Vol 4 Chapter 37: save money

In the restaurant box, only Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan sat at a table.

"Bang bang bang." There was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Deputy Captain Qian Yan said.

Immediately, an old man pushed open the door and came in, saluting the three of them with great enthusiasm: "My lord is very happy to hear that Mr. Jing has taken office, and sent a congratulatory gift to the young man." Then he put a gift bag on the table.

"Captain, this is the housekeeper of the Lord's Mansion on Nansheng Street." Qian Yan introduced.

Xu Jingming understood: "It turned out to be Lord Yu! Lord Yu has a heart."

There are only three officials with some status in the area under their jurisdiction. Of course, the 'officers' mentioned here are at least rank five! In the imperial capital, officials below the fifth rank... are really small officials, not worth mentioning, the blood rain guards are too lazy to monitor.

"Let's retire." The old man sent a congratulatory gift and immediately left.

Xu Jingming picked up the kit and glanced at it. Inside was a stack of golden leaves. It was estimated that a stack of golden leaves would add up to one or two weights.

"Ten gold." Xu Jingming was a little surprised, and took out a roll of paper from his sleeve. The paper recorded in detail the annual filial piety of officials, big families, wealthy businessmen, and gangs in the jurisdiction.

"Master Yu has given too much." Xu Jingming said.

"To the former captain, Lord Yu gave 50 taels of silver, which is doubled this time." Zhang Ke nodded, "It seems that he intends to befriend the captain."

Qian Yan also touted: "This gift is ten gold. According to common sense, Lord Yu will give this number every year! Lord Yu is really generous to you, Captain."

While eating and drinking, the three of them waited for others to give gifts. At the same time, they checked the list to see who did not give, and who gave less!

After eating and drinking for a long time, everything was delivered within the jurisdiction.

Blood Rain Guard's money is the last thing you can't owe!

One dare not be less!

"A total of 2,350 taels of silver." Xu Jingming looked at the final total, in a good mood, and looked at the two captains with a smile, "Next time, we have to wait until next year, right?"

"Yes, once a year! This is the old rule." Zhang Ke nodded.

Qian Yan said in a low voice, "Actually, it can be squeezed and squeezed, and some rich businessmen can squeeze more."

"But that would break the rules." Zhang Ke said, "If it spreads out, it doesn't have a good reputation in the Blood Rain Guard, and it doesn't matter which of the wealthy businessmen in the imperial capital? It's really annoying, and there may be trouble. Yes. There may even be killers who come into our house at night, and the rabbits even bite people in a hurry."

"A group of cheap embryos can turn the sky over?" Qian Yan sneered, "Captain, we can totally stare at a rich businessman! Eat him clean!"

"Remember." Xu Jingming's voice was a little colder, and he looked at Qian Yan coldly, "We Xueyuwei do things, we have the rules of Xueyuwei! If you violate the rules... hum, Vice Captain Qian, don't Blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone!"

Qian Yan was apprehensive.

I thought that this captain might have a big backer and a great background, so I pulled the captain to make a few votes!

But obviously, this captain cherishes feathers.

"I understand, I understand." Qian Yan smiled, "The captain's future is more important."

"Ok."

After being in contact for a long time, Xu Jingming found two vice captains under his command. Zhang Ke looked burly and strong, but in fact he had a smooth personality and obeyed the rules. And Qian Yan looks rich and smiling, but in fact, he has vicious methods and disregards the rules.

In the Blood Rain Guard, there are many people who ignore the rules.

"Bang bang bang." Someone knocked on the door again.

"Captain, bring the tooth man." There is a blood rain guard with a tooth man.

The tooth man immediately kneeled respectfully: "Little, I have seen all of you adults."

"Captain, all the people who sell and rent houses in our jurisdiction are well aware of this guy." Blood Rain Guard said.

Xu Jingming nodded.

Since he took office, he couldn't stay in Fei's house all the time, he had to move out.

With my identity, I don't know how long I can live, so naturally I won't buy a house, but rent it.

The rented house is within the jurisdiction, and it is relatively quiet. Walking more than a mile, it is a prosperous place such as restaurants and tea houses.

"Just such a house, the annual rent is 50 taels. If you buy it, you will need 2,000 taels. It's not easy to live in the imperial capital! The rent is much higher than Lanyue City." Xu Jingming looked at the ordinary The house has only a few rooms, and there is a small martial arts field of half an mu behind the house, which is why Xu Jingming rented this house.

There are blood rain guards and auxiliary guards who carry furniture, quilts and other daily necessities and quickly arrange them.

"Captain, everything is arranged." Zhang Ke arranged everything, "Captain, do you really need to find two maids to serve you?"

"No, remember to buy some good wine for the brothers." Xu Jingming threw a piece of broken silver.

"Thank you, Captain."

All the blood and rain guards responded in unison, all showing joy. They are not happy for the drinks, but feel that their 'boss' still values ​​them, not stingy! Some indifferent captains... won't spend a knife coin for his subordinates at all! It's hard to work under the command of such a captain.

The guards had already left obediently, and they had nothing to drink. Blood Rain Guards and Auxiliary Guards are two different levels. How can there be a reason for the Blood Rain Guard captain to buy wine for the auxiliary guards? Xu Jingming dared to buy it, but the auxiliary guards dared not drink it.

Soon Xu Jingming was the only one left in the house.

Outside the house, there are five blood rain guards waiting for a long time! They are responsible for guarding the street, and they also listen to Xu Jingming's orders at any time.

"The filial piety in the area under the jurisdiction is about 2,300 taels per year, and the salary is 600 taels. Usually, some oil and water are saved... I'm lucky, I can save 5,000 taels a year. But I also have to spend money in many aspects. Making friends, entertaining guests, and the boss may have to share it, these expenses are not small." Xu Jingming thought, "As the captain of the Blood Rain Guard, it is not bad to have three thousand five hundred taels in one year. already."

"If you do it properly, it will take 30 years to earn 10,000 gold!"

"But in the world of blood rain, can I live for thirty years in my identity?"

Xu Jingming shook his head.

As a cosmic citizen player, since the day he served as the captain of the Blood Rain Guard, the targeting he has been subjected to has been increasing.

If you become a hundred households, the target will be raised again.

According to the information collected by oneself... the higher the official position, the harder it is to live longer!

"Captain, should we go to Wenxianglou?" A subordinate's voice came from the door.

"Go, go to Wenxiang Building." Xu Jingming invited many captains in the Qianhu Institute today, so naturally he had to arrive early.

******

Xu Jingming quickly became familiar with the life of the Blood Rain Guard captain. As the captain, he can eat, drink and play every day!

Because some of the hard work is done by the auxiliary guards, and the monitoring of the work in various places is done by the blood rain guards under his command! Only when there is a major event, will the captain report to the captain and let the captain give an order. In fact, the so-called 'major event' is unlikely to happen once every ten days or eight days.

"Days like this are really relaxing." Xu Jingming practiced his marksmanship at the martial arts training ground where he lived. He didn't go out until the sun set, and the five Blood Rain Guards outside the gate immediately followed.

All the way to Jiuweilou.

"Captain." The two vice-captains Zhang Ke and Qian Yan warmly greeted him, Xu Jingming waved his hand, and the five Blood Rain Guards behind him retreated to find a place to drink and eat.

Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan entered the Jiuwei Building.

Take a seat in the corner of the second floor.

"Captain, the 'Jiuwei' of Jiuweilou is also very famous in the imperial capital, you must try it." Zhang Ke said.

"Tell me, what happened these three days." Xu Jingming asked.

As a rule, meet every three days! The two vice-captains reported on all the work for the three days. If there is a special event... Naturally, it will be reported to Xu Jingming as soon as possible.

"The last three days in our jurisdiction have been relatively stable, that is, some brave and ruthless things, petty theft, and some people who died are also gang members, not worth mentioning. However, there are many major incidents in other parts of the imperial capital. ." Zhang Ke said.

"Come and listen." Xu Jingming listened while eating.

As time goes on…

There are more and more guests in Jiuwei Lou. At the same time, there are performances on the stage. The music is played, as if a stream is flowing through the entire restaurant, and the restaurant guests also enjoy the atmosphere.

Xu Jingming was also in a very good mood, because the music was good enough, the women performing were beautiful enough, and the Jiuwei Lou's reputation was well-deserved.

"Dong dong dong."

Suddenly, the sound of noisy footsteps sounded, which made Xu Jingming frown slightly, a slightly elegant person... At this time, when he heard the music, he should walk lightly. However, the footsteps of this group of people did not restrain at all, so they came to the second floor.

The group of people came to the second floor, a guard glanced around, stopped on Xu Jingming and the three, and still said: "All the guests on the second floor, please move your seats and go downstairs quickly! We have paid for the meal, Shen Gong's family has paid."

"Please."

One after another, the guards in gray looked at each table and urged.

"Shen Gong's house?" The guests on the second floor also had some spare money, otherwise they would not come to Jiuwei Lou for dinner. Seeing the aura of this group of people and hearing the name of "Shen Gong's Family", many of the guests immediately got up one by one.

"Captain, it's Duke Shen's family." Qian Yan whispered, "Let's go."

"Shen Gong?"

Xu Jingming glanced at the group of people.

This group of people is quite arrogant, and even the guards are arrogant!

"The Shen Gong family is one of the top wealthy families in the imperial capital, and even the emissaries of the four blood and rain guards would not dare to provoke them lightly." Xu Jingming knew very well that the Shen Gong family could rank in the top ten in the imperial capital. In the world of blood rain, they are all terrorist forces that are enough to rank in the top 20.

Even though Fei Qing is behind him, Fei Qing is powerful because the emperor supports him.

And the strength of the Shen Gong family is that the family is deeply rooted, and the emperors also appease the big clans such as prisoners.

"Captain." Zhang Ke also urged softly, "Let's go."

"go."

Xu Jingming got up.

If you conflict with Shen Gong's family, you will die.

"Senior brother, are these three Blood Rain Guards?" A man and a woman were surrounded by the crowd. The woman glanced at the three Xu Jingming who stood up and left. Xu Jingming and their robes still showed some of their official uniforms.

"It's just a bunch of mad dogs." The young man glanced at Xu Jingming and the three of them with disgust in their eyes. "A large group of Blood Rain Guards stare at me all year round. No matter how you scold them, they all keep staring at our house without saying a word."

"Even in the entire imperial capital, on the slightly famous streets, you can see these mad dogs." The young man pouted, "I didn't expect to see three mad dogs in Jiuweilou today, which is really disappointing."

Xu Jingming, Zhang Ke, and Qian Yan walked down the stairs, and clearly heard the man say 'three mad dogs'.

Qian Yan was very calm.

Zhang Ke's ears turned red.

Xu Jingming also frowned.

But the three still walked down the Jiuwei Building.

"There are no idlers, Junior Sister, I will ask the master chef of Jiuwei Lou to cook in person, and bring out their town shop Jiuwei, so that you can taste it." The young man said with a smile, "It's not anyone who can make Jiuwei taste it. Master Lou cooks."

"Oh." The woman was also very curious, enjoying the favor of her senior brother, and the pursuit of Shen Gong's children still made her feel very proud.

On the entire second floor, only one of them, a man and a woman, sat, listening to music and enjoying the food, while everyone else stood and waited.

Go outside on the street.

"It's really unfortunate, I met Mr. Shen when I had a meal." Zhang Ke vented his displeasure after leaving the restaurant.

"Children of Shen Gong's family, can we mess with us? In the eyes of others, we are dogs." Qian Yan pouted.

"It's a mad dog." Xu Jingming added.

"Captain, don't be angry, those big figures in the Imperial Capital generally don't care about us." Zhang Ke said, "This Duke Shen has an average status in Duke Shen's family, and the younger generation is not ranked in the top five, like his cousin Shen Gongshou who is less than three years old. At the age of ten, he has already reached the second rank of official residence, is highly regarded by the emperor, and has an excellent reputation. He Shen Gongfu is nothing, and has a very bad reputation, but he is very arrogant in front of us."

"No matter how arrogant he is, we have to endure it." Qian Yan shook his head, "People are born with a noble title! There is a huge Shen Gong family behind them!"

"There are a lot of people in the Shen Gong family who are in the Blood Rain Guard." Zhang Ke also said, "There are three people in the Blood Rain Guard family, and the Shen Gong family head is the prince of the country! He is an important minister of the empire! If we move our little fingers, we will be smashed to pieces. ."

Xu Jingming knew the power of Shen Gong's family because he collected intelligence from the virtual world network.

information records.

There were 3,000 dead men in Shen Gong's family participating in a battle for the imperial throne more than 300 years ago! A prince who supported him was finally pushed to the throne. All the three thousand dead men at the time were at least second-rate masters!

night.

Shen Gongfu, who stepped off the flower boat, swayed and was very comfortable.

"Young Master." The guards waited for a long time.

"Ok."

Shen Gongfu got into the carriage and asked casually, "Little lady of the Zhang family, did you get it in another courtyard?"

"He killed his husband, this little lady has been tied to another courtyard." The bodyguard whispered.

"well done."

Shen Gongfu raised his eyebrows in a very good mood and lowered the curtain of the car.

Thinking of that plump Zhang family lady, Shen Gongfu felt itchy.

"Uncle is too, only partial to his son!" Shen Gongfu looked at the carriage, his face suddenly became ugly, "His three sons are all officials, and the eldest brother is a second-rank official. The third brother is also a blood rain guard. Qianhu! What about me? I'm going to seek an official, and my uncle asked me to go to the academy to copy books? He said he wanted to grind my temper?"

"My father died early, otherwise it would be your turn to be the head of the family." Shen Gongfu thought to himself.

He was dissatisfied.

Although he was arrogant and wanton outside, he was severely suppressed in the family! He feels all kinds of injustice!

"My guards, I have to support myself! I have to pay for my house. If I hire a first-class master guard, I will get two or three thousand taels of silver a year! There are a group of top guards around my elder brother. As for me, I want Recruit yourself! Even a first-class expert is reluctant." Shen Gongfu's eyes were filled with all kinds of viciousness, and many thoughts were emerging.

His identity naturally has to maintain his face, and the monthly expenses are huge. The family's various expenses that suppressed him made Shen Gongfu even more dissatisfied.

suddenly-

Puff puff! !

Continuous sound.

"Huh?" Shen Gongfu's expression changed, he immediately opened the curtain, and saw five guards fall down. The only guard was stabbed in the chest by a shot while supporting two moves.

"Hohohoho—" The guard was pierced by the spear, and he made a pained sound. As soon as the spear was drawn, the guard fell softly to the ground.

Shen Gongfu looked at the man in black in disbelief.

The man in black came over with a bronze mask and a long spear in hand.

"Forgive your life, this hero spares your life." Shen Gongfu said, "I have money, I have money! Whoever asked you to come, I will give double!"

"Double?" The bronze masked man made a hoarse voice, "Your reward is not low."

"I have some gold here." Shen Gongfu immediately took out the kit from his arms, "There is at least one hundred gold here! Also, this precious jade of mine...is also worth at least one hundred gold. I, I...my few pieces. The banknotes are in the same text, 'autumn, wind, leaves, and snow'."

"No?" said the bronze masked man, "too few."

"No, you take me back, I still have it at home." Shen Gongfu said eagerly, "I am a son of Shen Gong's family, I have a title, you can't kill me, you kill me, you are finished! Heaven and earth... You can't escape."

"puff."

A flying knife was inserted directly between Gongfu Shen's eyebrows.

Shen Gongfu's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, which force was it that killed the children of Shen Gong's family?

The man in the bronze mask checked Gongfu Xia Shen's body a little, then picked up the kit, treasure jade, silver notes and other items in his arms, and carried the bodies of two second-rate master guards. Because the other guards were killed by throwing knives, these two guards...were killed by guns!

"Whoosh."

Carrying two corpses, the bronze masked man quickly disappeared and left.

"Plop! Plop!"

The faces of the two corpses were broken, UU reading www. uukanshu.com tied a stone and threw it into the lake.

The man in the bronze mask watched the two corpses sink, and ripples formed on the dark lake.

"The dignified son of Shen Gong's family is so arrogant and ostentatious outside... Is it enough to carry it with you?" The bronze masked man looked at the kit, "Ma Wuye is not fat, and he can be a blood rain guard for one year. With only three to five thousand taels of silver, of course I have to find another way to make money. If I kill this son of Shen Gong’s family, the income is not high.”

The bronze masked man put away his mask, revealing Xu Jingming's face.

"I'm really sorry for the reputation of Shen Gong's family for this amount of gold and silver." Xu Jingming secretly said.

Shen Gong's house, is it scary?

As a cosmic citizen player, would you be afraid?

"When will I be able to save 10,000 gold? Well, don't be in a hurry! Beware of arrogance and impatience, be steadfast, and work hard to save money slowly." Xu Jingming thought to himself, and left in a flash.
