Chapter 218: Sad and Desperate Jiang Ziliu
"Brother Chang, it's really not, it's really about this..." Jiang Ziliu was about to cry, why did he lose the deposit in the Qiankun Ring?
Jiang Ziliu even had some doubts. Could it be that the deposit that Jin Hongze gave him had its own problems, some kind of illusion that he couldn't see through? However, this suspicion really doesn't make sense. If Jin Hongze doesn't want to spend money, then just don't agree to Chang Qingchuan's asking price, why use such tricks again.
What's more, even if tricks are really used, what's the use of it, can I let Jiang Ziliu fill this hole? But the problem is, if Jin Hongze spends such a large amount of money, he has already emptied his entire family. I am a small alchemist in Jiangziliu, even if I can get some benefits in the alchemy hall of the Lishan School, it is far inferior to the dignified alchemy master.
Or, he wanted to cheat Evergreen Mountain, but the spell time was not counted properly? Or, if you want to be an empty-handed wolf, people in the world of mortals will do nothing?
Jiang Ziliu thought a lot for a moment, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how such a thing could happen.
Chang Qingchuan got impatient waiting beside him, but the other party was a customer after all, the God of Wealth, so he could only suppress his temper, waved his hand and said, "Brother Jiang, if you forget to bring the deposit, let's meet again at another time." That's it."
"No, brother Chang, wait a moment, please listen to me!" Jiang Ziliu became anxious immediately, and hurriedly called Chang Qingchuan to stop, and said in a short period of time: "Brother Chang, can you delay the matter of the deposit, first Ask that silver medalist to do the job, anyway, we can't renege on our debts."
Regarding the deposit, Jiang Ziliu thought about many possibilities, but no matter what the possibility was, it was true that he couldn't get the deposit now. Moreover, he didn't dare to go back and tell Jin Hongze about this matter. If it was really lost in his hands, it would be impossible to wash it off even if it jumped into the sea.
Therefore, Jiang Ziliu had no choice but to ask Chang Qingchuan, hoping to delay the deposit and let the other party take care of the matter first, and then talk about it when the full bounty needs to be paid.
Chang Qingchuan frowned, looked at Jiang Ziliu, and asked, "Brother Jiang, don't you think you are trying to trick me."
"Then how is that possible? I'm going to cheat anyone, and I don't have the guts to cheat you, Brother Chang." Jiang Ziliu quickly argued.
However, Chang Qingchuan looked Jiang Ziliu up and down, and said unceremoniously: "To be honest, brother Jiang, it's not that my brother speaks badly, I really don't trust you. The deposit that should be given cannot be less. When did you give the deposit, and I will be able to contact you to make a move."
Jiang Ziliu was forced to have no choice but to say with a dejected face: "Brother Chang, let me tell you the truth, the deposit is indeed ready, but somehow, I didn't walk a few steps on the next road, then The deposit has mysteriously disappeared.”
"Ha ha,
Brother Jiang, your joke is not funny at all. You are also a person of cultivation, could it be possible that you still hung the deposit on your waist, and was touched by some thieves? "Chang Qingchuan didn't believe Jiang Ziliu's words at all.
"Brother Chang, everything I said is true!" Jiang Ziliu said with a bitter face.
"Okay, Jiang Ziliu, don't talk about those useless things, I think you were moved by the deposit, so you made up such an absurd excuse. What else is lost, things will be lost in the Qiankun Ring Is it? Good guy, I want to get something for myself, but I let Lao Tzu hit you, you have a good plan!" Chang Qingchuan immediately changed his face.
Even if Jiang Ziliu was telling the truth, the deposit would be lost out of nowhere, but it had nothing to do with Chang Qingchuan. Moreover, if it is really lost, Chang Qingchuan will not be able to bear the risk together, the deposit is not three melons and two dates,
If in the end, the matter is over, and it turns out that Jin Hongze is only willing to pay half of the bounty, and Jiang Ziliu can't make up the deposit, Chang Qingchuan will find someone to reason with. The silver medal assassin is not easy to fool, Chang Qingchuan will not earn any money, and it is very likely that he will even lose his life.
Therefore, Chang Qingchuan patted his ass and stood up, and said to Jiang Ziliu in a bad tone: "Jiang Ziliu, even if the deposit is really lost, it is your business, don't get me involved. When will you give the deposit?" I found it, come back sometime and let me contact you for you."
After saying this, Chang Qingchuan didn't stay any longer, pushed open the door of the private room and walked away.
In the private room, Jiang Ziliu stared blankly at the open door, feeling his heart beating like a drum, his ears humming constantly, and his legs trembling like chaff.
what to do? what to do!
Jiang Ziliu was really desperate. He lost such a large sum of money. How would he explain to his master Jin Hongze when he went back? Whether Jin Hongze believes it or not, he will never escape this responsibility, and the punishment he will receive will not be less.
Or just run away?
However, as soon as this idea came up, it was extinguished by Jiang Ziliu himself in an instant. If he could really escape, when he got the deposit, he would just take the money and run away. Why wait until the deposit is lost before fleeing?
After much deliberation, Jiang Ziliu left the restaurant with a numb expression like a zombie, and moved towards Jin Hongze's house step by step with difficulty. In his heart, every step he takes, he seems to be walking towards the execution ground, but if he stops, he will fall into the abyss.
At this time, Ye Zan had already returned to the gate of Liu Gan's house, and the disguise on his face had been removed. He heard and saw every detail of Jiang Ziliu's conversation with Chang Qingchuan, as if he was watching a play.
Ye Zan was quite satisfied with this result. On the one hand, he made a fortune, but on the other hand, the three people had conflicts and gaps because of the money. It is conceivable that after Jiang Ziliu returned and reported the loss of the deposit to Jin Hongze, all kinds of suspicion and resentment would inevitably arise between the master and apprentice.
"Elder Ye, when did you go out?" The door suddenly opened, Liu Gan and Qi Qianjun walked out, and saw Ye Zan standing in front of the door with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing, I just went out for a walk." Ye Zan said with a smile.
"Master Uncle seems to be in a good mood today." Qi Qianjun said beside him.
"It's really good." Ye Zan smiled again, and said in his heart: With an income of more than 100,000 spirit stones, and even cheating Jin Hongze's master and apprentice, this mood is of course good!
However, Liu Gan was full of worry, and said to Ye Zan: "Elder Ye, the assassin dares to attack in the city now, I think we should be more careful, it is best not to go out alone."
Liu Gan experienced an assassination, and although Ye Zan rescued him in time, there was still some shadow in his heart. After all, he was just an alchemist, even though he had been hunted down back then, he still couldn't adapt to this kind of thing.
"Hehe, Elder Liu is right. Are you going out?" Ye Zan didn't say anything to reassure Liu Qian. After all, under the current situation, it's better to be more vigilant. Jin Hongze couldn't afford to hire a silver medal assassin, but the remaining money was enough to hire a bronze medal assassin like before.
However, thinking of this, Ye Zan started thinking again, should he meet Jin Hongze for a while and completely empty out the other party's family fortune?
Hearing Ye Zan's question, Liu Gan nodded, and said, "Invited by Fellow Daoist Yan, I plan to attend a party for alchemy exchanges. Do you want Elder Ye to go with you?"
"Forget it, I have other things to do, so I won't disturb you." Ye Zan waved his hand, and then said to Qi Qianjun: "Old Qi, be more vigilant and protect Elder Liu. Whatever happened, don't forget the things I gave you."
"Master, don't worry." Qi Qianjun cupped his hands and said.
After Liu Gan was assassinated, Ye Zan asked Qi Qianjun to be Liu Gan's bodyguard temporarily and gave him some props. These small props, including the first-aid nano repair fluid, and some things for detection and defense, are all standard equipment for bodyguards in the technological world.
Liu Gan and Qi Qianjun went out, while Ye Zan returned to his yard, went inside to continue watching the play.
Step by step, Jiang Ziliu finally moved back to Jin Hongze's compound. After a fierce psychological struggle, he finally did not dare to run away directly.
"How is it? Has the matter been settled? Did Chang Qingchuan say when the matter will be settled this time?" After seeing Jiang Ziliu, Jin Hongze was so eager to know the result that he didn't notice Jiang Ziliu's abnormality. .
When Jiang Ziliu heard this, he knelt down on the ground with a loud "puff", and said to Jin Hongze with a mournful face, "Master, my disciple is incompetent, so I will give away the deposit you gave to... give it away! "
"Deposit, what, what did you say!" Jin Hongze had gone through Jiang Ziliu's words twice in his mind, and finally realized what the other party meant. He stood up in shock and asked Jiang Ziliu, "You give me more money?" Tell me again, what happened to the deposit?"
"Lost...lost, lost the deposit, the disciple is incompetent, please punish me!" Jiang Ziliu lay on the ground with his head on the ground, not daring to raise his head, his whole body trembling like sifting chaff.
"Lost it? You mean, you didn't give the deposit to Chang Qingchuan, but you lost the deposit I gave you in such a short period of time?" Jin Hongze was full of disbelief.
Just kidding, things are placed in the Qiankun ring, unless the fingers are chopped off, how can it be easily lost. What's more, looking at Jiang Ziliu's hands, they are obviously still intact, and the Qiankun Ring is still on his fingers.
"Yes, Master, I don't know what's going on. The deposit was clearly placed in the Qiankun Ring, but when I saw Chang Qingchuan and wanted to take it out for him, I found that the deposit was gone." Jiang Ziliu Crying with snot and tears, the ground was wet.
However, Jin Hongze didn't believe it at all. He raised his foot and kicked Jiang Ziliu on the shoulder, kicking the opponent several times, and then said angrily: "Sinister, could it be that you are going to betray the old man too! Say, the deposit Where did you go, don't think that making up such a reason will make me let you go!"
