Chapter Eight Buying News
In fact, Chu Tianshu didn't trust these book boys.
Regarding the news they said, he could only say that he was doubtful.
——One possibility is that these people joined forces to defraud him of his money.
However, the money Chu Tianshu had was only rewarded by Qi Zhongliu this morning.
These bookboys didn't know much about how much money he had.
Therefore, if these people want to use fake news to scare Chu Tianshu and thereby defraud money, then using a huge sum of money such as one dollar or more than one dollar as bait, these people are bound to reveal their flaws.
But there is another possibility.
That is, the news spoken by these people is true.
The sixth lady of Prince Chen's Mansion, the girl Chu Tianshu had met twice, was really a murderer without blinking an eye.
If this is the case, one dollar, or a few dollars, can buy you news that is of positive significance to saving your life, and you will make a lot of money.
When Chu Tianshu threw the silver coin out, the eyes of all the bookboys present couldn't help but look at the dollar.
Judging from the price level that Chu Tianshu learned this morning, the purchasing power of this dollar should be between 3,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan.
Of course, if one considers that the location of the market he visited this morning is Tianjing, the capital of the Dayun Dynasty, then this dollar has a purchasing power of close to 6,000 yuan.
This is a very outrageous thing.
But at the moment, this matter is not his first priority.
Chu Tianshu's top priority is his own life.
Not a single book boy stared at Chu Tianshu's jingling pocket containing more silver coins.
Their greed is limited to the one silver coin that is thrown out.
In other words, they did not plan in advance to intimidate Chu Tianshu with false news.
What they said, that the Sixth Miss had killed six of the Seventeenth Young Master's study boys within two years, was true!
"Whoever tells me the news I want to know first will get this dollar!" Chu Tianshu looked around.
"Half a year ago, Miss Sixth killed Master Seventeenth because his boy was leading him to skip class."
"Nineteen days ago, Miss Sixth killed Master Seventeenth because his book boy took him to a brothel."
"I know these two." The book boy looked at Chu Tianshu with burning eyes: "I don't ask for a dollar, but you have to give me forty cents!"
"There are six people in total. You said the cause of death of two people and you want 40 cents?" Chu Tianshu raised his eyebrows: "You are a little greedy."
"Sanmao is fine too."
"No, I'll give you four cents." Chu Tianshu took out a handful of silver coins from his pocket, lowered his head and started counting the money.
From the corner of his eye, he kept looking at the two book boys beside him.
They didn't have any communication, they were all shocked by the huge sum of money Chu Tianshu was carrying.
More than twenty yuan!
Chu Tianshu took out the silver triangle left over from the morning meal from a pile of silver coins.
He picked out four silver triangles and threw them towards the book boy who provided him with the information.
The book boy hurriedly caught the forty cents.
"Thank you." The bookboy put the 40 cents into his pocket and said with a smile, "I wish Brother Fu can survive from Miss Sixth."
"I'd like to lend you some good words." Chu Tianshu looked around at everyone: "Does anyone know anything else?"
No one spoke.
The relationship between these bookboys is not very good, and they are not familiar with the previous bookboys who preceded Qi Zhongliu.
Therefore, most of them may know about the other party's death.
But if you still remember the past six months or even more than a year, it would be unreliable.
Chu Tianshu lay on his side on the bunk, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.
These people don't even think about making up lies to deceive themselves. It should be said that they are all relatively honest in character - no wonder, when choosing a book boy in each family, they will not choose those who are too thoughtful and play with the master.
.
It is normal to find someone who is honest.
"It seems that no one remembers it." Chu Tianshu smiled: "Then I will take back this dollar."
As he spoke, he looked at the expressions on the faces of the book boys.
I didn't see that obvious expression of hesitation.
It seems there is really no news available.
Chu Tianshu sighed.
Then he began to analyze his current situation based on the known information.
——Staying alive must be your goal.
And the person who is known to have an impact on her ability to achieve her goals in the short term is the sixth lady.
Miss Sixth is the biological sister of Young Master Seventeen, who has the same father and mother. Her relationship with other siblings in the family who have the same father and different mother is somewhat different.
From the perspective of ordinary people, one is because he took the young master to skip classes, and the other is because he took the young master to a brothel.
Ignoring for the moment the possibility that Miss Six is a pervert who just likes to kill people, is it because Miss Sixteen killed these two bookboys and Master Seventeen because they didn't learn well?
A silver coin was tossed up and down in Chu Tianshu's hand, attracting attention.
Chu Tianshu suddenly asked: "What is the reputation of the sixth lady of Prince Chen's house?"
Shen Siyuan was slightly startled: "Why do you ask this?"
"Just ask." Chu Tianshu replied.
"Sixth Miss usually has a very good reputation. She is charitable, kind-hearted, very business-savvy, and able to manage the family business." Shen Siyuan replied, "Several young men in our family all admire Sixth Miss."
Chu Tianshu nodded: "It sounds good."
But when a young man admires a girl, the most important factor should be her appearance and figure, right?
Thinking about it this way, the other person's appearance and figure are enough to make people admire him.
He was born in a royal palace and has a noble status; he seems to have opened a factory and can make money by himself; he has a beautiful appearance and seems to have a good figure.
It's normal to be admired by others.
But he is kind-hearted and willing to do good...
To be honest, Chu Tianshu couldn't imagine it.
"In that case, Miss Six does not kill innocent people indiscriminately." Chu Tianshu sighed intentionally or unintentionally.
"That's definitely not the case." Shen Siyuan said, "Anyway, I've never heard of Miss Six killing anyone randomly."
Chu Tianshu looked at others.
Everyone's expressions were similar to those of the source of deep thought.
For the dangerous Miss Six who had already killed six book boys, these book boys did not feel any fear or disgust at all.
Killing someone randomly for a reason... isn't that killing someone?
Feudal society is indeed more cruel than I imagined.
Chu Tianshu thought and threw a dollar into Shen Siyuan's arms.
Si Siyuan didn't react for a moment and asked, "What are you doing?"
"It's for you." Chu Tianshu smiled: "I'm new here. You brought me to the lounge and gave me such important news. It shows that you are willing to treat me as a friend."
"Just think of this dollar as me treating you to delicious food."
"Of course, if you feel that this dollar insults your character, you can return it to me."
Shen Siyuan's lips moved, and he immediately put the dollar into his arms and covered it tightly: "I don't think so."
