Chapter 59: Digging into the Corner
Lao Yu played a whip, the crisp whip exploded in the air, and the carriage left the Jiedu Embassy and slowly drove towards the direction of the Horse Bridge.
The carriage passed through the night, the night sky was clear, there was not a single cloud in the sky, a full moon sailed in the endless blue sea, and the lonely scattered the cold light, and the ground and the tiles were dyed with a layer of silver white.
The night was very quiet, the road was deserted, occasionally a few drunk people, staggered away with their shoulders, unconsciously, in Zhang Qiu and Qiong's house has been in two hours, Zhang Qiu and Qiong finally accepted him, this is what he has been looking forward to for a long time, when he finally got his wish, but his heart became lost and empty, Li Qing suddenly felt a little tired, a little tired, he missed the days of Yilong and Langzhou, although he was busy at that time, it was a happy mood to watch the money jar increase every day, carefree, and now he has ten thousand assets, But the happiness is gone, the carefree is gone, the wealth has become a mountain, and it weighs heavily on him, he feels as if he is slowly becoming a slave to money, and the Hai family is pressing every step of the way, so that he can't breathe.
"I don't know how the curtain is now." Li Qing's heart suddenly gave birth to a longing for home.
The car shook for a while, and he had already driven onto the horse bridge, through the car window, he saw the Wangjiang Restaurant again, the lights were brilliant, and he could faintly hear the noisy voices at the gate, and his thoughts were immediately dragged back to reality, "There are only five days, and I have to hurry." ”
After a few more steps, the carriage stopped, and Lao Yu's slightly hoarse voice came from in front.
"Proprietor! Someone stopped the car in front, as if it was still the Hai family. ”
Li Qing looked over, and under the moonlight, it was really Haizhongtian waving his arms desperately.
"Let him get in the car!"
Li Qing smiled slightly, it seemed that the matter he had given to Zhang Wang had been completed.
The car door opened, Hai Zhongtian dragged his fat body and climbed into the car awkwardly, glanced at Li Qing timidly, and lowered his head in the corner without saying a word.
"What? Isn't 200 dollars enough for an overnight stay? ”
Haizhongtian did not say anything, but his head was lowered, he rushed to the Jade Building, and gave the silver two to the old bustard, and the old bustard responded to give Yanru to him, just when the two of them drank Hehuan wine, Lang Qing concubine, the old bustard suddenly turned his face and broke in, saying that a big businessman in Langzhong asked someone to pass the word, and wanted to buy Yanru with six hundred yuan, and asked him to leave unless he took out six hundred yuan within three days, otherwise he would leave, Yanru pulled him, his eyes were sad, Haizhongtian's heart was broken, and he immediately gritted his teeth and responded, but he asked him to take out another four hundred yuan, in addition to borrowing money from Li Qing, What else could he do.
"I'd like to borrow another 400 guan." The voice is as low as mosquito language.
Li Qing glanced at him, he knew that this person must not be fishy tonight, he ordered Zhang Wang to ruin his good deeds, Xu 600 yuan to redeem the woman, and placed a deposit of 100 yuan, thinking that the old bustard would not recognize the money and people, so he would naturally turn his face and deny the account.
"Borrow another 400 yuan, you said it so easily, do you know that these 400 yuan can be used for ordinary people for too many teenagers, are you here to mint money?"
"I'll definitely pay you back!" Haizhongtian raised his head suddenly, and there was a faint tear in his eyes, "I want to redeem Yanru, can I not let her be ruined by other men again." ”
Li Qing saw that he was depressed and pitiful, and suddenly felt a trace of compassion in his heart, but this trace of compassion was fleeting.
"Hai Gongzi, it's not that I don't believe you, do you know that you have asked me how much money I borrowed?" He took out the yellow silk bag from his arms, took out six IOUs and said: "This is already as many as a thousand, the previous ten and twenty times I will send you as a friend, but this thousand, what should you say, at least you have to give me a time to repay the money, what to pay me back, otherwise, don't blame me for reporting to the official, don't blame me for going to the house to ask for it!" ”
Hai Zhongtian's face turned pale, as if he had fallen from the clouds with one foot in the air, "A thousand times!" He exclaimed in a low voice, and unconsciously touched the IOU, but was quickly taken away by Li Qing, and the sky froze there in the sea, at this moment, it suddenly didn't matter whether Yan was dead or alive, his heart sank into the abyss, and his mind was filled with this sky-high foreign debt.
"A thousand! How do you want me to pay it back?. He called himself Hai Dashao outside, but he was actually the appendix of the Hai family, only ten times a month, and he had to support his wife and children, how many years would he have to go for this thousand times, and big drops of sweat flowed down his pumpkin face.
"Can you give me a few more days, I'll think of a way!"
He begged in a low voice, this matter must not be known to the uncle, if he knew that he was friendly with Li Qing, he would have to break his legs, Hai Zhongtian is a stupid person to women, it is also caused by strong endocrine, but in other aspects his IQ is normal, he has heard of the grievances between the Hai family and Li Qing recently, but he can't get rid of Li Qing's temptation of his money, just like drugs in later generations, knowing that it is harmful, but he can't leave.
He held his head and thought hard, the lady's jewelry could be used as some, and he could steal a little from his father's private money, but this was only a hundred at most, not even one percent.
Li Qing saw that his face was uncertain, so his tone softened slightly, and said slowly: "It stands to reason that we are friends, I shouldn't force you like this, but I work so hard to make money, but you go to the golden cave to spend all day drinking, when did I think about it, when did I think about it, when did I be your friend!" ”
Hai Zhongtian's face changed several times, but this time it turned red, 'Friend! He has never been a man who is his friend, he only has a confidante in his heart, yes! He suddenly remembered the rumors in the Qinglou today, the Hai family won a big victory in the business battle with Wangjiang Restaurant, it must be so.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Brother Li, although I am a member of the Hai family, the business of the Hai family has nothing to do with me. ”
Li Qing sighed softly, "We are friends, what I said just now was too much, I apologize to you, but I really can't turn over the funds, your Hai family has forced me to have no way out, otherwise I wouldn't ask you for money, I also know that you don't have money, but if you can do me a small favor, I will give you a few more months of grace for this money." ”
"What's the busy?" Hai Zhongtian's voice was already trembling.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, your Haijia slush is good and cheap, I want to see how it is done, I wonder if you can take a guy of mine to go in and walk around and gain a little experience."
He tried his best to say this matter in an understatement tone, but Hai Zhongtian immediately heard the taste, and took the competitors of the Hai family to steal the master to learn art, where is this trivial matter, he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word, and after a while, he said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that the Hai family has strict rules, I'm afraid I also have a weak heart." ”
"Humph!" Li Qing snorted coldly, he already knew that it was impossible for Hai Zhongtian to do this, so he just opened the price a little higher first.
"That's good! I don't embarrass you, you go back and draw a picture and tell me the specific location of the slush factory, and that's it! ”
Li Qing saw that Hai Zhongtian's face was embarrassed again, and suddenly his eyes were cold, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he shouted: "Are you begging you when I am me?" I'm telling you, if you don't send the map by this time tomorrow, I'll go to your house in person to ask for money, see if Heilan doesn't break your dog's legs, if you don't believe it, you can try it, now, you get out of me! ”
Hai Zhongtian was frightened by the fierce light in Li Qing's eyes, he rushed out of the car with a roll, ran seven or eight steps before looking back, the palpitations in his heart were not gone, his legs trembled, he watched the carriage drive away, he had no choice but to walk back with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and before he took a few steps, he heard the carriage behind him return, and Li Qing's sneer came from his ears: "Your confidante is waiting for you to redeem himself!" I will give you two hundred taels of silver first, and if you are a believer, it will not hurt me to pluck out two hundred taels from between your teeth and give it to you. ”
Hai Zhongtian stopped, his whole body was trembling slightly, he turned his head suddenly, looked at the two ingots of silver with white flowers on the ground, and the light slowly released from his confused and godless eyes.
