Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized why Zhang Chaozhong would save a beggar. It turned out that he was friends with Ning Qi!
"I didn't expect Zhang Chaozhong to know Boss Ning and even buy a sword from him. Boss Ning is going to be rich!!"
"In the future, if we say Zhang Chaozhong's name, I'm afraid no one will dare to cause trouble in Bluestone Town!"
"Even a grandmaster like Zhang Chaozhong uses Boss Ning's sword. One can only imagine how sharp Boss Ning's sword is. It's only selling for twenty taels of silver. After today, you might not even be able to buy it with two hundred taels of silver, right?"
"Xiao Qi, why didn't you say you knew Lord Sky Sword!"
Chen Asan said to Ning Qi excitedly.
Ning Qi didn't speak, but Zhang Chaozhong explained, "When I bought the sword, it wasn't the four masters yet. It's not surprising that Boss Ning didn't know."
"I see!"
"Thank you for your help today."
Ning Qi smiled and cupped his hands.
"It's what I should do. These scum of the Jianghu will die sooner or later. Today, they will die in the hands of I, Zhang Chaozhong. Their ancestors are blessed!"
Zhang Chaozhong smiled.
It didn't take long for the constables to arrive. When they saw the decapitated corpses on the ground, their faces fell. The leader of the constables asked around and found out that the three men had been killed by Zhang Chaozhong. He immediately bowed respectfully to Zhang Chaozhong.
Ordinary people might not know, but he knew that Zhang Chaozhong was not only one of the four masters of the Fire Stream Dynasty, but also held an important position in Wang Capital. Even constables like them would tumble a few times with a single breath. Naturally, they did not dare to slight him.
The constable wanted to take the opportunity to flatter Zhang Chaozhong, but Zhang Chaozhong ignored him. Only when he was talking to Ning Qi would there be a smile on his face. Not long after, he picked up one of the swords scattered on the ground, handed Ning Qi a banknote, and left.
Chen Asan's eyes were sharp. When he saw the amount of the silver note, he gasped.
Ten thousand taels of silver!
A whole ten thousand taels of silver!
What kind of concept was this?
An ordinary person would only need five taels of silver at most for a year. This ten thousand taels of silver was enough for an ordinary person to eat and drink for a whole two thousand years!
Chen Asan didn't feel jealous. Instead, he felt happy for Ning Qi. He quickly reminded Ning Qi in a low voice, "Quickly put away the banknotes."
Although Ning Qi had Zhang Chaozhong as his backer, if people knew that Ning Qi was carrying a huge sum of money, it was inevitable that some fellows would take the risk and come looking for trouble.
Ning Qi put away the money. At this time, the constable had already walked in front of Ning Qi and said with a smile, "So Boss Ning knows a great character like Celestial Sword. This one has been disrespectful."
"Constable Lin, it was just a coincidence. I'm not that familiar with Sky Sword."
Ning Qi smiled.
When Arrester Lin heard that, he decided that in the following days, he would personally patrol this street and build a relationship with Ning Qi. In the future, he might be able to make friends with Zhang Chaozhong through Ning Qi, which would be extremely useful for his future.
Therefore, Constable Lin called for the constables to help clean up the sword shop that was destroyed by the Wild Cloud Hand trio. Seeing this, Ning Qi stood at the side happily.
"Boss Ning, thank you!"
The male beggar brought the female beggar to Ning Qi.
"You're welcome."
Ning Qi smiled and waved his hand.
The male beggar took a deep look at Ning Qi, then turned around and left with the female beggar.
A few days passed. Other than the incident with the Wild Cloud Hand a few days ago, Green Stone Town had once again returned to its usual peace. However, in front of Ning Qi's shop, there were always swordsmen and merchants waiting to buy swords. They had more or less received the news that Zhang Chaozhong was here to buy swords, so they all came out of admiration. However, Ning Qi suddenly set a rule that he would only sell one sword in seven days. This caused these fellows to line up at the door before the sun rose. When the other merchants heard this, they all felt that Ning Qi would not do it.
Business, at this time, why not sell all the swords? If he only sold one sword in seven days, how long would he have to sell it? Early in the morning, when Ning Qi opened the door of his shop, the lucky ones who got the quota left happily with their swords. The others could only leave in low spirits. They had tried to persuade Ning Qi to pay ten times the price for a long sword, but Ning Qi still refused to sell. Only now did they realize that Ning Qi's behavior was strange.
For ordinary people, coupled with their relationship with Zhang Chaozhong, seeing that Ning Qi was determined to follow the rule of only selling one sword in seven days, no one dared to break this rule.
When it was close to noon, Ning Qi saw the two child beggars passing by. They looked around at the stalls selling steamed buns and seemed to be swallowing their saliva.
This kind of scene was often seen with child beggars, so everyone was used to it. However, there were too many child beggars, and no amount of help could save them all.
"You two, come here."
Ning Qi waved at the two of them.
Seeing that it was Ning Qi, the male child beggar hesitated for a moment, then brought his sister to Ning Qi. However, he did not enter the shop. It seemed that he was too dirty and did not want to dirty the shop.
"What's your name, brother? What's your sister's name?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"My brother's name is Bei Xiao, and I'm Bei Meng!"
The little girl answered first.
"Oh, Bei Xiao, Bei Meng. Good names."
Ning Qi smiled. "Do you want to eat steamed buns?"
Bei Xiao shook his head, but Bei Meng nodded. At the same time, her stomach made a rumbling sound.
"In the future, help me sweep the floor and do odd jobs. I will take care of your three meals a day, and give you a salary of one tael every month. What do you think?"
Ning Qi smiled.
Not only was Bei Xiao not happy, but a hint of vigilance appeared in his eyes. He stared at Ning Qi and said, "Boss Ning, there are odd jobs everywhere. Why did you hire us child beggars? We don't have much strength, so we can't do heavy labor. "
"Brother, Boss Ning is a good person. Let's stay here. My legs are tired …"
Bei Meng tugged at the corner of Bei Xiao's clothes.
Bei Xiao was unmoved. He continued to look at Ning Qi with bright and clear eyes.
"Haven't you heard of my name, Philanthropist Ning? If you don't want to stay, take these taels of silver and buy some food. "
Ning Qi smiled and threw a few pieces of silver to Bei Xiao. The silver flew in an arc and landed in Bei Xiao's palm. Bei Xiao was stunned for a moment. He looked down at the silver in his hand and then recalled the information he had heard about Ning Qi. The vigilance in his heart gradually disappeared, and his eyes softened. He took two steps forward and returned the silver to Ning Qi. Then, he said, "My sister and I are willing to stay and do odd jobs.
But my sister can't do too much work, so I'll take care of her share. "
"Hehe, earning your own living? Okay. "
