Chapter 134 Qingxuan Daoist Steals the Treasury
After agreeing with Si Wei to provide a batch of weapons in three days, Chu Chen sent the two away.
After the two left, Chu Chen secretly called Chen Qingxuan over.
"Hey, you drunkard, let me show you how to make a little money, wanna come?"
"Get rich? Aren't you rich? Why would I want to get rich?"
"Forehead............"
That's enough to make your grandpa spit out a mouthful of blood.
"I don't have enough money either, so... why don't you come with me to make some money?"
After much persuasion, the drunkard was finally convinced.
Chu Chen then instructed Chu Yi to go out.
Inquire about the location of the Liu family residence.
Within an hour, Chu Yi had found out the details.
The three of them went out together, and Chu Chen put two sets of night clothes in his backpack.
Taking advantage of the evening darkness, Chu Yi disguised himself as a peddler and loitered around the Liu family's gate.
Unbeknownst to them, the Liu family was already in complete chaos.
The person in charge at the scene, Liu Yu, didn't know what instructions he had received from above.
He hasn't been home for several days, and even the guards and attendants who accompanied him haven't returned.
"Second Young Master, do you think the Eldest Young Master has encountered some misfortune? Why hasn't he come home for several days?"
"In a few days, it will be the day for the handover of those things, and the young master won't be here..."
An elderly man who looked like a butler spoke to a young man.
"What's the panic? The young master has a seventh-rank expert by his side. What danger could there be in this small Cloud Peak City?"
"In that case, immediately send everyone in the manor out to search. I need to go out for a bit."
After saying that, he instructed his servants to drive a carriage out the door.
"It's just a handover of valuables, right? It's better without him. I can show my face too."
To be honest, he secretly wished that Liu Yu was dead.
In this Cloud City, he always seems to be one step ahead of me. This guy hasn't been back for days.
I can finally go out and have some fun.
After saying that, he ordered his servants to take the carriage towards the only brothel in Cloud Peak City.
Upon hearing the second young master's instructions, the steward quickly gathered the servants of the manor, and they all headed to various parts of Cloud Peak City.
Upon seeing this situation at the gate, Chu Yi secretly took out a walkie-talkie.
"Young master, it seems something big has happened at the Liu family; many servants have gone out."
Chu Chen smiled after hearing this, thinking, "This is truly a stroke of luck!"
What else could it be? It's probably that Liu Yu hasn't returned for many days, so they sent people out to look for her.
So they waited with Chen Qingxuan until it was completely dark.
The two men put on their night clothes and sped towards the Liu residence.
Okay, Chen Qingxuan carried Chu Chen and sped towards the Liu residence.
Below the Liu family compound wall, Chen Qingxuan swiftly ascended to the rooftop.
"You drunkard, you don't want me anymore."
Upon seeing this, Chu Chen immediately called out to Chen Qingxuan.
Chen Qingxuan shook his head helplessly, flew down to the ground, and carried Chu Chen to the rooftop.
Chu Chen took out a night vision device and quietly observed the situation at the Liu residence.
When Chu Yi returned in the afternoon, the once bustling Liu residence was now only occupied by a few maids and servants.
At the very back of the mansion, in front of a house, stood two servants carrying knives.
They stood at the entrance like wooden stakes, seemingly guarding something.
Chu Chen gave Chen Qingxuan a wink.
A moment later, Chu Chen felt himself being lifted up and flown away again.
After placing Chu Chen at a corner, Chen Qingxuan's ghostly figure swiftly headed towards the two people at the door.
With two sharp cracking sounds, the two men were as still as wooden stakes.
His body was stiff, his eyes were vacant, and he was as dead as could be.
Seeing this, Chu Chen stepped forward and slipped into the room under the cover of night.
The inside was pitch black and completely empty.
Could we have come to the wrong place? What are those two people guarding at the door? Are they just air?
So he turned on the night vision goggles and began searching inch by inch.
After searching for a long time without finding anything, just as I was about to go out and look for the next place...
Chen Qingxuan, who had been watching coldly from the side, casually said, "Behind the cabinet."
"Damn, why didn't you say so sooner?"
"You didn't ask me to find you, my job is to bring you here."
Chen Qingxuan said arrogantly, then turned his head and looked outside again.
Seeing this, Chu Chen ignored him and gently pushed the cabinet, revealing a staircase in the ground.
Holy crap, is the Liu family really that vigilant? Who are they wary of?
In this Cloud Peak City, no one should dare to touch the Liu family.
However, Chu Chen gradually figured it out.
This thing is probably to prevent royal personnel from suddenly coming to inspect it.
"Hey, if anything happens, contact me on the walkie-talkie."
After saying that, Chu Chen strode down the stairs.
Upon arriving at a basement of about twenty square meters, Chu Chen was stunned.
Inside, there were piles of gold and silver, as well as some jade stones that looked to be of very good quality.
This is the money he's accumulated by selling jade for so long.
Since I've run into this situation, I might as well do something for the people of this cloud-top world.
Roughly estimated, this gold and silver, when converted into silver, should be worth around two million taels.
That pile of jade would probably be hard to value.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! Stealing makes way more money than doing business," Chu Chen thought to himself.
His hands didn't stop; with a wave of his hand, he collected the yellow and white objects into his spatial storage.
Only one box of Great Xia general silver notes was left behind, worth about 500,000 taels.
He stuffed the silver notes into his pocket and quickly went to the room.
Then, after calling out to Chen Qingxuan, they flew out of the Liu family residence.
The three returned to the house. Chen Qingxuan looked at the stack of silver notes and turned his head away without any interest.
For him, as long as he has food, drink, and entertainment, money is nothing but dirt.
There was no other way; he had been following his master in the mountains since he was a child.
Then they went to a Taoist temple, and then Chu Chen took them back to the secular world.
They had no worries about food and clothing along the way, even with the new activity they had just discovered: visiting brothels.
If she didn't have money, it was just a matter of asking Chu Chen for a handout.
In his words: I have no interest in money.
Chu Chen took out ten thousand taels and handed it to Chu Yi.
“We need to build houses at this mine in Mashan. Go and buy the best of everything.”
Since it wasn't his own money he was spending, Chu Chen felt no heartache whatsoever.
Chu Yi took the money, his eyes wide open. This was far too much. How could a mine need so much to build houses?
However, he will do whatever the young master says.
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and don't say what you shouldn't say; this is the basic quality of a lackey.
After Chu Chen finished speaking, he asked Chen Qingxuan, "Do you want it?"
"No, I'm not interested."
Without turning his head, Chen Qingxuan downed a shot of Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).
With a whoosh, they were back on the rooftop.
Okay, you're high and mighty, you're amazing, you're not interested in money.
Chu Chen thought helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. If this person needs it, I'll just have to lend him a hand."
However, she couldn't refuse.
Alright, give 480,000 taels to Siwei and give him some advice.
Repairing that city wall shouldn't be a big problem.
