Chapter 788: Killing Permit
Chapter 788: Killing Permit
Get it!
Liang Quzhen wiped the dust off his sleeves and walked out of the palace.
The warm wind gradually dissipated, and the cold wind blew, wrapping the flying snow and stirring the bracelets on the waist, making them jingle.
The river is full of painted boats hung with colorful lanterns, which are reflected in the water. The beautiful singing voices are like petals blown up to the sky by the wind, floating in the air.
"call."
A long puff of white mist came out from his mouth and nose.
Liang Qu patted the railing gently.
The Holy Emperor said nothing, and yet he said everything.
"Muddy water, muddy water."
The old monk is a wandering monk.
In order to kill the evil monk in the Snow Mountain, he chased for most of Dashun with a "ruined dantian". In order to kill the last disciple of the evil monk, he stayed in Pingyang Prefecture for several years.
If Jian Zhongyi had not thrown out the Blue Lake incident to save his life, he had no doubt that the old monk would have burst into the government office that day and killed Jian Zhongyi on the spot.
People are born this way, with complicated relationships and emotions, mixed with conflicts of interest.
No one can solve it.
Fortunately, I grew up quickly.
Today's "openness of heart" will avoid more than just future troubles!
Loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, filial piety, and wisdom!
What is a five-good youth?
How could the Holy Emperor not be happy?
Maybe they are secretly happy in the Qinzheng Hall!
Strolling along the Ji Shui River to Longjin Bridge, Liang Qu hummed a little tune, took out a stack of copper coins, gave two earthenware jars of brain meat to Long Yao and Long Li, and took out a silver bean as a deposit.
"I'll send it to you tomorrow."
"Sir, you look familiar. Are you a friend of General Meng?" The shopkeeper said casually while wiping the table. "Why pay a deposit for a few earthenware pots? Just take them home and eat them. I'll send them whenever you are free. Just come and take care of our business often in the future."
"You remember me?" Liang Qu was surprised. He and Meng Qiang had only been here a few times.
“I can’t forget it.”
"Haha, fine, I don't want the silver beans anymore, I'll give it to you as a reward!"
"Okay, thank you! Take a break, I'll put two more cans on!"
When her husband called out, his wife quickly pulled out a wet reed rope, tied the opening of the earthen jar, and put it into Liang Qu's hands.
The small stall was filled with white mist. The husband tidied up for a while, then lifted the baffle and added firewood to the earthen stove. You could feel the warmth just by touching it. Everyone's face was red, and I didn't know whether they were cold or happy.
Everyone has their own happiness.
Bells jingled and clay pots bumped against each other. Liang Qu picked up the braided rope and walked to the door unsteadily, then paused.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Liang's house.
A middle-aged man and a young man, dressed in gorgeous clothes with white jade pendants on their waists, looked like father and son, standing under the eaves, with a few pale snowflakes on their clothes, talking in low voices.
What do you mean?
Standing in the snow at Liangmen?
"Lord Xingyi!"
When Liang Qu saw the two men, the two men also saw Liang Qu.
"You two are..."
"Marquis An Ning, Li Shunfeng." The middle-aged Li Shunfeng bowed and saluted, then introduced the young man next to him, "My son Li Fenghua."
"It's Lord Li, Young Master Li who's here to visit." Liang Qu had never heard of the two people, but he was always kind to others, so he pretended to have heard and opened the door, "Since you're here, why are you standing at the door?"
"It's just a small matter. There's no need to sit down and talk for a long time. I heard that Lord Liang came to the palace to discuss something. However, it was getting dark, and Lord Liang would not stay overnight in the palace. I thought I would just wait at the door. It seemed like I stood there for a long time, but it was less than half an hour."
Go around the shadow wall.
Long Yao and Long Li noticed the noise and went out. They were surprised to see the earthenware jar in Liang Qu's hand. But when they saw the two people behind them, they quickly restrained themselves.
In front of the Dragon Girl, Li Fenghua's eyes became wide involuntarily. Fortunately, the weather was cold and the wind was blowing. He knew that they were in someone else's house, so he lowered his head and dared not look any more.
Liang Qu handed over the earthenware pot: "Don't be in a hurry to eat, go and pour tea."
"I know, I know." Long Yao drawled out the tone.
Tea mist billows.
The three of them sat around a small round table and exchanged pleasantries.
"I still don't know why Lord Li came here?"
"I come here to make the elixir." Li Shunfeng went straight to the point.
"Alchemy?"
"Lord Liang came to the capital this time to seek the great elixir, right?" "That's true, but how does Lord Li know?"
"To be honest, in the past two years, the schedules of the alchemy masters in the Danfang have been almost fully booked. Sir Liang, if you cut in line, someone will be delayed.
What a coincidence, the one that was extended was my Longevity Pill, and not just once. I asked for this pill last year, and it was also Lord Liang who asked for it at that time."
Liang Qu was surprised.
“Wait until last year until this year?”
"Since Lord Xingyi, others have intervened several times." Li Shunfeng lamented, "I thought everything would be fine before the New Year this year, but by some strange coincidence..."
Liang Qu was embarrassed.
"Queue-jumping" is shameful to say the least, not to mention being found out by the real owner.
Without waiting for him to express his opinion.
"I'm seeking the Longevity Pill for my mother. She's getting old this year. If I don't get the pill soon, her children and grandchildren will be worried. The Holy Emperor has said that no one dares to cut in line. If you take the initiative to move one place back, my pill will be ready. Don't worry, Lord Xingyi, I will never let you suffer any loss." Li Shunfeng turned around.
Li Fenghua unfolded a large silver note and handed it over respectfully.
"It won't take too long to refine the Wanshou Pill. Including the rest time, it will be ready within a month. The 10,000 taels on the table are your compensation for the one-month delay."
Ten thousand taels in exchange for getting the elixir a month later.
Liang Qu deduced the main points of the incident.
The flesh and blood of the Octopus King is highly active, so there is no need to worry about the loss of essence.
No-cost business, no loss.
sure.
"Cutting the queue" brought out the silver bill!
After defeating the Octopus King, Liang Qu spent a lot of money, and his net worth fell below the 100,000 mark to just over 90,000. Including this 10,000, it could rise back to six figures.
The higher the level of cultivation, the higher the price of recovery pills. After a tough battle, it is common to spend tens of thousands of pills alone.
Don't worry about selling wine, you have money in your pocket.
It’s good to have money, everything comes conveniently.
"Lord Li's filial piety is a gift to heaven and earth. Don't worry! I, Liang, will take care of this matter!"
……
The wheels rolled, crushing the snow.
"Father, is the longevity pill really that important? I think my grandmother is in good spirits..." Li Fenghua hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. If it really mattered, people wouldn't cut in line at will."
Li Fenghua was stunned.
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount.
"Why do you think I had to bring you here in the middle of winter?" Li Shunfeng sighed, "Is it because the ten thousand taels of silver is too heavy for me to carry?"
Li Fenghua said embarrassedly: "I thought my father was not happy to see his son lying at home..."
Li Shunfeng laughed: "I don't like you, so I brought you out to meet Lord Xingyi. Do you know how many people out there want to give money to Lord Xingyi?"
"There must be a lot." Li Fenghua said without hesitation, "I know he is the youngest great martial artist in Dashun, and he should also be the youngest grandmaster."
"Now you are smarter, but it's hard to take money from outside. Otherwise, why don't you give the money to the beggars on the street? If you take it for no reason, you will owe him a favor. One day, you will have to pay back the favor. Xingyi Bo, Xingyi Bo, think more about everything. Why did he get such a title?"
"So we find an excuse to make an elixir and give it to someone who doesn't owe us a favor?"
"I'm holding a pig's head and can't find the temple gate. It's just such a coincidence. I got the news today. I'd better seize the opportunity."
"I think there must be something fishy about coming to give money to the elders for no reason!"
Long Yao bit into the beef and muttered.
"If it's that urgent, why would they let people postpone it for a whole year?" Liang Qu laughed.
When he heard that it had been a whole year, he felt that something was wrong. A delay of one time was normal, but it had been delayed for almost a year, and there must be something wrong with at least seven or eight big pills.
How can you allow someone to cut in line seven or eight times?
Li Shunfeng was a marquis after all, either his family had fallen into poverty, but the Dashun Dynasty had only been established for decades, and unless someone had committed a crime, it would be impossible for their family to fall into poverty so quickly, or else the Wanshou Pill was indeed not important, so the queue was completely normal, and no money was given to the alchemist to expedite it.
Long Li stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the meat: "Why did the elder accept his money if he knew it?"
"It's a waste if you don't take it. The money is not expensive anyway. Okay, let's stay in the capital for one more night tonight. We'll pack up tomorrow morning and go back to Pingyang to celebrate the New Year!"
"Ah, so fast?" Long Yao and Long Li hugged the earthen jar reluctantly.
"There's nothing to do in Liudi. If you like eating, we can come back in March or April."
Originally, I could get the elixir in two months after the New Year, but now Lord Li has put forward a silver note of ten thousand taels.
The Great Dane won't be available until March.
There was a gap of more than two months in between, and it was meaningless to stay in the imperial capital alone.
It just so happened that Liang Qu needed to go home and tell the old monk the good news that he had obtained the killing permit!
