Chapter 107 Darkness. (Special thanks to Hou Jingua for the reward)
Longjiang Prefecture, Chen family mansion.
The Chen family mansion, covering dozens of acres, is the most prominent one in the entire Longjiang Prefecture.
The rockery, flowing water, waterside pavilions and terraces inside are all exquisite and beautiful.
The Chen family in Longjiang Prefecture is known among the people as having white jade in the hall and gold in the horses, and pearls as plentiful as dirt and gold as hard as iron.
After hundreds of years of hard work, the entire city of Longjiang Prefecture is stamped with the imprint of the Chen family.
If you want to do some business in Longjiang Prefecture, but have not visited the Chen family's wharf, then forget it, you will not be able to do it at all.
Every year, countless bodies are sunk to the bottom of the Longjiang River because of people's unwillingness to believe in evil.
Butcher shops, farms, fresh food, stores, carriage and horse businesses, private schools, brothels, martial arts schools, the Chen family basically has shares in all the visible and invisible industries in Longjiang Prefecture.
So to speak.
What is inheritance of wealth?
It’s not about how much gold, silver and jewelry the family has, but about the monopoly.
Monopoly of resources, monopoly of knowledge, monopoly of upward channels.
If a more outstanding challenger appears within the jurisdiction, it will be easy to deal with.
Eight words.
Treat him to a meal, behead him, and take him as a dog.
If there are outstanding people from other families who can be absorbed, they will be absorbed by marrying off their concubines.
After two or three generations, they become a family.
Those that cannot be absorbed will sink into the river.
In this world, it is normal to have some evil things happening.
This is the way the world is, some people are treated like slaves, while others enjoy power.
Lao Tzu once said, "The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus to make up for the deficiency, and the way of man is to reduce the deficiency to serve the surplus."
The New Testament Matthew also wrote:
For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever has not, even what he has shall be taken away from him.
Inside the magnificent mansion, the ancestor of the Chen family, dressed in gorgeous clothes, tapped out the rhythm while listening to three beautiful girls in light gauze dancing for him.
In front of his table, there was a large table of fine wine and delicious food.
These are the fine wines and delicacies that others cannot even imagine.
There are two kinds of fine wine. One is the grape wine shipped from the Caliphate Dynasty, which is 26,000 miles away from the Dai Viet Dynasty, and is served in a luminous cup.
One is a liquor called Shenxianzui, which is more valuable than gold and served in a rhino horn cup.
As for the most common dish on the table, it is fried chicken tongue.
Only one tongue is used from a chicken, and it takes 300 chickens to make a plate of fried chicken tongues.
Preserved fruits have no place on this table.
This shows the wealth of the Chen family.
The ancestor of the Chen family, Chen Fuyun, has three good things: good wine, good food, and good beautiful women.
He closed his eyes, listening to the soft singing of the beauty beside him. His expression was leisurely, but yet there was a hint of deep-hidden bitterness.
After the beauties finished singing a song, they all came to the table with light lotus steps, some picked up dishes, some peeled grapes, and some served wine from the wine cups.
"Master, why do you seem a little depressed? Shishi, An'an and Xiangxiang are all heartbroken seeing you."
A beautiful woman with icy skin and graceful figure put a grape into Chen Fuyun's mouth and said with a distressed tone.
Chen Fuyun deliberately licked the beauty's jade-like index finger, suppressed the bitterness, and laughed:
"Master has basically gotten everything he wanted, wanted to eat, and wanted to taste in his life. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?"
He embraced several beauties in gauze, sang loudly to the beat of the rhythm:
"Teachers and students are beautiful"
"Xiangxiang has a lot of feelings for me"
"An An which one is longer than He"
"Four into one"
"Fortunately, I was in a hurry and didn't pay"
“New words take a lot of work to write”
"I wrote it several times and then moved it again"
"I am in the middle of the word 'traitor'"
Just when Chen Fuyun was getting wild with beastly intent and was thinking about fighting the three beauties as one, the door suddenly opened, a gust of evil wind blew in, and all three beauties fainted on the ground.
Chen Fuyun stood up suddenly and saw an old man with gray hair and black clothes walking in from the outside.
That was his old butler.
However, Chen Fuyun knew that the old butler at this time was no longer himself.
"Chen Daoyou is so talented."
"But it's a pity, are you really not dissatisfied with anything?"
The sound of a broken saw pulling on the bottom of a pot came from deep in the old butler's throat.
"Where did you come from, master? You come to tease me, Chen? If you have any inconvenience, please speak up. My Chen family is one of the nine great families of Dayue. Although my Longjiang Prefecture is only a small branch of the Chen family, it still has some power."
Chen Fuyun immediately pointed out his background and spoke half-hard and half-softly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"I am Youquanzi from the Huangquan Sect. I have come to make a deal with Fellow Daoist Chen to save your life." Youquanzi's voice sounded again.
"What a joke! I am healthy and well, so why would I need you to save my life? Youquanzi should be worried about the retaliation from the Zhen'an Division."
"Of course it's because you don't have much time left. What I said is both true and false."
After hearing Youquanzi's words, Chen Fuyun was like a duck with its throat locked. He was silent for a long time, as if someone was holding his vital points.
After a long while, he finally said, "Why did you save me, fellow Taoist?"
"I have four Ming Yuan Dan made with Ming Yuan Fruit as the main ingredient. Each pill can increase your lifespan by five years."
"If I take four pills, even if the efficacy of the medicine is reduced, I can at least live 15 more years."
"Fellow Daoist has been stuck in the late stage of Qi Refining and Spiritual Transformation for a long time. If you can get the help of the Nether Yuan Pill, you can make great progress in the next fifteen years, break through the barriers, and prolong your life."
"Fellow Daoist, do you think this can save you?"
Chen Fuyun's face flushed red, his eyes full of desire, he suppressed his voice and said hoarsely: "What's the price?"
"I want to perform a blood sacrifice at your Chen Mansion. Fellow Daoist, please cover for me. Two thousand people in exchange for one Ming Yuan Dan. Help me get the people here. Once the number of people is reached, I will send someone to give you a Ming Yuan Dan. How do you think?"
"Although I, Youquanzi, am ruthless in the cultivation world, I have never broken my promise. I think you know this, and I don't want to offend the head of your Chen family."
"Impossible! The Zhen'an Division is keeping such a close eye on me, how could I possibly get so many people to sacrifice their blood for you?"
"At most, 1,200 people can be exchanged for one. I can still think of a way." Chen Fuyun's eyes were red, and he roared with almost all his strength.
He hardly hesitated whether to change it or not, but started bargaining directly.
Only those who have enjoyed all the good things in the world will be extremely afraid of death.
He didn't have any extravagant hopes of breaking through, but if he could use thousands of untouchables to extend his life by fifteen years, it would be a great deal.
It is also the glory of those untouchables.
Youquanzi was silent for a moment. This head of the Chen family was easier to control than he had imagined. He specifically mentioned the price of two thousand just to allow him to bargain, but in the end the price was 20% more than his psychological price.
In order to express his embarrassment, he hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Okay, I will make friends with you."
"One thousand and two for one, then one thousand and two for one."
Youquanzi was not worried at all about how the head of the Chen family would deal with people. The aristocratic families had many slaves and tenants, and hiding the population was even more of a traditional art.
If you don’t have hundreds or thousands of illegal residents, do you have the nerve to call yourself a big family?
It might be difficult for Huang Quan to teach them how to trick people and perform a secret blood sacrifice, but for the Chen family, whose imprint is spread throughout the Longjiang Prefecture, it is not that difficult and can be achieved with some effort.
Carriage and horse racing companies, tenants, brothels, gambling dens, pawnbrokers, slaves, and even orphanages.
After finalizing some details with Patriarch Chen, Youquanzi disappeared in a puff of black smoke. The old butler collapsed to the ground. What came to meet Patriarch Chen was just a wisp of his spiritual consciousness that resided in the secret method.
In the afternoon, Yi Chen led his men to plow the entire South City again, which made Yi Chen both pleased and regretful.
It seemed like the evil spirit had given up on causing trouble in his South City district.
He wandered around all day and caught an unlucky guy who got ten deep red points.
I opened the backstage and found the golden legend unexpectedly! Suddenly I found that the big boss Hou Jingua gave me 10,000 points, so I would like to express my special thanks.
