Chapter 19 Only Living People Can Extract Surplus Value
Chapter 19 Only living people can extract surplus value
Chu Qianqiu is a very patient person, otherwise he would not go through the cycle again and again, looking for a way out.
After discovering that he was being followed, of course he would not take action directly, but would continue to the Xiao Mansion calmly.
This time he entered the Xiao Family Courtyard, and he discovered some mysteries after becoming sharper and smarter. The seemingly comfortable Xiao Family Courtyard also hid murderous intentions. Some captive masters cast their eyes from time to time, seeming to judge the danger of Chu Qianqiu.
.
Although these are not innate masters, they are at least accomplished at accumulating energy.
Along the entire Xiao family compound, there were at least seven or eight masters in the Qi stage checking themselves. It would be quite a force to unite.
After all, the Xiao family is rich and can support many diners and thugs.
For martial arts masters to advance before innateness, the most important thing is not talent, but money.
It seems that people who can become famous in Baixiang Town, even the most humble businessmen, have their own methods.
Chu Qianqiu was even filled with emotion.
If I had the ability from the beginning, I'm afraid the people from Six Doors wouldn't be able to catch me at all.
There is no need to go to the dark prison and endure the torture of the Iron Thousand Mountains to extract confessions.
Although the first transformation of "Celestial Silkworm's Nine Transformations Battle Body" can bring out the monster strength of an ox-tiger, a hundred-step divine movement, strong skin and strong bones, etc., which can greatly improve the combat effectiveness.
But looking at it now, the first change to spawn the smart ears and eyesight is actually the most suitable.
This can improve Chu Qianqiu's observation and perception abilities to a level that ordinary Qi accumulation masters can't hide from.
Although the Six Gates family has a big business, it is not so luxurious as to send out innate masters just to monitor a martial arts novice who is in the training stage.
After several experiences, Chu Qianqiu became more confident in avoiding the pursuit of the six doors, and could even sneak them around.
Even when negotiating with Xiao Changfeng, Chu Qianqiu was able to guess that his true price was at least thirty thousand taels by observing the subtle changes in his expression.
However, Chu Qianqiu didn't need that much silver for the time being. He came to Xiao Changfeng just to try to replicate the actions of the last cycle, reduce variables, and get more useful information from this well-informed person.
For example, when negotiating, I inadvertently asked
"How is Master Guyang of the Yuanyang Sect like a person?"
"Master Juemi of Fahua Temple is a good friend of my father, but I don't know what he likes. Does President Xiao know about it?"
"How old is Miss Yuan Qin from Baixiang Pavilion? What are her hobbies and interests? Is she married? Ahem..."
As for whether Xiao Changfeng's answer was true or false, Chu Qianqiu didn't care at all.
People cannot step into the same river. If they lie, they may tell different lies at the same time.
Why do Liumen like to ask the same questions over and over again during interrogation?
Because people can't even remember the lies they tell casually. They forget them as soon as they are told, and they are wrong as soon as they ask.
So as long as you ask a few times, the information you keep and control will be true.
Xiao Changfeng handed over the banknote as always, but Chu Qianqiu did not return home like the last time, but wandered around the streets, walking through the streets and alleys, using the complex terrain and flexible movement to test who was following him.
ability.
The man followed closely at first, for fear of losing Chu Qianqiu, but after a while he seemed to notice something was wrong and gradually took two steps back.
"During the body-building period, I guess accumulating energy does not count. Six doors really saves money."
"Looks like he's just a little guy, but he's pretty smart."
"It's a pity it's too late."
Chu Qianqiu sneered. Although the other party had retreated, he was still within his range of perception.
Now the positions of the hunter and the prey are reversed.
Quicklime, sap, rope, sacks, and scissors are all available.
These guys who are commonly used in green-skinned fights in the town are not difficult to buy. The trouble is how to avoid the sight so that others cannot guess that it is Chu Qianqiu, so it takes a little more effort.
He first changed his clothes, bought two masks, and used a headscarf to disguise himself. Although it attracted more attention, it was all worth it.
Chu Qianqiu just wanted to get rid of the informant and buy precious time. After the informant was gone, it would take at least a few more hours for Liu Men to investigate his movements.
And these few hours are enough to put yourself in a stage of complete freedom.
Speaking of which, following the eyeliner behind Chu Qianqiu's butt was a skinny young man with short hair and a short shirt.
His name is Qing Fen, and he is a Qingpi from Baixiang Town.
There are military camps, martial arts halls, Yuanyang Sect, Fahua Temple, and Baixiang Pavilion near Baixiang Town. These are all behemoths, and there is almost no room for gangs to survive.
Behind every industry there is a backstage, whether it is the county magistrate, the sect, or even the army itself.
I don’t want to die for those mere local gangsters who can collect protection money from them.
But Qingpi still exists because there are too many farmers who have lost their land.
They poured into cities and towns in search of job opportunities, trying to exchange their strength for food, but it was hard to find food.
A long-term worker had no days off for a year and was only paid two taels of silver. When Qing Fen first entered the city, he still had dreams, but after working for two years, he was completely overwhelmed by life.
He lived frugally and did not dare to go to the hospital when he was sick. He only saved 2 taels of silver.
As for the land outside the town, one acre of land is sold for 10 taels of silver, and the price is still rising every year.
It is very likely that he has worked for the landlord Lao Cai for twenty years, but he still cannot afford to buy two or three acres of land and live the pastoral life his father told him.
Because he was his father's tenth son, the family had no land to allocate to him.
So Qingfen was desperate.
He no longer wants to carry sacks, he wants to stand out, and he wants to practice martial arts. Martial arts training is the most luxurious and highest-level promotion ladder in the world.
There are many giants in Baixiang Town, and there is no real gang organization, but the big shots need a white glove to squeeze the last blood and tears of the lower class people at the lowest cost, so these gangs are born.
For example, Liumen needs to recruit countless informants, but they are unwilling to spend too much money for this. They want to spend 1 tael of silver to achieve the effect of 10 taels of silver, so they incorporated these gangs.
Contrary to what most people imagine, after Qing Fen joined a gang, his income was even lower because the gang bosses swallowed up all the income or handed it over to big shots.
But he could endure it because he wanted to stand out and because he saw the hope of practicing martial arts.
In order to make these informants more effective, Liumen released the most basic martial arts secrets, such as the "Tietou Kung Fu" practiced by Qing Fen.
Although this is an unpopular Kung Fu book, Qing Fen studied it very carefully. If he didn't know the words, he would ask the teacher in the private school for help. With a bit of cleverness, he was able to practice it well.
So he was smart and studious and was promoted by the gang boss, who gave him a relatively relaxed position, following Chu Qianqiu.
As long as he records Chu Qianqiu's daily necessities, he will have a lot of time for himself.
Qing Fen did an outstanding job, not only because he had learned to read people's emotions since he was a child, but also because he was jealous of Chu Qianqiu.
The two have never really met and have no hatred, but Qing Fen does hate each other.
Perhaps in Chu Qianqiu's view, a family of one hundred households has just entered the stage of food and clothing. Compared with those real dignitaries, children of aristocratic families, and direct descendants of sects, they are extremely humble.
But in Qing Fen's eyes, Chu Qianqiu's life was like paradise.
He practiced martial arts and was taught seriously by instructors from the martial arts hall. He practiced internal martial arts produced by Zhenwu Sect, one of the two most sacred places in the world.
In his daily life, as long as he inherits the position of a hundred households, even if he does nothing all year round, the court will pay him a salary of 60 taels, not counting two sets of military uniforms, casual suits and other benefits every year.
This was a huge sum of money that he could not imagine.
When Qing Fen was kicked out of his home by his father, he had nothing but the rations in his backpack and a change of clothes.
The two were about the same age, but he felt that the other was living in heaven, while he was struggling in hell.
If we make an inappropriate analogy, those children of aristocratic families and direct descendants of sects are like eagles and golden eagles soaring in the sky. The military personnel in the martial arts hall are like sparrows fluttering in the woods. Then Qingfen is looking up at the sparrows on the ground.
insect.
If you are not careful, you will be eaten by the early bird, leaving no bones left.
So how could he not hate Chu Qianqiu?
Qing Fen inexplicably wished the other party bad luck. If Chu Qianqiu was in trouble, he might laugh on the sidelines. You, a young master from an aristocratic family, would be like this too.
So he worked more actively than Six Doors required.
But there seems to be a little problem today.
The other party actually discovered him.
It's impossible. The teacher who came to teach me at Liumen also said that he has some talent for tracking.
Qing Fen felt very nervous. He was just a young man who had practiced the most rudimentary outer martial arts "Tietou Kung Fu" in the world. How could he defeat a noble son of a hundred households and an apprentice in a martial arts hall?
No matter how big or small his opponent is, he can eat meat every day. Qing Fen can only ask for a few pieces of meat from the landlord Lao Cai during the holidays. On weekdays, he can only eat steamed buns. If he gets into a fight, he will be pinned to the ground.
Beat violently.
So he quickly took two steps back, and ended up losing Chu Qianqiu.
"This is bad. If you go back and report it to the boss, you will definitely be blamed."
"what to do?"
Qing Fen was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, but he was a somewhat witty person after all, and he quickly thought of a question.
"By the way, Chu Qianqiu must go home. I will go to his house to guard him. If you don't believe him, he won't come back."
Thinking of this, Qing Fen quickly went to Chu's house and hid in a nearby alley, which was where he usually observed.
As a result, an accident happened this time. When he was walking in the alley and squatting down, a black shadow came from behind him.
boom!
It turned out that Chu Qianqiu took the lead, lurked behind him, picked up the sap and struck Qing Fen in the head.
"ah!"
Qing Fen let out a scream, but as expected of a talented person who practiced Tietou Kung Fu, he didn't faint yet, and even forced himself to turn his head to see who had attacked him.
"You, you are?"
"You're pretty hard."
Chu Qianqiu was also slightly surprised, and quickly hit him with another sap, causing him to fall unconscious and fall to the ground.
When Qing Fen woke up again, he had been tied tightly with ropes and was in a dark room.
Before Chu Qianqiu could ask, Qing Fen wailed loudly:
"Sir, spare your life. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child. I have no money in my pocket and my family has no real estate. You won't gain anything by killing me."
"Spare your life, spare your life."
"If you scream again, I'll castrate you."
Chu Qianqiu smiled and took out the scissors and made two gestures in front of his crotch, which scared Qing Fen and stopped him quickly.
What kind of hero is this? He's too vicious.
We Qingpi fights are just fights, so we can't fight directly here.
"I'll ask you questions, don't talk too much nonsense."
"Who are you, what is your background, what martial arts skills you have practiced, and who sent you here."
In the crisis of his little brother's life and death, Qing Fen immediately told the whole story about himself, even the boss was betrayed.
"I said, I said."
"My name is Qing Fen, Boss Wang sent me here!"
…
"You are really a talent. In such an environment, it is really not easy for you to be able to practice Iron Tou Gong in a decent manner."
Chu Qianqiu listened carefully to the other party's information and asked it twice in succession, but it was accurate.
Now the anger in my heart has dissipated a little. This is a world that turns people into ghosts. It seems that there is no point in venting my anger towards Liumen on such a small person.
For him, there was a better way to deal with it.
"Yes, yes, I have no choice but to do it. Boss Wang forced me to do it."
"If the hero is willing to take her in, I'm willing to do whatever I can to help you."
"The work of dogs and horses."
"Yes, yes, that's it."
When Qing Fen heard this, he immediately threw all the pots on Boss Wang's head.
"You can avoid the crime of death, but you cannot escape the crime of living. Eat this." Chu Qianqiu didn't want to kill anyone, so he picked up a clay pill and placed it in front of Qing Fen with a smile.
"You can't eat it, you can't eat it." Qing Fen shook his head like a wave and his face turned green.
He also heard stories told by writers, which were clearly poison to control people.
"If you don't eat, you'll die, but if you eat, you'll live."
"I'll eat, I'll eat." Qing Fen swallowed the mud ball with tears in his eyes, and Chu Qianqiu clapped his hands with satisfaction.
"This medicine is called Qi Chong Qi Hua Pill. If there is no antidote within a month, seven worms will crawl out and eat all your internal organs, and then you will bleed to death."
"Sir, spare your life, I was wrong." Qing Fen cried even harder. The world was really dangerous, and he suddenly discovered that carrying sacks was also a good job.
"If you call me castrated again, I'll kill you."
Qing Fen immediately shut up.
"From now on, you must serve me and help me find out whose orders your boss is following."
"If they ask about my whereabouts, they must mislead them and say that I left Baixiang Town and went to other places."
"After half a month, if you do well, I will give you the antidote."
"Do you understand?" Chu Qianqiu made two gestures with the scissors again, and Qing Fen nodded repeatedly.
"I understand, I understand, I must find out who the boss's boss is, and I also said that you left Baixiang Town and went to Yanbo Town next door." Qing Fen was quite witty and quickly answered the correct answer.
"now it's right."
"Then I left you a test."
"From now on for 12 hours, you are not allowed to call or run away. Just stay with me."
"When I come back, if you don't struggle, I will let you go."
"If you are rescued, just say that you were kidnapped by gangsters, and don't say my name. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand."
"Then live well." After Chu Qianqiu said this, he left Qing Fen tied to the ground and left the abandoned warehouse alone.
This was a series of tricks he used against Liumen's informants, which was more effective than killing him directly.
If Qing Fen stayed there honestly, it would mean that Liu Men's spy was useless.
If he is rescued, considering the unwarranted poison in his body, he can help mislead the Six Doors and let them go to Yanbo Town to investigate.
As for Qing Fen being rescued and boldly telling his plan, then they would have to find him again in Baixiang Town. It would not be much different from killing him.
After a comprehensive evaluation, Chu Qianqiu decided not to kill anyone, and it would be more useful to keep him here.
"Extracting residual value from living people is my style."
This chapter was relatively easy to write, so I didn’t plan to split it into two chapters, so I delayed it a bit.
