Chapter 13: No Upper Limit to Net Worth
Since they were all women, Zhou Chang had nothing to feel embarrassed about and continued to enjoy Miss Yuan's medicine application service.
Miss Yuan just applied the medicine seriously without even looking up. "The criminal detention center, the prison, the prison, and the prison. The detention center is for temporarily detaining suspects and has no power to torture and extract confessions. I just learned about this in recent days. I heard that if a man is temporarily detained in the detention center, he will torture the woman. As soon as I knew you were detained in the detention center, I quickly tried to find a solution, but I didn't expect it was too late."
There was a lot of apology in her words, but Zhou Chang only found it pleasant to the ear. He didn't know whether it was the effect of the medicine or something else, but he didn't feel the pain in his hand anymore. He even spoke in a stammering voice: "What are you talking about, Young Master? It's not too late, it's not too late."
Miss Yuan applied the medicine on her finger and then helped Zhou Chang apply it on his shoulder wound: "In the current situation, you all have to endure it a little longer. This time it is my Yuan family that has implicated you."
As the distance got closer, Zhou Chang could see more clearly. Those autumn-like eyes were filled with deep sorrow and sadness.
Suddenly, he remembered the conversation between Mr. Wu, the accountant, and Shuisheyao, so he blurted out, "Young Master, I heard that the boss was also arrested?"
Manager Li shouldn't have known that his boss had been arrested.
But Miss Yuan didn't notice it, and her expression darkened: "Yes, not only Daddy, but originally this batch of Kabuki was purchased by the Minister of Revenue, Lord Min. But now something has happened, Lord Min is in prison, and Daddy is inevitably implicated. But our Yuan family has always been law-abiding. In the past few days, Uncle He and I have found a lot of evidence to present. I believe the court will clear our Yuan family's name."
This was the first time that Zhou Chang and Manager Li knew that this batch of geishas was actually bought by the Yuan family with the help of the Minister of Revenue.
"It will happen, God has eyes." Zhou Chang is not particularly concerned about this matter until now.
I am just grateful that Miss Yuan showed up in time, and naturally I hope that her family's problems can be resolved smoothly.
“No matter what, don’t worry. As long as our Yuan family exists, we will be able to rescue you even if your father is implicated.” Miss Yuan assured again.
Conscience.
Even among the so-called "conscientious entrepreneurs" in previous lives, few could achieve this.
After applying the medicine on her shoulder, Miss Yuan looked her over and said, "I heard that everyone who comes here will be beaten with a killing stick on the first day. Do you still have any injuries on your back? Do you need to..."
"No, no, I dare not trouble the young lady." Zhou Chang finally felt embarrassed.
Miss Yuan usually didn't serve anyone, and she didn't force anyone. She piled the bottles of medicine on the table and said, "You can apply it yourself from now on."
"Thank you for your concern, Young Master." Zhou Chang imitated the tone that Manager Li used to speak to Miss Yuan in his memory.
At this time, the two female prisoners came back.
One of them was holding a brand new prison uniform, and the other was holding a pot of tea.
The female supervisor who brought the teapot placed the tea on the table and said to Miss Yuan with a flattering smile: "Miss, do you think it's about time? Why not do it next time..."
Miss Yuan didn't say much. She just stood up, put her veil back on, and prepared to leave.
Zhou Chang stood up, took the cloak and put it on her again, and suddenly thought of something else: "Young Master, there is one more thing I need you to take care of."
Miss Yuan looked back through the veil.
"When we were on the ship, there was a kabuki who was probably captured here as well. She must have suffered internal injuries due to some things that happened before. She had a high fever on the day she was captured and I don't know what happened. Her name is Xiqiao and she is definitely not a spy, I can guarantee that. I wonder if the young lady can think of a way, even if you can't take her out, at least ask a doctor to see her." Zhou Chang thought of Xiqiao and was really worried.
"Okay, don't worry." Miss Yuan agreed without even a moment's hesitation.
Zhou Chang was moved and bowed to the ground with true emotion: "Thank you, Miss."
"No need. Although the Yuan family was entrusted by someone to buy this batch of Kabuki, now that we have come forward and are responsible for the matter, we must take responsibility to the end." Miss Yuan said in a firm voice.
Zhou Chang could no longer see her eyes through the veil, but he could just feel a firm and warm gaze shining on her face.
She had mixed feelings in her heart. In the thirty years of her previous life and this life, including both men and women, she had never met such a heroic person.
After Miss Yuan agreed, she turned and left.
Afterwards, Zhou Chang used the remaining ointment to smear it all over his back.
In the evening, the food delivered included not only chicken legs, but also soup and vegetables.
Zhou Chang ate it with gratitude.
After eating and drinking, I lay on the hard bed and let my mind wander to the cold and damp prison stone wall.
Suddenly I regretted why I didn't ask Miss Yuan for the jade hairpin during the day.
Given Miss Yuan's personality, she would probably give it to her no matter what the reason was.
And now that she has the jade hairpin, perhaps she can change her identity and leave here.
It was an impulse, a momentary impulse.
When I thought about it this way, I thought of that “Nine-Rank Ranking List”.
As soon as the thought came to my mind, without any sound from the system, the ranking list automatically appeared in front of me.
Zhou Chang has become accustomed to looking down consciously.
[Lower Nine Four: Shopkeeper, storekeeper, manager...]
Then look at the vertical column.
[Price of Lower Nine Four: 30-100 taels]
It would take at least thirty taels of commission to change your identity.
How is it possible now that I am behind bars?
Zhou Chang was helpless at the moment and could only place his hope on the future. He looked directly at the top row.
???
I thought I would see the word "Emperor", but it turned out not to be the case.
[Shangjiyi: Rebirth]
[Upper Nine Two: Plane Crossing]
[The upper nine three: the emperor, the empress, the princes, the royal family...]
"The emperor is only ranked 'upper nine three'? What the hell are 'upper nine one' and 'upper nine two'?" Zhou Chang couldn't help but complain.
Viewpoint System: "Rebirth means you can live completely again in a body, just like your previous life. Plane crossing means you can not only change your identity, but also choose other planes, just like now."
"How can this be better than being an emperor?" Zhou Chang was confused for a moment.
In her opinion, no matter which world she goes to, as long as it is still a feudal society, being an emperor should be the most ideal choice.
Viewpoint system: “Not necessarily. You can understand it yourself.”
Zhou Chang gave up trying to understand and just looked back along with the emperor and his entourage.
[Price of Upper Nine Three: - taels]
How many zeros were there? I felt dizzy and quickly lowered my head to count from the bottom to the top.
"Two times two equals four, two times four equals eight, two times eight equals sixteen, sixteen times two is thirty-four. No, that's thirty-two. What about thirty-two times two?" Zhou Chang is a math idiot. There is no way out. The more he thinks, the less he is able to cope with the task.
The prices on the ranking list were a range, and she became even more confused when she calculated and put the numbers into the range.
"The price range of each level basically increases exponentially." The viewpoint system probably couldn't bear to watch it anymore and informed him directly.
Zhou Chang was still confused: "Does it mean that the price will double if I upgrade to a higher level?"
Viewpoint system: “Yes, it basically follows this rule.”
"Don't treat me like a fool," Zhou Chang yelled. A math idiot has her own pride, even though she couldn't count all those zeros. "Then how many more are there?"
I don’t know how many, but it must be a lot.
She had learned this when she was in middle school, and she suddenly felt terrible.
Viewpoint system: "This system does not require completion. You can stop at the level you like."
"Like?" Zhou Chang suddenly thought of Miss Yuan, and couldn't help but ask carefully in his heart, "How much is Miss Yuan worth?"
"It fluctuates between one million and ten million, and it cannot be determined. The price of a merchant's grade mainly depends on his assets and social status." The viewpoint system replied.
one million?
In her previous life, she didn't know how to earn even a million dollars.
Not to mention, Miss Yuan's demeanor and manners, how much more than a million dollars? "In order to sleep in, I decided to get up early.
In order to increase my collection, I decided to add more chapters. 」
