Doomsday: Gain experience by hunting

Old Huang Family Cadre, Granary Watchman, Two Million Jin Grain Thief, Old Transcendent: "My lord, I wonder how long it will take you to take a million jin of grain?"

Before Tang Wen could speak, he quickly explained, "If it takes too long, there will be more people to silence!"

"I brought an empty stone."

The old Transcendent breathed a sigh of relief: "In that case, my lord can sneak into the granary and quietly take away a million jin of grain. Hmm, actually, the more you take, the better."

"Why is that?" Tang Wen humbly asked for guidance.

"The key to the success of this matter is to take away as much grain as possible, creating a larger deficit. My lord must make the superiors on this line, from the stewards to the guards patrolling at night to the guards guarding the camp gate, all disappear. Make it look like they absconded with the money."

"Will the family's higher-ups believe it?" Tang Wen frowned.

The old Transcendent smiled confidently: "My lord, you may not know, but the grand manager of that Stone Water Camp is a descendant of the Huang family's direct line. He takes the lion's share of the money from privately selling grain in the camp!

This person is extremely greedy and cunning, nicknamed that he can squeeze oil out of a stone. If I'm not mistaken, once those few people disappear, he will take the opportunity to make a fortune. Then, he will push all the responsibility onto the missing people!"

Tang Wen understood: "In that case, the old debts from the past will also be cleared."

"My lord is wise! This old boy will probably laugh in his dreams, so he will use all his connections to suppress this matter, turning big problems into small ones and small ones into nothing. He will never alarm the family's higher-ups, causing someone to come and investigate."

Tang Wen thought about it, and that made sense, so he felt relieved.

What he was worried about was that the Huang family would use the excuse of losing grain to make trouble for the Flame Camp.

The Huang family had many experts, and their tracking ability was very strong.

Once they obtained any evidence.

Tang Wen couldn't keep the white tigers holed up in the Flame Camp every day; there would always be times when he couldn't protect them.

But if the final conclusion of this matter was that the Huang family themselves were engaged in corruption, then there would be no worries.

"Not bad. Tell me more about the specific details."

"Uh, first you have to make sure that the people on duty that day feel that something is wrong, such as using secret medicine to make them collectively doze off..."

The old Transcendent didn't expect Tang Wen to ask so meticulously.

Coming up with a thorough action plan on the spot was difficult for others.

But for him, wasn't that just routine?

The old Transcendent became more and more energetic as he spoke, spitting everywhere.

Tang Wen was full of emotion: Truly, every profession produces its own expert!

Thinking that he would definitely continue to find trouble with the Huang family in the future, and that he had to do it discreetly.

Then such a "strategist" who understood the Huang family would definitely be of great use.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand, and his mental power dragged the old Transcendent up from the ground.

The latter was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he found himself sitting on the bed.

"L-Lord?"

The older one is in the Jianghu, the smaller the courage is.

The person got up from the ground, but he was even more flustered in his heart.

After all, Tang Wen was a high-level member of the family in his eyes.

What was he teaching him just now?!

Teaching him how to undermine the family? Teaching him how to steal the Huang family's grain?

Alas!

Too careless.

Judging from the voice, this lord should be relatively young.

How could a young and successful person tolerate these dirty things in his heart?

The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he couldn't help but beg: "My lord, I deserve to die, I only beg you to spare my grandson's life."

Unexpectedly, what responded to him was a frank smile.

In the darkness, the person who controlled his life and death said: "Don't be nervous. Although what you did is not glorious, the entire family's major and minor camps do the same, so that is the default industry rule."

"Industry rule?"

He had never heard these four words before. The old Transcendent didn't quite understand, but he was greatly shocked.

"My lord is wise! Your summary is too accurate. In fact, I have been in the family for so many years. I have been rotating in various grain-producing camps. To be honest, which steward isn't greedy!

To be honest, I was a martial artist when I was young, and I still had hope.

I wasn't interested in making dirty money at all, but... alas!"

Thousands of words turned into a long sigh.

Tang Wen nodded in understanding: "I understand. If you stewards don't take it, how will your commanders take it? If your commanders don't take it, how will the camp's chief manager take it? If he doesn't take it, how will you advance!"

"Hiss!"

The old Transcendent was shocked by these few words!

How could this lord be so knowledgeable?

He knew all about the set of receiving and sending off, making dirty money, and binding interests.

Tang Wen ignored his surprise and continued: "Not only is it like this in the camps, but it is also like this in the family."

"So that's how it is."

The old Transcendent suddenly understood.

No wonder this lord understood so thoroughly.

Yes, they are all members of the family, but there are only so many resources, and there must be disputes between the various houses.

This person is so young, but he has already experienced these unspoken rules. It seems that the struggle at the top of the family is also very fierce.

Tang Wen: "I won't kill you. Although I have strategists by my side, they are far behind you when it comes to these dark sides. You have your uses."

The old Transcendent's voice became excited: "My lord, are you saying..."

"You stay here and behave yourself. I may ask you for advice in the future."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord, for not killing me!"

The deep darkness quietly dissipated.

After a long while, the old Transcendent opened his eyes and looked at the night sky outside. He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body collapsed.

At this time, he realized that his whole body was already soaked in sweat.

The night wind blew, and it was cold.

"Fortunately, I met a sensible lord", the old Transcendent repeatedly rejoiced after he recovered.

Tang Wen did not leave behind to monitor his performance.

Although he understood that after this old man calmed down, he would definitely be suspicious of his origins.

But he definitely felt that it was better to have one less thing to worry about.

In addition, he himself was not clean.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to report it.

Tang Wen acted according to the old Transcendent's plan.

He returned to the Stone Water Camp next door under the cover of night.

Arriving at the granary inside the mountain, Tang Wen first filled an empty stone. Then he took out the original one and filled it with hundreds of thousands of jin of grain.

It was very simple to fill the empty stone with grain.

His mental power wrapped the grain, and the granaries were swept clean one by one.

He was busy for half the night, killing the stewards, guards, and gate guards in the granary, and throwing their corpses into the wild to feed the alien beasts.

He also took the opportunity to loot the wealth they had accumulated for half their lives.

When everything was done, it was dawn.

The sun rose, and the streets were bustling with activity.

Probably because they were used to being lazy.

The disappearance of a group of people was never discovered.

Especially those middle-level camp members who disappeared, who usually had some status.

However, not showing up for half a day was not a big deal at all.

It was nothing more than drinking too much flower wine last night and sleeping in late.

Could this be considered a problem?

Tang Wen patiently waited for the incident to happen.

In the afternoon, someone came to look for the ordinary guard who was guarding the granary gate last night.

Arriving at the door, they found that his door was ajar.

Looking through the gap, the house was in a mess.

Clothes, tables, chairs, and various sundries were overturned everywhere, as if it had been burglarized.

This person panicked, pushed the door open and went in, but did not see the owner of the house, so he hurriedly left and reported it to the city guards.

The guard was gone, and his family seemed to have had an accident.

When such a thing happened, they naturally had to find his superior, that is, the guard commander from last night.

As a result, when they came to the commander's house and knocked on the door, the place was already empty, the courtyard was extremely messy, and the whole family was gone.

The high-level members of the Stone Water Camp received the report and felt that something was wrong.

Then they thought that the other party had disappeared last night, but last night they should have been guarding the granary.

The granary!

When they rushed to the granary and made a hasty inventory.

They found that half of the granary was empty.

The martial artist in charge of the granary knelt down in the cave with soft knees, his heart filled with despair: It's over, it's all over!

With so much grain missing, ten heads would not be enough for him to be chopped off.

After he came back to his senses, he went to the camp's grand manager to discuss countermeasures.

The other party took a look in person and suddenly laughed.

As the "old Transcendent" from the camp next door had predicted last night!

This grand manager shouted: "The accounts are settled!"

Tang Wen was about to leave when he saw this.

But he saw this grand manager discuss with others, ordering people to empty the granary overnight, leaving only less than 10% of the millet, and then set it on fire.

The granary manager colluded with the guard commander to embezzle and burn the grain, which was a crime worthy of death...

What?

The grand commander was inept in management?

Hehe, more than half of the million jin of grain he had embezzled had been given to the old housekeeper of the Huang family's third house.

What crime did he commit?

He had only committed a small mistake that all power holders would commit.

Just transfer him to guard the pasture.

The Huang family was rich, and the millet had been harvested in abundance for many years.

The granaries near Ganshan City were piled full.

They didn't think there was any problem with losing this little bit of grain.

At night, Hu Qi took Tang Wen back to the Flame Camp.

In the council hall of the royal palace, the queen, General Zhou, Commander Qian, and others were all seated.

They had been waiting for a day and a night.

"He's back!" The queen suddenly put down the wine bottle that was at her lips and looked out the window.

Several Transcendent and martial artists also looked out when they heard this, but they didn't see anything.

The white tiger was extremely fast.

In just a few breaths, Tang Wen and the three white tigers landed outside the hall.

"The young master is back!"

A guard shouted at the door.

Everyone went out to greet him, their faces full of concern.

"Oh, you're all still awake?"

Tang Wen joked.

But everyone couldn't laugh.

The older sister in the crowd even gave him a big eye roll.

This matter concerned the life and death of the camp, and he still had the heart to joke.

However, out of familiarity with Tang Wen.

Tang Tang and Zhou Bing relaxed at the same time when they heard his tone, and the big stone that was pressing on their hearts fell to the ground.

"How is it? Did you intercept them? Did you make a move?"

General Zhao was very familiar with Tang Wen, so he threw out a series of questions.

Everyone held their breath.

Tang Wen smiled and didn't play dumb: "I met them. The good news is that the Huang family has temporarily rolled away. The bad news is that the Huang family is preparing to deal with me."

Everyone was happy and then shocked.

"What exactly happened?"

Zhou Bing asked anxiously.

"Don't be too nervous. It's just a normal confrontation between forces. I represent the Ganshan City Blackwater Gang and the White Tiger Tribe, and I'm firmly suppressing the Huang family. The Huang family would be crazy if they didn't want to deal with me."

Tang Wen explained, and everyone's faces eased slightly, but Tang Tang and Zhou Bing still frowned.

They were surrounded and entered the house, chatting with the commanders and Transcendent.

They had been living in fear these past two days, afraid that Tang Wen would not come back, and that the Huang family's fifth-grade experts would come.

At this moment, their tense nerves relaxed, and someone couldn't help but yawn.

Then, as if they were infected, many people opened their mouths wide one after another and couldn't help but stretch their muscles.

"Alright! The crisis in the camp has been resolved. Everyone, go down and rest!"

Tang Wen's words were very popular.

The queen also echoed.

Familiar and unfamiliar people came to him, greeted him, and left one after another.

It wasn't that everyone couldn't help but feel sleepy and was about to go back to sleep immediately.

But they knew that Tang Wen and the others were going to have a small meeting.

Sure enough, after most people, including Tang Tang, left.

Tang Wen took the lead and walked towards the entrance of the underground palace inside the house.

The queen was puzzled for a moment, and then followed with Zhou Bing and several generals.

A few minutes later, the group arrived at the lowest level of the underground palace.

This place was full of empty rooms, and the torches held up at random could only illuminate a small area, and all they could see were stone doors.

General Xia was very familiar with this place: "This is underground, but it is not humid. I don't know how the original people built it. I suspect that when they built this underground palace, they drove the foundation down at least thirty meters."

The lowest level of the underground palace had a stuffy smell.

The air here did not circulate.

Tang Wen squatted down and touched the ground.

The stone ground was smooth and clean, and the gaps were filled with gray filler, which did not feel protruding or recessed, as if it was integrated with the floor tiles.

His mental power poured out like water.

Instantly covering dozens of rooms.

The situation inside was the same, the ground was smooth, there was very little dust, and there were no insects to be seen.

Tang Wen couldn't help but guess how this place was built.

He felt that even with the technological means of his previous life, this kind of underground palace was not something that ordinary construction companies could build.

"This place is very good for use as a granary." Tang Wen clapped his hands and stood up.

"Cough, granary?!" The queen choked on the wine, her beautiful eyes fell on Tang Wen, full of expectation.

She had seen Tang Wen take things out of the empty stone more than once, so she naturally had guesses in her heart.

Zhou Bing was also the same.

General Zhou did not pay attention to their eyes. He thought that Tang Wen was sighing, looking at the darkness in the distance, and replied casually: "Yes, my wish when I was young was that the camp could eat a few full meals.

Speaking of which, I'm not afraid of everyone laughing at me. When I first became a martial artist, I felt that I was omnipotent! I once made up my mind in my heart that I would fill all 733 rooms with millet!

At that time, no one in the camp should starve to death again."

Tang Wen did not interrupt his memories.

General Zhou was a young genius, and he had the opportunity to go to Ganshan City, to a larger city, and live a better life.

But he still stayed.

He has guarded the camp for more than 20 years.

His contribution cannot be said to be small.

General Zhou fell into reminiscence, continuing, "Later, after becoming a martial master, my ambition changed. I knew filling all the granaries with millet was too difficult."

"I only prayed that I could save enough grain in ten years to fill the top layer of those few granaries."

"Later, I became a Transcendent and a general of the camp."

"I no longer think about how long it would take to fill the granaries."

"I just lead people to work hard, but alas!"

He sighed deeply, and everyone could only remain silent.

Although Tang Wen didn't feel deeply about storing grain, he couldn't help but recall when he first went to university in his previous life, he wanted to become a billionaire.

Later, when he came out for an internship, he felt that having a house and a car would be good enough.

Still later, when he entered society, he understood that ordinary people without backing or resources had already beaten 80% of the people if they were not in debt and could save some money.

"General Zhou, you have done very well!"

He smiled, waved his hand, and pushed open a stone door.

Whoosh!

Millet fell like a rainstorm, seemingly from nowhere.
