Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

The latter curled his lips and said, "Really? She said it as if it was true. She was probably lying to a three-year-old. "    

    

"Hey, don't you not believe it! At that time, I was discovered by them. Look at the back of my hand. There's still a scar now!"    

    

"Did those people from the workshop hit you?"    

    

"That's not true." The former smiled awkwardly and said, "It was my sister. She didn't care that she was the bride. She directly got off the sedan and hit me! Her hands were black! On the contrary, it was the people from the workshop who stopped me, so they didn't beat me to death! Speaking of which, it became a joke. However, I heard that the bed covers belonged to wealthy families, even if it was a noble family. It might not even exist. It was because the Xiao family was considerate of him and his craftsmen. Therefore, only when they were married would they give him a set... Heh, but really, my sister at that time... Her nostrils are about to pop out of her nose! No matter if she's a distant relative, which one of them isn't jealous to the point of going crazy?"    

    

" So it's like that... That really isn't easy."    

    

The latter sighed.    

    

The former smiled and said, "No one else can buy this kitchen knife, but my sister is good at talking at home. Her man also has some status in the workshop. So she sold it to me? This thing, not to mention chopping vegetables, it could be used for self-defense! I am prepared to treat it as a family heirloom, when the future generations... I can also borrow it."    

    

The latter thought for a moment and then asked: "If you guys go through the back door like this, can Xiao family's workshop give way?"    

    

"Tsk, why not? At that time, the young master of the Xiao family was half-dead, and the Xiao family no longer had an heir. The matters in the workshop were much more relaxed. Sigh... Speaking of which, the Xiao family was so powerful. It was a great hero on the battlefield. Now that they have created such a powerful workshop, why are they giving birth to such a useless playboy?"    

    

"What's wrong? Young master of the Xiao family, not good?"    

    

"Whether it's good or not, it's hard to say, but reputation is really bad! It was completely a plaything that only knew how to squander. Sigh, the Xiao family can be considered as their family's misfortune."    

    

Speaking up to this point, the former couldn't help but sigh. "However, the Xiao family is indeed wealthy. No matter how bad his wealth is, he won't be able to spend all his money in just a few lifetimes. It's really enviable."    

    

The latter was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked," You don't think highly of the young master of the Xiao family. Did he do something that made you dislike him? "    

    

"Oh, that's not the case. We are just a bunch of useless people. Why would we have any contact with those young masters? But... Hehe, think about it, if he was a good person... Was there a need to be intercepted on the street? 'Tsk tsk, I heard that those assassins didn't care about their lives that day. After they were caught...' Each and every one of them cut their own heads off! Tsk tsk, this is too cruel. They are so cruel to me. How much hatred do you have for the young master of the Xiao family? How could he do such a thing? Do you think the young master of Xiao family can be a good person? Perhaps he has tortured someone to such an extent. That is retribution!"    

    

The corners of the latter's eyes twitched.    

    

He smiled awkwardly.    

    

Then, he said that he had something to do at home and left his "friend's" home.    

    

He went outside, circled around two times, and then went to a secret corner.    

    

There was a black-robed man waiting there.    

    

Seeing him come over, he immediately asked: "How is it? How's the investigation going? Is the Xiao family's workshop still in chaos?"    

    

"Your Honor, according to what he said, although the Xiao family's workshop is slightly chaotic, however, it doesn't affect the normal work of the workshop. Instead, some things were sold. Obviously, they have started to sell goods on a large scale, unlike before. They don't want to let go of anything. "    

    

"As expected, is there any possibility of infiltration?"    

    

"I don't think so. Their management is very strict. Even relatives are not allowed to enter. They are already very happy to be able to buy some things from the Xiao family's workshop."    

    

"Then... how are the things in the workshop?"    

    

"Kitchen knife."    

    

"[Kitchen knife?]"    

    

"Yes, Your Honor, a kitchen knife as powerful as a ritual knife! "    

    

"What? "    

    

"Since they can already mass produce kitchen knives, it means that the number of ceremonial knives must not be small. It might even be more than what we imagined!"    

    

"It's actually like this!"    

    

The black-robed man's body clearly trembled. Then, he said fiercely, "Looks like... Xiao Yun should still die."    

    

...    

    

The officials were all frightened by what had happened in the Xiao family.    

    

If he could be ambushed in the streets of the city today, what about tomorrow? Who knew which one of them would die in the streets?    

    

Because of this incident, the whole of Beijing was in chaos.    

    

Many young masters wanted to go out and have fun, but they were locked up by their family members. Even if it was a big day, they could not be allowed to go out and stroll around.    

    

They were afraid that there would be evil people who would take their lives.    

    

This way, the businesses of the wealthy people on the streets would become bleak.    

    

The Drunken Red Restaurant, Drunken Immortal Restaurant, and the superior restaurants were all deserted. No one came to visit them.    

    

The most obvious thing was that Ling Long had been redeemed for such a long time. The brothel keeper actually came to find her specifically because she wanted to borrow some money to spend her days...    

    

What kind of place was that?    

    

Highnesses and dignitaries often came and went, and it was the most prestigious place!    

    

If he casually called someone out, he would be able to easily do something that was worth a thousand gold coins.    

    

This kind of place actually had no money? Did he need to borrow money from Ling Long?    

    

The most important thing was that Xiao Yun had only been in trouble for a few days. Such a big store, even if it was not opened for a year, would still be able to live well. Why did he need to borrow money?    

    

Who knew that the brothel keeper really didn't have money now!    

    

This matter was just the last straw. In fact, from the moment His Majesty said that they would attack the north, there were fewer people who spent money there.    

    

All of the officials and officials, as well as the influential officials, were clear in their hearts.    

    

War definitely required money.    

    

Whoever was rich, then... Perhaps His Majesty would lend it to him. As for whether he could return the loan or not? That was two different things.    

    

Furthermore, the previous natural and man-made disasters and all sorts of things had caused the business to become extremely difficult to do.    

    

Now, he really couldn't hold on any longer.    

    

It was said that some girls had already started to sell jewelry for a living.    

    

Ling Long thought about it and still took out some money from her savings.    

    

But it was far from enough.    

    

"Ling Long, mom... Cough cough, this old servant has never opened his mouth to you. This time, it is truly difficult. This money... is not enough. We are the people who do not speak in secret. What is the imposing manner of the Xiao family now? Everyone knew it. I have asked around. Now, half of the matters in the Xiao family are up to you to decide. How can there only be so little savings? "    

    

Anyone who heard this would be unhappy.    

    

Ling Long was no exception.    

    

She furrowed her brows and only suppressed her anger after a while.    

    

"I really only have this much money. If there's more... I have to discuss it with the young master."    

    

This was originally an excuse, but the procuress really didn't want to leave, waiting for her to ask.    

    

Ling Long really had no choice. She really didn't want Xiao Yun to deal with this kind of bullshit at a time like this.    

    

But she couldn't help the procuress pestering her, and... Ling Long was a person who knew how to be grateful. Although the brothel wasn't a good place, when she was in the most difficult time, it really gave her a bowl of rice to eat.    

    

They also allowed her to learn so many skills. Otherwise, she wouldn't be qualified to be bought by Xiao Yun.    

    

Sighing, Ling Long told Xiao Yun about this matter and was prepared to be scolded.    

    

Xiao Yun was feeding Qing'er at that time.    

    

When he heard this, he obviously frowned.    

    

Ling Long was frightened and quickly lowered her head. She did not dare to leave and did not dare to speak.    

    

The next moment, Xiao Yun said, "Actually, that place is also fated with me. If it wasn't there, we wouldn't have met and had no opportunities. He could be considered to have done a favor. Now that they can't make it through, we'll do our best to help them. That was understandable, but there were too many shops that couldn't be operated on the market. We can't provide services for free just because we have some connections with the Xiao family. One shop was given, but the other one wasn't given. It would offend them. As a person, he can't be biased towards the other side, and make others speak the truth. How about this? You go and discuss with her. Such a big Drunken Immortal Restaurant... It shouldn't be a problem to have one more share. Let's use money to invest. We'll only take 20% of his shares, but all of his expenses in the recent period of time... We're all in charge now, and we'll give him more money... Make sure the girls don't starve to death "
