Get out of Chapter 6!
Why did I suddenly have this strange feeling?
Ning Chong thought carefully and vaguely recalled that he seemed to have been hit on the head by a golden brick last night, but he was drunk yesterday and couldn't remember very clearly.
Since I can't remember it clearly, I won't think about it too much. Anyway, from a practical point of view, this strange feeling is beneficial and harmless!
Gudong!
His stomach growled with hunger, Ning Chong was taken aback, only to realize that his belly had shrunk. He looked up and saw the sun had already set in the west, it was already afternoon, he suddenly realized that he had been cultivating for more than half a day without eating or drinking anything.
Under the pangs of hunger, his strength had weakened considerably. Ning Chong thus put aside the idea of continuing to cultivate and walked back through the forest, down the mountain road, and along the winding path down the back of the mountain.
Returning to the Rain Bamboo Temple, Qi Bo was not there. Ning Chong let an old servant bring some simple food such as steamed buns and had a big meal after that, filling his stomach.
Ning Chong saw that the sky was still early, so he decided to take advantage of the darkness before nightfall and practice on Heartbreak Cliff again. After a brief rest, he got up again.
Just as they were approaching the gate of the courtyard, it was suddenly pushed open and Qi Bo and another middle-aged servant, Zhang Kai, walked in.
Zi Bo didn't expect to run into Ning Chong at the door, and was taken aback for a moment, only shouting out: "Young Master..." Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly tried to cover it up, but it was already too late.
"What's going on here, Ziber?"
Ning Chong stared at the clear purple-black handprint on Qi Bo's left cheek, and suddenly felt a surge of anger rush to his head, his brain buzzing with rage.
"Ah... young master, it's just old servant being careless and tripped over himself..."
Zibei hastily made an explanation, but people with discerning eyes could all see that he was telling a lie to cover it up.
Ning Chong's anger was burning, and he looked at Zhang Kai behind Qi Bo and said: "Zhang Kai, you speak!"
Zhang Kai had already been unable to hold back his indignation, and if it weren't for Qi Bo's repeated orders, he would have spoken the truth long ago. At this time, upon hearing Ning Chong's command, Zhang Kai could no longer hold back, and with indignation said: "Young Master, it was all done by Wang Heizi from the accounting room!"
"All these years, Wang Heizi has been embezzling our monthly allowance of fifty taels of silver from the Rain Bamboo Courtyard. Originally, we should have received fifty taels every month, but that black-hearted Wang Heizi always deducted twenty taels."
"This matter, the old steward has always instructed us to be patient. Originally, it's been several years now, and being patient would have been enough, but this month, that Wang Heizi was really too excessive! He actually deducted 40 taels at once, leaving only 10 taels for the Rain Bamboo Courtyard! With this little silver, our Rain Bamboo Courtyard with seven or eight people can't even afford to eat plain rice!"
"The old steward couldn't bear it anymore, so he went to the accounting room with me to reason with Wang Heizi. As soon as they spoke a few words in a good tone, that rascal Wang Heizi struck out and slapped the old steward hard on the ear... Afterwards, I supported the old steward back, just as we ran into Young Master..."
Opening his mouth and teeth was still sharp, in one breath he said the facts clearly.
His ears were ringing, and the anger in his chest was rising higher and higher, causing his whole body to tremble slightly.
It turned out that all along, it wasn't just himself who was being bullied, but also Qi Bo and others were being humiliated. However, Qi Bo was worried about his own impulsiveness, so he had been covering up all sorts of grievances, pretending everything was fine, without letting anyone know.
Let me be, but Qi Bo, this old man who is like a grandfather to me, with hair as white as snow, you still want to bully him? Are you guys even human?!
Crack!
With a loud crack of his knuckles, Ning Chong flung down a sentence: "Zhang Kai, take care of Qi Bo." With rage in his eyes, he strode out of the yard.
"Master! Master! Don't go......"
Zi Bo panicked and hastily chased after him for several steps, but how could he keep up with Ning Chong's pace?
"Alas... You've done a great job, you scoundrel! Don't you know that Wang Heizi is a martial artist of the first rank, late stage? Young Master has only just cultivated some internal yuan energy and hasn't even reached the first rank of martial arts. What if he gets beaten up by Wang Heizi? What should we do?"
Zi Bo saw that he couldn't stop it, shook his head and sighed, and scolded Zhang Kai who followed up. Zhang Kai realized that he had been impulsive for a moment, and couldn't help but lower his head, and in his heart, he was also extremely worried.
……
"Miss Ningji, rest assured that the monthly silver allowance for your esteemed institution will never be less than 500 taels, and the elixirs will also increase by one grade!"
In the courtyard of the accounting house, Wang Heizi followed a lovely young girl in an apricot-colored dress with a flattering smile on his face, fawning like a hound dog.
Don't joke, this 12 or 13-year-old little girl is a well-known child prodigy in the family, with talent and aptitude that ranks among the best in the entire family! With such a young ancestor, Wang Heizi tries to please her but doesn't dare offend her in the slightest.
Quietly and quickly walking, she instructed: "Good... Wang Gui, you remember, and also the Seven Leaf Lingzhi, you find it as soon as possible, Miss has an urgent need."
"Don't worry, Miss Ning, I, Wang Gui, will definitely find him as soon as possible and send him to your esteemed institution!"
Wang Heizi made a guarantee with utmost sincerity, and if not for the fact that actions like pounding his chest were too crude and unbecoming in a large family gathering, he would have pounded his chest until it echoed through the mountains.
Bang!
A loud crash, the wooden door of the account house was kicked open, a furious white-robed youth rushed into the yard, shouting: "Wang Heizi, get out here!"
As soon as he heard the name "Wang Heizi", Wang Heizi's face suddenly fell. This "Wang Heizi" was his nickname, because he had dark skin and a pockmarked face.
Wang Heizi actually knew he was a bad person and often bullied others, so privately, some of the lower-ranking servants would call him "Wang Heizi" behind his back. However, although he knew this, Wang Heizi wouldn't want others to call him that to his face, and with his power, no one dared to do so either.
Now, when someone shouted this nickname in his face, Wang Heizi's complexion naturally didn't look good. Of course, if the person shouting was a young master or miss from his family, he had no choice but to endure it silently.
But turning his head, Wang Heizi was stunned at first, and then recognized Ning Chong. Suddenly, he sneered continuously, and his heart was filled with anger and shame - this family's renowned waste actually dared to kick open the door of the accounting house, rushing in and shouting loudly, it's really going against heaven!
On the other hand, Ning Jing stuck out her tongue and was also slightly surprised as she watched Ning Chong storm over in a rage.
Ning Chong is a super martial arts waste, and he is also a well-known figure in the family. Although she is a talented girl in the family and has almost no intersection with Ning Chong, she knows Ning Chong and thinks of him as her cousin.
According to her understanding and the stories she had heard, although Ning Chong was stubborn and strong-willed by nature, he was usually quiet and calm. If not for his notorious reputation as a waste, it's likely that everyone in the family would have completely ignored him.
She naturally wondered why Ning Chong was so furious now and rushed into the accounting room.
