"Maybe these people were touched by my true feelings." I smiled and said, "Of course, you also have credit for this." Forget it, you drink the medicine first, don't think about anything now, I'll take care of the money thing. ”

"You?"

His face was full of disbelief and said, "Don't be joking, how can you have six taels of silver?" If so, it's not me saving you, it's you saving me. ”

Obviously, Shen Zhongyuan felt that I was comforting him in this matter, and also, how could I, a beggar, have six taels of silver. Seeing this, I swallowed the words that came to my lips anyway.

If I told him that I promised the man three days later that he would pay back ten taels of silver, would he slaughter me?

Forget it, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there must be a road to the east. Although I can't come up with the money in the current situation, my status is valuable.

"Okay, don't think about it, you take a rest first. Two days later, when your injuries are a little better, I will beg you one more thing. I said, taking the medicine bowl aside.

It seems that he has to use his identity.

For the next two days, we both stayed in the house and didn't go anywhere. During this period, it was mainly Xiaorui who came to take care of us, in fact, it was mainly to take care of Shen Zhongyuan.

I could see in the eyes of the two people that these two people liked each other. After all, two people have lived without guessing for more than 20 years, and even a stone can give you heat.

The relationship between the two is heating up, and I am very happy in my heart. Taking advantage of this time period, I asked Shen Zhongyuan, what is going on with those three people, why are they so domineering, and they can double the principal and interest in just ten days? On the other hand, if you are beaten like this, aren't they afraid? After all, this is Chang'an City, and this is a place where there is a king's law, aren't they afraid of reporting to the officials?

Regarding my questions, Shen Zhongyuan shook his head with a wry smile and told me that these three people would not say that they would beat him up, or kill him, and no one would trouble Wang Debiao. As soon as I heard this, I was directly blinded, what kind of situation is this, is human life really so worthless in ancient times?

"No, this is Chang'an, if you kill people under the emperor's nose, won't you break the law?" I was taken aback, although I would have thought that these people were not simple, but I didn't expect the strength behind these people to be so powerful.

"Do you know King Rui? That is, the younger brother of the Holy One today. He smiled bitterly and then said: "This usury is put by others, of course, he will not come forward, just ask his housekeeper to lend usury." This housekeeper is the most powerful loan shark in Chang'an City, and he can manage the loan sharks in Chang'an City to eight or nine times out of ten. ”

I was shocked to hear the news. No wonder that Wang Debiao is so powerful, he is not afraid of us running away or anything, the forces behind this are really monstrous.

"Does the Holy One know about this?"

"I don't think so, it's not a glorious thing after all. Although everyone in Chang'an City knows the news, who dares to say this. And then there's ...... Who will see the old man of the Holy Lord? ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhongyuan shook his head helplessly. I know that for a little person who has no power or power, it would be nonsense to see the Holy One. After all, the emperor is not something that anyone can meet.

But then again, it was really unexpected to me. This matter doesn't seem so simple, it has become complicated, the usury opened by the emperor's own brother, although I am the emperor's favorite minister, but I can't do it at all.

But on second thought, there should be room for relaxation in this matter. Because the emperor didn't know about it, this was the turning point. Think about it, what would happen if you saw moths in governing a country? I believe that Emperor Wu is a wise man, not a faint king, and only in this way can he govern a country well. Thinking of this, I unconsciously gained confidence.

On the third day, I saw that Shen Zhongyuan could get out of bed, which was good news for me. After all, if he can act, he can help me.

"Zhongyuan, how does your body feel? Does it still hurt? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Zhongyuan sat up on the bed and said, "Xiaorui takes care of it well, so I can get better so quickly." ”

"Well, do you remember that guy came to ask you for an account two days ago, why did you leave?" I asked him.

"This ......," he looked at me and said, "didn't you say I was touched by you?" ”

"Of course this is fake, I'm lying to you." I smiled and said, "Zhongyuan, I have something to tell you, I am Dongfang Shuo, you may not know me." However, I am a person close to the emperor and can talk to the emperor. I know you don't believe me, so I have a wooden card on me to prove myself. You can go to the palace with this wooden sign. ”

"This ......," he looked at me in surprise.

"Trust me, what I said is true, I will definitely do your business."

At my repeated requests, the guy went to the palace in disbelief. I sat at home, waiting for news from this guy, a little worried about him. After all, I don't know if this guy can go to the palace, and I don't know if the soldiers guarding the gate will arrest him as a spy.

Thinking about it, I fell asleep unconsciously. By the time I woke up, the sun had reached the south, which meant that I had been asleep for at least two hours. What is the concept of two hours? Four hours, to be exact.

I got up and looked inside the room, but I didn't see Shen Zhongyuan at all, did that kid encounter an accident? Was he really arrested as a spy by the guards of the imperial city? Wouldn't it, such a little back?

It was also at this time that the door was violently opened again, and the familiar shouting and scolding sounded directly: "Grandma, Shen Zhongyuan, come out quickly." ”

I frowned and took a deep breath, inwardly unhappy. It seems that this matter cannot be avoided. Now I just hope that this guy can go and come back quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be in danger.
