Chapter 50: Blackmail

The surging Han water, coiled down in the mountains, turned a bend in the north of Xiangyang City and went south, the ancient city of Xiangyang is on the inner side of the bend of this Han River, it is considered to make the Han River into half a moat, which can be described as ********. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Hanjiang Inn is not one of the famous buildings in Xiangyang City, it is close to the Hanjiang River on the westernmost side of Xiangyang City, and Liu Yuanshan and the other three people who were eating by the window on the second floor could just see the wide river and a few fishing fires occasionally flashing on the river.

The river is dark, and the cool breeze is in your arms!

Liu Yuanshan shuddered, the hand that stretched out to pick up the vegetables turned out to be a little stiff, looking at the gloomy face of Third Uncle Shen when he was eating, it was estimated that he had not been able to find useful information or bad news in Xiangyang City.

But he couldn't control this, he just ate and then asked the shopkeeper to send the remaining leftovers to the firewood room for the five members of the SX family.

The two meals of the poor family are usually morning and noon, and there is no dinner, although Liu Yuanshan sent them leftovers, it was enough for them to be grateful.

After the meal, Liu Yuanshan said: "Second Uncle Mao, Third Uncle Shen, you talk slowly, I'll go back to the room to rest first!" ”

At this time, the shopkeeper ran upstairs from below, entered Liu Yuanshan's box directly, looked at him and said, "This is Liu Jiasanlang Liu Gongzi?" ”

Liu Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, and secretly said My name is so loud, it has been spread to Xiangyang Mansion?

"What's the matter with you?" Third Uncle Shen asked with some vigilance.

"Uh......" When the guy saw that he was looking for someone who should have been right, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are two guests here, saying that they have something important to discuss with Liu Jiazaburo." ”

"Who?" Before Liu Yuanshan could speak, Second Uncle Mao stood up and took over the conversation.

"I don't know the little ones, if the three of them don't see them, the little ones will return to them!" The man said with a bitter face.

"Alright, please come up!" Uncle Shen felt that it was okay for two people, so he asked the shopkeeper to bring it up, but as soon as his voice fell, a shout came from the wooden ladder below: "You lords are really polite, Yan someone is uninvited, don't blame him!" ”

As he spoke, a tall, slightly bloated, and forty-year-old man who looked like a rich man came up from downstairs with a smile on his face, and entered the room of the three of them very impolitely.

The man was dressed in a dark blue patch, which looked a little black in the dim light, followed by a young and lean man with a pair of bright eyes, and there was an indescribable majesty in the room.

"In Xia Yan Chu, I've seen the three masters!" shouted in his mouth, but he didn't have the respect of being a grandson, and without waiting for the three of them to give up their seats, he sat next to him, stretched out his hand and rubbed the fan, and fanned it as if no one was around.

Liu Yuanshan was also drunk, and secretly said that this Nima is winter, and the river wind is blowing and making Lao Tzu tremble, why are you still pretending to fan a fan, isn't it just a little more fat than us?

"Go down!" Yan Chu glanced at the shopkeeper and said slowly.

The guy ran down as if he was afraid of being bitten by a scorpion.

The lean man walked to the door and closed the small door, and Yan Chu said: "Everyone, I frightened you, Yan came uninvited, there is really an important matter to discuss with you." ”

Liu Yuanshan, including Third Uncle Shen and Second Uncle Mao, none of them opened their mouths to talk to Yan Chu.

Yan Chu fumbled around his sleeve for a long time and took out ten taels of gold, then generously put it on the table of several people, and said, "Everyone, someone Yan came over to buy something with Liu Jiazaburo." ”

Looking at the metal that shimmered with golden light under the light, Third Uncle Shen and Second Uncle Mao were slightly surprised, only Liu Yuanshan looked at Yan Chu with a calm face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

Yan Chu laughed and said, "Liu Sanlang, forgive me!" These ten taels of gold, I Yan someone wants to buy your osmanthus soap recipe, what do you think? ”

Ten taels of gold, according to the exchange rate of the Ming Dynasty, if converted into silver, it is about 100 taels.

One hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is equivalent to the entire property of a medium-sized family in the Xiangyang area.

Second Uncle Mao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, a little moved, looked at Liu Yuanshan and said, "San Lang, what do you think?" ”

Liu Yuanshan said: "There are 20 acres of fertile land in every move, if I have this formula, I will sell it immediately!" After speaking, he pretended to smile bitterly, and arched his hand towards Yan Chu and said, "Master Yan, I'm sorry, I'm just selling this kid, and as for the formula, it's really not mine." ”

"Not yours?" Yan Chu frowned slightly, thinking that his bid was too low, he fumbled for a while, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve and put it on the table and said, "I'll add another twenty taels!" ”

Add another twenty, and that's a total of thirty taels of gold!

This time, even Liu Yuanshan couldn't help but glance at Yan Chu.

The recipe of his own osmanthus soap, of course, is more than thirty taels of gold, but the person who came did not ask about the cost and the main material of manufacturing, and even did not fully consider the sales of this osmanthus soap, so he gave out thirty taels of gold in one breath, which can only explain one problem.

Either this Yan Chu is a person with a great investment vision, or this product is not right for people today, and it is for Liu Yuanshan.

"I'm sorry, I'll say it again, I sold this thing for someone else." Liu Yuanshan didn't look at the slightest wave in his eyes, and continued to Yan Chu: "Master Yan just gave me three hundred taels or three thousand taels of gold, and the kid didn't have that blessing." ”

"I don't believe it!" Yan Chu's face was a little gloomy, and his tone was a little deformed, slowly revealing a threatening taste: "Liu Sanlang, this price is fair and just, if you don't accept it, it will be insincere." ”

"Do you look down on me, or do you look down on it!" Yan Chu stretched out his stubby fingers and pointed to the gold in front of him.

Liu Yuanshan snorted coldly and stopped talking.

He wasn't afraid of this guy, after all, this was an inn, and the other party couldn't do anything too out of the ordinary.

"This brother!" Uncle Shen stood up and hugged his fists and said: "There is also a way, Xiangyang Mansion is not a place to buy and sell, not to mention that this formula is not Liu Jiasanlang's, it is his, he is unwilling to sell it to you, can you still force him?" ”

Third Uncle Shen was burly, his speech was neither humble nor arrogant, and his eyes flashed, revealing an extremely calm momentum, no weaker than the lean man standing at the door.

"It's not that it's forced to buy and sell, it's just that this little baby looks down on the old man!" Yan Chu's face was not good-looking, but he couldn't rob other people's things in the inn, not to mention that the things he wanted were more special, not real things.

"Knock knock!"

Just then, another visitor came outside the door.

"A few masters, the people from the Sun family in Dongcheng are here." The voice of the shopkeeper sounded outside the door.

Second Uncle Mao opened the door, and then a scholar who seemed to be polite came in from the outside and bowed to everyone, when he saw Yan Chu, he was slightly stunned and said, "Yo, Boss Yan is also there?" ”

Yan Chu obviously knew Sun Sheng, so he quickly got up from his seat and said with a humble look: "It turned out to be Young Master Sun, long time no see, long time no see!" ”

"Hmm!" Sun Miaoqing just nodded, ignored him quite contemptuously, looked at Liu Yuanshan and said, "This is Liu Sanlang?" ”

"That's the kid!" Liu Yuanshan bowed his salute.

"Hurry up, please!" Sun Miaoqing helped Liu Yuanshan up and said: "I have received the two pieces of osmanthus soap that Brother Wang entrusted you to send, and I can't travel far away today because of trivial matters at home, so I can't personally come to thank Brother Wang, and ask San Lang to take me to Brother Wang with a little gift!" ”

Sun Miaoqing waved her hand, and the little guy behind her came in from outside with a plate in both hands, and there was a big red greeting note and a letter on it, as well as a thank you gift of silver and two rulers.

Liu Yuanshan was also not polite, accepted the things, and said by the way: "Master Sun, are you going to wash my innocence?" ”

"Oh? How? Sun Miaoqing asked.

"It's this Master Yan, isn't this the recipe that forced me to buy osmanthus soap, this, how can I explain it to Master Wang Xiucai, but ......" Liu Yuanshan saw that Yan Chu was a little afraid of Sun Miaoqing, and deliberately led the conversation to what happened just now.

"Huh?" Sun Miaoqing's face instantly turned gloomy, and she looked at Yan Chu and said, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"No, no, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!" Yan Chu panicked now.

He originally accepted Zhu Qi's things and came over to disgust Liu Yuanshan, but now when he saw Sun Miaoqing standing on Liu Yuanshan's side, he didn't dare to continue to make mistakes.

Although the Sun family does not have as much power as the palace in Xiangyang Mansion, it is also a well-known family, not to mention that there are two Jinshi in the family, and one is now a political envoy, a dignified official from the second grade, that is, the role of King Xiang, how dare he offend a ninth-rate person who opens a hotel?

"Forget it!" Under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and he couldn't fight with this kind of snake, and Liu Yuanshan didn't intend to embarrass him too much, lest this person hold a grudge against him. His principle of being a man has always been to either kill or not to do it, and never do those meaningless things to earn face.

"Get out!" Sun Miaoqing's eyes were cold, and Yan Chu's head was full of cold sweat.

You must know that the Sun family's words are enough to force him to abandon his family and business and leave his hometown, Zhu Qi is just a steward of the palace, and he can't protect him at all.

He cringed and reached for his hand on the table, trying to pick up the thirty taels of gold and go back.

Sun Miaoqing said, "Huh? With a sigh, Yan Chu was embarrassed.

Do you have to give up money if you don't get the formula? Isn't this a loss for his wife and a loss of soldiers?

Second Uncle Mao didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he hurriedly stuffed the thirty taels of gold back into Yan Chu's hand, and said calmly: "The formula is indeed not in our hands, and we can't take your money, but if we use this kind of indiscriminate means to deal with us again, even if there is no Master Sun, Grandpa, I can screw off your dog's head." ”

This is a bit of a combination of grace and power.

Yan Chu once again broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and said secretly: I didn't expect this inconspicuous man to be a ruthless character.

"Thank you for this master, it's Yan who is not thoughtful!" Yan Chu took the money and saw that Sun Miaoqing did not show that he was stuck, so he ran away in a panic.
