Chapter 812: Seriously underestimated the strength of the Marquis Prefecture
Seeing that Chen Guanlou wouldn't tell the truth, the big steward expressed that he was powerless to help; even the landlord's family had no surplus food.
Chen Guanlou rolled his eyes to the sky, and the other party remained unmoved.
Having no choice, he could only reveal two words of truth. "There is an enemy who is very powerful, and I plan to find an opportunity to kill him. I'm afraid of the unexpected, so I'm preparing in advance."
If this were a lie, it would definitely be guilty. If it were true, it would indeed be very true. It's just that the key content wasn't explained at all.
"What kind of enemy, with your cultivation, still needs to prepare these medicinal materials? These medicinal materials are not commonly used, they are poisonous." The big steward was indeed knowledgeable, pointing out the truth in one word.
"In short, don't ask anymore, the enemy's background is a bit big. Just say whether you help me or not."
"This old man is willing to help you, but you should at least reveal a few words of truth. You must be clear that these medicinal materials cannot be bought with money. Without some connections and face, you wouldn't even know where to find them."
"You are absolutely right. That's why I didn't go to ask the medicine shop, but came directly to you. You must help me."
"First tell me what kind of enemy, can the Marquis Prefecture come forward to mediate for you."
"Cannot mediate! Either I die, or he dies!" Chen Guanlou spoke with decisive force. "This is life-saving stuff. You can't watch me get killed by someone."
"Is it that serious?" The big steward frowned, appearing very worried. Many names flashed through his mind, and he went through everyone who could be ranked in the capital.
"Just say, are there these medicinal materials?"
"The Marquis Prefecture doesn't have them, but the Marquis Prefecture can help you get them."
"Many thanks, big steward. How much money is needed."
"It's not a question of money, but face. People are willing to sell the Marquis Prefecture a face, so they are willing to sell the medicinal materials in their hands. You prepare three or five thousand taels first, more to be returned and less to be supplemented."
Chen Guanlou:...
Since ancient times, people who engage in medicine have never been poor; this statement is reasonable.
The silver given by Zhang Daohe, in the blink of an eye, went one-third; this business lost money!
But he still decisively took out the silver notes and handed them to the big steward, asking the big steward to prepare the medicinal materials as soon as possible, as he was in a hurry.
The big steward was still pondering who he had formed an enmity with.
He definitely wouldn't tell the truth. He knew the Marquis Prefecture must have a way to help him, but he wanted to take revenge with his own hands even more, to kill Zhou Mobai, that irritable man, with his own hands.
Taking his mental cultivation secret manual and still wanting to kill. A thing that should be cut into a thousand pieces, sooner or later will go into fire and demon, and die without a burial place. And Wei Wubing, the same kind of goods as Zhou Mobai.
After saying goodbye to the big steward, the next step is to wait peacefully.
There is still a period of time before the fifteenth of the eighth month, and he still needs a handy weapon. Looking for a blacksmith shop is useless; the blacksmith shop has no materials and lacks technology, and cannot forge top-grade weapons.
He simply found the heir, Chen Guanfu.
The Marquis Prefecture started with meritorious service, so it definitely doesn't lack weapons.
"I want a handy knife, do you have one?"
"Are you going to fight with someone?" Chen Guanfu sat in the office of the Ministry of Works, drinking tea, his days were idle, just missing a newspaper.
Chen Guanlou came to the Ministry of Works office for the first time, and both sides were quite curious.
"I have this plan!" He admitted generously.
"I heard from the big steward that you ordered a batch of medicinal materials, all famous and rare medicinal materials, worth a lot of money. Now you are asking me for a handy weapon. It seems that you have indeed provoked an enemy with a big background. Do you need help?"
"For now, I can handle it alone. Just say, do you have a handy weapon?"
"Yes! After work, you go with me to the Marquis Prefecture, and pick one from the warehouse yourself. However, I still want to remind you, you are surnamed Chen; if you encounter trouble, you don't have to carry it alone. Just say a word, and the Marquis Prefecture will solve it for you."
"Private grudge, it's not appropriate for the Marquis Prefecture to come forward." Chen Guanlou politely refused.
Chen Guanfu raised his eyebrows slightly. "I always feel that you have seriously underestimated the influence and strength of the Marquis Prefecture. In your eyes, the Marquis Prefecture is just a noble family with some power, some money, and some people, right?"
"Otherwise?" Chen Guanlou asked back. In fact, he himself wasn't sure. In the capital for many years, there are too many dignitaries, and it is inevitable to ignore the Marquis Prefecture. But once out of the capital, as long as the Marquis Prefecture's signboard is shown, it is unobstructed. He had personally experienced it once.
How much influence and how strong the strength is, he indeed lacks a bit of intuitive cognition.
Chen Guanfu sneered. "That enemy of yours, why not report his name, perhaps I can solve it for you."
Chen Guanlou hesitated.
Chen Guanfu was dissatisfied. "Don't believe me?"
"Zhou Mobai!"
"Who?"
"The name of my enemy!" Chen Guanlou crossed his arms, and next he wanted to see how the other party would pretend to be forceful. Please show the strength of the Marquis Prefecture to your heart's content.
Chen Guanfu frowned. "How did you provoke that evil star."
"You are wrong, it's not that I provoked him, but he came to provoke me. He seized treasure and killed people. If I weren't witty, the grass on my grave would have already grown."
"Seizing treasure and killing people, how unreasonable!"
Chen Guanfu didn't doubt it at all. In his view, Chen Guanlou could advance to a Ninth Rank martial artist in just a few years, so he must have treasures and strange encounters. It's just that he never asked. He respected the other party! Many things don't need to be gotten to the bottom of.
Never expected that Zhou Mobai actually dared to run to the Marquis Prefecture's territory to kill and seize treasure, bullying people too much!
"Can you solve this person?" Chen Guanlou asked him.
Chen Guanfu sneered. "Zhou Mobai is a person from the palace, so he should be disciplined by people in the palace. I will come forward for this matter; your treasure might not be able to be taken back, you must be mentally prepared."
"Treasure doesn't matter, it's just that I can't swallow this breath. Are you sure you can clean him up? Don't let him run in front of me again, shouting and killing me!"
"Rest assured! The person I find, Zhou Mobai must also listen to the other party's instructions."
"It won't be Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Wei, right."
"You know quite a lot of people." Chen Guanfu teased. "Has Wei Wubing ever told you who his master is?"
"He still has a master, and is still alive?"
"Joke! On the martial path, without a master leading you through the door, how can you cultivate. You think everyone is like you, naturally talented, and can achieve something without a master's guidance. He not only has a master, but his master is still alive and well."
"Must be very old. Why have I never heard of it." Chen Guanlou opened his eyes again. He thought there were only three Grandmasters and one Great Grandmaster in the palace.
Never expected that there were awesome figures hidden in the palace.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Among the civil and military officials of the court, there are no more than five people who know this person is still alive. Coincidentally, the Marquis Prefecture has some origins with this person. I will pass the word to the palace; Zhou Mobai killed and seized treasure, so he needs to be disciplined. Your treasure, since you don't care, then..."
"Treasure doesn't need to be taken back. Just a mental cultivation method, it doesn't matter."
Chen Guanlou said very generously.
It's not a weapon or a talisman, so taking it back doesn't mean the other party can't use it. A mental cultivation method only needs to be memorized, and whether it is taken back or not makes no difference.
He even thought that if an emergency occurred, he would simply learn from the internet meme and give a copy of the "Ascension Record" to every Grandmaster he met. He wanted to see what Zhou Mobai would use to be arrogant. ===== CHAPTER 814 =====
