Dachunyang Palace

Chapter 43 Capture
The sun in the sky was faintly colored, as if covered by clouds.

The autumn wind blew quietly, bringing up the leaves all over the place.

It's just strange that three or two leaves seemed to be entangled by something out of thin air, and they kept shaking in the air, but they couldn't break free no matter what.

under the eaves
A figure with a bare chest and a white hat appeared out of thin air. Looking carefully, it was the foreign man who confronted the old man from the Tang clan with a broken leg that night.

He didn't see any more movements, the figure seemed to be pulled by some hook, and it floated straight into the sky, but the trajectory of the float was the same as the footprints on the ground, and I don't know what connection there is.

Louji Cabinet Shop
Cabinet workshops began to appear as early as the early Sui Dynasty, and their main function was to save money for others.

It sounds no different from a modern bank, but the bank pays interest, and this bank needs to pay money into it.

These days, the people who use silver and gold are either high-ranking officials or nobles. This makes ordinary people, especially those rich businessmen who are not high enough to be low enough, most troubled.

Because they often can only use Tongbao.

Tongbao is commonly known as Kongfang money.

As mentioned before, the purchasing power of silver is very strong, while that of Tongbao is relatively low. Those wealthy businessmen who do big business often have a warehouse of Tongbao at home, and it is difficult to spend it.

Because if you want to buy something very expensive, you need to transport the money out by truckloads.

Isn’t this looking for robbery?

Therefore, many rich and powerful merchants together formed a loose organization like the cabinet workshop.

What is the use of this place?
Save money
When you need money, you can open a flying cash in the cabinet, which is something similar to a check, and use it to pay.

A thin piece of paper is much more convenient than a carload of Tongbao.

Of course, due to the problems of credibility, transportation capacity and financial resources, this payment method is still limited to the hundreds of miles around Chang'an, Luoyang and Yangzhou.

The space occupied by a cabinet is generally not small, so in addition to saving money, such a large place can also be used for accommodation and temporarily serve as a small inn.

This Louji cabinet shop is one of the many cabinet shops near Chang'an.

The waiter in green clothes with a white cloth hanging around his neck carried a gourd of wine and a box of food and walked straight into the cabinet shop. He said loudly: "Shopkeeper! All the wine and food that the distinguished guests want are here!"

After finishing speaking, he entered the backyard through a small door under the stairs.

After entering the backyard, Xiaoer’s smile remained unchanged, he closed the door, glanced at the high courtyard wall, and quietly inserted the nanmu lunch box between the backyard and the back kitchen. It is recessed, and the lunch box is inserted there.

Then, he opened the wine gourd and poured wine into a small opening on the lunch box.

If an outsider can see it at this time, they will find out what kind of wine is in this gourd?It was clearly mercury with a silvery luster!
The little boy was very skillful in his movements, he didn't spill a single drop of mercury, and poured it all into the lunch box.

Immediately, the right hand that grabbed the handle of the lunch box twisted hard, and the lunch box and the depression on the ground turned together, and a small door slightly larger than a dog hole suddenly appeared in a corner of the back kitchen, which was very concealed.

After opening it, Xiao Er wrapped his eyes tightly with the towel hanging around his neck. When he was blindfolded, he could find that the white cloth was turned over and there were black marks everywhere.

Normally, people would think that it was the stain from Xiao Er cleaning up the sundries, but when he covered his eyes with the cloth, he would find that even in the daytime, he couldn't see anything.

Xiao Er bent down respectfully in the direction where the lunch box was placed, just bowed like this, without moving.

After waiting quietly for a while, after confirming that the waiter was indeed invisible, he lightly passed through the footprints.

It's just that for some reason, the Ming Cult assassin who usually walks on the snow without a trace and crosses the river without waves will leave such obvious footprints on the ground, and this point, even he himself has not discovered it.

If this is in the process of carrying out the task, it will definitely be a fatal flaw.

But at this time, the only person who could see the footprints was the little girl who bowed down respectfully and offered a gift.

Unfortunately, he covered his eyes.

……

Although Lu Yanhe is the richest man in the world, his life is not as easy as others imagined.

At this time, he was sitting by the desk, looking at the thick file in front of him.

There are many chambers of commerce in the world, and it is absolutely impossible to count them regardless of their size.

But if we only talk about the big ones, we can barely name more than [-] chambers of commerce, all of which are old chambers of commerce that have been passed down for nearly a hundred years.

Among the 72 or so chambers of commerce, [-] belong to Lu Yanhe.

The file in his hand now is the income report of 72 major chambers of commerce in the world this year.

Although it has undergone multiple simplifications, the dossier is still stacked to the height of an adult's calf, and it needs to be counted page by page. Even if the papermaking technology at this time is not as fine as that of later generations, it must have at least tens of thousands of pages.

But Lu Yanhe was very happy, turning page after page, thinking about something while turning.

The green candle by the door moved slightly, but no one was disturbed.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. The knocking speed was very fast and the pattern was very obvious.

Lu Yanhe frowned slightly.

After closing the file, he pressed his hands lightly to form a seal, and the door that could be knocked on just now disappeared out of thin air, and was sealed again out of thin air after someone entered.

Looking carefully, the wood grain on the door is so clear, but I don't know how the scene just now was made.

After entering the room, the person who came showed his figure, it was the foreign woman with the topless white cap last time.

Seeing that it was her, Lu Yanhe smiled.

He waved, took the letter from her hand and hugged her.

Something wrong

As if he suddenly felt something, he didn't care about the relationship between the woman in his arms and himself, he directly slapped out, grabbed the white leg with his big hand, and swung it up.

He threw the woman out as a shield with one blow.

As if encountering some obstacles in mid-air, the foreign woman was directly in the air, split into two from the left shoulder to the right waist.

'patta'

The body fell to the ground, but it didn't scream like an ordinary person who was dismembered, but his face was pale, and even the blood falling from the abdominal cavity was solidified.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yanhe's heart turned cold, and he slapped his hands on the table instantly, four small doors opened from all directions, and four figures rushed out at the same time, surrounded Lu Yanhe, surrounding him without leaving any gaps.

Lu Yanhe, who should have felt at ease, broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this.

four heads
All gone

Finally he let out a long sigh.

Lu Yanhe also sighed. He didn't expect that he was so careful, but someone still took the blame.

He cupped his fists towards Kong, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know which hero it is? I'm Lu Yanhe, if there's anything I can help you with, please open your mouth."

Originally, Lu Yanhe didn't think that the other party would answer him. The other party had done such a complete job. It was nothing more than asking for money or dying.

And when he just touched the table, he had already issued a warning, and now he just planned to delay for a while to wait for rescue.

Unexpectedly, the other party really answered.

"Oh? Master Lu is really so generous?"

After hearing this answer, Lu Yanhe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Since he can communicate, it means that there is room for communication.

'Maybe it's for money? '

I just don’t know…

Looking at the corpses of the four great masters at the peak of the Taiyuan Realm beside him, he was a little puzzled.

'...This master who is at least in the Tao state of mind, what is the use of money? '

"Then I will speak."

' He spoke in Tang language with a slight accent. He must be a cannibal, but I don't know if he is pretending. '

The voice sounded again, Lu Yanhe remained calm and carefully judged.

Suddenly a gust of warm wind blew by my ear, it was my breath.

After comparing the opponent's strength with his own, Lu Yanhe didn't choose to resist, and was just humiliated. Compared with life, what is it?
"I want your face."

The pupils contracted sharply. At this time, Lu Yanhe didn't know what the other party wanted to do, but he had to resist if he didn't resist. If this continued, not only his life would not be saved, but even his money might be controlled by others. How could he bear it?
The nail of the middle finger of his right hand swelled, but instead of stabbing at the opponent, it stabbed at his own face.

Before he felt the pain on his face, the sensation in his arms disappeared, and his neck also hurt.

Before Lu Yanhe died, there was no expression called fear on his face.

It's just that guilty look, but it can't be stopped no matter what.

'Has your identity been taken away...?'
