Chapter 40: A Tooth for a Tooth
No matter how wonderful the show is, there is also a time for curtain calls. Although the Buddha treasure is wonderful, it is impossible to have endless functions to demonstrate endlessly.
At the end of the show, the onlookers were fascinated by the day, and even those who had seen the music box last time were also extremely excited. Although this Buddha treasure is different from the music box, but the wonder is more victorious, it is really a feast for the eyes, well, and the ears, there is a good talk to talk about to the family.
Everyone was very excited to say goodbye to Master Xie, and Xie Hong also nodded and returned the salute one by one.
The most excited person is the fortune teller Mr. Chen, for others, it is just to watch the excitement and add some talking points in the future. But for Mr. Chen, today is a day of great significance, Lord Xingjun has returned, not to mention, and brought such a magical treasure, now that monk has nothing to say, right?
In the end, our Taoist family won, Mr. Chen was full of smiles, and he threw the compliments to Xie Hong without money, all of which were blessings brought by Lord Xingjun.
Some people are proud, some people are frustrated, Chen Guanyu's happiness is based on the pain of the Jiujie monk. Xie Hong, who was being disturbed by the fortune teller with compliments, looked at Jiujie very embarrassed. Alas, a great monk who was originally very energetic suddenly wilted, and was walking in front of his house dejectedly, and the shadow behind him was long, and the sadness was ......
What a sin, Xie Hong sighed, in fact, I don't want to, it's purely a mistake.
Of course, there is another person whose mood is extremely complicated, and it is difficult to describe it in words, and this person is of course taking care of it.
As the son of the Gu family, Gu Quan should be happy about today's events. Gu Quan was indeed happy in his heart, this treasure was so wonderful, so as long as the master got it, then he would be able to follow the chicken dog to heaven.
He was not only surprised but also surprised by the treasure, this tower was not only exquisitely made, but also so strong, which was simply too against the sky. Gu Quan recalled the scene at that time, and he really did his best.
With this thought in his heart, when he looked at Xie Hong again, his heart was full of fear.
Today, Xie Hong left too deep an impression on him. If you take care of yourself, how can you not let someone you don't know smash such a treasure with a mallet, even if you know that the treasure is strong, but what if you smash it with more manpower than yourself? Or maybe it's crooked, can't this pagoda be so strong everywhere, isn't he worried about what if?
Thinking back to the scene at that time, Gu's whole body was covered in cold sweat, especially the casual smile on the corner of Xie Hong's mouth. Such an expression could not be contrived, Gu Quan had been staring at Xie Hong at the time, and clearly saw that when he swung his mallet down, the other party's face didn't even shake his eyelashes......
This person was so terrifying, although he had already run far away, Gu Quan still didn't dare to slow down. Mount Tai collapsed in front of him without moving, how deep is this man's city? How can we get this treasure from such a person? With a full stomach full of worries, he also went away.
It wasn't until the crowd dispersed that even Mr. Chen was persuaded away by Xie Hong, and Ma Wentao, who had been hiding in the distance, stepped forward.
"Brother Xie, today you have opened my old horse's eyes. If someone told me yesterday that there was such a thing in the world, Lao Ma would definitely not believe it, but in the future, as long as Brother Xie said that it was okay, I would not have any doubts at all. ”
Xie Hong had already listened to too many compliments for a while, and when he heard Ma Wentao say this, he just smiled slightly.
"Brother Ma has worked hard these days," Xie Hong lowered his voice and asked again, "How is the investigation of that matter?" ”
Hearing Xie Hong's question, Ma Wentao smiled, looked left and right vigilantly, and said, "It has been found out." Brother Xie, there are many people outside, let's go in and talk. Xie Hong nodded, and the two entered the courtyard together.
Before everyone dispersed, Erniu had already moved the pagoda into the house, and when he saw the pagoda in the house, Ma Wentao was amazed and said, "Brother Xie, this treasure is indeed amazing, but you let the Gu family hit it with a mallet, is it a little hasty?" If that person is too angry or simply has bad intentions and smashes the rest of the pagoda, that's bad. ”
If Gu Quan was here, he would definitely nod his head, because this question also caused him considerable trouble.
Xie Hong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, this pagoda has been tested once before, even if it is Erniu's strength, it just makes the bell louder." ”
Ma Wentao looked at Erniu when he heard this, and the big black man grinned: "Well, I used enough strength to smash it once, and the bell was so loud that I couldn't hear it in my ears." ”
Xie Hong nodded and continued to explain: "As for him deliberately making it bad, isn't there still Erniu staring at him?" Even if there is a case, it is not a problem, I still have a lot of spare parts when I do it, and it is very quick to repair it. "Gu Quan completely overestimated Xie Hong, he is not a deep city, but he is well prepared, so he can not be worried.
"Spare parts?" This term is relatively new, Ma Wentao was stunned when he heard it, but recently some new terms have popped up in Xie Hong's mouth from time to time, and he has become accustomed to it. Thinking about it again, he simply asked it one at a time, and asked the biggest question in his heart: "Brother Xie, where did the bell come from?" The voice is so loud, but ......"
"Well," Xie Hong smacked his lips, not easy to explain, "This is using the echo principle......" He explained a few words, but the other two were wide-eyed and looked dazed.
Xie Hong scratched his head, he had a headache, this theory was too much ahead of the times to explain it. "Anyway, there's some mechanism in there that amplifies sound, so you see? Actually, you didn't listen carefully, and there was still a difference between the sound and the real bell, well, but everyone was stunned, and no one noticed. ”
After explaining indiscriminately, he was finally confused, and Xie Hong remembered what he had just asked.
"Brother Ma, you tell me about the Gu family first."
"Oh," Ma Wentao thought for a while, but still didn't understand, and when he heard Xie Hong ask him, he simply shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and instead talked about the news he had heard: "The Gu family has thousands of acres of fertile land in Beizhuang County, and it is said that there are many businesses outside, and I really can't inquire about the specific net worth." However, the money that his family can use can be estimated. ”
Ma Wentao wrenched his fingers and said: "His family's annual income from the acres of land is ......, which adds up to ......, and the silver that can be paid back by the outside business every year is ......, and there are some miscellaneous inputs, which are about 30,000 taels." ”
Xie Hong was overjoyed and said, "Brother Ma, it's really hard to ask so clearly." ”
Ma Wentao said with a smile: "The Gu family behaves meanly, especially for people with foreign surnames. A few months ago, an old hired worker was kicked out because of his age. However, this person has some means, and he has long been interested in his family's business. So when I found him, I promised money, and he sold me the news. ”
After speaking, he had doubts again, "Brother Xie, if you inquire about this, you don't want to sell this thing to the Gu family, right?" ”
"It's to sell to him." Xie Hong nodded.
"Then the Gu family was so hateful before, why should they be cheap? Even if you want to sell it for money, wouldn't it be the same if you take it to Xuanfu or the capital to sell it? Such a treasure can be sold at a high price wherever it goes, and besides, Brother Xie, didn't you say that you would send it to the capital to present it to the emperor? Ma Wentao was anxious, the Gu family's face, he was annoyed when he thought about it, where would he be willing at this time.
Xie Hong's plan was not fully explained, and Ma Wentao only knew a part related to him. Xie Hong saw that he was in a hurry, and smiled and reassured: "Brother Ma, you are not unclear about your brother's personality, do you think I am like the kind of person who was slapped on the left cheek and then stretched out his right cheek?" ”
Of course, Ma Wentao shook his head, Xie Hong smiled evilly, and said bewildermently: "Brother Ma, you went to the Gu family with me last time, and you were angry. There's a chance tomorrow, do you want to get this gas back? ”
"That's a good idea," Ma Wentao's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "What chance?" ”
"Of course, it's a tooth for a tooth, how they make us angry, we can get it back."

began to get angry, and Xiaoyu shyly and timidly begged for something to push
