I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 37 Getting rich

"Now that I'm the gang leader, I naturally have to take care of the Red Head Gang's affairs. I want to protect the Red Head Gang and also protect their assets." Ruan Xing said in a firm tone, with a domineering attitude of being determined to win.

"It seems that your plan is going smoothly. As your brother, I would like to congratulate you on becoming the gang leader. However, no one can see through the city lord's mind, and the city lord's mansion is airtight and no information can be found out. Now we can only take one step at a time." Young Master Liu sighed.

But Ruan Xing is not the kind of person who takes one step at a time and sees things first. She always makes a choice after taking a hundred steps. She will choose the direction that the simulation result best matches her ideas.

After a moment's silence, she said, "Well, I still have things to deal with. I'll go back to the gang first. Let me know when your brother-in-law wakes up."

Young Master Liu nodded and said, "Well, you should be careful. If it doesn't work out, you can give up part of your foundation. Anyway, I have become the commander of the left. I will come back after the storm has passed and I will develop slowly for a few years."

How many years? She didn't want to wait for several more years. Ruan Xing made up her mind, said goodbye, and left the Qianshi Mansion and returned to the Red Head Gang headquarters.

It was already dark, and the evening breeze blew away the heat of the day, but it could not blow away the bloody smell of the Red Head Gang headquarters.

Lanterns with red characters on them have been lit under the eaves and corridors of every house, swaying slightly in the wind.

When she returned, she happened to see Zhang Chenghui directing several lower-level gang members to pour water on the ground to clean up the bloodstains.

In addition to the meeting room, there were also a lot of blood from the guards and secret sentries outside. It was difficult for him to clean up such a large area so quickly.

Could it be that the body has been disposed of? She immediately asked, "Xiaohui, where was the body sent?"

Zhang Chenghui stiffened when he heard this, and he forced a smile and said, "They have all been collected and placed in the ancestral hall, waiting for their families to take them back for burial."

"Oh?" Ruan Xing snorted and laughed twice with ambiguous meanings, and Zhang Chenghui immediately broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

He was secretly annoyed at himself for having such good intentions. Now, he was dissatisfied with the first thing the new gang leader ordered him to do. He would definitely be the next one to be attacked, Zhang Chenghui thought a little desperately.

"You are quite compassionate." However, Ruan Xing did not punish him. He did not expect that this man was so naive. He did not know how he had survived in the gang for so many years. Could it be that there was really someone who honestly followed the rules set by Xiaohong and never took advantage of loopholes?

She had already asked Lu Youqi and Zhao Sanniang to search the house, so how could anyone come to claim the body?

“Xiaohui, go buy…” Ruan Xing thought for a long time, but couldn’t remember the specific quantity, so he simply said, “The thin wooden coffin, put the device in place, I need it.”

"Yes." Zhang Chenghui breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had escaped a disaster, he also understood that there was no way the gang leader would allow those people to be buried properly.

"By the way." Ruan Xing asked casually, "Have Xiaoqi, Xiaohong and the others returned?"

"Deputy Gang Leader Hong brought some people to carry the things back, and is now waiting in the study to report to you. Brother Seven and the others are not here yet."

I didn’t expect the efficiency to be so fast. Ruan Xing was a little happy. He quickened his pace and went to the study.

Before entering the room, Ruan Xing had already seen more than a dozen large boxes piled in the courtyard outside the study door. The lids were half open, allowing Ruan Xing to see the gold, silver, treasures, and pearls inside at a glance.

The clear moonlight poured down, mixed with the half-red and half-yellow light from the lanterns on the eaves, as if it had given the gold and silver a layer of ambient light, making them sparkle. Her eyes lingered upwards, and she was unable to move.

so much!

If it were in the second dimension, the shape of her pupils would have definitely changed into little stars.

No wonder joining a gang has become the pursuit of all young men in Jiangning City. It turns out that it is so profitable?
Hong Xi was originally waiting at the door of the study room, and turned around when he heard the footsteps.

God have mercy on him, that was originally his study, but now he didn’t even dare to enter it.

He stepped forward and nodded to Ruan Xing, saying, "Boss, all the private property and assets embezzled by the gang's scoundrels, as well as all the current income from the gang's internal treasury, are all here. Due to time constraints, I was unable to check them one by one. This is a rough list, please take a look."

Hong Xi handed over a thin booklet with both hands, which still had the smell of fresh ink.

Ruan Xing took it and glanced at it casually, then frowned and said, "These banknotes, as well as antiques and jade, should all be exchanged for gold and silver and sent back to me."

Hong Xi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he quickly said: "Boss, please forgive me, so many banknotes... The banks in Jiangning City may not have so much cash! Moreover, it may take time to convert those artifacts into cash..."

In the past, besides some precious medicines, the red-headed Taoist loved those antique jades the most. The older the better, and if they came from a tomb, it would be even better. When he saw the pure white boy following Ruan Xing, he thought her hobbies would be similar to this, but now it seems different. The hobbies of this new gang leader are so straightforward that they are scary.

Just gold and silver.

Ruan Xing understood it after a rough thought. The purpose of collecting various precious medicines was to refine medicine, and the antiques were for puppets. The white jade eyeball that Jian Lai brought was an antique with spiritual energy that the Red-headed Taoist carefully selected.

But she doesn't practice puppetry, so there is no need for this.

He was just curious: "Jiangning City is a big city with tens of thousands of people living in it, how come there is not so much cash?"

"This..." Hong Xi hesitated, "Nowadays, merchants use silver bills for convenience. We just gave tribute silver to various places before the New Year, and now it is the summer harvest. The place with the most silver in Jiangning City is the government treasury. The silver banks in the entire Jiangning City will not have tens of thousands of taels of silver added up. If we exchange all the silver bills, I am afraid it will affect the unrest in the lives of the people in the city..."

He was hesitant to speak, and his meaning was very clear. If all the silver in the bank was exchanged, the other ordinary merchants and people who did not know the truth would certainly panic and think that something big was going to happen, and would follow the crowd to exchange silver. However, they had already exchanged all the silver, and the people had nothing to exchange. They would not believe any excuse of delaying for a few days, and would only spread the word that the bank had no silver, causing greater panic. Then the economy of Jiangning City would really collapse. Hong Xi was also a native of Jiangning City, so naturally he did not want to see this happen, so he bravely advised Ruan Xing.

What can he do? Ruan Xing didn't want to harm innocent people, nor could he rob the government treasury, so he could only sigh and give up the idea of ​​exchanging silver notes, and said regretfully: "Okay, how do you give the filial piety silver every year? How much do you give?"

Hong Xi reported the details in detail: "The gang's net profit is about 23,000 taels every year. This is the income after paying taxes. Of this, 50% is used to purchase medicines and antiques for the Taoists, 30% is used to support the gang members and maintain the normal operation of the gang, and 20% is used for various gifts and arrangements. The patrol security department takes half of it as dividends."

Ruan Xing made a rough calculation and found that he had to give out gifts worth more than four thousand taels every year. It might not sound like a lot, but no matter how greedy an ordinary manager in charge of an area was, this would not be the amount he would spend in five years.

Alas, even if they do nothing, as long as they have the name of Patrol Security Bureau, we have to give them money.

Ruan Xing felt a little distressed and didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he asked, "How are the families of those people?"

"Detain him for now and await decision." Hong Xi replied softly.

"Well." Ruan Xing waved her hand, "You go down and rest first, we'll talk tomorrow."

Hong Xi respectfully took his leave, and Ruan Xing was the only one left in the study courtyard. She could no longer contain her excitement and happily rushed towards one of the boxes full of silver ingots.

The lid was open, and inside were several layers of silver ingots filled to the brim. Ruan Xing's small body was just enough to lie on it. She stretched her body and found a suitable position, squinting her eyes at the dark blue night sky.

Although it is hard and a bit uncomfortable.

But the dream of sleeping on silver.

Finally it happened!
It was impossible to fall asleep, not because I was uncomfortable, but because I had things to do! Ruan Xing only lay there for a while before turning over. She was about to recharge all the gold and silver in the boxes into the simulator, but suddenly stopped.

This is the first time she has so much money... Can there be a bug?

Ruan Xing didn’t know if it would work, but she wanted to try.

So he emptied the largest box and moved the contents to the ground. Then he carefully packed all the gold into it. There was still room left after putting all the gold in. Ruan Xing filled another half box with silver ingots, and used some small silver ingots to fill the gaps. He did this until the box was full and could no longer hold anything.

Still feeling a little worried, he took off all his clothes and exposed his butt.

Looking at the box in front of him, Ruan Xing rubbed his hands excitedly and began to simulate.

[Simulating]

At the age of six, you became the leader of the Red Head Gang... You used all your energy to slap yourself in the heart, and you died.

[End of simulation]

Please select the reward for this simulation:
1. Memories from when I was six years old.

2. A random item that was on my body when I was six years old.

3. A random skill mastered at the age of six.

4. The realm of cultivation reached at the age of six.

She couldn't wait to choose option 2, and suddenly, a big black box appeared in front of her.

There were two black boxes filled with gold and silver, one on the left and one on the right, looking symmetrical and beautiful. Ruan Xing's eyes were shining and his mouth was opened into an O shape.

It’s really possible. Then, can she rise to the sky by stepping on her left foot with her right foot, and keep simulating becoming the richest person in the world?
Anyway, it only costs her one or two taels of silver for one simulation now!
Just when Ruan Xing was about to try the same trick again, the simulator suddenly showed a busy tone interface as if it was broken.

[A fault has been detected! Urgently repairing it! ]

It’s broken. Could it be that there is a bug that ruins the simulator?
Fortunately, the simulator was repaired in a short while and could be used normally, but a patch was added. If she implanted the idea of ​​self-destruction into her simulated self again, she would not be able to choose the second option.

But it didn't matter. The simulator didn't take back the property she had just obtained from the bug. It was good to be able to get some benefits this time. She roughly calculated that there was one and a half of Pei Qianhu's wealth in this big box.

She looted more than two thousand taels of silver in Pei Qianhu's house, and four or five thousand taels of silver notes. As the manager with the most wealth in the Red Head Gang, he was able to save up so much wealth. Other managers did not have the extra income from managing the gang's business as he did, so even if they were more greedy, they would only have four or five thousand taels of wealth.

Originally, Hong Xi sent about 30,000 taels of gold and silver, and more than 80,000 taels of silver notes. Now she has conjured up about 10,000 taels, and she has 40,000 taels of cash.

After recharging all the money into the simulator, she checked her panel.

Name: Nguyen Hsing

Age: six years old

Skills: Gambling basics, spells basics, dance basics, weaving basics
Skill: Blood Refining Technique
Realm: Acquired

Points: 4 108 093
More than four million.
It is enough for Ruan Xing to simulate more than 40,000 times.

Although in reality Ruan Xing had new silver to recharge every time before her points were used up, she still had an inexplicable sense of urgency, because of the simulator's point system, the higher her cultivation level, the more points she would consume.

When she reaches the immortal world in the future, money will definitely not be as easy to make as in the mortal world. She has to save more now to prepare for the foundation of future cultivation. Moreover, she doesn't know the conversion ratio between spirit stones and gold and silver...

If the proportions were too outrageous, she would immediately become a pauper once she reached the realm of immortal cultivation, and would not be able to simulate as recklessly as she is now.

This is also one of the reasons why she dare not easily step into the evil practice.

After expressing his feelings, Ruan Xing began to calm down and do his work.

She has to find a way to resolve the Red Head Gang crisis through simulation.

Her initial thoughts were similar to Lu Youqi's. She didn't think that the city lord would go on a killing spree to destroy the Red Head Gang and plunge Jiangning City into a new gang struggle. It was just for money. It was useless for her to have those banknotes and rare items anyway. It would be better to give them to the city lord, plus those culprits who were pushed out and convicted. Isn't that sincerity enough?

However, after simulating it a few times, she felt something was wrong.

Every time she went to the City Lord's Mansion to give gifts, the City Lord refused to accept them. When the three-day deadline was up, he sent Thousand Ling Guards to encircle and destroy the Red Head Gang's headquarters.

At first she thought the city lord looked down on her because the money was too little. However, she had already given away all the 80,000 taels of silver notes and other valuable treasures she could afford, but the city lord was still indifferent. She was so angry that she cursed at the city lord, but she did not die in the city lord's mansion, but was driven out by Qianling Guards.

Then she tried a few more times, but no matter how rude she was, the city lord would not kill her in the city lord's mansion.

Why would he not kill me before the three-day deadline? Could it be that the three-day deadline was not an excuse from the city lord, but that he thought the Red Head Gang could really give him the explanation he wanted?

Ruan Xing remembered what Master Liu had said to her.

"...They also sent a doctor to examine my brother-in-law, and then they determined that it was the Red Head Gang who committed the crime..."

After seeing the ghost of the deputy out of his body, they concluded that the Red Head Gang was responsible.

Could it be that the city lord has seen the soul-leaving syndrome?

In other words, the city lord had a grudge against the Red-headed Taoist priest, and the Red-headed Taoist priest cast a spell to capture the souls of the city lord's relatives in order to threaten the city lord, so the Red-headed Gang established by the Red-headed Taoist priest could run rampant in Jiangning City... It seemed that this was indeed possible, because in the many simulations in which she did not kill the Red-headed Taoist priest, the Red-headed Taoist priest not only went to the Seventh Master's hall to capture her safely a few days later, but even had the leisure to use a spell to slowly curse her to death a few years later.

This is enough to prove that killing a clerk is not a big deal for the Red Head Taoist. As long as he is still alive, the city lord will not touch the Red Head Gang because he has the city lord's weak spot.

The more Ruan Xing thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. Now that the Red Head Taoist was dead, the city lord's years of pent-up frustration burst out, so he took the opportunity to show his power to the Red Head Gang. What he wanted an explanation was a certain soul that she didn't know about. If she couldn't hand it over within three days, the Red Head Gang would be buried with it.

Ruan Xing looked at the pennant in his hand and was at a loss.

The soul-leaving disease does not kill people, but turns them into a vegetative state and slowly weakens over five or six years before dying naturally. The assistant was able to be saved because it had not been more than three days, but the one in the City Lord's Mansion...how many years had it been?
She really has no idea what to do with this!
