Chapter 41 Map of the Capital City
  The main house of the other courtyard.

Liu Qi opened the book, and the first thing he saw was a stack of banknotes under the cover.

The denomination is five thousand taels each.

Liu Qi held the banknotes lightly in her hand, no more, no less, exactly thirty-two, totaling 160,000 taels of silver.

In comparison, he took three thousand taels of silver and came to assassinate himself...

Liu Qi shook his head.

Someone offered 10,000 taels of gold for the heads of the Sun brothers, equivalent to 200,000 taels of silver.

This is not a small sum.

A family of five in Daqi can only afford twenty taels of silver for a year.

In other words, 200,000 taels can keep 10,000 households of five from going hungry for a year.

According to the standard of drawing one ding per household, an army of ten thousand people can be raised.

In other words, Sun Jinlong and Sun Jinhu, the "Mobei heroes", are worth a year's salary of an army of ten thousand people.

Liu Qi suddenly felt a little cautious.

The task will never be as easy and ordinary as the old knife sharpener said.

"If we can break through to the seventh level of the Ancient Liu Heart Technique as soon as possible, we will be more confident." Liu Qi thought to himself.

The Sun brothers may have some strength, but they will not be top-notch masters, otherwise the Black Prison Gate would not only offer ten thousand taels of gold.

Liu Qi stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves and continued to flip through the book. He took out a thick roll of paper and spread it out to cover the entire table in an instant.

Liu Qi glanced at the dense markings on the paper, not daring to be careless at all.

This is a map of the capital, one of the things Liu Qidian wants.

Following the marks on the map, Liu Qi quickly found the Liu Mansion located on the left side of the west city.

Xicheng is where most of the dignitaries in Beijing live. The location of Liu Mansion is a little bit remote, but it is definitely not cheap.

If it weren't for Mrs. Liu who was born in the Zhou family, Liu Zongxun would never be able to afford a yard in Xicheng.

Liu Qi's eyes were quickly attracted to the most conspicuous place in Xicheng.

Weiyang General's Mansion!

Located in the middle of Xicheng, closest to the palace.

The General's Palace is only smaller than the Imperial Palace and spans several streets, but it is marked under construction on the map.

Liu Qi suddenly remembered that Liu Zongxun, a member of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, was not the chief officer who supervised the construction of the General's Mansion.

Skipping the General's Mansion, Liu Qi quickly found the Fengji Rice Shop that he had already visited, as well as the Yihong Building in Nancheng and Yizhuang outside Dongcheng that he had not yet visited.

These three places are the hiding places of the sword slaves in the capital.

In addition, Liu Qi also noticed the Liumen General Office located in Taipingfang, Dongcheng, and the Golden Horse Chamber of Commerce in Dongcheng.

After reading the map, Liu Qi closed her eyes and thought about the route she took last night, slowly overlapping with the map in her mind.

It can only be said that the capital is worthy of being a capital. Liu Qi just checked the route he passed last night with the map and discovered that there were several dark alleys that were not marked on the map.

Liu Qi shook her head, then folded the map again, stood up and stuffed it under the quilt.

It wasn't that Zhang Cheng was perfunctory with her.

How is it possible to get a detailed aerial view of this world without satellites or airplanes?

Coupled with the important location in Beijing, there are many places where even birds cannot fly.

Liu Qi continued to flip through the book presented by Zhang Cheng. The ink in the book was not yet dry, so Zhang Cheng probably wrote it down overnight.

The content is about the underground forces in Beijing.

For example, the Black Snake Gang members who assassinated him that day.

What Liu Qi didn't expect was that behind the Black Snake Gang was a famous family in the world, the Beggars Gang!

After breaking the military order that year, General Zhou Weiyang went to the chief helmsman of Junshan Island of the Beggar Clan alone to meet with the heroes of the Beggar Clan. Zhou Weiyang left peacefully three days later. Shortly thereafter, the Beggar Clan disbanded the capital and surrounding halls.

The leader of the Black Snake Gang is nicknamed "Black Snake", and he was the deputy helmsman of the Capital Branch at that time.

The Beggar Clan uses "bags" to distinguish the levels of disciples.

The gang leader has no bag but a respected position.

The three elders of Palm Stick, Palm Punishment, and Chuan Gong all have nine bags.

The deputy gang leader and the helmsman of each province are all eight bags.

The deputy helmsman of each provincial branch and the head of each prefectural branch all have seven bags.

The leader of the Black Snake Gang was already a disciple of the Seven Bags of the Beggar Gang twenty years ago, and his strength must not be underestimated.

Liu Qixian tapped her fingers on the table, thinking in her heart: "I just don't know if the Black Snake Gang is still connected with the Beggar Gang."

I'm afraid most of them do!    …

It was another night without incident.

When Cuixiang woke up in the morning, she saw that the door of the main house was open.

Liu Qi, who is used to getting up early, has not only finished washing up, but also completed today's meditation exercise.

Watching Cuixiang, who looked worried, leave the courtyard to get breakfast, Liu Qi walked slowly to the courtyard, and soon saw Zhang Cheng quietly appearing from the door.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng stepped into the courtyard and then bowed.

"How's the matter that I asked you to inquire about?" Liu Qi asked with her hands behind her hands.

"Reply to your order, sir." Zhang Cheng replied quickly, "All the pharmacies in Beijing, big and small, have been inspected by my subordinates."

"Only two of them definitely have what you want, my lord."

Seeing Liu Qi's silence, Zhang Cheng was shocked, and then continued: "The family is Renshantang. It is said that there is a thousand-year-old jade ginseng in his family."

"And the other one is Jimin Hall."

"Shenyi Zhang from Jimin Hall claims to be the only disciple of the Shen family with a foreign surname. The 'Tian Yuan Pill' he refines is said to be on par with the Guyuan Pill."

"Are they on the same level?" Liu Qi said calmly, "Why are they on the same level?"

There were sweat stains on Zhang Cheng's forehead, and he replied tremblingly: "Many dignitaries in Beijing are full of praise for this elixir. Every time before Divine Doctor Zhang starts refining the elixir, it will be fully booked in advance."

"Can you find a way to get one?" Liu Qi asked.

"This... there are people selling it on the black market, but the price..."

Before Zhang Cheng could say anything, he heard a strong wind blowing in front of him. When he was horrified, he suddenly saw a stack of silver notes on the clothes on his chest.

Then Liu Qi Lengche's voice sounded in his ears: "This Tianyuan Pill must not be more expensive than the Guyuan Pill."

"Take the remaining money and ask Renshantang if the thousand-year-old jade ginseng plant can be sold."

Zhang Cheng hurriedly took the banknote and looked up to see Liu Qi's back disappearing at the door of the main house.

While he was secretly relieved, he picked up the banknotes, eight in total.

Forty thousand taels!
  While feeling surprised in his heart, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but sigh that his lord was really rich in financial resources.

Forty thousand taels is enough for him to spend his life!

……

Liu Qi listened to Zhang Cheng's footsteps in the room and left the yard, and then her eyes suddenly sank.

She wasn't worried that Zhang Cheng would be greedy for money, but she was worried that he wouldn't be able to buy what she wanted.

Money is something external to one's body, while martial arts is the foundation of one's life.

Give up the basics and pursue the weak, and take the path of death!
  As long as the martial arts is high enough, do you still need money?
  ……

Liu Qi saw Cuixiang walking in hurriedly, her hands empty and not holding a food box.

"Miss, Madam wants to see you!" Cuixiang took a deep breath to calm down, and then said.

lady……

Liu Qi reacted instantly.

She is Liu Zongxun’s current wife, Mrs. Zhou.

At this moment, there was a sound of "cuckoo..." suddenly coming from outside.

It's a secret code among sword slaves.

It seems that Tiancheng Casino has something to look at.

Liu Qi calmed down for a moment, then her brows softened and she said to Cuixiang, "Sister Cuixiang, please help me boil a bucket of hot water. I'll go see Madam after I freshen up."

"Row!"

Seeing Cuixiang's hurried away figure, Liu Qi immediately stepped out and landed in the courtyard. After confirming that Cuixiang had gone far, Liu Qi tapped her feet and flew out of the courtyard.

The man on the other side of the outer wall was pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.

Suddenly a figure suddenly appeared a few steps in front of him.

The man looked up and saw the person standing with his back to him, holding a jade pendant dangling in his hand.

The moment his eyes touched the jade pendant, the man knelt down on one knee.

"See the Lord!"

"Yesterday, in accordance with the order of the Lord, two people were sent to assassinate Boss Du of Tiancheng Gambling House."

"I got the news from the Yamen today."

"Both of them are dead!"
