Even if his words are true and false, how could Chen Rui not guess the truth?

Wine can strengthen courage, but it can also make mistakes, but what Chen Rui didn't expect was that the aroma of wine could make him eat leopard gall and forget his troubles......

I really underestimated the allure of spirits to the ancient good drinkers, and saw that he was so sincere...... For the sake of liking his wine, Chen Rui decided not to bother with him, stretched out his slap and shook it in front of his eyes, looking very magnanimous.

The middle-aged man swallowed his saliva, and said in a trembling voice: "Five... Five hundred taels? ”

Chen Rui was stunned and shook his head, he only needs fifty taels, just two jars of wine, how can he charge as much as five hundred taels, isn't that a pit person? He couldn't do anything like that.

"Five thousand taels?" The middle-aged man's voice suddenly rose, and all his belongings didn't add up to five thousand taels!

Chen Rui's eyes widened, with an incredible look, and then nodded without hesitation, it doesn't matter if you have money or not, the important thing is not to let the local tyrant lose face.

You must know that the things that can be solved with money are trivial things for local tyrants, and they are completely worthless compared to face, and Chen Rui feels that local tyrants are the same regardless of national boundaries and eras, when they spend a lot of money, if they don't collect their money, it will be a slap in their face and not give them face, and Chen Rui can't do such a thing that he doesn't know how to lift.

"No," the middle-aged man tilted his head, looking like he was being killed, as if to say that even if you kill me, I won't, to show his determination.

Chen Rui's mood that had just improved has deteriorated again, it was you who said that you would give me five thousand taels, but it was not what I said. Don't talk about morality at all, I give you face, but you don't even give me face at all? Do people like you mingle in the rivers and lakes?

"Huh!" sneered: "Broke into my house, stole my wine, and wanted to repay the debt, I'm afraid you don't know whose territory this is, what are the consequences of daring Tai Sui to break ground on his head!" ”

"Xiao Lao'er doesn't want to repay the debt, but this is no different from robbery."

"You're right, I'm robbing, why don't you rob the door?" Chen Rui said viciously.

It doesn't matter if it's five thousand taels or not five thousand taels, the important thing is face, now it's not about money, it's about face, if he doesn't give these five thousand taels, he won't give me face.

The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, as if he had thought of something, and then showed a look of disbelief and said, "Are you the bandit?" ”

Yes, yes, if he wasn't a bandit, how could the carriage that was stolen by the bandits be outside his house? If he wasn't a bandit, why did the look and voice give him a sense of familiarity?

"Just now? You guys are so daring! Dare to come to my house to spread the wilderness, because you think my knife is not scary enough? Or do you think I'm kind and easy to deceive? ”

"Although you are a stupid thief, you can't match benevolence," the middle-aged man couldn't help but slander in his heart, but after learning that he was a thief, he was not afraid.

Because if he is a common citizen of Chu State, he is trespassing on private houses and burglarizing, if he reports to the official, these two crimes are enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention that he will be beaten dozens of boards and imprisoned for several years. And if he is a bandit, he doesn't have to worry about it, the thief can't go to the official, right? Will the official arrest him first or arrest me first? Moreover, the laws of the Chu State do not protect the bandits, so his two crimes are not established at all.

is saying that this thief makes him afraid of his strong body and the big knife in his hand, but now the big knife is not in his hand, and the strong body shape is also camouflaged, even if there are two of them, but what is the use? The arms of the two of them are not as thick as his arms, and there are also two of them on his side, what are you afraid of?

Immediately, he was full of confidence, stood up and patted the dust on his body leisurely, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the king, disrespectful, disrespectful, the king's wine is the best wine I have ever drunk, and the little old man is lucky to be able to drink such a fine wine!" Thank you for the king's hospitality, the little old man still has important matters, so he will leave first, and come to thank you in the future. ”

"This man can't be crazy, right?" Seeing that he really walked out with the coachman like this, Chen Rui said loudly: "Stop." ”

"Is there anything else to do with the king? Do you still have a good wine to entertain the little old man? It's a pity, it's a pity, the little old man still has important things, so he can only live up to the king's kindness. ”

"Smack!" "Smack!" "Bang!" ……

Looking at his smug face, Chen Rui couldn't bear it, and rushed up to beat him violently, scolding while beating: "Are you gracious!" Treat you! You dog thief..."

How could the middle-aged man have thought that this thin-looking young man would have such force, and his body, which was almost twice as big as him, was powerless in front of him, and he was instantly beaten and screamed.

"Do you dare to be arrogant? Do you still dare to drink overlord wine? Do you still dare to defy Lao Tzu? "Chen Rui is unforgiving in his hands, and he is also unforgiving in his mouth.

"The king spares his life, spares his life, I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore."

"Ah...... Don't slap your face, don't slap your face! The little ones really don't dare. ”

"Five thousand taels!"

Chen Rui stopped, feeling refreshed for a while, and the air was fresh.

The middle-aged man stood up tremblingly with the support of the coachman, before he was only a little ragged, but now he was not only ragged, but also had messy hair and beard, and his face was also blue and purple, looking so pitiful.

He turned his head to look at the coachman, found him intact, was extremely dissatisfied, and asked aloud, "Why are you all right?" ”

The coachman lowered his head and whispered: "It was the shopkeeper who taught me to be humble and restrained in life." ”

“……”

Chen Rui stretched out his hand and said, "Take it!" Five thousand taels. ”

"I don't have five thousand taels," seeing Chen Rui's momentum about to fight, he hurriedly said: "Don't don't, don't don't, the king will listen to me." ”

"Say."

"Although I don't have five thousand taels, I can earn five thousand taels, no, it's fifty thousand taels, or even five hundred thousand taels, but this requires the help of the king."

"Wine?" Chen Rui frowned.

"The wisdom of the king is far beyond ordinary people! Yes, wine. He couldn't help but scold the eighteenth generation ancestor of the person who misreported the news and said that this thief was a "stupid thief" in his heart again.

Then he said: "Let's partner, the king only needs to give the wine, or the recipe to the little old man, everything else has his own little old man, the little old man promises, such a good wine, will be able to make a lot of money, when we pour fifty-fifty, the king has money and does not have to live this life of licking blood, you can even go down the mountain to buy a mansion, find some maids to serve; And with the appearance of the king, it is not a problem to marry a beautiful lady like a flower, and it is not beautiful to accept a concubine with three or five rooms, enjoy the blessings of all people and receive a steady stream of money at the same time? ”

"First, I can do it myself, so why should I partner with you? Second, why should I believe you? ”

"King, you are a bandit, you should understand that if you want to be a good bandit, you must not only have a sharp knife, but also good skills; And this is also a reason for doing business, not only to have good goods, but also to do business, in order to gain a foothold in the mall, in order to make money, otherwise it will only be swallowed by people and there will be no slag left. ”

"You mean I don't know how to do business?"

"Hehe, the king doesn't know how to do business, but the little old man has not only been immersed in this road for many years, but he has gained a little, although he has not become a rich businessman, he has also made a lot of money, and he is also engaged in wine trading, which can be described as unique. And these mundane things are handed over to the little old man, and the king does not have to bother with these mundane things, and enjoys the blessings with peace of mind, isn't it beautiful? ”

"I'm saying, it's better for people like you not to touch the affairs of merchants, after all, merchants... The status of a merchant is low! He sighed.

Shinong businessmen, even if the merchant eats delicacies from the mountains and seas and lives in a luxurious mansion, but his status is only a little higher than that humble servant, Chen Rui still knows this, even if the history of this world is different from the world he is familiar with.

Chen Rui is a little moved, what is the highest level of making money? Just let others help you make money, nodded and said, "What you said is not unreasonable, but why should I believe you?" How do you know you won't kick me away after you trick me into the formula? ”

"Written evidence!" He said with a sneer: "The little old man has a daughter, twenty-eight years old, beautiful as a flower, is a famous little beauty for a hundred miles, if the king still does not believe in the little old man, the little girl will be given to the king to be a concubine." ”
