Chapter 45: The Lion Opens His Mouth
"Old slippery head." Xie Hong and Imperial Doctor Gu had a rare unification of opinions, and they both cursed in their hearts.
But no one has time to pay attention to Wang Zhixian at this time. Xie Hong wants to start planning the last step, naturally he has to cheer up, and he can't be as careless as he was at the beginning, you know, the last step is not only a confrontation of lips and tongues, but also a skill.
Imperial Doctor Gu was even more impatient to solve the matter, he made up his mind, as long as he could buy the pagoda, even if he spent a little more money, he would not hesitate to do it. As for Xie Hong's contempt and even humiliation of him, hmph, there will be a chance to settle this account again in the future, the old man gritted his teeth again.
"What are you doing? Don't go and move the pagoda into the car yet. ”
He was confused by his order, and Master Xie just promised to sell it, not to give it away for nothing, and move it now? Isn't my lord confused? Steward Gu hesitated and didn't dare to step forward, while peeking at the old man's expression.
Imperial Doctor Gu was impatient, his beard was blown, his eyes were glaring, and he was about to have a seizure.
The housekeeper was sweating profusely, but he glanced at Zhang Erniu, who was standing next to the pagoda and was like the Dharma Protector King Kong, he still didn't dare to step forward like this, and said in anticipation: "Master, let's ...... Didn't you negotiate the price first...... Moving things again? ”
Imperial Doctor Gu looked impatient, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and shouted, "You idiot! Didn't he promise to sell? How much silver can a small master in the country have seen. You just have to move the treasure away first, how much he wants, you give it to him, even if he wants a few thousand taels of lion mouth, you can also make your own decisions, this little thing has to be opened by the old man? ”
The housekeeper was still very embarrassed, in fact, when Xie Hong presented the music box, he was present at the time, and he also shouted the highest price of three thousand taels. He remembered that at that time, in the face of such a sky-high price, Xie Hong did not waver at all. And now this pagoda is better than the music box, and Xie Hong's situation is better than then, the price is difficult to say.
"Alas," the butler sighed in his heart, "since the lord became the imperial doctor, he has not suffered any setbacks in the local area, and as a result, this arrogance has risen with the words, and there has never been an ordinary person in his eyes. Although this Master Xie has no background and low fame, it is also very unusual, the old man is arrogant, and in the end, it is still us who are embarrassed, and our lives are hard. ”
Seeing that Imperial Doctor Gu was about to get angry, the housekeeper sighed in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he had to come forward to negotiate. When Xie Hong approached, he didn't dare to be contemptuous, he gave a salute first, and said: "Lord Xie, you are generous in cutting love, and the Gu family feels great and virtuous, of course, you can't let you suffer, you look at the price of this treasure......"
The Gu family who came with him looked at each other, this is the housekeeper? That's too polite. Everyone peeked at their master, and with the master's surname, they would definitely be angry with the housekeeper for being willing to be cheap, and then be furious, right?
It's okay for the old man to get angry at the housekeeper, everyone looks at the excitement, but everyone knows the surname of their master, but they don't care about starting the fire, who catches and cleans up whom, the family members are very worried.
But after a glance, it made them put their hearts back in their stomachs, and they saw that their master's eyes were firmly fixed on the pagoda, and they didn't leave for a moment, and they didn't notice what the housekeeper was doing at all. Looking at the posture, if it weren't for the clarity in my heart, I am afraid that I would not even be able to hold the shelf, so I rushed up.
The family members were very happy, and when they turned their heads to look at Xie Hong again, they all had a sense of awe. This Xie Zhushu is really powerful, the master is fine, and he can make the housekeeper whisper, the most powerful thing is that he can always get these magical treasures, Mr. Chen said that he is the star monarch, maybe it's true.
Wang Zhixian entered the official sedan chair and was silent for a while, but when he saw the housekeeper's attitude, he couldn't help but snort coldly. I was also thinking about it: the housekeeper was always arrogant to himself, but he groveled in a small master book, the difference is that he is usually too kind, should he also be tougher?
This imperial doctor is really ...... Xie Hong was amazed in his heart, this person is not stupid, but this arrogance is really unacceptable. Is it because you haven't gotten used to this era? Hearing the housekeeper ask the price, he frowned and said, "The price...... Say. ”
Steward Gu was relieved when he heard this, although he was a little puzzled by Xie Hong's sudden change of strength, but for him, as long as he could complete his mission, even if he knew that there was a pit in front of him, he would not hesitate to jump down, as long as he could buy the pagoda.
"This pagoda was bought by the two brothers who went to Henan and spent a lot of money." Xie Hong still looked light and breezy, and the folding fan in his hand didn't know when it opened again, this time it was changed to face outward, but it was still a ghost character on it.
Xie Hong didn't speak loudly, but the Gu family's hearts sank, this is to make the lion open his mouth, right?
"Since it is the magistrate of the county who has a life, the official will not make money, and it cost the official 30,000 taels to buy this Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. If Lord Gu wants it, he will give the cost price, and as for the road expenses or something, the official will not care. ”
The weather is so good, Xie Hong leisurely looked at the sky, the fan in his hand shook and shook, indescribably elegant and calm. When he spoke, his tone was even more casual, and he said a number so lightly, but the person who heard this was like being hit in the face by a sledgehammer, and instantly turned red.
"Thirty thousand...... Two...... Silver? The butler shuddered.
"If the Gu family is afraid that the official will suffer a loss, and is willing to give gold, the official is also pleased." Xie Hong still looked leisurely, completely ignoring how much reaction his words caused.
30,000 taels of silver. When Xie Hong got the 500 taels of the reward offered by the government, he felt that it was an astronomical amount, let alone 30,000? Most of the audience are ordinary people, and the number of 10,000 is already very, very unfamiliar to them, even if it is tens of thousands of copper coins, it is a lot of wealth, not to mention silver?
Everyone's spirits are up, although it was quite interesting to watch Xie Hong and the Gu family fight just now, but it is exciting now. Thirty thousand taels, this is really amazing, will the Gu family turn their faces? If the Gu family wanted to rob it, then there would be a martial arts show, and everyone took a few steps back again, so as not to be affected when the fight started.
"Master Xie, the Gu family is very sincere, please don't joke." The butler came to his senses.
"Where does this official seem to be joking?" Xie Hong is very innocent.
"Lord Xie, not to mention whether this treasure is worth 30,000 taels, as far as the villain knows, Lord Xie's family doesn't seem to be very wealthy, so where can he get 30,000 taels of silver to buy this thing?" Being able to manage a big family like the Gu family, Steward Gu is still very shrewd, and he quickly found the flaw in Xie Hong's words.
"As the head of the county, the lord keeps saying that he looks at the county magistrate, but he lies and blackmails, isn't it cold?" Steward Gu didn't stop doing anything, he simply accused Xie Honglai with a strong voice, and pulled Wang Zhixian in as he spoke, thinking that if Xie Hong was messing around, then Wang Zhixian would have a reason to come forward.
"Steward Gu, you must buy something, and this official doesn't want to sell it in the first place." Xie Hong spread his hands and said that he was helpless, "Now that the official has said the price, you can't afford it, so you're spewing blood here." Okay, isn't it true that the official has proved that he can get 30,000 taels, so you can go home and not pester the official? ”
"This ......" The housekeeper didn't dare to decide for himself, although he was sure that Xie Hong couldn't have 30,000 taels of silver, it was 30,000 taels, the Dong family had accumulated so many years, and the cash in his hand did not exceed 30,000, how could he have so much money with his small master book?
But the other party is Xie Hong, a person who has repeatedly surprised people, in case ...... He did come up with evidence, so what could he do? Home? What I said doesn't count, if you really should come down, then ...... The old man still didn't eat himself.
Steward Gu was very helpless, and his eyes were very poignant.
Xie Hong also didn't like to embarrass others, but thinking of the Gu family's face before, especially the words of Imperial Doctor Gu who would not be saved if he died in front of him, Xie Hong still thought hard and only couldn't see it. Besides, if they really show their flaws, they don't necessarily have to retaliate, and not doing bad things doesn't mean that they have to be bad people.
Steward Gu didn't get mercy, so he had to turn his head to look at his master, and what he saw was a somewhat distorted face.
It's almost a little bit of something, but ...... This little master book dared to play tricks on himself, 30,000 taels, does he know how much 30,000 taels is? Imperial Doctor Gu was about to go crazy, even in the Tai Hospital, he was just not taken seriously, and no one deliberately gave him anger. But in this small Beizhuang County, there is such a kid who doesn't know whether to live or die.
He subconsciously wanted to respond, but after all, he held back rationally, and said in a hoarse voice: "Xie Jia's descendants, you said that you can take out 30,000 taels to buy treasures, what if you can't prove it?" ”
Xie Hong smiled slightly, and said proudly: "If this is the case, Xie will give this thing to the Gu family without taking a penny." ”
"In that case...... Imperial Doctor Gu gritted his teeth, "That's it, if you prove it, then the Gu family will pay 30,000 taels to buy this thing." If you can't prove it, hum ......"
"Old man......" The housekeeper was shocked, although 30,000 taels would not hurt the Gu family, the Gu family still had fields and shops, but it also hurt the muscles and bones. Besides, even if you take out all the cash in the house, it will be less than 30,000.
"It's okay, the descendants of the Xie family, what about your evidence?" Imperial Doctor Gu is bound to win the pagoda, as long as he can be promoted, what is the money? Besides, even if it can be proved that this thing is worth 30,000 taels, does this money-greedy boy think that this money is so easy to take?
Although he was stared at by many people, Xie Hong didn't care, he has often been watched by onlookers in recent times and has adapted to it. Facing the Gu family's eyes that could kill, he pretended to sigh helplessly: "Lord Gu is really surnamed Ren, forget it, Xie will suffer a loss." Steward Dong, I'm sorry for you. ”
