I chase corpses in Gaowu world

Chapter 58 Qingfeng Sword, the death of an old friend

Yu Fenghan stared straight at the big hole in the ground.

After a while, he looked at Fang Ze.

Yu Fenghan asked: "Elder brother, why didn't I know you were so violent before?"

Fang Ze smiled slightly.

"Now you know."

"Eh..." Yu Fenghan suddenly felt that his growth rate over the past year was completely behind that of his elder brother.

"Okay, let's go down and take a look." Fang Ze said.

He took a step forward and jumped directly through the hole that had been trampled down on the bluestone floor.

Yu Fenghan took a deep breath, waited for a moment, and then jumped down from the hole.

Fang Ze and Yu Fenghan fell into the underground secret room.

Under the bluestone floor is a secret room about four meters deep. At this time, there is a bluestone slab on the floor of the secret room that Fang Ze just stepped on and fell. In addition, there are flickering lights on the surrounding walls.

Fang Ze is no stranger to this self-illuminating thing.

Tianzhou is rich in products, many of which were not available in Fang Ze's previous world.

For example, the substance that emits this kind of fluorescence is extracted from a kind of snow firefly. That kind of snow firefly is found in Jiaozhou and Yizhou. It can also be raised. The adults of that kind of snow firefly can be raised in a certain place. By crushing it at one point in time, a substance called snow firefly lacquer can be extracted.

This kind of paint is not cheap, but it is very easy to use. When applied to the wall, it can produce an effect like the moon reflecting on the snow at night, emitting fluorescence for about ten years.

Through the fluorescence on the wall, Fang Ze could see clearly what was hidden in the underground secret room.

There was not much gold and silver in the secret room.

The main collection is a wooden cabinet with a few items on it.

Although there are not many, they all seem to be high-quality products of high value.

Among them is a black velvet bag, the mouth of the bag is not tied tightly, and it can be seen that there are various gemstones inside.

The favorite thing among gangsters is gemstones, because they are of high value and small in size, easy to carry, and can be sold quickly.

Gems are hard currency among underworld figures.

People in the underworld seem to have a prosperous life, but there is no tomorrow. You don't know when your enemies will find you, and you have to run away to avoid trouble at any time. It is most suitable to bring gems, just like the delicateness of ordinary people.

In addition to the bag of gems, there is also a stack of bills.

Next to the bill, there is an account book and a letter.

In addition, there is a sword with a blue scabbard hanging on the wooden cabinet.

There are surprisingly few collections in this secret room.

But it seems, everything is important.

After Yu Fenghan landed, he went to get the bills and letters, and looked at the ledger.

Yu Fenghan picked up the stack of bills, looked at them carefully, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hu Xiaotian knows how to run a business. There are two house and land deeds for Qingzhou [Juding] City shops."

Yu Fenghan put down the store receipts and looked at another stack of receipts.

"Hey, the gold ticket from Tongfeng Bank is one thousand, three hundred taels of gold."

Both Fang Ze and Yu Fenghan knew Tongfeng Bank.

The owner behind Tongfeng Bank is the Zhao family of Shendu Royal Family.

The Zhao family in the divine capital is a royal family. Although it cannot suppress the world with absolute power, it is still the largest force in Tianzhou.

It is also nominally orthodox.

Don't think that the royal family doesn't do business.

Although the imperial court has taxes, most of them still have to be used to invest in the economy and people's livelihood, as well as official salaries, disaster relief in various places, etc. The money does not go to the royal family after it is collected.

If people of the Zhao family want financial resources, they have to make money to buy them.

However, the Zhao family is the most powerful family in the world no matter what, and they have privileges.

As a member of the royal family, the business they run is naturally the most profitable.

Among them are banks.

In addition to Tongfeng Bank, there are three other money bank businesses that Zhao operates in the world.

They are also some of the most reputable bank accounts in the world.

As for gold tickets, they are notes that can be redeemed directly for gold at a bank.

In fact, strictly speaking, gold was not the normal currency of the Zhou Dynasty.

What the court of the Great Zhou commonly used were small coins, big coins, and taels of silver.

The money usually mentioned mainly refers to silver or copper coins.

Gold is generally not used by ordinary people for circulation. It is mainly used by wealthy households with financial resources to store value, and the price of gold is not particularly stable.When the price of gold is cheap, one tael can be exchanged for about 23 or [-] taels of silver, and when it is expensive, it can be exchanged for [-] or [-] taels of silver.

There are slight differences from place to place.

However, it can generally be regarded as one tael of gold being roughly equal to 20 taels of silver.

One thousand, three hundred taels of gold, which is equivalent to twenty-six thousand taels of silver.

Yu Fenghan casually threw the golden ticket back onto the pile of bills.

"Hu Xiaotian has made a lot of money in the underworld these years. The total amount of gems, gold tickets, and shop title deeds is about more than 4 taels of silver, which is comparable to the income from returning to the clan thousands of miles a year."

Yu Fenghan said.

At this time, Fang Ze did not look at the belongings in the secret room.

In front of the wooden frame, what he focused on was the long sword with a blue scabbard hanging on the wooden frame.

This long sword is about three feet long. The hilt is made of Shenlong wood. There is a dark red tassel at the end of the hilt.

The scabbard is very simple, with two words written in ancient writing on it: "Qingfeng"

Fang Ze looked at this sword, but it was rare that he was in a trance.

His expression seemed to be filled with memories.

At this time, Yu Fenghan also saw that Fang Zeping was a little different from usual.

He walked over and came to the side behind Fang Ze.

Seeing the sword hanging on the wooden frame, Yu Fenghan blurted out subconsciously.

"Good sword!"

After saying that, Yu Fenghan seemed to feel something was wrong.

He coughed slightly, and then said: "This sword has not been unsheathed yet. As a swordsman, I have an intuition. This is a good sword. It should be a sharp weapon close to the peak."

"The name of this sword is Qingfeng... but it has the same name as the boy who welcomes guests in the sect."

After a pause, Yu Fenghan suddenly remembered something and asked: "Sir, when you broke into Black Wind Village to seize the body of your friend Xu Shaoping, Xu Shaoping was nicknamed Qingfeng Sword. Could it be that this sword is..."

At this time, Fang Ze nodded slightly.

"Yes."

"Brother Xu had a small adventure back then and got a secret book of swordsmanship and the Qingfeng Sword, the pinnacle of sharp weapons. His name is also derived from this sword."

"This is the sword that Brother Xu carries with him."

Yu Fenghan was stunned.

His expression became solemn.

Of course Yu Fenghan knew Fang Ze's story back then.

"Elder brother and Xu Shaoping met by chance back then. Although they met by chance, they became close friends at first sight. Unfortunately, Xu Shaoxia had an unfortunate fate and died in Heifeng Village."

"Now, Qingfeng Sword is also Xu Shaoxia's last relic."

"Elder brother, do you want to send this sword back to the Xu family's hometown and bury it with Xu Shaoxia?"

Yu Fenghan asked.

Fang Ze shook his head.

He said: "Brother Xu is open-minded and takes life and death lightly. He doesn't really care about a sword."

"It's a pity that his ambition was not fulfilled."

"Come to think of it, if possible, he wouldn't want to let the sword of fame gather dust and be buried together."

"I think Brother Xu may prefer that someone can carry his sword and continue to wander the world and write a legend of the world that he has not written down."

After Fang Ze finished speaking, he sighed lightly.

He took the Qingfeng sword off the wooden stand.

Fang Ze took Qingfeng sword and sent it to Yu Fenghan.

"Elder brother, what is this?"

Yu Fenghan asked.

Fang Ze said:
"I know Brother Xu's intentions. He has made his way in the world, but he is unwilling to remain unknown for the rest of his life."

"I will make the decision on his behalf and give you this sword."

"I also know your intentions. You want to make a name for yourself in the world."

"The Qingfeng Sword is given to you as a token of appreciation."

"It's not considered buried."

After saying that, Fang Ze stuffed the Qingfeng Sword into Yu Fenghan's arms.
