There were three rows of new banknotes neatly stacked in the chest, each stack about a foot thick. One of the top two rows had 100 taels written on it, while the other row had 50 taels written on it. "Brother Suo, why are there so many silver notes?" Didn't you say it was five hundred thousand taels?"

"There's a total of 550,000 taels of silver here," said Soertu with a smile. Every ten thousand taels was tied into a stack, so it was convenient to carry it with him. When you need it, just go to the silver shop and exchange it for gold and silver.”I picked up a stack of silver notes worth 100 taels each and pulled out one of them. I didn't know what paper this silver note was printed on, but it was quite thick. There was a water mark on the face of the note, which seemed to be used to prevent forgery. These 10,000 silver notes are much thicker than the 10,000 yuan notes in my era. No wonder they have to be carried in a box. He finally understood that he had been fooled by Hero Jin. Hundreds of thousands of silver taels, try carrying hundreds of thousands of RMB, how could you carry it with you at all times? On second thought, perhaps he was talking about 10,000 taels of silver each, so he felt relieved.

The joy in his heart was difficult to express, and he immediately wanted to pull Suo 'ertu to drink. However, Suo' ertu did not dare to stay too long because he was waiting for the Emperor to see him. After chatting for a while, he went to the study room to wait for orders. After sending off Suo Etu, I took out thirty thousand silver notes from the chest and put them in my pocket. I felt that my stomach was not comfortable, so I had to put back ten thousand silver to feel better. I couldn't help but sigh."It's really troublesome to be rich." She locked the box and stuffed it under the bed. She pulled out the box with the jewelry and wanted to pick out a few decent things to give to Chen Jinnan. Suddenly, she heard someone shouting outside,"Eunuch Gui, Eunuch Gui." He hurriedly grabbed a handful and put it in his pocket, hiding the box well.

I opened the door and saw Zhang Debiao standing at the door with a head full of sweat. I let him in. Zhang Debiao couldn't be bothered to speak. He picked up the teapot on the table and drank the leftover tea that had been brewed at some point in time. Then, he took a long breath and smacked his lips."What kind of tea is this? The taste is so strong, like fine wine.”I held back my laughter and said,"I don't know either. From what I heard from the Tea and Food Division, it seems to be a tribute from Yunnan Pu 'er."”When Zhang Debiao heard this, he raised the teapot to his mouth again, but he could not pour out a drop.

I smiled and said,"I don't know what's the matter with you running away in such a hurry."”Only then did Zhang Debiao remember that he was not here to drink tea. He said with an "ah","The rewards for our brothers in the storeroom have been given. As expected, each of them will be given thirty women who have committed crimes. In a while, we will let everyone go and choose them.”

When I heard this, I was overjoyed." Tell the brothers not to worry. I'll buy all the official slaves that we've been given. The price will be the same as last time." Also, when you and your brothers go to choose, you have to pick beautiful girls between the ages of fourteen to twenty.”Zhang Debiao said happily," Brothers, you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. It's just that how are you going to settle these many people? You can't bring them to the palace. Even if you can enter the palace, your house won't be able to fit them."”I laughed and said,"Of course I won't put them in the palace. I'll have to trouble you with this matter. Find a place outside and keep an eye on these people."”As I spoke, I took out a stack of banknotes from my pocket and handed it to Zhang Debiao."This is 10,000 taels of silver for buying everyone's servants. The extra money is my treat to the brothers.”He took out another stack of notes and found five thousand taels from it. He handed it to Zhang Debiao and said,"These five thousand taels will be used to settle these servants. In addition, when you go to choose, you can pay them a little to avoid being made difficult for others.”

Zhang Debiao received the silver notes and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He left happily.

Spending fifteen thousand taels of silver in one go, I felt very happy. I took out twenty thousand silver from the chest and quickly left the palace. I didn't walk far out of the palace when I was suddenly blocked by a small old man. I was startled and was about to flare up when the old man bowed respectfully and said in a low voice,"Subordinate Xu Tianchuan greets Incense Lord Wei.”So this is the Eight-armed Divine Ape, Xu Tianchuan. I wonder why this old monkey appeared early. I was planning to learn some code words from Chen Jinnan to tease him. Now that he has appeared, it won't be fun anymore.

I cupped my fists and said,"Hello, Big Brother Xu. What can I do for you?"”"The Chief changed his place of residence at the last minute and asked me to bring the Incense Master over to meet him," said Xu Tianchuan.”After saying that, he pointed to a carriage parked by the roadside and said,"Incense Master, please get in the car." I got into the car and Xu Tianchuan started driving. This time, he did not leave the capital. He turned around in the alleys and soon arrived in front of a house.

When I entered the courtyard, Chen Jinnan was already waiting for me. When he saw me, he waved his hand and ordered me to follow him into a side room. Closing the door, Chen Jinnan said," I wanted to stay and teach you for a few more days, but I received news yesterday that something happened in Fujian. I have to rush to deal with it. I have to leave tomorrow, so we only have one day."”I was very unhappy when I heard that. How could one day be enough to learn that mysterious chicken catching hand?

Chen Jinnan continued," Although the Internal Strength you learned is not the same as mine, it comes from the same source. Moreover, it's a little more advanced than what I've learned. Therefore, you were taught Internal Strength by Lianhai Dafu."”I thought to myself,"Then what else can you teach me? This master is too cheap."”He couldn't help but say what he was thinking,""Then what can you teach me, Master?”Chen Jinnan said," You have some foundation in palm techniques now, but you don't know much about the acupoints. Besides, you don't use the right amount of force to hit them. I'll teach you some practical methods first. It'll be more or less useful when you're facing an enemy."”I couldn't help but feel disappointed, but I still pretended to be happy and urged him to teach.

Chen Jinnan ordered me to stand up straight and said,"The acupuncture points that Hai Dafu taught you previously are all major acupuncture points on the human body. Although they are extremely lethal, because they are important acupuncture points on the human body, the enemy will naturally be on guard. Today, I will only teach you four acupoints, but they will be quite useful to you.”As he said that, he pointed at my thigh near my abdomen, the outer side of my thigh, and the middle of my back. He said,"These three acupoints are the Futu, Fengshi, and Yangguan acupoints.”He pulled my arm and pressed on the inside of my elbow. My hand went numb. Chen Jinnan said,"This is the Quchi acupoint. Your body is short, so it's easy to be caught by the enemy. Therefore, you can use this acupuncture point to paralyze the enemy's arm and you can escape. The Fu Tu and Feng Shi acupuncture points are located in front and on the side of the leg. These two acupuncture points can make the enemy lose feeling in the leg and cannot move for four hours. The Yangguan Acupoint at the back can cause the opponent's entire body to stiffen, allowing you to easily capture the enemy.”I was overjoyed and carefully noted down the location of each acupoint. After I could accurately point these acupoints on myself and Chen Jinnan, Chen Jinnan began to teach me how to use internal energy to point acupoints. It took me more than two hours to understand.

Chen Jinnan saw that I was almost done learning, so he grabbed my collar and ordered me to touch his Quchi acupoint. I was worried that I would hurt him, but Chen Jinnan said,"If you want to hurt me, I'm afraid you'll have to practice for another 20 years. Don't worry, just hit me. Besides, master has a way to unseal my acupoints.”I felt relieved after hearing what he said. I looked at the position and poured my internal energy into my palm. I slapped it over. Chen Jinnan's hand loosened and he retracted it. He said happily,"Very good. You hit the acupuncture points accurately and used just the right amount of strength. I really can't catch you anymore.”

"Master, I'll try hitting your Fengshi acupoint again."”Chen Jinnan nodded and turned his body to the side, facing the outside of his legs in front of me. I first used my finger to press on the Fengshi acupoint to confirm the location. Then, I withdrew my hand and suddenly hit it. As soon as my palm touched the thigh, I immediately sent my internal energy in.

Chen Jinnan let out a scream and his body fell to the ground. He immediately smashed me down and pressed heavily on my body.

Chen Jinnan sighed." In order to save words and prevent the total from exceeding 150,000, the author will pause the short paragraph at the end of the chapter from the next chapter. It would only be restored after the book passed through Sanjiang or was removed from the new book rankings. Qidian is not an easy place, please understand.”
