Chapter 111: Debt Collection
There were two drivers in total, and eight horses, though well trained, could not tow such a large chariot or boat. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As soon as they heard the orders of the Taibao on the ship, the two coachmen whipped their horses together, and they couldn't stop urgently, because the hull of the ship was too heavy, and the horses had to stop urgently, and the big boat behind had to run over the horses.
Waiting for the car and ship to slowly stop, Xu Yan turned out of the cabin under the puzzled gaze of the rest of the Taibao, stood on the deck and looked at the group of people who happened to pass by and smirked.
The team of men and horses were all warriors, and the leader was riding a tall horse, and it was Yue Chengfeng, the hall master of Aoki Hall.
Yue Chengfeng had just come back from an errand, in fact, he had already seen the oncoming car and boat, he was the hall master of Aoki Hall, how could he not recognize that it was Taibao traveling, and originally wanted to say hello, but when he thought that Xu Yan was also one of the Taibao, Yue Chengfeng had no intention of saying hello, and avoided the roadside early, wanting to come out of sight.
He didn't want to say hello, Xu Yan didn't plan to let him go.
Standing on the deck, Xu Yan condescended and said in a loud voice, "Hall Master Yue, where are you going?"
There was nothing to say, and Yue Chengfeng was helpless when he heard it, so he hugged his fists and said, "It turned out to be Yan Taibao, the old man went to Egret City and just came back." ”
"Egret City?" Xu Yan scratched his head and asked curiously, "Is there an egret in Egret City?"
This is really nothing to say, there is no fault to find fault, Yue Chengfeng suppressed his anger and said: "It's just a name, there are no egrets in Egret City." ”
"It's a shame there are no egrets. Xu Yan shook his head regretfully, and then became happy again, and said: "Master Yue's hands and eyes are all over the sky, he must know where there is an egret, I will pay a hundred taels of silver, how about you help me buy one?"
The egret is very rare, it is said to be a kind of spirit bird, the most fatal thing is that the egret is only the blue feather country in the sixteen countries of Tiannan, the Qi country is close to the Tongtian River, but the blue feather country is the farthest country from the Tongtian River, the two countries are separated by 108,000 miles, let Yue Chengfeng go to the blue feather country to buy the egret, just give a hundred taels of silver, the road fee is not enough, not to mention the rare spirit bird.
Yue Chengfeng was already angry, he didn't dare to fight the idea of Meixianglou again, this time it has been a lot of peace, who let Meixianglou have a Taibaoye, with his status as the master of Aoki Hall, it is not enough to see in front of Taibao.
Yan Taibao laughed. ”
Yue Chengfeng is also an old treacherous and cunning person, suppressed his anger, and said perfunctorily with a smile on his face: "The egret is a spirit bird, worth ten thousand gold, if Yan Tai keeps a million silver, the old man can reserve his mind for Yan Tai, maybe he can really buy a bird with a million silver." ”
Yue Chengfeng had already seen that there was not a Xu Yan on the car, Yang Yi and several young Taibao were curious at this time to poke their heads out to see the excitement, and found that there were a lot of Taibao in the car and boat, Yue Chengfeng expected that the Taibao might also be on the boat, since Xu Yan had nothing to do, he might as well lose Xu Yan in front of the Taibao.
You like birds, take a million silver out, a Taibao does not practice martial arts diligently, specializing in egrets, isn't it a plaything and loses his mind.
"So expensive!"
Xu Yanke didn't care what Yue Chengfeng was thinking, he exclaimed stupidly, and said regretfully: "It takes a million silver to buy an egret, it seems that the egret meat must be a delicacy in the world, I really want to taste what it tastes." ”
Buying egrets is for eating, as soon as Xu Yan said this, not only did the corners of Yue Chengfeng's eyes twitch, but the corners of Dataibao Zhuo Shaoyu's eyes also twitched twice.
"It seems that I have to save money, otherwise when will I be able to eat egret meat, Hall Master Yue, pay back the money you owe me first." Xu Yan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, took out a note from his arms, and said, "It's been ten days earlier, and for the sake of us being in the same door, I won't charge you interest." ”
Seeing the note in Xu Yan's hand, Yue Chengfeng's brain hurt.
That was the price of a meal in Meixiang Louhai, and if he didn't sign an IOU at that time, all his subordinates in Aokitang would have to take a hot bath, or boiling water.
"Brother Seventeen, how much does he owe you?" Yang Yi also came to the deck at this time and asked curiously.
"It's not much, it's only 50,000 taels. Xu Yan said casually.
"Fifty thousand taels!" Yang Yi exclaimed: "Brother Seventeen is so rich, anyone can lend out fifty thousand taels, my family doesn't have so much money, when I have no pocket money, can Brother Seventeen give me some." ”
"Pocket money?" Xu Yan blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "No problem! We are brothers, we will give you five thousand taels to spend later." ”
"Brother Xie Seventeen!"
Yang Yi was so happy that he danced with his hands, his family was not poor, but it was not very rich, five thousand taels was a sky-high price for him, although the Taibao of the Ghost King Gate could receive hundreds of taels of silver every month for his own use, but it was not yet January, and Yang Yi did not carry a few taels of silver in total.
Yue Chengfeng, who was on the side of the road, heard that Xu Yan gave the eighteenth Taibao five thousand taels of silver, and said in his heart, if he owed Xu Yan the money, he could still perfunctory a few times, after all, fifty thousand taels is not a small amount, but people have allowed the money out, and now it is not a Xu Yan who is waiting to repay the money, but also a Yang Yi.
Yue Chengfeng went out this time to go to Egret City to collect some profits for the Ghost King Gate.
Egret City is not a small city, it is also the territory of the Ghost King Gate, there are more than 1,000 lay disciples, each lay disciple has to pay fifty taels of silver a year, Yue Chengfeng came back this time, and the profit collected was as much as 70,000 taels, that was not his money, but the money of the Ghost King Gate, and he was about to go to the villa to restore his life.
"Yan Taibao, the old man is in a hurry on this trip, and he didn't bring so much money, next time, next time, he will definitely return the amount. ”
Yue Chengfeng didn't dare to touch the money of the Ghost King Gate, so he had to leave his face and settle his debts, his old face was red and white, he was also a master who had been famous for many years, when did he suffer from this kind of anger, but he was helpless.
"It's good to borrow and repay, it's not difficult to borrow again, Hall Master Yue, you can't talk and don't talk about it, otherwise let the eldest brother evaluate the reasoning, how can a hall master not pay it back." ”
Xu Yan pursed his mouth, turned around and shouted into the boat: "Big brother, you come to comment, the hall master of Aoki Hall owes me 50,000 taels of silver and does not pay it back, I have a written note, and it has been more than half a month in ten days, and he obviously wants to repay the debt!"
There are many people who don't pay back their debts, but Yue Chengfeng is not one of those ruffians, he is the real hall master, he wanted to delay for a few days, and he was said to be a debtor, Yue Chengfeng's face is completely lost today, especially in front of the big Taibao.
As the young master of the Ghost King Gate, Zhuo Shaoyu's rights are second only to the door master Zhuo Tianying, and it is easy for Zhuo Shaoyu to accept his fate and revoke several hall masters of the congenital three veins.
Yue Chengfeng was suddenly taken aback at this time, he finally realized Xu Yan's intentions, and forced him to pay back the money in front of the Great Taibao, and said that if he didn't pay it back, he would inevitably be looked down on by Zhuo Shaoyu.
Stiff-headed, Yue Chengfeng hurriedly said: "Yan Taibao is serious, it's only tens of thousands of taels, how can the old man rely on the debt, since Yan Taibao wants money urgently, the old man will pay back the money now." ”
As he spoke, Yue Chengfeng took out ten silver tickets worth five thousand taels from his arms, handed them to Xu Yan on the deck, arched his hand to several Taibao, and rode away, not in the direction of the villa, but Fengdu City.
He's going home to raise money.
The money given to Xu Yan is the money collected by Egret City, and if this money is not returned, the owner of the door will have to peel off his skin.
While smirking, Xu Yan carefully checked the number of silver tickets, looked at the reverse and the front, and stuffed a silver ticket of five thousand taels to Yang Yi beside him, and was so happy that the old eighteen danced with his hands.
"Passing through Egret City on the way, right? Xu Yan asked the coachman, and after receiving an affirmative answer, Xu Yan raised his head and shouted: "Then let's have a big meal in Egret City, this time I'll be the east!"
