Chapter 136 Getting Rich
The man with the machete was persistently asking Lu Chaofeng for money.
"Master Lu, you can't go back on your word! Since I took you to see the things, don't you have to give me a good price?"
"This is not yours in the first place. Even if I give this money, it is to the people who have been poisoned by you!"
"But we brought this technology. Without us, how would they know how to make salt?"
"Technology?" Lu Chaofeng raised his eyelids and took advantage of the light from the torch to glance at him through the smoke that had not yet completely dissipated.
The man with the machete puffed out his chest and raised his head high!
“That’s right!”
“These are the techniques we bring to teach them.”
"Who are you to the Qin family?" Lu Chaofeng's voice was unconsciously tinged with frost, and his slender fingers clenched his weapon.
"What do you care who I am?! Anyway, just give me the money and I'll take these brothers away. It's all good for both of us."
Lu Chaofeng started fighting as soon as they disagreed.
The man with the machete was unable to dodge and suffered a loss.
Su Chengnan covered his mouth with his hands, dodged, and leaned his back against a big tree, paying close attention to their movements.
"Hey, Lu Chaofeng! Why are you so dishonest?"
"You poisoned the people of Yujia Village, pulled out their tongues, forced them to work during the day, and locked them up in the mountains at night. Look at how many bones are buried in the back mountain!"
"How can I talk about integrity with people like you?! Do you have integrity?!"
"Why not?" The man with the machete became excited.
"If I hadn't protected them in the mountains over the past few years, they would have been killed by those bastards living in the village long ago."
"Do you really think they are from Yujia Village? Humph."
"I'm telling you! The people of Yujia Village were all killed by the people sent by the Qin family! The ones who came after were all the people they kidnapped, deceived, and robbed from the area within a hundred miles!"
"If their tongues are not removed, who would dare to employ them? It's already good enough to keep them alive!"
"You guys made such a big noise in the village, do you think we couldn't hear it from the mountain? We are not deaf, we just don't want to care at all, and even want to applaud!"
"Those bastards! They deserve to die!"
“Damn it!”
Neither Lu Chaofeng nor Su Chengnan were the type to trust others easily. They both doubted him, one openly and one secretly.
After observing for a moment, Lu Chaofeng interrupted him in a deep voice: "Your words are no longer valid, so just forget it."
But the man still refused to give in.
"Master Lu, my brothers and I are not liked by the Qin family. Once they know about the situation in Yuqing Village, we will be doomed. So we can't go to Jiangnan. I guess we can only hide our identities for the rest of our lives. Please leave us a way to survive."
"You chose your own path. Since you chose to be accomplices to the evil, you should have expected this day to come."
"The Qin family saved us back then, so we helped them. But in recent years, they have been acting more and more outrageous. We don't want to do it anymore, but it's too late."
"The legs are on you, so you won't run away?"
"The rules of the underworld are that family members should not be harmed! But they don't care about that at all. A few days ago, I had a duel with those bastards, and they lost. They were desperate and wanted to provoke me, so they let it slip that our family members had been slaughtered a long time ago."
"I&@#￥％!￥％"
"Please be kind, my Lord. I don't need to live anymore, but if all the money my brothers send to their families is equivalent to returning it to the Qin family, I want to get some money for them."
He clasped his hands together and bowed to Lu Chaofeng seriously.
Lu Chaofeng was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "I will trust you for once, but I don't have any money, but I can show you a way."
"this……"
"It's up to you whether you want to listen or not."
"Please speak frankly, my lord."
"Join the army! You can come with me. I will use poison to seal your internal strength. If you dare to go to the battlefield, I will forgive you for your past mistakes."
"Are you serious?"
"really."
"Okay, I, Hu Lao San, am willing to serve the prince."
"No, you are not doing this for me, you are doing this for the millions of people of Dayong! Now that war is raging everywhere, if the country is gone, how can we call home? I hope you, the people of Jianghu, can still have a conscience and be a person who is truly worthy of heaven and earth."
"Yes!" He knelt on one knee, completely convinced.
Lu Chaofeng's tone softened a little. "Although we don't have money, don't worry. The Beining Army and the Ningyuan Palace never mistreat the soldiers and civilians. We will still make sure you have enough to eat."
"That's good, that's good! Thank you, Prince."
After they finished talking, they went down the mountain.
Only after Su Chengnan and the others had completely walked away did he quietly and quickly run to the cellar. She shone a powerful flashlight inside.
"Wow?! Lu Chaofeng really made a fortune!"
"He eats meat, so I have to drink some soup too, right?"
Su Chengnan went down the stairs and looked around carefully. There were about a hundred bags of contraband salt.
But she found it strange because the output of the sun-dried salt method was very high, and since she had come all the way from the capital, the Yong Kingdom had been in turmoil for a long time. There should be no transportation in these two months. No matter what, there shouldn't be only this much.
There must be a problem.
Where is it hiding?
The mountain is so big that if you want to store the salt in the mountain, you should still consider the principle of proximity.
Not giving up, she used a flashlight to search the cellar carefully, then climbed out and searched the surrounding area.
Good job!
Sure enough, she discovered the problem under the monument.
There is a very small circular mark in the lower left corner of the inscription, which is the mark of Mohism.
Is there a mechanism built by the Mohist people here?
Su Chengnan walked around the inscription, checked it carefully from top to bottom, and carefully searched through the original body's memory for a long time.
Finally, I found an inconspicuous switch under a tree stump near the inscription!
She raised her foot and pressed it down hard.
Bang——
A stone door slowly opened from the ground behind the inscription.
Another cellar!
She raised the flashlight and shone it inside, then took a tissue from the space, lit it and threw it down.
There's air, no problem.
She put on her gas mask and went down again.
“Hahahahahahaha—”
"It's her turn to get rich this time!"
Thousands of bags of illegal salt were neatly stacked.
Opposite the salt bags, there are a lot of precious seafood, such as dried abalone and sea cucumbers. They are all valuable goods and there is not a single cheap one!
What are you waiting for!
Collect it!
Collect them all into the space, leaving nothing behind!
"Hey, that's not right!"
"If we don't leave anything behind, Lu Chaofeng might not be able to find it. Maybe the man just now knew about this place. Did he deliberately take Lu Chaofeng to see the small cellar?"
When Su Chengnan thought of this, he still felt conscientious and kind enough to leave a part of it.
Then keep two hundred bags of salt and ten bags of dried abalone.
Hey, I'm such a good person.
