Mysterious World Tour
Chapter 308: Taking from others (Second update)
Tan Mo had never seen such a shameless person!
After "half-split" and "taxation", only 45 taels of silver remained out of the 100 taels.
So, Tan Mo quickly collected them with his sleeves.
If he didn't collect them, someone would come up with some tax name, and he might not even get 10 taels of silver.
Taxes are more ferocious than tigers, how can they be called in vain?
Tan Mo rolled his eyes, but he didn't care that 55 taels of silver were gone out of the 100 taels, which shocked Huo'er who sneaked out.
"Aren't you blinded by money?"
How could a little monk who was blinded by money be so generous?
Huo'er suspected that he had been trapped in his sleeves for too long, so he had hallucinations.
"Yes." Tan Mo never denied what he said. Of course, this was when there was no room for denial and it was harmless.
"Then why are you so generous? Fifty-five taels of silver! How much did you take from the Zhang family before you were willing to give it to me?" Huo'er continued, looking strange.
Along the way, in addition to the Zhang family, there was another family who encountered a ghost and wanted to ask Tan Mo for help, but they didn't pay first. In addition, Tan Mo took a look and found that they were just contaminated by an ominous aura, and there was no ominous thing entangled with them, so he left directly.
Afterwards, when she asked about it, the little monk actually said to her: "This family is full of empty words. It is obviously a family that can barely make ends meet, but they promised to give the little monk a hundred taels of gold afterwards. How can I believe such lies? I am afraid that in the end, they will only default on their debts or even blame others."
Although this makes sense, Huo'er still feels that this little monk is essentially obsessed with money.
"I am greedy, but I never said I am a stingy person! What's more, I did make a promise, and it is reasonable to pay taxes. Is the land under heaven the king's?" Tan Mo said expressionlessly, speaking very seriously, as if he really thought so in his heart.
Huo'er, who was asking for trouble, did not pester this point anymore. She told Tan Mo that she didn't want to hide in her sleeves anymore, because the little princess kept pulling Tan Mo's sleeves, shaking her dizzy.
Tan Mo thought about it, and took Huo'er to meet the little princess, and introduced the little princess to this old woman who survived from the last era.
I don't know what Huo'er is up to, but he can chat with the little princess very well.
Tan Mo watched for several days, but when Huo'er didn't do anything strange, he had to give up watching.
Someone invited him today, and he was going out for a banquet.
The people who invited him were those who wanted to see the little princess but couldn't.
A few days ago, when Tan Mo was out, he unexpectedly met the martial arts master among those people.
After the martial arts master, who was very good at dealing with people and had a mine at home, presented a big gift, Tan Mo, who was short of money, had to take the martial arts master to meet the little princess.
When the little princess heard that the other party was willing to give her most of the silver mines dug by his family, she immediately nodded and agreed to his request, and promised that when her mother came back to pick her up, she would ask her mother to send a practitioner in the Six Imperial Realms to the martial arts master's home to take charge.
This martial arts master is already middle-aged, and in a few years, his health will begin to decline. And the hidden injuries he got from practicing martial arts in his early years will probably recur one after another.
The martial arts master, who felt that he had only a few years to live, had this idea.
When he was strong, he could barely protect his family, but once his strength declined, or his old injuries recurred and he died, then his family's good days would be over.
That silver mine that made his family rich will also become a death warrant!
When has there been less cases of people being killed for money in the martial arts world?
You can only gain if you give up. The Bai family, a family attached to the spiritual world, is undoubtedly the best choice. In this case, maybe his family can produce a few people who practice in the Nine Profound Realm.
No matter how weak the Nine Profound Realm is, it is qualified to master spells!
And will a family in the spiritual world like the Bai family lack spells used in the Nine Profound Realm?
Tan Mo's invitation today was caused by this incident.
After that martial arts master, somehow, the news that there was a little monk around the little princess who could influence the little princess's thoughts spread. Even if Tan Mo insisted on refusing to accept gifts, the gang still asked him to leave again and again.
Tan Mo was so annoyed that he had no choice but to go today.
However, he didn't dare to bring people to see the little princess again.
The request of the martial arts master was not difficult to fulfill, and he could also bring a large sum of silver to the princess.
Most of the proceeds from the excavation of a silver mine, even a small one, could produce tens of thousands of taels of silver. Moreover, this silver mine had been dug by the martial arts master for so many years, and it had not been completely dug out. According to him, they estimated that they had only dug about one-tenth of the silver mine.
I think the princess would not blame him after knowing this.
But the others were either from the sect or from the side branches of the spiritual world family. It was obvious that their requests would be very difficult to fulfill.
Tan Mo did not want to cause trouble for the princess.
After all, the princess was also "one of our own family".
But if he caused trouble for the princess, even if the princess did not say anything, he would be beaten by his senior brother.
Let his second senior brother Bai Guzi do the beating!
He was still a child!
Tan Mo walked out of the Bai family.
Having lived here for so many days, the guards of the Bai family had known him for a long time. When Tan Mo walked to the gate, several guards on duty at the gate today asked Tan Mo if he wanted someone to follow him.
After thanking the guards for their kindness, Tan Mo went straight to the only restaurant in the county.
Bai County is not small. There were originally several restaurants, but in the chaos, only the last one was closed. This one is not the Bai family's. The Bai family's restaurant had been closed for a long time because of frequent extortion, poor management, and serious embezzlement by the manager.
When he arrived at the restaurant, the vegetarian dishes were already prepared. Tan Mo prepared a lot of excuses, but in the end, he couldn't use a single word, because these people didn't say anything, as if they really invited him out to eat and drink.
Before leaving, they also prepared gifts for him.
They were heavy and valuable.
But Tan Mo didn't accept any of them.
After he went back, only one day later, those people came to invite Tan Mo out for dinner again.
Tan Mo couldn't refuse, so he had to go again.
It was another day of eating and drinking, and the gang still said nothing.
After a day or two, the gang invited Tan Mo out for dinner. At first, it was a restaurant in the county, and later it was a farm in the countryside. They always ate and drank, and the gang didn't ask for anything.
One day, the gang invited him out for dinner again.
Tan Mo thought about it and agreed directly.
If he refused, the gang would probably come several times again, giving him a headache.
"Where is the banquet this time?" Tan Mo asked the servant who came to inform him.
"It's by the Yunbai Lake outside the city. There are many maple trees there, and many gentlemen go there to enjoy the scenery every year."
Tan Mo nodded.
Although the distance was a bit far this time, he didn't think much about it, after all, he had been there several times before.
