Chapter 224: The Afterwave (2)
Lao Cheng's home is indeed tragic enough, it looks like Berlin after World War II, and the appearance of the house collapsing looks poignant.
Crossing the fallen walls and houses, to the backyard of the martial arts arena, there is a tent commonly used by Tang Dynasty sergeants, one of the largest Chinese military tents at the door, Cheng Lao Pi stood proudly with a straight face, and his wife Mrs. Cheng stood beside him.
"Come here, come here." As soon as Li Chengqian and his entourage entered the martial arts arena, Lao Cheng squatted down with a smile on his face and beckoned to Cheng Xiaosi.
As for Li Chengqian and others...... was directly ignored by Lao Cheng.
Fortunately, Mrs. Cheng still gave Li Chengqian a little face, politely let them into the big tent, and beckoned the maid to serve tea, otherwise Xiao Li simply didn't know where to put his face.
It wasn't until after tea time that Cheng Xiaosi ran back to find Changle and Xiaowu and others, and Lao Cheng followed his daughter and swayed in.
"Uncle Cheng licks the calf deeply, and the little nephew admires it." Looking at Lao Cheng, who was smiling at his daughter, Li Chengqian said with a smile.
"Boy, if you can speak, just say it, don't say it if you can't speak, and don't bring a gun and a stick to the old man." Lao Cheng heard the ridicule in Li Chengqian's words, and said with an ugly face.
"Uncle Cheng, my little nephew has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and he said with a gun and a stick, I'm afraid that Uncle misunderstood." Li Chengqian said at Lao Cheng's words, but the smile on his face made Lao Cheng angry.
It's just that Li Chengqian's goods are becoming more and more difficult to deal with now, and it may be useful to intimidate him in the past, but now he is holding a horizontal knife to his neck, and this kid doesn't blink an eyelid.
So Lao Cheng changed the subject, pointed to the outside of the big tent and said: "Boy, don't talk about those useless things, just talk about the old man's house, how do you plan to compensate." ”
"Compensation? I? Li Chengqian looked confused, pointed to his nose and asked.
"It's not you, is it me?" Lao Cheng said angrily.
"What does it have to do with me?" Li Chengqian spread his hands and said.
Cheng Fairy's unreasonable temperament will naturally not be without words, and he said with a bull's eye: "If you hadn't given the old man fifty trucks of fake cement, why would the old man's family be like this!" ”
"The cement is the uncle's own car, and I'm not in Chang'an, so I'm afraid it's unconvincing for the uncle to say so." Li Chengqian shook his head and resolutely refused to admit it.
said that there was no plan to give Lao Cheng fake cement at that time, and even if he really had this plan, Li Chengqian would never admit it.
"Slap" Cheng bit Jin and slapped the table, and said unreasonably: "The cement is loaded back from your charcoal division, and I don't want you to find anyone." ”
"Uncle Cheng is planning to blackmail me, right?" Li Chengqian pouted and said.
"What about you?"
"If you don't want money, you have to die, where to go from Uncle Cheng to look at it."
Cheng Biting Jin wants to play tricks, Li Chengqian naturally won't show weakness, the whole Tang Dynasty is not stingy when it comes to mixing, except for a few three or five people, he is really not afraid of anyone.
Lao Cheng was once again speechless, and after a long mouth, he finally said: "You don't have to worry about the old man impeaching you ......." ”
"If there are more lice, it will not itch, and if there are more debts, you don't have to worry, Uncle just goes, we don't want the position of the great prince." Li Chengqian rolled his eyes and said indifferently.
Lao Cheng is really speechless now, frowning, glaring, picking his noses, racking his brains and really can't think of any good way.
Li Chengqian didn't even want the position of the prince for a little cement, which clearly meant to die to the end.
After a long time, Lao Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore, gritted his teeth and said, "I said that you kid can't be a hairless, right?" Where do you put the old man's face like this? ”
Li Chengqian also felt that it was almost over, and if he pretended to be bad, Lao Cheng was afraid that he would be mad, so he accepted it when he saw it. "Fifty truckloads of cement, no more, and I have one more condition."
"Only fifty truckloads of cement? Do you still have the conditions? Lao Cheng's face was full of anger, and he felt that the whole person was not good, and the tent in winter was so wasted.
Lao Cheng slapped the table and glared at him, making Li Chengqian angry, glaring at Lao Cheng and yelling: "Then what do you want, I didn't tear down the house for you, and it has something to do with me?" Fifty cars of cement, love or not, if you want it, promise me a condition, otherwise don't talk about it. ”
Li Chengqian didn't want to know how Cheng Fairy fiddled with those cements, and even if he knew, it was useless, anyway, this old guy didn't have a good heart from the beginning, and he was afraid that he would have already started to calculate when he asked for cement.
If it weren't for the noisy voices of the two that alarmed Mrs. Cheng, I am afraid that a tearing war would really break out.
Although a hundred Li Chengqian in force is not Lao Cheng's opponent, if he is more lip service, Comrade Xiao Li is really not afraid of Cheng Fairy.
"Master, what are you talking about?" Mrs. Cheng, who was alarmed by the quarrel between the two, opened the curtain of the big tent and asked after entering the big tent.
"It's nothing, you don't understand much about some things in the court, so don't ask." Cheng Fairy waved his hand to his wife slightly embarrassed, indicating that it was nothing serious.
"Okay then, the concubine will go and see Princess Changle and a few of them." Mrs. Cheng glared at Lao Cheng, meaning that Li Chengqian couldn't understand it, it must be the eyes of a husband and wife, and it was difficult for a single Wang to understand.
After Mrs. Cheng left, Lao Cheng took a few deep breaths before he said slowly, "Tell me about your conditions." ”
"The conditions are very simple, I want to clean up the river, and the right Wuwei will send someone to help me ......."
"You ......" Lao Cheng was so angry that he almost squirted him to death with a mouthful of old blood.
The work of cleaning up the river can be big or small, but even if it is the smallest river near Chang'an, if you want to clear it, it is not enough for 18,000 people.
Now, as soon as Li Chengqian touches his mouth, he will transfer people, and he will only give 50 trucks of cement.
The shameless Cheng goblin has seen it, and he can see it every time he looks at the bronze mirror, but now Lao Cheng has found an even more shameless one, and the sense of powerlessness fills Lao Cheng's body again, and he feels that he really doesn't have much to do with this front wave.
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Cheng." The speechless old Cheng made Li Chengqian quite worried, if it weren't for the fact that the goblin's chest was still rising and falling, he would even think that he had this old thing.
Lao Cheng was called back to his soul by Li Chengqian's repeated calls, and after thinking about it, he sighed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, your fifty truckloads of cement, the old minister can't afford it, so this matter will be stopped." ”
"Uh~, Uncle Cheng, look, you can also mention any requirements you have, right? There's a bargain for this business, don't be in a hurry to refuse. Li Chengqian didn't expect Lao Cheng to be cowardly so soon, this was too unexpected for him, and he felt that he hadn't said a lot.
