Chapter 32: Salvation is coming
"Poor...... How much worse? As if he hadn't heard clearly, the fat shopkeeper hurriedly asked again.
"Twelve taels off!" Wang Bi obviously gritted his teeth before saying this.
Chen Le was stunned when he heard this sentence in the small flower hall, and then his eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, this Wang Bi only had eight taels of silver on his body, so he dared to come to Xiuselou to eat, and he didn't know if he was too bold or too stupid.
The fat shopkeeper laughed dryly and said, "Wang Gongzi is not joking with the little one!" ”
"It's definitely not a joke, the shopkeeper doesn't think it's as good as this, I'll give you the eight taels of silver first, and I don't need you to wipe the remaining twelve taels, I'll make an IOU, and I'll send it to you in a few days, I guarantee with the reputation of Langya Wang, and I will definitely not pay it back!" Wang Bi swore that it was authentic.
"Hmph, someone's coming!" The shopkeeper's tone suddenly became cold.
I could only hear the sound of "hulala" footsteps downstairs, and then Chen Le felt that a lot of people came up from below, and these people made a sound of metal colliding, obviously all of them were armed with weapons.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing here, can I still lie to you by my children of the Langya Wang family?" Wang Bi's voice was obviously a little flustered.
"Yes, the shopkeeper, we are still students of the Jixia School Palace, and we definitely won't owe money and not pay it back!" Huang Can's voice also came out in a panic.
"Hmph, how many of you are here to open your mouths Langya Wang Clan's disciples, shut up and lower the disciples of the Academy, do you have a certificate?" The fat shopkeeper sneered.
"We ......"
Before the assessment, all the proof things on their bodies except for the road guide were taken away by the teaching of the school palace, not to mention which child they were proving, even if they were students of the school palace, it was impossible!
"Okay, a group of thieves who cheat and cheat on food and drink actually hit the head of our Liang Zeng family with their ideas, it's really bold!" The fat shopkeeper's voice became gloomy, if you want to be a shopkeeper in this world, you can't do it with a soft face and a weak heart, the shopkeeper in the business outside the Zeng family used to be the generals within the family, all of them are extremely shrewd, and they have never seen any big battles!
"Arrest these people for me, and I don't have to send them to the government, the men will send me to our mine to work for three years, and the women will be sent to Goolan Courtyard to sing songs for three years, and then let them out after paying off the debts!"
"Ah, how dare you...... Oops, beat me to death......"
When Chen Le heard this in the private room, he knew that he couldn't sit idly by anymore, if there were no Luo Yao and Shangguan Qian in this group, he would definitely look on coldly, but Luo Yao had a reason to guide him, Shangguan Qian was a member of the Xuan-level students, and he couldn't do anything if something happened to these two people.
With a "squeak", Chen Le pushed open the door of the small flower hall.
"Ahem, what's going on outside? Why is it so noisy? Chen Le coughed lightly, walked out with his hands behind his back, and walked out indifferently.
"Ah, Childe, I'm bothering you, the little one really deserves to die!" The fat shopkeeper's fierce face immediately turned into kind eyebrows and kind eyes, amiable.
Chen Le looked at the five or six knife-wielding men behind the fat shopkeeper, and then at the private room with the door open.
There are six people in the private room, Wang Bi's face is pale at the moment, his arms tremble slightly, his palms are clenched on the side of the table, and the bones are white, Huang Can is similar to him, with a panicked look, holding the corner of the table.
The four girls hid in the corner, although they were not shivering, but they were also at a loss.
"Chen Qingzhi ......" Wang Bi shouted first: "You, why are you here?" ”
"Yo, isn't this Senior Brother Wang Biwang? What are you ......" Chen Le blinked, with a look that he didn't understand why a few people appeared here.
"We ......" Wang Bi was a little speechless, his eyes flashed: "Chen Qingzhi, what are you doing here?" ”
"Me? Of course I'm eating here, but you're also eating here, Senior Brother? But this ......" Chen Le glanced at the knife-wielding man behind the fat shopkeeper with a puzzled face, touched his chin and said.
"I, you ......" Wang Bi can't wait to find a crack to get into at this moment, it's embarrassing, especially in front of Chen Qingzhi, although he is one of the very few people in the school palace who knows Chen Le's true identity, but the more this is the case, the more sad he is!
The Langya Wang clan is now powerful, so he is more and more dissatisfied with the Qi Wang Chen clan, even if Chen Le's identity is a member of the royal family, but Wang Bi has never looked down on it, but at this moment, he has to bow his head, because he keenly found that in the words of the shopkeeper of Xiu Selou just now, he seems to have great respect for Chen Le, which is like encountering a straw in the sea, so that Wang Bi can't help but ignite a glimmer of hope even if he doesn't like Chen Le in his heart.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?" Chen Le frowned and asked.
"Hui Gongzi, these people are liars!" The shopkeeper clearly felt that Chen Le was quietly winking at him: "You see that they look like dogs, they are all born well, and they also say that they are scholars, but they don't give money for eating!" ”
"What? Don't pay for meals? Chen Le immediately looked taken aback, and then hurriedly shook his head: "Impossible, impossible, you must be mistaken, I know these people, I will never eat without paying!" ”
When Wang Bi heard this, he was moved in his heart, although he didn't like this Chen Le, but Chen Le's words were simply his confidant!
"Childe, I'm not mistaken, it seems that this person is the one who has a treat among these people!" The fat shopkeeper stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Bi: "They spent twenty taels of silver on dinner, but there are only eight taels on them, I have been in charge of this Xiu Selou for so many years, and I have never encountered such a thing!" ”
Wang Bi couldn't wait to step forward and strangle the fat shopkeeper, and when Lao Tzu went back, he would definitely hire a ranger assassin to kill your fat ball!
"And this son actually said that he is a disciple of the Langya Wang clan and a student of the Jixia School Palace, so I don't believe it even more, son, where is there a child of a family who goes out with eight taels of silver?" The fat shopkeeper was very cooperative with Chen Le and said rhythmically.
Chen Le glanced at him, this fat shopkeeper is a talent, but also, there are countless servants among the big lords of the family, and if they want to stand out and make a fat shortage in the outside business field, they are undoubtedly some exquisite and transparent characters.
He coughed lightly: "Shopkeeper, can you tell me again how much money they ate?" ”
The fat shopkeeper showed a look of disdain: "Hui Gongzi, only twenty taels!" ”
Chen Le smiled slightly when he heard this: "You see this is good, I know these people, you don't have to make a big deal, their food money will be recorded in my account." Chen Le said lightly, but when he heard Wang Bi Huang Can's heart, it was like thunder, Chen Qingzhi was actually able to keep accounts in the restaurant opened by Liang Zeng's family? What a face-saving thing to do!
