Chapter 40: Proposals
Baili Changge looked at the girl in the hall with a gentle expression. "Seriously injured two disciples of my Lingshan, and dared to come up the mountain to collect debts, you little girl is really brave. ”
Mu Zhifu smiled: "I often hear people say that the style of Lingshan Gate is very rigorous, and the disciples are all heroic and upright. So since I was a child, I have admired Lingshan very much. I believe that those who bully people and break into people's houses at night must be severely punished according to the rules of the door. Zhifu is not talented, and she is willing to share her worries for the head. ”
Baili Changge smiled when he heard this: "What a sharp mouth!" But even if my Lingshan disciple makes a mistake, he should be punished by my Lingshan himself, and there is no reason to be bullied by outsiders. ”
Mu Zhifu blinked, knelt on her knees, and made a big salute neatly. "The disciple is willing to worship the master as a teacher!"
"Shameless!" The third master slapped the table and stood up again, pointing to the girl kneeling on the ground, his fingers trembling. "You seriously injured two disciples of my Lingshan and refused to admit your guilt. Do you dare to say that you want to worship the head of the family as a teacher? What kind of place are you in Lingshan? How can you be so arrogant?"
Maybe it's because a few days ago in Hongshan, I saw too many banshees who cultivated above the Four Elephant Realm. Mu Zhifu really doesn't take the Third Master and the like seriously now.
She needed the identity of a Lingshan disciple to carry out her future actions. She must also be a Lingshan disciple with status, she is not here to live in Lingshan. If even a third master has to be afraid, then it will be difficult for her to get ahead.
Mu Zhifu didn't even give the third master a look, and her voice was cold: "Zhifu doesn't dare to be arrogant in Lingshan. But this senior, you seem to be very presumptuous in front of the head of Baili. ”
"You ......" The third master wanted to reprimand this little girl who didn't take him seriously, but he felt that the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be wrong at this moment.
He raised his eyes and looked around, but everyone didn't say anything, but when they looked at him, they obviously agreed with Mu Zhifu's words, and even his wife's expression was a little embarrassed.
After all, these people only recognize a hundred-mile long song! The third master was furious in his heart, but on the surface, he was becoming more and more calm.
Suddenly, the woman sitting at the bottom of the position laughed twice: "Third Senior Brother is really a quick temper! You are thinking about Lingshan wholeheartedly, but let outsiders grab your pigtails." This big hat of 'disrespectful to the senior brother in charge' is buttoned down, but it is enough for you. ”
In two sentences, the third master was relieved, and he accused Mu Zhifu, an outsider, of having bad intentions. It's really beautiful! Mu Zhifu wrote down this person in her heart.
"Hmph! It's this seat that worries about it. The third master took advantage of the situation and continued to speak.
Mu Zhifu raised her head and looked at the head of Baili again: "Of course Zhifu understands that Lingshan is not a place where anyone can mess around. In fact, it is not difficult to find out what happened yesterday. But there are some things that are easy to find out, but difficult to explain. Zhifu believes that the top priority is to discuss how to solve this problem. ”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Baili Changge. Everyone understands in their hearts that no matter who is right or wrong in this matter, Lingshan must not admit it. It would be a shame for their own disciples to be beaten half to death, if they mistook this again...... How will you mix in the rivers and lakes after that?
But everyone also knows that Baili Changge is an extremely loyal person. If it is really found out that his own disciple has done something wrong first, it is impossible for him to shield the person who made the mistake with all his might.
So now, Mu Zhifu's proposal has been recognized by everyone.
Baili Changge looked at everyone's gaze and frowned. This is his spiritual mountain, the spiritual mountain that he used to be proud of.
"Oh?" he sighed softly, "then you say, how should this matter be resolved?"
Mu Zhifu smiled, took out a small notebook from her arms, and respectfully presented it to the master.
Baili Changge took the book suspiciously. While he looked through it, Mu Zhifu explained to him: "These are all the property damaged by Han Gongzi last night, with a total value of more than one million taels of silver, and Han Gongzi has already drawn ...... it."
"Shhh......h No wonder it was beaten like this.
Xiao Jinhan was very depressed. He's hurt like this, and this dead girl is going to use him. He had been lying here for so long, and none of these masters said that they would heal him first.
In fact, he really blamed a few masters. It's not that they don't want to heal him, it's that no one can heal him. The medicine hall has run out of medicines this year, and the elders in charge can't get in and out, and they went down the mountain to earn living expenses two days ago.
Everyone is quite poor, not to mention that his wound has obviously been carefully treated, even if Senior Sister Lan was injured in blood yesterday, he has to pay for a doctor by himself.
Mu Zhifu patiently accompanied the head of Baili to read the account book carefully, and watched the head of the house's face turn from white to red, and then from red to blue, and finally a miserable green.
“...... This seat feels that Han'er is the third prince of Da Liang, should this account be settled by Da Liang?"
He can't be blamed for that. Not to mention that Lingshan is already poor, even the Great Liang Treasury may not be able to come up with so much silver. That's a lot!
But Mu Zhifu would not let him go easily. "The head of the family, a teacher for one day, a father for life. If someone else has an accident in Lingshan, who will be responsible if you are not responsible?"
The head of Baili pulled the corners of his mouth, he was really a teacher for a day, and the apprentice who was accepted on the first day of August caused such a big thing on the second day of August. "This ......"
Debt collection was not Mu Zhifu's purpose, she quickly interrupted the master's words. "If Lingshan can't take out so many silver taels for a while, it doesn't matter. Zhifu has an offer!"
"You say!" asked the head of Baili without hesitation.
"Zhifu has admired Lingshan swordsmanship since she was a child, and it is a great honor to see the head of the golden face today. I am willing to compete with the disciples of the same generation of Lingshan, if I lose, we will write off the account of more than one million taels of silver. But if I win......" Mu Zhifu was stunned.
"How?"
"If I am lucky enough to win, it means that Zhifu is indeed related to Lingshan, and please accept me as a disciple......! It's a private matter between me and Senior Brother Han. ”
Xiao Jinhan, who was blackened and skinless: "......"
Baili Changge thought about it, and then looked at the others in the hall. Zhengse said: "If you win, this seat can take you as an apprentice instead of Hanyan." Wait for her to get out of the customs, and then officially bow to the teacher. ”
Mu Zhifu was slightly disappointed in her heart, judging from the rumors, Ye Hanyan did not meet her expectations of her master. But she also understands that this is already the biggest concession of Baili Changge, and there will be no better result if she continues to make trouble.
"It's a deal!"
"Never break your word!"
Several masters of His Royal Highness had their own concerns, some frowned, and some stopped talking, but in the end, they did not speak out against it.
Come to think of it, this is the best solution. If this girl loses, the debt will be written off, and Lingshan will also regain face. If she wins, she will be a person from Lingshan in the future, and all the unpleasantness will turn into a joke between fellow disciples, and it is no big deal.
Only the third master has a slightly different idea from everyone else, since it is a competition, it is inevitable that there will be misses, this is a great opportunity to get rid of Mu Zhifu!
