Cao Zhen did not notice the commotion under the table and left Cao Chen's room alone.
After Cao Zhen left, Cao Shuang came out from under the table.
"This soulless Cao Zhen actually spoke ill of me behind my back! Next time, I will refine him into a puppet!”
Cao Shuang wiped her mouth and said angrily.
"Don't worry, I, Cao Chen, love the country, but I love beauties even more!”Cao Chen comforted her.
"Is there still time? It's all that soulless Cao Zhen's fault for wasting so much of our time!”
Cao Shuang was so angry that her chest was bulging.
"Wait for me to come back. When I come back, I'll let you eat more, okay?”Cao Chen patted his head.
"Alright, don't make me wait too long!" Cao Shuang pouted. Take care of yourself. Don't get caught by Guo Jing.”
Cao Chen finally descended the mountain.
The purpose of going down the mountain this time was to recruit talents. There were two places where the heroes of Jianghu gathered. The first was the brothel, and the second was the restaurant.
The last time he went to the brothel to steal money, this time, he had to go to the restaurant to win over talents.
Cao Chen came to a restaurant in the Yuan Capital and saw many Jianghu people gathered there. They seemed to be discussing something.
Cao Chen blended into the crowd and eavesdropped on a big secret.
It turned out that they were all victims of money theft when they stayed in a brothel a few days ago.
They wanted to settle the score with Zhang Wuji, but he had shut himself in and did not come out. Behind him, there was also Prince Ruyang as his backer, so they could only suffer silently.
These people were agitated and were cursing while holding an IOU in their hands.
Cao Chen rolled his eyes and had an idea. He secretly went to another room, borrowed a pen and paper, and wrote an IOU.
The IOU read,"The person who stole the woman's ticket is Zhang Wuji! I, Zhang Wuji, forgot to bring money with me today. I will borrow some money from Young Master first. In the future, I will definitely return it double! The debt is thirty thousand taels of silver!"
Cao Chen blew the ink dry and secretly put it in his arms.
It was time to show off his real skills!
Cao Chen squeezed into the crowd and silently listened to the victims denounce Zhang Wuji's evil behavior.
Suddenly, Cao Chen jumped onto the table and shouted,""Everyone, listen to me. We are all victims. Money is a small matter, but insulting my reputation is a big deal. Zhang Wuji, that dog thief, stole our money and made us lose face in the brothel!
Everyone, come with me to settle the score with Zhang Wuji! I'll lead everyone and get the money back!”
"Good!"
"Well said!"
The people below clapped and cheered.
In fact, they were here to vent their dissatisfaction, but no one dared to stand up and be the organizer.
Now that a leader had suddenly appeared, everyone was extremely happy.
"Everyone, shout with me: Beat up Zhang Wuji and return my girlfriend's money!”Cao Chen raised his arms and shouted.
"Beat up Zhang Wuji and return my girlfriend's money!”
For a moment, the crowd was excited and everyone's emotions were fully mobilized.
Cao Chen led this group of people to Zhang Wuji's residence.
The door of Zhang Wuji's house was tightly locked. Cao Chen was shouting and cursing outside the door. He kept kicking the door. The people behind him also cheered for him.
Finally, Zhang Wuji couldn't stand the disturbance anymore. He opened the door and appeared.
When Cao Chen saw Zhang Wuji come out, he immediately retreated into the crowd and hid in the crowd, not saying a word.
"Are you guys done? I, Zhang Wuji, have never been to a brothel. I have a mountain of gold and silver. Why would I steal your money? Don't you guys use your brains? If you continue to fool around like this, don't blame my Nine Yang Divine Technique for being blind!”
Zhang Wuji sternly reprimanded this group of troublemakers.
This group of people did not dare to speak after being reprimanded by him.
At this moment, Cao Chen suddenly appeared and said,""No matter what, this matter started because of you. Even if you didn't do it, it was your enemy who wanted to frame you. So, you can't get away with this!”
Cao Chen's words made the brothel theft incident more complicated, but at the same time, it also made it more vague.
There was indeed a person in the martial arts world who hated him very much and often used his name to do bad things. This was a fact.
Zhang Wuji did not find any evidence to prove his innocence, but this matter had indeed troubled everyone because of his enemy.
Cao Chen saw that Zhang Wuji did not speak and continued,""Since that's the case, we'll both take a step back. If you pay us back according to the amount of the IOU, we won't pursue your responsibility anymore.”
This group of people actually just wanted to make a scene. If they could compensate double the money, they were willing.
After all, it was impossible to really take down Zhang Wuji.
"Alright, follow me into the residence. I'll return you double the amount written on the IOU. This matter will be written off!”
Zhang Wuji felt that it was best to spend money to avoid disaster.
Zhang Wuji led this group of people to his study and carefully checked everyone's IOU. He would compensate them double the amount on the IOU.
Cao Chen blended into the crowd and looked around in Zhang Wuji's study. Then, he secretly stole a shoe and a jade pendant that Zhang Wuji had placed outside and hid them.
Finally, it was Cao Chen's turn to take out the IOU.
"Thirty thousand taels? Are you blackmailing me? They only have ten thousand taels of silver in total. How can you have an IOU for thirty thousand taels of silver?？”
Zhang Wuji had never thought that there would be someone with an IOU of 30,000 taels of silver. If he were to pay double, it would be 60,000 taels of silver.
This wasn't a small sum of money. Yuan Country's economy was in dire straits. Sixty thousand silver taels was a huge sum.
