Qi Ning said with a smile: "The poison king doesn't need to be in a hurry, if you want to see the emperor, you must always make it clear in advance." www.biquge.info I will make it clear to the emperor that the Poison King has come to Beijing as promised, and if the Emperor summons him, I will immediately send someone to inform the Poison King. By the way, the gambling king doesn't know where to settle in the capital? ”

Qiu Qian Yi didn't talk nonsense, and said where he was staying, and after Qi Ning wrote it down, he said: "The Poison King has been staying there for the past few days, as soon as there is news, I will immediately send someone to find you, lest the emperor summon him, but there is no trace of the Poison King." ”

Swing Yi sneered: "Are you worried that the old man will cause you trouble in the capital?" It was you who brought me into Beijing, if the old man really killed people and set fires, you couldn't get rid of it. ”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly: "The Poison King is a master of the rivers and lakes, and if he really wants to kill people and set fire to the capital, this style is too low." ”

"Don't worry, the old man won't kill people and set fires, and if he really wants to kill people, he will only kill one person." Swing Yi said lightly: "Duan Qingchen has taken refuge in the Shenhou Mansion, maybe he is hiding in the capital, and the old man naturally wants to search for his whereabouts." His eyes were like knives: "If the old man finds him, he will naturally break him into pieces." ”

Qi Ning just smiled and didn't say much, and then he got up and said, "The old man will go first." "It's not nonsense, when he walked to the gate, he suddenly thought of something, stopped his steps, and didn't look back, just said: "Qi Ning, your doll's qi is good, and it's no wonder that the Jinyi Qi family has been a hero for generations, and there are still some doorways." Without further ado, he walked away.

After breakfast the next day, Qi Ning asked Gu Qinghan about the location of the Gu family's pawnshop, Gu Qinghan was in a low mood, and said: "As soon as today passes, Qian Zhuang will take the pawnshop, and you can still see that it is the Gu family's pawnshop when you go today, and tomorrow, you will change your surname to someone else." Qi Ning told her to try her best to keep the pawnshop, but Gu Qinghan knew very well in her heart that the money in the money village could not be returned, and others would not be polite, but where could she find tens of thousands of taels of silver for a while.

Although there is still some silver in the treasury of the Hou Mansion in Jinyi, it will not be able to transfer the silver of the Hou Mansion to the past, and the expenses of the Hou Mansion are still counting on that silver, and even if Qi Ning agrees to take the silver to solve the urgent need, the treasury silver of the Hou Mansion is far from reaching that amount.

Qi Ning comforted him a few words, and didn't say much, and went out of the house to the Gu family's pawnshop.

In the Gu family's pawnshop, it was deserted, Gu Wenwen rushed to the pawnshop early in the morning, the Jiang shopkeeper had already fled, there were originally five or six guys in the pawnshop, but after this happened to the Gu family, everyone knew that they couldn't even pay their wages, and they had already left, leaving only one Gu family's genealogy to guard here.

The pawnshop was deserted, and the sign of closure had already been hung outside.

"Uncle, is this shop really going to be taken away tomorrow?" Seeing Gu Wen sitting on the chair in a daze, the servant approached and asked cautiously, "Is there really no way for the third lady to do it?" ”

Gu Wenwen shook his head, this setback also made his sharpness disappear, and said with a wry smile: "What else can be done?" I was confused for a while, I knew that now, I shouldn't have come to the capital in the first place, and I wouldn't have had so many things to do if I stayed in Gangneung honestly. ”

The servant said: "Uncle, in fact, even if you accept the shop, it is not a dead end, let's go back to Jiangling, food and clothing will not be a problem." The Gu family still has a ...... of Zhuangzi in Jiangling! ”

"That's all mortgaged." Gu Wenwen said angrily: "It's not under my control now, after today, the surname Qiao really wants to take over Jiangling's Zhuangzi and Tian, and I have nothing to do." ”

The servant said in frustration: "Master Hou doesn't help over there, he is such a big official, as long as he says it, who dares to accept our shop from the family." ”

"He can't help this kind of thing." Gu Wenwen understands, "It is natural to repay debts, that is, the palace owes the outside silver, can it still be relied on?" Raised his hand and slapped himself, "Anyway, this is all my confusion for a while, and the old lady is still worried at this age, hey, everything is tossed now, where do I still have the face to go back to Jiangling ......!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and immediately saw several figures entering the pawnshop, and the servant immediately went up and said: "I'm sorry for a few people, the pawnshop is closed, and if you don't accept it, a few people are still .......!" Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone laugh and say, "We are not here to be things, we are here to redeem them." ”

Gu Wenwen was in no mood to care about these people, he was sighing to himself, when he suddenly heard a voice, raised his head reflexively, suddenly looked over, jumped up from the chair suddenly, rushed up in two steps, raised his hand and pointed at the visitor: "Yes..... It's you? You bastard, you ...... How dare you slander Lao Tzu? "Swing your fist and you're going to hit it.

The man immediately took two steps back, but two people came forward beside him, both of them were tall and big, and stopped Gu Wenwen, and one of them reached out and grabbed Gu Wenwen's wrist, full of strength, Gu Wenwen couldn't move for a while, but saw the man smile and said, "Uncle Gu, what do you mean by this?" When guests come to the door, you don't receive them well, and you have to beat people, so it's no wonder that your store is closed. ”

Gu Wenwen recognized that the one who came to the door turned out to be the owner of the two fakes.

He thought that this person had lost more than 100,000 taels of silver, and he had already disappeared without a trace away from the capital, but he never expected that this person would bring someone to ransom him.

The big man holding Gu Wenwen's wrist pushed hard, Gu Wenwen took a few steps back before he could barely stand firm, his eyes were split, and he said angrily: "Who are you?" ”

The man laughed and said, "Under the surname Kong, the trumpet Kong Erhu, Uncle Gu, you accepted my paintings, and you didn't even know my name and surname, hahaha, you can really do this business." Walking over and sitting down on a chair, the four big men who followed him were all environmentally friendly and sturdy with arms, standing behind Kong Erhu, all of them looked fierce and arrogant.

Gu Wenwen tried his best to calm himself down and asked, "What are you doing here to cheat me out of my money?" ”

"Uncle Gu, I don't understand what you're saying." Kong Erhu crossed Erlang's legs, and the fingers of his right hand clasped his nostrils, "My two paintings, but they are alive, I said that I can redeem them within half a month, today is the last day, I will bring silver to redeem them, there will be no problems, right?" Reaching out to his arms, he took out a thick stack of silver tickets, put them on the case at hand, patted them gently, and took out the deed with a handprint from his arms, and said: "What we said that day is very clear, two paintings, you take them back with 130,000 taels of silver, and I will ask for 160,000 taels of silver for ransom, Uncle Gu, here are 160,000 taels of silver tickets, one cent is not less, take the two paintings, the 160,000 taels of silver are yours." ”

Gu Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and his heart sank, those two paintings had been burned by Qi Ning in public in Cui Deyuan last night, how could he take them out at this time.

He is not a fool after all, and with a slight turn of his mind, he understands in his heart.

If there was no burning painting of Cui Deyuan last night, it would be impossible for this Kong Erhu to come to redeem it today, and it was precisely because Kong Ergou knew that the two fakes had been burned, so he swaggered forward.

"What, Uncle Gu, what's the problem?" Kong Erhu said triumphantly: "Could it be that there is something wrong with those two paintings?" We can say in advance, if those two paintings are damaged, you will pay me 300,000 taels of silver. ”

Gu Wenwen sneered: "Kong Erhu, your two paintings are fakes, you dare to pass them off as fakes." ”

"Uncle Gu, I never said it was true." Kong Erhu said with a smile: "It's the shopkeeper of your pawnshop who told you that it's true, I just brought two paintings over, and I'm a layman, I don't know if those two paintings are real or fake, it's always good to be able to use more silver urgently." But I'm true to my word, even if it's two fake paintings, but I don't cheat people, and I come back today as promised to redeem it. Leaning forward slightly, "It doesn't matter if those two paintings are real or not, the important thing is that you must exchange those two paintings for me now." Picking up the thick pile of silver tickets, "Give me two paintings, 160,000 taels of silver will belong to you, if you can't hand them over, then you have to give me another 170,000 taels of silver, is this right?" ”

The servant couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "You are cheating, you ...... Uncle, let's report to the official! ”

"Reporter?" Kong Erhu laughed and said: "You don't have to worry, if I really can't get those two paintings, I don't need you to report to the official, we will go ourselves." Shaking the deed in his hand, "It is clearly written on it, even if you meet the official, you have nothing to say." Yes, I know that you are behind Jinyihou, but Jinyihou must also be reasonable, and you can't bully others. ”

"Yes, Jin Yihou never bullies others." As soon as Kong Ergou's words fell, a voice came from outside the door: "Jinyi Hou will only reason with people." As he spoke, several figures came in from outside the door, and the first person was dressed in brocade and jade, and it was Qi Ning.

Gu Wenwen saw Qi Ning coming, like a drowning man seeing a straw, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly came over, saying, "Master Hou, this is ..... This guy came to redeem it. ”

Qi Ning nodded with a smile, turned his head to look at the person beside him, and said with a smile: "Yuan Gongzi, did you hear what you said just now?" On his side, it was Yuan Rong.

Yuan Rong smiled: "I can hear it clearly. ”

Seeing Qi Ning bringing people in, Kong Ergou looked a little flustered, but at this moment, outside the gate, there were already a lot of people around, there were shops on the left and right sides of the pawnshop, and they all knew that the Gu family pawnshop was pitted by someone, and something big happened, at this time, when I saw a group of people coming to the pawnshop, I couldn't help but be curious, and they were all crowded in front of the door to watch.

After Qi Ning entered the house, Gu Wenwen immediately ordered someone to bring a chair, Qi Ning and Yuan Rong sat down opposite Kong Ergou, and looked at Kong Ergou with a smile, Kong Ergou was looked at by Qi Ning with a smile, and felt that there was some hair on his body, where did he dare to sit, stood up, but he still tried his best to calm down, and arched his hand: "Little Kong Erhu, meet you...... Meet Master Hou! ”

"Kong Erhu, good name!" Qi Ning smiled: "Kong Erhu, the accent you listen to, it seems that you are from the capital?" ”

Kong Erhu reluctantly smiled: "Father...... My father moved to the capital twenty years ago, and the villain ..... The villain also followed into Beijing, and has lived in the capital for more than 20 years...... which is considered ..... It is considered a person from the capital. ”

"I don't know where you got those two paintings?" Qi Ning asked with a smile: "Is it an ancestral thing, or is it an occasional get?" Or did someone ask you to bring it to the pawnshop? ”

Kong Erhu changed color slightly, and said with a reluctant smile: "Master Hou, how to get it, this ..... It doesn't seem important, does it? It is inconvenient for the villain to say. The villain came today to redeem as promised, this ...... This doesn't violate the royal law, does it? ”

Qi Ning laughed and said: "No, no, repaying debts, borrowing and redeeming, this is a matter of course, and there is no mistake." ”
