Outside the White Jade Pavilion.
There were carriages and pedestrians. Buildings with green bricks and black tiles rose from the ground, filled with the aura of history and time.
This was obviously a prosperous old street.
Stepping on the ancient bluestone slab, Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but ask,""We're fine too. Why are you leaving? I still want to sit for a while longer."
"Don't you know what it means to leave when the tea is cold? If you continue to sit here, I don't think you'll be able to keep your life.”Pan Zi said angrily.
"I have a very good relationship with Brother Qin.”Wu Tianzhen shouted and shook his head.
In the end, he asked with a puzzled expression,
"Pan Zi, why did you suddenly ask me to be the head of White Jade Pavilion just now? This wasn't what we discussed in advance. I called you over to help Brother Qin hold down the fort.”
Pan Zi stopped and turned to look at him silently.
Being stared at by a burly man like this, Wu Tianzhen felt goosebumps all over his body and could not help but take a few steps back.
" Haha!" Pan Zi laughed and asked seriously," Did I look handsome just now?" Aren't you awe-inspiring?"
Wu Tianzhen's face darkened and he said in a bad mood,""Awesome, domineering, as expected of the infamous chopstick head!”
Pan Zi nodded in satisfaction." That's right. It's a pity that we didn't manage to subdue that guy called Qin Chuan."”
At this point, Wu Tian was unhappy."You haven't told me yet. I called you here to help me hold the fort, not to cause trouble. How am I going to survive in the underworld in the future?”
Pan Zi was silent for a moment before shaking his head." Little Third Master, you should learn from Third Master."”
"You only see the surface of many things, but you don't see the human heart hidden under the skin.”
"What do you mean?" Wu Tian was shocked.
"Yesterday, you went to the Bloody Corpse Tomb with Wang Mazi. Last night, I brought people to go again.”Pan Zi said slowly.
"What are you going to do?"
Wu Tianzhen was a little confused." Didn't I tell Third Uncle about the process in detail last night?”
"Third Master's penis died. This matter is not big, but it's not small either.”Pan Zi explained, and his gaze gradually became strange.
"We broke through the Broken Dragon Stone of the main bloody corpse tomb and saw the charred bones of Wang Mazi and the others. Judging from the signs of struggle, he was burned alive.”
"Burned alive into charcoal?"
When Wu Tian imagined that scene, he felt his heart skip a beat.
He gasped." I didn't expect Wang Mazi to be so ruthless. He's actually playing the game of mutual destruction."”
Pan Zi looked at him and let out a long sigh.""We found the bodies of the two men you mentioned who went missing on the ground. Their necks were forcefully twisted and they died instantly.”
"His neck was broken? Are you kidding me? Who has such strength?" Wu Tianzhen didn't believe it.
Pan Zi smiled and said faintly,"I can easily break your neck."”
With that, he grabbed Wu Tianzhen's head with both hands and lifted him into the air.
Wu Tianzhen was nearly 1.8 meters tall and weighed 156 kilograms. At this moment, he was like a little chick, messy in the wind.
"Stop, stop, stop. Let go. I can't breathe.”
Wu Tianzhen's face flushed red. His limbs flailed wildly, but he could not struggle.
"Do you believe me now?" Pan Zi let go of him.
Wu Tianzhen patted his chest to calm his pounding heart. He said unhappily,""You're Third Uncle's chopstick head, the infamous Master Pan. How many people like you can be found in Changsha City?”
"Didn't you see it just now?”Pan Zi said faintly.
" What?" Wu Tianzhen was stunned." Are you talking about the one called Scarface Tiger?" By the way, how do you know him?"
Pan Zi's eyes were filled with reminiscence as he said emotionally,""In the past, I fought with a monkey in South Vietnam. Scar Tiger was the leader of a reconnaissance team. He was the only one who survived a mission to infiltrate the enemy's territory, leaving behind that scar. That was why everyone called him Scarface Tiger. He was a ruthless man.”
Wu Tianzhen listened carefully and suddenly asked curiously,""Then who is more powerful between you and him?”
Pan Zi smiled and didn't answer directly.
"Scarface Tiger!"
Wu Tianzhen muttered in a low voice, and his expression gradually became absent-minded." Then, according to what you said, those two people…"
As he spoke, he shook his head in disbelief."How could this be…Brother Qin can't be such a person. He looks very kind and friendly."
Before Wu Tianzhen could finish, Pan Zi stopped him and shook his head.""Third Master has been very busy recently and doesn't have much energy to deal with this matter. I'm just guessing. There's not enough evidence for this kind of thing.”
"Just now, I wanted to suppress Qin Chuan's power, but unfortunately, I couldn't. The White Jade Pavilion will belong to that Godfather Qin sooner or later.”
Pan Zi's expression was uncertain. He shook his head and sighed,""A hungry wolf has appeared in Changsha City!"
...
White Jade Pavilion.
Qin Chuan sat on the armchair and sized up Lu Hu's cold face.
"Hu Zi, if you were to fight to the death with Master Pan, what are your chances of winning?" he asked after a long while.”
" This depends on the weapon, the timing, the terrain, and the people…If it's barehanded combat," Lu Hu frowned and thought seriously.
After pondering for a while, he said in a deep voice," 50 - 50!”
"What do you think of Master Pan's chopstick head?" Qin Chuan smiled and asked again.”
"Since he can make chopsticks, I, Lu Hu, won't lose to him.”Lu Hu's answer was concise and powerful.
"Very good!"
Qin Chuan was all smiles as he said to Leather Bag,""I'll give you three days to sell the stuff in White Jade Pavilion at a low price. Take out a sum of money to treat Lu Hu's mother's illness, and convert the rest into cash.”
Hearing this, Lu Hu's expression changed. He said in a deep voice,"Then I'll sell my life to Godfather Qin.”
Qin Chuan nodded his head indifferently, there was no reluctance in his heart.
In any case, the White Jade Pavilion's assets had basically been squandered by Wang Mazi. What was left behind were some scrap metal that was not worth much.
Of course, this amount of money was still a huge asset to the ordinary people of this era.
After all, White Jade Pavilion wasn't the only place for betting. There were several other shops on the ancient street outside.
However, it was only a drop in the bucket for the huge hole in White Jade Pavilion's account.
As he thought about it, Qin Chuan began to think about the path he should take next.
His goal had always been clear. One person's strength was limited. Relying on the mature system of the Nine Gates, he could gather his own people and become stronger.
However, White Jade Pavilion was only responsible for distributing the funerary objects. They could not touch the funerary objects underground immediately.
This was like rootless duckweed, earning money depended entirely on the lama's attitude.
Furthermore, 80% of the profits from a complete lama-pinching operation would go to the iron chopsticks.
As for the remaining 20%, Lamapan took half of it, leaving Ma Pan with the rest.
To put it bluntly.
Ma Pan was at the bottom of the system, picking up the leftovers of others.
However, the risks were not small at all. The government focused on cracking down on the people in the horse race. They would easily be imprisoned and have no worries about food and clothing.
Qin Chuan naturally didn't want to do such a thankless task.
With some of the memories of his previous life, he also had information about many ancient tombs. He could totally be an 'iron chopstick' and an exploiter of the industrial chain.
The only thing he lacked now was a good fighter and fame in the underworld.
Only when he became famous would he be able to summon hundreds of people to respond and form a perfect cycle.
"Set a small target for him first, then go to the next ancient tomb and fill the big hole in the White Jade Pavilion.”
Qin Chuan did what he said without any hesitation.
He began to recall the information about the many ancient tombs in his mind and chose the most suitable ancient tomb at the current stage.
