The bald fat old man returned the ruby to the white-clothed guest, and said with a smile: "What should I do if I haven't gathered the amount of five thousand taels of gold since Your Excellency has come early?" ”

The white-clothed guest smiled and said, "The envoy is polite, how can a dignified 'Chrysanthemum Island' envoy not even be able to take out five thousand taels of gold?" ”

"Your Excellency!" The bald fat old man said: "Five thousand taels of gold is not a small amount!" ”

The white-clothed guest said: "If the envoy really can't take out five thousand taels of gold today, it doesn't matter, I will bring Hai Gongzi back first, and come back in three days, but I want to say that in the front, the goods are rising, in case someone offers a better price in the next three days......"

The old man in white coughed dryly and said, "Messenger, since Brother Bai is here, it's not good for him to run this trip empty, I think it's better to make up the things he brought and make this deal." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Yes." The white-clothed guest said, "Lest you have long nights and dreams." ”

The bald and fat old man smiled and said, "Although Your Excellency is not a businessman, you can do business better than a businessman. There was sarcasm in this sentence.

The white-clothed guest didn't care, he said: "I have no choice, the envoy doesn't see that I'm early, that's because the rumors are leaking, someone is willing, pay a high price of 50,000 taels of gold, the messenger should know, the people's hearts are difficult to fill, 50,000 taels and 10,000 taels to one, anyone will choose the former, I am afraid that I will not be able to control it at that time, and I will miss the appointment with the messenger, so I will send the son to the messenger before the greed arises." ”

The bald fat old man smiled slightly: "So I have to thank Your Excellency?" He turned to the old man in white and said, "You can go to the backyard for a run." ”

The old man in white responded to the call, didn't have much effort, held a small iron box, hurriedly folded it back, handed the small iron box to the bald fat old man with both hands and said: "Coincidentally, messenger, my subordinates counted just now, it just so happened that five thousand taels and one or two are not much, one or two is not much." ”

The white-clothed guest smiled: "It's quite a coincidence. ”

The bald fat old man said: "There is another silver ticket......

The old man in white said: "It's opened, it's all in this box." ”

The bald and fat old man nodded slightly, raised his eyes to look at the white-clothed guest and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

The white-clothed guest said: "Doing business pays attention to a sincere word. No one has to be afraid of anyone playing tricks, let's pay with one hand and hand over to others. He strode over, put the man under his arm to the ground, and reached out to the little iron box.

A strange smile appeared on the lips of the bald fat old man, and he said, "Your Excellency is the first cheerful person I have seen in my life. He handed over the small box with both hands.

The white-clothed guest stretched out his hand to catch it, and at this moment, the small box suddenly trembled slightly, and the bald fat old man let go of his hands and staggered back.

The white-clothed guest remained unmoved, and he smiled: "The envoy is so exquisite. ”

The bald fat old man's face was already red, but now it was even redder, he forced a smile and said: "I'm gone, Your Excellency's cultivation is still above the messenger of 'Chrysanthemum Island', fortunately I didn't exert all my strength, otherwise this anti-shock force will have to shatter my internal organs, Your Excellency opened the box and checked it." ”

The white-clothed guest smiled: "The messenger is not afraid of my deception, am I still afraid that the envoy will not be able to deceive, no need, I will leave, and I will meet again if I have a fate." "Soar up into the night sky.

The old man in white stomped his feet and said, "This person is treacherous enough, I didn't expect him to come early, otherwise we would definitely be able to keep him." ”

The bald fat old man smiled coldly and said, "Is it just us?" Forget it, even if he comes in three days, even if we arrange it, we still can't keep him. He added, "This Hai Gongzi is about ......" put his hand on the unconscious man, and suddenly said angrily, "This is fake! ”

Morning Wind took the box back and handed it to Manshu. Manshu said: "Tested? Chenfeng said, "No." ”

Manshu opened the chest and saw that the gold inside was also fake. The two grinned at each other. Chenfeng asked, "Is that over there with you?" ”

Manshu said: "I'm even more crazy over there!" ”

She went to a pawnshop. But it is said that there is a Kaiyuan Temple next to the pawnshop, and there is a bridge on the side, known as the overpass. Under the overpass, there is a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is all-encompassing. In front of the Kaiyuan Temple, there are full of food stalls, all kinds of food and drink. On a food stall, sitting around his legs is a young man wearing trousers and sleeves, who is working hard to earn food in this market, known as "Kuaishou" Xiao Li.

At this moment, "Kuaishou" Xiao Li had a few side dishes and a pot of wine in front of him, and he ate quite proudly. While he was bowing his head to eat and drink, someone patted him from behind: "Xiao Li, someone is looking for you." ”

"Who?" Kuaishou Xiao Li turned his head in response, and there was a short and fat man standing in front of him, fat and fat, looking at the dress, he knew at a glance that it was "Kaiyuan Temple" begging for life.

Kuaishou Xiao Li said "oh": "It's a fat brother, sit down and drink two glasses." "If you are familiar with it, you have to pull the fat man to sit down. The fat man hurriedly said: "I'm not free today, let's do it another day, I'll definitely disturb you another day, Xiao Li, someone is looking for you." "Someone looking for me?" Kuaishou Xiao Li was stunned and said, "It's not fat brother, you're looking for me?" ”

The fat man said: "It's not me, where did I come from so much creation?" He is the steward of the Liu Mansion. He raised his hand and pointed out. Kuaishou Xiao Li raised his eyes and saw a little old man standing a few steps away, wearing a silk trouser gown, dressed in a very stylish manner, but he still had the annoying atmosphere of a pawnshop.

Kuaishou Xiao Li said "oh": "It turned out to be the steward of the Liu Mansion, please come and sit." "He didn't even get up.

The little old man came over, and the fat man said hello and left.

Kuaishou Xiao Li pointed to the bench and said indifferently: "Sit." ”

The little old man looked stubborn, rolled his eyes and said, "You are Kuaishou Xiao Li?" ”

Kuaishou Xiao Li said: "That's right, I am, what?" ”

The little old man said coldly: "It's nothing, I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong person." ”

"I can't be wrong," Kuaishou Xiao Li said: "I am the only one in front of Kaiyuan Temple, and there will be no second one." ”

"That's right." The little old man said, "My master asked me to tell you that the things are ready, where are you going to send them?" ”

Kuaishou Xiao Li smiled and said, "Let me ask first, what is your Excellency in charge of in the Liu Mansion?" ”

The little old man said coldly, "Why are you asking this?" ”

Kuaishou Xiao Li said: "Don't be angry, I want to know if your Excellency is enough, does what you say count?" ”

The little old man's face changed and he said, "My master, since you sent me, of course what I say counts." ”

Kuaishou Xiao Li said: "How do I know that your Excellency is indeed a trustworthy person in the Liu Mansion?" ”

The little old man said, "That's easy, you can follow me to Liu's Mansion for a run......"

Kuaishou Xiao Li shook his head and said, "I'm not free, I'm a little ghost, I don't dare to enter the big temple." ”

The little old man sneered and said, "You don't come with me like this, I have passed the word, and it's up ......to you to say it or not."

"What, it's hot?" Kuaishou Xiao Li rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, then I won't talk about it!" ”

The little old man was stunned: "You ......"

"What's wrong with me?" Kuaishou Xiao Li said, "It's not that I want to do business with you." What does it matter to me if you don't make a deal or not? I'm just hired to preach the word. My employer told me to be careful! If I accidentally pass your words back, something goes wrong, and I'm still unlucky. If you don't cooperate, I will say that you are unreliable. If it's over, do people like to do business with you, what does it matter to me? ”

"You!" The little old man was surprised, "You are really a scoundrel!" ”

"Not bad." Kuaishou Xiao Li smiled, "So you have to be clear, if you get angry at every turn, it's not me who suffers bad luck!" ”

The little old man's face was red, white, and finally a forced smile: "Okay! I was on an errand in Liu's Mansion until my beard turned white. The master can trust me. What I say is true. Brother, why do you have trouble with me? ”

Kuaishou Xiao Li smiled, nodded and said: "This is still like words, go back and tell your master to go, tomorrow night, at the beginning of the shift, send me the things to the tomb of the Northern Emperor in 'Lishan', and we will pay the money there and deliver the goods with the other." The little old man got the word and turned away. Kuaishou Xiao Li drank two more glasses of wine, also stood up, and went to Manshu on an errand.

It was night and day. The night was dark. On this Li Mountain, it is especially dark. The Northern Emperor's Mausoleum stands majestically, gloomy and a little frightening.

The mountain wind is not strong, but it is sent over to cry sadly at night near and far, like a ghost crying. Nearby residents said that every night when the moon is dark and the wind is high, they often hear bursts of ghost crying from the top of Lishan, which is the burial and craftsman who was killed when the Northern Emperor built the tomb, believe it or not.

As soon as the first shift arrived, a carriage circled up. Just before galloping to the mausoleum at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, the driver was a passenger in Chinese clothes, and the escort was four strong men in Chinese clothes and swords.

There were three riders in the back of the car, one on the left and two on the right. The one on the left is a tall and thin old man, dressed quite exquisitely, and the two horses next to him are two big men in black with swords, and one of them has a tall bow next to the saddle.

As soon as the carriage stopped, the tall and thin old man led the second horse to the front, looked around, and said in a loud voice: "The Liu family has arrived as promised, and Your Excellency can show up." ”

A loud laugh shook the birds, the branches shook, and from behind the tombstone of the huge mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, a handsome son came out, who was dressed as Manshu. She stepped out with a jade bone gold fan in her hand, and said, "It's already here, but you can't hear it and turn a blind eye." ”

The tall and thin old man stared at him and said, "Your Excellency is ......."

Manshu grinned and said, "What? Don't you know each other when you change your clothes? ”

The tall and thin old man nodded slightly and said, "I see, did Your Excellency bring people?" ”

Manshu smiled: "Since it is a transaction, how can it not be justified not to bring it if you pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other?" ”

The tall and thin old man said, "Where are the people?" ”

Manshu shook his head and said, "I'm not busy, let me take a look at the 50,000 taels of gold first." ”

The tall and thin old man raised his hand and said, "It's in the carriage behind the old man." ”

Manshu teased him: "I know, I have long smelled the smell of gold in the car, but the smell is false, and seeing is real, I want to test it a priori." ”

The tall and thin old man said, "Yes." He raised his hand again.

The two swordsmen in black behind him turned over and dismounted from the saddle, and went around to the back of the car, and the two of them worked together to carry down a dozen iron boxes one by one.

There was a row of iron boxes in front of the carriage, and the thin old man pointed to the iron boxes and said: "Fifty thousand taels of gold are here, not a penny, not a lot, Your Excellency come and check it!" ”

Manshu glanced at the dozen or so iron boxes, and said: "Don't bother the two masters, please ask the two who carry the boxes to open these dozen iron boxes one by one, and I will check them here, and one glance is enough." ”

The tall and thin old man smiled coldly and said, "Your Excellency is too careful. ”

He raised his hand, and the two big men in black with swords immediately stepped forward to open the iron boxes one by one, and more than a dozen iron boxes were all opened, yellow and clear, and each box was neatly filled with gold bars, but unfortunately there was no moon tonight, if there was a moon, it must be dazzling gold. With such a dozen boxes of gold bars, one box is enough to live for several generations, how can it not make people appetize.

Manshu's eyes shifted from the first iron box to the last iron box in turn, and then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, please two of you close the box." ”

The tall and thin old man said coldly: "Doesn't Your Excellency inspect the bottom layer? If there is a worthless piece of iron at the bottom, your Excellency will suffer a great loss. ”

Manshu smiled and said: "No need, I can trust the golden signboard of Liu Caishen." ”

The slender and tall old man immediately ordered two strong men in black with swords to cover the dozen or so iron boxes one by one, and then stared at Manshu and said: "Fifty thousand taels of gold, Your Excellency has already verified the boxes one by one, and now you can always hand them over, right?" ”

Manshu shook his head and said, "I'm not busy, I still want to ask these two for a favor." ”

The tall and thin old man said, "What else do you want them to help?" ”

Manshu replied, "I would like to ask the two of them to carry these dozen iron boxes into the tomb for me." ”

The tall and thin old man sneered and said: "Your Excellency is too much, you must know that the Liu family transported 50,000 taels of gold to the northern foot of Lishan Mountain, and then moved it out of the car in one mouth, which is quite enough. ”

Manshu smiled: "Your Excellency, this is not only difficult for a strong man, but also is suspected of treacherous and deceitful, I am alone, how can I move away these dozen iron boxes of gold at once, if I hand over the people now, you are ambushed in the forest archers, plus these masters in front of me to besiege and attack, I will not be able to take away a single iron box, isn't it stealing chickens and rice, losing my wife and breaking my soldiers." ”

The thin and tall old man's face changed slightly: "Your Excellency is not going to spew blood, and the Jin family does not have any ambush. ”

Manshu smiled, "Do you want me to give me some pointers?" "Raise your hand and point to the left," there are fifty archers in ambush in this forest on the left," and point to the right, "There are also fifty archers in ambush in this forest on the right, all of them are iron-backed strong bows, quenching poison Peng Ling, there will be no mistake." ”

The tall and thin old man's face changed greatly, and he said coldly: "That's to prevent Your Excellency from playing treacherous and deceitful—" (To be continued.) )
