Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

Although Lin Feng's handwriting is not particularly elegant, it exudes a natural and unrestrained boldness.

Madam Lu immediately clapped her hands and cheered, her eyes full of approval.

"I never expected that the young man would not only have such good luck, but also write such elegant and dignified characters."

After saying that, she reached out and took the brush from Lin Feng's palm. Her soft, slender fingertips brushed against his palm intentionally or unintentionally, with a hint of teasing.

"Young master, you've achieved the highest honors in all three imperial examinations. What are your plans regarding these three raw stones?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Madam Lu is an expert; could you perhaps offer me some guidance?"

Lu Niangzi chuckled softly, leaning closer to Lin Feng, her soft, boneless hand gently taking his arm, her eyes filled with seductive allure.

"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance, but I know several skilled craftsmen on the black market whose craftsmanship is superb and whose prices are fair."

"If you, young master, wish to have jadeite stones crafted into jewelry, I can act as your matchmaker."

"If you have no intention of crafting them, you can sell all three rough stones to our jade gambling workshop."

She leaned closer and closer, and her small hand, which was holding Lin Feng's arm, tightened its grip slightly without his noticing.

Her fingertips gently massaged his arm, her proud, soft breasts brushing against his arm almost imperceptibly; the tender touch was enough to make one's heart flutter.

On the other side, Wan Qian was busy splitting the winnings with two other people who had also won money, and he was all smiles as he worked.

Those spectators who had lost money were already feeling frustrated, and seeing Lin Feng's unparalleled success, they couldn't stand him and started nitpicking.

"Hey Madam Lu, why were you so close to that boy? You were just lucky!"

"Exactly! He's hiding his face and acting suspiciously; he's definitely an ugly freak! Madam Lu, I'm a hundred times more handsome than him!"

"You all have a point. It's just money, isn't it? Who comes to this jade gambling den short of cash? I'll offer five hundred taels of silver. Would Madam Lu be willing to spend the night with me?"

Taunting and mocking remarks rose and fell.

Madam Lu took a deep breath, pressed herself against Lin Feng, then turned to glare at the crowd of onlookers. Her eyebrows furrowed, and she snapped, "Get out! All of you, get out of here! I can stick to whomever I want, what right do you have to interfere?"

"Those willing to gamble on stones can stay, and those who just want to watch are welcome to do so as well, but if..."

A sharp throwing knife had appeared in her hand without her noticing; she twirled the blade between her fingers, her eyes as cold as ice.

"Anyone who dares to swear again, I'll castrate them! Try me if you dare!"

Everyone instinctively took two steps back, and the man who had just made the lewd remarks hurriedly covered his crotch and dared not utter another word.

Everyone knows that although Madam Lu is a delicate beauty, her throwing knife skills are extremely ruthless.

In her early years, some foolish people took advantage of her bad mood to cause trouble, and she immediately crippled their manhood with a knife. Since then, no one has dared to provoke her easily.

After shooing away the onlookers, when Madam Lu turned back to Lin Feng, her expression softened instantly, and her tone returned to its gentle and sweet manner.

"Young master, ignore them. Tell me, what do you intend to do with these raw stones?"

Lin Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I would like to trouble Madam Lu to take one of the jade stones and have it crafted into two jade bracelets and two jade hairpins. Would that be acceptable?"

Madam Lu glanced at the three rough stones, made a quick estimate, and nodded: "No problem! What do you plan to do with the remaining jadeite and jade stone, young master?"

Lin Feng curled his lips into a smile and said, "How much are you willing to offer to sell it to Madam Lu?"

Lady Lu's beautiful eyes sparkled as she softly said, "The quality of your jadeite is worth at most 1,500 taels on the market, so I'll just charge you 1,500 taels."

"That piece of jade is a bit pricey, so I'll give you two thousand taels, making it a total of three thousand five hundred taels."

"As for the cost of crafting the jewelry, it would normally be one hundred taels, but I'll waive it along with the cost of the two rough stones you just opened."

"Finally, I'll give you three thousand four hundred taels, paid in silver notes from the Jiangnan Money Shop. How about that?"

Jiangnan money shops were widespread throughout the north and south of the Great Qian Dynasty. They were very powerful, and their silver notes could be exchanged smoothly anywhere, which was extremely convenient.

Lin Feng smiled broadly upon hearing this: "Madam Lu is indeed straightforward, thank you very much!"

Lu Niangzi reluctantly released Lin Feng's arm and instructed Mr. Chen to prepare the silver notes.

When a stack of brand-new banknotes was handed to Lin Feng, the eyes of the onlookers instantly turned red.

Three thousand four hundred taels of silver!

When Lin Feng came in, he had nothing in his hands, but in the blink of an eye, he had amassed a huge sum of money, enough for an ordinary family to live frugally for a lifetime.

"Young master, please keep the silver notes safe. Mr. Chen will lead you out of the gambling stone shop through the back door later."

Lady Lu instructed, "Once the jewelry is finished, you can send someone to pick it up in ten days, or leave an address and I will send someone to deliver it to you."

Lin Feng bowed in thanks, appreciating her thoughtfulness: "Thank you, Madam Lu. I will send someone to collect it in ten days."

He turned and called to Wan Qian, "Brother Wan, let's go!"

Lin Feng, carrying a heart full of joy, left gracefully, his departing figure drawing envy from everyone around him.

That night, both Raymond Lam and Wan Chien truly became "rich overnight".

Mr. Chen led the two to the back door of the gambling stone market, and then had the guards of the gambling stone market choose a secluded path to send them out of the black market.

Lin Feng then realized that there was more than one entrance to the black market.

Walking through the dark and secluded alley, Wan Qian clutched the bulging money pouch at his waist, so excited he almost jumped up.

"Big brother, you're amazing!"

"I won over three hundred taels of silver in that gambling game tonight! Over three hundred taels! I'm really rich now!"

Lin Feng smiled faintly and instructed, "You better keep your mouth shut. Don't let anyone know anything about tonight's events, or you'll get yourself into trouble."

"I understand, I understand!"

Wan Qian nodded repeatedly, patting his chest and promising, "Brother, from now on, if you say go east, I'll never go west. I, Wan Qian, will follow you for life!"

Wan Qian still couldn't understand why Lin Feng was able to win all three awards in a row.

They simply assumed it was because he was incredibly lucky and had the protection of the God of Literature.

Such a person with extraordinary experiences is bound to have an extraordinary future!

If we don't cling to a powerful figure now, when will we ever get another chance?

Lin Feng chuckled, tilting his head back, and teased, "Are you planning to stick around with me?"

"Alright, from now on, if I have a bite of meat to eat, you'll have a sip of soup to drink!"

The two walked briskly, their figures gradually disappearing at the end of the alley.

When Mr. Chen returned to the gambling stone shop, he could no longer see Madam Lu on the first floor, so he quietly went up to the second floor.

Behind the screen on the second floor, Madam Lu was slowly sipping fine wine from a white jade cup.

"Master, I have safely escorted him out of the black market."

Mr. Chen quietly reported, "Should we send someone to keep an eye on him secretly? That kid is really acting strangely."

Madam Lu smiled gently, her tone carrying a hint of certainty: "Of course something's not right. In all the years we've worked together, have we ever seen anyone who could pass all three levels of the imperial examinations? Either his luck is incredibly extraordinary, or he possesses a secret method for identifying raw stones."

Mr. Chen nodded slightly: "Then I will send someone to keep an eye on it..."

"No need!"

Lady Lu interrupted him, lightly tapping the rim of her cup with her fingertips, and said slowly, "His hands are covered with thick calluses, he is strong and robust, and his arms are powerful and strong. He is no ordinary person."

"Moreover, there was a faint smell of blood lingering on him. I guess this person must be from the military, and most likely a master archer."

Her earlier physical contact with Raymond Lam was not due to her inherently promiscuous nature, but rather a way for her to uncover his true nature through physical touch.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen frowned slightly: "Military personnel coming to the black market? Could it be... that Zhang Liao has already discovered something?"

Madam Lu scoffed, her tone laced with disdain: "Zhang Liao, that warrior, doesn't have that kind of cunning. If he really sensed something was wrong, he would have sent troops in long ago. Why would he be so patient?"

She paused, then said, "Our Green Snake Society's plan is imminent, so there's no need to send anyone to keep an eye on that kid for now, lest something unexpected happens. When the opportunity arises, I'll personally investigate him."

Mr. Chen suddenly realized what was going on and bowed to report: "Master, news has come from the Wang family that Wang Qian spent a lot of money to hire a large number of local ruffians and scoundrels to cover up the incident that night."

"According to his confidants, Wang Qian employed at least two hundred people, plus his close associates in the government, totaling more than two hundred and fifty people."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lu chuckled, but a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"Heh! I didn't expect Wang Qian to take this matter so seriously."

"That's good. The more he cares, the worse the Wang family's fate will be."

At this moment, Wang Qian, who was living in seclusion in the palace, was unaware that he had already become a pawn in the hands of the Green Snake Society, leading the entire Wang family step by step into an abyss of no return...
