When he was about to leave the Forbidden City, Chu Xiao had about 2000 taels of silver bills on him.
The 2000 taels is neither too much nor too little. For ordinary people, this amount of money is enough for a lifetime, but for the rich, 2000 taels may not be enough for them to buy a piece of furniture.
Although the first emperor advocated diligence and thrift, he was a nobleman in the royal family, and no matter how frugal he was, he couldn't save much. After all, they had to maintain the royal face in front of others.
Although Chu Xiao is not extravagant on weekdays, he is still very delicate and expensive. He has everything in fine clothes, jade and food. When it comes to spending money, he has no concept of "temperance" at all.
The place where he stopped along the way must be the best inn in the area.
The place to eat must also be the most famous restaurant in the area.
Ever since, in just one month, the 2000 taels of money were left by Chu Xiaohua.
After spending the last silver bill on his body and only a few dozen taels of silver left in his purse, Chu Xiao finally realized that he seemed to be in a predicament.
He could no longer afford to rent a comfortable carriage, live in a fine guest room, or even have a few good meals.
What's wrong with this?He couldn't write a letter to ask Brother Huang for help, that would be too embarrassing.
As the saying goes, there is no unparalleled road, and when Chu Xiao was worrying about money, a brand new door suddenly opened in front of him—he actually met the legendary robber!
To tell the truth, those robbers also didn't read the almanac when they went out, and it took eight lifetimes of bad luck to focus on Chu Xiao, a humanoid weapon that looks harmless on the outside but is actually extremely cruel on the inside.
Seeing that Chu Xiao had a fair and tender face, was wearing an exquisite and luxurious moiré satin robe, and was walking alone on the official road, they thought that Chu Xiao was just a big fat sheep that came to their door, He rushed up without hesitation, ready to slaughter.
The result.
Chu Xiao didn't even use a weapon, and easily overthrew the gang of robbers with his bare hands.
It's over, looking at the group of robbers with bruised noses and swollen faces, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Chu Xiao suddenly had an idea and thought of a good way to 'make money'.
He in turn robbed the gang of robbers.
The plight of having no money in his pocket was resolved in this way, and while Chu Xiao was proud of his wit, he also developed a new skill by analogy.
This skill is called 'Jiang Taigong Fishing'.
Chu Xiao used himself as a bait, deliberately pretending to be a harmless big fat sheep, and ran to those uneven places to lure the green forest bandits to come and rob them, and then rob them in turn to enrich his pockets.
As for the assassination of court officials, it was actually not in Chu Xiao's plan at the beginning.
He has a bad temper, but he's not out of his mind. How could he do something that would cause trouble for his brother?
But sometimes, the unexpected is caught off guard.
Chu Xiao never expected that there would be court officials who dared to disobey the laws and collude with those green forest bandits in private. Anyway, after he ransacked the bandit's lair with all his brains, he picked up a knife and killed a few jumping people After seeing the guy who was very happy, I realized that there was also a court official among them.
The death of the official was not wronged.
After all, according to the laws of the imperial court, if an official colludes with bandits in private, he should have been sentenced to death.
But Chu Xiao couldn't just pat his ass and leave.
People died in the bandit's den. If the news got out, not to mention whether the imperial court would pursue it, it would be easy to fool the people. The face of the court was damaged, and Emperor Qing was questioned.
So Chu Xiao had to deal with the aftermath and wipe this matter clean.
He threatened repeatedly and silenced the culprits at the scene, and then sent the official's body back home without anyone noticing, pretending to be the handwriting of a gangster killer. He swept up all the gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the other party's home.
Well, anyway, the origin of those treasures is not legitimate at first glance.
The folk customs in Daqing are tough, and everyone advocates martial arts. Over time, a huge and complex power in the rivers and lakes has formed. This power is separate from the imperial court and maintains a delicate peace with each other.
Although the imperial court has the ability to suppress the forces of the rivers and lakes, it will waste people's money and damage its own strength, so it has always turned a blind eye to the forces of the rivers and lakes.
Under normal circumstances, the imperial court will not easily intervene in the affairs of the world.
As for a small seventh-rank official, who was also an official who was cast aside by the local people because of his misconduct, his death by a gangster assassin was naturally not a big deal for the imperial court.
As Chu Xiao expected, the incident ended quietly without even a splash.
Based on the previous lessons learned, it stands to reason that Chu Xiao should have learned to be restrained, keep a low profile, and act carefully, but the large amount of spoils gave Chu Xiao a small thought that was eager to move and could not be restrained.
What is the court most lacking now?money!
What is the fastest way to get money?Copy the house!
However, a small seventh-rank county official can amass wealth worth millions in private, so what about those corrupt officials with higher ranks?Thinking of Emperor Qing who was worried all day because of the vacancy of the national treasury, Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, making a straightforward decision to continue to use this method to fill the treasury.
Since then, Chu Xiao has acquired an additional identity when walking the rivers and lakes: a killer, a killer who specializes in punishing rape and killing evil, and assassinating corrupt officials.
Chu Xiao: Thinking about it, I’m a little proud =v=
Chu Xiao, who just finished a "big deal" two days ago, silently counted his purse, and decided to reward himself well today.
He is going to have a full meal at the most famous restaurant in the city.
The most famous restaurant in Jiangnan City is Zuixianju in the east of the city.
And Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and Chu Liuxiang also happened to be in Zuixianju at this time.
The local people in the south of the Yangtze River all know that the seventh child of the Hua family is a warm and hospitable person. No matter who enters his small building, he is willing to offer a pot of hot tea to entertain the other party.
Even if he entertained passers-by with such thoughtfulness, how much more so for a distinguished guest like Chu Liuxiang?
Zuixianju has an old daughter Hong, as well as chefs who are good at cooking various cuisines. Naturally, there will be no neglect in entertaining distinguished guests here.
Most of the Jianghu boys like to drink, Lu Xiaofeng is like this, and so is Chu Liuxiang.
Although Huamanlou loves green tea more, he can enjoy drinking with the two of them.
Zuixianju has private rooms exclusively for distinguished guests. The famous richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, the seventh son of the Hua family, Hua Manlou, naturally has the right to choose a quiet private room for entertaining guests.
But the three of them finally chose to sit in the lobby on the second floor.
They were sitting by the window, amidst the bustling noise around them, drinking and having fun, while admiring the bustling market outside the window, it was quite a pleasure.
Lu Xiaofeng drank the fine wine with a leisurely expression, his eyes wandering around the passing crowd downstairs.
He likes to observe others, no matter men and women, old people or children, for Lu Xiaofeng, this is a very interesting and meaningful thing.
Joy, anger, sorrow, joy, and the various states of the world are all contained in every move of these people.
It was at this moment that Chu Xiao broke into Lu Xiaofeng's sight.
He chewed the candy man crunchily, followed the flow of people towards Zui Xianju, and looked around as he walked, as if he was surprised by everything around him, with a slightly childish face. It is full of novelty and joy that cannot be hidden.
He looked like a very ordinary young man who had just entered the rivers and lakes.
Even the finely crafted and well-made Chinese dress he was wearing was no longer so conspicuous against the background of the wealthy people in the past.
But Lu Xiaofeng not only saw him at a glance, but also couldn't look away for a long time.
"Young people today are really amazing."
Lu Xiaofeng sighed softly as if talking to himself.
Looking down from his angle, he could clearly see Chu Xiao's every move.
In the eyes of passers-by on the street, Chu Xiao is just an ordinary boy, but in the eyes of those who know how to do it, Chu Xiao is a master who is too young.
He seems to be walking freely among the crowd, but wherever he walks, passers-by on both sides will subconsciously give way to the side. This small trick seems simple, but it is not. It is absolutely impossible to retract freely.
At least, when Lu Xiaofeng was sixteen or seventeen years old, he still couldn't do this.
Chu Liuxiang followed Lu Xiaofeng's gaze, and also took this scene into his eyes.
His experience is richer than Lu Xiaofeng's, so he sees more things than Lu Xiaofeng sees.
"This person should be a master of hidden weapons, look at his left hand."
Chu Xiao's right hand was holding onto the small wooden stick of the sticky man, but his left hand was hanging by his side all the time. The slightly wide sleeve robe drooped slightly, almost completely covering his hands, only half of his palm was exposed.
Between the fingers of the half of the palm, there was a hint of cold light.
"Is that... the blade?"
Lu Xiaofeng guessed with some hesitation.
"That's a very special kind of thin blade." Chu Liuxiang nodded slightly, and explained in a low voice: "It is said that anyone who is good at using hidden weapons will have a very small and thin sharp blade on his body, no longer than half a finger long, shaped like Willow leaves, the blade has no handle, the blades are cut on both sides, you can only hold it with your knuckles, it can kill people invisible."
After hearing these words, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up immediately.
He and Chu Liuxiang had secretly checked the body of the chief envoy.
There was only one wound on the corpse, which was at the deadly throat. The wound was very thin. From the surface, there was only a bloodstain, which looked like a stabbing mark with a sword.
But if you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that it is not a sword wound.
An extremely small and thin blade can also create such wounds.
Could this boy be the killer they were looking for?
The author has something to say: It looks like a razor blade, please note: it looks like a willow leaf!Willow leaves!Willow leaves! (Then how can a weapon that does not have a strong style be worthy of our high-end atmosphere and high-grade madly flamboyant little ╭(╯^╰)╮
