Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!
Chapter 1060 - 564: The Taoist Priest's Finance, All are Elders, True Technique Advances Again! _2

Yi Chen glanced at the black mark on his chest, and couldn't help sighing lightly towards the candlelight, yet his face did not show much worry.

Because he was not Yi Lifang, but rather, he was the Great Qin State Master Yi Chengzi!

His predecessor wasn't greatly flawed, only fond of extravagant pleasures, but that also stimulated Yang City's economy and allowed resources to circulate, proving his predecessor's goodness.

A person so kind shouldn't have ended up like this, and he, Yi Chengzi, would reclaim all his predecessor's money.

All this money belonged to Yi Chengzi himself, and in this process, even if he used some lower methods, it was justified, even his master Bai Yunzi could not point out any major flaw.

"In that case, let's first borrow money!"

"Start with a rotational mortgage, play with the time difference, after all, those uncles and elder relatives, and my father's business partners, have been coveting this mansion for a long time."

"As long as it's cheap enough, I'm not afraid these old Dengs won't burst out Gold Coins."

Although he currently has a bit of means for self-protection, Yi Chen still decided to use diplomacy first, and as soon as day breaks, he would sneak off to visit various uncles and elder relatives.

"No, go now!"

Yi Chen always felt that those bastards sharing his predecessor's wealth were just superficial issues, the real trouble seemed to originate from the Black Seal on him.

When sent into this world by the power of Star Well, he had felt a vast evil force brewing.

Now he just hoped that the Black Seal on his body was not connected to the evil force he felt upon entering, otherwise there would be serious troubles.

Today, it seems no one in Yang City suspects that the Yi Family massacre was the work of malevolence, as Yang City had been peaceful for decades, and they all believed it was done by a roving powerhouse.

With a flash in his eyes, Yi Chen first went to the kitchen and then returned to his study to tinker around, before sneaking out of the main door.

----

Yang City, Landlord Li's mansion.

"Dear nephew, why have you come to visit early in the morning? The payment issues between your father and me have been settled, if you're here to ask for money from Uncle Li, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed today."

With half-closed eyes, the wealthy old man sitting in the main seat, Landlord Li, had a teasing look in his eyes. If he had not gotten up early due to old age, he wouldn't have been inclined to meet this prodigal in front of him.

"Uncle Li, my dear Uncle Li, how could I possibly come to ask you for payment, dear uncle. This time I am actually here to seek help from you, Uncle Li."

"Oh? The sun shines brightly, and His Majesty is a wise ruler, who wants to kill my dear nephew?" Hearing that Yi Chen was not there to endlessly pester for payment, Landlord Li's murky eyes couldn't help but flash a look of surprise, admitting that he was somewhat intrigued by Yi Chen's words.

"Ah, before my father passed away, he would often talk about various uncles and elders, saying only Uncle Li, you are magnanimous, having the best relationship with my father. If anything goes wrong in the future, seeking you out would certainly be right."

"Uncle Li, frankly, this time, it's my uncle's family who wants to kill me, planning to rob and endanger my life. I trusted them so much, and if it weren't for overhearing my drunken cousin, I would still be kept in the dark."

Feigning sincerity, Yi Chen squeezed out a few crocodile tears, fully utilizing his skills as an actor.

As they say, small temples attract big gales, shallow ponds gather many Wang Ba, and the small Yang City naturally squeezed a pond full of Wang Ba!

With the fall of the Yi Family, everyone pounced like predators, fast to share the spoils as if with great tacit understanding; those who could cheat cheated, those who could gobble up the market share of Yi Family gobbled, overall, everyone got a piece, highlighting a uniform distribution of dew.

And his uncle's family, as an arrest officer in the Government, managed to keep for him two street-front shops and the most valuable mansion.

The question is, did his uncle's family have that capability?

As they say, wearing cotton pants under leather trousers always has a reason; Yi Chen keenly sensed that his uncle's family was probably nothing more than other people's puppets.

The value of those two street-front shops was less than one-tenth of the Yi Family's grand mansion. Probably his uncle's family struggled with the dirty work, and in the end, receiving two Red Jade Coins would be quite generous from the powerful backer behind them.

Indeed, a mix of seventy percent true and thirty percent false information immediately made Landlord Li's expression slightly change; his expression grew solemn, and he immediately said gravely:

"My dear nephew, how do you want me to help you? What exactly do you know?"

"Uncle Li, whatever you know, I also know, uncle has someone behind him, but with Uncle Li's family having been so influential in Yang City for so many years, directly connected to the Prefecture City's elite, ordinary strongmen would definitely not dare to touch your family."

"Thus, rather than letting others benefit, why not mortgage the mansion to you, Uncle Li? I've already prepared the transfer documents, in just three days, as long as Uncle Li gives me six Red Jade Coins, this mansion worth at least fifteen Red Jade Coins will be yours," Yi Chen continued his textbook-level acting, saying gravely.

"My dear nephew, it seems I have underestimated you in the past."

"Yi Lifang, you are not like the others, I actually misjudged you before, but why do the transfer documents need to be dated three days later, not today?" Landlord Li's eyes turned cold as he said gravely.

"Because another close friend of my father, a high-level cultivator, owes my father a huge favor, I have already contacted that senior through other channels, and in just three days, that senior will come to Yang City to meet me."
