Chapter 124: The Truth Revealed
It's really despicable to talk about the feelings of neighbors.
Everyone looked at each other, one or two talking about the character of this stupid big man and a very family. About eighty percent of the people want to speak for the people in their own village, but Chu Jiayin, a person from another village, who can believe it?
Chu Jiayin was not afraid of him, she turned the bottom of the gold ingot upwards and said, "You are such a big village, there should be literate people, right?" Since you are literate, you should have gone to school, right? Even if you have attended school, you should know who is in charge of the famous money houses in the inner and outer cities of Kyoto, right? ”
The words engraved under the gold ingot represent the gold and silver from the money village under the name of the Chu family. Sure enough, a literate old gentleman came out of the crowd and carefully verified the origin of the gold ingot.
"This is the gold and silver from the Chu family's money bank." The old gentleman said.
Chu Jiayin took back the gold ingot, put his hands behind his back, and said, "If you still don't believe that I am rich, I can lead you to the shops and shops under the name of the Chu family to find people, and let those bosses who manage the property for the Chu family come to tell you who I am." ”
"The girl is from the Chu family?" The old gentleman was a little in awe, this is next to several cities in Kyoto, and no one knows the name of the Chu family.
The Chu family is the first among the imperial merchants, although it cannot be said that compared with private merchants, it can also occupy the first place. But in terms of family strength, reputation and heritage, which merchant family can compare to the Chu family.
After all, the Chu family can talk to the royal family.
The stupid big man still didn't give up, and said with a snort: "This ...... This is also your nonsense to deceive people, you collect money so fast, aren't you afraid that the old man will find out that this gold ingot is fake? Balls...... Take it out and let's take a good look! ”
Chu Jiayin sneered, it was really troublesome to be targeted by this kind of leper dog! Anyway, it doesn't hurt to take it out again, Chu Jiayin took out the ingot of gold from his purse and held it in front of him for the other party to take a good look at.
The stupid big man slowly came over, staring at the gold ingot several times with shining eyes. Chu Jiayin was a little disgusted because he got closer, and asked impatiently, "Have you seen enough?" ”
The next moment, Chu Jiayin's hand suddenly lightened. The gold ingot in his hand was snatched away by the guy, and the stupid big man took the gold ingot, ran away without saying a word, and disappeared around the corner after a while.
It's like a mouse who steals food and runs away in a hurry, it's hard to imagine that his big guy can run so fast! Sure enough, people need to force themselves to know how much potential they have!
"Huh!"
Chu Jiayin didn't react for a long time, what happened just now? She turned her hand over in a daze, looked at the empty palm for a long time, and only realized that she had just raised it in her hand, and such a big piece of gold was gone!
She was stunned for a while, why did she watch people snatch her things in front of her?
Chu Liangshan watched this good show from the side, only squinted and smiled, blocking half of his face's fan, but still refused to put it down. I really think that I am a peerless beauty, and I will suffer a loss when I see it!
This stupid big man probably jumped off the wall in a hurry, knowing that it was impossible for him to please Chu Jiayin, so he made this decision, directly snatched her money, and fled. The villagers who trusted him were also dumbfounded, and they all shifted their thoughts.
The villagers beat their chests and regretted their mistakes: "It turns out that Ngawang is really this kind of person!" I just wanted to speak for him, and I thought about helping him in his old friendships! Phew! ”
"Tut-tut, it's really unseemly! Isn't it common in the village to throw things away for no reason? Maybe it was all stolen by this Ngawang! ”
When an ugly thing comes to light, it can always involve another thing.
"Yes, in vain, we are polite to their family on weekdays. Is! ”
The old gentleman standing beside Chu Jiayin also reacted in hindsight, and hurriedly said to Chu Jiayin: "Miss Chu, don't worry, we will help you recover your money!" ”
Instead, he greeted the noisy villagers over there and said, "Folks, although we are not a treasure of feng shui or a famous place, we can't lose our integrity, and we can't do unsightly things such as stealing chickens and dogs." Since Ngawang has done this, he is no longer worthy of being a member of our village, nor is he worthy of staying at the foot of Wutong Mountain, enjoying the blessing of relying on the mountain and eating the mountain! ”
"That's right! Come with me and chase Ngawang back! Miss Chu's money, how can such a villain easily take it away! If such people make a fortune on our turf, I am afraid we will all lose our luck! ”
After a short time, the villagers gathered in a corner of the village were dismissed by the people who came out to speak, and went around looking for Ngawang's traces.
After reading all this blankly, Ru Yun walked up to Chu Jiayin and asked, "Girl, do we want to stay for a while again?" ”
"No need! Let's go, it's only fifty taels of gold left and right. Chu Jiayin lost 7,000 taels of property last year, and now she is also so poor that she is panicking, and 50 taels of gold ingots is not a small amount for her.
It's just that it is important to find the whereabouts of the second brother now, and it can't be delayed for a moment, and it is really not a wise move to spend more time here!
Chu Liangshan snorted, and said to Chu Jiayin defiantly: "Sixth sister is so generous? When will I give my brother a few ingots or so but fifty taels of gold, my brother has been a little tight recently, and he has spare money to go to Hualou! Fang Min has been trapped for more than a year, and my life in the Chu family is not easy. Not only is the food not good, but even the monthly money is less than one month. ”
Chu Liangshan put down the fan, closed it, and patted it on the palm of his hand.
Chu Jiayin didn't want to give him a look, turned his head and left, only letting him see his back. Looking at Chu Jiayin's back, Chu Liangshan thrust the folding fan into his waist, put his hands behind his back, and quickly caught up with Chu Jiayin with his legs.
After catching up with someone, Chu Liangshan seemed to have completely forgotten that he had cheated Chu Jiayin before, and said to her affectionately: "Sixth sister, why are you so ruthless, didn't you hear a word of what I just said?" ”
"Chu Liangshan, have you forgotten why I came to this ghost place?" Chu Jiayin stopped, raised his head, and confronted him. Since he likes to entangle so much, Chu Jiayin will give him a chance to make it clear.
"I didn't forget, I didn't forget." Chu Liangshan didn't seem to know how serious the consequences of making a person angry were, especially a woman who didn't provoke too much.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to this hellish place, and I wouldn't have encountered so many troublesome and disgusting things one after another! Chu Liangshan, it's best to stay away from me, otherwise, even if I can't do anything about you, I will do my best to bite off a piece of meat on you! Chu Jiayin said.
She looked angry, like a swollen pufferfish.
When Chu Liangshan heard this, he seemed to have heard it all as a joke, so he actually laughed, and said very angrily: "But even if you tried your best, you didn't bite off a piece of meat on my body." ”
He stretched out a finger against Chu Jiayin's chin, raised her face, and the smile in her eyes was bright: "Do you know, Sixth Sister? Even if you have the Chu family behind you, you can't help me! People who don't have a home, who don't have any scruples, you can't win, you know? ”
"Let it go!" Chu Jiayin turned his head and dodged his dirty hands.
Chu Liangshan sneered: "If I move someone from the Chu family casually, I'm afraid you will have to jump up in a hurry, right?" But unlike you, I don't have anyone around me to coerce or hostage. My mother and sister don't treat me as relatives, and I don't like to see them as relatives. Looking at it this way, you are full of weak spots, and I am like an egg that a fly can't bite a bite! ”
Of course, his egg is fragile and will shatter if it touches a hard object. This can only be said to himself, as long as Chu Jiayin knows, she will never have a way to please him in his hands.
"Humph! People like you are pathetic even if they are invulnerable, right? Chu Jiayin gave him a resentful look, turned around, and swore that if there was no need, he would never pay attention to this nasty ghost again.
"Pathetic? Maybe. Chu Liangshan didn't care whether Chu Jiayin heard it or not, he said this.
Ru Yun, who had been waiting for Chu Jiayin in front, listened to it, and frowned slightly. People's hearts are separated from the belly, and the three of them go together, and only they know how much pickled rice is hidden.
……
The carriage of Chu Jingyan and his entourage back to Kyoto had already arrived in Lincheng, and they were about to rest for a while before marching to the outer city of Kyoto.
Feng Chenyue lifted the curtain, breathed in the air in Mingguang City, and said, "Young master, it's not early, let's find a place to rest for a while!" ”
This Mingguang City has the famous Wutong Mountain, which is said to have excellent scenery and is the highest mountain in the surrounding area. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see all the mountains and the inside of Kyoto.
It's a pity that since this Wutong Mountain was occupied by a guy surnamed Xu, no one has had the opportunity to climb to the top of the mountain. There are even people who try to climb the mountain, only to be turned into a corpse and thrown down the mountain the next day.
Chu Jingyan nodded, indicating that he agreed to stay here, and Feng Chenyue got out of the carriage. As soon as he got out of the car, Chu Jingyan asked where this was.
Feng Chenyue patiently replied: "Mingguang City in the outer city of Kyoto." ”
After watching Chu Jingyan's face, after a while, he added: "There is a Wutong Mountain in the territory. ”
Chu Jingyan glanced around, looking at the most prominent and conspicuous mountain standing among the peaks. Like the bamboo shoots that grow in the same batch in the bamboo forest, this mountain is the strongest among the bamboo shoots.
"Now that you're here, why don't you pretend to stay overnight again? Fengchenyue, you have been talking and doing things lately, which is particularly annoying. Especially this kind of behavior of pretending to be confused! Chu Jingyan flicked his sleeves and walked straight to the nearest inn near them.
Feng Chenyue bowed her head and did not allow any rebuttal. Your Highness, everything you say is right, but he doesn't like to hear it!
