Three thousand taels of gold!

Seven thousand taels of silver!

Some antique calligraphy and paintings, worth 20,000 taels!

Listening to Dong Qingsheng's reward, Shen Changqing couldn't help but feel startled, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, ten years of cleansing the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver!"

Three thousand taels of gold is equivalent to thirty thousand taels of silver.

that's all.

There are already fifty-seven thousand taels.

Shi Qingsheng said: "In addition to these, the Zhao family also owns several shops and some properties in Lin'an City. The current estimated value is a little more than 150,000 taels. Combined with the previous income, the total is about 210,000 taels."

Two hundred and one thousand taels!

Shen Changqing took a deep breath.

An ordinary family's annual expenses are only one or two taels of silver.

A Zhao family in Lin'an City is worth 210,000 taels. You can imagine how much people's wealth Zhao Fang has stolen.

and.

The Zhao family in Lin'an City is just a main clan of the Zhao family. In fact, the Zhao family is still spreading its branches in various places.

Count carefully.

The various branches added together might be able to break through the 500,000 tael mark.

"According to your instructions, those antique calligraphy, paintings and real estate will be sold off tomorrow and converted into cash, all of which will be deposited into the government warehouse. When spring starts tomorrow, they will be taken to the capital together with the tax revenue!"

While talking, Shi Qingsheng handed the notebook in his hand to Shen Changqing.

"These are some specific records, please take a look at them."

"Um."

Shen Changqing reached out to take the account book and read it carefully.

quite a while.

He handed the ledger back.

"Then do this!"

"yes!"

Shi Qingsheng accepted the order and retreated.

——

After a brief lunch, Shen Changqing did not go anywhere else. He just stayed in the yamen and concentrated on cultivating his Tianwu Gangqi.

In the bedroom.

He sat cross-legged, took out a Tongmai Pill, and swallowed it directly.

The elixir entered his stomach and immediately turned into a powerful warm current.

Following the thought, Tianwu Zhenqi rose from the Dantian, merged with the warm current, and then struck towards a meridian.

Boom! !

A thunderous sound echoed through the body.

The meridians that originally took a whole night to break through can now be broken through with ease.

time flies.

Every once in a while, Shen Changqing waits for the Tongmai Pill to be exhausted before swallowing another pill.

that's all.

Swallow one pill of Tongmai Dan.

When he wanted to pour out a Tongmai Pill again, he suddenly discovered that the porcelain bottle was empty.

"Gone!?"

Shen Changqing looked stunned, but immediately felt relieved.

A bottle of Tongmai Dan only has eight pills if you give it a try.

Normal warriors will only swallow one pill when they encounter a bottleneck in their practice. The rest depends on their own hard work and accumulation. It can only be said that there are few people like me who use Tongmai Pill to swallow it throughout the process. Very few.

but.

The Tongmai Pill has been completely digested, and the results are gratifying.

The Tianwu Qi in the dantian has grown a lot. Although it cannot compete with the pure Yang Qi, it is not squeezed into the dantian and unable to move like before.

Two powerful qi.

There are already faint signs of conflict.

It's just that the Tianwu True Qi is still too weak, and there is no way to swallow the Pure Yang True Qi for the time being.

Look at the panel again.

Tianwu Gangqi has jumped directly from the first level to the third level.

"Taking direct aim at the innate superior martial arts, it only took half a day to break through from the first level to the third level. Borrowing external force is indeed much faster than practicing hard on your own!"

Seeing the data on the panel, Shen Changqing also took a deep breath.

If there was an unlimited supply of Tongmai Dan, he might be able to reach the innate realm within a month without borrowing a panel.

This thought.

Shen Changqing was just thinking about it.

First of all, the effect of the Tongmai Pill is amazing, and it goes without saying how precious it is. It is definitely not easy to get it.

Again.

No matter how good the elixir is, it still has a negative side effect, which is erysipelas.

When swallowing the Tongmai Pill, Shen Changqing noticed that a lot of impurities had been produced in his body.

Fortunately.

Those impurities were refined by the pure Yang Qi.

If the impurities are twice as strong, it will definitely not be easy to refine even the pure Yang Qi.

"Forget it, I don't have to think about swallowing the pills to practice the whole process for the time being. Now that Tianwu Gangqi has been upgraded to the third level, it can be regarded as saving a lot of time.

The subsequent killing value can be used to comprehensively improve the Tianwu Gangqi. "

According to the convention that the higher the level, the higher the consumption, Shen Changqing felt that the improvement of two levels of Tianwu Gangqi saved him at least 10.8 points of killing points.

Killing a monster that was about to break through the grudge level gave you fifteen kill points.

That is to say.

The killing value that ordinary ghost-level monsters can contribute is around ten points, maybe even less than ten points.

at this time.

The night is already deep.

Shen Changqing specifically ordered that no one should disturb him while he was practicing, so no one knocked on the door.

By the time he quit practicing, the surrounding environment was completely dark.

Got out of bed.

Shen Changqing lit the oil lamp in the bedroom, which immediately dispersed a lot of darkness.

But I don't know why.

When the light dispelled the darkness, an uncomfortable feeling arose in my heart.

That feeling.

Shen Changqing frowned instinctively.

"what happened?"

He felt something was not right about this inexplicable whim, but what was wrong, he immediately said it.

"It is said that the deeper the warrior's cultivation, the more accurate his or her senses will be."

"I am now innate. If something bad happens, it may not necessarily be true that I can sense it."

Thinking of this, Shen Changqing suddenly became vigilant.

It’s impossible not to be vigilant.

At present, the situation in Lin'an City seems to be quite stable on the surface, but there is an undercurrent surging behind the scenes, and it might break out at some point.

Especially today, when the Zhao family members were taken into custody during the day, there was quite a commotion——

"etc!"

"Zhao family!"

Thinking of the Zhao family, Shen Changqing's expression changed slightly.

Could it be——

Someone really came to rob the prison!

With this idea, he immediately walked out of the house. The full moon was now hanging in the sky, and he was not as invisible as usual.

Especially in the inner hall of the Yamen.

Most places have stone lanterns, which will be lit by government officials at night, unlike other places where everything is dark.

But despite this, he couldn't calm down in his heart.

"Somebody come!"

Shen Changqing shouted loudly.

It didn't take long.

A government servant came over in a hurry.

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Are all the Zhao family members imprisoned in cells?"

"Everyone has been taken into custody during the day."

"Are there any unusual phenomena in the cells and the yamen?"

"——Not found yet!"
