The thug was not timid, and smiled: "A few days ago, our master came back with a message, saying that Old Man Zhang is not very kind. Obviously, he is holding a treasure, but he still can't pay off the debt of 10,000 taels of gold. The master said that she didn't do good deeds either, so she charged the old man a thousand taels of silver interest every day, and today happened to be three days, so naturally there was an extra three thousand taels of interest. ”

"One thousand taels a day! Why don't you put in the money! ”

Old man Zhang was so angry that he almost vomited blood, where is this collecting interest, this is simply robbing money!

But the thug didn't care, and said indifferently: "We don't release printed money, and it is illegal to release printed money privately." Old man Zhang doesn't even understand this, right? ”

He knows, of course he does!

But even the bullies who put the money in the black market don't charge so much interest. There is no doubt that a lion like Mu Ling opened his mouth, which made Old Man Zhang angry.

But what about wrath? People have said that they are not putting money in India, but just collecting debts.

And the backer behind the family is the emperor, even if you go to report to the official, it's useless, and you can't say that you will lose more.

Old man Zhang only felt a pain in his heart, covered his heart, staggered back two steps, and waved his hand weakly: "That's it, let's go and count how many silver taels are left in the account room first, and give them first." ”

The butler went down quickly, and came out in a few moments, with a small servant holding a box behind him.

Old man Zhang took it, glanced inside, covered it and handed it to the thug: "You have to count, the rest is here!" ”

The thug gave him a cool look, took the box and counted it.

There are some silver and gold ingots, and the bottom layer is full of silver tickets. The thug and the bookkeeper counted the amounts, wrote down the amounts one by one, and then closed the box and held it in his hand.

"It's a total of ninety-four thousand taels, so it's settled." The thug smiled, "Old Man Zhang has such a huge treasure, why do you have to rely on this mere 10,000 taels of gold?" also spent an extra three thousand taels of silver for nothing, and only a wealthy person like Mr. Zhang didn't take the three thousand taels in his eyes. ”

Before Old Man Zhang could say a few words, the thug shouted again: "Okay! That's the end of the day! We won't come again, the treasure master has explained, since Old Man Zhang knows where it is, let's dig it myself, and our master doesn't want it! ”

After speaking, he led the group to hula and left, leaving only an IOU.

The housekeeper picked up the IOU and held it to Old Man Zhang, Old Man Zhang lowered his eyes and looked at the words on Kan Ze's IOU, as if he saw the cunning faces of Mu Ling and Liang Chu, and he was suddenly angry, grabbed the IOU and tore it.

When has he been calculated like this!

Old man Zhang was so angry that smoke came out of his head, turned around and calmed down for a while, thinking of the news he had already spread, and his heart was a little more comfortable.

Something like a treasure is originally a cloud of people, and the temptation of treasure is greater than ordinary things, so he doesn't believe that such news is released, and the group of people in the martial arts have no inaction.

The 10,000 taels of gold should be the commission for buying that group of martial arts people!

Old man Zhang snorted coldly when he thought about it, and was about to go into the inner room, but a small guy outside ran in in a panic: "Master, it's not good, master!" ”

"What nonsense! The lord is very good! The butler quickly kicked the little guy.

Didn't you feel good when you didn't see the master? I have to come to this juncture to add to the blockage, I really don't want to live!

The little guy was kicked, rolled on the ground and knelt down: "Master, a group of Jianghu people came from outside the door, saying that they wanted to visit the master." The little ones can't stop it, I'm afraid that this group of people will break in! ”

"What?!"

Old man Zhang chuckled in his heart, and his complexion changed suddenly.

Jianghu people are the most difficult group to deal with, they are often gangs, have certain skills, and are a group of people who are the supremacy of force.

If you don't agree with each other, you can fight and kill, that is, the court chooses not to provoke, but they are at peace with each other.

And the Zhang family, as a force in the imperial court, has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes. And what they do has nothing to do with the rivers and lakes, if it weren't for the blocking of Mu Ling's group this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't even spread the news.

But when the news spread, it should be a large number of people from the rivers and lakes who are looking for trouble with Mu Ling's group of people, why did they come to the Zhang family?

Is it here to confirm the news?

Old man Zhang always felt that things were not so simple, but he couldn't think of what happened to him, so he could find an excuse to comfort himself.

"Call them in." Old man Zhang tidied up his clothes and sat on the top and waited.

The butler waved his hand, and the little guy ran out as if he were flying.

After a while, there was a noise outside, and a group of people dressed in different clothes walked in, and the middle-aged man in the lead was well-dressed, with a faint smile on his face, but it was not so comfortable to look at.

After taking care of everyone and taking their seats, Old Man Zhang glanced at it slightly, and then asked with some confidence in his heart: "I don't know if you have come from afar, but what are you doing?" ”

"You don't dare to do it, but I heard some news, so I came to ask." The middle-aged man bowed his hand and said with a smile.

Sure enough, he came to ask for news of the treasure.

Old man Zhang's heart settled down, and he smiled faintly: "I don't know what news you want to ask?" If you want to ask some secret affairs of the officialdom palace, then even the old man can't help you. ”

"Old man Zhang said with a smile, we Jianghu people asked what those were doing." The middle-aged man said, "There was a rumor of treasure on the rivers and lakes before, and it turned out that the divine envoy from the sea brought the treasure in those days. It's just that this treasure is not dedicated to the country of stability, nor is it excavated, so everyone thinks that since this treasure has been brought to the country of stability, it is a blessing for the country of stability, and it is good to dig it out. ”

"That's exactly what happened." Zhang Latou expressed his satisfaction with the people on the rivers and lakes having such a hypocritical perception.

He said, "Well, is there anything in the treasure that can't be impressed?"

I don't know how many legendary treasures there are, and people's hearts are always greedy, no matter how well they are disguised, their purpose will not be pure.

Who can sit still in the face of the news of the treasure?

Old man Zhang naturally understands that he can hypocritically cater to two sentences at this time.

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed, and he estimated Old Man Zhang's thoughts, and continued: "There are many brothers on the rivers and lakes who have gone to find the divine envoy, and the divine envoy's ability is extraordinary, so naturally the brothers have not taken advantage of the light, but they have also got a piece of news. ”

"Oh? What's the news? Old man Zhang suddenly had a bad premonition.
