Chapter 4 Guessing
After all, it is too bare to use Shen Hao's fifth-level Qi Refining cultivation to fight a third-level evil spirit. Now that he has the three third-level thunder talismans, he has some confidence.
Talismans are considered consumables, and they can carve various magic tricks on them. They only require a very little magic power to indoctrinate and stimulate and use them. They are a good thing that can instantly improve combat power.
However, although the production of talismans is simple, it is linked to cultivation. Only powerful talismans can be made by cultivators of the same power. Therefore, even places like Xuan Qingwei are in short supply in terms of talismans all year round. Each talisman needs to be reviewed and allocated.
The last time Shen Hao owned the talisman was four months ago.
......
Danfang.
"Bing flag, group A, small flag officer Shen Hao."
"Here I am."
"This is your little Peiyuan Dan, please sign for it here."
"Okay, thank you."
When Shen Hao heard that he called his name, he hurriedly stepped forward and took a small copper box from the other party and a receipt.
After signing the name, I left the rubbing on the waist card, and holding the copper box, my feet became a little lighter.
Compared to the three thunder talismans used as confidence, the little Peiyuan Dan was the most overwhelming gain for Shen Hao. After getting it, he didn't even stop for a long time, and went back to the small house he rented around the ward station, then sat cross-legged and opened the copper box, raised his head and swallowed the pill inside.
The pills melt in the mouth and turn into a wisp of coolness. They first enter the stomach and then spread throughout the body.
This is called the transformation pill. After the pill is transformed, it will disperse to all limbs and bones. It is the process of the spiritual energy in the pill becoming "lively" from a quiet state, and then it can be absorbed by the body.
Shen Hao did not dare to neglect, so he quickly calmed down and used his skills to absorb the spiritual energy in the pill that had been transformed.
This is the second small Peiyuan Pill that Shen Hao swallowed in eight years since he joined Xuan Qingwei. The first one was the reward he received when he was promoted to the Little Banner Officer four years ago. That small Peiyuan Pill directly raised his cultivation from the third level of Qi Refining to the fourth level.
Now Shen Hao’s cultivation level is at the fifth level of Qi Refining. I wonder how much you will gain if you swallow this little Peiyuan Pill.
Two hours later, Shen Hao constrained his energy and stopped his efforts.
"Crack..."
The moment he stood up, Shen Hao's whole body was muffled, and a new force surged out of his dantian and poured into Baihui.
"The muscles and bones are ringing together! The sixth level of Qi refining!"
Shen Hao's hard practice over the past few years is already at the critical point of the late stage of the fifth level of Qi refining. Now that a small Peiyuan Pill has eaten, the huge spiritual energy contained in it immediately fills the gap in the late stage of the fifth level and directly helps him break through the barriers to the small realm.
After a long time, Shen Hao calmed down again, took a shower and changed into a brocade robe before leaving.
It was getting late at this time. Shen Hao first went to West Street, cut five signature roast chickens in the old shop of Duanji roast chicken, bought two jars of old man's wine, and then went to the teleportation array in the center of the city, showed off his waist card, and teleported to Wuyang City again.
......
"This is a late-night snack for my brothers, so that all my brothers who don't take shifts can be divided."
"Oh! The roast chicken from Duan Ji's old shop! And the old man's stuffing! Tsk, thank you Xiaoqi, I'll go and greet my brothers for a late-night snack now."
The entire Qi Mansion soon broke the original gloomy, and even the bloody smell added some of the aroma of roast chicken and wine.
Except for the shifts that had to be on duty, the rest of Xuan Qingwei started to rest in groups, eating roast chicken and drinking old wine, with a smile on his face. As for the occasion, these people didn't care too much, and avoided those places with flesh and blood.
Shen Hao and Wang Xiaoling found a place to sit down alone, and they divided half a roast chicken and half a jar of old wine.
"Tomorrow, the money in the warehouse will be taken away by the general flag. You ask the brothers to divide it in advance tonight, and we will divide it by ourselves according to the old rules."
"Save so much?"
"Are you too many? Don't act here with me. You can intercept as much as you ask you to intercept. When will I make a mistake in this kind of thing?"
"Hehe, Xiaoqi benevolent and righteous! I will thank you for your brothers first!" As he said that, he bowed to Shen Hao.
"No need to thank me, it's all hard money. But the same thing, we have to do something more carefully after collecting the money, right? Mr. Chen has a deadline for the Qi family case. The result must be produced before the sixth day of next month. You must have a clear idea in your mind."
"So fast? It only takes ten days to calculate it? Not all such cases are usually..."
Shen Hao reached out and interrupted, "Don't ask too much, just check it out. Report any findings to me immediately. Do you understand?"
"I understand, please don't worry."
The two chatted for a few more times, and Wang Xiaoling suddenly said, "By the way, Xiaoqi, you asked me to secretly check the Qi family's bottom."
Shen Hao took a sip of wine and signaled the other party to continue.
"Xiaoqi, you are really aware of it. The foundation of the Qi family is indeed not simple. After you left in the afternoon, I went to look through the Qi family's account room and found that they also hid some books in the secret compartment, which were Yin and Yang account books. The amounts on both sides were completely different, and the goods entering and leaving did not seem to be a normal businessman at all.
At the beginning of January, the Qi family's gross income was more than 370,000 yuan in the positive account book, but the negative account was more than 60,000 yuan in the negative account. The main reason for the debt was that they invested a total of 700,000 taels of silver. However, according to the Qi family's apparent flow, they did not need so many raw materials at all.
Why did my account book be made into an yin and yang account book? I don’t think it’s like it. And I asked the yamen’s servants to take me to see the warehouse in the suburbs of Qi’s family. The materials and finished products stored in it were definitely not enough for 700,000 taels of silver, which was not comparable to the amount on their yin account book...
In addition, we also found some secret rooms in Qijia’s warehouse, which actually stored a lot of standard weapons and some banned materials.”
After the other party finished speaking, Shen Hao put down the wine glass in his hand and asked, "What are the Qi family doing behind their backs?"
"Smuggling. The subordinates think that the Qi family is likely to be doing smuggling behind their backs."
"Who knows this?"
"It's all done by my subordinates alone. The servants in the yamen are just leading the way, so I didn't let them enter the warehouse. Now I have someone to guard the warehouse. No one can enter without your warrant."
"Well done. Don't make this happen. After you handle the money transfer tomorrow, you will find two trustworthy brothers to continue digging deep into the details of the Qi family. Regardless of whether they are smuggling or not, I will figure out what they are doing."
......
Late at night.
Shen Hao did not have a rest, ten days were very tight, and he didn't want to waste it at will.
"Xiaoqi, this is the back door of the Qi family. We have not cleaned up everything inside, and it still looks like after the incident."
"Okay, you don't have to accompany me when you do your business, I'll take a walk by myself."
I looked left and right and found that the back door of Qi's family was in an empty alley. After passing a corner ten feet to the left, it was the main street. The alley to the right was deep, and it seemed that it was the back door passage of various large mansions along the street.
The alley is very wide, and there is still plenty to do when passing a carriage.
I turned around and looked at the door. Compared to the Qi family's generous main entrance, the back door was ordinary and not conspicuous.
