Paper Maker: This is the end of the Ming Dynasty in Liaozhai

Chapter 120
"It is Tong's greatest honor that Su Qianhu can have fun."

Hearing this, Tong Hong also smiled.

After a banquet, the guests and the host had a great time. During the period, seven or eight families took the initiative to talk to Su Hao, and even some families faintly revealed the intention of cooperating with Su Hao.

However, Su Hao didn't express his opinion. The first family in Jinan Mansion is Tong's family. The strength of other families is far inferior to Tong's family. It doesn't have enough benefits. He doesn't want to get involved in the struggle between these families. With this skill, he It's better to practice more internal strength.

After leaving Tong's house and returning to the Jinyiwei yamen, Su Hao saw Liao Qing coming up to his attic.

After saluting, Liao Qing said: "Qianhu, someone brought a gift to Qianhu, saying it is to congratulate Qianhu's new official's appointment."

After receiving the gift list from Liao Qing, Su Hao flipped through it a few times. Basically, there were rare treasures or precious medicines. The most precious one was from Tong's family, a donkey with thousands of treasures and a donkey who took care of it. The medicine servant of the medicine donkey.

"The Tong family has a great handwriting!"

Seeing the gift from Tong's family, Su Hao shook his head lightly: "It's so scheming!"

This is not small. According to Tong Hong, at least ten plants of precious medicine and thousands of medicinal materials are needed to grow a donkey with thousands of precious medicines. And so on, and this is not counting the medicine donkeys that died halfway through raising them. Calculated in this way, the cost of a thousand treasure medicine donkeys is at least 3 to 6 taels of silver, which is not insignificant.

And the reason why he said that the Tong family is very scheming is because Tong Hong has almost seized the vital point of a warrior, and the medicine is three-point poisonous. Any warrior who has cultivated to the first-class level will eat all kinds of great tonic medicines. The poisons accumulated all over the body are not light, and no one dares to take medicine at will, so a large number of warriors basically can only rely on time to slowly suffer after reaching the first-class state.

Although the potency of a thousand-treasure medicine donkey can only be comparable to seven or eight hundred years of treasure medicine, it is the treasure medicine that most martial arts masters dream of. After all, a thousand-treasure medicine donkey can save a first-class warrior several years of hard work, Comparable to Qianbao Medicine Donkey, there are also some secret medicines of Taoism and Buddhism.

The reason why Tong Hong generously gave him a thousand treasure medicine donkey was to win him over. As long as he had a demand for thousand treasure medicine donkey, he had to be restrained by the Tong family.

It's a pity that the winking eyes of the Tong family were thrown to the blind man. Although he also practiced martial arts, he didn't take as many tonics as others, and in order to minimize the residual poison of the medicine, he basically took precious medicines. There are not many remaining poisonous drugs, and the demand for Qianbao drug donkeys is not that great.

"Put everything in the warehouse in the attic."

Su Hao looked at Liao Qing and said, "I asked the cook to ask the medicine servant how to cook that thousand treasure medicine donkey."

Liao Qing was the first hundred households he came into contact with at the Jinyiwei Yamen in Jinan Prefecture, and he didn't have any cronies, so he asked Liao Qing to come over and serve as his entourage.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Liao Qing nodded in response, then turned and left.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Su Hao suddenly remembered Zhao Xiaoer's family who were still living in the inn in the city, so he said again: "Tomorrow, Liao Shibai's family must go to the Yunlai Inn in the city to find someone named Ding Zimo for me. Yes, and then bring their family to the yamen."

After finishing speaking, Su Hao walked towards the treasure house of the Yamen. He was delayed for a while because he was going to Tong's house for a banquet. Now that he is free, he naturally wants to exchange his great achievements for the treasures he needs.

Zhou Meng is still in charge of guarding the treasure house. When he saw Su Hao wearing the big red flying fish suit, Zhou Meng couldn't help being stunned for a moment. Although he is getting older and his memory is getting worse, the last time he saw Su Hao was just Three months ago, there were not many people who came to the treasure house of the Yamen, so he still had an impression of Su Hao. He remembered that the other party was only a hundred households before, but he did not expect that he would become a new thousand households in Jinan Prefecture after a few days.

"Mr. Zhou, boy, come to exchange some things."

Seeing Zhou Meng, Su Hao smiled and cupped his hands.

"Su Qianhu is too polite, our family is just a bad old man, just call him Lao Zhou."

Zhou Meng also bowed his hands politely.

"Mr. Zhou, I want to exchange these things."

Hearing that, Su Hao didn't say much, just put a list on the counter, although Zhou Meng is also a member of the yamen, but the other party is not under his control, Zhou Meng is a member of the palace, besides guarding the treasure house, He is also responsible for supervising the Jinyiwei yamen, in case someone has a different heart.

Zhou Meng picked up the list and looked at it carefully. After reading it for a while, Zhou Meng asked with a strange expression on his face: "Su Qianhu, these things seem to be the cultivation materials of heresy warlocks."

"Ah."

Su Hao nodded his head and said, "Isn't it in the treasure house?"

"The Bark of the Thousand-Year-Old Demon Tree just doesn't exist in the yamen. If Qianhu needs it, it can be transferred from the capital."

Zhou Meng nodded and said, "Other things just happen to be in the yamen."

"Then take it out first."

Hearing this, Su Hao nodded his head. For this situation, he had already expected it. Most of the Jin Yiwei are warriors, so naturally they don't have too many training materials for heresy warlocks.

"Ok."

Zhou Meng nodded, walked to the iron wall, counted his fingers on the wall, and then there was a "click" sound of the mechanism turning.

The next moment, a handle popped out from the iron wall. Zhou Meng pulled the handle, and a secret door appeared on the wall beside him. Zhou Meng entered the secret door with the list.

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets for a long time, Zhou Mengcai came out from the secret door, holding a large piece of bark in his hand, which weighed three to four hundred catties.

"Su Qianhu, this piece of bark is the bark of a 500-year-old cypress demon. It weighs 380 catties and is worth four great achievements."

Zhou Meng put down the bark, took out a small wooden box, and said, "This is red blood cinnabar, two great achievements."

After speaking, he went back to the secret door and took out a bunch of bottles and jars, and introduced them one by one.

"Su Qianhu, these things have a total of eighteen great merits."

"Then when can I get the thousand-year-old dryad bark from the capital?"

Su Hao nodded, took out eighteen small round cards from his pocket and put them on the counter, then asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Su Qianhu, the bark of the thousand-year-old tree demon is more precious, ten catties a piece of great work, I wonder how much you want?"

Zhou Meng said with a serious expression: "If Su Qian wants more, our family has to go to Beijing in person."

"Eight hundred catties."

For this price, he has already expected it. Compared with the human race, the monster race has a long life span, which is normal for hundreds of thousands of years. Although the speed of the monster race is far behind the human race, the time is enough to make up for it. everything.

And the reason why the human race was able to drive the monster race into the deep mountains and old forests to become the ruler of heaven and earth, the most important thing is not how strong the human race is, but because of the kalpa. According to ancient legends, the way of practice is a small kalpa every 300 years. A great catastrophe, this kind of catastrophe is completely meaningless to the human race, except for those immortals who are said to have ascended, no one can live for 500 years, let alone 300 years.

It is not difficult to see demon trees around 300 years old, but there are very few demon trees over 500 years old, let alone ones that are thousands of years old. Although plant monsters live longer, plants are more difficult to open their minds than animals, and more It is located in the deep mountains and old forests, so don't look at a thousand-year-old demon tree that has thousands of catties of bark, but the price is still expensive.

"Su Qianhu, this eight hundred catties requires eighty great efforts."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Zhou Meng couldn't help raising his brows. Eighty great achievements may not be a big deal to those big men in the capital, but it is not a small number for a thousand households.

Su Hao said calmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, I understand."

After finishing speaking, he took out three small bags from his arms, counted out eighty small round cards and put them on the counter. Although as a thousand households, he didn't have to go to Beijing every time he exchanged them, but the great work he should do is One cannot be missing.

"Then let's go to the capital."

Seeing this, Zhou Meng nodded, put away the small round card on the counter, and then reset all the organs.

When he returned to the attic with his things, Su Hao couldn't help sighing. This strength is stronger. It is easier to make money, but it is also easier to spend money. After going to the treasure house, there are only nine great achievements left on him, four of them It's still the reward from the last mission.

After tidying up a bit, Su Hao took out a small medicine box from his sleeve, and then took out a few ginseng slices, crossed his legs and entered the cultivation state.

.........

The next day.

Not long after dawn, Liao Qing waited outside the attic with Zhao Xiaoer's family.

Looking at Su Hao who was cultivating in the attic, Zhao Xiaoer's beautiful eyes flashed a strange color. She never expected that Su Hao would be able to become Jinyiwei Qianhu in Jinan Prefecture in just one month, in charge of the entire There are more than a thousand brocade guards in Jinan Prefecture.

But Ding Zimo is not as indifferent as Zhao Xiaoer. As a scholar who grew up reading sage books, he is more in awe of the government. Before Su Hao didn't wear official uniforms, he could relax a little, but now he walks in After entering the Jinyiwei yamen, seeing that all the people coming and going were dressed in official uniforms, the awe of the government surged into my heart again.

"Come up."

Half an hour later, Su Hao finished his morning practice before speaking.

Looking at the restrained Ding Zimo in front of him, Su Hao smiled and said: "Brother Ding, don't be so nervous. I invite you here this time, I mainly want to ask you one thing. There is still a shortage of a hundred households in the yamen. Interested in taking on the role?"

"Hundred households?"

Ding Zimo, who was originally very restrained, was stunned when he heard Su Hao's words. From the moment he stepped into the yamen, he had thought about many outcomes, but he had never thought about this outcome.

"Brother Ding is rejecting the official's kindness?"

Seeing Ding Zimo frozen in place, Su Hao asked again.

"Little people dare not!"

After recovering, Ding Zimo said anxiously: "It's just that Xiaomin has no strength to restrain a chicken, how can he take on this important task."

"You don't have this strength, but your wife does."

Su Hao calmly said: "Your wife is also famous in the Jinyiwei, if you don't join the Jinyiwei, your family can only remain anonymous and live in fear. This officer lacks experts who can stand on their own, so I will give you this opportunity , if you don’t want to, I won’t force you.”

Although his current strength should be somewhat stronger than that of Zhao Xiaoer, it is not so easy to find a master of Zhao Xiaoer's level, so he wants to take Ding Zimo under his command.

Hearing Su Hao's words, Ding Zimo was also a little tempted. After studying for more than ten years, if he said that he didn't have the idea of ​​finding an official position, it would be nonsense, and what Su Hao said was right, if he couldn't clean himself up The name of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, no matter where the family flees to live, they have to live in fear to prevent being targeted.

After thinking for a while, Ding Zimo still shook his head: "The spells in the cheap can't be used for many purposes, the love of thousands of households, the little people will always remember it in their hearts."

As a husband and wife, Zhao Xiaoer has never concealed the dangers of cultivating heresy techniques. If he becomes a hundred households of Jinyiwei, Zhao Xiaoer will definitely be able to cast spells. It won't take long for Zhao Xiaoer to be unable to hold on.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoer suddenly said: "Qianhu, this matter should be settled by the women."

"Little Second!"

Hearing this, Ding Zimo became anxious. This is no different than the previous promise to work for Su Hao for five years. As long as Zhao Xiaoer finds a way to break the curse cast by Su Hao, the family can escape at any time. Once they joined Jinyiwei, it was impossible for their family to leave at will.

Seeing Ding Zimo's anxious expression, Zhao Xiaoer just shook his head resolutely. For her sake, Ding Zimo left behind his relatives, friends, and fame as a scholar who had worked hard for more than ten years to join the White Lotus Sect and become a She killed a rebel, and in the end she even hid everywhere, not daring to go home again. How could she not know the pain in Ding Zimo's heart after being a husband and wife.

Now that she finally has the opportunity to wash away the family's identity as a remnant of the White Lotus Sect, and to let Ding Zimo return home, how can she give up? As for the consequences of casting spells, she can't care so much. Although the technique hurts her body, with her body, there is no problem in sustaining it for three to five years.

"Brother Ding, if you really feel sorry for your wife, then practice martial arts well and try not to let your wife take action."

Seeing Ding Zimo's helpless look, Su Hao couldn't help frowning. He has no hope of learning literature, but he doesn't learn martial arts. In the face of danger, he can only hide behind his wife. If he didn't fancy Zhao Xiaoer's strength, he wouldn't bother to pay attention. Such people.

"Martial arts?"

Hearing this, Ding Zimo's eyes lit up immediately, and he said hastily, "Will Qianhu teach me?"

Hearing Ding Zimo's words, Su Hao frowned, and immediately wanted to refuse, but he swallowed the words and tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers.

After pondering for a long time, Su Hao finally said: "Kowtow!"

"Thank you, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Zimo quickly knelt down on the ground and bowed to the master.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Xiaoer opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

"Get up."

Walking to Ding Zimo's side, Su Hao patted Ding Zimo lightly, then went to Zhao Xiaoer's nephew and patted it, and then said: "I have undone the curse on you."

Speaking of this, Su Hao paused for a moment before continuing: "However, the martial arts you learn as a teacher is the martial arts in the yamen. If you want martial arts, you must first pass the examination of the yamen and become a hundred households. Only then can you teach it to others as a teacher. you."

He accepted Ding Zimo not on a whim, but to completely subdue Zhao Xiaoer. In this world, apart from parents, the relationship between master and master is the closest. Ding Zimo worshiped him Master, that also means that Zhao Xiaoer became his disciple.

After all, in this era, what is important is to obey the father at home and obey the husband when married. The status of master and apprentice is more secure than anything else. Thousands of people, and hundreds of direct disciples.

And the reason why he was moved to accept disciples was also because Ding Zimo still had something that people valued, that is, friendship. Before, he only needed to accept his invitation to wash away the identity of the remnants of the White Lotus Sect and return home in good clothes. Ding Zimo was concerned about Zhao Xiaoer's body, so he chose to refuse.

Of course, the more important reason is to value Zhao Xiaoer's talent and strength. There are many people who learn heresy techniques, but there are still very few people who are truly talented. Tong Shui, he was also of this type in the past. If he didn't have a system, he would be close to the level of a first-class warrior at most now. This is still relying on the natal paper man and Fu Bo left by the ancestors of the Su family.
