Chapter 189 Creditors Come to Visit

One month later.

Wu Chong meditated in the villa. For others, a month was just a moment of effort, but for Wu Chong, his own strength had improved a lot.

In a month, Wu Chong didn't use much experience points, but his strongest sword control skills

Two more of the foundation-building materials posted in the villa were recovered, and now only the last incense is left. Ma Runan sent someone over two days ago to report that there was news about Ningshenxiang. He has also sent people there.

If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Chong will be able to enter the next level after another month.

Build the foundation!

After the immortal cultivator builds the foundation, he will be completely different from the Qi training state. There will be more and more spells to control, and the most important thing is that you can fly with a sword.

"Master, in seven days it will be the challenge of Yan Shijiu, the deadly sword."

Sword Slave Seventeen walked in and, in accordance with Wu Chong's request, began to report to him the recent events in the village and the things that he might need to deal with personally in the future.

A deadly sword?

Wu Chong had completely forgotten this person.

The challenge of the deadly sword was a counterattack method they came up with when he dealt with Shopkeeper Bao and the others last month. The purpose was to embarrass him, the new owner of the village. The 'sword' that can be favored by those three old foxes naturally has some real ability.

"Then let's go. It's good to show off. As a senior in the martial arts world, I can help support the juniors."

Wu Chong didn't care.

People who have to listen to the arrangements of Shopkeeper Bao and others, even if they are strong, will have their limits.

"There is one more thing that you need to decide for yourself."

Seventeen talked about the second thing.

"The sword-making materials in the village are missing a lot, especially the fine iron. The swords handed over to the state capital next month may be missing."

While Mingjian Villa was recognized by the Daqi imperial court, it naturally also had its own obligations.

Sword making is the most important task of Mingjian Villa. Every quarter they need to hand over a large number of swords to the state capital. Most of these swords are used by officials at the general and school level. When Wu Chong was the commander of the Heiyi Building, the sword he used was supplied by Mingjian Villa.

"How much is missing?"

"Eighteen hundred pieces."

"so much?"

Wu Chong knew that Shopkeeper Bao and the others were reselling fine iron, and the news about 'Human Skin Shadow' had been sent back to him. But he didn't ask about the specific amount. Now when the delivery was due, he discovered that these things that had been corrupted turned out to be a big trouble.

If Shopkeeper Bao and others were still there, they would naturally have other channels to import some second-level swords to replenish their inventory.

After the swords were handed over to the state capital, most of them were left in the treasury to gather dust. There are only one or two hundred that really need to be carefully crafted, and the rest have to go into the warehouse. These swords do not necessarily have to be made of fine iron. This is the gap that Shopkeeper Bao and others are greedy for.

"Where's the fine iron?"

Thirty carts of fine iron, plus the previous batch, a total of sixty carts. With such a large quantity, it should be easy to find even if it is lost.

"In a place called Crock Village, sword slaves have already passed by the villa, but there has been no response so far."

"Crock Village?"

There are cottages everywhere in this world. Even a big sect like Mingjian Villa can only be responsible for the main city of Wanjian City and some surrounding areas. No one is willing to take care of the farther away valleys. Those places are where the most refugees and bandits gather.

"It's a gathering place for a group of gangsters. I don't know why I went crazy this time, but I dared to touch our Mingjian Villa's car."

"Let Jiang Xiucai handle it."

There are only two people under Wu Chong, one is Ma Runan, and the other is a level 110 human skin, who currently appears to the outside world as Jiang Xiucai who was killed by him.

"Director Jiang may not be able to go. When the big shopkeeper was still there, he made a deal with the wolf tribe outside. Thirty carts of fine iron were exchanged for three hundred thousand taels of silver. Now the other party's people have come over. Director Jiang has already gone. Deal with it.”

The greed of shopkeeper Bao and others is not personal.

But a line.

Upstream, they resold the materials from Mingjian Villa for money, took part of it themselves, and then handed part to someone in the state capital. Downstream is the so-called wolf clan, which is also a big buyer of fine iron. Shopkeeper Bao and others do not ask what the other party is doing or what their plans are.

They only make money.

The wolves didn't ask them where the materials came from, they just bought things. This tacit understanding between the two parties has lasted for decades. The arrival of Wu Chong directly broke the chain. Now that the goods are out of stock, people from the downstream are looking for it. There is no feedback from the upstream side yet. It is probably that A matter of time.

Fortunately, Wu Chong didn't care. He only became the owner of this village because it could bring him convenience, and he didn't really want to sacrifice his life for them.

"Then let the city guards go."

The city guards had been trying to get in touch with him before, and this time they just gave him a chance to show off.

A big sect has too many things to deal with every day, and Crock Village is just an inconspicuous incident among countless incidents. It makes no sense for Wu Chong, the owner of the village, to run over without doing anything. Otherwise, why would he have so many subordinates?

"yes."

Seventeen left and went to find the so-called guard.

Just then, there was a noise in the front hall.

"Where is your village owner? Is this how you receive distinguished guests? He must give our wolf clan an explanation for this matter!"

A foreign man wearing wolf-skin cotton-padded clothes, carrying a scimitar at his waist, stormed into the Mingjian Villa.

Zamaha felt very angry. He had already paid for the last transaction with Mingjian Villa for a long time, but Mingjian Villa never gave an explanation. Some time ago, the scholar named Jiang came to the door. Not only did he not deliver the goods, he also found a new excuse to persuade his elder brother.

For Zamaha, this is simply a shame for the wolf clan!

They were born as wolves, and the thing they are not afraid of most is challenges. When did you, like those dirty Daqi hypocrites, learn to look forward and backward?

It was precisely because of this that Zamaha felt that his opportunity had come. He encouraged the people in the clan who were as dissatisfied with his elder brother as he was to change his name, bypass Jiang Xiucai, who was negotiating with his elder brother, and personally lead people to Mingjian. The villa is here.

As long as he can get this batch of fine iron back.

He can make meritorious deeds!

There is a chance to snatch his eldest brother's position.

"You can't go in."

The guards of Mingjian Villa followed with anxious expressions, trying to pull this man back.

"Get lost! Even the shopkeepers don't dare to talk to me like that."

Zamaha kicked away the guard who followed him, and savagely kicked open the door to the inner courtyard.

Breaking into the inner courtyard, he happened to see Wu Chong sitting in meditation in the courtyard.

Because of his clothing, Wu Chong was wearing a black robe, hiding his burly body inside. At first glance, it didn't seem so oppressive.

"Are you the bullshit new owner?"

Zamaha looked Wu Chong up and down, stepped forward and slapped the table.

"When will you pay me the fine iron I owe you?"
