It was a rare trip back to the Daliang Dynasty, but Ye Zhou did not achieve his original goal, and Wu Yan and his wife still could not come back.
There is no need to stay for a week.
He arrived at Daliang Dynasty in the morning and had to return in the afternoon. Although he gained something, Ye Zhou still felt that it was a wasted trip.
The jade pendants and hairpins left by Zhao Kuo and Lin You were not cheap items, and were worth more than 200,000 yuan in total. But maybe Ye Zhou earned too much and had done business worth tens of millions, so he didn't care much.
"Back then, I was so poor that I even wanted to take Lin You's clothes off." Ye Zhou said to Zou Ming with a smile, "Now I don't even care about more than 300,000 yuan. I've become arrogant and inflated."
Zou Ming, who was sitting next to Ye Zhou and refilling his tea, was stunned. He raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes deep: "Take off your clothes?"
Ye Zhou didn't look at Zou Ming's expression, he still smiled: "We were poor back then, you don't know how valuable the things on Lin You are, it just shattered my worldview, it's almost as good as the high-end beauties in my plane."
As for the young masters of aristocratic families, everything they wear is exquisite, and in this era, it is even priceless, because no young master from aristocratic family would pawn his clothes, unless the family is in poverty. But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and no matter how poor, he probably would not pawn his clothes.
Ye Zhou: "The clothes of a young master from a noble family are so valuable. Tell me, if I meet the emperor and take off his dragon robe, will it be more valuable? Maybe a dragon robe can be worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions."
Ye Zhou leaned on the sofa and daydreamed: "I'm sure I can unlock something new."
"In fact, with the protective shield, I think it would be better if we could land in a more affluent place." Ye Zhou sighed, "But every time we jump, the landing point is deserted, except for the Luoyang Base."
It may also be because if you land in a deserted place at the Luoyang Base, there will really be no one there.
Even if the soldiers of the base go out, they will mark a range and will never search beyond this range.
Ye Zhou: "I don't know whether to say that the system is humane or inhumane."
Zou Ming: “Yes, there will be.”
Ye Zhou was confused: "What?"
Zou Ming pushed the refilled tea to Ye Zhou's hand: "It should land in a wealthy place later."
Ye Zhou took a sip of the tea and praised: "Every time you pour tea for me, the temperature is just right. I often burn my mouth when I pour it myself."
Zou Ming asked calmly: "Then I will make tea for you from now on?"
"No, no." Ye Zhou waved his hand quickly, "I only pay you one salary, how can I let you work two jobs?"
Zou Ming pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't cost any money, it's just a small matter."
Ye Zhou: "Hey, even though we are friends, we still have to keep things separate when it comes to work."
Ye Zhou patted Zou Ming's shoulder, sat up from the sofa, and was about to notify the employees to return to the supermarket, as they had to leave.
He turned on the computer and first looked at the time point of Minzil Continent. He did not adjust the time when he transferred to Daliang Dynasty, so he arrived twenty years later in an instant.
The system's time settings strictly abide by the law of conservation of time, and he cannot jump to a time point he has been to.
Nor can you go back to a time before he appeared.
Only backward, not forward.
Otherwise a time paradox will occur.
The system cannot solve this problem, so we eliminate it at the root.
The next time Ye Zhou comes, he can only jump to after this time.
But Ye Zhou didn’t think this was a problem. After all, he wouldn’t stay in one plane for long.
It seems that the plan to open a branch in Daliang Dynasty will have to be postponed.
One can be opened at Luoyang base. As long as Yang Guoqin is still the top leader of the base, the safety of the branch manager can be guaranteed.
Not only can it provide residents of the base with goods that are hard to come by in the apocalypse, but it can also create jobs.
Yang Guoqin is a smart man. It is much easier to deal with smart people. There is no need to worry about the other party being short-sighted.
After notifying his employees, Ye Zhou pressed the jump button. He would go to Luoyang Base after the matter on Minzel Continent was resolved. He had already selected the store manager on Minzel Continent and knew what was going on, so he was not in a hurry.
Chen Gang's family is pretty good. There are many people in the family, so they don't have to worry about Chen Gang not working hard. Moreover, they only have to pay Chen Gang a salary. The more he works, the more he earns. In addition, Chen Gang has many relatives in Luoyang Base, so he can barely be considered a local boss and is not afraid of being troubled by others.
He is not a bad person, maybe a little greedy, but not to the point of being bad.
Ye Zhou does not have a moral obsession and does not believe that people must be perfect.
The one who is perfect is a saint.
He couldn't do it himself, so he didn't force others to do it.
As long as the general direction is correct, that's enough.
This time he jumped exactly one week after he left.
The target amount in Minzel Continent has been earned, but the newly unlocked plane has not come out yet. Ye Zhou can only focus all his attention on solving Kane's identity.
Kane was the store manager he chose, but the biggest problem was that he was a slave, a runaway slave, and had no legal status.
If Ryan creates an identity for him, then after Ye Zhou leaves, once Ryan and the others find that they cannot gain any benefits, it is hard to say whether they will set their sights on opening a branch.
Ye Zhou doesn't want the people who work for him to die because of his negligence.
A noble identity can protect Kane very well. Killing Ryan is easy, but it is very troublesome to deal with the aftermath, so Ye Zhou gave the task to Kurt. His ultimate goal in doing all this is to let Kane get Ryan's identity and status.
As for Claire, once he proves Kane's identity, Ye Zhou cannot leave him as a hidden danger.
Only when Claire dies will Kane be truly safe. Claire has many children and it will take some time for them to inherit the title. This period of time is enough for Kane to consolidate his position.
If Kane can't do it...
Ye Zhou had no choice. The road had been paved for him, but he still couldn't do it. Ye Zhou could only wish him good luck.
·
The torch emitted a glow that flickered and jumped. Kurt hid in the darkness at the corner, his ear pressed against the wooden door, carefully listening to the movements in the house. A little light fell on the side of his face, making his face look particularly hideous.
Tonight was the time he and Claire agreed to take action.
Claire would put the venom extracted from the poisonous plants into the wine and coax Ryan into drinking it.
Even if Ryan was on guard against his uncle, he would not be too defensive.
Kurt listened to the conversation between Ryan and Claire. He held his breath involuntarily and imagined Ryan drinking the poisoned wine.
He didn't care about Ryan's life or death, he only cared about whether he could stick to the Moon Goddess.
As long as the Moon Goddess is around, he doesn't have to worry about his future, so no matter what happens, he has to do it for the Moon Goddess.
Inside the house, Claire was holding an iron wine jug and urging people to drink with a smile on his face. He said with a smile, "This is the wine that His Majesty the King gave me. It's better than ordinary wine. Would you like to try it?"
Ryan didn't know the murderous intent hidden in these words. He had already drunk a lot of the wine he bought from the merchant. His face flushed as he said, "Your Majesty has given me wine...Uncle, I haven't seen His Majesty yet..."
Claire's smile was particularly kind: "With Lord Moon God here, what does the king matter?"
Ryan burped, knocked the glass from Claire's hand, raised one hand and shouted, "What's the king!"
After shouting, he brought the glass to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.
Claire sat next to Ryan, his eyes sharp and a smile on his lips.
Ryan put down his wine glass, supported himself on the table with both hands, and tried to stand up dizzily.
But before he could stand up straight, he suddenly saw stars and sat back down. He felt a sharp pain in his stomach and his whole body was instantly soaked in sweat. He could not sit still and rolled to the side. With a "bang", Ryan fell to the ground.
He curled up like a shrimp, holding his stomach with both hands, and shouted with difficulty: "Uncle, uncle..."
Claire walked over to Ryan and squatted down. He looked at his nephew and couldn't remember what his sister looked like.
She died too early, and in his memory, she was only a vague shadow.
But when she was alive, their relationship seemed pretty good.
But Claire couldn't remember. He had so many brothers and sisters that it was a luxury to remember them all.
He actually didn't have many memories about his nephew. The last time they met seemed to be when Ryan was an adult.
Even when Ryan got married, he didn't come in person because of the king's banquet.
Claire stared at Ryan's face. Ryan finally realized something and shouted with all his might: "Carl...Carl...save me..."
But his voice was hoarse, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't call anyone outside.
The servants were all sent away by Claire.
Ryan used his hands and feet to crawl towards the door like a turtle. He crawled with difficulty and white foam kept coming out of the corners of his mouth.
Claire didn't stop him, but watched him climb out quietly.
It wasn't until Ryan's hand was about to touch the door that Claire stepped on Ryan's back.
Ryan, who had exhausted all his strength, was stepped on by Claire. He didn't even have the extra strength to struggle. He could only ask in a hoarse voice: "Why...why..."
Claire leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Don't treat your uncle as a fool. Did I spend so much money just for you to stand up in front of Lord Luna alone?"
Ryan's eyes slowly widened and his pupils began to dilate.
No one knows whether he heard why he died in the last moments of his life.
Claire stood up again and looked down at Ryan's body. He felt a little regretful at that moment, but quickly put the regret behind him.
If you want immortality, you always have to pay a price. Property is a price, and Ryan's life is also a price.
Claire opened the door.
Kurt, who was standing outside, smiled at Claire and said, "Now you are the one who worships the Moon God."
Claire: "Ryan's funeral has to be held soon."
Kurt shook his head slightly: "Lian died of poisoning. Once discovered, it will definitely be traced to you. Moreover, Ryan has no children and no heirs. This land will be taken away by His Majesty."
Claire doesn't think the former is a problem, but the latter is a problem.
Claire frowned: "He doesn't have any children?"
Kurt whispered, "Only illegitimate children, but he never kept the illegitimate children, and no one knows where they are now."
Moreover, illegitimate children cannot inherit the title unless Ryan's wife is willing to acknowledge the child. However, because this place is too poor, Ryan's wife returned to her parents' home within two years of marriage. She already had a lover and it was impossible for her to come back.
Claire: "Then find someone."
Kurt: "What do you think of that angel?"
Claire was stunned. He looked at Kurt in shock: "God's messenger?!"
Kurt nodded slightly and whispered, "This piece of land should belong to Lord Moon God, but Lord Moon God will not be here every day. On the contrary, the Lord Messenger of God should stay here all the time. Giving this piece of land to him is equivalent to dedicating it to Lord Moon God."
"If you offer the land, the Moon God will remember you. Besides, you won't lose anything."
If he didn't give it to Kane, Claire wouldn't be able to take over the land himself, especially since it was so poor. Why would he take it over? He would have to send someone to manage it.
Claire thought about it and felt that Kurt was right.
Kurt: "Anyway, Lord Ryan rarely leaves the territory, and few people outside know what he looks like..."
Claire understood what Kurt meant. He thought for a while and said calmly, "I understand. I will tell the envoy of God next time I go up the mountain."
As long as Lord Moon God can remember him and know his dedication, he will be satisfied.
The two looked at each other. Claire said, "I'll have Ryan's body dealt with, and I'll also shut up the servants here."
Ryan has been here for so long, he must have a few loyal servants around him. Claire: "If Lord Moon God wants to talk to you next time..."
Kurt said quickly: "I know what I should say."
Kurt turned his head and looked at Ryan's body. At this moment, he looked like a mountain of flesh, and there was no trace of his former majestic appearance.
Watching people of higher status than himself fall into misfortune and die gave Kurt a secret pleasure.
You were born nobler than me, so what? I am still alive, but you are dead, and you died at the hands of your own relatives.
Kurt didn't look at Ryan again. He walked out of the room and looked at the sky outside.
There is no moon tonight.
Lord Moon Goddess shouldn’t be able to see it, right?
Kurt smiled and walked out.
·
When Kane heard the news of Ryan's death from Kurt, he was not shocked at all. He nodded calmly and said to Kurt: "Lord Moon God will know your loyalty."
Kurt was always a little flattering in front of Kane. He smiled and said, "As long as you remember it."
Kurt looked at the farmland behind him, at the "free people" watering the fields, and asked in confusion: "Are you really going to stay here and take care of these slaves?"
Kane corrected him: "They are not slaves now."
Kurt said quickly: "Yes, yes, I forgot, they are free people now."
Kane then said: "This is the task that Lord Moon God has assigned to me. Only if I do well can I go to the temple after death."
This is the statement Kane came up with himself - he is not a real messenger of God, he will grow old and die, and he is worried that once he starts to grow old, Claire and the others will attack him.
Claire dared to kill Ryan, a nobleman, so doesn't she dare to kill him?
Kurt was stunned: "Will you...get older?"
Kane: "Of course. When we are alive, we are under the control of the Sun God, and after we die, we are under the control of the Moon God."
Kurt was stunned for two seconds, then he sighed. It seemed that there was no hope while he was alive.
But he thought again, it was only a few decades of time, and decades of dedication in exchange for immortality was still a good deal.
After watching Kurt leave, Kane let out a long sigh. During this week, all the civilians under his charge had worked diligently, and no one had slacked off - maybe someone had slacked off, but before Kane could scold them, the civilians had resolved the issue among themselves.
No one wants to lose their current life, so never let anyone pose a threat.
Kane occasionally saw people working with bruised faces and noses, probably because they were taught a lesson in private by others.
Thinking of this, Kane couldn't help but smile.
There was a time when he hated the slaves who worked with him more than the nobles. He even felt that they were no different from livestock, who only knew how to eat, sleep, and work under the whip.
But now, looking at it from a different atmosphere and environment, I find these people are actually not that annoying.
It’s just… in the environment like before, no one could become cute.
"Sir!" Someone noticed that Kane was looking at them, straightened up and waved at Kane.
Kane smiled and said, "Work hard!"
They now sleep in a wooden house. Apart from raising chickens and ducks, they usually carve statues of the Moon Goddess. As they lack tools, they can only carve with wood, not stone.
Kane felt that although wood was not as good as stone, he could always buy tools to carve stone later.
There were also craftsmen among the civilians. Most of them were turned into slaves by the lords after making mistakes. Although they had not worked for many years, their skills had not changed. Kane told them in detail what Lord Moon God looked like.
The other party used charcoal to outline on the wooden board. Although it was not exactly the same, it was about 70% similar. Kane felt that 70% was enough.
After all, the craftsmen who can draw a very similar picture should all be in the royal city now.
Kane knew clearly what Lord Moon God wanted him to do.
Perhaps he would never be able to change the world in his entire life, and would never be able to free all slaves and turn them into free people.
But at least he could plant a seed.
This seed will sprout one day and grow into a towering tree.
Kane looked toward the horizon.
It wasn't the seeds he planted.
Perhaps, he is that seed, and the Moon God chose him and selected a piece of land for him.
Kane took a deep breath, rolled up his trouser legs, picked up the bucket, and walked into the field.
His feet touched the ground and all the thoughts in his mind calmed down.
There wasn't much he could do. He was only one person with a pair of hands, and there was only one thing he could do - to do well the task that Lord Moon God had given him.
This life was picked up by him and given to him by Lady Moon Goddess. He cannot let it down easily.
·
The first thing Ye Zhou did after returning to Minzel Continent was to rush to the cliff. He set the time of return to two days before the agreed time and spent these two days on the journey.
As soon as the supermarket was moved, Ye Zhou immediately took his men out.
Because Chen Shu didn't have a strong desire to leave the supermarket, Ye Zhou brought Zou Ming, Sarah and Zhou Yuanhe with him this time.
It is better to keep Doctor Zhou Yuanhe with you at all times so that you can provide immediate treatment in case of any accident.
This time he did not go directly to Kane, but asked Sarah to go to the stone house to find Kurt.
Ye Zhou wants to know Ryan's current situation.
Dead or alive?
When Ye Zhou warned Sarah, Sarah shrugged: "He must be dead."
"Boss, you don't know what people can become in the face of interests."
Ye Zhou, Zou Ming and others were waiting in the woods. This time, Sarah didn't even knock on the door, but directly climbed over the wall and entered the stone house.
When she entered, she happened to see the servant guarding the door, and she smiled at him in a friendly manner.
The butler didn't dare to stop her, let alone remind her to knock on the door next time. He just watched her walk in as if no one was around.
Sarah stood at the door and sniffed, quickly found the direction, and walked towards the depth of the corridor.
When the servants saw her, they all stepped aside and waited until she had passed before resuming their work.
Sarah stopped in front of a room door and pushed it open without any courtesy. Sure enough, it was Kurt sitting in the room.
Kurt stood up with a start the moment the door was pushed open.
He had never dealt with Sarah, but he knew that Sarah must be more difficult to deal with than Kane - she didn't look like someone who could be easily fooled.
"Your Excellency the Messenger of God..." Kurt bowed respectfully.
Sarah walked straight to where Kurt had just sat and sat down. She picked up the parchment on the table, read it quickly, and then asked, "Is Ryan dead?"
Kurt quickly said, "He's dead. Claire did it."
He boasted: "But I was the one who gave the poison."
Sarah nodded: "When will Kane's identity be confirmed?"
Kurt: "Just these few days, just these few days."
Sarah put down the parchment in her hand: "When is Claire leaving?"
Kurt whispered, "He probably won't leave. He finally killed Ryan and is going to take over Ryan's service to Lord Moon God. He is a duke, so he must be able to bring out more..."
Sarah glanced at Kurt, her bright red pupils were particularly attractive, and she kissed his lips: "Once Kane's identity is confirmed, Claire will be useless. He can't die here. If he dies here, Kane will be discovered."
"It will become very troublesome later. Lady Moon God doesn't have time to deal with so many troubles." Sarah tapped the table with her fingers. "You have to find a way to persuade him to go back and let him die in his own territory."
Kurt was a little nervous: "None of my poisons can wait that long to take effect."
Sarah rolled her eyes. “That’s your business.”
After that, Sarah threw something to Kurt, who caught it in a panic. Before he looked down to see what was in his hand, he heard Sarah say, "You have to understand what Lord Moon God values about you."
“Some things you can do, others can do too.”
“You have to do what others can’t do.”
Sarah smiled and said, "I am now over 400 years old."
“How old do you want to live to?”
Kurt's pupils shrank slightly, and he couldn't help but gasp.
He whispered, "I can do this."
At this moment, he felt that he could do anything.
