Although the compensation money was paid by Shen Yuelan, the Middle World would still have to reimburse Shen Yuelan for this money in the end. Therefore, if some of it can be recovered now, the Middle World will have to reimburse less in the future.
Huichang Luo, who heard the news, finally demanded the right to execute Huichang Yan in exchange for returning 500,000 Yaoji coins. Yes, this new character, who was described in detail in about a chapter, could not escape his predetermined fate and was doomed to die.
Whether it is the sins Hui Changyan committed before or the chaos he has caused now, it is enough for him to die several times. Although he does not have such great ill will towards the protagonists, it is because he has a poor foundation and no background.
As for why Huichang Luo wanted to buy Huichang Yan's execution rights, not to mention the previous grievances between the two, as the eldest sister and patriarch of the Huichang family, Huichang Luo had the obligation to clean up the house.
Hua Liluo wished Huichang Yan would die soon, and the price offered by Huichang Luo was quite sincere, so Huichang Luo's proposal was quickly approved.
After the Time Management Bureau completed the interrogation of Huichang Yan and confirmed that he was of no use at all, they simply abandoned him and packed him up and sent him to Huichang Luo's temporary residence.
And there, what awaits him is only the end of his fate.
[My dear brother, do you have anything else to say? ]
[Sister Luo, you can't just stand by and watch me die. I'm your brother! ]
[Brother? Haha, what brother would scheme against his own sister like this? ]
[Sister, sister, you can't say that. If it weren't for me, how could you stay in the other world and get a job? ]
[Besides, I had no choice. In order to ensure that you could get away with it, I installed dozens of cameras around you, right? ]
[Hehe, my dear brother, if your sister and I didn't have some common sense, I would have been moved by you just now. Do you know? In modern times, cameras have not yet been invented. ]
[As your sister, I went through so much trouble to find an alibi, which turned out to be a black-and-white photo taken by a foreigner! ]
[But, but I really pressed the camera for you, that thing was picked up by me in the turbulence of time and space, it’s not fake! ]
[You are a person who is always causing trouble but not doing good. Yes! I saw those junky things of yours, but have you ever thought about one thing? Those things need electricity to work. Did you connect the electricity? ]
【No…nothing.】
【…】
Huichang Luo was almost laughing at her brother's stupidity. She originally wanted to test Huichang Yan's ability. If he had some ability, she would spend the remaining 500,000 to save his life. But now it seems that there is no need for this.
It’s not that she was reluctant to part with those material possessions, but she was afraid that this guy would bring shame to the Huichang family.
In the end, Huichang Yan paid the price for his stupidity.
After this matter was settled, Shen Yuelan also began to participate in the aftermath of the Huichangyan incident. In fact, due to a series of operations by Huichangyan and Shen Yuelan, the workload of this correction work was very light and was basically limited to the northern part of Chang'an City.
Shen Yuelan released all the more than 10,000 Shen Ce soldiers and dozens of eunuchs who delivered imperial eunuchs that she had imprisoned. Although she was not very willing, after being persuaded by Hua Liluo and others, Shen Yuelan still kept the template of this group of Shen Ce soldiers.
After all, this group of people still has a reputation as an elite force, and is better than the tens of thousands of Tang troops who were defeated by the Qin army led by Shen Huanyan.
Although Shen Yuelan prefers the Twelve Guards during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, as things have come to this point, she can only give up and make do with it.
In addition, the 300 Song Imperial Guards that had been loaned out before were also returned by Jing'an after this incident. However, Shen Yuelan looked left and right and felt that these guys did not look like her own Song Imperial Guards.
[What's going on? Where are my three hundred rough men? What's going on with these three hundred weak and powerless beauties?]
[What are you talking about? Look carefully. Each of these are real elite demon sword princesses. I specially selected them for you to copy. I integrated their images, personalities, and skills into the bodies of your imperial guards, and the result is that they have become like this.]
[I have tested it. Although the appearance of these imperial guards has been replaced by the latter, their accumulated memories have not disappeared. In other words, they are still your loyal Song imperial guards, just with a different skin.]
Shen Yuelan took a deep breath when she heard this. Could this thing be played like this? It seemed that she had a low level of understanding of her skills and had not developed them enough.
[Hiss, Sister Jingan, let's discuss something. ]
[Stop, I know what you want to say. These three hundred are given to you by me as an elder for free. But if you want more, then we have to talk about money. Brothers should settle accounts clearly.]
[Tsk, okay, how much is the unit price?]
[How about 10,000 Yaoji coins for an elite Yaodaoji? ]
【Will it be a bit expensive? 】
【The more you buy, the bigger the discount! 】
[Is that so? Then how many elite troops can you bring out? ]
[Hehehe, then you've asked the right person. I won't hide it from you. There aren't many elite troops in the inner world army, but I can still gather 100,000 people for you. How about it? Do you want to do this business? ]
[One skin is 10,000, so 100,000 skins would be 1 billion, right? ]
[Ahem, it's a bit expensive, but after buying the skin, the soldiers will become stronger. ]
[And considering the friendship between us, I'll sell it to you at a bargain price, 7% off! How about it? Are you generous, Sister An? Why don't you spend the money quickly? If you miss this opportunity, you will never see it again! ]
Jing'an's words reminded Shen Yuelan of the bad experience she had when playing a cooking game. It was difficult to keep up with the version without spending money; if you spent money, the new version would be released soon, and you would enter the next round of spending money decisions.
Shen Yuelan knew very well that this must be a krypton scam specially designed for her by those old guys in the other world in order to make money from her. It was a complete conspiracy!
But she just can't ignore it, how hateful!
Chapter 348: All ears
[Okay, I understand this, but I have to tell my family's financial department first, otherwise I won't be able to withdraw so much money in a short time.]
[No problem, I'll go to Chang'an City first. I hope that when I come back, you can give me a satisfactory answer for both of us.]
After Jing'an left the courtyard, Shen Yuelan hesitated for a moment and then answered Su Xuan's call.
[Hello, is this Axuan? Yes, it's me. I have a business here and I need your help...]
Shen Yuelan explained the whole story to Su Xuan in great detail.
[Hmm… Yeah, that’s it. Hmm, let me think about it.]
[Boss, it's okay. We earn money for you to spend. Since we don't suffer any loss and it can greatly improve your combat effectiveness, why don't we do this business? ]
[You don't have to worry about me. The dividends from the Rhine and Bei Empire will soon arrive. We won't be short of money.]
[Is it really possible? Ahahaha, Xuan you are the best!!!]
[Hehe, after you finish dealing with the things in the outer world, please come back early. Xuan hasn't seen the boss for a long time and misses you so much.]
[Hey, it’s almost done, it’s already finished here, I’ll go back and hang out with Axuan in a couple of days! ]
To be honest, Su Xuan is worthy of being the former actress who played Daji. One phone call made Shen Yuelan completely obsessed with her. I must go and learn from her one day.
Shen Huanyan, who had finished her work and was about to come back to rest, was thinking secretly after seeing what had just happened.
After a brief communication with her own finance department, Shen Yuelan finally agreed to the deal. Su Xuan took out 2 million yuan of otherworldly bonds and 5 million yuan of Leblanc coins to complete the krypton gold transaction for Shen Yuelan.
Although it was a bit painful to take out so much working capital at one time, even the little god of wealth Su Xuan, whose wallet was almost emptied, had to admit that this business was a win-win deal.
One hundred thousand Qin troops and one hundred thousand demon sword ladies are not the same concept. One hundred thousand Qin troops can only bully those feudal dynasties in the cold weapon era that have not lit up the technology tree, but once they enter the scope of the other world, they will be destined to be cannon fodder.
But the situation is different with the 100,000 Demon Sword Princesses. For Shen Yuelan, it is like upgrading her muskets to cannons. With these 100,000 beautiful girls in hand, if you try to steal from me again, I will beat you to death with all my rice fields.
Having achieved his goal, Jing'an happily left the surface world with a large sum of money, and Shen Yuelan also got what she wanted immediately after paying.
Yes, just as Shen Yuelan thought, this transaction was an upgrade package designed by the other world to ease financial constraints and specifically to cheat Shen Yuelan's money. One hundred thousand sets of skins were naturally prepared long ago.
In response to this, Shen Yuelan could only laugh.
With Su Xuan's call in front of her, Shen Yuelan didn't want to stay in the surface world any longer. After the Time Management Bureau completed all the follow-up work, Shen Yuelan and others would take a ride and retreat with them.
Fortunately, the aftermath work will take some time to complete, which gives Shen Yuelan and others a final chance to relax.
Since we have arrived in Chang'an City, we naturally have to do some shopping. We can't miss out on anything, including wine, meat, clothing and food. Su Xuan is waiting over there to receive the goods.
After packing up the specialties of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Shen Yuelan suddenly had some free time. Others hadn't finished playing yet and were still strolling on the streets. She had nothing to do, so she began to wander aimlessly in Chang'an City.
Chang'an City should have been bustling with people at this time, but Shen Yuelan didn't know whether she took the wrong road or for some other reason. In short, she mistakenly entered a remote alley with few people.
This place may have been prosperous at one time. There were still restaurant signs in front of some dilapidated wooden houses. When Shen Yuelan was scanning those signs, she suddenly found a familiar store among them.
That was the small tavern that appeared in the dream of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that Gan Yuelong had woven for her. She had drunk with Li Bai here, and it was also here that she shattered the illusion and discovered the fact that Gan Yuelong had deceived her.
Although Gan Yuelong once said that the dreams she weaved were all based on the realities she had experienced, it is also a very novel experience to actually encounter the things seen in dreams in real life.
Shen Yuelan pushed open the window door that had rotted into pieces, stirring up clouds of dust. Shen Yuelan was not surprised that the shop had become what it was now. A hundred years was enough to obliterate everything.
The small shops on the side streets that were once frequented by people in prosperous times are now deserted and covered with dust.
The only thing that surprised her was that this old wooden building had survived several wars and was still there. It was really tenacious, just like the late Tang Dynasty.
Shen Yuelan walked to the wine table where she and Li Bai had sat opposite each other in her dream. After a quick test, she found that everything was OK. The tables, chairs and benches in the room could still be used normally.
After several years, Shen Yuelan sat here again, feeling a lot of emotions for a moment. It seemed like thirty or forty years had passed since that dream. It was really just a blink of an eye, and it seemed that she could never go back to the past.
That time, I was drinking and having fun purely in a relaxed state of mind. If it weren't for my smart brain that punctured that beautiful dream, I might have spent those seven days very comfortably.
At that time, Su Xin was still there. Shen Suchang took her sisters to play in the sea every day. Shen Yuelan was harassed by the guy named Queen Jun from time to time. Although it was a bit annoying, those were indeed happy days.
It’s a pity that the person is gone, and we have all grown up and are no longer the same as before.
【What is life like? Let's get drunk and sing. Let's have a drink. 】
Shen Yuelan suppressed her annoyance, brushed the dust off the table, put the fruit wine she had bought not long ago on the table, and took out some side dishes from the space. Hey, it was a delicious meal again!
Just when she was about to treat herself, an old man in his fifties appeared out of nowhere, rudely snatched the wine glass from her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.
[Hahaha, what a good wine! Although it is fruit wine, it tastes sweet and refreshing. It is a rare fine wine, don’t you think, young lady?]
[Hehe, I don't know how I have offended you, sir, to make you come to such a dirty place and snatch my wine glass? ]
[As for my offense, it's not that I've offended you. It's just that some young ladies have no moral principles and have bought up all the fine wines in the east and west markets of Chang'an City, leaving me with nothing to drink. That's why I came here to steal some wine, hahaha.]
[In that case, it's my fault. Well, as for the wine, I have plenty of it. Just drink it. I'll give you as much as you can drink, and I guarantee that every jar is made of pure wine. How about that? Is that enough for me to make amends?]
[Hahaha, young lady is a straightforward person, so I will be disrespectful to refuse your offer.]
The old man was about to raise his hand to drink again when he suddenly saw Shen Yuelan sitting opposite him, looking at him with amusement. This made the old man feel guilty for a moment, fearing that Shen Yuelan would set a trap for him, so he took the initiative to propose.
[In this way, I will not take advantage of you. For every glass of wine you drink, I will recite a poem for you. When I have finished reciting all the poems in my heart, I will leave. How about that? ]
[Haha, OK, I have heard for a long time that there are people in this world who are arrogant because of their talent. They are arrogant by nature, but they are also talented. I think you are one of them. Please let me broaden my horizons today.]
Looking at the cynical look of the old man opposite, Shen Yuelan actually saw the shadow of someone in him and sighed secretly, but she did not react on her face.
Shen Yuelan had already guessed this man's identity from the poems he recited, so she decided to tease him.
[I regret that I have come too late to find the flowers. In previous years, I saw them before they bloomed. Now the wind blows the flowers away, and the green leaves are full of fruits on the branches.]
【Mr. Du's poem is really embarrassing.】
[Huh? What? Why are you so embarrassed? ]
[Well, you are not Mr. Du Mu, why are you in such a hurry? ]
[I…I…I can’t I speak up for him? There’s a lot going on here, what do you know? ]
【Oh? I am all ears. 】
Chapter 349: Du Mu's Romantic History
When Du Mu was working as a secretary in Xuanzhou, he went to Huzhou for a trip. During a local dragon boat race, he fell in love with a little girl at first sight. However, because she was still young and not yet of marriageable age, it was not appropriate to marry her immediately.
So, he presented the betrothal gift and made an agreement with his mother for ten years, that he would come to marry her ten years later. Before leaving, his mother asked Du Mu what would happen if he broke his promise in the future?
Du Mu confidently stated that within ten years, he would definitely come here to serve as the county magistrate. If he did not come in ten years, they could marry others according to their own wishes.
After they separated, Du Mu always missed the girl, but because of his low official position, he could not request to be transferred to Huzhou. It was not until Du Mu's good friend Zhou Chi became prime minister that Du Mu had the opportunity to serve as the governor of Huzhou.
At this time, Du Mu was 47 years old. Fourteen years had passed since the agreed time. The girl had been married for three years and had already become a wife and mother, giving birth to three children.
Upon hearing the news, Du Mu called the girl's mother and asked her, "You promised to marry your daughter to me. Why did you break your promise?"
Her mother replied: "Originally, the agreed period was ten years, but you didn't come after ten years, so we waited for another year without success, so we married you off now. We don't consider it as a betrayal to you."
Du Mu thought what she said made sense, so he did not embarrass her any further. However, he was still sad about this incident for a long time and wrote the poem "Lamenting Flowers".
[Hahaha, so that's how it is. I didn't expect Lord Du to like this?]
[What are you talking about! Lord Du neither took anything by force nor was he unreasonable. He let go when it was time to do so. This is clearly a model of a gentleman.]
[Yes, yes, but Lord Du and that mother never seemed to ask that woman's opinion from beginning to end? ]
The old man was speechless for a moment when he heard this, as if, as if, he had indeed never asked this question.
[Well, maybe, but didn’t Lord Du get any benefit? Not only did the wife he had waited for more than ten years fly away, but he also gave away a lot of betrothal gifts. He lost both his wife and his money. How pitiful.]
[Haha, it's indeed a bit tragic. Speaking of our Lord Du, he was quite a playboy when he was young.]
[Not only this sighing about flowers, it is said that Zhang Haohao and Du Qiuniang were also the people whom Mr. Du loved but could not get when he was young, as evidenced by the poem.]
[Ahem, you…where did you hear these things from? Really, I don’t know who is the one who spread gossip about me!]
[What? Didn’t I hear clearly just now? ]
