Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 57 Account Balance
It was broad daylight, but the guards and servants beside the Yang family's carriage felt that the whole world was dark. Their hearts were trembling, fearing that those great masters would crush them to death.
finally……
They felt that the terrifying mental power had disappeared, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can we move?" a guard whispered.
"Who knows if there is anyone watching us secretly? If we dare to move, we will be killed."
"These four masters have been very merciful in sparing our lives. Don't anger them."
"Just bear with it, you can survive if you bear with it!"
These guards and servants just stayed where they were, not daring to move a step.
For those of them who are used to living on the edge of a knife, if they can be obedient and endure for a stick of incense, they will almost certainly survive.
If you don't obey, you may die.
How to choose? No need to think too much.
…
Xu Jingming and three others took Yang Liao and easily found an abandoned house with the help of their spiritual power.
They quietly jumped over the wall and entered the yard. Xu Jingming walked to the front of the house and pushed it gently, and the dusty door opened.
"Bang."
After entering the house, Xu Jingming threw it casually.
Bang! Yang Liao fell to the ground. Although his body seemed paralyzed, his hands were still able to exert force. He quickly supported himself and sat against the wall, looking at the four people in front of him flatteringly: "Four masters, I am Yang Liao, and my father is the head of the Yang family, 'Yang Muyang'. If you have any requests, just ask, but don't kill me."
Yang Liao knew very well when to be timid and when to be soft.
"Chief, you are so lucky." An eighth-level master said with a smile .
"It's really good luck."
“I’m envious.”
The three eighth-level masters were talking to each other.
Xu Jingming looked confused: "Good luck?"
"Chief, aren't you here for the money? The second young master of the Yang family is carrying a considerable sum of money." An eighth-rank master stretched out his hand, tore open Yang Liao's robe, and took off Yang Liao's golden belt.
Yang Liao was extremely heartbroken watching this scene, this was almost all of his savings. He wanted to stop it with both hands, but he didn't dare to move. He just watched with great pain as the other party took away the belt.
"What is this?" Xu Jingming looked at the cloth belt.
"Look." The eighth-level master pulled the belt slightly and saw gold bars inserted inside the belt.
The color of gold is restrained but breathtaking.
Xu Jingming's eyes lit up, he took it, weighed it briefly, and confirmed its weight: "It weighs about fifty kilograms, which is a full five thousand gold."
"This is too good luck." Although the three eighth-level masters sighed, they all watched this scene calmly. Their income was already very high, and without taking any risks, it was not difficult for them to make hundreds of millions of universe coins a year.
In addition, the two parties have an employment contract. If the contract is violated, not only will all the gold that has been embezzled have to be handed over, but a huge amount of compensation will also be paid. In addition, the reputation of the Wanjie Group will be greatly reduced.
Not to mention thousands of gold, even if there were hundreds of thousands of gold in front of them, they would not embezzle it.
Because of embezzlement...
Wanjie Group can sue them! As long as there is money in their personal accounts, it will be deducted! Until all the "compensation" is paid.
Therefore, hiring through Wanjie Group is trustworthy.
Of course, if you use a huge amount of wealth to tempt a fifth- or sixth-level star life, the other party may choose to...go bankrupt on the surface, but also embezzle and transfer the wealth. So trust also depends on the object.
"Five thousand gold, just like that!" Xu Jingming was also surprised.
This is entirely your own gain!
This is the largest income I have ever earned since I came into contact with the virtual world!
I didn't expect this income to come so suddenly!
That’s how things are in this world! Sometimes you pursue something but can’t get it, and sometimes you dare not hope for it, but a surprise falls from the sky.
"After I finish this matter, I will also take a good look around the imperial capital. Maybe I can make a few thousand gold." An eighth-level master said with emotion.
"There are so many people in the entire imperial capital, how many people would carry thousands of gold with them?"
"Releasing the power of the mind will cause people to be afraid, so it cannot be released casually."
"The leader was just lucky."
The three of them chatted.
They all understood that if they captured a random child of a big family, he would carry thousands of gold with him. This was pure luck and could not be replicated.
"Why do you carry so much gold and silver?" Xu Jingming looked at Yang Liao and asked.
"My Lords," Yang Liao said with a smile, "Didn't the Western Regions army of the Empire lose the war? The rebel army may attack the imperial capital in the future, so I felt that it was not safe to keep the gold and silver in the bank, so I took it out! I didn't dare to leave it at home, for fear that it would be stolen by other family members, so I carried it with me when I went out."
Yang Liao himself had not expected that he would have to leave the imperial capital in a few days. Today he took a rare trip out for the sake of his beauty, but he was caught and all his gold was gone.
"Do you think it's unsafe to keep gold and silver in a money shop?" Xu Jingming smiled.
After capturing the head steward of the Yang Mansion, Xu Jingming realized that the money house was not safe and took out the gold and silver he had deposited.
However, he did not carry it with him. Instead, he divided it into several portions and hid it.
"Catch you here. Whether I will kill you or not depends on your performance." Xu Jingming said. Wearing a human skin mask, any expression on his face looked hideous and stiff, which made Yang Liao even more frightened.
"I will definitely perform well." Yang Liao said immediately.
"Here are the paper and the pen." Xu Jingming took out the long-prepared brush and a charcoal pencil from his arms, "Draw out the entire layout of the Yang Mansion, and then explain it to me in detail. If you make any mistakes, you will die."
"yes."
Yang Liao immediately took the charcoal pencil and started drawing.
As long as you survive, there is nothing you can't sell.
Having lived in the Yang Mansion for a long time, Yang Liao was very familiar with the layout of his home and was able to draw it clearly very quickly.
"It's finished." Yang Liao said immediately, "Let me explain in detail. This is the main gate. Entering the main gate is a huge front yard. There are hundreds of houses against the wall in the front yard. They are all residences of the guards..."
Yang Liao spoke carefully.
After talking for a while, he finally finished his brief account.
Xu Jingming took out a folded intelligence map from his arms and compared it: "Well, he is quite obedient and did not lie." Then he threw the intelligence map on the ground.
When Yang Liao took a look, he found that the intelligence map was obviously much more exquisite, and the record of the Yang Mansion was even more detailed than what he had introduced.
“The masters all know this?” Yang Liao smiled, feeling extremely frightened.
Fortunately...
Fortunately, I didn't dare to lie! If I had lied, I would have died!
"Next question, same thing. If you tell a lie, you will die." Xu Jingming, who was wearing a human skin mask, spoke in a cold voice and threw another piece of paper on the ground. The paper was filled with names.
"Your Yang family plans to send out teams to leave the imperial capital. Tell me, how many teams are there? Who are in each team? And you need to give a brief introduction to the information of these people." Xu Jingming pointed at the paper on the ground. "It records the names of many members of the Yang family. In case you can't remember, you can use these names to answer me."
Yang Liao's face turned pale, and he said, "I only know part of it! I'm not sure how many members of the Yang family left the imperial capital this time."
"Tell me everything you know." Xu Jingming said, "Based on what you tell me, I will decide whether to kill you or not."
"I'll tell you."
Yang Liao immediately said, "First, I will lead a team myself. My team will have more than 30 members of the Yang family, most of whom are from side branches. There are also more than 200 guards."
"Who are the more than thirty members of the Yang family, and who are the more than two hundred guards?" Xu Jingming asked coldly.
…
Yang Liao was interrogated for half an hour and felt dizzy, so he told everything he knew.
"You only know three teams." Xu Jingming shook his head.
"These are the three teams I determined based on the conversation between my father and Third Uncle." Yang Liao said immediately, "Family members and guards of the Yang family, I have told you everything you know."
"Then let me ask you one last question."
Xu Jingming's eyes turned cold, "Where are all the gold that the Yang family exchanged hidden?"
Yang Liao was stunned.
"This is the last question. If you answer it well, you live. If you answer it badly... you know the result." Xu Jingming looked at him.
"I said." Yang Liao's voice trembled, "It's in the inner courtyard of Yang Mansion."
As he spoke, Yang Liao pointed to the map he had drawn earlier and began to explain in detail.
"This vault is full of hidden mechanisms. I don't know what they are. I've only been in there once." Yang Liao said.
"Well, pretty honest."
Xu Jingming stepped forward.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me." Yang Liao was terrified.
Xu Jingming briefly checked his body and took away a brocade bag and a jade pendant.
"He has two to three thousand taels of silver for his personal use." Xu Jingming checked and praised, "You are indeed the son of the Yang family."
Yang Liao was shivering.
Xu Jingming picked up the paper on the ground and turned away with the three eighth-level masters.
Yang Liao leaned against the wall and waited for a moment before he was sure that the four terrifying masters were really gone.
"Didn't kill me? I survived?" Yang Liao was extremely excited at this moment. He supported himself on the ground with his hands and slowly moved his body to barely move his spine. After all, he was a top-notch master. After a while of movement, his spine finally returned to normal.
Only then did Yang Liao get up.
"These four people are really soft-hearted." Yang Liao was surprised and happy, "Not only did they not kill me, they didn't completely destroy me either."
"Hahaha……"
Yang Liao was excited and thought to himself, "If you fall one day, it will be because you are too soft-hearted."
Yang Liao immediately slipped out of the house and quickly rushed towards the Yang Mansion.
…
The moment Yang Liao stepped over the threshold of the main gate of the Yang Mansion, he felt completely safe.
"Second Young Master."
"Second Young Master, you are back?" The guards of Yang Mansion came to greet him immediately. They had heard that Second Young Master Yang was abducted by a master, and they were secretly happy: "It's good to capture him, it's better to kill him."
Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, Yang Liao escaped back alone.
"snort."
Yang Liao didn't bother to pay attention to these guards and went straight into the mansion.
"Liao'er." Soon Yang Liao saw his father, Yang Muyang.
Yang Muyang is a heroic figure with a rugged face, sharp eyes, and first-rate strength. Under his leadership, the Yang family has grown stronger. Although it cannot be compared with those ancient big families in the imperial capital, it can be regarded as one of the second-rate families.
"Were you kidnapped by four masters?" Yang Muyang asked.
"Yes." Yang Liao was still in shock and said immediately, "They arrested me but didn't kill me. It should be for our Yang Mansion."
"Tell me in detail everything you have experienced." Yang Muyang said calmly.
Yang Liao then told everything, of course... he didn't tell anyone about his 'five thousand gold'! He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his father.
The more he disappointed his father, the less gold and silver he might get when he left the imperial capital. Yang Liao still cared a lot about his image in his father's heart.
"I asked about the layout of the Yang Mansion. All the people in the Yang Mansion? The teams that left the Yang Mansion? And... the treasury?" Yang Muyang nodded. "These four people should be just the tip of the iceberg of the enemy's forces. They should be targeting our Yang family's treasury."
"I think so too. If they are dealing with any team we send out, they don't need to be so cautious." Yang Muyang said, "Only when targeting the vault do we need to find out the details first."
Yang Muyang nodded: "Ever since I took out the gold and put it in the mansion, I guessed that it would arouse the envy of some forces, but I didn't expect that they would dare to arrest you and interrogate you so blatantly!"
“But these four people are quite kind-hearted. They didn’t use any brutal force on either my guards or me,” Yang Liao said.
"Tender-hearted?"
Yang Muyang shook his head. “People with spiritual power that high would be merciless! They just… didn’t pay attention to you. They might even have deliberately alerted you.”
Yang Liao was stunned.
Never cared?
"Deliberately alerting the enemy?" Yang Liao wondered.
"For example, their hostile forces have set their sights on the Yang family's treasury, and they are using this as an excuse to have us step up our vigilance against the treasury, so that the hostile forces will suffer even more." Yang Muyang said calmly, "Of course, this is just my guess. These people may also have other purposes."
"But no matter what, I will let those who want to take the Yang family's vault know that the Yang family is not easy to mess with." Yang Muyang's eyes were cold, "I dare to build a vault, and I believe that no one can steal it!"
…
In a secret residence of Xu Jingming.
"The Yang family's treasury contains hundreds of thousands of gold?" Xu Jingming returned to his residence, changed his clothes, and shook his head. "The previous harvest was a little larger, which attracted the Blood Rain Guards to hunt us down, and also attracted the Demon Lord Ying Wuxie, Feng Yuyan from the Courtesan Palace, and Elder Tianji of the Beggar Gang."
“If I were to rob hundreds of thousands of gold, even if I managed to get it after going through so much hardship, what kind of world would be against me?” Xu Jingming shuddered at the thought.
It is estimated that a few old monsters might appear directly from the imperial capital, massacre his team, and take away his gains.
“I’m a player.”
"You have to control your ambition." Xu Jingming understood this. "We have collected all the intelligence we need to collect this time, and we have achieved our goal of alerting the enemy. Now we just need to wait for the opportunity to act."
"I have accumulated more and more gold and silver, and it's not safe to keep them with me all the time." Xu Jingming looked at the box of gold.
Previously, Xu Jingming had to hide his nearly three thousand gold treasure separately.
Now all the wealth accumulated was over 8,000 gold and hidden in the houses, and Xu Jingming felt uneasy.
“It’s better to sell it online first.”
"It's just a little agency fee! At least the property can be guaranteed to be safe." Xu Jingming doesn't dare to stay in a money shop now. Given the current situation in the imperial capital, a money shop might go bankrupt one day.
Xu Jingming immediately realized that he had left the virtual world and started online transactions through the Wanjie Group.
Just one hour later.
Then a guest found the house where Xu Jingming lived.
"Brother Jing." An amiable old man came over with a middle-aged man, "I'm here again."
"Come in." Xu Jingming let the two in and closed the door.
"Brother Jing is really good at making gold and silver. Not long after the last transaction, you made another profit?" The old man said with a smile.
Xu Jingming's name in Wanjie Group is the word "Jing".
"Luck." Xu Jingming led the two into the house and dragged out the box that had been prepared long ago. There was gold and silver in it, which was exactly eight thousand gold.
This was almost all of Xu Jingming's accumulation in the Blood Rain World. He only had a few hundred taels of silver and a jade pendant of Yang Liao.
"Exactly 10,000 gold."
The old man skillfully took out a waist bag from his arms. Inside the waist bag were twenty pieces of gold, a total of two thousand gold. "Mr. Lu, you can make the sacrifice now."
The middle-aged man nodded and began to offer sacrifices.
Buzz~~~
The light enveloped the middle-aged man and the gold and silver in the box.
Wow.
The middle-aged man and the gold and silver disappeared into thin air, leaving only an empty box.
"The transaction was successful." The old man smiled and said, "Brother Jing, you have to take care of my business in the future."
"816 million cosmic coins have been deposited into your account, balance: 908.2 million cosmic coins, the other party's account: Wanjie Group." Xu Jingming also received a message from the virtual world network.
