Soon, the White Flame Assassin was surrounded. The White Flame Assassin's Stealth skill had a 20-minute cooldown time.
Therefore, he could no longer use invisibility to escape. He could only use the dagger in his hand to kill his way out.
In the end, the White Flame Assassin killed another three people, but he was still outnumbered. His body was covered in wounds, and his HP bar was quickly emptied.
Immediately, Lin Ye, who was far away in the dark alley, received a notification message.
"Ding! A White Flame Assassin has died!"
-1 White Flame Assassins!
Currently, the total number of White Flame Assassins: 7!
In this assassination mission, Lin Ye had lost a White Flame Assassin, but fortunately, in a few hours, his Assassin Training Camp would be able to train a brand new White Flame Assassin.
Lin Ye immediately wanted to rush back to the Aeon Pawnshop in Yiyang Square to collect the bounty that night.
Aeon Pawnshop had spies in every shop. Even in the middle of the night, they could send messages to each other through specially trained night pigeons.
Therefore, the people of Aeon Pawnshop soon learned that Cui Yifeng had died.
Moreover, many guards and experts of the House of Smoky Waves in Cui Mansion had started to search for the killer's accomplices in the workshop with torches.
The entire Yongan Lane was disturbed and in a mess. With such a big commotion, the informants of Yongwang Pawnshop naturally knew that something had happened to the Cui residence.
Immediately, Lin Ye used another minute to rush back to the Aeon Pawnshop.
The old shop owner of Aeon Pawnshop was stunned when he saw Lin Ye appear in front of him so quickly.
He had just received the news of the Night Pigeon from his informant in Yong 'an Lane when Lin Ye suddenly appeared.
Lin Ye was still wearing the Shura mask. He placed the pawnshop receipt on the counter and said,"I'm here to redeem my life!"
The old shop owner immediately checked the pawnshop slip. It was indeed the bounty slip that he had given out not long ago tonight.
"This customer, your luck is too good!”The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Ye through a slit in his eyes. He said,
"You've just received this order, and someone just happened to help you get rid of the target. A thousand silver taels, you can get it without any blood on your blade!”
Naturally, the old shop owner would suspect that Lin Ye was not the real killer who killed Cui Yifeng. He had just picked up a huge bargain.
Lin Ye did not say anything. He remained silent under the Asura mask.
Although the old shop owner had his doubts, the pawnshop receipt was real and the boss was dead. According to the rules, he could only pay up.
Immediately, the old shop owner took back Lin Ye's pawnshop receipt and gave him a certificate of the shop.
With this certificate, you can take one thousand taels of silver from the counter in Xi City.
In the Tang Dynasty, the counter was also known as the "money lock". It was a place to help customers exchange money and store it.
Chang 'an's West Market had a large circulation of coins and a large transaction volume, so most of the counters were set up in the West Market.
Now, Lin Ye had finally earned his first bucket of gold by relying on the extremely high-risk assassination industry. It was a thousand taels.
If he used all 1,000 taels of silver to buy land, Lin Ye could buy about 40 mu of fertile land!
However, Lin Ye wanted to use a portion of it to buy a house in Chang 'an so that Li Qingshuang could live in the city and become a decent landlady.
In Chang 'an, a mansion with more than 20 rooms and a courtyard, which occupied three acres, cost 300 strings of money, which was equivalent to 300 taels of silver.
Lin Ye felt that it was a good deal to spend 300 taels of silver to buy a large mansion. Compared to the high housing prices in modern times, the current housing prices in Chang 'an City were very good.
Three hundred taels, according to modern prices, was equivalent to one million in modern times.
One million yuan could buy a single-courtyard villa in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It had more than 20 rooms and even had its own garden and swimming pool. However, in some first-tier cities in the modern world, one million yuan could only buy a toilet at most.
In addition, Lin Ye also wanted to open a gambling den.
This was because Lin Ye planned to continue operating in the assassin industry for a long time and build his own assassin group in the future.
After all, there was the Assassin Training Camp. If he didn't make use of these White Flame Assassins to earn money, it wouldn't be worth it to let them stay idle in the training camp all day.
However, once he wanted to run a black industry like the assassin group for a long time, money laundering was particularly important. Otherwise, if he suddenly had a huge amount of wealth, it would attract many people's suspicion and unnecessary trouble.
Since ancient times, gambling dens had been the best place to launder money. Lin Ye could use gambling dens to launder all the money he earned from being an assassin.
As a result, his own career blueprint had begun to take shape. In the future, he would be involved in both black and white. Before long, he might become one of the top ten richest people in Chang 'an City.
With money, it would be much easier to develop his Chang 'an Lin Group in the future.
Therefore, during this period of time, Lin Ye planned to go to Aeon Pawnshop a few more times to do a few more deals and accumulate more capital to open a gambling den.
Of course, he also had to spend some time to visit the vacant mansion in Chang 'an. In this way, his children could live in a big house when they were born.
P.S. Please send me flowers and tickets, thank you!
