However, before going to see his junior sister, he had to solve his own troubles first.
Although Wu Qingde is young, only in his twenties, he has been in Qianmen for more than ten years.
If you cheat a lot, and you cheat all the rich and powerful, it is inevitable that you will miss it. Wu Qingde fell down once not long ago. He was in Jianye, the capital city of Wu State, and brought a group of subordinates, pretending to be the young master who came to Jianye to seek an official.
He went around first, pretending to treat guests and give gifts everywhere to ask for an official. After he became famous, he pretended to have a door suddenly. A prince was willing to recommend him as an official, but he only asked for a heavy bribe. He had to reluctantly give up his love, and sold a rare ancient painting passed down from his ancestors.
He tricked an old princess.
The old princess was chosen because he found out that the old princess was not popular in Wu.
Jane and the princess, who are fifty-six years old, are old and widowed, and have no contact with their relatives.
However, Jane and the princess were also very favored in the early years, and accumulated a large amount of family property. Although they spent a lot of money later, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse. Compared with ordinary officials, she is still extremely rich.
Wu Qingde felt that the old county owner was stupid and had a lot of money, and no friends would remind her, so it should be easy to cheat.
He asked someone to go to the old Princess, and after complaining, he said that he would sell the famous painting to her at a 20% discount.
Don't tell me, the old princess was really fooled.
Wu Qingde offered one million taels of silver, but the old princess counter-offered to seven hundred thousand taels. Wu Qingde sold it with tears in his eyes. But the old princess didn't have that much cash on hand.
Wu Qingde suggested that she use jewelry to cover the debt, and the old princess took out the jewelry accumulated over the years, and after all the calculations, the total value was over one million taels.
Wu Qingde suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, lowered the prices under various names, and swept away the jewelry of the old princess, leaving behind the fake painting. Wu Qingde immediately led his men to escape from Jianye. He thought that this time, he could spend ten years as much as he wanted. If you are smarter and buy some property, you can even wash your hands in the golden basin.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left Jianye, he found himself wanted by the government.
The shadow figure is hunting itself.
Wu Qingde didn't understand what went wrong, but he knew that he had to hide his name immediately. He buried most of his treasures in a mountain, took out one hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and divided them up with his subordinates. He made an appointment to meet at a place a year later, and a group of people scattered and fled.
Unfortunately, as if seeing a ghost, a team of detectives pursued Wu Qingde closely. No matter how Wu Qingde dresses up or sneaks, he will always be caught up.
Yesterday, Wu Qingde met a headhunter on a narrow road. After a fierce battle, he escaped by chance, but he fainted when he escaped here.
Li Huaide guessed that guy should be dead, otherwise he would not be reborn in this body.
Li Huaide touched his body, but he was not injured. He took out the camouflage items that Wu Qingde carried with him, and re-dressed himself as an ugly young man with a large black spot on his face and a layer of black hair growing on it. It's disgusting to see.
Wu Qingde liked to pretend to be a handsome scholar or noble son, while Li Huaide disguised himself as an ugly warrior on purpose. He was skeptical about Wu Qingde being followed all the time, so he searched carefully for the clothes he had changed, and smelled the scent of chasing souls in a purse that he carried with him.
Soul chasing incense is commonly used by Taoists, and it is mostly sprinkled on the road or on the body where monsters haunt, and is used to track escaped monsters.
Li Huaide hurriedly threw the purse away.
Li Huaide's makeup technique is much better than Wu Qingde's.
After putting on his disguise, he immediately ran away. Not long after he left, he met two captors who came to hunt Wu Qingde.
A middle-aged head catcher took a look at Li Huaide and thought he was really ugly.
He turned his head away in disgust.
The old head catcher next to him kept staring at Li Huaide. He felt that this guy was a bit like Wu Qingde.
Li Huaide put on a vicious look, and shouted: "What are you looking at, what the hell, you deserve a beating, right?"
When the old head catcher heard this, his doubts disappeared. Because Wu Qingde ran away quickly when he saw them, he absolutely didn't dare to provoke them like this.
The middle-aged head catcher quit. As a famous catcher, he was respected everywhere. Even Taoist priests would greet him politely sometimes.
An ugly, unknown warrior dared to yell at him, how could he bear it
The middle-aged Catcher immediately stepped forward, and said with a sneer, "It's your good fortune to look at you twice. Would you like to see you look like this?"
Li Huaide's face turned red due to luck, and he pretended to be angry and said: "Hold the grass, the last one who dared to say that you are ugly, now the grass on the grave is ten feet high. If you say it again, I will dig a hole and bury you on the spot." .”
The middle-aged headhunter would not be afraid, so he flashed his steel knife and said, "Mother, come and see who bury whom!"
With his nostrils up, Li Huaide casually broke a branch by the side of the road and said, "Come on, come on, if I don't poke you seventeen or eight holes, I'm not a good man!"
As he spoke, he intended to save the branch, stabbed it twice falsely, and Chunshui Jianyi came out casually, which stunned the two arresting chiefs.
The middle-aged headhunter suddenly didn't dare to make a sound.
He never expected that the ugly man in front of him would actually have sword intent. Those who know sword intent are all top masters, and they are strong men who can fight against Taoist priests. He is far from being an opponent with a head catcher.
The old catcher was still watching coldly, but now he hurried over to smooth things over with a smile.
"My lord, my brother is chasing fugitives. He has chased thousands of miles, but he has not caught them. He can't deal with his boss, so he is irritable and irritable. Your lord has a lot, so don't care about us. Please raise your hand , when we come to Jianye in the future, we will treat you to a drink."
Li Huaide said with a sneer: "I haven't had any wine before, so I'm missing your meal?"
The old catcher laughed and said: "Of course not, this is just our intention to make amends. You are a top expert, and we are just poor little catchers. It's just that we are entrusted with the emperor's order to arrest criminals, and we are about to make a mistake. , I'm afraid I'll hurt your old man."
He said this softly, meaning that it doesn't matter if you kill us, but we are dealing with a big case now, so you are not afraid of being misunderstood and involved as a criminal
Li Huaide was shocked when he heard this, and tentatively said: "Tsk, there is another matter, I haven't heard of any major cases recently!"
The old catcher said with a wry smile: "That's because no one has been caught yet, so I didn't spread it to the outside world. When someone is caught, you will know."
Seeing that the old man was tight-lipped and refused to disclose the case, Li Huaide stroked his two beards and said, "Old man, you are not fooling me, are you?"
The old head catcher smiled wryly and said: "Although we have no skills, we are still people with dignity. My name is Ying Cheng, and I am the chief head catcher of the Wu Kingdom. Shadow God Catcher. You may have heard of our name. If you still don’t believe me, would you like the little old man to show you his waist card?”
Li Huaide was startled, seeing the old man gesturing to take his badge, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, you guys go away, be careful what you say next time."
The two catchers hurried away.
They never dreamed that Li Huaide was the prisoner they wanted to catch, and they were still glad that they escaped.
