How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 101

[101. Chapter 101 Who is picking up the leaks?]

Finally, Zhang Jinlai opened the door.

The person who opened the door was an old man in white with a celestial spirit. He had a three-foot long beard and looked like a miracle doctor. But when he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked:

“Damn it, are you disturbing my sleep at noon? I wish you had a heart attack every day!”

Zhang Jinlai His face darkened, and he took out the contract with the official seal.

The old man in white clothes rushed over to take a look, snorted coldly, but didn’t say anything else and got out of the way.

Seeing this, Zhang Jinlai quickly snatched back the contract and walked into the shop. As expected, he smelled a faint smell of moldy medicinal materials.

Looking at the tables and chairs around them, they were actually covered with a layer of dust.

“Nephew, start counting.”

Zhang Jinlai sighed, took out his account book, and began to count the store’s inventory.

Not long after, a group of people came outside the door. When I asked, I found out that they were herbal collectors who were owed money by the pharmacy. They all took the receipts and asked Zhang Jinlai to pay back the money.

Zhang Jinlai gritted his teeth and had to ask his daughter Zhang Ling’er to take out the money bag and settle the debt.

At this scene, seeing the fat middle-aged man in white next to him became happy.

At this moment, an exclamation came from the backyard: “Uncle, come and see!”

Zhang Jinlai frowned when he heard the sound and hurriedly walked into the backyard.

The fat middle-aged man in white followed him in. When he saw Zhang Jinlai’s nephew crawling out of the cellar, he was holding a dusty old wooden box in his hand.

“Uncle, I found this from a jar of moldy Polygonum multiflorum in the cellar. I don’t know what it is.”

Zhang Jinlai’s nephew handed over the wooden box.

“Hahahaha, buried in Polygonum multiflorum, it might be old orange peel!”

The fat middle-aged man in white laughed and mocked.

Zhang Jinlai glared at him, wiped the wooden box with his sleeve, and carefully opened the lid.

Suddenly, three ginseng sticks as thick as thumbs appeared in front of everyone.

A faint scent of ginseng spread around.

“The fragrance of this ginseng is pure and pure. It is at least five hundred years old ginseng!” A drug dealer quickly came over, took a closer look, and exclaimed.

The ginseng is shaped like a baby, and the ginseng whiskers are as thick as chopsticks. The longest one is more than two feet long.

It’s thousand-year-old ginseng!

A drug dealer exclaimed, a look of fiery greed flashing across his face.

This thousand-year-old ginseng is something that can only be found but cannot be found. One root is at least hundreds of taels of gold!

At this time, Zhu Datou on the side was staring at three thousand-year-old ginseng, his eyes widened and the fat on his face was trembling, showing endless regret and heartache.

If he calls out the price again, then this box of thousand-year-old ginseng will be his! He actually missed more than a thousand taels of gold by mistake!

Zhu Datou said “Oh” and covered his heart, his face turned pale, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn’t breathe!

“Hahahaha! My daughter, one Thousand-Year Parameter is one hundred taels of gold, and three is more than one thousand taels! This time we made a lot of money!”

At this time, Zhang Jinlai looked ecstatic and extremely excited.

“Dad! Put it away first!”

Zhang Ling’er also had a smile on her face, but as soon as she turned her face, she immediately stared at the wealthy businessman beside her with extremely vigilant eyes.

“Haha, Boss Zhang, do you want to sell this thousand-year-old ginseng? Can I pay you one thousand taels of gold?”

Immediately, a wealthy businessman made a bid with a smile and a very friendly attitude.

“Humph! I won’t sell it! Get out of here! Nephew, drive them all out. If they don’t want to leave, go to the Zhenfu Department and ask Mr. Lu to support us!”

Zhang Jinlai’s face changed, and he snorted coldly, on the spot. Start chasing people away.

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

“Hey, don’t push it, Boss Zhang, do you really not want to sell it? I’ll pay you one thousand five hundred taels!”

It didn’t take long before Zhu Datou and his gang were all kicked out of the drug store.

At the door, everyone looked back at Yaoming Pharmacy and sighed:

“Oh, Zhang Jinlai picked up a big leak!”

“Yes, if I had known this, I would have traveled six hundred miles to buy this pharmacy.”

“That one .

Sorry, my mother seems to be giving birth. I’ll take my leave now.”

“I almost forgot! My sow is about to give birth to her twelfth litter, and I’ll go check it out.”

…

I don’t know what happened. Just disperse, all slip away.

“Master, what’s going on?”

a guard asked in confusion.

Zhu Datou gritted his teeth and snorted coldly: “These guys have gone back to raise money! It seems that Zhenfu Si Lu Qian really didn’t take inventory of these shops and properties, so that guy Zhang Jinlai got lucky and picked up A box of thousand-year-old ginseng! This time, Zhang Jinlai not only earned back the 500 taels from the store, but also earned more than 1,000 taels of gold! Tomorrow, those wealthy businessmen will probably buy the stores at the auction regardless of good or bad! “

Then let’s…” the guard asked again.

“Hmph! Go back and raise money!” Zhu Datou looked back at the drug store, spat, turned around and left.

Soon, what happened in this famous store spread throughout Shashui County.

A group of wealthy businessmen marveled at the fact that Zhang Jin came to pick up the leak. At the same time, he also secretly sent people back to raise money, preparing to kill everyone tomorrow to see if they could pick up the leak.

…

Late at night, in the side hall of Zhenfu Division.

Lu Qian was still sitting in the main seat, glanced at the thousand-year-old ginseng beside the table, and said with a satisfied smile: “Zhang Jinlai, you are good at acting. You cooperated well with me this time.” “

Where, where, the grass people are the fluorescence of rotten grass “

“Master Lu is the bright moon in the sky. How can ordinary people compare to Master Lu?”

Zhang Jinlai sat on the chair with his buttocks half-saddled, smiling and giving him a flattery.

The power was so powerful that Cao Dun, standing next to him, felt a huge threat.

“Don’t worry, if you act as a trustee for me, I will naturally give you benefits. This is my warrant, stamped with the official seal. After the railway is opened, you can get a 50% discount on the freight rate when you borrow the Iron Bull Speeder.”

At this time, Lu Gan handed over a note.

“Thank you, sir!”

Zhang Jinlai looked overjoyed when he heard this and quickly bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

Then, he bowed forward to take the note and carefully put it into his arms, as if he had found a treasure.

Zhang Linger, who was beside him, couldn’t help but look happy.

Although I don’t know how much the freight of Tieniu Speed is, but with a 50% discount, it will definitely save a lot of money.

“Okay, you can go. I still have important things to do, so I won’t receive you any more.”

Lu Gan waved his hand and gave the tea away.

“Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your hard work. I’ll take my leave.”

Zhang Jinlai and his daughter stood up, bowed, and exited the side hall.

After the others left, Cao Dun stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said solemnly: “Your Excellency, my subordinates went to the county to check the Fusi, and did not find out any news about Jian Shisan.”

Lu Qian frowned when he heard this.

The current task was refreshed, so he naturally wanted to do it, but he couldn’t get away, so he asked Cao Dun to go to the county, hoping to gain something.

But now, there is no news at all?

“What did the Shenhuo Hall say?”

Lu Gan asked again.

Cao Dun handed over his hand again: “Back to your lord, the Shenhuo Hall is ready. In about three days, they will immediately send people to dig mountains, pave roads, and set up railway tracks.”

“It’s good news.”

Lu Gan nodded after hearing this.

For the construction of the first railway, with the manpower and material resources of Shenhuo Hall, it should take more than half a month to lay the road and set up the rails.

In other words, a railway connecting Shashui County directly to the county can be built before the end of the year!

This was financed with the private money he got from ransacking his house!

If something went wrong, he would really suffer a big loss!

“By the way, is there any news about the person I asked you to find before?” Lu Gan raised his head and asked.

What he is looking for is another Feitian realm master in Shashui County, the mysterious strong man who is looking for an apprentice to inherit the mantle of the system ‘World Knowledge King’.

After you find him, you will naturally come to your door to gain favor with him.

If possible, directly increase your favorability, please return to Zhenfu Division, protect yourself, and ask for martial arts lessons.

“Sir, I don’t have any clues yet. But my subordinates will find it as soon as possible!”

Cao Dun said with a solemn expression.

“Well, it’s okay. It’s a bit difficult to find someone based on just an outline. However, you can start with his clothes. He should be an old man who likes to wear green clothes.”

Lu Gan summoned the ‘World Knowledge’ and looked at the person above. The green humanoid silhouette frowned.

“Yes! I will get it done as soon as possible!”

Cao Dun bowed and accepted the order.

Seeing this, Lu Gan smiled with satisfaction: “Cao Dun, after you finish these things, you should practice hard. There is a Po Gang Pill here. You can take it when you reach the peak of your physical body.”

After that, he took out a wooden box and handed it out.

“Po Gang Dan?” Cao Dun was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted with an ecstatic look on his face and took it with trembling hands.

Then he knelt down on one knee and thanked: “Thank you so much, Lord Lu! My subordinate, Cao Dun, is willing to go through fire and water for Lord Lu for generations!”

He never expected that he would be rewarded with such a pill.

This is the Po Gang Pill that no one with money can get!

“Well, you have been busy for a few days and are tired. Go back and rest.” Lu Gan stood up and helped him up, smiling and patting his shoulder.

“Yes!”

Cao Dun was so excited that he didn’t know what to say. He cupped his hands with great respect and bowed back.

Afterwards, Lu Qian also left the side hall and walked back to his courtyard.

When he reached his own door, he suddenly paused, turned around and walked towards Lady Ji’s courtyard door. He raised his hand and knocked on the courtyard door three times under the bright moonlight.
