Chapter 144: Emei Sect Leader

Hiss? !

Sherlock secretly took a breath of cold air in his heart, wondering if he had quoted a low price.

Lin Chen didn't know what the cunning businessman in front of him was thinking, and his expression was indifferent.

For him, this little money was really nothing.

The reward offered by the real Queen Mother Cai Wenji alone was a full three million taels of silver.

Not only that.

Lin Chen was also very interested in other products of the Futu Chamber of Commerce.

For example, some equipment made with the most advanced Western technology.

In Li Tang, or in the past dynasties, these were called strange skills, and the status of craftsmen was not very high.

Only Lin Chen knew the trajectory of future changes in the world.

So he directly bought all the related products, spending a total of more than 300,000 taels of silver.

Such a large order made Sherlock smile so hard that his mouth was crooked.

"What is this?"

Suddenly.

Lin Chen's eyes fell on a display cabinet.

A strong and strange fragrance was revealed through the white jade box.

"Lord Lin, according to the words of the practitioners in your area, these medicinal herbs are all natural treasures!"

"And these are all extremely rare treasures." Sherlock said seriously.

"Oh?"

Lin Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

As expected.

As a function of the system store on the surface, how can there be no rare treasures?

According to Sherlock, this is a hundred-year-old snow lotus from the snowfield, that is a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and there are ten thousand years... and so on.

In this regard, Lin Chen naturally accepted all the offers and bought them one by one.

You should know that according to the description of some martial arts novels, the protagonist himself started his career with such natural treasures.

After confirming that all the goods were needed, Sherlock accompanied Lin Chen all the way and sent him off from the Futu Chamber of Commerce.

"Lord Lin, take care, the goods you purchased will be delivered to your house by the Chamber of Commerce attendants later."

"Well," Lin Chen reminded, "don't forget my seeds."

Sherlock nodded repeatedly, patting his chest to indicate that the Futu Chamber of Commerce was the most credible, and he would definitely do good things after taking the money!

Seeing this, Lin Chen left the residence of the Buddha Chamber of Commerce with satisfaction.

Let's not talk about anything else.

This shopping trip was very fruitful for him.

Not only did he get natural treasures that could improve his personal strength, but also some equipment and creations from the West.

Among them, what Lin Chen valued most was the textile machine that Sherlock claimed to have brought from the Kingdom of Camelot.

According to the perspective of Lin Chen, a later generation, this textile machine already has the shadow of the "Jenny Loom" that started the Industrial Revolution.

It's a pity that Sherlock said there is no machine that can be operated by boiling water.

Lin Chen said that if there is such a machine, he can offer a high price of 100,000 taels.

"In addition to the sweet potatoes and potatoes commissioned by the Buddha Chamber of Commerce, there are also some precious crop seeds I have obtained at present."

Lin Chen muttered to himself, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

For example, cotton seeds.

Lin Chen didn't quite understand the succession of dynasties in this world.

According to the normal timeline, cotton seeds were introduced to the Central Plains as early as the Song Dynasty, but they were not widely promoted until the Ming Dynasty.

After all.

Cotton's ability to keep out the cold is not comparable to cloth.

Not to mention, these seeds also contain chili peppers.

For modern people, is hot pot still considered hot pot without spicy seasoning? !

"Just planting these seeds also requires professionals."

Lin Chen frowned slightly when he thought of something, and then relaxed his brows.

He suddenly remembered that Li Tang also had the position of the Minister of Agriculture.

This Minister of Agriculture is an official in charge of agricultural affairs.

Although this department is an idle department with many people who just want to get by, Lin Chen thinks that he can still find a few agricultural officials with real talents and knowledge.

Of course, after buying so many things at the Futu Chamber of Commerce, only one-fifth of the silver and money in Lin Chen's system backpack was gone.

According to Sherlock, the goods he bought will be delivered to the Lin Mansion as promised, which saves him trouble.

This is why Lin Chen doesn't care about the price, and he also hopes that Sherlock can find the necessary materials, so it doesn't hurt to give some sweet treats first.

After arranging everything, Lin Chen rode on his horse and planned to go to the Wucheng Bingmasi garrison.

Although Shangguan Wan'er told him that a new governor would take office and told him not to worry about the current situation.

But he was somewhat interested in Wuyou Cave, which happened to be a good thug to use.

And now he has a very good thug under his command, that is Murong Fu.

Let Nan Murong, who is half a step away from the innate, go to wipe out a group of thieves. It shouldn't be a difficult task, right?

Little did he know that

Before Lin Chen could make any arrangements, the Jingzhao County Magistrate was in big trouble!

"Master! This county magistrate has sent the yamen runners to post a notice to find your disciple. Can you put down this sword?"

The Jingzhao County Magistrate is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture and is only a sixth-rank civil official.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to be an official in the capital, and it is not as powerful as the "Hundred Miles Marquis" who is sent out to the county magistrate.

After all, a brick thrown in the capital might hit a group of sixth-rank officials.

As a county magistrate, he was stuck in Jingzhao Prefecture and had to endure the anger of the ministers in the court. He really had no temper.

On the other hand, if something happened in the capital, he had to come forward to solve it immediately.

Otherwise, he would be reported by the censor and said that he was not doing his job well.

However.

The county magistrate did not expect that he would be forced to come to his door with a sword today.

Seeing the trembling yamen runners in the county government, the county magistrate was furious.

In the past, they boasted about how powerful they were, and they could hold a few hundred kilograms of stone millstones in their hands like playing.

Now the county magistrate was attacked, and you just watched like this?

If these yamen runners knew what the county magistrate was thinking, they would definitely complain.

These inferior warriors, in front of these women, are like chickens, letting them be manipulated?

Especially the thirty-year-old nun Leng Shuang, who was wearing a plain white Taoist robe. She had a beautiful face, but her sword-like eyebrows ruined her beauty. The more you look at her, the more cruel she looks.

Her name is known to everyone in the martial arts world!

She is the current head of the Emei Sect, and she is given the title of Miejue Nun!

It is said that this nun hates evil and hates the people of the Demon Sect the most. If she meets them, she will kill them!

The Jingzhao County Magistrate was frightened to collapse in the lobby of the county government by this big man holding a sword to his throat, which is already an extraordinary strength.

What made the Jingzhao County Magistrate even more difficult to get angry was

His official position is not as high as this master's!

Yes!

Most of the leaders of the martial arts sects have honorary positions conferred by the court.

For example, the current martial arts leader, Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang Mountain, was conferred as Tongwei Xianhua Zhenren by Emperor Li Tang and was treated with great courtesy.

As one of the most prominent righteous sects, the leader of Emei Sect naturally has an official position equivalent to the honorary title of the fourth rank.

Although this official position is an honorary title and has no real power.

"Post a notice?! It's ridiculous!" Master Miejue said coldly.

The method proposed by the Jingzhao County Magistrate was just a shirking of responsibility to Master Miejue!

Everyone knows that this notice has been posted for at least three days!

After such a long time, it is not certain whether her disciple is still alive!

That's right.

The reason why Master Miejue made such a big fuss and broke into the county government office with force to force the county magistrate was that her new disciple was kidnapped by Paiyazi!
