Xu Jinhuan patted Xia Zhiying on the shoulder and consoled her, "Don't worry, I'll help you get your money back with interest."

After saying that, she waved her hand, signaling Xia Zhiying and the others to leave first.

After they left, Xu Jinhuan used his invisibility ability to hide in a corner, and then quietly sneaked into Fu's house.

She had not walked far when she heard voices, so she followed the sound and soon arrived at the main courtyard, where she saw two men, one old and one young, talking.

"Dad, just give me some more money. I swear I will never gamble again." The young man said to the middle-aged man shamelessly.

The middle-aged man tapped the young man's forehead with a look of disappointment.

"Fu Dongsheng, can you please vent your anger a little? Look around you and see if there are any kids your age who still ask me for money.

Let's talk about your gambling. You've promised me eight hundred times, but which time have you kept your promise? In a word, I don't have any money."

Fu Dongsheng curled his lips in displeasure when he heard this. "Dad, what are you talking about? How is it possible that our family has no money?

As long as this business continues for a long time, I believe our family will definitely become the richest in Tongqiao County."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Do you think doing business is that easy? Besides, although Xia Zhiying is not in Tongqiao County now, if she suddenly hears the news one day.

How can we reap the rewards if they know that we sold the goods secretly?"

After saying that, he glared at Fu Dongsheng again.

"I thought I could just get the house, but you actually sold it secretly behind my back to pay off your gambling debts.

Selling it would be fine, but you even signed a supply agreement with the people in the ghost market. This is really making things worse and worse. I don't know how to help you cover it."

Fu Dongsheng smiled cunningly and said, "Dad, you are wronging me. The reason I signed the agreement with the Ghost Market was to be on the safe side.

If Xia Zhiying suddenly causes trouble for us, we have someone to rely on."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at his prodigal son in surprise, as if he didn't expect that he could have such a brain.

But then he shook his head again, "Even if the ghost market helps, it's just a temporary solution. Xia Zhiying is the one who made the thing. If she dies, the thing will be gone.

By then, our family will still be finished, it will just be a matter of changing the executor. "

Hearing this, Fu Dongsheng smiled even more cunningly, "Hehe, Dad, I've thought about this too. When the time comes, I'll tell the people in the ghost market that I've chosen Xia Zhiying.

The ghost market will certainly give me some face for that thing, so this person will fall into our hands again."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man thought about it carefully for a while and thought it was a good idea. He patted Fu Dongsheng on the shoulder while scolding him with a smile.

"Good boy, I never knew you had this kind of brain. You really take after your father."

Then he stroked his beard complacently and said, "Although the Xia family has fallen into decline, Xia Zhiying is from a big family after all. She is indeed qualified to be my daughter-in-law, your wife."

Unexpectedly, Fu Dongsheng waved his hands in disdain, "Dad, how can a woman whose family was confiscated and her clan was exterminated be my legal wife? She is only fit to be a concubine in the backyard.

My legal wife must have a more honorable status, maybe I can even become a royal consort in the future!"

The middle-aged man looked at Fu Dongsheng, who was holding his waist with both hands and had an arrogant look on his face, and couldn't help but frowned and said, "You little bastard, you want to fly before you can even run. What are the conditions of our family? How dare you covet the princess?"

Fu Dongsheng pointed to the side room in the main courtyard and said, "Dad, you still don't see the value of that thing. As long as we can produce it continuously, let alone the princess, we can even be the emperor."

The middle-aged man was frightened by his son's bold words. He covered his son's mouth and looked around in panic. After confirming that the servants were not there, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You are really going to die, how dare you say such outrageous words?"

Fu Dongsheng pulled his father's hand away and smiled mysteriously, "Dad, you must not have seen the real power of that thing. When I went to the ghost market for the first time, the people who inspected the goods took that thing to a bamboo forest.

With just one pack, the entire bamboo forest collapsed, and everything closest to it turned directly into ashes. With such power, why can't we become emperors?"

The middle-aged man only knew that the thing was valuable, but didn't know its real function. After hearing his son's description, his face turned pale.

"Little bastard, why didn't you tell me earlier that we can't stay here any longer, we have to leave as soon as possible!"

Fu Dongsheng asked in confusion: "Dad, you have such a good business, why do you want to leave?"

The middle-aged man said angrily: "What kind of good deal is this? This thing is a death warrant. I'm afraid we can get the money but not spend it!"

After he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Fu Dongsheng's confused and stupid look, so he could only explain in a bad mood.

“If this thing causes a murder, the government will definitely conduct a large-scale search. By then, the Ghost Market will have someone backing it up, so it will be fine.

But we, the powerless common people, will definitely become scapegoats."

Fu Dongsheng said nonchalantly: "What's there to be afraid of? As long as we can supply these things, the people in the ghost market will definitely not give up on us."

The middle-aged man sneered, thinking that his son was still too simple-minded and stupid.

"This thing is so profitable, do you think they don't want to know the recipe? Do you think they will bribe the officials when you are arrested, torture you severely, and force you to tell them the recipe?

At that time, you will die if you tell the truth, and you will die if you say nothing. So, little bastard, do you want to die or live?"

Fu Dongsheng was frightened by the scene his father described, and said in a daze: "I want to live, of course I want to live!"

The middle-aged man said angrily: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you leave now?"

Fu Dongsheng turned around and wanted to pack his bag, but then he shook his head violently, "No, Dad, we can't leave today."

"Why?" The middle-aged man looked at Fu Dongsheng in confusion. If he didn't even hurry to escape, he would be caught.

Fu Dongsheng sighed and said, "Today is the delivery date agreed upon by the Ghost Market and I. If we leave now, the Ghost Market will definitely find out that we have escaped very quickly."

The middle-aged man sighed again after hearing this, "So you have to go to the ghost market in the evening?"

Fu Dongsheng nodded, "We can only finish this job first, and then our family will run to the capital. Since we can't sell that thing to ordinary people, we can still sell it to powerful people."

The middle-aged man patted Fu Dongsheng on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I'll accompany you to Beijing when the time comes. By the way, how much are you going to sell to them this time?"

"We used to sell three bags at a time, but this time we'll change it to five bags. We need money to go to the capital." Fu Dongsheng said as he walked towards the side room where the gunpowder was stored.

And the invisible Xu Jinhuan just followed them silently.
