- Chapter 80 The treasure found
The carriage moved very smoothly, so Fang Jie's heart gradually calmed down. The carriage he was riding in contained some cargo, and he was hiding inside the cargo. He closed his eyes and forced himself to rest for a while, but the knife was within his reach.
Since leaving Hong Xiu Zhao early yesterday morning, he has been in crisis one after another.
Also starting from yesterday, he had to make a deal with two people. The first person to trade with him was Luo Wen, and Fang Jie exchanged a flash of idea for a short period of preparation time. Then the people who killed Luo Wen mixed with the troops of You Zhenwei and left the martial arts field.
Not long ago, he made a deal with this company called Huotong Tianxiaxing. Use a total of one thousand four hundred and sixty taels of silver to exchange for your safe entry into the city.
Both of these transactions have to be done.
Fang Jie, who was leaning in the carriage, couldn't sleep and didn't dare to sleep, because he couldn't believe that the fat man could really guarantee that he would enter the imperial capital safely. The transaction with this currency is a bit bizarre and sloppy, so Fang Jie, who seems to be resting, is just resting his body, not his mind.
The goods in the carriage are miscellaneous, but not much of anything.
There is wine, tobacco, tea, and some very trivial and strange things.
Fang Jie subconsciously stretched out his hand to open a jar of wine, but his stretched out hand stopped in mid-air. He sat cross-legged with his back against the carriage, breathing slowly, as if he really fell asleep. After walking like this for about an hour with a slight sway, the voices of pedestrians outside the carriage became increasingly noisy. Fang Jie knew that he was approaching the gate of Chang'an City, so there would be more pedestrians on the official road.
He opened his eyes and grabbed the handle of the horizontal knife.
Listen attentively.
"Wine shopkeeper, why are you dressed like this today?"
Someone said hello to the fat man.
"Don't mention it, I get angry when I mention it. I made a bet to be ranked among the top three in the Performing Arts Academy this year, but I lost. I even lost my clothes. Unlucky really unlucky."
There was a burst of laughter outside, and Fang Jie guessed it was the officers and soldiers guarding the door.
"Wine shopkeeper, let me tell you, who is the number one this year?"
"I want to know. I'll wait for the announcement from the court."
"The wine shopkeeper is stingy. This is not like your character."
"Haha, the young master of the Luo family should be the winner. I guess the notice from the court will come out early tomorrow morning. What's the matter, you also deposited money?"
"How can I compare with you, the wine shopkeeper? One month's salary is not enough for you to drink a cup of tea. I pledged Mr. Luo five taels of silver, haha I only lost three for one, but I made a small profit."
¡°Congratulations, you¡¯ll have to treat me later.¡±
The fat man, known as the wine shopkeeper, joked for a while, and then the carriage started again. Fang Jie was slightly surprised, wondering what the origin of this trading company called Huotong Tianxia was, and why the always strict Chang'an city gate guards didn't even check it? Just chatting casually for a few words and then letting him go. It was obvious that this business firm had a very deep background.
At this moment, a name suddenly appeared in Fang Jie's mind.
Yes, it wouldn¡¯t be surprising if it was him.
Fang Jie helplessly shook his head and smiled. Wu Yiyi, the richest man in the Sui Dynasty, donated hundreds of thousands of gold to repair an entire wall of Chang'an City, in exchange for the title of Sanjin Marquis. Only he was so proud that the Chang'an garrison did not inspect the goods, and only he dared to put a flag embroidered with the words "goods all over the world" on his carriage. If it had been anyone else, he would have been laughed to death.
He actually made a deal with Wu and bought his own life for one thousand four hundred and sixty taels of silver.
Fang Jie found it a bit funny and wondered, did this mean that his life was clearly marked by a price tag by Wu Ji Trading Company, which dared to claim to be the world's merchant? If anyone wants to buy his head in the future, he can go to Wuji Trading Company and look through the catalog of goods, and he will be able to see clearly at a glance that it is one thousand four hundred and sixty taels.
The key is that he set the price himself.
After the carriage entered Chang'an City, the sounds outside became more lively and noisy. Chang'an City is full of prosperity, and every street is bustling with activity. The cries of merchants and shopkeepers, the bargaining sounds of tourists, the neat footsteps of soldiers patrolling the city as they pass by carriages, and the clanging sound of their armor as they walk.
You can¡¯t see the outside and rely entirely on hearing to perceive and identify the world.
This feeling is amazing.
Just when Fang Jie was listening intently to what was going on outside, he felt pain in his lower abdomen without any warning. This kind of pain comes as fiercely as a flood, and it can overwhelm you in an instant.His body was bent involuntarily, and the huge pain made it difficult for him to stay calm. Even if he bit his lip, he could not relieve the pain in his lower abdomen, as if a drill had penetrated it, and the muscles and internal organs were twisted together. .
Such intense pain makes it difficult for a person like Fang Jie, who is determined and persevering beyond ordinary people, to resist.
He only lasted for more than ten seconds before he passed out from the pain.
Just as he fell softly, the carriage stopped. Someone lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked his head in and said, "Get out of the carriage quickly. Do you still want to hang around?"
"Huh? Pretending to be dead?"
The person who spoke was stunned for a moment, then got into the car and opened Fang Jie's eyelids to take a look.
Wu Daodao, who got off the carriage, originally planned to go back to the house directly, but he didn't know why he suddenly wanted to take a closer look at the young man who spent money to enter the city, so he asked his servants to lead his precious daughter Wu Yinyu in first, and then walked slowly to Fang Jie This side of the carriage. After waiting for a while and no one came down, he frowned slightly and looked inside.
I saw the fat man squatting beside Fang Jie with a look of surprise and even a little fear on his face. Wu Daodao knows about wine, sex and wealth. He understands it very well. What could make Fatty, who had very few things that could scare him, faintly afraid? So Wu Daodao was very curious.
"What's up?"
he asks.
The fat man looked back at Wu Yiyi, the meaning in his eyes was complicated and unclear. The expression on his face was also complex and indescribable.
"This boy is too weird."
¡¡
¡¡
How much money Wu Yiyi has, I¡¯m afraid no one knows except himself. Needless to say, Wu Ji Trading Company can do business all over the world. Just saying that his property in the imperial capital is enough to make everyone jealous. The size of Chang'an, a hundred miles away, makes people awe-inspiring, but the preciousness of the land also makes people feel intimidated.
In the imperial capital where every inch of land is precious, Wu Daodao owns an entire street.
So when the name Wu Daodao is mentioned, people will naturally think of the street behind the name. So some people began to preach how important it was to have a good name. When Wu Daodao's father gave him this name, he never imagined that his son would actually own a street in the future.
Because he called a street, he had a street. This street in the Imperial Capital was mentioned too often, and people ignored Wu Daodao's wealth, which was said to be able to buy the entire empire of the Sui Dynasty. A street is nothing, that is the true meaning of a street.
Therefore, the naming of children born in the past few years has made people more and more speechless. Those who call it a town will have it, those who call it a city will have it, and those who call it a county will have it. On the way to the imperial capital, Fang Jie met a young woman holding a baby and breastfeeding him. He saw that the child was cute and asked if he had chosen a name. The young woman said with a sad face that there were several people in the village called Yicun, some called Yixian, and some brave ones called them A country is worried to death about its father, who just can't think of a good name.
Fang Jie, in the spirit of helping others, said without even thinking about it, just call the kid a ball. He was absolutely domineering. What he means is to call it a ball, and the whole planet belongs to this kid.
The young woman¡¯s answer was: Get out!
It was only later that Fang Jie figured out that it was indeed unlucky for a man to call for a ball. You see, there is a douche in every village, but there is absolutely no one.
Although he is so rich, the place where Wu Yiyi lives now is not very big.
" About half an hour's walk from where he lives now, there is a house covering an area of ??more than 30 acres. It was his old residence. At that time, he was just a businessman through and through, so he dared to live in a bigger house. Because he could afford it, no one said anything. But it doesn't work anymore, he has a title.
With a title, you can¡¯t be too ostentatious.
"Especially in the imperial capital, whoever has nothing to do will be issued a memorial to cross the etiquette system. For this kind of thing, as long as you are willing to frame it up, you will definitely find some so-called evidence. If the court wants to investigate, even if the door gap is one finger wider, they can say that you deliberately made it wider than the palace gate! Of course, the emperor would definitely not really take care of him, but it was disgusting after all.
When Wu Yiyi has nothing to do, he likes to sit and read in a bamboo forest that he specially transplanted. Especially in summer, the bamboo forest is very cool.
Put a recliner, a pot of fragrant tea and a few exquisite snacks on the coffee table. It is definitely an elegant thing to lie on the chair and read a book and drink tea while listening to the wind in the bamboo forest. Wu Daodao has now passed the time when he blindly pursued elegance to cover up his humble status as a businessman. Compared with most businessmen, he is a really elegant person, not just pretending.
He is greedy for money, but in his eyes, greed for money is not a vulgar thing, but a matter of duty.
The fat man who had changed his clothes stood respectfully beside Wu Yiyi, walking lightly.?Fill the tea cup. Wu Daodao picked up the tea and took a sip, then put down the book in his hand and asked, "Have the arrangements been completed?"
"It's done"
The fat man replied: "The young lady has arranged to live in the small courtyard to the west. I originally thought that the young lady would not like this house. After all, the courtyard in the old house is spacious and close to the garden, with many strange stones, flowers and plants, and a lotus pond." . But I didn¡¯t expect that the lady likes this place very much. She said that the courtyard is small, but it is very popular. My subordinate is stupid and really doesn¡¯t understand what the lady means by popularity.¡±
"If you don't understand, just don't understand. As long as she lives comfortably, that's fine."
Wu Yiyi smiled and suddenly understood that what his daughter wanted was very simple. It turned out that although the big house was spacious and beautiful, it was too deserted. She used to be away from home all year round, and the only person beside her who could talk to her was the little maid Du Juan Thinking about it, it's no wonder that she likes the place where she lives now. Although it is small, it seems much more lively.
"Where's that boy?"
"In the guest room, still asleep."
"Have you asked a doctor?"
"I asked, but the doctor couldn't tell what the problem was. All he could tell was that his right arm was broken and the bandage was rough. It should have been tied by the young man himself."
"I have a broken arm, but I still have the energy to bargain with you. It's interesting."
Wu Yiyi smiled and asked: "What do you think?"
The fat man's face changed slightly, and after being silent for a while, he speculated uncertainly: "The whole body is as hard as a stone. I really doubt that his whole body will be broken into pieces if he hits it with a hammer. The subordinate pinched his veins, and the strange thing was that He had one hundred and twenty-eight air points in his body, but only three were opened. It was so weird. If it weren't for this, his subordinates would almost be sure that he fainted because he couldn't bear the pain of the enlarged air sea after his advancement in practice. of."
"Buthis Qihai does not exist at all. Logically speaking, a person without Qihai is a disabled person even if he is alive. Even if he is walking, he is afraid that he cannot turn over without help from others. But this boy's reaction Even after he fainted from the pain, he still held the knife in his left hand very tightly and couldn't break it open. There was a callus on his broken right hand, and I could tell from his eyes that he had no problem with it. He had killed someone. When he was on the roadside, his eyes were always looking at my throat. My subordinates just checked him carefully. He was as strong as a cheetah."
The fat man smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is the first time in so many years that I have seen such a strange physique."
"Not surprisingly"
Wu Daodao held the tea cup, turned his head and looked in the direction of the guest room and said in a calm tone: "At least, there is a person with such a special physique among the people I know."
"who?"
"Luo Yao"
"But my subordinates have never believed that Luo Yao really can't practice."
The fat man couldn't help but express his opinion: "A person who cannot practice cultivation cannot achieve his level of strength simply by exercising his body. It is absolutely impossible. Without strength tempering, no matter how strong the body is, it will only be flesh after all."
"Nothing is impossible in this world. Luo Yao is indeed unable to practice Very few people in the entire Sui Dynasty know that his Qihai was shattered by someone thirty years ago."
"ah?!"
The fat man¡¯s face changed drastically, and his expression was full of disbelief: ¡°The air sea was shattered, and you didn¡¯t die?¡±
Wu Daoyao put down his tea cup and stood up, walking towards the guest room with his hands behind his back: "You just met someone today who will not die even if there is no breath in the sea. Is it any wonder that Luo Yao doesn't die? Let's gogo see you." What a surprise this treasure I picked up will surprise me.¡± - Didn't finish reading?
