Chapter 84: Can't Find Money
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and on the long dark street, only the torches in front of the Qunying Building were lit. Before anyone from the People's Army could react to what was happening, the team of officials who were leading the trial had already intervened.
"What's going on?" The judge asked with a calm face.
Yuan Xi saw him with such an expression during the day, as if he was arguing with someone, crying with a sad face. He grabbed Yuan Xi's hand, put on the appearance of a parent official, completely put aside the restaurant owner, and directly faced Yuan Xi's face, his eyes staring at him.
The owner of the restaurant said on the side: "This guest officer didn't pay after eating, I stopped them and didn't let them go, so they raised their fists and beat people." Juan Daren, you must be the master of the small people. ”
Immediately, the members of the People's Army outside shouted.
"You say we don't pay? It's just nonsense......"
"Open your dog's eyes and see, who is this?"
"We haven't beaten anyone yet, he will sue the wicked first."
The trial didn't seem to hear the protests of the people's army at all, and turned to Yuan Xi and said, "Is there such a thing?" ”
Yuan Xi said: "The judge came in time, I just came out after eating, and I met you, are you leading the patrol?" So coincidentally? ”
The trial was slightly stunned, and immediately said: "The front-line war is tense, and I have been ordered by Duke Yuan, so I naturally have to be diligent in my duties, and it is also within my duty to lead troops to patrol." This is not bothering the second son, but as soon as the second son returned to Yecheng, he brought his troops to drink and have fun, which really made the front-line soldiers cold. Of course, this official can't control it. It's just that there are rules for doing business, the second son eats his family's things, he should settle the money, if he doesn't settle the money, just pat his ass and leave, isn't it no different from a thief? ”
Before he finished speaking, someone immediately shouted: "This dog officer, who is the thief......
Yuan Xi raised his hand and pressed down to stop everyone's noise, and then said: "It's not that I don't pay, it's just that this account is on credit first, and then settled by Yuan's mansion." I have inquired, this way is the custom, last month the third prince also operated in this way, and you Qunyinglou also accepted this way. Why is it that when it comes to me, it doesn't work again? Do you look down on me, the second son? ”
The owner of the restaurant hurriedly said: "How dare the villain look down on the second son, it's just ...... It's just ......" He was speechless for a moment.
The people's army had long looked at him unpleasantly, and at this time they shouted: "Just what? Say yes. ”
The judge said: "I'll say a fair word on behalf of Qunyinglou, is it that the second son has too many people and eats a lot, so you are worried that the capital turnover will not be able to come, so you ask for on-site settlement?" ”
The restaurant owner seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and nodded again and again: "Exactly, exactly, that's what the villain means." The judge really got to the point and said the villain's heart. ”
Without waiting for Yuan Xi to speak, the judge looked around again and said, "Second son, I'm afraid you people are not as simple as eating. If they go to the camp first and gather together to eat, they should also use military salaries, how can they use the expenses of the Yuan Mansion? But if it's a military salary, go to a place like Qunying Building to eat meat, how should this be calculated? ”
What he meant was that these soldiers should stay in the camp and eat military rations, so how could they be brought to the downtown for dinner. In short, combined with the consistent cold expression of the judge, it was said that it was leaky, and the way for him to take credit in the name of the Yuan Mansion was also blocked.
Someone immediately shouted: "Can't Lao Tzu come to eat in this kind of place?" You look down on us soldiers, don't you? ”
For a while, the crowd was furious, and if it hadn't been for more than a dozen officials to stop them, they would have rushed up and beaten people a long time ago. These people drank a little wine and were dizzy, but fortunately, Lu Fang and several platoon commanders discovered the situation in time and stopped a few thorns first according to the instructions.
Yuan Xi said: "I'm just inviting guests to dinner privately." There is no rule that the soldiers must be in the barracks. They are all soldiers who have made meritorious contributions on the front line, and since they are back, they naturally want to relax. Judge, I wonder if you can let go of my hand and speak? ”
The judge was stared at by his pair of bright eyes, his expression was a little unnatural, his eyebrows were raised, his hand was finally released, and he continued: "I naturally don't care where to eat, but since this boss said that he can't pay on credit, then please ask the second son to settle the ...... on the spot."
"What if I don't settle it on the spot?"
"Then please go to my mansion and take a trip to all these people."
At this time, as long as he is a person who keeps to himself, he will never get involved in a lawsuit, let alone go to the yamen. If it is said that he went to the yamen, it means that this person is either stealing chickens or touching dogs, and he must have caused trouble, which is a disgraceful performance. So when the judge invited Yuan Xi and his men to go to his yamen, some of them became furious.
Seeing that the two sides were about to fight, Yuan Xi shouted: "Zilong! ”
Zhao Yun said next to him: "Huh! ”
"Take the gold out of the chest and give the boss a gold. One gold is enough for wine, right? Do you want to weigh you again? The market price of one gold is 10,000 yuan, and you charge 4,356 yuan, so how much money should I get? ”
The owner of the restaurant stretched his neck like a duck, watching Zhao Yun take out a gold bar from the box on his back, he took it, took a bite, and looked at a faint tooth mark on it, it was really gold. The judge didn't expect Yuan Xi to really be able to take out the gold, stared closely at the restaurant owner to verify the gold, and at the same time called someone to weigh it on the spot.
A few excited soldiers in the People's Army breathed a sigh of relief at this time. Although he was arguing before, it was true that he did not pay, and he had no confidence to speak. At this time, seeing that the real money and silver were taken out, his arrogance suddenly rose, and he shouted: "Boss, see clearly, is it gold?" ”
In fact, the exchange rate of one gold and ten thousand yuan was a matter of the time of the Spirit Emperor, and if you really want to trade, this price is much higher than ten thousand yuan, and ten thousand or twelve thousand are possible. Therefore, in this way, the owner of this restaurant took advantage of it, and he excitedly weighed people, and turned a blind eye to the ridicule of the soldiers and soldiers next to him.
The results came out immediately, and sure enough, it was a pound of gold, no more, no less.
The boss said excitedly: "Enough is enough, thank you second son." And the judge was next to him glaring at the businessman who was open-eyed for money.
Yuan Xi said: "Since it is enough, how much money should you find for me?" The money will be settled clearly. I'll wait until I'm done the math before I leave. ”
The restaurant owner didn't have an abacus in his hand, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he had to say, "How dare you delay the second son's time?" I'll have someone deliver it to the house early tomorrow morning, how about it? ”
Yuan Xi said: "No. Since you just asked for on-site settlement, now I will also settle on the spot. You can't figure it out, I'll do the math for you, and you'll give me five thousand six hundred and forty-four dollars. Hurry up and count it for me, I took the money and left. ”
The owner of the restaurant cried and said, "But the small shop doesn't have so many copper coins now, second son, why don't I send it to Yuan's Mansion early tomorrow morning, okay?" ”
Yuan Xi looked at the already sluggish judge and said: "Lord Judge, now I ask that it must be settled on the spot, but this boss can't settle it, so it's none of my business." If he had the money to find it, he could have taken the gold bar. Otherwise, I would have taken the gold bar with me, and the money for the meal would have to be scrapped. Makes sense, right? ”
The trial was a big headache, and I had the impression that the second son was a nerd, how could he behave so shrewdly.
The owner of the restaurant looked at the gold bar being taken back by Zhao Yun, and hurriedly said to the judge: "The judge ......."
The judge said: "Since you can't come up with the money to find the second son, the money for this meal will be settled." ”
The restaurant owner shouted, "How can this work? More than 4,000 dollars, how can you say forget it. Judge the adult, but you told me to settle it on the spot. What if that's not the case with credit......"
The judge shouted: "Shut up! When did I make you do that......"
The owner of the restaurant was yelled at by him, and suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly knelt down to the judge crying, kowtowed: "My lord, open the grace, I am just a small business......
Yuan Xi looked at the chicken feathers over there, patted the dust on his body with a smile, walked to the street, and turned around and said: "Master Judge, you can discuss it with the boss again, within an hour, if you get all the copper coins, I can keep this gold bar for him." ”
The clothes of the trial were grabbed by the restaurant owner, and the two were entangled together. Many of the people's troops were dumbfounded, and they rose up one by one with joy. A farce is much more enjoyable than going to a visit to Yu Chunxiang.
