Chapter 63 I was tricked by a villain? How come I didn't know

Because of Shi Jian's arrival, Tan Wenjie temporarily changed his training plan, put the "Maoshan Health Fist" and "Sword Finger" aside, and concentrated on practicing palm thunder.

The skills are excellent but it is hard to find a good teacher. The whole spiritual world says that thunder skills are practiced. Shi Jian said that if he is second, no one would dare to say that he is the best, so he just practices hard and catches his nephew Ajian alone.

Shi Jian was a person who cared a lot about face. He gave enough pomp and ceremony, said enough nice things, and with the help of his second uncle, he was also willing to guide Tan Wenjie in practicing thunder magic.

People become "confused" when they get old. The second uncle knew that he didn't have much time left in the world of the living, so he was just "confused" enough when he asked Shi Jian to teach his disciples. Occasionally, he would take advantage of his seniority and age, which happened to be very effective for Shi Jian, who attached great importance to superficial rules.

Under Shi Jian's guidance, Tan Wenjie's palm thunder improved rapidly and finally reached level 2, almost reaching full experience, but he was just one step away from improving no matter how hard he practiced. When he asked Shi Jian about it, he just said it was normal.

Some people may spend their entire lives practicing palm thunder but may not gain anything. How could Tan Wenjie make such great progress in just two or three days?

As for Tan Wenjie's talent, Shi Jian was just a little surprised but didn't care, because his own talent was stronger. There were countless people in the entire spiritual world who could make palm thunder, but none of them could rub lightning with their hands like him.

After practicing for a while and making sure there was no further improvement, Tan Wenjie chose to manually gain experience and force improvement. This was the true use of experience, and there was no longer a bottleneck in practice.

[After continuous learning, you have gained enlightenment. The level of 'Palm Thunder' is +1, and the current level is lv3]

技能：掌心雷lv3（1/1250），消耗法力：4，消耗生命：2
I didn't expect that palm thunder is different from fire control, level 2 is not the limit.

The consumption of mana and life was greater. As for the power, he swung his hand and created a palm thunder, which not only smashed a big hole in the wall in front of him for practice with a bang, but when he looked closer, he could actually see some burn marks, and his fingers could feel a slight burning sensation when they touched it.

"This power is so strong that it can not only kill ghosts, but even kill people by slapping their heads into pulp." The full-power output is extraordinary.

I found some disinfectant alcohol and wiped the bitten finger. Although it was powerful enough, it was unhygienic to bite my finger every time I cast a spell. It was also too painful to bite my finger, and I wouldn't be able to see all ten fingers intact all day.

……

Without a master advisor by his side, Tan Wenjie has to be busy every now and then. If the boss doesn't keep a close eye on things, his subordinates will cheat and act slyly.

He has just finished checking the accounts of a shop.

There was nothing wrong on paper. Unlike his uncle Tan Meng, he chose to have guns in his own hands instead of colluding with the local gentry.

Although he still led everyone to make money, Tan Baiwan's family was large and powerful, and with the "gift" of property by the elders and gentry, his roots were deeper, involved in food, clothing, housing and transportation. Now the winery was still in operation and making a lot of money every day, while other elders and gentry could not make much money doing regular business.

Just like the teahouse business, it looks busy and has daily income, but how much money can they make from selling food? The little money they earn every day cannot satisfy their big appetite.

Even if he didn't inquire, Tan Wenjie knew that those elders and gentry must have secretly turned to the three major sectors of prostitution, gambling and drugs to make money. He was also worried that these bastards would set their sights on him again, so he would be on guard and give some rewards to the idle people in the town and ask them to pass on information from time to time.

Knowing that Boss Tan is the most generous in paying, even if there is no promise, those people will pay attention to all kinds of gossip related to the Tan family. If any of the information is useful, it can be exchanged for money.

Tan Wenjie can only be regarded as a big boss in business. No matter how the money of the villages and towns circulates, it will pass through his hands.

Those elders and gentry are the real local emperors whose words are law. Every year, countless people are killed privately by being thrown into pig cages, hanged, beaten to death, etc. Their words can determine the life and death of someone in the clan.

Is it the law for a clan to conceal the truth about one's relatives? The gentry and elders are the law. If Tan Wenjie didn't have a gun, he would have been executed on the spot.

"Hua Lajiu? What's the matter? Do you want to talk to me about something?" As Tan Wenjie walked out of the shop, he saw Hua Lajiu coming towards him. He knew that he must have something to say.

"Boss Tan." Hua Laojiu bowed to Tan Wenjie, "Is that Young Master Shi a distinguished guest in your house?"

"Master Shi?" Tan Wenjie paused. "What happened to him?"

He knew that Shi Shaojian was fooling around outside, and that when Shi Jian was around, she couldn't help but go to the brothel. Later, when Shi Jian was with him all day, Shi Shaojian had already become free enough to take off.

At first he was worried that the other party would use magic to harm people, but after having someone follow him for a while, he found out that Shi Shaojian just spent money to have fun every day, so he didn't care anymore. It only cost a few dollars to visit a brothel.

His father didn't care, so why should Tan Wenjie worry about it? So he always found excuses to give Shi Jian money. He didn't care about the few dozen dollars, he just regarded it as the fee for hiring Shi Jian as a skill instructor. As for whether Shi Shaojian used the money for prostitution, it didn't matter at all.

"Something happened!" Hua Laojiu lowered his voice, "Just now when I passed by the Yunyan Cigarette House, I heard that Master Shi owed 8,000 yuan. The other party only gave him one day to raise the money, and he will go to the authorities tomorrow."

Eight thousand? Tan Wenjie's eyelids jumped.

How many days has Shi Shaojian been here? Before this, the father and son probably didn't even have 50 dollars in their hands. Unexpectedly, in just a few days, Shi Shaojian dared to spend so lavishly. He was really born to be a bad boy.

Hua Laojiu knew that Shi Shaojian was a distinguished guest of the Tan Mansion, so how could Yunyanyanguan not know? The other party was not coming for Shi Shaojian, but for him.

Tan Wenjie waved towards the shop, and the shopkeeper immediately responded and took out money to reward Hua Laojiu.

"Thank you, Mr. Tan. I wish you a prosperous business and lots of money!" After saying these auspicious words, Hua Laojiu left happily.

If Shi Shaojian was detained, it would not be Shi Jian's face that was hit, but his own face. Eight thousand yuan was not much, he could afford it, but he could not pay it, otherwise if Shi Shaojian was set up today, Jin Shaojian tomorrow, Huo Shaojian the day after tomorrow, anyone could come to extort money, wouldn't Boss Tan become a charity owner?

"I still have to meet this group of gentry." Tan Wenjie looked up at the sky. It was a clear day.

"Go to the police station!" Tan Wenjie gave the order as he got on the carriage, then waved to a trusted servant and asked him to get on the carriage to talk.

"Master?" The other party waited obediently for orders.

"Go to the provincial capital and deliver a message saying that the location of the opium smugglers has been determined and they are about to be arrested. Wait, I have a letter to deliver to Marshal Long's home. Please give it to Miss Nianying for me. Ask someone who can ride a horse to deliver the letter. Three good horses will be rotated to ride. It must be delivered today."

He originally didn't want to add a layer of insurance, but then he thought, what if the gentry also have guns? What if that group of people are really not afraid of death and want to die together, and would rather use their chests to block the bullets than cut Mr. Tan with a knife? What if a real hero emerges from that group of idiots... So, to be safe, he has to treat them with the mentality of suppressing bandits.

This is to shoot the arrow first and then draw the target.

Others don't know, but Tan Wenjie has seen the movie and remembers it very clearly. Mayor Ye has been doing business with a smuggler who disguises himself as a corpse driver.

During this period, he set up posts and checkpoints to search for opium. As long as anyone driving corpses appeared, they had to notify him immediately. Once the corpse-driving and drug-smuggling people were caught, the matter would be settled.

This arrow is sure to hit the target.

……

"Eight thousand?!" Shi Jian frowned and looked at his son kneeling on the ground, feeling extremely angry.

Shi Jian looked down on Tan Wenjie because he was money-minded and always asked for money. But that didn't mean Shi Jian didn't understand the value of money. He only charged 10 yuan for each feng shui reading.

At least 800 Feng Shuis have to be examined. Even if there is no need to rush and there are Feng Shuis to be examined every day, it would take two and a half years to examine one Feng Shui every day.

He can't take out the money.

Looking at the creditor's name on the paper, Shi Jian's face became even uglier.

In recent days, he had been with Tan Wenjie and of course had heard the names of those elders and gentry. Each of them was a well-known figure. If this were to be made public, he would lose all face as the eldest senior brother of Maoshan.

"Dad, Tan Baiwan is so rich, why don't you just borrow eight thousand dollars from him?"

"It's easy to borrow, but how can I pay it back?!"

Shi Shaojian said, "That's easy. You teach him the magic. Doesn't he want it? He can't learn it anyway. I have a father, but even if you teach me step by step, I still can't learn it, let alone him."

"Use a secret method to help you pay off your debt? How can I save my face if I tell anyone about this?" Shi Jian's beard fluttered in the wind, he was really angry.

His own disciple owed eight thousand oceans due to eating, drinking, gambling and whoring, and he had no choice but to sell his secret technique to pay off the debt. If the news spread to the spiritual world, he would be accused of being a "bad disciple", and would lose all face.

For Shi Jian, eating and drinking are not important, and he does not care about anything else. The only thing he cannot do is to lose face. He must always maintain the appearance of the eldest senior brother of Maoshan.

Shi Shaojian didn't dare to speak anymore.

Just then, footsteps were heard outside. Shi Jian gave a wink and Shi Shaojian immediately stood up. He also returned to his expressionless face, and his flying beard drooped down.

The visitor didn't notice anything, he just lowered his head and said quickly: "Master Shi, our master said that he already knows about Master Xiao Shi's affairs, and knows that Master Xiao Shi was framed by a villain. Please wait in the mansion. In two or three days at the latest, Master Xiao Shi will be cleared of all charges."

Shi Shaojian was puzzled. Innocence? What innocence?

I was framed by a villain? How come I didn't know?

I had a lot of fun, and the gambling, opium, and one person booking more than 20 girls from the Phoenix Tower all had clearly marked prices, it's just that the interest rate was a little higher when I borrowed the money. No one threatened me, and even when I took the money, he mentioned Tan Baiwan several times, asking me not to be too impulsive.

It would have been fine if Tan Baiwan had not been mentioned. As soon as Tan Baiwan was mentioned, Shi Shaojian remembered the day when the other party offered 5000 oceans to buy the secret method.

Even though he had never used secret techniques like the Lightning Thunder Fist to pay off his debts, Shi Shaojian subconsciously believed that his father's skills could be sold for a high price. His father had more than just the Lightning Thunder Fist, he also had another powerful technique called the Wood Stake Technique. The two combined were definitely worth ten thousand dollars.

The secret technique was not sold, and he knew that his biological father would never sell it. However, once the desire to be rich arose, it was difficult to suppress it. He always felt that he could not reach the end of the road, and always felt that he could rely on selling the secret technique to cover his own safety.

However, Shi Shaojian did not dare to speak at this time. In front of outsiders, he knew very well how severe the punishment from his own father was. His legs must be broken.

Shi Jian's expression relaxed slightly. Eight thousand dollars was a small amount, but preserving his reputation was a big deal. As long as he could get Shi Shaojian out of this matter, it would be fine.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle."
