This old man spoke very wordy, although he was kind and comforting, but the people next to him shook their heads when they listened, and secretly said: If you continue to talk like this, people who don't have their own ** will be provoked by you!

Sure enough, as soon as Ouyang Xuanye heard this, he stood up violently and rushed forward fiercely. The old man was stunned by this scene, and he thought that under his coincidental enlightenment, the stubborn stone was going to nod, let alone a young man. The one next to him who reacted faster immediately shouted: Quick, catch him!

But Ouyang Xuanye had already taken off at this time, jumping into the rolling river, only to hear a snort, the man only grabbed a corner of his clothes, but could only watch Ouyang Xuanye's body fall into the vast river under the gaze of his eyes.

The old man reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and save people!" Someone has jumped into the river again, hurry up and save people!

When he returned to the city, Ouyang Shu immediately repaired a letter and invited Xu Jiang to meet at the Jiamao room on the second floor of the Xiangshui Restaurant in Xiaotianshui Lane at dusk on the second day.

He will not go to the Xu family, although he believes that with such wealth as Xu Jiang, he will definitely not take his life for three thousand taels of silver, as long as he is ready, even if it is handed over in his home, there will be no problem.

However, if the negotiation and handover were in the Xu family, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if he was accommodating him. Ouyang Shu felt that as a creditor, he now had a material advantage, so what reason did he have to accommodate those who owed money?

Of course, before sending the letter, he had already booked a room at Xiangshui Restaurant.

At dusk the next day, Ouyang Shu deliberately rubbed for a while before walking towards Little Sweet Water Lane. He didn't take with him the baggage he had snatched in the early hours of the previous morning. Because after all, General Xu is a member of the imperial court, although he is a civil official, but it is difficult to say what kind of masters are around, if he brings this thing and is robbed, it will be a big loss, and the efforts of the past two days have been in vain. Moreover, it can pose a threat to their own safety.

However, when he walked into the room, he saw that it was empty, and the picture in his heart that he was waiting uneasily did not appear.

Ouyang Shu was surprised: Could it be that this old guy was too impatient, arrived early, saw that there was no one in this room, and left?

He thought to himself that if Xu Jiang didn't even have this patience, he would be overestimating him. At that moment, Ouyang Shu hurriedly called Xiao Er to ask, but the other party told him with certainty that he had never seen such a person enter the house all afternoon today.

Only then did Ouyang Shu understand that Xu Jiang, the old man, had never been here at all. He was much more calm than himself, and instead of testing his patience, he was tested by him.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shu's heart was on fire. It's okay if this old boy doesn't pay back the money he owes, and at this time he has all the handles in his hands, and he still has to put this big official's score, which is really angry.

Ouyang Shu secretly decided in his heart that even if the other party returned the money to him very happily, he would make it difficult for him no matter what.

Since he will be an official in the imperial court in the future, he will inevitably be criticized by him, the official secretary, it is better to simply expand this contradiction a little more, so that more people can know the contradiction between themselves and Xu Jiang, and the best thing is to reach the ears of Emperor Zhao Xu. In this way, Xu Jiang will make a stumbling block for himself in the back, but he will pay attention to the impact. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are notoriously powerful, and they will never miss such a thing.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard footsteps outside. Since this gate had always been open, as soon as Ouyang Shu looked up, he saw General Xu slowly walking over there.

Don't really say that this old guy looks majestic when he is dressed in a scarlet robe, a white Luo belt, and soapy leather shoes, and at this time he puts on a Confucian costume and wears a black scarf, although he looks like he has no prestige in the past, but there is an unforgettable Confucian atmosphere at first sight, tranquil and natural.

Although standing on opposite positions, Ouyang Shu had to admit that this old man's demeanor was indeed the best he had ever seen. You know that he has done something disdainful, but when you see him and meet him face to face, it is still difficult for you to feel disgusted.

As he stepped through the door, his head twisted unconsciously. Ouyang Shu saw it, and finally found a little reason to despise him. It turned out that Ouyang Shu had heard a long time ago that all those who had been officials in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time would have this problem, and when they walked into a small door, their heads would twist unnaturally. For no other reason, they are accustomed to wearing long-winged hats, and when they enter the door, they are always worried that the feathers of the hat will be hung by the door. And the bigger the official, the more problems there are in this regard. Because the feathers of this long-winged hat grow longer with the increase of official quality.

After entering the door, Xu Jiang immediately sat down with a big sting, and did not speak, but looked at Ouyang Shu with a smile.

Ouyang Shu thought that he would say something like being late and sorry, but he didn't expect that he didn't mean to be sorry at all, and he didn't even give himself this step politely, so he suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, and said: Old man, you are so old, don't you know that it's not a good habit to be late for a date?

Xu Jiang smiled indifferently: Anyway, you didn't wait long, did you?

Ouyang Shu's eyes froze: How do you know?

General Xu shook his head and said with a smile: "You young people are a little Jiujiu, I am so old, how can I not know. You took the initiative to invite so domineeringly, so naturally you calculated that I was in a hurry to go to the meeting. You must want to take this opportunity to toss my old man and let my old man sit here and taste the taste of waiting for others, yes or no?

Ouyang Shu was speechless for a moment. People say that people are old and become fine, this sentence is really appropriate, I didn't expect that my little thoughts were actually seen by Xu Jiang.

Thinking of this, Ouyang Shu couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. However, then he thought about it again: No matter how clever you are in these little things, what can you do? Now that you have the handle in the palm of my hand, can you still not let me abuse it?

Thinking about it like this, he calmed down a little and said, "It's not too early, let's get straight to the point, did you bring the silver? I don't think you brought it either." However, I said that in the front, I will not accept Jiaozi. Nowadays, the world is very chaotic, some people's character is very poor, and I can't tell if Jiaozi is true or false, so I have to stop accepting it.

Jiaozi is the paper money of this era, but it is all large denominations, and like silver in large ingots, it is rarely used in the market. Many southerners have never even seen Jiaozi, and although Ouyang Shu has seen it, he does not have the ability to discriminate. And at this time, Xu will come empty-handed, and an old man like him naturally can't carry three thousand taels of silver on his body. Therefore, Ouyang Shu guessed that he was bringing Jiaozi.

Ouyang Shu's words obviously surprised Xu Jiang a little: So, you still insist on getting back the three thousand taels of silver from me?

Ouyang Shu said: Naturally, I want to get back the silver that should belong to me. Otherwise, what am I asking you to talk about?

Xu Jiang suddenly laughed, and muttered **: Rare!

Ouyang Shu didn't buy his account: Don't be rare, what do you say about the silver? As a new science detective, open the silver and close the silver, if it is heard by some readers, Ouyang Shu will be criticized wildly. However, Ouyang Shu didn't care, in front of Xu Jiang, who was considered a model of a scholar, he would say whatever he had to say.

So, you really haven't seen the baby you snatched?

Ouyang Shu chuckled in his heart: Could it be that the trick has been tricked, and the thing he grabbed is meaningless at all? He still took a sentence in his mouth: I said I didn't see it, you won't believe it, right?

No, I believe it! Xu Jiang stood up and walked out, you better go back and have a look, and come back to me!
