(759 Throw money and admit defeat and accept heavy gifts, and carry lanterns to lead the way into Huangquan)

With a scolding sound, he threw the copper money in his hand into the empty plate on the table, and the so-called throwing money to admit defeat.

At the same time, the table was on Song Lan's side, and a red agate on the table immediately lit up, indicating that Song Lan had accepted the result of Song Lan's victory and Gou's defeat.

This result will also be combined by the spirit of the connection and merged into a magic circle created by the ancestor of the Song family himself.

This magic circle is arranged in the ancestral hall of the Song family in the Song City, and its core is a seemingly ordinary granite tablet called "Lord of Song". The stele is engraved with a knife and an axe, and the names of the heads of the family of the past generations are engraved vigorously and powerfully.

The name of each generation of the head of the family occupies a line on the stele. But there is not just one name in this line, but four names. It's just that three of them seem to have been cleanly scraped off with a knife, and only one remains, which is the ultimate head of the family.

As the two wisps of spiritual power converged like water, the body of the monument shook slightly, and there was a sound like a grinding stone. As if a craftsman was working on it, pieces of stone chips fell automatically. After a while, the names "Song Ruhai" and "Song Lan" appeared on the line at the end of the list.

Although the name is "Lord of Song", the name on the stele is not only the head of the family. As long as you enter the top four of the money guessing competition, the name will automatically appear on the tablet. Anyone eliminated from the Final Four will have their names erased at the same time. The last person left is the well-deserved head of the family.

Everything is done by the preset spirit in the formation. This strictly established the rules, and also avoided the possibility of favoritism and malpractice by the organizers of the "Guess the Money Conference". When the name of the head of the family finally appeared on the stele, the identity stone in his hand automatically became the key to control the Song family.

The Song family is not a Xuanmen family, but a businessman, but the ancestors of the Song family believe in the spiritual formation in everything, not in people. He believes that people must have desires and selfishness. If you are selfless, you will naturally not be able to become a businessman.

So since then, the Song family has spent a lot of money to invite the Xuanmen array master to set up the formation, set up all kinds of spiritual opportunities, and control all the key affairs in the family.

Although cashiering, accounting, inventory bottoming, and review all require the assistance of people to operate, almost all of the key points are automatically controlled by the formation machine, which also eliminates the possibility of someone working in it and profiting from it to the greatest extent.

The entire Song family is a huge, automatic money-making machine. Of course, it is difficult to discern whether it is the people or those magic circles that play a key role in this. It's just that one or the other is indispensable.

It is such a "money guessing conference" gambling game, and each game is also automatically combined by the formation on the table to determine the winner or loser, without the need for a referee. The deacons who patrol the tables are mainly responsible for maintaining order and preventing anyone from disrupting the game.

Even the silver that everyone wins or loses is not to be carried on their bodies and handed over by hand, but is recorded in the spirit of the formation. When the money guessing conference is over, he can go directly to the Song family's account office to collect it.

What made Gou Zhu feel pain was the spirit in the red agate he was holding. This is a kind of formation pivot in the Song family, which represents his identity, called the identity stone. It also records the amount of silver he won, and the amount of money he won was drastically reduced.

Five thousand three hundred taels were lost, and three thousand six hundred taels remained. Gou Zhu sighed. For him now, although thousands of taels of silver are only equivalent to thousands of pure yang pills and a few taels of blood spirit stones, it is not a trivial matter for him. Because his money is in Lian Ling's hands.

Although Lian Ling gave him the treasure ring of opening the Yuan Bao Store and told him that he could use it casually, the consequence of using the treasure ring was that every expense would be directly returned to the treasure ring of the same account held by Lian Ling.

She would also ask with a smile from time to time: "August 13, when the child is in the middle of the Ming Dynasty in Jinyu City, thirty taels of silver will be withdrawn...... What are you doing withdrawing money in the middle of the night?"

Originally, they were in the same spirit, so she just probed her divine sense into it and read it. But after becoming a Taoist couple, she suddenly had the concept of "privacy", and rarely went so rough and straightforward. But because of this, he is also very head-headed every time he explains.

It's easy to start with a sum of 10,000 taels of silver, which is not in the treasure ring, but suddenly loses more than half, and it is also lost to a female streamer. It's really not a pleasant thing.

Gou Zhu was angry and was about to say goodbye, but he saw Song Lan carefully caressing his hand on the agate stone in his palm, and passed a wisp of divine thought. The stone in his palm then heated slightly, and the silver in it suddenly increased by 10,000 taels!

He was surprised, but not surprised. Does he want money, he can earn it, he can steal it, and he can ask his wife for it, but he has never been used to tipping others.

Although I deliberately dressed up relatively plainly in order to keep a low profile, and I didn't look like an elder-level character, but you, Miss Song Jiayi, really regarded me as a servant of Song Ruhai?

Besides, what should I do if I hold this kind of money in my hand and go home and be noticed by Lian Ling? I can't explain the legal source at all. Lying can't hide it from her at all, and the consequences are even more serious, don't you lie, saying that it was given by a woman?

The flow of money in the Song family's accounts was controlled by their own divine consciousness. In fact, he only needed one thought to transfer the ten thousand taels of silver back to Song Lan. But instead of doing so, he decided to deal with it calmly first......

"Miss Song, what does this mean?"

Song Lan respectfully bowed her hand, bowed her waist, and said in the inaudible voice of the person next to her: "It's just a small courtesy, not a respect." The little girl has nothing else to do, just one thing to ask for!"

......

Back more than ten days ago, Song Ruqing was seriously thinking about how to escape from the Song Mansion, which is this Song City.

Elopement is not an easy task. Of course, he can go out of the gate with the night slave in broad daylight, and no one will stop him. But it won't be long before a whole bunch of bodyguards come up and hug him, and wherever he goes, they will follow.

It's just that they will follow, and soon the people of the Song Elders Association will follow. No matter where he goes, these people will follow a few from time to time, hand over a piece of jade slip, bow down and say, "Please return this matter to the head of the family!"

He didn't want to be outside while he was having fun with the Night Slave when someone from the Council of Elders suddenly appeared next to him.

It is not difficult to deal with this kind of thing, he just needs to take the jade slip, turn the divine will around, understand the beginning and end of the matter, and then cross into a wisp of divine thought, saying "yes" or "no". He can even ignore it and directly approve or veto it.

But even that is annoying enough, as long as this kind of thing happens, it is annoying enough!

He can also delegate authority directly to the Council of Elders, which will then act on his behalf. However, this authorization is for a limited period of up to one year.

He wants to live with the night slaves for the rest of his life, how can he bear to be harassed by these old fellows after a year of peace?

So it is not possible to walk during the day, it must be at night, in the dead of night. But Songcheng is not an ordinary place, and it is surrounded by prohibitions. And he didn't know anything about arcane things like formations, enchantments, and prohibitions. Didn't he break out on his own to find death?

He thought about it for a long time, and finally stared helplessly at Yenu'er's beautiful eyes, which made him unable to extricate himself, and said, "I'm sorry, I can't go." There's no way I can get out of this cell without letting people know. ”

Ye Nu'er looked around cautiously, stretched out her slender jade finger and gently shushed on her red lips, and said, "Brother Qing, be quiet, follow me." Then he grabbed his hand. The two held hands tightly, one after the other, avoiding crowded places, and walked towards the ancestral hall at the core of the Song family's compound.

At night, the ancestral hall is lit with everlasting lanterns. In the patio, not a single star was visible in the dark sky. Under the cover of night is a quaint granite stone stele, which is the main stele of the Song family.

The night slave carried the lamp in her right hand, let go of her lover with her left hand, and touched it somewhere on the stele, and there was a rumbling sound from the ground. In a few moments, the thick granite floor, which seemed to be so old that no one had touched it for at least hundreds of years, collapsed on its own, revealing a black hole. At night, the dim light of the lantern reveals a small stone staircase at the entrance.

"What is this? Secret Passage? My good boy, how did you find it?"

Song Ruqing was a little shocked. There is such a big hole under the monument of the head of the family, he doesn't know it as the head of the family, but the night slave is just a maidservant, how did she know about this entrance?

Night Nu'er covered her mouth with her sleeve and smiled, and said: "The slave offended Zhao San's mother-in-law who was in charge of the backyard at that time, and was sent here to sweep the ancestral hall for half a year, and once found it when he was wiping the monument. ”

Song Ruqing hadn't asked yet, but the night slave had already pulled him, and the two walked into the dark tunnel together. As their figures sank into the deep darkness as if they had entered water, the granite slabs on the ground rumbled back to their original shape, as if no one had ever moved.

This generation of heads of the Song family has disappeared since then.
