Chapter 369 The End of Mr. Gan Sanye
This guy entered Bega two hundred years ago. Bega had already been established for a long time at that time, so he should know something about it. He Lingchuan was not in a hurry and returned to the previous question: "The nightmare energy you mentioned can also be referred to as life, right?"
"Nightmare Qi is Nightmare Qi, and life is life. They overlap but cannot be completely confused." Jing Jing quickly corrected him, "You are a life, and the old man who is the gatekeeper of Zizhuyuan is also a life. There is no difference in essence; but Nightmare Qi is just It’s different. As humans grow from infants to adults, the nightmare energy in their bodies becomes more and more abundant; and from youth to old age, during this process, the nightmare energy gradually dissipates and returns to the world. It’s a cycle that goes back to where it comes from, so the quality and quantity of the nightmare energy you have and that of the old janitor are completely different!”
He Lingchuan said thoughtfully: "I am a practitioner."
"As a cultivator, you possess more and more nightmare energy, which is natural." Mirror said eloquently, "The ancient immortals possessed too much nightmare energy and could not adapt to the world after the disaster, so they disappeared. ”
"So essentially, nightmare energy (nightmare power) is spiritual energy?"
"right!"
Nightmare Qi and Xuan Crystal are all different manifestations of spiritual energy. After all, this thing needs to be replenished with spiritual energy to repair it.
"It's too troublesome. I'd better find a foundry for you to repair it."
"That, that's okay." Mirror reluctantly said, "But at least it must be made of gold."
"……Depend on!"
It turns out that the most basic techniques can fix it!
In fact, this guy just wants to take advantage and get some mysterious crystals or precious metals from him, right?
He Lingchuan couldn't help but rub his temples. It is even worse for a family that is not already wealthy to have such a wealthy family.
At this time, Shi, the second head of the Shimen Chamber of Commerce, came over from the mountain to see him. He was overjoyed when he heard that the guards of King Beijia Baoshu had also settled here and even wanted to go with them.
The territory of King Baoshu alone is larger than that of Fu State, and it is also close to Fu State. If the Shimen Chamber of Commerce can connect with the Taifu Mansion, it can expand its business territory a lot in one go. He Lingchuan knew very well what these businessmen were thinking, so he knocked on the door and asked Wu Jinsong and Wu Jinsong to come over for a drink. At the dinner, he introduced Master Shi Er to them.
The four of them talked happily. Wu Jinsong didn't want to spread the news about Mr. Sha's lost soul. He only said that he came to Wuze County for business and met the mirror demon. He Lingchuan recounted what happened last night in a more exaggerated manner, and Master Shi Er was amazed. He never expected that such horror would happen by Mochou Lake while he was sleeping.
Especially Mr. Gan was involved, and Master Shi Er was very happy after hearing that he drank three bowls of wine in a row.
"Zhuzi, retribution is coming!"
While he was drunk, he talked about many past events of the Gan family. To He Lingchuan's expectation, Mr. Gan had done a lot of bad things, but it was actually Mr. Gan who took other people's paths and left others with nowhere to go.
"Boss Gan is dead, and the Gan family will have a good time."
As if to confirm the words of Master Shi Er, by the afternoon of the next day, the news of the change of ownership of the Magic Nest Swamp Pass had spread throughout the county.
He Lingchuan dared to bet ten copper coins. This was the rumor spread by the Shimen Chamber of Commerce. Because the news did not specify who had the pass order, otherwise he would have been uneasy these days.
The creditors who came after hearing the news almost crossed the threshold of the Gan family.
Uncle Gan is dead, and the Gan family has lost the Demon Nest Pass. What future does the Gan Chamber of Commerce have? They have to be ahead of others in collecting debts, otherwise they may lose everything later.
How could the Gan family cope with such a situation? I heard that Mr. Gan couldn't stand the sarcastic remarks from his creditors and started beating people. The policemen came to the door all of a sudden. Fortunately, the county master still showed some favors to Uncle Gan, and the creditor was willing to pay to settle the matter. Mr. Gan had to pay a large sum of money to avoid being detained in the county jail.
The news went viral in the county.
On the third day, Mrs. Mao, who was exhausted both mentally and physically, fell ill, and there were only two old servants around her to serve the soup. The Gan family's servants brought out more rumors and rumors.
At this time, Manager Zhao came to He Lingchuan and asked him if he could accept the Gan family's apology and agreed to hand over the access order to the Gan family after the trip to Lingxu City. Gan's Chamber of Commerce is willing to donate generous funds.
Of course He Lingchuan refused, and smiled at Manager Zhao: "You are not very sincere in passing on this message." He didn't even say a few nice words.
Manager Zhao was a little embarrassed.
The Shi brothers were also on the side and came to his rescue: "The fall of the Gan family is a foregone conclusion. Manager Zhao knows that Brother He is a discerning person, so why bother to cover it up?"
He Lingchuan knew that Manager Zhao was secretly one of theirs, so he did not pursue and embarrass him. He changed the subject and said, "The Gan family may have a way to survive the current crisis."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Looking for cooperation with you." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "You have a pass, and the Gan Chamber of Commerce has connections and business routes. We hit it off right away. No matter what, we will get through the current crisis of the Gan family first."
Leader Shi Er snorted: "Cooperating with his family? It's a beautiful idea."
Master Shi Da thought for a while and said: "It's not a bad idea."
In business, as long as the Gan family pays for the bloodletting, what can't be discussed?
The Gan family is so fat, who wouldn’t be greedy after seeing it?
It's a pity that the Gan family really didn't think of this method and never came to contact the Shimen Chamber of Commerce.
Another day, several heads and stewards of the Gan Chamber of Commerce suddenly disappeared, and with them disappeared a huge amount of money in their accounts. Even He Lingchuan was stunned when he heard that number. He felt that Boss Gan's hard-working family had a very strong fortune, and even the cash flow was so abundant.
But after they ran away with the money, the Chamber of Commerce could not pay the wages and payments. People were already restless, and the people below were not happy, so they rushed to the Gan residence to besiege and demand the money.
Unable to withstand the pressure from the creditors, Mr. Gan Er agreed to sell his property and the Chamber of Commerce assets to repay the debts; as soon as he made this decision, Mr. Gan San ran away without caring about his mother who was sick in bed!
Of course, he also took away a lot of valuables from the family.
After all, the Gan family still had some assets at this time. Mr. Gan San's business ability was not good, but his eyesight for appraising treasures was very good, and he knew which things in the family were valuable.
It was the fifth day, and the Shimen Chamber of Commerce's caravan set off to Lingxu City in Beijia Country. Mr. Shi Er lamented that he could not hear the exciting follow-up of the Gan family.
He Lingchuan said leisurely: "I bet you that Master Gan San can't escape. If you don't believe me, you and I will wait a little longer."
"Really?" Shi Erdangjia immediately ordered to postpone the departure time, "Then I bet ten taels of silver."
As a result, the latest news came out in the afternoon of that day:
Master Gan San did not escape far.
He was robbed in the grove on the outskirts of the county.
When others found Master Gan San, he was lying in the mud and groaning, with a big bump on the back of his head. He was robbed from head to toe, and even his other leg was broken.
Who was the robber?
Master Gan San cried and said a name:
Luo Xunyi!
He only took his trusted general Luo Xunyi with him on this trip, and even gave up his personal servant. Unexpectedly, Luo Xunyi turned against him in the grove and attacked him with a hammer. Master Gan San was so stubborn that he didn't faint, so Luo Xunyi broke his leg...
Of course, Luo Xunyi is no longer in Wuze County, and no one knows where he went.
When Shi Erdang heard this, he asked He Lingchuan: "How do you know that he will definitely be unlucky?"
"He is still too young. The Gan family is in a troubled time and owes a huge foreign debt. How can there be fewer people watching him?" He Lingchuan laughed, "He has no ability to judge people, and he actually ran away with a white-eyed wolf. If he is not a fat sheep to be slaughtered, who else can he be?"
Shi Erdang's pores were transparent, and he laughed: "Good omen, really a good omen! This trip to Lingxu City will definitely be smooth and smooth."
Even if he returns to the Gan family, Gan Sanye's fate is a foregone conclusion. The creditors will not let him go, and the villagers who have been bullied by him will not let him go.
A broken drum is beaten by thousands of people.
Working hard is a skill, and being able to maintain success is also a skill. Unfortunately, the Gan family has no talent. What awaits this family is only sadness and bleakness that cannot be seen at a glance.
Shi Erdang felt really relieved.
He Lingchuan asked him, "Why do you hate Gan Lao San so much?"
Shi Congshui was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "He is not a great villain, he doesn't deserve these four words, but people like Gan Lao San deserve to die."
"The evil of mediocrity?"
"Yes, that's the evil of mediocrity!" Shi Congshan thought these words were interesting, "This kind of person does things that are not punishable by death, but when combined, they are more disgusting than murderers. Everyone wants to spit at him and step on him. Hey, brother He, you summed it up well."
"You look like a man of great bearing, but I didn't expect..." The soul-catching mirror also laughed at He Lingchuan with ill intentions, "You asked me to cancel the mirror slave contract, just to see him end up like this, right?"
The mirror was lying on his chest, performing its duties: "Controlling other people's fate, watching him live, watching him die, watching him live a life worse than death, isn't this a good feeling?"
More than just a good feeling? He Lingchuan let out a long breath: "Of course."
When he walked out of Wuze County, he looked back on horseback.
Those few words were actually what he said out of his heart.
If Sun Fuping and Nian Songyu hadn't come to Heishui City, if He Chunhua hadn't left Qiansong County, would he be another Gan Sanye? It's just that his backers are stronger.
But he had long been awake, knowing that if you rely on a mountain, the mountain will fall, and if you rely on people, you will die. In such a chaotic world, the reliance of a playboy is like a soap bubble, which will burst at any time when the wind blows.
Then you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
Fortunately, he woke up early.
However, although He Lingchuan saw a miniature of his past in Gan Sanye - strictly speaking, a miniature of his original self - there are actually clear differences between the two.
Although the original self was also a playboy and had friends, there were no real lackeys around him, nor were there villains like Luo Xunyi who were used to instigating.
There were not even many real evil deeds.
Is it that He Dashao doesn't deserve it?
Of course not.
It was because the environment he grew up in was always strictly controlled, and all negative factors were screened out.
The space he had to jump around was actually very limited.
From this perspective, the four-character motto "Run when you meet water" inspired by Wen Daolun was a turning point in his fate, or perhaps a new starting point.
