Wang Xing pondered and said: "You mean, in order to treat the princess's injury, another two thousand yuan was spent?"
"That's right."
Zuo Chongming nodded: "If the princess was alone, seven hundred would be enough, but the princess cares about her classmates and insists on letting them eat first before she is willing to eat."
Wang Xing suddenly felt a toothache: "So you mean... the three of them combined, two thousand yuan stones?"
"is not that right?"
Zuo Chongming clapped his hands: "I haven't even counted other expenses yet. I have mobilized so many demon-breaking bed crossbows and mobilized so many manpower and material resources..."
"I see."
Wang Xing grinned and showed an ugly smile: "Since this is the case, our family understands."
"correct."
Zuo Chongming suddenly said: "I am well-informed. When I heard that you came with the imperial edict, I have been waiting at the Zhenfu Department to collect the debt. Mr. Wang, please go and pay the debt."
Wang Xing was surprised: "The master is the creditor, it's you who should go, right?"
"It's better for you, Mr. Wang, to go."
Zuo Chongming shook his head: "I know that you don't believe what I say, so I will be able to verify the truth of what I said from the other party's mouth."
Wang Xing's face changed slightly, and he said with a dry smile: "This... how can our family not believe you? I'm afraid you are mistaken..."
Zuo Chongming said with a clear conscience: "If this matter is not proven, you and I will definitely have knots in our hearts in the future, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Then let's go. If we really misunderstood you, we will apologize in person." Wang Xing solemnly handed over his hands and left in a hurry.
After he left, Huihai couldn't help but ask: "Is this really the case?"
"you guess."
Zuo Chongming showed a meaningful smile.
"Hey...you lied to him?"
Huihai's eyes widened: "Then he is now looking for people from Bafeng Tower. If there is a confrontation, won't you be exposed?"
"You'll understand in a moment."
Zuo Chongming smiled and slowly sat down to drink tea.
Not long after.
But he saw Linghua walking slowly and slowly with lotus steps.
She first glanced at Hui Hai and cautiously said: "Wang Xing has settled the account, and the two thousand five hundred yuan stones are here."
As she spoke, she flashed the spiritual ring between her fingers, and poured out a shower of sparkling things.
Whoosh!
Things are fleeting and disappear without a trace.
Zuo Chongming rubbed his hands and threw a hundred yuan stone to her: "Thank you for your hard work. Go and do the work yourself."
"Thank you, sir."
Linghua couldn't help but put away the reward and left the courtyard happily.
"..."
Everyone in Huihai was dumbfounded.
If he still doesn't understand things at this stage, then he's the only one in Shabi.
The so-called person who wanted to pay the debt in Bafeng Tower was actually Linghua Yirong pretending to be the one who got the money from Wang Xing and then passed it on to Zuo Chongming...
Hui Hai opened his mouth and stammered, "This, this..."
"Watch well and study hard."
Zuo Chongming rubbed his fingers, stood up and walked outside.
In fact, the whole thing cost more than a thousand yuan in total. If he split it 50-50 with Qian Qian, he only spent more than 600 yuan.
Zuo Chongming was just talking nonsense about the fact that the princess was seriously injured and needed the best elixirs.
Anyway, when it comes to the direct lineage of the royal family, even if Wang Xing has doubts in his heart, he would not dare to express it openly.
As for the Demon-Breaking Crossbow, personnel transfers, etc... all depended on Zuo Chongming's reputation, in fact he didn't pay a penny.
As for the merit points to reward his subordinates, no matter how much it is spent, the imperial court is responsible for the expenditure, and Zuo Chongming does not have to pay even half a penny more.
After the whole matter was settled, Zuo Chongming not only got his money back, but also earned an additional two thousand yuan.
Coupled with the reward from Emperor Wu and the small gift from Lianyunbao, his current net worth is four thousand yuan!
Why are so many people struggling to become officials?
Except for a few big bosses with lofty ideals, most people are not here for power?
Having money does not necessarily mean you have power, but having power does not necessarily mean you are short of money.
There is an old saying that goes: Three years to clear the magistrate's office, and one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver.
No matter how honest and honest the magistrate is, he can still get one hundred thousand taels of silver in three years.
"Now that you have money, let's go to Bafeng Tower."
Zuo Chongming thought about it carefully and estimated that the items he ordered some time ago should have arrived by now, right?
If you really want to get that thing, your strength will skyrocket.
As for Lianyunbao... what's the rush?
——
——
It was afternoon, sunny turning to cloudy.
Ziyun Garden does not accept guests during the day. Although the door is closed, there is no traffic inside.
Because not long ago, the Holy Son of the Lotus Sect came.
"Welcome to the Holy Son, Protector Sima."
Mother Chen served her tea, and she was sweating coldly. She felt very anxious and uneasy.
"No gift."
Dongfang Yao took a sip of tea and frowned without revealing any trace: "I am here only to capture Zuo Chongming alive."
Mother Chen lost her voice in shock: "The Holy Son wants to capture Zuo Da alive... Bah, that dog official Zuo Chongming?"
Dongfang Yao frowned: "Huh? What did you just want to say? Mr. Zuo?"
Mother Chen smiled bitterly and said: "To be fair to the Holy Son, Zuo Chongming came to Ziyun Garden, and his subordinates also said it smoothly, and they didn't change their minds for a while."
Dongfang Yao's eyes flashed: "You said he comes often?"
Mother Chen replied: "Usually it's Gao Yu who treats guests, and Zuo Chongming comes over to show his appreciation."
"Gao Yu has been here too? What a coincidence."
Dongfang Yao sneered: "Although Gao Yu is the chess piece he introduced, it is now rumored that Gao Yu has ruined our Liansheng Sect's major affairs, and this person must die."
Protector Sima: "What the Holy Son means is to wait for the two of them to come again and then take the opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop?"
Dongfang Yao was a little confused: "But in this way, the dark helm is also exposed."
If Chen Lin, the helmsman here, was not dead, he wouldn't mind doing this, because Chen Lin is Ouyang Yu's.
But now that Chen Lin is dead, Ziyunyuan Dark Rudder has no owner, and he can definitely place his own people there.
Dongfang Yao weighed it for a moment, shook his head and objected: "You can't expose the hidden helm. Besides, they only come here occasionally. Do we have to wait?"
At this time, Mother Chen apologized, lowered her head and left the room.
After a while, he hurried back with excitement on his face.
Mother Chen said excitedly: "My subordinates heard something recently. There was a demon in Lianyun Castle, and even the castle master of the Blood Coagulation Realm was seriously injured."
Protector Sima asked impatiently: "What does this have to do with Zuo Chongming?"
Mother Chen explained hurriedly: "My subordinates got the news that Lianyunbao sent people to Zhenfu Division a few days ago. They must have gone there to ask for help..."
"There are four blood coagulation realms in Ping'an County's Zhenfu Division. Li Jun has been in retreat recently, Linghua is in charge of internal affairs, and the newly arrived eunuch Wang Xing is in charge of the warehouse."
Dongfang Yao suddenly said: "You mean, only Zuo Chongming can have his hands free at the moment?"
Mother Chen kept nodding her head: "Yes, the people from Lianyunbao sent a generous gift. Zuo Chongming has already accepted it, and he will definitely go there soon."
"A monster?"
Dongfang Yao showed a smile: "This is a good opportunity. Mother Chen, you have done well. I think you have the potential to be the helmsman."
"Thank you, Holy Son, for your praise."
Mother Chen was overjoyed and quickly added: "The Holy Son may not think Lianyun Bao is average in strength, but they have a micro vein of Yuanshi in their hands."
When Dongfang Yao heard this, he suddenly became energetic: "Oh? Please tell me carefully."
