Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 17 Reassurance and Worry

"You're not called a dog egg, are you?"

Hearing this at first, Huang Chong was so frightened that his hairs blew up, and a chill came from the tailbone to his forehead, and he only felt his hands and feet were cold for a while.

No wonder Huang Chong, his identity is too sensitive. It is no exaggeration to say that now Huang Chong is even more advanced than Tang Monk meat in "Journey to the West". Tang Monk meat is only what those monsters want to eat. All want to take a bite.

Not to mention other things, the golden ten thousand taels offered by the imperial court alone is enough to make most people tempted. What is the concept of golden ten thousand taels?
To make a rough conversion, gold ten thousand taels is roughly equivalent to five hundred kilograms (for the convenience of calculation, here one kilogram is equal to ten taels, and in ancient times one kilogram was actually 16 taels, so there is an idiom called half catty eight taels), which is 50 Ten thousand grams, one gram of gold is calculated at 350 RMB, and one hundred taels of gold is converted into RMB 1.75 million.

Assuming that a person can live to be 1.75 years old, and he wants to earn 100 million, it means that he needs to earn about 1.75 per hour, and [-] a day. If he continues to earn for [-] years, he can earn [-] million. , and this does not take into account inflation between the two eras.

In Hongzhou now, which will be Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province in the future, an ordinary person can eat and drink for only three renminbi a day, which is equivalent to one yuan and two yuan. , this is a hundredfold difference.

**Uncle’s bounty is about the same as Li Shouxin’s bounty even if inflation is not taken into account, and Huang Chong’s threat is nothing compared to Uncle’s.

This is also the reason why Huang Chong's hair blew up when Scarface said that sentence.

However, Huang Chong quickly calmed down. Obviously, it is absolutely impossible for the guy next to him to know his true identity, otherwise what is waiting for him today are officials and the army, and he would not be here.

Not to mention Huang Chong's performance, he hugged Huang Chong's scarred face tightly and felt Huang Chong's body trembling slightly.

"Boy, give me your package, so that I can let you go to Yangzhou with me." Scarface let go of Huang Chong's shoulder, but took advantage of the situation and grabbed his arm, standing opposite Huang Chong and said.

If he knew that the guy in front of him was Li Shouxin in the future, he didn't know how Scarface would feel.

"You..." Huang Chong grabbed his package tightly and looked at Scarface angrily.

On the surface it was so, but in fact he was secretly relieved, firstly because Scarface didn't know his true identity, and secondly because what he said before to go to Yangzhou was true.

However, Huang Chong is still not out of danger. He may not be able to bring down the big man in front of him. Even if Huang Chong has internal strength and martial arts skills, the difference in quality between the two is here. It is not easy to settle him, let alone Huang Chong. Chong still wants to use his relationship to leave Yangzhou.

In addition, Huang Chong didn't want to attract other people's attention.

"If you hand over the package to me obediently, we will go to Yangzhou together later, and when we arrive in Yangzhou, you can hang out with me. Brother Jiang will cover you and make sure you eat well. If you want me to do it myself, Then you can stay in Hongzhou by yourself." Scarface said viciously, like Huang Chong, he didn't want to attract other people's attention.

"You..." Huang Chong bit his lower lip, tears were about to burst out, and his face was full of grievances. If he said "you scoundrel" at this time, it might be more appropriate.

"How about it, have you figured it out?" Huang Chong's appearance did not arouse Scarface's sympathy, but made him even more proud.

"Okay." After hesitating for a while, Huang Chongcai nodded helplessly, and at the same time slowly loosened his hands holding the package tightly.

"That's right, you're smart, I'll cover you from now on." As he said, Scarface couldn't wait to reach out and took Huang Chong's package. Although he succeeded, he didn't directly open the package, restraining his impulse , he didn't want to be seen by other people and be guilty of committing crimes.

"Let's go."

……

After Scarface got the package, he kept the package in his arms without embarrassing Huang Chong. After taking Huang Chong to Changyuan Cabinet Workshop to pay the protection fee, they joined the team of Changyuan Cabinet Workshop together.

There were 27 people who participated in the Changyuan Cabinet operation this time. Except for an old man riding a donkey and a child like Huang Chong, the others were all young and middle-aged, and each of them was given a rough stick, which can be used It can be used as a weapon or as a crutch.

In addition, for the convenience of management, the 27 people were divided into three teams, and Scarface was the captain of one of the teams. With Scarface, I didn't expect that there was only Scarface alone. Of course, this is a good thing, so it will be easier for Huang Chong to retrieve his package.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the convoy set off on time.

This time Changyuan Cabinet Factory escorted a total of [-] carriages, each of which was covered with thick oilcloth, and it was hard to see what was inside, but judging from the ruts, Huang Chong estimated that at least half of them were filled with gold and silver. , so the speed is not fast, and the ordinary people behind can keep up.

The escort team consisted of more than 60 people, and every three guards guarded a carriage. They wore knives at their waists and had a strong aura. Although they were not as good as the inner guards, they were not far behind. He appeared to be amiable and rich, but in fact, in the whole team, Huang Chong felt that he was the most dangerous, and he should be a master of inner strength.

On the way, they met many people from the Jianghu with knives and swords, and even saw two small fights. After seeing the flag of Changyuan Cabinet, these people from the Jianghu chose to avoid it actively, although their scrutiny eyes would be cast on The faces of the people who followed the team did not dare to get too close.

I have to sigh with emotion - leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Seeing this scene, Huang Chong's heart was more than half relieved, the signboard of Changyuan Cabinet is still very useful.

After letting go of the external worries, Huang Chong put his mind on Brother Jiang. To be precise, it was the package he was carrying. The package had to be retrieved by himself, the certificate of the 10 taels of silver in the cabinet workshop and the two books obtained by Lu Yan's study. The books are all in the package.

Of course, Huang Chong took some precautions for the items in the package, but he didn't expect that Scarface could bear it until now and hasn't opened it yet. Once he opened it in a crowded place, things would be difficult.
