Chapter 49: The Teacup Controversy
"Hahaha... Sixth brother! It was getting late, and I deliberately came to the house. I don't know what's important? Li Chengji looked at the Kumbas who came to the door happily, and smiled warmly.
After a polite hug, Kombas replied with a smile: "Hee-hee-hee... It doesn't matter much. It's just that today we lost a teacup on the table. So Yarawachi came and asked. ”。
At present, the status of businessmen is very low. Under normal circumstances, dignitaries with official status do not disdain to associate with merchants. This is also the reason why the Khitan and Han court officials in the Great Liao Dynasty look down on the Northern Privy Envoy Ma Hemutebai.
Now that Kumbas has made a special trip to the Li Mansion for Yalawachi, according to common sense, it is obviously a loss of identity.
Thinking of these internal factors, Li Chengji indifferently shifted his gaze to Yarawachi.
Seeing that he instantly crossed his hands, pressed close to his chest, and made a standard salute in return: "Li Gongzi, please forgive me for taking the liberty of disturbing you." As he spoke, he glanced at the guy who was carrying a few red gift boxes behind him.
Li Chengji also clasped his hands into fists and performed a Han family etiquette. and glanced at Li Dali and asked him to step forward to take it.
From this hand alone, Li Chengji can deeply feel that Yarawachi can be a man.
After all, eating people is soft-mouthed and short-handed. After receiving the gift, Yarawachi opened his mouth again, and he had to give a few thin noodles.
"When the guy in the restaurant cleaned up the table today, he found that Li Gongzi was missing a teacup on the table. Although it is not an important object, it is in the presence of Allah, and it has been blessed by believers for 7749 days.
The Dharma also took it as a token from Allah and loved it very much.
If it weren't for the pleasure of welcoming the guests, the mage wouldn't have entertained them.
Therefore, today there was one less mouthful, and the mage was furious. A few of the guys who were waiting were also punished with boards.
In order to appease the mage's anger, he went to the palace to disturb him. ”。
This explanation is very modest and courteous. Li Chengji listened, and couldn't find a business trip. He pretended to be surprised, and said in surprise: "What? Lost the Mage's Teacup? Which bastard actually stole the mage's teacup? ”。
Hearing this, Yaravakachi responded with a more modest smile: "Xu is a person who is quite elegant, so he borrowed the mage's teacup as a reward and play. ”。
As soon as he finished speaking, Kombas winked at Li Chengji, as if to imply something. Li Chengji was at a loss, completely unable to understand his meaning.
Seeing this, Yarawachi's smile faded a little, and he reminded meaningfully: "I've already asked the guy at the inn about this matter." According to them, the missing teacups came from guests on the east seat. ”
Li Chengji's heart suddenly understood. Because the guest sitting due east is himself. immediately turned cold, and said a little impatiently: "The guest sitting in the east is me, do you think I stole the mage's teacup?" ”。
Yalawachi immediately apologized and said: "Li Gongzi is the son of the king of the county, and he will not look down on a small teacup. It's just that no one can say for sure, whether there is a person who is not long-sighted, will do such a thing. ”。
This is quite different from the previous rhetoric of Yaxing, but it is very different.
Without Li Chengji's reminder, Li Dali reprimanded angrily with a clear heart: "It's so daring! The young master treats us like a mountain, and he will not ruin the young master's reputation for a broken teacup. ”
"Humph! Your Excellency looks down on our Li Mansion too much! Although I was sitting due east, who could guarantee that when others left, they didn't take the sheep by the hand. Li Chengji asked coldly.
This singing and harmony suddenly made Yarawachi unable to laugh anymore. suppressed his anger and apologized: "Li Gongzi misunderstood!" I just ask one or two questions below, and I don't mean anything else. ”。
Without Li Chengji to speak, Li Dali, who was standing at the bottom, once again scolded very unceremoniously: "You are talking nonsense!"
Obviously suspecting that my young master stole the teacup that you don't know about Laoshzi, but he is still duplicitous and shirks it.
Is it really that my young master is a fool? At this point, he pointed to the tip of his nose and scolded: "It's funny today! The son of the dignified county king was suspicious of the cheap merchant who didn't know where to come. It's a joke. ”。
Yaravachi's face was gloomy! But it's not good to scold Li Dali. Because it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Li Chengji didn't speak, and he can't teach his subordinates a lesson.
He looked at Kombas as if begging for help, and asked him to help him say a few words.
Seeing this, Kombas was a little embarrassed and persuaded: "Don't be angry!" Yarawachi just came to ask, and did not say that the theft of the teacup was related to your young master. ”。
"Heh... Master Kombas. On weekdays, I respect you as the brother of my young master! Today, this cheap merchant humiliates my young master so much, how can you not discern the matter and defend it? ”。 Li Dali's emotions became more agitated, and his tone became more indignant.
Being said like this, it is not easy to persuade Koubas.
Li Chengji looked at it and knew that it was time for him to speak. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "I really don't know about the teacup. If the mage really cares for it, I can give the mage ten right now. ”。
Yarawachi immediately shook his head and refused: "The things of the Li Mansion don't dare to accept them." And it's just a teacup, it's not precious. But if you are blasphemed by the thieves of chickens and dogs, you will be punished by Allah. ”。
"If Allah punishes! It is also to punish the unscrupulous! This son acted in a fair and upright manner, and he thought that he would not be able to enter the eyes of Allah. ”。 Li Chengji said seriously.
It seems that it really has nothing to do with him.
Yarava Chi only glanced at Li Chengji deeply a few times, and then left with Kumbas.
Looking at the backs of them leaving, Li Dali was a little indignant and said, "Young Master." Why didn't you tell Young Master Kuan the truth? Don't reveal the sinister intentions of that guy? ”。
Li Chengji sighed, and said helplessly: "The sixth brother is now bent on seeking some skills to turn stones into gold. I'm afraid I can't listen to the words of others. ”。 Speaking of this, he seemed to remember something. He also asked Li Dali to go to the treasury and take out items worth 1,000 gold. So that it can be delivered to the province of Khobas and fulfill today's promise.
This made Li Dali even more puzzled.
Li Chengji didn't explain, just let Li Dali do it.
However, he summoned Li Wei again. Let him lead two or three guards to closely monitor the Jade Dragon Jiechi Inn's every move. If there is anything unusual, report it to yourself immediately.
He didn't believe it yet!
That group of Hu businessmen can really do this seamlessly.
In this way, the next day, the first competition of the captives also officially began.
Although Li Chengji was still worried about the matter of the fire god water, the matter of the captives could not be delayed. Overnight, a wooden platform was erected in the small courtyard where the road was closed. Fortunately, today, it comes in handy.
