Chapter Twenty-Four: Zhang Gouzi
Back in his own house, looking at the simple interior decoration, Chu Tian was also very satisfied.
Slowly walked to the window, pushed open the window, looked at the sky full of stars and the bright moon, the evening breeze blowing, Chu Tian felt that his whole state of mind was a lot more open-minded.
Compared with this vast world, I seem a little small, but it is because of my insignificance and insignificance that I feel a little safe.
I don't know how long it took, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, pulling Chu Tian's thoughts back, turning his head to look at the door, Chu Tian knew that the shopkeeper should be back.
walked over and opened the door, and sure enough, I saw the shopkeeper standing respectfully at the door, and there was a sloppy middle-aged man standing beside him.
Unkempt, his eyes were worn, he was listless, his clothes were in tatters, and there was a strong sour smell of sweat, which was disgusting.
Chu Tian looked at him, he also looked at Chu Tian, and did not shy away from Chu Tian's eyes.
"Guest officer, this is Zhang Gouzi."
"Well, you go down first."
With a wave of his hand, Chu Tian directly retired the shopkeeper, and he still didn't know what was going on.
"Come in, close the door."
After the shopkeeper left, Chu Tian turned around and entered the house by himself, and commanded Zhang Gouzi.
Although the dog had doubts, he also followed into the house, and closed the door with his backhand, Chu Tian looked a little slender, he thought that Chu Tian should not be able to beat him, and there was no place to hide people in the house, so he was not too worried that Chu Tian would be unfavorable to him.
"You have something to do with me?" After Zhang Gouzi entered the house, he couldn't wait to ask, with a hint of longing on his face.
Sleeping well at home, he was woken up by the shopkeeper, if he hadn't said that someone had something to do by himself, he would have beaten him a long time ago.
Now I don't have any money on hand, and if I don't get some money, I can only steal it.
"Are you bold enough?"
Without answering his words, Chu Tian poured a glass of water, took a sip and asked rhetorically.
He can see that this man is short of money, and he doesn't know if he is bold or not, and only the bold can earn his silver.
"Hehe, I've stolen chickens and dogs, robbed money, injured people, been in prison a few times, and I've done everything except killing people, do you think I'm bold?" Zhang Gouzi said after laughing disdainfully.
After speaking, he sat down directly in front of Chu Tian, and also gave himself a glass of water and drank it all.
A pair of eyes stared at Chu Tian, showing him his courage, and when it came to his courage, he had never been afraid of anyone.
"It's good to be bold, I'm afraid that you won't dare afterwards if you know what I want you to do." With a smile, Chu Tian said.
"Haha, there is nothing in this world that I dare not do, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly, don't waste Lao Tzu's time, Lao Tzu has to go back to sleep, I don't have time to play fun with you here." Zhang Gouzi looked at Chu Tian like this, and felt a little irritable in his heart, he hated this kind of person beating around the bush the most.
"Since you can't wait, then I'll say it, I want you to 。。。。。。 in Yamen tomorrow" Shaking his head, Chu Tian said everything he had to say.
And Zhang Gouzi stood up in shock when he heard the beginning, if he hadn't boasted about Haikou before, he would have run away.
Going against Young Master Lin in Qinglin County was simply asking for his own death, he didn't expect that this person in front of him would actually do something to Young Master Lin.
He believed that no one would dare to do this, dare to agree to Chu Tian.
After listening thoroughly, Zhang Gouzi fell into deep thought, Chu Tian was not in a hurry, he drank water by himself, and gave him time to think about it, after all, this matter must be willing.
"What do I get?" Zhang Gouzi didn't answer Chu Tian and asked for the price.
Whether things are difficult or not depends mainly on whether the value of the money is worth it, as long as the price is in place, even if it is a rebellion, why not?
"Two hundred taels"
"It's not enough for such a dangerous thing to have such a small amount of money." When he heard two hundred taels, Zhang Gouzi's eyes lit up.
However, he still suppressed the excitement in his heart and pretended to be dissatisfied with the price.
"I'm sorry, you're worth two hundred taels, and even in my opinion, giving you two hundred taels is too much, because there is no difference between having you and not having you, if you reject me, I have other ways." Chu Tian naturally wouldn't let him sit on the ground and raise the price, looking at the water cup in his hand and said lightly.
Any person can do this, and he can even choose one of Xu Tianfu's many guards.
It's just that it's more convincing to let the local people in Qinglin County do this, so that the shopkeeper can find someone for himself, even if the other party doesn't look good.
Hearing Chu Tian's words, Zhang Gouzi still refused to give up, and slapped the table and said to Chu Tian.
"Hmph, just two hundred taels will offend Young Master Lin, I'm afraid you don't know how much strength Young Master Lin has in Qinglin County, believe it or not, I just need to tell Young Master Lin about this, I can get three hundred... Four hundred taels. ”
With a smile, Chu Tian stood up with his hands on the table and looked at Zhang Gouzi's eyes and said.
"Two hundred taels, whether it is successful or not, in a word, you can leave Qinglin County immediately after you help me, two hundred taels is enough for you to change places and live again, but if you choose to go to the whistleblower, I am not sure if you can get so much silver, but I can guarantee that even if you have money, you will not have the life to spend, don't doubt this guarantee."
Chu Tian's words were already equivalent to a threat, Zhang Gouzi's face was ugly, and he felt a little chill in his back when he looked at Chu Tian's eyes.
He felt that Chu Tian's last guarantee should be true, otherwise how could he dare to deal with Lin Gongzi, he must have his own means, and after thinking for a while, Zhang Gouzi nodded and agreed.
After all, he didn't know if he could get the silver if he told Young Master Lin, in case Young Master Lin thought that he had deceived him or thought that he also had this idea, but the price was not negotiated, it was estimated that he would kill himself.
promised to promise, but Zhang Gouzi wanted to take some silver first, and he had a promise in his heart.
Chu Tian naturally had no opinion, and directly gave him a hundred taels, and his generous appearance made Zhang Gouzi's heart feel a little more stable, at least the other party was indeed rich.
Looking at the silver ticket in his hand, Zhang Gouzi was very excited, how could he have seen so much silver when he was so big.
Thinking that there was still half of the silver, he promised Chu Tian again and again that he would definitely go tomorrow.
Chu Tian smiled with satisfaction, and directly let him leave, and then took a bath and rested.
As for Zhang Gouzi's repentance, Chu Tian was not too worried, and he would kill him directly.
。。。。。。
And at this moment, in the largest house in the west of Qinglin County, in the northeast room, a young man about twenty years old is furious.
As long as the things in the house were taken and picked up, they were all smashed to the ground by him, and the ground was in a mess.
Even some antique vases were smashed to the ground by him without any distress.
And there were a few family members standing on the side, trembling, and they didn't even dare to breathe, let alone go up to persuade them.
"Li Er, that bastard hasn't come back yet?"
After smashing for a while, Jun Gongzi was also a little tired, and sat on the only healthy chair and asked angrily.
"Back to the young master, Steward Li hasn't come back yet."
The subordinate replied in fear, for fear that his young master would spill his anger on himself.
"Forget it, forget it, I went to sleep with the fifth child today, damn it, I can't spare him when Li Er comes back."
After being angry alone for a while, the young master got up and left, leaving only the family to clean up the mess.
