Chapter 382 Throwing yourself into my arms
"What do you think of this house?"

Tan Wenjie walked around with his hands behind his back. There were pavilions, gardens, ponds, and a grape trellis in the backyard, ready to be hung with a swing.

He likes swinging the most.

"Although the house is small, it's barely enough to live in for a while." He nodded gently, "If we squeeze in a little, it will be more lively at home."

"..."

The old man who came with him twitched his mouth. He was helping the owner to look after the house and usually lived in the gatehouse for money.

It sounded like Tan Wenjie was not satisfied, but he couldn't figure out how big a house he would need to be satisfied. He was always worried just sweeping the floor.

"If you decide to stay here, I will go find the master. Do you need some servants to serve you?"

Tan Wenjie nodded: "Then I'll trouble you, Lao Qin."

After leaving Prince Su's Mansion, Tan Wenjie randomly picked a place to live, preparing to go to Fengdu next year under the name of a wizard.

The town was remote, which made it convenient for him to stay at home and study magic.

The sky was slightly dark, with the night half covering the sky above, and only the red glow in the west barely supporting the view.

"Lao Qin, is there a job market here?" Tan Wenjie followed Lao Qin. He saw that Lao Qin was a warm-hearted person. "If you don't look at the houses here, where else do you want to go?"

"There is a shortage of everything here, except for empty houses. I can guard a house until I die." Lao Qin patted his chest, then shook his head and sighed, "During the chaos of war, all the rich people who could escape have fled."

Tan Wenjie nodded. He had seen the world in chaos too many times, and this era was even worse than A Chinese Ghost Story. In this world, at least he could eat meat noodles in a restaurant.

He looked again at Lao Qin's left hand hidden in his sleeve.

"I had a serious illness when I was a child." Lao Qin covered his left hand and smiled, "I was afraid of disgusting people, so I usually kept it hidden."

"It's not easy for either one." Tan Wenjie retracted his gaze, but his tone was meaningful.

Without a housekeeper, I have to go in person to buy anything.

I didn't expect that there is a talent market here, where you can choose any job you want. Tan Wenjie has never done this kind of work before, so he just spends money.

Looking at the boy guarding outside, if I hadn’t told you, I’d have thought he was a soldier.

Tan Wenjie patted the other person's chest and said, "Wow, it's pretty solid."

The servant's expression froze, he forced a smile awkwardly, and bent down and knelt.

"I won't go in." said Lao Qin.

Just then someone came forward to greet him. Tan Wenjie nodded slightly to Lao Qin and followed him in.

In the talent market, the main focus is still on looking at information.

Occasionally, there are people hanging around here waiting for a job, and the chances of being picked are very high.

Tan Wenjie was looking through the documents while someone on the opposite side was recording his requests.

"Chef, my tastes vary, one person is definitely not enough, it would be best if you have been a royal chef."

"The maids and the old women who do the laundry and cleaning cannot look too different. I am obsessed with looks."

"Guarding the house..."

Tan Wenjie casually stated his request. He wanted to pretend to be a nouveau riche without having to act. He just needed to return to his previous state. No one was more nouveau riche than him.

From the moment Lao Qin spotted him, he gave up his plan of renting a house and settling down.

Just at this time, a young woman and a middle-aged woman happened to come to the job market.

"Is my previous method not working?"

The middle-aged woman whispered, "Although your face is not as good as mine when I was young, it is still a little bit pretty. If you shed a few tears, those men will be eager to take you back and feed you with good food and drink. Can we meet rich men by applying for the position of maidservant here?"

The young woman rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, the man I met last time when I sold myself to bury my mother was a pauper. Have you forgotten? Whether he is rich or not cannot be judged by what he says outside, but by how many servants he has at home."

"You're right."

The mother and daughter were whispering to each other when they heard someone talking about hiring a cook.

"Invite one chef from each of Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, Huaiyang and other provinces."

"At least sixteen maids are needed. The house I just bought needs to be more lively. But the maids you have here are not good-looking. Find new ones!"

The mother and daughter who were listening looked at each other.

Rich people, fat sheep!

Tan Wenjie glanced at the guy standing next to him. There were calluses on his hands, as if they were caused by holding something in his hand, and they were located at the base of his thumb.

If the other party is not a skilled worker in related software hardening, he must practice with the knife if he wants to have such calluses.

My acting skills are too poor, I need to practice more.

"Do you want a book boy?"

"Bookboy?"

He is very familiar with pretending to be a scholar.

Looking at the coquettish servant boy standing beside him, Tan Wenjie's heart skipped a beat. Wow, it turns out that the servant boys here don't look serious. Do I have to be responsible for helping them open their eyes?

He is not a kind-hearted person.

Tan Wenjie wanted to withdraw and leave. He was used to being kind to others. He didn't think of leaving and then coming back at midnight tonight to kill everyone. He definitely didn't think of robbing the rich and helping the poor to expand his own wealth after taking action.

He is not a petty person.

After talking for a while, relying on his natural nouveau riche and dandy air to scare people, he was about to turn around and leave, but when he passed by a woman, he suddenly heard her scream "Ouch!"

The man fell straight towards Tan Wenjie.

Tan Wenjie reacted quickly and took half a step back to create some distance. Preventing fraud was a necessary operation. Besides, the girl opposite him was pretty and had a sweet voice. Although he considered himself handsome, he did not believe that it would be a good thing for him to throw himself into her arms.

It is too superficial to be obsessed with your handsome appearance. You can't see anything in such a dim candlelight, unless the other person likes black people.

So, there is a fraud.

The "Ouch" just now was very exaggerated. The woman did not expect that Tan Wenjie would actually take the initiative to dodge it. The second "Ouch" she uttered when she fell to the ground was a sincere and heartfelt cry of pain.

Tan Wenjie took a quick glance. Although it was not very clear under the candlelight, the other person's measurements were roughly... No, it was an acquaintance's face.

She looks very similar to Gao Doudou, and there is a Madam Wang beside her.

It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. It seems that there is a plot, but the mission has not been activated yet.

slipped.

"Hey, daughter, the person is gone." The middle-aged woman poked her daughter.

"You are so dumbfounded that you look like a piece of wood. Help me up. Hiss."

"I don't think they are stupid. I have seen such upright people before. Don't be fooled by their righteous appearance. Once they get into bed, they are as scoundrel as they can be."

In the blink of an eye, Tan Wenjie's figure completely disappeared from sight.

The guy next to them just came over to ask a few questions, but saw the mother and daughter supporting each other and leaving quickly.

"That's not right for mother and daughter."

"Don't worry about it, just arrest him first. He is very difficult to deal with and should not be underestimated."

The mother and daughter left the job market and found a chair on the side of the road to sit down.

"We are both thieves, but we are not famous." The woman gently pounded her knees, her eyes yearning, "Look at that Tan Wenjie, he killed all the retainers of Prince Su, stole the glass jar bestowed by the emperor, and when he left, he said, 'I can come and go freely in the palace, even the palace can't stop me'."

"What's the point of being a thief? A thief has to be sneaky." The middle-aged woman didn't care. "When I was young, I was the most beautiful woman in the world. Do you think I keep talking about it?"

you have.

"It's different if you're rich and famous. In just one month, he stole jade screens, government silver for disaster relief, and even a concubine's jewelry box in Hangzhou that was stolen appeared overnight in a flea market 500 miles away. Even Chen Jinnan felt inferior to him when he mentioned him."

"How could there be such a person in the world? It must be a rumor." The middle-aged woman said, "Running hundreds of miles with furniture in one night? Could he be a god?"

"Don't you still say that you are the most beautiful woman in the world?"

"Hehe, rumors in the martial arts world can sometimes be believed." Suddenly, there was a flash of golden light, and the woman noticed that her mother was looking at something furtively, so she leaned over to take a look.

"What a big piece of gold. Where did you get it from?"

"Those guys just now looked ordinary, but I didn't expect they had valuable stuff on them."

"We agreed to split it in half when we meet."

The woman suddenly said, "Not good, we have to leave quickly."

The middle-aged woman said, "Why are you leaving? The arrogant guy we just met is very rich. Let's find out his background and make some money before leaving."

"That group of guys are not simple. It is impossible for ordinary people to carry gold cakes. Once they find out that they have been stolen, they will definitely not let us go."

"That's true." The middle-aged woman nodded and suggested, "Let's leave at dawn tomorrow. Why don't we go over and steal again tonight?"

"That's it!"

The mother and daughter hit it off immediately.

It is not in their way to make money to not make use of the unexpected fortune, so they might as well make some money before the truth is exposed.

They returned to the inn where they were hiding, changed into night clothes, and prepared to wait until the moon was up over the branches before setting off in the middle of the night.

……

On the other side, Tan Wenjie entered an inn under Lao Qin's enthusiastic introduction.

As expected, most doormen are not honest. Although he never believed that they were good people, he was not disappointed.

He declined the take-out service offered by the store because he didn't like doing business where he would be taken advantage of after paying.

After entering the room, Tan Wenjie changed into a white nightgown.

It doesn't matter whether the night clothes are black or white, as long as you kill everyone who sees you, it will be a perfect stealth.

Covering your face with a white cloth is a ritual.

He wasn't that well prepared and made several sets of clothes, one of which was white, but he didn't like it very much.

Mr. Tan is very vulgar and likes bright red. When drawing the lottery, red has the highest rarity and white has the lowest, which is not a good sign.

When he made this suit, he just wanted to pretend to be a cool swordsman, but his body became stronger and stronger. Although he was not as fat as a mountain of flesh, he looked vigorous and strong. Putting on the white suit, he did not look weak and cool at all, but instead looked like a general in a robe.

He opened the window, jumped out, and headed straight for the job market.

I have run so far but there are still people targeting me. If I don't make an example of them, I will never live in peace in the future.

It was all his fault that he didn't have the channels to speak out. He was framed and couldn't clarify the matter. He could only suffer in silence and helped Chen Jinnan to share a lot of firepower for no reason.

In the talent market, the lights have gone out, but a group of people are sharpening their knives.

We're going to do something big tonight.

There are only two rebels in the underworld who can make them be so alert. One is Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Tiandihui who has been famous in the underworld for a long time. It is rumored that this person is very handsome and grand every time he appears, but no one knows his actual strength because everyone he meets has died.

The second person is Hong Xiguan, who wields a deadly throat-locking spear. Even if he is surrounded by dozens of people, he can still kill his opponents with the spear.

The third one is the newly emerged Tan Wenjie, who is said to have appeared together with Chen Jinnan. He is a top-notch new master and a major threat to the court.

Moreover, the other party has been too rampant recently and has caused too many big troubles, from stealing the jewelry boxes of rich men's concubines to stealing official silver and imperial gifts, etc. He has done all kinds of evil.

Someone has calculated that Tan Wenjie committed more than 200 crimes in one month, an average of seven crimes a day. The scope of his crimes spanned the country, and he was the number one threat in the eyes of the court.

For this purpose they had made sufficient preparations. The number of people doubled to a total of one hundred. All of them were masters in the army and good at forming formations. Any martial arts master would become a weakling in front of them.

They originally planned to trick Tan Wenjie into staying with them, then pretend to be his servants and sneak up on him at night.

Experts are good at flying high and will fly away if they sense something is wrong, so an ambush is the best way to deal with it.

"somebody is coming!"

The crowd that was preparing to form a formation to besiege the inn where Tan Wenjie was suddenly saw a masked man in white clothes striding towards them under the moonlight.

The cold moonlight falls on its body, reflecting white light.

"Who is coming!"

"The leader of the Tiandihui, Chen Jinnan!" Tan Wenjie flew forward.

You don't even have the nerve to say you are Chen Jinnan!

Besides, Chen Jinnan uses a sword.

Tan Wenjie raised his hand, and the sword energy spun in his palm, then turned into a flying disc and flew forward with a flick of his hand.

The crowd, who had never seen such a strange visual move, immediately raised their shields to resist.

There was a clanging sound, and half of him fell down, with the shield in his hand deformed.

"Form a formation!" someone shouted.

But Tan Wenjie had already rushed in front of them with his fists swung, and the sound of thunder exploded like spring thunder, and the military formation that had not yet been formed was shattered.

In just one encounter, most of the people fell down, leaving only two or three kittens, holding shields in their left hands and long swords in their right hands, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

……

Two sneaky figures approached.

"It seems like there's a fight!"

"Wearing white clothes at night means you are not in your right mind. You should wear night clothes."

The mother and daughter whispered to each other.

"What kind of martial arts is that?"

They looked at the people who were forming the shield formation as if they were made of paper. They were sent flying backwards with just a slight touch of their fists, and even more than 20 people in the row behind them were knocked away.

In the blink of an eye, there were only a few people left standing.

Those people turned around and tried to run, but they saw the man in white lightly lift the knife on the ground with his toes. A whistling sound was heard, and it pierced through those people who happened to be running in a straight line.

The man in white took a look at the mother and daughter, and they immediately came out with a wry smile.

"Hero Chen, good evening, you should come out to bask in the moonlight too."

Tan Wenjie looked at the two of them.

Although the two of them had their heads and faces covered, leaving only their eyes exposed, he was familiar with them and could recognize them by their voices.

The two people who had previously gone to the job market to pretend to fall and commit fraud turned out to be a female thief.

Only after he saw the two men retreat uncomfortably and distance themselves from each other did he bend down to search the body.

There are so many gold cakes, it seems that we should distribute money to boost morale before taking action.

The mother and daughter watched from the side: "Mom, is that really Chen Jinnan?"

"That's normal. Chen Jinnan is the chief leader, and he has so many people under him who need to eat. He definitely won't just kill people and walk away."

"right."

Rumors in the underworld cannot be trusted. It turns out that Chen Jinnan is not only not free and easy, but also a money-grubber.

Disenchanted.

As soon as I turned around, the other party had disappeared without a trace.

It's amazing that a whole street of people died last night, but when I opened my eyes the next day, the ground was clean again, as if nothing had happened.

"dong dong"

Tan Wenjie got up early, knocked on the door, and woke up the sleepy Lao Qin.

He was never petty, really.
