"Brother Chang, it's really not true. This is really what happened..." Jiang Ziliu almost cried. How could he lose the deposit he placed in the Qiankun Ring
Jiang Ziliu even had some doubts. Could it be that there was something wrong with the deposit that Jin Hongze gave him? It was some kind of illusion that he couldn't see through? However, this suspicion really makes no sense. If Jin Hongze doesn't want to spend money, then just don't agree to Chang Qingchuan's asking price. Why bother to use this method again.
What's more, even if you really resort to means, what's the use? Do you want me, Jiang Ziliu, to fill this hole? But the problem is that Jin Hongze has already drained his family's wealth by spending such a large amount of money. I, Jiang Ziliu, am a small alchemy master. Even if I can get some benefits from the Lishan School's alchemy hall, I am still far behind the great master of alchemy.
Or maybe he wanted to trick Evergreen Mountain, but the spell time was not calculated correctly? Or, do you want to use your free hand to defeat the wolf, and let the people in the mortal world use their efforts in vain
Jiang Ziliu thought a lot at that moment, but he couldn't figure out how this could happen.
Chang Qingchuan was waiting impatiently, but after all, the other party was a customer and the God of Wealth, so he could only suppress his temper, waved his hand and said: "Brother Jiang, if you forgot to bring the deposit, let's meet again at another time. That’s it.”
"No, Brother Chang, wait a moment, please listen to me!" Jiang Ziliu became anxious immediately, and quickly called Chang Qingchuan, and said calmly: "Brother Chang, please see if you can slow down this deposit matter, first. Please ask the silver medalist to do the job, and we can’t default on it anyway.”
Regarding the deposit, Jiang Ziliu thought about many possibilities, but no matter what the possibility was, it was true that he couldn't get the deposit now. Moreover, he did not dare to go back and talk to Jin Hongze about this matter. If it was really lost in his hands, it would be impossible to wash it off even if it jumped into the sea.
Therefore, Jiang Ziliu had no choice but to speak to Chang Qingchuan, hoping to delay the deposit and let the other party handle the matter first before paying the full bounty.
Chang Qingchuan frowned, looked at Jiang Ziliu, and asked, "Brother Jiang, you are not trying to trick me."
"How is that possible? Even if I cheat someone, I don't have the guts to cheat you, Brother Chang." Jiang Ziliu defended quickly.
However, Chang Qingchuan looked Jiang Ziliu up and down and said unceremoniously: "To be honest, brother Jiang, it's not that I'm a bad person, I really can't trust you. The deposit you should give cannot be less than a penny. When you give the deposit, I can contact someone to take action. "
Jiang Ziliu was forced to have no choice but to say with a dejected face: "Brother Chang, let me tell you the truth. The deposit is indeed ready, but I don't know why. I didn't walk a few steps all the way here. Then The deposit has mysteriously disappeared.”
"Haha, Brother Jiang, this joke of yours is not funny at all. You are also a cultivator. Could it be that you hung the deposit on your waist and got touched by some thief?" Chang Qingchuan didn't believe Jiang at all. Artesian words.
"Brother Chang, everything I said is true!" Jiang Ziliu said with a grimace.
"Okay, Jiang Ziliu, don't talk about those useless things. I think you were tempted by this deposit, so you made up such a ridiculous excuse. What else can you lose? Things will be lost if you put them in the Qiankun Ring. Good guy, you want to get some benefits, but you let me take advantage of you, you are really good at planning!" Chang Qingchuan immediately changed his face.
Even if Jiang Ziliu was telling the truth, the deposit was lost inexplicably, but it had nothing to do with Chang Qingchuan. Moreover, if it is really lost, Chang Qingchuan will not be able to take this risk together. The deposit is not three melons and two dates.
If in the end, the matter is done, and Jin Hongze is only willing to pay half of the bounty, and Jiang Ziliu cannot raise the deposit, who will Chang Qingchuan look for to reason with. That silver medal assassin is not easy to fool. By then, Chang Qingchuan will not make any money, and his life will probably be at stake.
Therefore, Chang Qingchuan patted his butt and stood up, and said to Jiang Ziliu in a bad tone: "Jiang Ziliu, even if the deposit is really lost, it is your business. Don't involve me. When will you pay the deposit?" I've found it, please come back some time and let me contact you."
After saying this, Chang Qingchuan didn't stay any longer, opened the door of the private room and walked away.
In the private room, Jiang Ziliu stared blankly at the open door, feeling his heart beating like a drum, his ears buzzing, and his legs shaking like chaff.
what to do? what to do!
Jiang Ziliu was really desperate. He had lost such a large amount of money. How would he explain it to his master Jin Hongze when he went back? Regardless of whether Jin Hongze believes it or not, he will never be able to escape this responsibility, and the punishment he will receive will not be less.
How about just running away
However, as soon as this thought occurred, Jiang Ziliu himself extinguished it. If he could really escape, he would have just taken the money and ran away when he got the deposit. Why wait until the deposit was lost before escaping
After much deliberation, Jiang Ziliu left the restaurant, as numb as a zombie, and moved towards Jin Hongze's house step by step with difficulty. In his mind, every step he took seemed to be heading towards the execution ground, and if he stopped, he would fall into the abyss.
At this time, Ye Zan had returned to the gate of Liu Qian's house, and the disguise on his face had been lifted. He heard and saw every detail of the conversation between Jiang Ziliu and Chang Qingchuan, as if he was watching a play immersively.
Ye Zan was quite satisfied with this result. On the one hand, he made a fortune, but on the other hand, the three people had conflicts and gaps because of the money. It is conceivable that after Jiang Ziliu went back and reported the loss of the deposit to Jin Hongze, all kinds of suspicion and resentment would inevitably arise between the master and the disciple.
"Elder Ye, when did you go out?" The door suddenly opened, Liu Qian and Qi Qianjun walked out, and saw Ye Zan standing in front of the door with a smile.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just went out for a walk." Ye Zan said with a smile.
"Uncle Master seems to be in a good mood today." Qi Qianjun said from the side.
"It's indeed good." Ye Zan smiled again and thought to himself: With an income of more than 100,000 spirit stones, and even cheating Master and Disciple Jin Hongze, this is certainly a good mood!
However, Liu Qian's face was full of worry and he said to Ye Zan: "Elder Ye, that assassin dares to take action in the city now. I think we should be more careful. It is best not to go out alone."
Liu Qian experienced an assassination. Although he was rescued by Ye Zan in time, there was still some shadow in his heart. After all, he was just an alchemist. Even though he had been hunted down before, he still couldn't adapt to this kind of thing.
"Haha, Elder Liu is right, are you going out?" Ye Zan did not say anything to reassure Liu Qian. After all, under the current circumstances, it is good to be more vigilant. Jin Hongze couldn't afford to hire a silver medal assassin, but he still had enough money left to hire a bronze medal assassin like before.
However, thinking of this, Ye Zan started to think again. Should he go meet Jin Hongze for a while and completely empty out the other person's wealth
After hearing Ye Zan's question, Liu Qian nodded and said, "I was invited by fellow Taoist Yan to attend a party for alchemy exchanges. Would Elder Ye want to go with him?"
"I'll forget it, I have other things to do, so I won't cause trouble for you." Ye Zan waved his hand, and then said to Qi Qianjun: "Old Qi, be more vigilant and protect Elder Liu. If you really encounter Whatever happens, don’t forget the things I gave you.”
"Uncle, don't worry." Qi Qianjun cupped his hands and said.
After Liu Gan was assassinated, Ye Zan asked Qi Qianjun to be Liu Gan's bodyguard temporarily and gave him some props. These props, including the first-aid nano-repair fluid and some things used for detection and defense, are all standard equipment for bodyguards in the technological world.
Liu Qian and Qi Qianjun went out, while Ye Zan returned to his yard, got into the house and continued watching the show.
Step by step, Jiang Ziliu finally moved back to Jin Hongze's house. After a fierce psychological struggle, he finally did not dare to escape directly.
"How is it? Has the matter been done? Did Chang Qingchuan say when will the matter be done this time?" After seeing Jiang Ziliu, Jin Hongze was so eager to know the result that he did not notice Jiang Ziliu's abnormality. .
When Jiang Ziliu heard this, he knelt on the ground with a loud bang, and said to Jin Hongze with a mournful face: "Master, this disciple is incompetent, so I'll throw away the... deposit you gave me,... the deposit... I'll... throw it away!"
"Deposit, what, what did you say!" Jin Hongze thought about Jiang Ziliu's words twice before he finally realized what the other party meant. He stood up in shock and asked Jiang Ziliu, "You give it to me again?" Tell me again, what happened to the deposit?”
"Lost... lost, lost the deposit, disciple is incompetent, please master punish me!" Jiang Ziliu lay on the ground, with his forehead on the ground, not daring to lift even a little, his whole body shaking like chaff.
"Lost? You mean, you didn't give the deposit to Chang Qingchuan, but you lost the deposit I gave you in such a short period of time?" Jin Hongze's face was full of disbelief.
Just kidding, if something is placed in the Qiankun Ring, unless the finger is chopped off, how can it be easily lost? What's more, looking at Jiang Ziliu's hands, it was obvious that they were still intact, and the Qiankun Ring was still on his fingers.
"Yes, Master, I don't know what's going on. The deposit was clearly placed in the Qiankun Ring, but when I saw Chang Qingchuan and wanted to take it out for him, I realized that the deposit was gone." Jiang Ziliu I cried so much that my nose and tears made the ground wet.
However, Jin Hongze didn't believe it at all. He kicked Jiang Ziliu on the shoulder, knocking him around a few times, and then said bitterly: "Evil disciple, are you going to betray me too! Say, that deposit Where have you been? Don’t think that making up such a reason will make me let you go!”
