Chapter 11: Shadow
Time flies, and three days have passed before I knew it.
Thanks to the publicity from the government clerk, the news that Aji killed four thieves alone spread throughout Jinling City.
Because of this, Zuixianlou's business is much better than usual.
In the past three days, the Zuixianlou was packed with people, and Wang Ye made a lot of money.
In the evening, Wang Ye was looking through the accounts at the counter, with a smile on his face.
In just three days, Zuixianlou earned a full two hundred taels of silver.
This amount of money is eight times the previous income of Zuixianlou.
"Misfortunes often bring blessings..."
Looking at the account in front of him, Wang Ye smiled and said to himself: "Although this brat Aji caused trouble, the profits in the past two days are really high!"
"Two hundred taels of silver!"
"If you set aside 150 taels of silver and deposit them in a bank, you can earn an extra 5 taels of silver in interest by the end of the year."
"With the remaining fifty taels, we can go to Yihong Courtyard and have some fun!"
As he spoke, a lewd look appeared on Wang Ye's face again.
Snapped!
Just when Wang Ye was daydreaming with a lewd look on his face, a crisp sound came directly from his ear.
Following the sound, he saw a fly swatter hitting him right next to him.
"Aji!"
Seeing Aji's gaze, Wang Ye frowned: "What are you doing?"
"Slap the fly!"
As he spoke, Ah Ji raised the fly swatter in his hand again: "Although it is autumn, there are still a lot of mosquitoes and flies. It is really annoying to hear them buzzing around your ears."
As he spoke, Aji's eyes fixed and fell behind Wang Ye: "Boss, don't move!"
"What are you doing..."
Hearing this, Wang Ye asked.
However, before he could finish his words, he saw the fly in Aji's hand swung, and with a sharp sound of breaking wind, it came down from top to bottom and was hit hard!
Snapped!
With a crisp sound, the fly swipe hit Wang Ye's body and hit the counter behind him.
"Alas, I didn't hit it..."
After the shoot, Aji shook his head, his words full of regret.
At the same time, he started looking for flies around Wang Ye again.
Damn it!
Looking at Aji's appearance, Wang Ye took a deep breath.
This is called personal revenge!
Last time, he poured cold water on me while I was sleeping, and this time, he used a fly swatter to hit flies around me.
If I had been a few inches to the side, the fly would have hit me in an instant.
Aji is a master at the level of a grandmaster, and there is no way a fly can escape from his grasp.
If Aji didn't have any intention of seeking revenge just now, then there would be something fishy going on!
The most important thing is that I can’t say anything about the excuse that Aji used to hit a fly.
Snapped!
Just as Wang Ye was thinking secretly, Aji swatted the fly next to Wang Ye again.
"Aji!"
Hearing this crisp sound, Wang Ye said, "Sweeping the floor may hurt the lives of ants, and protecting moths from the lights. Even though flies are small, they are still lives, so let them go!"
"Just wash your hands and go to the kitchen to help Chen Chong!"
If Aji continues to hit him, sooner or later he will accidentally hit himself in the face with the fly.
"oh……"
Hearing this, Aji responded, dropped the fly swatter in his hand, and walked towards the kitchen.
"You little brat, you have all the magical powers of Buddhism, but you are so petty!"
Looking at Aji's back, Wang Ye shook his head: "I don't know how this grandson learned the Prajna Palm..."
Buzz buzz buzz...
Just as Wang Ye was thinking, a faint sound of flies came from not far away.
“Are there really flies?”
Hearing this, Wang Ye's heart moved: "Did I blame this kid Aji wrongly?"
Buzz buzz buzz...
The sound of flies is intermittent and sounds extremely annoying.
Hearing the sound, Wang Ye looked carefully and saw a fly flying in front of the store.
Eh!
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye sighed lightly.
Be it a false accusation or a personal vendetta.
You must die today!
As he spoke, Wang Ye casually took out a bamboo stick for picking teeth from the counter, moved his hand and shot it out suddenly.
call out!
The bamboo stick shot out like lightning with a sound of breaking wind, piercing the fly directly and nailing it to the wall outside the store.
"call!"
After nailing the fly to death, Wang Ye let out a sigh of relief: "I feel relieved."
…
The next morning.
Wang Ye ignored Aji's resentful eyes and went straight to Tianbao Silver Bank in the east of the city with the profits from the past few days.
Tianbao Silver Bank was the largest silver bank in Jinling City. It could deposit and withdraw silver and goods, and could also pawn or mortgage them.
The money deposited in it can also generate dividends, which is very convenient.
Wang Ye came to the money deposit counter and first took out the forty taels of silver he had received from Aji.
"Hey, Shopkeeper Wang."
Seeing Wang Ye taking out money, the waiter inside hurriedly greeted him: "Are you here to deposit money again?"
"That's right. If you leave the money lying around, it will just gather dust. If you put it here, you can earn some dividends ."
Looking at the guys inside, Wang Ye said with a smile.
"Okay, you're right!"
While chatting with Wang Ye, the clerk quickly weighed the silver: "Oh, forty taels of silver, exactly. It looks like snowflake silver!"
"Whose name are you saving this time?"
"Save it for Aji!"
Hearing this, Wang Ye waved his hand and said lightly.
"Oh, Shopkeeper Wang, you are really generous."
In response to Wang Ye's words, the clerk of the bank said, "The first two times Aji came to help you exchange silver, he said a lot of bad things about you, saying that you are a money-grubber who always deducts his wages and is very black-hearted..."
"He knows nothing!"
After hearing what the waiter said, Wang Ye said, "That rascal Aji has a brain full of paste. If I give him money, he will be cheated out of it in three days."
"I'll keep it here for him first and we'll talk about it later!"
"Also, you can't say a word to him when you see him. Do you hear me?"
There are all kinds of people in the world. Aji is a simple-minded guy. Who knows what will happen if you give him money.
It would be better to save it for him first, and then give it to him when he leaves in the future.
"Okay, you have good intentions!"
Nodding to Wang Ye, the clerk handed him a banknote with a big seal on it and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell him about this."
"Thank you very much"
Wang Ye took the banknote from the clerk and nodded, then took out another 150 taels of silver and handed it over: "Please save this for me too."
"Okay!"
The clerk responded, quickly put the silver away, and began to weigh it for storage.
While the clerk was depositing and withdrawing money, Wang Ye looked around.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but when Wang Ye turned around, his heart moved.
He saw a figure standing not far from him.
The figure was eight feet tall, quite tall, and dressed in white, which gave him a sense of luxury.
Seeing this figure, Wang Ye frowned slightly.
He was quite familiar ...
