Chapter 121: Pawn
Zi Ye's eyes rolled, and he said, "Mr. Cai went back with the front foot, and the back foot left after the prisoner, the slave maid thought...... Those silver tickets may have been given to prisoners. ”
Gao Xueliu's face was slightly distorted, and she sneered: "The prisoner is just a guard, where is he worthy of taking seven thousand taels, it is clearly for Ye Xuemei." I just can't think of what she wants so much silver for. ”
"This slave doesn't know." Saying that, Ziye said again: "Do you want the slave to go out and inquire?" ”
"No need." Gao Xueliu stroked the delicate oleander embroidery on the placket and said slowly: "Wouldn't it be better to let others help us inquire?" ”
Camellia was the first to react, "Niangniang is talking about the princess? ”
Gao Xueliu smiled indifferently, "It's a waste to put such a good chess piece away." Camellia, don't you say? ”
Camellia stroked the red and swollen cheeks, and said: "The sandpiper and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits!" ”
Listening to their words, Ziye asked puzzledly: "Niangniang, isn't Ye Xuemei difficult to deal with?" Are you sure you want the princess to be able to deal with her? ”
Gao Xueliu's eyes flashed a trace of essence, "The princess's ability is not enough, but as long as she makes a fuss, it will be enough for us to watch the fun." Ziye understood all at this time, and said with a deep smile: "The slave will arrange it." ”
As soon as he entered the door, without waiting for the man to greet him, he immediately said: "Go and ask your shopkeeper to come out, this king has something to say to him." ”
The guy was very discerning, seeing that he was dressed extraordinarily, and he called himself the king, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said cautiously: "I don't know what this lord is called?" ”
Cai He stepped forward and said, "My lord is the current King of Ning, hurry up and call your shopkeeper out." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The man said, and hurriedly went to the backyard, and after a while, a middle-aged man with a rich figure walked in.
Cai He recognized him, and said in his ear: "Lord Wang, he is Bai Fu, the shopkeeper of Hengbao Yinhao." ”
Bai Fu came to them and said with a smile on his face: "The presence of the prince really makes the trumpet shine!" ”
"The white shopkeeper is polite, this king is here today, because he wants to ask the white shopkeeper for help. Can you take a step to speak? ”
"Absolutely." Bai Fu agreed, and led the two to a quiet room, and after the next person served tea and retreated, he asked, "I don't know what can serve the prince?" ”
Gongliang didn't go around the bend, and said straight to the point: "This king urgently needs a sum of silver, but there is not so much cash for a while, so I want to ask your account to borrow silver." ”
Bai Fu nodded and said, "I don't know how many silver taels the prince wants to borrow?" ”
Gongliang Yuzhi stretched out three fingers, "Thirty thousand taels!" Although the prisoner said that it was only 30,000 taels, he knew that 30,000 taels would not be a matter at all in the Pearl Pavilion. He has 30,000 taels here, plus the previous 7,000 taels and what Ye Xuemei has in his hand, 50,000 taels can almost stand firm there.
"Thirty thousand taels?" Rao is Bai Fu has experienced too many loans, and he was also taken aback by this number, and it took a while before he came to his senses, "The prince knows, but all silver accounts borrow silver, all things need to be pledged, I don't know what you use to pledge?" ”
Gongliang Yuzhi took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and handed them over, "This king has three manors and six hundred acres of land outside Kaifeng City. This is the deed and the land deed, please look at the white shopkeeper. ”
Bai Fu took it with both hands, and after looking at them one by one, he smiled and said: "With all due respect to the villain, the prince's manors and fields, together, can only borrow 20,000 taels at most." 30,000 taels ...... I really can't help it. ”
Gongliang Yuzhi seemed to have expected this situation, and took out a brocade box from his arms, "What about this?" ”
Bai Fu took it in his hand with a suspicious face, and opened the brocade box, which did not contain the treasures he imagined, only a small gilt seal, which was engraved with the words "Prince Rong's seal".
Seeing the inscription on it, Bai Fu's hands trembled, and he hurriedly put it back in the box and handed it back to Gongliang Yuzhi, "The trumpet never dares to accept this thing, please take it back." ”
Cai He also saw the inscription on the seal clearly, and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, how can you use this seal as collateral?" This must not be! ”
This seal represents the status of the prince of public conscience, and if anyone knows that he actually used this thing as a mortgage to borrow silver, he will definitely go to His Majesty to tell it.
Gongliang Yuzhi ignored him, staring at Bai Fu who was full of panic, "Since this king has taken it out, there is no reason to take it back, and I believe that this seal is worth 10,000 silver." ”
"It's enough, but this thing, the trumpet really doesn't dare to accept it! Lord Wang, don't embarrass the villain. ”
"If it weren't for the last resort, this king would not come here, and please ask the white shopkeeper to help this king." As he spoke, Gongliang stopped and bowed to Bai Fu, making Bai Fu not know what to do.
Bai Fu pondered for a long time and said: "It's better to be like this, the villain will collect these few house deeds at a price two percent higher than the market price, that is, 24,000 taels." "This price is almost the actual price of these manor fields, once the public good words do not come to redeem it, Hanbao Silver can barely recover the capital.
Cai He stepped forward and persuaded: "Lord Wang, twenty-four thousand taels is a lot, it's better to ...... So be it. ”
"This king knows what he knows, and you don't have to say much." After Cai He retreated, Gongliang said again: "This king knows what the white shopkeeper is worried about, within a month, this king will come to redeem the seal, and the interest will be a lot." ”
"That's not what the villain meant, it's just ...... There's really no such rule! ”
"This king knows that this matter is embarrassing for the white shopkeeper, but the matter is urgent, and he hopes that the white shopkeeper will be accommodating. This favor will definitely be remembered by this king! As he spoke, he saluted Bai Fu again.
Bai Fu hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, sighed, and said helplessly: "That's it, the villain can help with this." ”
His words made Gongliang Yu show a touch of joy, "Thank you for the white shopkeeper." ”
"Wait a minute, Lord Wang." After saying this, Bai Fu walked out, and when he came back, he had an extra stack of silver tickets in his hand, one thousand taels each, a full thirty. Although there are a lot of silver numbers in Kaifeng City, there is only one Hanbao silver number that can take out tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets at any time, which is also the reason why Gongliang Yuzhi chose to come here.
After the end of Gongliangyu was calculated, Bai Fu took the brocade box with the seal again and handed it to Gongliangyuzhi, "Thirty thousand taels of silver tickets should be those of the house deed and land deed as silver, this seal, please take it back." ”
His words surprised Gongliang, "Those manors and fields are not worth as much as 30,000 taels. ”
Bai Fu smiled: "With the name of the prince, isn't it worth 30,000 taels?" ”
Gongliang understood that he was deliberately selling favors to himself, and immediately nodded and said, "Thank you for the white shopkeeper." ”
