Chapter 74 Treasure
Caishikou was basically the default execution ground for criminals in the Daji Dynasty. Every province, state, prefecture and county had a Caishikou, which was the simplest vegetable trading market.

Why did they have to go to Caishikou to execute criminals? The reason was very simple. The vegetable market was the place where the lower-class people came and went the most.

The unspoken rule of choosing to execute the person at Caishikou was to warn the lowest class of the people in the dynasty and let them see what the consequences would be if they broke the law.

The street where Chen Ku was standing now was called Xinjiekou. It was a new street in the outer city. It was a bit muddy and unpaved. He watched Ni Kun's prison van coming over here.

Li Yuancheng also found his brother-in-law in the crowd, and was a little surprised. He came over and asked:

"Why are you here?"

"I was just about to go back to Yaowang Hall, but I didn't expect to meet you on the way."

Chen Ku told the truth.

Then he looked up at Ni Kun in the prison car.

Faced with this unlucky guy who was reported by him personally and then surrounded and caught by a dozen constables, Chen Ku always remembered the many invisible benefits that the other party brought to him.

Not to mention the reward of more than one hundred taels of silver, the fact that the blood sword turned into one was enough to make him very grateful to Ni Kun, the sucker.

"It's autumn now. There are ten prisoners to be executed this time, but he is the only one who will be paraded through the streets. The other prisoners have already been secretly taken to the vegetable market."

Li Yuancheng asked Chen Ku in a low voice:
"Do you want to watch a murder? For martial artists, it's best to see blood and death. This will help you build up your courage. Otherwise, if you really meet a vicious person, or someone dies in front of you, you will be scared out of your wits and your martial arts skills will be useless."

Not as good as that damn brother-in-law Chen Xin who caused him to lose his job.

He had a good impression of his brother-in-law Chen Ku, who helped him to regain his position, built up his family within a legitimate scope, and even allowed him to buy a stake in his Wuchensha Mine.

So, Li Yuancheng said these words now and asked Chen Ku to go and watch the murder. It sounds scary, but in fact it is beneficial for a novice who has never seen a bloody scene.

These are some of the experiences shared by a veteran who returned from the battlefield and became a constable.

Those who practice martial arts will see blood early and become successful early.

Especially since Chen Ku has quite good talent?
Chen Ku could feel his brother-in-law's thoughts, but his expression remained unchanged.

If he really was a rookie, he would definitely force himself to go and see, however… so far… he had taken so many lives that he couldn’t even count them on one hand.

Just at this time.

"Your name is Chen Ku, right? You're the one who reported me! You little bastard! You little bastard! Even if I die and become a ghost, I won't let you go!!"

Ni Kun in the prison van also saw Li Yuancheng and Chen Ku talking.

How can I not recognize Chen Ku?
This Li Yuancheng’s brother-in-law!
In addition, after he entered the county jail, he gradually realized that it was because of this little beast that his whereabouts were exposed. He was surrounded by a dozen constables without any preparation!
The key issue is,

Ni Kun didn't even know when Chen Ku discovered him! ?

Could it be that he discovered himself as soon as he arrived at Li Yuancheng's house that day, and then deliberately found an excuse to take his sister away, and soon the constables surrounded him.

But how is this possible?
Ni Kun had no idea where he had made the mistake and exposed his flaws.

Now, he is about to be sent to the execution ground and beheaded.

Ni Kun was so angry that he could meet this little thing that wanted to kill him again on the road. He stood in the prison car and leaned his head out, roaring at Chen Ku:
"Even if I die and become a ghost, I will not let you go, you little bastard. Remember this, in eighteen years, I will come to seek revenge on you!"

Originally, Chen Ku didn't want to see Ni Kun's death.

Because he didn't do it himself.

Unable to obtain the evil energy of the inner energy realm.

But now seeing Ni Kun's reaction, plus his brother-in-law's invitation, he was somewhat interested in seeing Ni Kun's head chopped off with his own eyes. In a sense, he would feel completely relieved.

"Okay, I'll go and see you get beheaded. Then you can come back to me in eighteen years."

Chen Ku replied to Ni Kun who was sitting in the prison van a few meters away, and then said to Li Yuancheng: "Brother-in-law, I will go with you to watch the murder."

Just one sentence.

Li Yuancheng raised his eyelids again, and was particularly surprised by Chen Ku's scrutiny.

I'll see you die, and I'll wait for you to come back to me in 18 years...

He couldn't believe that his brother-in-law from the countryside could say such easy words. How could he be so courageous and not afraid at all?
"This child will definitely have a bright future." Li Yuancheng said to himself.

Then Chen Ku was allowed to follow the prison van towards Caishikou.

…………

Baojiao County is located on the border. It can be said that this is a place where the emperor is far away and the head of the county is in a full sense a local emperor.

He holds the power of life and death over 100,000 households in Baojiao County.

At this time, the back garden of the extremely luxurious county magistrate's huge mansion was full of green plants and the autumn wind blew down the leaves.

The county magistrate Shangguan Yun held a black piece in his hand and slowly placed it on the chessboard. He said to the master opposite him, intentionally or unintentionally:
"Do you think the remnants of the previous generation of chivalrous kings will come?"

Sui You sat across the stone table chessboard from the number one man in Baojiao County, twisting the white pieces in his hands, and said slowly:

“More than a hundred years ago, the previous dynasty collapsed, and the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu, Emperor Taizu… and eight other rebels were collectively known as the ‘Ten Rebel Kings’.

Even the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu was the first rebel king to attack the Dahong Palace of the previous dynasty.

After that, Pei Dongliu occupied Hongjing City for a year.

Although they were defeated by Emperor Taizu a year later, Pei Dongliu died and his forces were destroyed.

But it was said that during that year, the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu had already secretly moved much of Hongjing City's wealth to other places, entrusted it to his four great guards...

For more than a hundred years, the Daji Dynasty has never forgotten the wealth of the previous dynasty.

However, in the end, only half of it was found.

As for the remaining half, only the four families inherited from the four great guards know where it is.

Unfortunately, over the years, these four families have been killed or annihilated. Two families have become extinct, and the remaining two families were so destitute when they disappeared for the last time decades ago that they no longer had any strong cultivators in the Five Realms..."

"The four great guards under the chivalrous king Pei Dongliu, the four heavenly kings back then, also known as the four fierce men, were indeed invincible.

Especially the Mountain Supporting Heavenly King Xiong Ying, who is truly... inhuman, a monster that can support a Half Moon Mountain. If it weren't for him, His Majesty Taizu and the other rebel kings would have been trapped to death in the world's number one pass."

Shangguan Yun watched Sui You place a move, then followed up with a nonchalant move, saying calmly:
"Speaking of which, if Xu Minjun had not accidentally displayed the Xiong family's 'Mountain Supporting Palm' to me at the chrysanthemum appreciation meeting a few years ago, I would not have been sure that she was a descendant of the Xiong family.

This girl has been in my hands for three years, but I still cannot get more secrets about the treasure of the Hero King from her.
If it weren't for the fact that every time someone tried to break into the prison in the past three years, they would have ended in failure.

I even doubt whether his family really knows the secret and whereabouts of the Xia Wang’s treasure?
But now I have no patience, so I will use it to fish one last time. If I can catch something, that’s fine. If not…”

The autumn night in the courtyard.

A black dot fell.

"That's fine. I have other means."

Sui You looked at the chessboard and realized that he could no longer make any moves. He cupped his hands and sighed, "Your Excellency is an expert in both chess and martial arts. This small Baojiao County is really a waste of your ambitions."

But at this moment, an old butler slowly walked over and whispered a few words to Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Hmm? Heian-do got involved too? Interesting."
