Chapter 874 - 875 - Xuan LiMu Jin"s beautiful peach blossom eyes were warm, shallow, and did not seem to have a temper. However, in just the blink of an eye, a sharp ray of light shot out from his eyes.
Su"er lowered her head and converted the silver into coins for her underworld clan. After all, she had a certain concept of money.
"Boss, we bought so many things, how about you erase those two hundred silver taels?" Since Su"er was small, she naturally did not know of the tricks behind it.
She only knew that she had cheated on others, but she had never thought that she would be cheated by the unscrupulous merchant.
The boss quickly shook his head, "No, no, no. If that"s the case, then we"ll lose. Besides, I"m not the boss, so I can"t be the host!"
But who was the Su"er? Acting cute and acting coquettishly was another easy target, making this black-hearted boss feel like he couldn"t live with the morals of such a cute little girl. He had to be less deceitful!
"Fine, since you guys bought so many at once, I"ll give you guys a 10% discount!" As the boss spoke, he went to get the abacus.
Mu Jin laughed after hearing this, seeing how young the boss was, he was most likely the owner"s son, so he had yet to learn arithmetic properly.
When the boss saw the numbers on the abacus, he was immediately stunned.
92,800 taels?
This was more than just two hundred taels? Let alone blackmailing them, they probably didn"t even earn much money.
"Thank you so much, Boss. Here"s 100,000 silver notes. I"ll have to trouble you to find them!" After Mu Jin saw the string of numbers on the abacus, he elegantly took out a silver note.
The shop owner shook his head and said, "No, no, let"s do what we did just now. We"ll give you two hundred liang of silver!"
Su"er immediately understood what was going on when she heard her. She changed from her cute posture to a delinquent look, "How can you not keep your word when you come out to do business? Just a moment ago, I told you to cut off all your credits, but if you didn"t go, you would"ve made a 20% discount, and now you"re going back on your words! "
While talking, Su"er shouted to the pa.s.sersby outside the door.
Mu Jin continued to cooperate until there were many people spectating at the door. After all, business was about integrity.
The shop owner had no choice but to accept the banknotes worth 100,000 taels of silver and to search for 7120 taels of silver.
When Su"er and Mu Jin left the shop, the owner almost cried.
Not only did he not get a single cent, he even lost a lot of money.
Very quickly, Prince An and Duke Lu both received the news that their deathsworn had been killed by the unknown yellow powder.
When they sent out their deathsworn, they had already investigated the Clear Fire Pavilion. Jiangnan Courtyard was just a branch of the Clear Fire Pavilion, there weren"t many dark guards in it, so they sent out a large number of Death Soldiers.
However, they didn"t expect that the Death Soldiers they sent out had all been killed by the unknown yellow powder.
What was that yellow powder?
When the Prince An and the Divine Master of the Law heard about it, they became even more furious. Their expressions became terrifyingly gloomy, and with a wave of their hands, they smashed the teacups on the table into pieces.
At the same time, Mu Zhi, who was within the Imperial Palace, also received the news, and was slightly surprised: "Looks like Mu Jin has made sufficient preparations this time, and predicted everything that might happen. I just wonder if he found out about the mastermind!"
At this time, a plain looking carriage slowly drove to the entrance of Jiangnan Courtyard, in front of it sat a man dressed in azure and blue clothes, with a sword at his waist, he coldly looked at the strange color of blood and yellow powder mixed in front of the Jiangnan Courtyard.
The thick smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time.
Even though there was not a single corpse on the ground, Xuan Li knew clearly that an extremely intense battle had just taken place here, and countless people had died.
"Master, what a heavy smell of blood. Has something happened?" Meiyu stuck her head out from behind the blue curtain. Although her skin was still dark, it was extremely healthy. She was dressed as a woman, and her eyebrows gave off the unique charm of a woman.
Xuan Li frowned, and warned: "You and Xiao Rui stay in the carriage, I"ll go take a look!"
With that, Xuan Li got off the carriage, walked to the door of the Jiangnan Courtyard, and opened it.
"Young master, there"s a person claiming to be Xuan Li outside the door!" Cang Chu was currently reading a weapon book in his hands, and hearing the two words Xuan Li, the book in his hands became a little unsteady. Then, his hands curled into a fist, as if trying to conceal something, and coughed a few times.
"Let them in!"
"Yes!"
Xuan Li was walking in front and talking with the hidden guards. It was only then that he realized that they had met with an a.s.sa.s.sination attempt not too long ago, and the people they had sent were all Death Soldiers, and they had even taken several times the usual amount of medicine.
However, the pavilion had already nurtured many of these warriors to their deaths, and since they were well aware of the terrifying and aggressive nature of a certain type of drug, they had developed a special method to deal with it three years ago.
As long as the body of a Death Soldier consumed a drug that could paralyze the nerves and increase one"s strength, once it came into contact with a medicine made at the Clear Moon Pavilion, the drug would counteract the drug and cause the muscles of the Death Soldier to rapidly shrivel.
Xuan Li listened and nodded, it fit Mu Jin"s style very well.
Meiyu held onto Xiao Rui"s hand and quietly followed behind Xuan Li.
The current Xiao Rui was already five years old, with a pair of eyebrows as handsome and determined as Xuan Li"s, he was also not smiling at all. Even though he was small, his walking posture was extremely similar to Xuan Li"s, even around his waist there was a short blade.
Other than the fact that her eyes looked more similar to Xuan Li"s, her nose, mouth, and even her skin looked like jade. From this, Xiao Rui became even more handsome as he merged with the jade.
Wearing a moon-white robe, Cang Chu sat on the Golden Silk Sannan Wood"s chair. His pitch-black eyes looked towards the direction of the door without blinking.
Who knew what he was thinking? He just felt his scalp go numb, and prayed in his heart for Mu Jin to quickly return with Su"er.
As he was thinking, Xuan Li had already walked to the door. Seeing Mu Jin seated in her seat, waiting for him, Xuan Li"s eyes flickered with a glimmer of light.
He walked up to Cang Chu and knelt on the ground. His words contained an unconcealable emotion: "Master, Xuan Li rushed over right after seeing Master"s letter!"
He had wanted to return to Mu Jin"s side more than once, but Mu Jin had always rejected him. This time, when he received the letter from Mu Jin, he immediately ordered Meiyu to pack up some clothes for him to come over with Xiao Rui.
In the face of the excitement that flashed across Xuan Li"s eyes and face, Cang Chu seemed to be slightly raised. Even though his disguise technique was impressive and he could imitate others, he was after all not the real Mu Jin, and he would definitely be back soon.
