Chapter 52: I Can't Live Anymore
Yang Zhen still hung his head and wrote and painted there, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and pulled the ticket in front of him, glanced at it, and muttered and scolded: "These lazy people who only know how to eat but don't know how to do it, and they don't write anything, and they will inevitably have to reprimand me when they check it out!" Damn, I'm like a son, I have to wipe my ass every day for these bastards. As he spoke, he took a pen and wrote in the blank space of the ticket. After writing it, he read it carefully again, and said, "It turns out that I should pay so much!" ”
He glanced up at Li Daning, smiled, and said kindly: "Old man? Why did you pick up your order today? ”
The second monk Li Daning was puzzled, and said secretly: "I only got the goods detained today, and I came to pick them up today, why did Ku Lao say why did I come to pick up the goods today?" It's like my goods have been held for days! Said: "What do you mean by this, Master Ku?" Please forgive the villain for being stupid and not understanding. ”
Yang Zhen smiled and pointed to the circle and fingerprint on the ticket, and said politely: "Old man, this is the handprint you drew to press it!" ”
Li Daning nodded.
Yang Zhen said: "Since you admit it, then it's right." You see, it is clearly written on the top that the goods withheld are stone lions and other things, a total of more than 100 pieces, and the date is the third day of June in the 14th year of Zhengde. What day is it? Today is the seventh day of the seventh month of the sixteenth year of Zhengde, which means that your goods have been seized for two years, another month and four days, that is, seven hundred and sixty-four days. Your goods are stored with us for one day for two hundred yuan, and seven hundred and sixty-four days is one hundred and fifty-two thousand eight hundred yuan. One hundred and fifty-two taels and eight dollars. ”
He paused, and then said: "Old man, don't say that I don't take care of you, I'll wipe you with a fraction, just give one hundred and fifty taels." ”
Li Daning was as if he had been struck by lightning, and the whole person was stunned and couldn't move. He wanted to explain to Yang Zhen that his goods were only detained today, but just now Yang Zhen took the ticket and asked him what he meant? The so-called empty words are based on words, and they have drawn their own charges, what else is there to say!
Who is to blame for today's incident? Blame him for not being literate? If you are literate, you should stop it immediately if the date Yang Zhen wrote is wrong. It's no wonder that they are illiterate! It's only to blame that he is reluctant to give up 200 yuan, if he had given those two men 200 yuan earlier, how could there be a disaster now! One hundred and fifty taels, where to find it! Before my son's store opened, he was burdened with such a huge debt, and he couldn't pay it back for the rest of his life! There are more than 100 pieces of stone carvings, all of which the villagers believe that he owes on credit first, and he really has to pay according to the pre-negotiated payment, how can he do it without two or three thousand taels?
Li Daning was like falling into an ice cave, only to feel that the sky was spinning, thinking of asking Ma Kun for help, and thinking of waiting for Zheng Haoran to bring someone to talk. But Wang Wu's hands and eyes are all over the sky, and his path is extremely wide, which can not only make Ku Laoyan obey his plans, but I am afraid that the people he is looking for with Ma Kun and Zheng Haoran are also friends, is their relationship as hard as Wang Wu's? His son has only been in the county seat for a few days, and Zheng Haoran has only been saving up for a few days, how can he compare to Wang Wu, who has deep roots and leaves? There is no way to live, the sky is falling, I can only beg the old man Ku to raise his noble hand and let them live!
Li Daning burst into tears, and was about to kneel on the ground as soon as his knees became weak. Suddenly, there was a strong hand that held him and prevented him from kneeling. He looked back, stretched out his fist and hit himself in the head, crying, "Son, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" ”
Li Feibai said: "Dad, don't cry, there is me!" ”
Yang Zhen cocked Erlang's legs and said with a smile: "Old man, crying can't solve the problem, let's go back and raise money quickly!" However, your goods have been stored with us for too long, and any further storage is not the solution. Well, I'll give you three days, and if we don't have any money within three days, we'll resell the goods. ”
Li Feibai said: "How long have our goods been stored here, there are many people coming and going from south to north every day in front of the Xida Warehouse, and the old man of the library will not think that they are all blind, no one will see it, right?" If you do this, aren't you afraid that we will find someone to witness? ”
Yang Zhen snorted coldly: "Human witness? He shook the ticket in his hand and said, "Your father has drawn a handprint, let's try a lawsuit, and see if the county commander believes the human certificate or the ticket in my hand!" He paused for a moment, and then said: "Young man, the so-called people don't fight with the officials, and if you can't win this lawsuit, it's better to save some effort and money, and go back and find a way to raise money!" ”
Li Feibai said: "Yang Ku Lao does this, aren't you afraid that the horse leader will trouble you?" ”
Yang Zhen said: "What do you mean by this?" I'm on business, why is the horse leader bothering me? Young people, don't think that if you hug a little leg, you should hug a thick leg. He has just risen to save points, and it is right to know the leader of the horse, but the leader of the horse knows him or not, so he has to say two! ”
Li Feibai said with a smile: "Yang Ku is really a noble person who forgets things, don't you remember that we drank wine in Tianxiang Building two days ago?" ”
Yang Zhen said: "I drank with you? Which onion and garlic are you, why should I drink with you! ”
Li Feibai said: "Since Ku Lao said so, then I will leave first." Wait a while, let the horse leader come and tell you in person! ”
Yang Zhen suddenly remembered that he had indeed drunk wine in Tianxianglou two days ago, and he had also toasted Ma Kun, and there were two people sitting with Leader Ma at that time, one of the young people seemed to be from a lot of background, and Leader Ma was very respectful to him. At that time, he thought that if he befriended this young man, his future was limitless, but he had no chance. I wanted to inquire about the young man's whereabouts, but the leader of the horse didn't say anything.
After Li Feibai entered the house, he kept standing with his back to the sun. Yang Zhen woke up with a hangover again, and only saw a black shadow, so big that he could see that it was a young man, but his face could not be seen clearly. However, he heard from Li Daning's words that Li Feibai was Li Daning's son, and he didn't pay attention to the son of a head of the armor, so he didn't look at it deliberately, and his attention was all on Li Daning.
At this time, Li Feibai turned around to leave, and the sunlight hit his face, which also made Yang Zhen see his appearance clearly.
Yang Zhen was taken aback: "Isn't this the young man that Ma Kun deliberately stammered!" His hangover woke up immediately, and his clothes were instantly wet in a cold sweat. Today I am really blinded by lard, and if I offend such a lord, how can I live in the future! It shouldn't be the children of high-ranking officials in the government or province who came to Jiyuan County to do business! But why does Li Daning call it a child? This relationship is a bit incomprehensible, but Ma Kun deliberately stammered the master, which is what he can offend as a library elder! He hurriedly shouted, "Son, please stay!" ”
From the moment Yang Zhen raised his face, Li Feibai recognized Yang Zhen as the old Guo who had invited him to treat him that day and met the master on the stairs. Looking at his flattery to Ma Kun and his anxiety about wanting to make friends with himself but not having a way, he knew that today's matter was eighty percent sure to be solved. Sure enough, when Yang Zhen saw who he was, he immediately let him stay, and he was 100% sure of the solution of today's matter. Of course, he can ask Ma Kun to solve this matter, but if he can solve it himself, why should he owe Ma Kun a favor.
Li Feibai turned around and said with a smile: "What, is there anything else to do with Old Ku?" ”
Yang Zhen said: "Look at my eyes, you should really dig them out and throw them away." Why are you so blind that you don't recognize your son! ”
Li Feibai said: "I'm not a son, nor a master, just a businessman who does small business." It's normal that Ku Lao didn't recognize it, and if it's okay, I'll have to go back and raise money quickly. ”
Yang Zhen shook his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Son, don't play with the little one, how dare the little one take your money!" ”
Li Feibai pointed to the ticket on the table and said, "My father has drawn a pledge, and he can't win the lawsuit if he goes to the Yamen, so I'd better go back and raise money for you!" ”
Yang Zhen hurriedly tore the ticket to shreds and said, "Son-in-law, forgive me, I just made a joke with the old lady!" ”
Li Feibai said with a calm face: "It's really just a joke? ”
Yang Zhen's heart trembled, and he knelt down involuntarily, and said, "It's really just a joke, if there is a lie, there will be five thunderstorms in the sky." ”
Li Feibai said: "Then we can take the goods away!" ”
Yang Zhen said: "Yes, yes!" ”
