Chapter 75: Two Tails Following Behind
Chen Guanlou bluffed, and Du Fuzi was also excited, starting to fantasize about the old tree sprouting new buds.
Chen Guanlou also promised him that after this business was on the right track, Du Fuzi could call his eldest son from his hometown to help and earn a sum of silver. The capital is large, with many people and many rich people, which means many opportunities. Relying on the Hou Fu, as long as you dare to do it, don't worry about not making money.
The Hou Fu is the biggest backer, and the Heavenly Prison is the biggest treasure.
"I heard that the second young mistress has a jewelry shop under her name, which also does recycling business. When the time comes, I will find Liu Guanshi, maybe I can open another business route."
Can't just think about isolated copies and antiques, after all, not every official has insight or hobbies in this regard. Most families prefer to hide gold and silver, and women like to buy gold and silver jewelry.
"The second young mistress's side, it needs to be slowed down, don't be impatient. Now the first branch and the second branch are still harmonious on the surface, but they are fighting endlessly in private. We are taking the Eldest Master's path, and if we are involved with the second branch, I am afraid it will anger the Eldest Master. Offending the second young mistress, at most suffer a little bit. Offending the Eldest Master, you will be unlucky. You listen to me, don't be greedy."
Du Fuzi was not dizzy by Chen Guanlou's bragging, and still maintained basic sobriety. He was the Eldest Master's person, and he couldn't do anything to betray the Eldest Master, spreading it out is betraying the master.
Other things don't matter.
Once you bear the name of betraying the master, your future is over. No noble family will use a person who betrays the master. Following the master to be unlucky, and not changing the family in the middle, people respect you for your good character, and maybe they are willing to give a chance. People who betray the master, even if they are talented, will be disliked, and don't think about having a second chance.
"Many thanks to Du Fuzi for the reminder, this matter really can't be rushed. We must first stick to the Eldest Master's side. If it really doesn't work, I will find another way. In short, in the future, I and Fuzi will make money together and drink together. As long as Fuzi doesn't dislike me for being shallow."
"You, you are just too modest. If you can go to a proper yamen to serve, with your ability, sooner or later there will be a day of success. It is countless times better than the Heavenly Prison. But you, don't listen to persuasion, just determined the Heavenly Prison. I don't know what is good about the Heavenly Prison."
Du Fuzi shook his head repeatedly, he thought for a long time and couldn't understand.
Chen Guanlou laughed, how does the world know the significance of the Heavenly Prison to him. He doesn't need to explain the reason to anyone.
"Drink, drink!" He quickly changed the subject, no longer discussing the Heavenly Prison, only thinking about the future.
Taking advantage of the day of rest, early in the morning, when the sky was just bright, Chen Guanlou disguised himself and went out, carrying incense, candles, and paper money to burn paper for Luo Jingtian outside the city, thanking the other party for the treasure "Ascension Record" left to him.
Although it was just a transaction, in his heart, what Luo Jingtian left him was far better than the content of the transaction. He is a person who keeps his promises, and even more a person who repays kindness, this is a matter of principle of being a person.
Out of the city, walked another twenty miles, before arriving at the burial place.
The place is far enough and remote enough, and there is no one around. The Luo family chose such a place to bury Luo Jingtian, thinking that what they wanted was the surrounding environment, not attracting people's dislike, and not worrying about anyone taking a fancy to this remote land and wanting to forcibly circle the land to move the grave.
Light incense and candles, light paper money.
"Old Luo, dust returns to dust, soil returns to soil, you take the money and hurry up to bribe the King of Hell, striving to be reborn in the next life. Maybe there will be a chance to meet again in the future. I won't necessarily come again, so I will burn more for you this time. You don't make a sound, I will treat it as you received it."
After burning the paper, waiting for the fire to go out, he set off down the mountain and walked all the way back to the capital.
On the way back to the city, there were two more tails behind him, wearing bamboo hats, unable to see their faces, a look of people in the rivers and lakes.
Look at the surrounding environment, there is no one around, the surrounding woods are dense, it is really a good place to kill and bury the corpse.
He stopped, turned his head, and looked at the two tails.
"Why follow this old man?" This time, he was dressed as an old man in his fifties, even the clothes on his body were patched. The clothes were bought from a clothing store, as long as he made a request, the clerk of the clothing store could satisfy him.
"Hand over the things." The two tails, in their prime, and both were Second-Rank martial artists, no wonder they were fierce and evil as soon as they opened their mouths, and their tone was threatening.
Second-Rank martial artist, facing an ordinary old man, naturally has the qualification to be arrogant.
Chen Guanlou was very puzzled. "What things?"
"Don't pretend to be garlic."
"Luo Jingtian's things, hand them over."
"I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Old man, don't be ignorant of good and evil. We have been guarding Luo Jingtian's grave for nearly a month, and you are the first person to visit his grave. His things must be in your hands. Hand them over, and we will give you a happy one. Otherwise, don't blame the sword in my hand for not blinking when killing."
Very arrogant!
Chen Guanlou tilted his head and thought carefully. "I don't know what you are talking about. I don't have Luo Jingtian's things in my hands."
"Still pretending to be confused when death is imminent. The Luo family doesn't have it, if it's not in your hands, where is it."
"Luo Jingtian lied to us and swallowed the things privately. It's a pity that we were a step late, letting him die in the hands of the imperial executioner. You are the only person who visited his grave, your friendship with him must be unusual. You had better be sensible."
"Really don't understand what you are talking about." Chen Guanlou was still that sentence, no, nothing at all. Wanting him to admit that he took Luo Jingtian's last property, dream on.
"Stop talking nonsense with him, do it directly, let him know a little bit of good and evil."
The two tails raised their swords to kill.
Chen Guanlou's sword came out of the sheath.
He was not afraid at all! Even deep in his heart, a strong sense of excitement arose, fighting two Second-Rank martial artists at once, come, come, come more fiercely.
Sword out of sheath!
Sword light and sword shadow!
Three moves!
Tail A died on the spot, a thin line crossed his heart, and with a bang, he fell to the ground, completely out of breath.
Tail B couldn't believe it, his face was panicked, shocked, astonished, and so on.
He looked at his companion's corpse on the ground, then looked at Chen Guanlou, and screamed: "Luo Jingtian's things really fell into your hands."
"You guys kept mentioning things, things, but never said what exactly. Now, there are only two of us left, can you tell this old man, what exactly are you looking for?"
He approached step by step, Tail B retreated step by step, his expression changing unpredictably. "Kill if you want to kill. Now that it's like this, you still want to pretend to be garlic and play with people?"
Chen Guanlou was very innocent. "I really don't understand, not playing with people."
He looked very sincere, but the other party clearly didn't believe him.
The other party smiled bitterly, sarcastically: "You have no martial pulse, but you have top-tier internal energy cultivation methods, and you still dare to argue. Liar! If it weren't for the things Luo Jingtian left you, I could kill you with one sword."
"To tell you the truth, Luo Jingtian gave me a sum of silver, asking me to collect his corpse and burn paper for him after he died. As for my martial arts, haven't you heard of hidden pulse?"
"Hidden pulse hasn't appeared in ten years, how could you be a hidden pulse. You can't hide it from me." Tail B was almost on the verge of collapse, he didn't believe it, absolutely didn't believe it. ===== CHAPTER 76 =====
