And Shen Lang owed a full 1,000 gold coins

When the time comes, if Shen Lang cannot produce 1,000 gold coins, what will happen

In ancient China, many provincial capitals did not necessarily have city walls that were twelve meters high, which can only prove one thing: the level of military power in the world far exceeded that of ancient China, thus necessitating higher city walls for defense

Alright. Tian Shisan's smile became even more simple and honest.

Fourteen, go and have the brothers come over to handle these two corpses said Tian Shisan

Because of twenty-five gold coins, Tian Shisan did not hesitate to kill this father and son, who had a friendship spanning over ten years.

Like lightning, it pierced the hearts of the father and son, moving so swiftly that Shen Lang could hardly see it clearly

Families in the countryside are poor, and many children do not even have new clothes for the New Year. The Shen family is even poorer, yet Shen Lang has three new outfits each year; regardless of the difficulties at home, his parents always make sure to provide for him.

Younger brother Shen Jian is quite unambitious, spending his days aimlessly outside. However, compared to the previous Shen Lang, he has improved significantly. Aside from his handsome appearance, Shen Lang is utterly lacking in other qualities. If it weren't for Shen Lang's crossing over from Earth, this dimwit would not only be unable to support his parents in their old age, but he would also be incapable of managing his own life, requiring his parents to care for him until they grow old, after which he would rely on his younger brother for support and care.

Puff... ...

... ...

The family is very poor, yet they have given themselves everything that is best

... ...

The next morning, after getting up, Shen Lang prepared medicine for his father and younger brother, washed up, and had breakfast

Shen Lang said: "I definitely won't be able to make it back by noon, but I will try to come home for dinner in the evening"

Mother immediately became anxious and said, "Da Lang, will you come home for lunch?"

Moreover, his bed is very large and soft, and even the thin quilt is new

I will go and open it, Shen Lang said

The urgent task at hand is to overcome the current crisis

He instinctively wanted to give the egg to his father

Shen Lang said: "Within three hours, I will earn this one thousand gold coins"

Tian Heng will kill his entire family, as he has always been a man of his word.

The middle-aged man said, "Well, then I will slaughter a pig's head tomorrow, go visit your father, and we will drink together."

Tian Shisan said: "You and my father have been friends for over ten years, akin to brothers; what does this small amount of money matter? When I was young, I often came to your house for meals."

Tian Heng gave him three days to raise one thousand gold coins, and now only two days remain

Tian Shisan enthusiastically said: "Madam, my home is in the town, I will not let Shen Lang go hungry."

The mother warmly said: "Oh, it's Da Lang's friend, then let's have some porridge together."

Shen Lang calmly finished the bowl of rice porridge, but his mother handed him an egg and said, "Hurry up and eat it"

"Da Lang, what is the matter?" Mother asked

Shen Lang and Tian Shisan entered Xuanwu City

Tian Shisan said: "Shen Lang, I know you are just stalling for time. With only two days left, it is utterly unrealistic to expect to earn one thousand gold coins, so just tell me now that you cannot do it. I will give you a quick end and spare me two days of wasted time, how about it?"

"Mother, it's nothing, it's just my two friends," Shen Lang said

Tian Shisan nodded and said: "Hmm, I escaped with my father, and we have known each other for over ten years. He often held me when I was a child"

By the way, uncle! The middle-aged man named Tian Shisan said: "My father said that you don't need to repay the money you owe our family."

Shen Lang suddenly asked: "Tian Shisan, was that middle-aged man just now your uncle?"

Then, he took out a sharp knife and wiped it again and again; as soon as Shen Lang nodded slightly, he would immediately kill him at the fastest speed

"Wasteful Shen Lang, I will repay the debts you owe to our parents and younger brother, using a lifetime to do so"

The middle-aged man said, "I will go tomorrow, I will go tomorrow"

Shen Lang stopped in front of a three-story building, with a sign above that read "Jinxiu Pavilion"

"Eat it, eat it immediately," the mother said decisively, and then she peeled another egg, giving half to the father and half to the younger brother

Mother said, "Then I will trouble you, and in the future, when you come to the house, Aunt will cook eggs for you to eat"

Tian Shisan said: "In two days, if I do not have one thousand gold coins, I will kill your entire family"

Shen Lang said: "Yes, within three hours"

One thousand gold coins may represent the savings of hundreds of families over several decades, constituting a substantial sum. For someone like Shen Lang, a poor young man, earning one thousand gold coins in just two days is truly an impossible task

Shen Lang noticed that the walls of Xuanwu City were actually over 12 meters high and nearly 10 li in circumference

Then, Shen Lang left home to earn money, with Tian Shisan and Tian Shisi closely following behind him

Upon hearing Tian Shisan's words, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Brother Shisan, do you want to share a bed with me?"

... ...

"Good." Shen Lang said

Tian Shisan warmly said: "Uncle, why haven't you come to our house to sit for a while? My father has been thinking about you; just yesterday he was saying that you haven't come over for tea. Although you owe our family a little money, please do not let that create distance between us. You and my father are not just brothers, but even closer than brothers."

Then, he walked straight out

Mother, I went to the city with my friends. Today, a very impressive teacher came to the school. " said Shen Lang

One set for summer, one set for autumn, and one set for the New Year

Shen Lang silently vowed to ensure that his parents would live a good life, to make certain that his younger brother would marry and establish a family, achieving success in his career.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Lang stepped into the magnificent and resplendent Jinxiugge.

Tian Shisan smiled and said, "No need, we have already eaten, thank you, ma'am"

... ...

Is it possible to earn one thousand gold coins within two days

Then, he swiftly drew out the sharp knife

Tian Shisan carefully wiped the sharp knife with a silk scarf, then cautiously tucked it into his bosom. He meticulously checked his body and sleeves to ensure there were no traces of blood, and then said to Shen Lang: "I apologize, I was delayed for a bit upon seeing two acquaintances. Let us continue on our journey."

Then the father and son stood still, seeing it was Tian Shisan, their expressions somewhat awkward, but they quickly replaced it with smiles and said: "Oh, it's Shisan, it's been a few days since we last met"

Xuanwu City is one of the eight cities in Nujiang Prefecture, overseeing twenty-five towns, with a total population exceeding 250,000, and the population within the city itself surpassing 30,000

Hello, Uncle, it has been some time since you last came to my house for a meal. My father specifically prepared some fine wine, but it has gone sour. He instructed me to send a piece of meat to your home, and I did not expect to run into you today!

This is completely unbelievable

Shen Lang looked at Tian Shisan and said earnestly, "There is no need for two days; it can be done today!"

Shen Lang asked: "How much does he owe?"

Tian Shisi said: "Yes, brother!"

"Alright, I will eat," Shen Lang said

Tian Shisan stepped forward and said warmly, "Uncle Li, Brother Dalu, long time no see!"

Only after watching him finish eating did the mother break into a smile

After entering the city, the streets were bustling with activity, and the shops were numerous, more prosperous than I had imagined

Bang bang bang

He truly does not understand why this is happening? Why his parents would favor him so much? It even seems unreasonable.

Please begin my performance

Tian Shisan stepped forward, embraced the father and son, and walked towards the depths of the adjacent rice fields, eventually entering the woods

Alright... said Tian Shisan

His smile is also very warm, completely unrecognizable as that of a killer, and entirely resembles that of a good young man

Shen Lang lay comfortably on the bed. His home was quite dilapidated, with some areas of the roof already leaking, so his parents and younger brother lived in one room, while Shen Lang had a room to himself

And the younger brother, Shen Jian, has never had new clothes; he always wears the old clothes of Shen Lang

Tian Shisan's eyes widened in surprise, exclaiming, "Three hours?"

From beginning to end, the expression on Tian Shisan's face showed little change, always bearing a smile, even at the moment of murder

The two individuals continued their journey, heading towards the direction of Xuanwu City

Three gold coins, since they are acquaintances, the interest is a bit lower, and after compounding, it amounts to twenty-five gold coins. Tian Shisan said: "He still cannot repay, yesterday the father and son went to the gambling den and incurred several gold coins in gambling debts."

After Tian Shisan embraced the father and son and entered the woods, his tone became even more affectionate, as if they were close relatives.

He not only wants to make a fortune here, but also seeks to take severe revenge on the Xu family

After four hours, Shen Lang had traveled over thirty miles and was nearing Xuanwu City

Most of the soldiers on the city wall were wearing leather armor, while the officers were clad in armor, totaling more than several hundred individuals

Tian Shisan exclaimed, "Is it true?"

At this moment, there are two men on the road ahead, walking in a flustered manner, cursing as they walk. They appear to be a father and son, with the father in his forties and the son in his twenties

"Time is of the essence, let's go make money," Tian Shisan said directly, his tone still light and carefree.

A knock sounded at the door, and seeing the unease on her mother's face, she went to open the door

After opening the door, it was indeed the Thirteen and Fourteen sworn brothers under Tian Heng

There were no screams, no wails of despair; the father and son simply died. It was a considerable time before blood gushed forth from the wounds.

One thousand gold coins, an astronomical figure for his family

The middle-aged man said, "I feel so embarrassed, so embarrassed..."
