Chapter 217 Your vision is too narrow.
This is simply a divine medicine tailor-made for someone like Yang Dali!
Madam Li glanced at him and said indifferently.
"Getting one isn't hard, but this medicine isn't cheap."
"Money is not an issue!"
Shen Yulou waved his big hand, not at all pained by the money.
"Don't look at the price, look at the efficacy.
The medicinal effect must be good.
Make sure there's no antidote, and without an antidote, it's more painful than death!"
"No problem."
Madam Li nodded, "I can get it for you tonight."
They spoke without any reservation, not avoiding him at all.
Yang Dali heard everything clearly.
He was completely dumbfounded, his face instantly turning into a bitter gourd, uglier than if his father had died.
He didn't disbelieve anything; he understood the value of being number one on the fengyun ranking.
As a doctor, he knew better than anyone.
Regularly taking an antidote was not only physical torture but also mental torment!
He thought of the Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill from The Deer and the Cauldron; wouldn't he become Shen Yulou's dog from now on?
His life would be ruined!
This world, damn it, has martial arts!
These were things that modern science couldn't explain.
With his knowledge, he absolutely couldn't cure the poison Madam Li spoke of.
In the future, he would probably live like a eunuch, his life sustained by an antidote!
Thinking of this, Yang Dali wanted to cry but had no tears.
But now, what room did he have to resist?
Shen Yulou squatted down and patted his pale face.
"From now on, don't talk nonsense, understand?"
Yang Dali shivered all over and nodded frantically like a chick pecking rice.
The secret of the transmigrators, no one could tell; only the two of them knew, heaven and earth knew.
If he dared to reveal half a word to a third person, Shen Yulou would definitely make him experience what true suffering worse than death was without hesitation.
They were both doctors; they knew how to torment people most cruelly.
He originally thought he wasn't afraid of death, thinking it would be good to die and go back.
But when death truly came before him.
Only then did he know what that bone-deep fear felt like.
Living, even if living like a dog, was better than dying.
Shen Yulou looked at Yang Dali, who had already lost his fighting spirit, and pondered how to wring out his last drop of value.
If this person became useless, he would eventually be killed.
But the question was, since he wasn't the only transmigrator, would there be others besides Yang Dali?
Shen Yulou even suspected that this was the world of The Truman Show.
They were being watched like a play by a group of big figures.
However, the martial arts he learned were genuine, and killing was also real.
Shen Yulou couldn't figure out these questions for a while.
First, he needed to control Yang Dali.
The poison Sister-in-law got must be genuine; once Yang Dali took it, he naturally wouldn't dare to resist.
He kicked Yang Dali's face with his toe and asked.
"How much wealth does County Magistrate Liu actually have? Give me the honest truth."
Yang Dali now dared not hide anything, saying with a mournful face.
"Lord Shen... Lord Shen, in Liu Wenxuan's treasury, there are at least a million taels of silver!
I gave him so many ideas, from sanitation to epidemic prevention, making Anyuan County like an iron barrel. The taxes he took advantage of to add, and the protection fees he collected from merchants, those are astronomical figures!"
Shen Yulou was a little curious.
"How can he do this without the common people having any complaints? No one caused trouble?"
"Yes! Why wouldn't there be!"
When Yang Dali mentioned this, his voice trembled slightly.
"At first, there were many troublemakers who were unconvinced, thinking he was hypocritical, and wanted to unite to appeal to the emperor.
What was the result?
Within a few days, the families of those who led the charge, old and young, vanished overnight, not even a corpse could be found!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yulou's eyebrows slightly raised.
"A mere county magistrate, with such great ability? Even if he's a local emperor, he couldn't do this for so long without anyone noticing, could he?"
"He certainly doesn't have that ability himself!"
Yang Dali lowered his voice, his face full of fear.
"He's colluded with a general on the border of Yan State!
Every time there's someone disobedient here, that Yan State general sends a troop of cavalry, disguised as bandits, to come overnight and kill everyone!
So... so now the remaining people in this county are all frightened, easily fooled commoners!
The disobedient ones have long since died out!"
"What?!"
Madam Li, who was beside him, heard this and an angry expression instantly appeared on her cold face.
"Bastard!"
"Colluding with foreign enemies, harming the people! Such a corrupt official is simply a national traitor! He deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces!"
Sister-in-law's sense of justice exploded, while Shen Yulou's reaction was completely different.
Not only was he not angry, but his eyes lit up, and he became a little excited.
National traitor?
No!
How is this a national traitor? This is a God of Wealth!
A million taels of silver, isn't this faster than slowly squeezing it out of the dog emperor?
He did so many things for the dog emperor and was only rewarded with a hundred thousand taels; this small county magistrate actually embezzled so much.
If this were put in the name of the people, it could be a three-episode special at least.
Shen Yulou was overjoyed in his heart, but his face showed an expression of righteous indignation, and he slapped his thigh.
"Let's go! Sister-in-law is right, what use is such a national traitor! Let's go kill him now!"
"No, Lord Shen!"
Yang Dali quickly hugged his leg, shaking his head desperately.
"That grandson Liu Wenxuan is very cunning!
Not only does he have high prestige among the common people, but he also has three thousand elite soldiers, all raised with the money he embezzled, and they are fiercely loyal to him!
There are only a few of us; isn't charging in just suicide?"
Shen Yulou kicked him away. With Sister-in-law present, assassinating him wouldn't be a problem.
However, three thousand elite soldiers were indeed a bit troublesome.
Moreover, after killing Liu Wenxuan, transporting a million taels of silver out of the city would also not be easy.
This area was already close to the border, and there were no reliable banks to exchange for silver notes.
It was safest to carry the silver directly.
"How exactly does he trade with that Yan State general?"
"Iron ore!"
Yang Dali dared not delay and quickly said.
"An open-pit iron mine was discovered in Wolong Mountain behind this county!
The quality is extremely high!
Liu Wenxuan uses this mine to exchange for warhorses and weapons with Yan State. He wants to gather troops on this border, establish himself, and carve out his own territory!
His ambition is huge!
According to the agreement, in two days, the Yan State general will send people to hand over the first batch of warhorses and equipment, and officially take over the mining of the iron ore."
Good heavens!
After listening, Shen Yulou's interest grew even stronger.
This was simply a delivery that came to his door, a SF Express package with free shipping, the kind where the postage had already been paid.
Yang Dali saw his eyes gleaming and thought he had a good idea, so he quickly leaned in and suggested.
"Professor Shen, how about we expose the location of his treasury and let the common people go and loot it?
Once his popular support collapses, there will definitely be chaos!
We can take the opportunity to get those warhorses and equipment, and leave the iron mine to the Yan people, letting them fight among themselves?"
"Heh." Shen Yulou sneered disdainfully, looking at Yang Dali as if he were an unworldly bumpkin.
"Your scope is too small, brother."
Shen Yulou extended both hands and grabbed something.
"Only children make choices; I want it all
