Chapter 11

Time flies, and before he knew it, three days had passed.

Thanks to the publicity from the government office, the news of Ah Ji single-handedly killing four bandits spread throughout Jinling City.

As a result, the business at Zui Xian Lou was much better than usual.

Over these three days, Zui Xian Lou was always full, and Wang Ye made a fortune.

In the evening, Wang Ye was flipping through the accounts at the counter, and the corners of his mouth kept curling up.

In just three days, Zui Xian Lou had earned a full two hundred taels of silver.

This amount of silver was equivalent to eight times the usual income of Zui Xian Lou.

"Disaster can turn into fortune..."

Looking at the accounts, Wang Ye smiled to himself, "Although Ah Ji caused some trouble, the revenue over these two days has been really high!"

"Two hundred taels of silver!"

"If I deposit one hundred and fifty taels in the bank, I can earn five taels of silver in interest by the end of the year."

"The remaining fifty taels can be used to have some fun at Yi Hong Yuan!"

As he spoke, a lecherous look appeared on Wang Ye's face.

Smack!

Just as Wang Ye was lost in his lecherous thoughts, a sharp sound rang in his ear.

Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a fly swatter hitting beside him.

"Ah Ji!"

Seeing Ah Ji's gaze, Wang Ye frowned, "What are you doing, kid?"

"Swatting flies!"

As he spoke, Ah Ji raised the fly swatter in his hand, "Although it's autumn, there are still many flies. They keep buzzing around your ear, which is really annoying."

Saying this, Ah Ji's gaze focused on something behind Wang Ye, "Boss, don't move!"

"What are you...?"

Wang Ye opened his mouth to ask.

However, before he could finish his sentence, Ah Ji's fly swatter moved, slicing through the air and striking down forcefully.

Smack!

With a sharp sound, the fly swatter narrowly missed Wang Ye's body and hit the counter behind him.

"Ah, missed..."

After this strike, Ah Ji shook his head, full of regret.

At the same time, he began to look for flies around Wang Ye again.

What the hell!

Seeing Ah Ji's actions, Wang Ye took a deep breath.

This is clearly revenge!

The last time, he poured cold water on him while he was sleeping, and this time, he is swatting flies around him with a fly swatter.

If the fly swatter had been a few inches off just now, it would have hit him.

Ah Ji is a master-level expert; flies can't escape his grasp.

If Ah Ji didn't have the intention of revenge, that would be a miracle!

The most critical point is that with the excuse of swatting flies, Wang Ye couldn't say anything.

Smack!

Just as Wang Ye was thinking, Ah Ji once again swatted the fly swatter beside him.

"Ah Ji!"

Hearing the sharp sound, Wang Ye said, "Sweeping the floor may harm the ants, and caring for the moths can save their lives. Flies, though small, are also living beings. Let them go!"

"Go wash your hands and help Chen Chong in the kitchen!"

If Ah Ji continued, the fly swatter would eventually hit his face by "accident."

"Oh..."

Hearing this, Ah Ji responded, dropped the fly swatter, and walked towards the kitchen.

"Brat, you have the power of the Buddhist school but are so petty!"

Looking at Ah Ji's back, Wang Ye shook his head, "I wonder how this kid learned the Prajna Palm..."

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

Just as Wang Ye was thinking, a faint buzzing sound came from nearby.

"Are there really flies?"

Hearing this, Wang Ye's heart stirred, "Did I wrong Ah Ji?"

Buzz, buzz, buzz...

The buzzing sound was intermittent and extremely annoying.

Hearing this, Wang Ye focused and saw a fly dancing in front of the shop door.

Oh!

Seeing this, Wang Ye sighed.

Whether I wronged him or it was revenge,

You must die today!

Saying this, Wang Ye casually took a bamboo toothpick from the counter and shot it out with a flick of his hand.

Whoosh!

The bamboo toothpick shot out like a bolt of lightning, piercing the fly and nailing it to the wall outside the shop.

"Phew!"

After nailing the fly, Wang Ye exhaled, "Feeling better."

...

The next morning.

Wang Ye ignored Ah Ji's resentful gaze and headed straight to the Tian Bao Bank in the eastern part of the city with the earnings from the past few days.

Tian Bao Bank is the largest bank in Jinling City, where one can deposit and withdraw silver and goods, as well as pawn and mortgage items.

Depositing silver here also earns interest, which is very convenient.

Wang Ye came to the deposit counter and first took out the forty taels of silver he had received from Ah Ji.

"Hey, Boss Wang!"

Seeing Wang Ye take out the money, the clerk inside quickly greeted him, "Come to deposit more silver?"

"Of course, silver just sits and gathers dust, but here it earns interest."

Looking at the clerk, Wang Ye smiled.

"Alright, you have the right idea!"

While chatting with Wang Ye, the clerk quickly weighed the silver, "Forty taels of pure silver, not a bit off. It looks like snow silver!"

"Whose name should I deposit it under this time?"

"Ah Ji's!"

Hearing this, Wang Ye waved his hand and said calmly.

"Wow, Boss Wang, you are really generous."

The clerk of the bank said, "The last two times Ah Ji came to exchange silver for you, he said a lot of bad things about you, calling you a miser who often deducts his wages and is very unscrupulous..."

"He knows nothing!"

Hearing the clerk's words, Wang Ye said, "Ah Ji is just a kid, his head is full of mush. If I give him the silver, he'll be cheated out of it in three days."

"I'll deposit it for him first and deal with it later."

"Also, you can't say a word to him, got it?"

The world is full of all kinds of people. Ah Ji is a simple-minded kid, and who knows what might happen if I give him the money.

It's better to deposit it for him first, and if he leaves in the future, I'll give it to him then.

"Alright, you are truly well-intentioned!"

The clerk nodded at Wang Ye and handed him a silver ticket stamped with a large seal, "Rest assured, I won't tell him."

"Thank you."

Taking the silver ticket from the clerk, Wang Ye nodded and took out another one hundred and fifty taels of silver, "Deposit this for me too."

"Alright!"

The clerk responded, quickly took the silver, and began to weigh and store it.

While the clerk was depositing the silver, Wang Ye looked around.

He didn't notice anything at first, but when he turned his head, his heart stirred.

He saw a figure standing not far from him.

This figure was about eight feet tall, quite tall. He was dressed in white, giving off a sense of nobility.

Seeing this figure, Wang Ye's brows furrowed slightly.

This figure was very familiar to him...
