I Have a Luck Altar

  Chapter 8 Thirty Taels of Silver

   It is well known that border crossings are dangerous. No one would go to border crossings to fight barbarians even if they lost all their wealth.

  Chen Yuan chuckled lightly:

"What's your name?"

   "Little man. Liu Yishou." The man said quickly.

   "With whom?"

  There are many gangs in Ping'an County. Let alone pickpockets, even beggars are basically organized. If no one is covering them, they will not be able to get along.

   "Song Lao Liu in the south of the city" Liu Yishou dare not hide it.

  He even hoped that this poor man would look at Song Lao Liu and let him go.

  Theft is not a serious crime, but it will inevitably lead to some hardships. If the name is swiped and sent to the border, it will be really bad luck.

   "Song Lao Liu opened the casino?"

   "That's right, that's him. In the past, Song Lao Liu was a thief who started his business. Later, when the casino started, he didn't let go of this business."

   "Most of the gangsters in Ping'an County have something to do with him."

  Chen Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and his hands loosened a little, "What does Song Laoliu have to do with the people in the yamen?"

   "This... villain doesn't know."

   "How much silver are you going to give in exchange for your life?"

   "Little man. The whole body of the villain only has one tael of silver. I am willing to dedicate it all to the poor man." Liu Yi hurriedly took out a piece of silver from his cuff, his face was quite painful.

  One tael of silver is worth a thousand dollars, which is equivalent to a thousand copper plates, but he put in one tael of silver for a mere hundred or ten copper plates.

  Big loss!

  Chen Yuan accepted the broken silver. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. What's more, one tael of silver is no longer a small amount. His monthly salary plus some extra money did not exceed two taels.

  Strictly speaking, this is also a kind of extra money.

   "Okay, get out!" Chen Yuan waved his hand.

   "Thank you for your kindness." Liu Yishou hurriedly cupped his hands, then turned around and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

  The sky was getting dark, and the bustling people in the county basically started to go home, but Chen Yuan had just finished swinging a knife a hundred times.

   Every day, at least 200 times to swing the knife, this is Chen Yuan's decision after discovering the golden finger.

   Now it has been maintained for several days, and the arms have changed from being sore at the beginning to the current habit. Of course, this also includes Chen Yuan's progress in leather refining.

   Putting on ordinary clothes, and scattered a few strands of hair, Chen Yuan stepped out of the courtyard with a blank expression.

  Since he decided to take the path of being a villain, Chen Yuan has already had the consciousness to kill. The last time he killed an iron hand at close range, Chen Yuan recalled that not only did he not feel sick, but he felt a sense of refreshment!

  In a small building somewhere.

  Hall Master Wang handed over a small locked wooden box to Wang Er with a serious face, and said:

   "This trip is related to whether I can sit in the hall master's seat, so I must be careful." Afterwards, Hall Master Wang paused and continued:

   "When I sit in the hall master's seat, I can ask for a body training exercise for you, and I will promote you well."

  Wang Er is his confidant, and the leader of the gang has called them to discuss matters every night for the past two days, and they can't leave. Otherwise, such important matters will never be handed over to others.

   "Hall master, don't worry, the subordinates of the Huang family can find it. Besides, Butler Huang will also send someone to respond. The younger one will definitely take care of the matter for the hall master."

   "Don't forget what I told you."

   "Don't worry, the hall master," Wang Erpai said with confidence.

  In order to make Wang Er pay attention, Hall Master Wang said in a low voice:

   "If I can become the head of the hall, I will be eligible to meet Huang Butou. At that time, it is not impossible to suppress the kid surnamed Chen."

  Wang Er looked excited. He had been coveting the girl from Zhou Ji Baozi Shop for a long time.

  Chen Yuan put on a black scarf, hid on a roof not far from the back door of Huang's house, and watched closely for anyone passing by below.

  Giving gifts to others and accepting bribes is unlikely to go through the door. After all, the target of Hall Master Wang's gifts is the housekeeper of the Huang family, so he must not let the Huang family know.

  Chen Yuan's eyes were shining with blue light, observing if there was anything unusual nearby.

   After waiting for a long time, the sky began to rain again. This kind of weather has lasted for several days. The moon was half covered by the clouds, and the night became darker.

   Just when Chen Yuan was waiting impatiently, a faint sound of footsteps came to his ears. Chen Yuan took a closer look, and saw a thin figure in the distant alley looking around and walking forward.

   Quietly got off the roof, Chen Yuan slowly touched it

  Wang Er took a deep breath, hugged his chest and lowered his head. If he didn't observe carefully, no one would be able to see the swelling in his arms.

   "Shusha."

   In front of Wang Er appeared a figure who was also walking with his head down. The two gradually approached. Wang Er turned sideways to hide, not wanting to cause trouble.

  But the man stopped suddenly, and a white light lit up, reflecting a pair of deep eyes.

   "Poof."

   Before Wang Er could see who those familiar eyes were, he charged in with a long knife and chopped off his head without even having a chance to scream.

  At the end of his life, Wang Er only saw a figure with his back turned to him, as if he was searching for something on his body.

   "Is it the other assistant halls who took the initiative when it came to light? Little girl" Wang Er only thought of this in the end.

   Light the candle.

   Chen Yuan took out the wooden box found on Wang Er's body expressionlessly, and after looking it over, Chen Yuan drew his knife and chopped it off, sending sawdust flying everywhere.

   revealed the three small ingots inside, and a fine blue jade pendant.

   "Thirty taels of silver, this jade pendant is worth at least five taels of silver," Chen Yuan's eyes shone brightly, and this trip was not in vain.

  Thirty taels of silver is not a small amount. Thinking of his meritorious service to the county government, he was only rewarded with twenty taels of silver, which also shows the value of the silver.

  As the leader of the Wang family, it will take at least two years to save up. Now, for the sake of his own future, he is willing to ask the housekeeper of the Huang family to speak a few words.

  However, a dead fellow Taoist is not a poor daoist, so Chen Yuan didn't have any psychological burden to take the money, not to mention that the Beihai gang once oppressed Chen Yuan's family.

  Just now, Hall Master Wang's money is probably stolen from the people.

   "With these silvers, I can exchange for three Tiger Bone Pills, so I will soon step into the level of blood refinement," Chen Yuan thought to himself.

  He is twenty-one-year-old this year, and he is already considered an older martial artist. If he does not improve his realm as soon as possible, it would be foolish to embark on a stronger martial arts path.

  Not to mention, as far as Chen Yuan knows, the most outstanding child of the Huang family is only sixteen years old, and he is already at the level of blood refining, and this is just a family in a small county.

  By analogy, the strength of young heroes in the arena is definitely beyond his imagination.

   One step first, one step at a time

  Since he is unwilling to be ordinary and decides to step into martial arts, he must work hard in this direction.

   This night, Hall Master Wang waited very late

  Thanks to the book friend Wanli, the sea is exhausted, Fengjiu Donghua's reward of one hundred coins.
