Chapter 39 Donglai Tai Shi Ci (I)
"Thisβ" As soon as he spoke of ten thousand taels of silver, the archer replied speechlessly, and he did not even argue, obviously he should have known the value of the horse.
Sure enough, when it came to the value of the horse, no one around stood up to refute it, obviously everyone is a frequent visitor here, and they know the market of the horse market. Even the rescued girl is now gone, apparently her mother also knows that her daughter has caused a big accident, so let's run away with her first.
"This or this, either take the money or report to the official, you can choose one of them." The horse dealer did not mean the slightest politeness, and it was clear that he had determined the responsibility of the archer.
"I don't have that much money, if you want to report to the official, you can report to the official." The archery man is also unscrupulous, and he frankly admits that he has no money, and then he looks like he is being dealt with.
The horse dealer was also angry with the actions of the archers, and he blushed and said, "Okay, report to the official, and when the time comes, you will be punished for hard labor and pay for it." β
"If you pay for it, you will pay for it, and I won't pay the bill." The archer stood in place, and said in a voice that was neither humble nor arrogant. There was not the slightest hint of weakness and pleading.
"It's a man." Zhao Yun looked at this scene and couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"Oh, Zilong thinks it's a man, so how can we see the hero in trouble." Zhang Chao stood aside, looked at everything clearly, and then smiled, and strode towards the middle of the street.
While everyone stood still, Zhang Chao's actions obviously attracted everyone's attention.
Dressed in white, at first glance, Zhang Chao, who should be the image of a rich man's son, was drunk by the horse dealer. "Stop, what are you doing?"
"Fix things." After Zhang Chao answered, he first came to the side of the fallen horse, and after looking at it carefully, he nodded lightly and said: "An arrow pierces the throat, it is really a good archery." β
"How do you fix things? Are you going to pay for him? After watching Zhang Chao look at the dead horse, he was still admiring, the horse dealer was a little anxious, he felt that this person was not easy to deal with, and the most important thing was that he was afraid that this person had a background, once he reported to the official, what if he suffered a loss.
"Hehe, don't take my words first, let me ask you, you just saw this hero shoot your healthy horse, but have you ever thought about what kind of crime it will be for if your healthy horse hurts the girl? According to the law of the Tang Dynasty, animal husbandry hurts people, and the master is guilty, I am right. Zhang Chao looked back at the horse dealer and asked, his eyes shining.
"Ahh Thisβ" said the horse dealer, with a roll of his eyes, "but my healthy horse did not hurt the girl. β
"Yes, what you say is true, but the reason why this result happened was because this hero shot your horse, and you were spared the guilt, and from this point of view, you should be thankful for it." Zhang Chao said with a smile, and then without waiting for the horse dealer to answer, he said: "Of course, let's talk about the facts, the fact is that your healthy horse died, and you need compensation, which is also right." β
The horse dealer was stunned by Zhang Chao's words, but people said that they were right, of course he had to admit it. "Yes, you're right."
"Well, I'm right. So do you think the responsibility for this matter should be half of the family? At least you can't blame the archery side entirely. Zhang Chao was waiting for the horse dealer's words, even if the other party said this, of course he would bite it immediately.
"Ahh This, too, is right. But half of the responsibility also requires five thousand pieces of silver. The horse dealer was forced by Zhang Chao, and he followed his words.
"Okay, five thousand is five thousand. Come, bring the money. After Zhang Chao heard this, he stretched out his hand and said to the brocade guard beside him.
The master asked for silver, and immediately a guard in charge of the money took out a large bag of silver taels that had been placed on him.
Stretched out his hand to take it, and after weighing it, Zhang Chao knew that it was not enough, so he said: "In this way, you send someone to follow my guards to fetch it, of course, we will not leave during this period, just eat and drink here, how about it?" β
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were no silver stamps. No one has such qualifications, so that money and goods can be loaded into carriages.
This time Zhang Chao came out, although he also brought some silver taels, but when it came to the number of five thousand, it was naturally not enough, so he had to let people take it.
The horse dealer knew these things, too, and he used to do the same when he traded with people. They all deliver the horses to the buyers, and they are collecting silver taels. Zhang Chao's words did not doubt him, so he said to the two people who followed him: "You go and follow to get the silver, I am here to keep an eye on them." β
"Okay." After the two agreed, they followed a brocade guard designated by Zhang Chao and left the horse market.
A lively scene is even if the curtain is over, for a while everyone should do what they should do, the man who shoots the arrow is indeed not able to go, someone for himself out of five thousand taels of silver, how can he go away.
"Come on, come over and have a bar together." Zhang Chao saw that the archery man stood still and did not move, so he took the initiative to say hello.
Engong beckoned him, and the man couldn't stand still, so he walked to Zhang Chao's table with some restraint and stood there.
In fact, this man is also a very bold person, but because Zhang Chao helped him out with 5,000 silver, he felt a little indebted, and he felt a little constrained in dating.
"Come, sit down. Zhang Chao didn't think too much about it, but the actions of the person in front of him just now were actually done by the big husband. If it weren't for the arrow released, I'm afraid that the dishes in his hand would have been thrown out, although it can't be said that the girl will be saved, but it will also hurt the healthy horse, and this will happen in the end.
Under Zhang Chao's warm greeting, the archery man sat at the dog meat table, beside Zhao Yun.
"Your archery skills are good, which is admirable." As he spoke, Zhao Yun hugged his fist and said, "Changshan Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong." β
This is a way to make friends in the rivers and lakes, first of all, it is a normal thing to report to your home.
"Donglai Tai Shi Ci, the word is righteous." The archery man also hurriedly reported his name.
"It turned out to be Brother Justice, come, this is the second son of my family." After Zhao Yun knew the righteousness of the person in front of him, he said politely, and then looked at Zhang Chao.
Originally, Zhao Yun was supposed to introduce Zhang Chao's identity, but now that he is his father-in-law, how can he show his full stop casually, so he stopped and wanted the father-in-law to introduce his identity.
But at this time, Zhang Chao was really stunned. He was shocked to hear the identity of the man who shot the arrow.
It was a complete surprise.
Or it can also be said that from Guo Jia's appearance to Zhao Yun's killing, the relationship with Lu Su to this day, including the sudden appearance of Tai Shici now, all happened without any preparation.
Tai Shi Ci, the word Ziyi, is a native of Donglai Huang County (now Donghuangchengji, Longkou, Shandong). One of the tiger generals of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, in terms of its military value, it could also be ranked in the top ten at that time, and the worst was also within the top fifteen, and in Wu at that time, it was one of the best generals.
After digging Guo Jia (Wei State) and Zhao Yun (Shu State) before, Zhang Chao has been wondering, is it the idea of fighting Wu State as well?
It's just that Chen Liu is too far away from Sun Jian's territory now, so he didn't dare to expect too much, but what he didn't expect was that he actually met the two great talents of Wu State in one day, one literary and one martial, which can be said to complement each other.
Zhang Chao was overjoyed in his heart, and felt that today was really his lucky day, and he met two great talents in a short period of time. couldn't help but look at Tai Shici, and then noticed that his eyes were also looking at himself, and his feelings were still waiting for him to make an introduction.
This is a smile and said: "Zhang Chao, Zhang Zhiyuan, Chen Liujun." β
"It turned out to be Brother Zhiyuan..."In line with the habit, Tai Shi Ci wanted to say something casually to show his closeness. But when he heard the weapon of this name, the whole person was stunned and said, "What did you say? You are Zhang Chao, but is it the Zhang Chao who Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao's brother? β
"It's like a fake." Zhang Chao didn't expect that Tai Shici had even heard of him, and he couldn't help but be happy, in this way, some things are much easier to do.
"Alas, I have always admired your name for a long time, especially in the battle of Changshe, your heroic performance has always been admired from the heart. I didn't expect to meet it today, which is really a blessing. Tai Shici said with a very excited look.
"Haha, that's just a trivial matter, and it shouldn't be praised. It's Brother Ziyi, who shoots a good arrow, which is really admirable. Zhang Chao also laughed.
After the names were reported and the identities were known, the relationship between the two parties began to warm up rapidly. Especially under Zhang Chao's intention, after three altars of hero drunk and three plates of dog meat, the relationship was further strengthened by drinking and talking.
"This hero is really drunk." After opening his mouth and drinking half of the jar, Tai Shici sighed. "After drinking this wine, I tasted other water wines, where is the taste, this is really good (read four sounds) the gospel of the wine man, but it's a pity that it's too expensive."
As he spoke, Tai Shici couldn't help but shake his head, obviously feeling regret that he couldn't drink such wine often.
"Hey, how did you say this, did Brother Ziyi forget who made this hero drunk?" Zhao Yun on the side saw that Zhang Chao was interested in recruiting Tai Shici, so he began to set fire on the side. As a courtier, what you have to do is to share the worries of the lord.
"Oh, haha, hahaha. Yes, I forgot about this stubble. Tai Shi Ci patted his head, and then poured another big sip into the wine jar and said, "I said the wrong thing, and I should be punished." β
