, Wang Zhenyuan waved his hand, looking a little impatient.
Upon seeing this, Ji Yuan immediately bowed and saluted, then took Xia Dong and left.
After they left, the head of the Mingjian Department breathed a sigh of relief. The conversation, which lasted less than half a moment, left a look of exhaustion in his eyes.
Sure enough, worldliness and sophistication are more draining of energy than cultivation!
He sighed in his heart, then returned to the house and immersed himself in boring practice.
"This head of the Mingjian Department..."
After leaving the small courtyard, Xia Dong subconsciously wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he quickly covered his mouth.
For such a high-level figure, let alone being separated by a wall, even if he is hundreds or thousands of feet away, he can still listen carefully as long as the other person is willing.
However, although Xia Dong did not finish his words, Ji Yuan knew what he wanted to say and couldn't help but nodded empathetically.
This person can be regarded as a strange person. His killing power is not only unparalleled in any province, but he is also a legend himself. Otherwise, he would not be able to take charge of the Mingjian Division of a county.
It was just rumored that a ruthless man who dared to wield a knife against immortals and even beheaded the beloved son of a powerful man in front of his face did not expect that he would actually look like a weak young man.
And the other person seems...a little afraid of contact with others?
In the end, the impatience in his eyes, Ji Yuan saw clearly, was not directed at them, but at talking to others.
"This should be regarded as a unique behavior that only belongs to the strong, right?"
He muttered something in his mind, and then quickly put these years behind him.
To treat a strong man, even if you are talking about it in your heart, is a kind of disrespect, especially when the other person is the head of the Mingjian Department, who has fought for the court and the people for most of his life.
When the two of them just walked out of the gate of Mingjian Division, they immediately saw a young man with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, waiting outside the Yamen.
"Master Xu, what are you doing standing here?"
Seeing this young man, Ji Yuan immediately smiled and then shouted loudly.
He has a very good impression of the swordsman of Mingjian Division. After several contacts, although they have different tempers, they get along very harmoniously.
"Let's go have a drink with me!"
Xu Lin threw a package, which was the size of a millstone, then turned around and walked away.
There is no doubt that this package (this chapter is not yet finished!)
Chapter 148 There may be changes in the city
Among them, there is the benefit that belongs to Ji Yuan.
When he was in Qianyu City, he made a deal with this person. All the merits and achievements would go to the other person, plus a magical weapon of good quality and the majestic spiritual energy contained in it.
In exchange, the other party needs to bear all the burdens and prevent them from being entangled in karma or attracting the attention of the court.
Of course, in addition, Xu Lin also needs to provide a benefit.
After Ji Yuan put away the package, he quickly followed, walking side by side on the street with the unruly Mingjian Si Tianjiao.
As for whether this move would attract some attention or even have any causal implications, he actually didn't care.
Usually, we try to avoid cause and effect in order not to add unnecessary trouble, but it does not mean that the facts are always like this. In that case, it would be better to find a deep mountain and crawl into it, and then have nothing to do with the world.
"Waiting for me outside the door?"
he suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Xu Lin did not reply, but glanced with pretended disdain, as if to say: "Are you worthy?"
Seeing this scene, Ji Yuan grinned and did not try to expose anything.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at a small restaurant with a bleak business and sat by the window on the second floor.
Apart from two bottles of wine and a few side dishes, I didn't order anything else, which seemed a bit casual.
"The owner of this restaurant was once the swordsman of Mingjian Division. During an encirclement and suppression of ghosts, he was seriously injured and his cultivation was exhausted, so he opened a restaurant here just for Mingjian Division to relax."
Xu Lin said in a low mood, and then told the two of them that the food and drinks here were all specially made. Not only were there no turbid impurities, they even contained a little spiritual energy.
Ji Yuan didn't care much about this. Although monks were very concerned about one drink and one peck in their practice, sometimes they didn't need to care about too many things.
Otherwise, what is the point of practicing hard?
It is great to be able to ask about immortality, but there are many things beyond this that are worthy of monks to calmly taste.
"Thanks to your plan this time, Mingjian Division made a huge profit. I'd like to toast you with this glass of wine!"
When the food and wine arrived, Xu Lin immediately filled it for both of them, then raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
If Ji Yuan hadn't said hello in advance and sent detailed information, Mingjian Division would probably have been the same as before in the matter of the Li family this time, unable to find a chance to intervene and could only watch from the sidelines.
But it will never be like this now. It can no longer be described as a bucket full of money. After the Li family's mansion was searched, although part of it had to be handed over to the county governor's office and handed over to the court, the rest was also
It's worth a lot of money.
Not to mention the several storage bags on the head of the Li family and the mountains of various precious spiritual materials in the jade ring.
It can be said that just this time, Mingjian Division has made wealth equivalent to that which has been difficult to make in the past decades!
"It's just a little effort, just to make friends."
Ji Yuan said with a smile, and also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
But he was a young man after all, and he had never drank much, so he choked and his face turned red all of a sudden.
Seeing this, Xu Lin not only didn't mean to laugh at all, but had a solemn expression on his face.
"It may be a small effort for you, but for everyone in the Mingjian Department, it is a huge favor."
Xu Lin sighed: "We, Mingjian Division, all owe you a favor. If necessary, just say hello. As long as you do not violate the laws of the imperial court, I will go with you on the sword and into the sea of fire!"
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't react for a while, and couldn't understand why it had risen to such a high level.
Then in the other party's words, he finally understood a little bit. The feeling was that Mingjian Division had been in a state of extreme lack of money in recent years.
In order to ensure sufficient training resources and the cost of healing for the sword holder, 70% to 80% of Mingjian Division's money has been spent.
Although everyone tightened their belts and even tried every means to make some extra money, they still owed many pensions to those who died in battle, leaving too many orphans and widowed mothers without money.
Now that I have made a huge fortune from the Li family affair, I can not only make up for the owed pension, but I even have enough energy to repay it three times! (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 148 There may be changes in the city
This allowed all the sword holders to finally let go of some of their guilt and avoid suffering such mental torture every day.
In addition, the remaining silver was enough for them to start practicing. They no longer had to worry about being injured and having no money for treatment, and they no longer had to worry about the family being unable to survive if they were killed in battle.
This is naturally a huge favor for all the swordsmen of Mingjian Division.
After understanding the reason, Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was indeed something he had never thought of before, nor had he planned for it.
"I appreciate your kindness, but it really doesn't have to be this way."
He sighed softly and declined politely.
If this was a favor from other forces or sects, or even from court officials such as county guards, then he would naturally be happy to accept it.
But he really didn't want to accept the favor from the swordsman of Mingjian Division. There was no other reason. These people were really taking their lives to protect countless people in the Chongqing Dynasty.
No matter how difficult the conditions were, even to the point where there was no money to treat injuries, he never complained at all and still charged in the most dangerous places.
This is a group of heroes who are more respectable than the heroes of the world.
After being favored by them, Ji Yuan would feel uneasy with his conscience and it was against his own conscience.
"It's your business whether you accept it or not, and it's our business whether you remember it or not."
Xu Lin rolled his eyes at him and concentrated on drinking the wine in his glass.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan shook his head helplessly, not knowing how to persuade him for a moment.
After thinking for a long time, I simply let them go. If some things are too rigid, it will make both parties unhappy.
"Although the Qian family has dozens of formations and an inherited magic weapon, once they meet a real master, it is still not safe enough."
He put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "Now you also have the name of the chief of the department. If you are in danger, you may as well come directly to the Mingjian Department. Even the golden elixir monks here do not dare to act rashly."
Ji Yuan knew that the other party's words were considered modest. With the combat power of the boss Wang Zhenyuan comparable to the peak of Jindan, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the safest places in Lingyang Mansion.
Even according to the intelligence collected by Ming Xinxuan, if the chief of the department had not hesitated to have contact with people and was willing to stay in this county, even the position of the chief of Mingjian Division in Fucheng would have been in his pocket.
The thing in.
Suddenly something moved in his heart, and he looked at Xu Lin suspiciously: "Is something going to happen in the city again?"
If this were not the case, there would be no need for the other party to mention this specifically at this moment.
Sure enough, after hearing the sound, Xu Lin's face suddenly darkened.
