Chapter 87 Three mice!
Chapter 87 Three rats!
"You three brave guys dared to steal glassware that were prepared to be presented to the emperor. This is the crime of deceiving the king. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it is to be executed by Lingchi and the whole family will be executed.
Do you know Lingchi? You are tied to a large pillar, stripped off your clothes, covered them with a fishing net, and then cut down one by one, which is a total of 3,650.
While cutting the flesh down, you also need to apply bleeding-resistance medicine to make you die a little slower and suffer more torture until you stab your heart with the last knife and send you to see the King of Hell. In that scene, how could the word "miserable" be so!"
While speaking, Li Zhao secretly observed the "Three Rats" and found that although they were pale, they did not show fear, nor did they kneel down to beg for mercy. This shows that the three of them are quite brave.
Just think about it, if it weren’t for the bold man, he wouldn’t dare to steal the Wang family’s treasure house!
Besides, these three guys have unique skills and are brotherly loyal. Unfortunately, they have embarked on the evil path. If they can turn back to the right, they will definitely be of great use in the future. It would be a pity for such a person to die... After a little thought, Li Zhao had an idea in his mind.
"In theory, you three are dead, but I have the virtue of being a virtuous person and can let you live a life, but there is a condition: you three must turn back to the right and join the bad person organization... As long as you agree, the previous guilt will be eliminated, and I will treat you as a confidant. In the future, we will live and die together, share wealth and prosperity together, and let us introduce it together, by the way, this young master: Li Zhao, currently the position of bad general!"
"If you don't kill us, do you mean this seriously?"
"No vain words!"
The "Three Rats" never expected that the young master in front of him not only did not kill them, but also wanted to recruit them. Why?
Could it be that the recruitment is fake and there are other plans in secret?
But they have no money, no treasures, and no beautiful sisters, so what can they do?
The Gophas, the Flying River Rat shook his confused head, and his eyes fell on the Thousand Face Rat, letting the smartest brother make an idea.
"Thank you, the young master, for your life, and we three brothers are willing to serve!"
"Very good, there is a saying: the prodigal son will never change his gold. As long as you can turn back and do things well, you will definitely have a great future in the future. But, are you three really working for this son?"
"Sincere, absolutely sincere. We brothers can swear to the heavens and let the young master drive them away in the future. If you have two hearts, you will be punished by heaven and earth and will not die well. After you die, you will not eat the dogs. If you eat them, you will have diarrhea. All you have to do is to take Huangxi soup..."
While making a poisonous oath, the Thousand-faced Rat was making small plans in his heart. In order to survive, the situation in front of him could only agree to it first.
After the incident, I will find another opportunity to escape. The young man in front of me is indeed terrible. Unfortunately, there is too little experience in the world and I don’t know how sinister people are... Why do you make a poisonous oath? It’s just like eating cabbage!
Thousand-faced Rat thought he was proud, but he didn't know that although Li Zhao was young, he was an old man. He couldn't fool him with a few lies!
"Very good. I have accepted you, but for safety reasons, you have to prove your loyalty. The Sun Rat will give each of them a 'Three Corpse Brain and Pill', and by the way, I will talk about my rules."
"promise!"
The Bai Sun Rat followed Li Zhao for more than a year and already knew the secret of "Three Corpse Brain Return to Pills". He immediately secretly rubbed three small mud balls from his armpits and walked towards the "Three Corpse Brain Return to Pills". Each of them forced one, and by the way, he told the three newcomers that the medicinal properties of "Three Corpse Brain Return to Pills" and the three rules that Li Zhao had set for him at the beginning.
"To be honest, I used to be a thief, and I have been living a confused life, and I have been silly every day. Later, I was lucky enough to meet the young master, so I turned to the right and became a righteous person. Although you are not very happy now, after following the young master for a long time, you will gradually understand. At that time, you will use a stick to drive you away, and you will not leave. If you don't believe it, let's just go and see!"
With the method of combining hardness and softness, the "Three Rats" did not dare to have any other intentions again, so they could only be obedient.
Next, the Jiangshi Rat sneaked into the Yuelong Pond and fished up twenty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry and eighty-one glassware. After careful inventory, there were no more.
The things have been retrieved, but if Jingzhao Mansion asks the thief who stole the treasure, he can't hand over the "three rats" he just recruited, right?
It’s easy to deal with. I sent people to the mass grave outside the city to get a few fresh abandoned corpses, and just move a little bit. That’s to say, during the arrest, the thieves resisted stubbornly and were all killed on the spot!
Anyway, in Jingzhao Mansion, the Wang family is concerned about gold, silver, jewelry and glassware. As long as the things are retrieved, it doesn’t matter whether the thief is true or false, whether he dies or lives!
Everything is done, go back and hand in the business!
...
The lost things were retrieved, and Wang Yuanbao was extremely happy and ordered a banquet in his lobby to entertain Li Zhao and others!
The world's No. 1 God of Wealth in the World is naturally a big deal: beasts and swallows in the clouds, fresh cattle and sheep on the land, monkey heads, bird's nests, sharks fins, bear's paws, dried scallops, deer tail tips... all kinds of delicacies and seafood were served, and more than ten jars of wine were brought up in one breath.
Li Zhao and others were not polite either. They shook their cheeks, raised their back teeth, and ate the ditch and the trough was flat!
"Ba! -Baa!"
After eating and drinking, Wang Yuanbao patted his palms three times. The servants carried out dozens of large wooden boxes filled with gold ingots, pearls, gems, beautiful jade, emeralds... all of which were valuable things.
The old butler brought out a plate with several thick bundles of house deeds and land deeds. The total number of thirteen manors is ripe, with more than a thousand fertile fields, and tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, mules, and horses!
"Senior, what does this mean?"
"I have promised that anyone can help to retrieve the eighty-one lost glassware? I am willing to give it to you with a full family property. Everything is here. Please accept it by Mr. Zhao!"
"Haha, I have worked hard to find the glassware. I dare not say that I have been kind to the Wang family, at least it has been a meritorious person. Why did you harm me?"
"I fulfilled my promise and gave me a gift of my family property. Why did Mr. Zhao harm each other?"
"Haha, the ancients said: If you don't have the power to control the vast amount of power, you will definitely cause huge disasters... Wealth is the root of trouble. If you want to say something later, can you please tell me?"
Wang Yuanbao stopped drinking and looked at Li Zhao again, his eyes full of shock and admiration. What a smart and wise young man with extraordinary concentration!
These words are so correct. Money is a good thing, but it can easily cause disasters. I have a deep understanding of this principle!
Everyone says that he is the world's number one god of wealth, enjoying happy days like a god every day, but who knows how many people are eyeing the Wang family's property, how many open and secret arrows he has been... In order to save his life, he is cautious everywhere, thinking day and night, and dare not make any mistakes, and life is even more miserable!
If I had known this, I would rather be a small businessman selling silk, three meals a day, vegetables and tofu. Although my life was a little poor, I was happy to be safe!
"Young Master Zhao said it right. If there are too many yellow and white things, it will be easy to cause disasters. But I have to count the things I promised, right?"
"If you really want to repay me, I have a small request."
"What are the requirements, tell me!"
"It's two small businesses, please watch it!"
The business of distilled liquor has always been limited to Wu'an County, and the business of refining refined salt has been carried out secretly. The reason why the business cannot be expanded is mainly due to two major problems: one is that there is no strong protective umbrella, and the other is that there is no smooth business channel.
Wang Yuanbao is the world's number one God of Wealth, and his business names are spread all over the country. If he can cooperate with it, the two problems will be solved.
By then, the profits earned by distilling liquor and refining refined salt will definitely be much greater than one-tenth of the Wang family's property - Li Zhao thought so.
"Interesting, let's talk about it, what kind of business is it?"
"Well..."
Li Zhao didn't say it, but looked around.
Wang Yuanbao understood it and waved his hand. All the servants, maids and guards around him left the lobby, leaving only an old housekeeper, who was Wang Yuanbao's confidant, absolutely loyal and reliable!
Without the eavesdropping person, Li Zhao then explained in detail the distilled liquor and refined salt, hoping to cooperate with the Wang family to operate the profits of both parties!
...
"Haha, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao is not only smart and wise, but also has the ability to turn stones into gold. If you were twenty years old, I would probably not be the turn of me to sit in the world as the number one God of Wealth in the world... But now, if you cooperate with me with my weak power, it's like a cunning rabbit accompanying a tiger, you won't be afraid of being swallowed in one bite?"
"Not afraid!"
“Why?”
"Because for seniors, money is no longer meaningful, it's just a number. What the seniors are worried about now is not that they have too little money, but that they have too much money. As the saying goes: wealth is great, and their income is great, and their descendants are in trouble later. If you ask what this is the case, their descendants are brave and they are not afraid of big things, and they will not let go if they lose their wealth.
There is little wealth and little production. Later, the descendants suffer less disasters. If you ask this, the descendants have little money and are afraid, and you will know how to protect yourself in some small industries, and you will be frugal!"
Silent, very quiet!
For a whole incense stick, Wang Yuanbao didn't say a word, but just stared at Li Zhao. The feeling was like discovering a rare treasure, or finding a confidant in life!
Then he lowered his head and thought again. After a long time, he slapped his thigh hard, as if he had made some important decision.
"Okay, it's a good thing. I agreed to the cooperation between the two parties, but the profit sharing will change, and each account for half of it will definitely not do it!"
"Oh, according to the words of senior?"
"You account for 80% of the 28% share. I only need 20% of the 20% share. I also give this token to you. Mr. Zhao is in charge and can order all the Wang family's businesses. If you give them money, you will be given no restrictions on the quantity!"
While speaking, Wang Yuanbao took out a black jade plaque from his arms, four inches high and two inches wide, with water wave patterns around him, and eight words were engraved in the middle: wealth comes from all directions, and gold and jade are everywhere.
On the back is engraved with a God of Wealth, a gold ingot in the left hand and a jade Ruyi in the right hand. She is full of smiles and amiable!
This jade token was the token of the head of the Wang family. Wang Yuanbao handed it to the old housekeeper, who was taken to Li Zhao again.
Unexpectedly, Li Zhao did not reach out to answer: "Senior is so generous, I am very grateful to you. But, I am afraid there are other conditions for giving this treasure to you, right?"
"Haha, dealing with smart people is easy to deal with. It's good. I do have a heartless request: my grandson lives long and is unbearable. Can you ask Mr. Zhao to train him on your behalf? If you don't want to make a great progress, you can save your life.
Besides, Mr. Zhao will sooner or later soar into the sky. If one day, I will no longer be alive, I would ask the young master to take care of his longevity and not let him be bullied by evil people."
Wang Yuanbao's request was to ask Li Zhao to help him train his grandson, that is, the naughty long-lived young man.
Even in his words, there is a vague meaning of entrusting one's own son. I hope that Li Zhao will act as the protector of the Wang family when he becomes prosperous in the future!
...
"Okay, I agree. As long as I, Li Zhao, are here in the future, I will ensure that your long-lived young man will be safe and prosperous in your life!" After a little thought, Li Zhao drank the glass of wine in one gulp, smashed the wine glass, and then took the Mo Yu Token with both hands!
This token is very heavy and it is dangerous to hold it in your hand, and it may even cause death!
But with this token, you can do a lot of things, which will benefit the country, the people, and yourself... It is worth taking some danger!
