Chapter 1388 Six Paths Hall, Negotiation

The plot of Yi Nian Guan Shan is actually quite simple. The first half can be said to be a road adventure film, and the second half is a forced sensational chapter.

The first half is mainly about the female director Ruyi. Ren Ruyi's original identity was Ren Xin, the former left envoy of Zhu Yiwei. Because she was wrongly accused and faked her death to escape, she accidentally met Ning Yuanzhou, the former deputy head of Liu Dao Tang. The two sides cooperated to go to Andu to redeem Wudi with gold. Ren Ruyi helped Wuguo save Wudi, while Ning Yuanzhou helped Ren Ruyi investigate the truth of the death of her benefactor, Empress Zhaojie.

The group set out from Wudu and experienced various dangers along the way. It was a real road adventure.

The second half began to talk about family and country feelings. Anguo and Wuguo jointly resisted the invasion of Beipan, and then the protagonists began to give their heads one by one... It was ridiculous.

Zhou Chen soon met the prisoner. Liudaotang had a high status in Wuguo and great power. Although he was a prisoner now, he could ask to see the current head of Liudaotang, so the prisoner naturally did not dare to be careless.

Although the jailer in the cell has a low status, he can become the head of the cell. Obviously, he is cunning, otherwise he can't survive in this big prison.

"You want to see Lord Zhao?"

The head of the cell is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a weak body, a little hunchback, yellow teeth, and small eyes. He looks like a little old man who is easy to bully.

But Zhou Chen has lived here for two months, so he naturally knows that this head of the cell is not as harmless as he appears. If he is really harmless, how can he control the prisoners in the big prison?

"Yes, I want to see Master Zhao."

The head of the cell, Lao He, showed his yellow teeth: "Why should I believe you? Lord Zhao is such a big man, and we, the little people, can't even see him. How can we help you pass on the message?"

The head of the Six Paths Hall is also a high-ranking and powerful person in the court, and Lao He is just a head of the cell. He doesn't even have the opportunity to curry favor with him. How can it be easy to see him?

Zhou Chen said: "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to go directly to Lord Zhao. You just need to find someone to pass on a message for me. As long as it's passed, Lord Zhao will definitely see me."

"Who?"

"Six Dao Hall, Humanity, Xu Jun."

Zhou Chen slowly said a name. This Xu Jun was a humane Tiqi. He also appeared in the plot. At the beginning, he led people to execute Ren Ruyi and others. However, he didn't expect that there was a variable called Ren Ruyi, and he was directly killed by Ren Ruyi.

His relationship with Xu Jun was not very good, but he had helped Xu Jun once. Although Xu Jun followed Zhao Ji, he was not as ruthless and profit-seeking as Zhao Ji and Lou Qingqiang. He believed that Xu Jun would repay this favor.

Of course, if Xu Jun didn't help, he would have other ways to leave this dungeon.

The head of the prison, Lao He, thought for a long time and finally agreed to let Zhou Chen pass on the message. After all, Zhou Chen was a member of the Six Dao Hall. If he got out one day, it would be too easy to retaliate against him.

Adhering to the idea of ​​not offending, he did not look for anyone else, but went to find Xu Jun at the address Zhou Chen said.

A day later, Xu Jun came to the prison.

Xu Jun was not very old, he looked to be in his early twenties, and he looked quite heroic in a dark Six Path Hall uniform.

"I thought you were exiled like Ning Yuanzhou. Tell me, you specially asked someone to find me here, what is your purpose, don't you want me to rescue you? If so, the favor you gave me at the beginning is not enough."

Six Path Hall is similar to the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Tiqi of Sanshandao, who could not enter without background and had great power.

If Zhou Chen had not saved him once when he first entered the Six Path Hall, he would definitely not come to see Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, whether it was a favor or not, it still depends on the person, but since Xu Jun came, it was enough.

"You guessed right, I really want to get out."

"You are from Senluo Hall, and Hall Master Zhao hates you guys the most. I want to save you, but I can't do it without his order."

Zhou Chen said: "Of course, I won't make things difficult for you, but I want to see the hall master and need your help. Don't worry, I won't let you help for nothing, twenty taels of gold."

"Huh?"

Xu Jun's expression suddenly changed, staring at Zhou Chen's face in surprise.

"I know that you Senluo Hall doesn't have much money, and Ning Yuanzhou is a person who hates corruption and abuse of power. Do you have twenty taels of gold?"

In this chaotic world, the purchasing power of gold is quite strong. One tael of gold can definitely be exchanged for more than ten taels of silver, and five taels of silver is enough for a family of three or four people to spend for a year.

Even in Liudao Hall, the annual salary is at most a few dozen taels of silver. Twenty taels of gold is definitely a huge sum of money for Xu Jun.

Zhou Chen replied confidently: "There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below. Hall Master Ning is impartial, but the people below still have to make a living."

Xu Jun smiled. He did not doubt what Zhou Chen said at all. After all, Ning Yuanzhou had the old hall master to take care of him. The Ning family used to be a wealthy family, and they had a mansion in the capital. It was normal that they were not short of money.

But the other inspectors in the lower three paths were different. They could only live in poverty relying on their salaries. Among those who entered the Six Paths Hall, only a few truly pursued ideals and justice, and most of them did so for survival and glory.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Ji himself was not very charming, but after he came to power, not many people in the Six Paths Hall opposed him, because he could make money, and his uncle was the Prime Minister Zhang Xiang. Otherwise, how could Zhao Ji hold the position of the head of the Six Paths Hall.

"Fifty taels."

Zhou Chen sat down in the prison without saying a word.

Xu Jun frowned: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "Twenty taels of gold is all I have. If you don't want to, I have no choice but to stay."

He has money, but how can he let Xu Jun control him? If he can find Zhao Ji directly, he doesn't want to give out the twenty taels of gold.

Xu Jun looked unhappy. He felt that since Zhou Chen could offer twenty taels of gold, there must be more than that. It's just that Zhou Chen's attitude made him unsure. If the talks failed, wouldn't he lose even the twenty taels of gold?

It's just a message. He returned the favor and earned twenty taels of gold. It's a sure win.

Thinking of this, he pretended to hesitate for a while before saying, "What do you want me to say?"

Zhou Chen's face relaxed slightly, and he said, "Tell Lord Zhao that I can help him avoid being punished by Prime Minister Zhang, and I can also give him wealth and honor."

After hearing this, Xu Jun showed a look of disdain: "Just you?"

The Tiqi of the Three Good Paths of the Six Paths Hall has always been higher in status than the Chazi of the Three Evil Paths. Although Zhou Chen has helped him, it does not mean that he puts Zhou Chen on the same level.

Hearing Zhou Chen open his mouth and talk about Prime Minister Zhang, and close his mouth and talk about wealth and honor, he just felt very ridiculous.

Zhou Chen's momentum suddenly became fierce, and his eyes looked at him coldly: "In a word, twenty taels of gold, have you ever done such a deal?"

Xu Jun was a little scared by Zhou Chen's look, but then a burst of anger emerged in his heart. A prisoner dared to talk to him like this.

However, for the sake of twenty taels of gold, he endured it.

"Let me make it clear first. Whether Master Zhao sees you or not, you must give me the twenty taels of gold. Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel."

"If I lose my life, do you think I will still care about those material possessions?"

Xu Jun thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. It was just a message.

"Wait."

This wait lasted for two days.

It has been ten days since Zhou Chen came here. He has already mastered the Yangzhou Slow-Enterprise and cultivated extremely pure internal strength, but at the same time, his body has also lost weight.

Damn, eating only two meals a day, how can it be nutritious.

But his current martial arts talent is indeed extraordinary. He has mastered the first level in ten days and is not far from the second level. This talent is definitely a genius. If the nutritional supplements are sufficient and the medicinal bath is supported, the improvement will only be faster.

This is also the reason why he is eager to leave here.

"Prisoner Zhou Chen, come out."

Suddenly, the jailer shouted outside. Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes. He knew that it should be Zhao Ji.

He stood up and walked to the door of the cell. The jailer put handcuffs on his hands and took him away. Soon they came to a closed room. After sending him into the room, the jailer quickly closed the door and left.

Zhou Chen looked expressionlessly at the two people standing in front of him in the room.

The current head of the Six Paths Hall, Zhao Ji, and Lou Qingqiang of the human world.

"Zhou Chen, the inspector of the hell world, the confidant of Ning Yuanzhou, I heard from Xu Jun that you want to see me?"

Zhao Ji's face was indifferent, and he exuded coldness all over his body. He stared at Zhou Chen with extremely aggressive eyes, as if he was going to devour Zhou Chen in the next moment.

Zhou Chen bowed calmly: "Meet Master Zhao."

Zhao Ji flicked his sleeves and shouted coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, I want to hear your words to Xu Jun. You helped me avoid the punishment of my uncle and gave me wealth. You are so arrogant. Do you believe me and I will execute you now just for what you said?"

"I believe it, of course I believe it. Master Zhao is in power now. It is easy for him to kill small people like us. But if Zhang Xiang knew that Senluo Hall was abandoned by Master Zhao, I wonder what his attitude would be?"

Senluo Hall was born from the hell. It allowed the Taoists who had retired due to injuries to come to Senluo Hall, analyze the secret reports, and summarize them into proposals and submit them to various departments. Therefore, the existence of Senluo Hall is very important to the court.

Zhao Ji can have his current status with one percent of his efforts and ninety-nine percent of Zhang Xiang's help. So if you ask who he is most afraid of, Emperor Wu can't be ranked first. Zhang Xiang must be ranked first.

So after hearing Zhou Chen's words, his face suddenly became very ugly.

Zhou Chen looked down on him even more when he saw his expression. People who couldn't even control their emotions were destined to fail to achieve great things and would not last long.

Lou Qingqiang beside him shouted angrily: "Zhou Chen, you are so bold. Zhang Xiang is the uncle of the hall master. How can you, a lowly inspector, discuss it?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I am just telling the truth. Zhang Xiang asked Lord Zhao to replace Ning Yuanzhou and take charge of Liudao Hall. He must have trusted Lord Zhao and was full of expectations. But if Zhang Xiang knew that Hall Master Zhao abandoned Senluo Hall, Lord Zhao would not be able to explain it, right?"

Zhao Ji's face was gloomy, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he said coldly: "You were imprisoned with Ning Yuanzhou. How did you know that I abandoned Senluo Hall? Who was passing the news to you?"

"Clang!"

Lou Qingqiang drew his knife in an instant. As long as Zhao Ji gave an order, he would kill Zhou Chen immediately.

Zhou Chen was very calm and said calmly: "The reason why Senluo Hall can exist is entirely because of Ning Yuanzhou, because only he can make Senluo Hall analyze and summarize in an orderly manner. Once Ning Yuanzhou leaves, Senluo Hall will not last long; what's more, everyone in Liudao Hall knows the relationship between Hall Master Zhao and Ning Yuanzhou. Hall Master Zhao does not want the Six Dao Hall to have traces of Ning Yuanzhou, so it is not difficult to guess that Hall Master Zhao will abandon Senluo Hall."

Zhao Ji's eyes flashed. Zhou Chen was right. He abandoned Senluo Hall. On the one hand, he did not want Ning Yuanzhou to leave and the Six Dao Hall still had his shadow. On the other hand, it was because he could not lead and regulate Senluo Hall at all.

The duties of Senluo Hall sounded simple, but without rich experience and means, it could not be maintained at all.

So he abandoned Senluo Hall, which could be said to be half active and half passive, but he did not think he was worse than Ning Yuanzhou. He felt that even without Senluo Hall, the Six Dao Hall would prosper under his leadership.

But Zhou Chen mentioned Zhang Xiang in front of him, which made him feel nervous. Zhang Xiang was ill during this period and did not ask about the affairs of Liudao Hall, so he did not know that Senluo Hall was abandoned by him. If he knew, he would not let him go easily based on his understanding of his uncle.

"Haha, tell me, what is your purpose?"

"It's very simple. I don't want to stay here all the time. I want to ask Master Zhao to save me."

Zhao Ji sneered: "Since you know the relationship between me and Ning Yuanzhou, do you think I will save you, Ning Yuanzhou's confidant?"

Zhou Chen said: "Master Zhao, there is no need to say that. I work in Senluo Hall for a living. It is impossible that if Master Ning is gone, I will die with him. If Master Zhao gives me this opportunity, I am willing to help you rebuild Senluo Hall."

"Rebuild Senluo Hall? Just you?"

Zhao Ji and Lou Qingqiang both showed sarcasm. Before coming, they naturally had a full understanding of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen came from the hell, and later worked in Senluo Palace, but his position in Senluo Palace was not very high at all, and he could only be considered Ning Yuanzhou's confidant. They did not believe that Zhou Chen had the ability to rebuild Senluo Palace.

Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he said confidently: "The doorway of Senluo Palace is not that complicated. It's just that if we want to achieve the level when Ning Yuanzhou was there, the most important thing is to use people and organize and summarize. As long as the hall master fully supports it, I have the confidence to restore the former glory of Senluo Palace within a few months."

"In addition, what I said before about giving the hall master a fortune was not just talk. As long as the hall master agrees, I can help the hall master earn at least 10,000 taels of gold within half a year."

"What?"

Zhou Chen's words before just made Zhao Ji sneer and disdain, but when he heard 10,000 taels of gold, Zhao Ji lost his composure instantly and his expression changed drastically.
