Chapter 107
A few days passed by in a hurry, Ye Chen was sitting in the courtyard while drinking tea and reading ancient books, when Black and White Xuanjian came over.

After nearly ten days of cultivation, his injury has healed a lot. Although his strength has been greatly affected, he can move freely.

When he came to the former, he said straight to the point: "I want to borrow money."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed. What happened in the past few days?People came to him one after another to borrow money. Could it be that he committed some taboo and wanted to lose money?
Then he said: "Don't forget, you are my prisoner now, it's good if you don't kill you, and you still ask me for money?"

"You give me money, and I will take care of you."

Xuan Jian said concisely.

"You mean to be my bodyguard?"

Ye Chen asked.

The former replied blankly: "One hundred gold, I will protect you for one year."

Ye Chen nodded: "Yes."

One hundred gold is not a small number for ordinary people, this amount of money is enough for a person's basic expenses for more than ten years.But for a top killer like Xuan Jian, he could get hundreds of gold rewards for any task.

But now the money can hire him for a year, which can be said to be very cost-effective.

Moreover, the innately strong are not able to invite you to move at will. If you are not interested, even a thousand gold may not talk to you.In the final analysis, Xuan Jian still has the willingness to stay.

After getting the money, Black and White Xuanjian went out, and turned back half an hour later, and brought back several carts of grain.

Seeing this, Ye Chen was also a little puzzled, he didn't care about the food, why did the other party buy so much food?

But it didn't take long for him to understand, and saw an unexpected scene.

Heihei Xuanjian hired a few people, set up a shed and a stove not far away, and even brought in two large iron pots.Then they started cooking porridge.

Afterwards, someone began to talk about it: "Porridge, one bowl for each person!"

The sound of shouting and the smell of rice porridge intertwined and spread, and after a while, many people appeared in groups.

These people were dressed in rags, their bodies were thin and their complexions were sallow. One could tell from a glance that they hadn't had enough to eat for a long time.

Recently, it has been heard that there is a famine in Nanjun. These people probably fled here.

"Line up, don't fight, don't grab!"

Several strong men maintained the discipline, while Black and White Xuanjian picked up a big spoon and personally served these people with porridge, one after another.

Seeing this scene, Ye Chen couldn't help being surprised. He didn't expect that a snare assassin who killed people like hemp and scared countless others would now set up a shed to give out porridge.

This is a heinous person who suddenly changes from evil to good and becomes a Buddha right away.

Ye Chen expected that Xuan Jian would undergo a sudden change, but he didn't expect that the change would be so great, it was like a different person.

At this moment, he also understood why the other party asked him to borrow money.

Looking at the cold-looking man in the porridge shed, but he was very serious when serving the porridge, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

Although he is not a very good person, he also yearns for beauty. The other party's current appearance is much cuter than the awesome killer with a net and sky characters before.

More and more people gathered, and the whole process of giving porridge lasted for more than half a day, until the last wave of people gradually left when the sunset was setting.

Ye Chen walked over, looked at Xuan Jian who was closing the lid of the pot, and said with a light smile, "I never thought you would do such a thing."

"I did this for Xianxian. She is so kind. She must not have the heart to see so many people go hungry."

Black and White Xuanjian replied, then looked at the former, and said, "Lend me another hundred gold, and the previous agreement will last for one year."

Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The one hundred gold I gave you earlier is enough to buy one thousand hu grains, isn't it enough?"

Xuan Jian shook his head: "I don't know why, but now the price of food in the market has soared, and the price of a dendrobium has exceeded three gold. I spent thirty gold and only bought a dozen dendrobium.

Today, I consumed nearly two hu of food in this one place alone, and I hired some people to open a few porridge sheds in other places. I guess I have consumed almost the food I just bought.

And I am afraid that more people will come to receive the porridge tomorrow, and the one hundred gold will not last for a few days. "

Hearing these words, Ye Chen was also slightly shocked. He had heard the news of food price rises before, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying, it directly increased dozens of times.This simply does not give the people a way out.

Then he said: "If the price of food has been so high, even if you sell yourself, it will be a drop in the bucket. If you want to really solve the problem, you still have to deal with the root cause."

"Do you have any idea?"

Black and White Xuanjian asked.

Ye Chen said: "It is impossible for food prices to rise so much for no reason. Someone should be secretly manipulating it. Go and investigate to find out what's going on."

The former nodded, and then went to inquire without talking nonsense.

An hour later, Xuan Jian returned with a piece of news.

"The recent skyrocketing food prices should be caused by the Emerald Tiger."

Ye Chen nodded slightly: "It really is."

"You already knew?"

Xuan Jian heard the words and asked.

Ye Chen said: "If you want to control food prices on such a large scale, you need huge financial resources. In South Korea, except for the royal family, only Yemu has this ability, and Emerald Tiger happens to be in charge of money. , so the most likely one is him.”

"I'm going to kill him."

Heihei Xuanjian said something indifferently, exuding an invisible murderous aura.

Although he is willing to change himself for Xianxian, it doesn't mean that he no longer knows how to kill.

Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed. Although this method is simple and rude without any skills, it is still effective. As long as the instigator is eliminated, the problem will be resolved by itself.

However, this approach will inevitably cause some troubles. Compared with fighting, he still prefers to use his brain.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly thought of the matter that Han Fei asked him to borrow money a few days ago to cheat the Emerald Tiger.The timing of this incident coincided with the time when food prices skyrocketed.

There is probably some relationship between the two.

And with Han Fei's personality, it was impossible to just sit back and watch the Emerald Tiger mess around like this. It would probably take a long time for him to make a move, and by then, he would probably be able to trap the fat tiger until he didn't even have any underwear left.

If he intervenes at this time, it will ruin Han Fei's plan. It's better to wait a few more days to see what kind of means his junior brother has...
