Chapter 44 Interest Claim (Part 1)
Wu Lilan put it away and looked at it with contempt, and he said solemnly: "Your sword is really good. ”
Zhao Chongyi said with the same calmness: "My sword is a sword." Since you're going to bet on it, you have to be worthy. This sword was forged for me by my wife for a hundred thousand taels of silver. ”
The people present immediately exclaimed. One hundred thousand taels of silver, even in Dachu, is a huge number, let alone in the impoverished southern Xinjiang. Although the people present were all wealthy merchants in southern Xinjiang, the chief stewards of various trading houses, many tribal leaders, and powerful people, they still exclaimed in surprise when they heard such a huge amount of silver.
Chen Wenhui smiled slightly. This sword was not made of a hundred thousand taels of silver. However, this sword, plus a set of inner armor on Zhao Chongyi's body, was made of 100,000 taels of silver. This is still the price of the black family's friendship, if someone else creates this set, just the sword, I am afraid that the black-hearted black family will ask for 100,000 taels, and they may not be willing to build it. Therefore, from this aspect, Zhao Chongyi is not exaggerating.
Wu Lilan said angrily: "Don't talk about it, such a sword, even a sword, will not be a hundred thousand taels of silver." 100,000 taels of silver can buy a small tribe. ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled slightly and said: "Hmph, Wu Lilan, you haven't been out of Southern Xinjiang, of course you don't know, the wealth of Da Chu, 100,000 taels of silver to buy a sword in Da Chu, how normal it is." Do you know? The merchants of Da Chu spent a lot of money, and I just said that I couldn't finish talking about it for three days and three nights. Although our family is not the richest, we really don't take the 100,000 taels of silver to heart. ”
Everybody at this time. Thinking about it, a few days ago, the Zhao family's caravan swept the goods in the four major trading houses in Guangzhou City, and their transaction volume this time had already exceeded 300,000 taels of silver. This can't be hidden. From this point of view, maybe this Zhao Steward's family is really so rich, and his sword is really worth 100,000 taels of silver. Moreover, as everyone has seen just now, this sword is indeed sharpened like clay.
In this way, it would be a little inappropriate for Wu Lilan to bet on this sword. Because the Lan clan really can't take out something worth 100,000 taels of silver to bet on Zhao Chongyi. So. You can't compete in the ring. This is a tradition in southern Xinjiang. Once in the ring, life and death have their own destiny, and there is no revenge or objection. Even the queen can't stop it.
Except for this. Ring competitions are generally colorful. Both sides have to come up with an equal value jackpot. If the value of the jackpots is not equal, the contest cannot take place. This is the rule. Zhao Chongyi had already known this from the banquets in the past few days. That's why I said that.
Wu Lilan's face became ugly. The competition he initiated, however, as the son of a dignified Lan clan patriarch, and his mother was still the great elder of the Lan clan, he couldn't take out an item of equal value to the things of the Great Chu merchants, which was really embarrassing.
Looking at Wu Lilan's ugly face, Zhao Chongyi said: "Since you can't take out such a valuable thing, let's gamble with something that everyone can accept." Just use the silver. How about I bet five thousand taels of silver? Can you afford it now? ”
Wu Lilan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Five thousand taels of silver is a lot, but as a young master of the Lan clan, he can still take it out. He couldn't help but say, "Since you want to give me money, can I not accept it?" In this way, I will send my men, the second warrior of the Blue Clan, Blue Roar, to fight, what about you? ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "I won't choose anyone anymore, just this entourage next to me." His name is Liang Li. Remembered. ”
At this time, the host of the banquet hurriedly walked out and invited everyone to the ring. Naturally, there are servants who have already placed the tables, chairs, and tea next to the ring.
The host of the banquet collected the silver tickets taken out by both sides and placed them on a table with five thousand taels each. On the other table are bets, and anyone who comes to the banquet today can place bets on who wins.
Chen Wenhui was very interested and leaned over to take a look. found that everyone basically bet on that blue roar to win, it seems that that blue roar should be a famous person in Guangzhou City. There are very few people who bet on Liang Li to win. At this time, a voice sounded, and a stack of silver tickets was placed under Liang Li's name: "I bet on Liang Li to win." ”
Chen Wenhui saw that it was actually Ram, and couldn't help pouting.
The steward at the gambling table checked the silver ticket and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Ram bet on Liang Li to win, bet 1,000 taels of silver." ”
Chen Wenhui almost burst out laughing. The princess seemed to have no money ready when she came out.
At this time, Che Mu on the side plucked up his courage and also took out a stack of silver tickets and put them in Lan Roar's name, and the steward said loudly: "His Royal Highness Che Mu bet on Lan Roar to win, bet three thousand taels of silver tickets." ”
There was a sudden exchange of ears. The two highnesses and sisters actually stand on such opposite sides?
Ram glared at Chem. It's a pity that Che Mu didn't look at his sister at all, and his beautiful eyes were all on Wu Lilan.
Chen Wenhui looked ridiculous, stretched out his hand and took out a stack of silver tickets and said, "I bet on Liang Li to win, bet 10,000 taels of silver." ”
As soon as he said this, the whole venue fell silent. Such a big bet made the host of the banquet break out in a cold sweat, and he walked up to Chen Wenhui and said, "Mrs. Zhao, we don't have 10,000 taels of silver for the whole bet together. How can you gamble with 10,000 taels of silver? ”
Chen Wenhui had already put 10,000 taels of silver on the gambling table, and the steward also checked it tremblingly, it was really 10,000 taels of silver. The steward had never seen so much silver in his life.
Chen Wenhui said embarrassedly: "Okay, I forgot about this matter." In this way, you can see how much money you win from betting on Lan Roar, and then remove the thousand taels of silver from His Highness Ram, and I will cover the rest. If you lose, the people who bet are doubled, and if you win, the money goes to me and His Highness Ram. ”
It's fairer. The host of the banquet nodded. I went to call the steward to count it.
Ram on the side looked at the beautiful Chen Wenhui and bit his lip. What do you compare yourself to others? People are more beautiful than her, and they are younger than her, she is eighteen years old this year, but Chen Wenhui is only fifteen years old. Moreover, you see, how rich people are, they actually took out 100,000 taels of silver to cast a sword for their husband, made a bet, and placed a thousand taels of silver themselves, and when they made a casual move, it was 10,000 taels of silver. Tell me, is there any reason for this? How can you carry a silver ticket as much as 10,000 taels of silver? Aren't you afraid of robbery?
However, the only thing that can compare to this Mrs. Zhao is her own identity. Thinking of this, Ram raised his head haughtily.
This was just a small episode, and soon, Liang Li and Lan Roar stood in the ring and started the competition.
The people in the audience looked like crazy. Almost everyone bet on this one, and if they could win, it would be doubled. Of course, the host of the banquet has to be given a percentage, but this is also a lot of money, so everyone is very excited.
The host of the banquet smiled happily. It's just a banquet, food, and drinks can cost a few dollars, but I didn't expect to host such a big martial arts competition, plus the five thousand taels of silver on both sides, as well as the bets placed by the people present, more than twenty thousand taels of silver, no matter who wins, he has a steady pocket. That's more than two thousand taels of silver, which is really a big number, and it can be said that he is the biggest winner.
In the ring, Liang Li and Lan Roar had already fought together. Liang Li is a skill-based player, and Lan Roar is a power-type player, both of them have their own strengths, and for a while, they can't tell the winner, showing a stalemate. Everyone in the audience was cheering for Lan Roar.
Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi watched in a very relaxed mood, and they exchanged heads and ears from time to time, very leisurely. Ram looked anxious for a while, this Zhao Chongyi was still talking to his wife at this time, it was really useless, and a sour taste came to his heart.
Zhao Chongyi looked at it for a while, and then understood Lan Roar's tricks, and couldn't help but feel a burst of disdain in his heart, although these Baiyi people in southern Xinjiang have found another way in martial arts, but after all, they are not as profound as the martial arts of the Central Plains. Previously, Zhao Chongyi told Liang Li to let him take it easy and take a look at the number of roads of this blue roar first, so as to understand the background of the Lan people. That's why Liang Licai and Lan Roar have been fighting for so long. Otherwise, he would have beaten Lan Roar down a long time ago.
After watching it like this for a while, Zhao Chongyi was a little bored, and shouted at the stage: "Okay, go home early for supper." ”
When the people in the audience heard this, they were speechless for a while. At this tense moment, this Chu man was actually just thinking about eating supper, hadn't he eaten enough at the banquet?
Ram was also hot for a while, why did this Zhao Chongyi drop the chain so much, at this time, he was still thinking about eating, didn't he see that his subordinates were already inferior?
Che Mu snorted coldly and said, "It turned out to be a foodie." The eldest sister still admires him so much. I think the Chu people are like this, and they can't support the strong goods. ”
Ram was annoyed for a while, looked back at his sister and said, "What's going on with you today, help the people of the Blue Clan everywhere, be careful to let your mother know." ”
Che Mu pursed his lips and did not say anything, but he was unimpressed in his heart.
Just when everyone was laughing at Zhao Chongyi's words, there was a change on the stage, Liang Li turned his moves, from dodging to becoming vigorous, punching to the flesh, in the blink of an eye, he had already made more than ten punches, Lan Roar couldn't dodge, half of it fell on his body, and suddenly his whole face was swollen, and the sound of bones breaking came from his body.
Everyone in the audience was stupid.
At this moment, everyone could see that Liang Li had not done his best before.
Before everyone could react, Liang Li had already made a mistake and punched Lan Roar's temple. Lan Roar was killed instantly.
Wu Lilan immediately stood up, her eyes full of anger.
Zhao Chongyi's eyes were cold. Before going on stage, he confessed that he must put this blue roar on the stage, which is to ask for a little interest for the injured guards. Liang Li really didn't disappoint him. (To be continued......)
