Chapter 45: Climbing the Ladder
Qiu Baidong was forced by Shi Fugui to set up the documents for the sale of land.
In order to pay off his gambling debts, he was forced to put his fingerprints on them.
In white and black, no one can deny it.
I watched this farce, and my heart was really mixed.
If yesterday, I could sell this wasteland in a hundred oceans, I estimate that Qiu Baidong would wake up laughing when he sleeps.
But today, he sold the same piece of land in the orchid garden for a thousand oceans, but he cried into a tearful man, which he regretted......
If you want to talk about this man, that's amazing......
The mountains of gold and silver depend on the young master's mouth......
I moved my limbs and asked Shi Fugui, "Young Master Shi, is the note ready?" ”
Shi Fugui patted the title deed document and smiled at me: "Look at it!" These white and black letters are all mine now! Little second brother, now it's up to you to do it! ”
"As long as you dig it out, there is mine, and you will have yours!" He tapped me the shoulder.
I nodded and turned to Qiu Baidong, pointed to the silver ticket in his hand and said, "Old Qiu, things are already like this, don't regret it, hurry up and collect the money!" ”
Qiu Baidong listened to my words, looked at me twice, his eyes were full of reluctance, put the silver ticket in his arms, squatted on the ground and began to sigh to himself.
"Can I tear up this gambling debt IOU for you?" I casually asked Qiu Baidong.
"Tear it up! Tear it up! It's a hundred! Qiu Baidong didn't look back, and waved his hand at me helplessly.
I stood up, tore the notes of Qiu Baidong's gambling debts to shreds for a moment, and raised them up, and these pieces of paper were scattered in the wind like pear blossoms in spring.
I turned to Shi Fugui and asked, "Young Master Shi, is it beautiful?" ”
Shi Fugui smiled like a flower, "Beautiful! Today is the most beautiful day for Young Master Ben. ”
I secretly laughed in my heart: Beautiful! Hurry up and be beautiful! Young Master Ben is going to do another trick.
Just now, he conjured up mountains of gold and silver......
This time, Young Master Ben wants to turn this mountain of gold and silver into gold and silver paper for you immediately.
At this time, Shi Fugui turned his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Little second brother, now you can take us to the cellar!" ”
I asked in surprise, "Young Master Shi, when did I say that there is a cellar?" ”
"Hey, didn't you say that?" Shi Fugui was surprised when he heard it, "Didn't you say that you have a treasure hiding place, which was left to you by your mother?" ”
I shook my head and smiled, "I said you just believe it, oh, you're a pig brain?" ”
"Huh?" Shi Fugui looked at me, his face changed, and asked, "...... you What did you say? ”
I said seriously, "I'm just making up a story, are you really serious?" ”
"You!" Shi Fugui's face was flushed with anger, and his finger kept shaking at me, "You are called Hanako, you dare to deceive Young Master Ben!" ”
I pointed to the paperwork in his hand and said, "I didn't lie to you!" Aren't you going to buy land? Didn't you buy the land now? ”
Shi Fugui grabbed the paperwork in his hand and trembled angrily, "I'm bah! I bought a piece of wasteland, I bought a wasteland for a thousand oceans...... You stinky begging for food! ”
I laughed and said, "Don't you think it's worth it?" Then why did you spend two hundred oceans to buy this wasteland? I don't think fifty dollars is worth it! ”
When Shi Fugui heard this, he collapsed to the ground in anger, dragging the document and crying: "I have done evil!" I've fallen for something! I spent this money on this waste ......"
When I saw him like this, I smiled crookedly.
Shi Fugui saw that I was laughing at him, so he quickly turned over and sat up, pointed at me and scolded: "Okay, you stinky person who wants food, dare to play this young master, come here!" Call me! ”
As soon as the strong men behind him heard the order, they rushed towards me.
I hurriedly waved my hand and said with a smile: "Wait! If you don't want it, you can sell it to me!" ”
When all the strong men heard this, they all stopped, and looked back at their master.
Shi Fugui listened to my words, his eyes lit up, he hurriedly got up from the ground, rushed to me and asked, "You want to buy it, how much do you pay?" ”
I said, "This wasteland is full of graves, and this church has been ruined by you, so what can you buy it for now?" Fifty oceans is too much! ”
Shi Fugui shouted angrily when he heard this: "Okay, you want to eat, call me!" ”
"Hey, wait a minute," I waved my hand again, "and I won't let you suffer." ”
"In this way, you bought this land for a thousand yuan, and after deducting the two hundred gambling debts, the actual payment is eight hundred oceans, right?"
Shi Fugui nodded.
I smiled and said, "I'm out of these eight hundred oceans!" ”
Shi Fugui was overjoyed when he heard this, "What do you say?" ”
I nodded and said, "Hurry up and make a note, I'll say what I say!" ”
Shi Fugui hurriedly picked up the pen and paper on the side and wrote, and when he was halfway through writing, he suddenly turned pale and said to himself: "That's not right! You stinky begging for food, where did you come from the 800 oceans? Are you trying to lie to me again? ”
I was thinking about revealing my identity, when a person squeezed out of the crowd and helped me out.
I only heard this person shout at me: "Young master, you can let me find it easily!" The old lady is worried about you, why are you running here? ”
I turned my head and saw that it was actually Lan Youquan who was speaking, so I smiled and said, "It's okay!" I'll buy a piece of land! ”
Qiu Baidong, who was on the side, saw Lan Youquan and hurriedly came up and asked, "Hey! I said Butler Lan, aren't you the top Lu family in this county? I see you on weekdays, why are you polite to this Hanako this time? ”
Lan Youquan pointed at me and said with a smile, "This is our Young Master Lu, if I don't be polite to him, who am I polite to?" ”
"Huh?" Qiu Baidong was dumbfounded on the spot.
Shi Fugui was even more shocked that his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and he asked me tremblingly, "Are you Young Master Lu of the Lu family?" ”
I smiled and nodded, and shook off the tattered monk's robe on my body, "I'm Lu Fusheng, just like a fake!" ”
"That'...... This note? ”
Shi Fugui trembled and pointed to the paperwork in his hand.
I put on a smile and said to him seriously: "Shi Fugui, I am out of the eight hundred oceans, you can quickly transfer it to me!" I'll pay you right away! You don't lose a penny! ”
Shi Fugui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly finished writing the new transfer document and pressed the handprint, and when I was about to press the handprint, suddenly there was a loud shout from the side.
"Shi Fugui! You've eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall! You dare not listen to the words of the head of the Su sect! ”
I raised my eyes and saw a group of people squeezing in from the crowd, all of them were wearing cyan robes, and the leader turned out to be Wu Liangxing!
I was also surprised, and I didn't understand why Wu Liangxing appeared at this time.
Wu Liangxing didn't say a word, stepped forward and snatched the paperwork in Shi Fugui's hand to look at it, and said with a smile: "Since you have bought the land of Orchid Garden, I blame you!" I'll give you credit when I go back! ”
Shi Fugui said with a bitter face: "Sect Chief Wu, you gave me two hundred oceans, and I bought it for a thousand oceans!" I've lost all my money! ”
Wu Liangxing sneered: "Fifty oceans of this wasteland is too much, you bastard, why did you spend a thousand oceans?" ”
Shi Fugui pointed at me and said, "It's not this Young Master Lu of the Lu family, he harmed me!" ”
Wu Liangxing turned his head to look at me, and asked me, "You are Young Master Lu of the Lu family at the South Gate?" ”
I replied angrily: "I am!" ”
Wu Liangxing nodded after hearing this, and sneered: "Your Lu family is so magnificent!" Dare to bully my Yi Guandao's head! ”
I sneered, "How dare I? Am I not going to buy this land? The money I paid, Young Master Shi didn't suffer a loss, did he? ”
Wu Liangxing turned his head to look at Shi Fugui, who said with a bitter face: "This Young Master Lu is willing to go out of eight hundred oceans to buy it, and I won't suffer a loss!" ”
Wu Liangxing sneered at him: "Are you not suffering, what about the two hundred oceans that the Su Sect Leader gave you?" Let the dogs eat it? ”
Shi Fugui quickly thought about it, touched the back of his head and said, "Yes, I also took the first two hundred oceans of the Su Sect?" How did I forget this money? ”
When I saw that Fugui's brain was dumber than a pig, I laughed, "Good! Isn't it just two hundred oceans? I'll add another two hundred, a thousand oceans and sell it to me, okay? ”
Shi Fugui was overjoyed when he heard this, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Wu Liangxing.
Wu Liangxing sneered at me: "You want to buy it for a thousand yuan, but I don't want to sell it yet!" ”
Shi Fugui pleaded with a bitter face: "Sect Chief Wu, our family is a meat seller, we can't afford to pay for this thousand oceans!" ”
Wu Liangxing stared at him and sneered: "Okay! You sell it! ”
Shi Fugui smiled when he heard this, "I thank you for my father......"
But before he finished speaking, he heard Wu Liangxing say coldly: "If you dare to sell, we will let your Xinfa butcher shop disappear from the territory of Nanwu from now on, do you believe it or not?" ”
When Shi Fugui heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he trembled and said, "I...... I don't sell it......"
"That's how obedient," Wu Liangxing said with a smile: "We Yi Guandao won't treat you badly, and when the time comes, you will be given the identity of a big disciple of the branch altar, and you can also earn the money back!" ”
Shi Fugui broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and replied: "Everything is under the orders of Sect Leader Wu......"
Wu Liangxing turned his head and looked at me coldly, "How is it?" Young Master Lu, are you still fighting with us now? ”
When I saw this situation, I was also depressed, and asked, "Wu Liangxing, how can you give me this land?" ”
Wu Liangxing snorted coldly and said, "It's not impossible for you to ask for this land, but if you want to outperform us, I can give it to you!" ”
When I heard this, I was secretly happy and asked, "Okay! Young Master Ben will compare with you, what do you want to compare? ”
Wu Liangxing laughed when he heard this, and shouted: "Lift me up the ladder!" ”
There was a commotion outside the crowd, and I saw three Yiguan Taoist disciples carrying a straight log up, with a few arm-thick hemp ropes tied to the top of the log, and a small yellow flag with the words "Immortal Mother, the only one for all generations" written on the flag.
Wu Liangxing lifted the log in front of his eyes, wrapped the transfer note in his hand with Shi Fugui's handprint on the small flag and tied it tightly, and smiled at me.
I didn't know why, I just stared blankly.
At this time, I saw seven or eight Yiguan Daoists carrying shovels digging a pit in the open space in front of the Rose Hall, and carried this log over and stood in the pit, and the three hemp ropes at the top of the log were pulled by these seven or eight Yiguan Daoists respectively, and they pulled it outward, and the log was erected high in one fell swoop.
When I looked up, I saw that this log was seven or eight feet high, and I suddenly understood in my heart what this is called "climbing the ladder".
I once heard my second uncle tell me that at the beginning of the rise of some crooked and evil ways, in order to attract believers, they often organized their disciples to display the so-called "magic skills" in the market, that is, to arrange a boy to fight and self-harm in front of everyone's eyes, or to take chestnuts in the fire, in short, ordinary people dare not do and cannot do.
As long as he was still safe and sound after showing his "miraculous skills", the boy claimed to be blessed by his immortal mother, and the onlookers believed it to be true, and joined the religion one after another to become believers, so that these crooked and heretical ways gradually grew, and some of them were even so big that even the local government did not dare to ask about it.
Now this Yi Guandao has put up a "ladder to climb the clouds" in front of me, obviously intending to try my ability to climb high and climb the clouds.
This Wu Liangxing is very vicious, he not only wants me to make a fool of myself in public, but also wants to use a boy to evolve their so-called "magic skills" in public!
If they win, they will be blessed by the Immortal Mother, and they will preach their demagogic teachings, and in the future, they will use so-called spells to harm others and collect money.
And if I lose, I'll be an aider on the spot.
As soon as I thought of this, I secretly smacked my tongue, and my heart was even more miserable.
I'm not afraid of heaven and earth, but I'm afraid of height!
How am I going to win?
