Chapter 1206 insatiable greed

Outside the pavilion, Tian Wenhai took two of his confidant family members to guard it, and occasionally took a look inside.∈♀

A high platform was built in the hexagonal pavilion, and the altar was filled with various magical instruments and things used for casting spells, as well as a Taoist Bagua stove.

Young Master Yan, wearing a seven-star robes, burned talisman paper on the stage, muttered something, and asked Zhu Kui to come up and salute. The two knelt down and murmured to the heaven and earth, and then recited mantras in all directions.

"Brother, please take a closer look at my approach."

After Mr. Yan said to Zhu Kui, he took out an incision of about ten taels of silver from his arms with a serious expression. He stretched out two points to give a spell, put it in a clay pot, and then took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, and put it into the jar, and put it in some black powder into the jar, sealed the mouth with a red cloth, pointed at the mouth of the jar and recited the spell.

Zhu Kui excitedly followed the instructions he taught in his heart, but unfortunately he couldn't remember them. At this time, Young Master Yan ordered the Taoist boy to come and cause fire. Soon the flames in the Bagua furnace burned wildly. Young Master Yang suddenly put the clay pot in and smiled and said, "Okay, it's clear for a day and night. Let's go out for half an hour. Only one or two mature and steady people are left here to guard the charcoal fire. Don't talk or move around, nor can you let the unclean person come in and watch."

"That's natural." Zhu Kui waved to Tian Wenhai and the other two. He had already issued an order that no one could enter and exit the garden.

After the explanation, the two came out and returned to the study. Tian Wenhai saw that there was nothing to watch, so he followed him trotted and invited Mr. Yan to sit on the couch for tea.

Zhu Kui couldn't help asking, "Just just now, my brother said that it will be clear in one day and a night. I wonder how many times the silver can be refined after the silver is melted?"

"Haha." Young Master Yan explained with a smile: "It only takes one day and one night for more than ten taels of silver. If it is too much, it will take forty-nine days. I saw that the silver I put down was called the Silver Mother, which was used by the method, so in one day and night, the medicine can refine the Silver Mother thoroughly. One can obtain ten. At this time tomorrow, it can be refined into more than one hundred taels of silver."

Ten taels of silver cost one hundred taels, one hundred taels cost one thousand taels, one thousand taels cost ten thousand taels, and ten thousand taels cost one hundred thousand taels? Zhu Kui and Tian Wenhai were ecstatic in their hearts. They had met a living god and obtained a treasure pot!

Mr. Yan smiled at their excited expressions and said leisurely: "It is not easy to cast spells. Taoism emphasizes that sincerity is spiritual. The so-called sincerity refers to the unparalleled vulture of the heart. Therefore, if the practice is distracting thoughts at one time, it will consume life and it will be difficult to succeed. This time I only refine a hundred taels of silver, which is a big deal. Because I want to teach my brother this method, I will refine it as soon as possible so that my brother can see it with his own eyes. I believe that I am not a lie."

Seeing that he was so cautious, Zhu Kui couldn't help but believe it. Besides, he was a waste of time and was extremely happy, and he showed a look of gratitude on his face.

The problem is that although I wish I could finish my studies immediately, I could squander millions of dollars at will, because I was worried that I would not be good at learning, or that I would not teach them all, or that I had no talent for roots and bones. Not only did I want to lose the effect, but I was afraid that I would not be able to refine it even after I learned it. Who made me greedy?

Isn't it a waste of my efforts when the other person leaves in a few days? Zhu Kui's thoughts were heard and thought that if he saw that he was refined tomorrow, all this was true, then I would just ask him to practice again. Prepare 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver, wouldn't he be able to refine 100,000 or 200,000? Even if I can't learn it, it's enough to get so much money in vain.

Making up his mind, Zhu Kui said with a smile: "I have a ruthless request for my brother. I hope my brother will forgive me. Don't laugh at me. I want to ask my brother to refine it again. I try my best to raise more money, so I can use this to keep my brother lingering for a few more days, and help me earlier, because I am afraid of being stupid by nature. Therefore, after 49 days of study, why worry about not being able to learn?"

Young Master Yan said happily: "Brother is intent, you and my confidant, why are you afraid of the work of forty-nine days? Well, brother will prepare ten thousand gold tomorrow, and the more you will be, the better. I will burn it and teach the martial arts. In my spare time, I will also have to trouble me to take me to visit the famous places and historical sites in Jinling."

"Thank you, brother, why don't you take you to the palace for me?" Zhu Kui was overjoyed.

"Then there is no need." Young Master Yan laughed.

After dinner, Mr. Yan rested for a while and then went to the pavilion to make a recipe. He ordered some charcoal fire to return to the study and sit quietly.

Zhu Kui pulled Tian Wenhai outside and said, "I'm afraid I can't learn, so I ask someone to practice again. I plan to do it all the time and prepare 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in silver. You also know that I don't have money now, but how can I miss this great opportunity? Now there is only one plan. Tomorrow morning, you can pull out the warehouse and the screen tables and chairs on the backstairs and sell them secretly. You think it's good to sell 10,000 taels. It's too unreasonable to have too much. By the way, what's the way to do it? Let's borrow 18,000 taels for the time being, 200,000 is 200,000! You must not lose the opportunity."

Tian Wenhai pondered: "I have a way, but if I do it, I will refine the money in the future. I will have to pay more money after I have been born late. At that time, the boss should not be stingy and deceive me into working hard for nothing."

"You guy." Zhu Kui pointed at him and cursed: "When did I deceive you?"

Tian Wenhai said: "I'm not afraid that the boss will lie to me. It's best to explain the matters involved in money. Please pay more attention." After that, he turned around and went to the pavilion.

"Can it be true?" Zhu Kui stood in the yard and murmured to himself. It was probably at his own home that Tian Wenhai and two confidant servants were guarding him. Mr. Yan was not that kind of person.

He looked up at the starry sky. Zhu Kui thought to himself that if he had learned it, he would use the money to help the poor. Anyway, it was given by God, so he could not be punished by God for not losing a penny.

He bowed to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and he happily went to chat with Master Yan. In the middle of the night, Master Yan took the stage to burn talismans and chant mantras, and told Tian Wenhai, "Be careful when you come at night, fire cannot be eliminated."

After finishing his business, he said goodbye to Zhu Kui and asked to go back to his residence, and agreed to come again tomorrow. Zhu Kui saw that he would not stay overnight and would not want beautiful girls to sleep with him. He was really a master.

He also worked all day long, and before going to bed, he told Tian Wenhai, "Don't delay things tomorrow, and you have to do more confidential things. Don't be known by the Xu family, nor can you be told by Mr. Yan that the money was obtained by selling loans, otherwise you will definitely laugh at me."

"I understand." Tian Wenhai agreed with a smile.

In the early morning of the next day, Tian Wenhai, who had not slept for a night, vented his breath and took seven or eight old men from the Zhu family, secretly opened the warehouse, went to the upper room of the Zhu family, opened the back building, moved out some tables, chairs, screens, etc., loaded three carriages, and directly pulled them to a famous pawn shop.

Tian Wenhai walked in first, bowed and said, "Shopkeeper, I have some good wood furniture. I wonder if the Guibao store can collect it?"

There was no customer so early in the morning. The shopkeeper came out and smiled and said, "Where is the furniture? Let me admire it. If it is the best, I will accept it all."

Tian Wenhai smiled reservedly and said to the outside, "Please carry things in."

The shopkeeper and the guys opened their mouths and watched the pieces of furniture move in. Everyone was shocked. It turned out that these furniture was too rare. Soon the owner also came to the house and saw that the room was full of fine wood such as rosewood, iron, nanmu, etc. The carving texture of the furniture was extremely particular. Everyone knew that the deal was not small.

The boss quickly ordered the guys to give up their seats and serve tea and water, and politely asked Tian Wenhai to come in and talk in detail.

After celebrating the tea, the owner said, "If you really look down on the shop, please give me a price."

Tian Wenhai put down the teacup and smiled and said, "If you don't really want to sell it, can you bring these expensive and heavy things out? But the price is wrong. I will never sell them. I must ask for good prices. To be honest, these items are all from the Zhu family of Chengguo Duke. Each of them is the best wood for weight loss. You can't buy them even if you search for Jinling."

"It turns out to be a property from the Zhu family, no wonder." The boss nodded frequently when he heard this. Who doesn't know what happened to the Zhu family? But the industry has its own rules, so he won't ask for details. "Then are you planning to sell this batch of things?"

"The current period of three months." Tian Wenhai finished vaguely and added, "This is the order of the second young master Zhu."

The boss naturally had a way to verify it and said with a smile: "Okay, please offer a price."

As long as it is a pawn and sells things, no matter how good the baby is, it is not worth it. This batch of furniture is not antiques, and it is necessary to sell it directly. It is necessary to wait for money to use it urgently. Therefore, both parties are tacit about this, and the actual price is about 40,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.

Tian Wenhai stretched out two fingers, "At least 20,000 taels."

The boss immediately shook his head and said, "How can you be worth so much money? It's enough to create new ones! You will be given up to 8,500 taels. If you are not satisfied, the shop cannot obey the order."

"No, no." Tian Wenhai shook his head repeatedly, "I was willing to give it a 20,000 yuan price because I urgently needed money. I took it to a wealthy businessman for a walk. If I had the favourites, I would buy it. At the least, I could sell it for 19,000 yuan. Forget it, I would disturb your store."

He ordered the servants to carry them back, and he got up and wanted to leave. The boss hurriedly reached out to stop him and smiled and said, "Please sit less, everything is easy to discuss. To be honest, the things in your house cannot be purchased at all, and those with identities will feel bad. I will give you 8,500 taels of justice. If you don't believe it, you can go to someone else's house and ask, and you will guarantee that no one will be higher than the villain. For a moment, the butlers have put so much effort into adding 800 taels. I really don't want any more."

There are more pawnshops in Jinling, and the problem is that they are all connected with the major wealthy families, so Tian Wenhai naturally dared not come to visit. At this moment, the two bargained and won 10,000 taels of total. Anyway, they will soon redeem them, explaining the three-month period.

The shop's friends were dispatched collectively, carefully checked and registered one by one, and then moved inside one after another.

The boss took Tian Wenhai to the silver account and exchanged the silver as much as possible. Tian Wenhai got the benefit of 100 taels, and the servants also asked for twenty taels of errands.

"You send the money back."

Tian Wenhai asked them to leave first, and he went to several merchants he knew, most of whom had business dealings with the Zhu family for a long time. In the name of Zhu Kui, under the sign of the Xu family, he persuaded him to borrow more than 6,000 taels everywhere.
