Chapter 198: 18,000 taels
At this time, the mayor of the town also came, and she brought a number of guards, and a delicate beautiful girl followed behind.
The mayor of the town is a middle-aged man with a white face and beard, slightly fat, and a protruding round belly, which is indeed somewhat normal, but the gleam in his narrow eyes shows that this person is not simple.
The shopkeeper of the teahouse smiled and bowed to him without smiling: "The town chief is polite." The perfunctory meaning is so obvious that anyone can hear it.
But this town mayor Yin Shuo is a strange thing, after hearing the shopkeeper's words, he was not annoyed, but smiled and returned the salute: "The shopkeeper is polite, I heard that my daughter has caused you trouble here, here Yin apologizes to you." ”
The corner of the shopkeeper's mouth twitched, if it was usual, he wouldn't care about him, but now with 18,000 taels of silver, he can't ignore it.
"Miss Yin did get into some trouble here." As he spoke, he looked over to the table where the girl had fainted. When he saw the pieces of red broken jade underground, his heart still couldn't help but throb, and even the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
Yin Shuo is also a discerning person, when he saw his daughter, he first scanned the surrounding environment, of course, including the pile of broken jade on the ground, and the people around him clearly told him the truth of this matter, and it was estimated that he would have to pay for the silver again.
His brain was turning rapidly, but the woman next to him ran to the girl's side and hugged her, crying: "Daughter, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare your mother. ”
Yin Shuo quietly turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, the little girl is spoiled by me on weekdays, and she makes trouble everywhere, I don't know what trouble my daughter has caused this time?" ”
"Miss Yin ordered three pots of white hair tips and broke three sets of tea utensils." The shopkeeper narrowed his eyes and looked at Yin Shuo faintly.
Yin Shuo's heart trembled, but he didn't show any traces on his face, pretending to be ignorant: "Hehe, it's easy to say." Then he reached out and took out a piece of silver in his bosom and handed it to the shopkeeper, "This is one or two pieces of silver, and there is no need to look for more." ”
The space suddenly fell silent, and even the woman's crying stopped abruptly...... The shopkeeper's face was swollen and red, and he was angry.
The first to hold back was Li Tianquan, who laughed out loud: "Haha, there are still people here who don't know the white-haired tip, even if they don't know it, they can't even see the quality of the broken jade on the ground, and they ask for food for a tael of silver?" Hahaha, it's funny. ”
Facing everyone's ridicule, Yin Shuo didn't care: "It's just tea, how much can it be worth?" Even a few hundred dollars for tea and tea sets is enough, not to mention one or two. ”
The shopkeeper couldn't help it anymore: "The lowest price of my teahouse is one tael, even if it is an ordinary tea set, it will cost more than five taels, not to mention that Miss Yin drinks is the treasure of my teahouse, and the white hair tip is also the most precious agate jade in the store, Mayor Yin, do you think you are happy to give one or two silver?" ”
Yin Shuo's small eyes flickered, and then he said softly: "Then with the meaning of the shopkeeper, how much silver do you want me to lose?" ”
"18,000 taels."
"What?" Rao is Yin Shuo was well-informed again, and he was also taken aback by this number, and even his face changed.
His eyes looked sharply at the girl who had passed out in a coma, and the killing intent in his eyes suddenly rose, and soon calmed down again, he said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, are you laughing?" Yin has been building houses for some refugees recently, giving alms, and he doesn't have much silver taels under his hands. ”
I already knew that he would say this, but the shopkeeper was still angry, 18,000 taels, which is not a small amount, thinking of this person's cheating and slippery nature, it is not possible to use special means: "Mayor Yin, think about it, there is still any extra silver taels at home, otherwise, if the owner of the teahouse goes out in person, you will have to pay more than 18,000 taels." ”
Everyone present looked at each other, the owner of the teahouse is a mysterious existence, so far I don't know whose name this teahouse belongs to, but such a luxurious decoration and the precious tea in the store, it can be seen that the owner is either rich or expensive, it seems that this Mayor Yin is kicking the iron plate this time.
Mayor Yin has been in this town for many years, and naturally understands the stakes, and he is vomiting blood in his heart, although he doesn't show any expression on his face, he is obviously stiffened a lot: "Okay, okay, I'll look for it when I go back, even if I don't, I will definitely make it up for the shopkeeper, by the way, why did my daughter faint?" ”
Yin Shuo didn't want to continue the topic, but how could the shopkeeper be a stupid person, he glanced at Xiao Er. Xiao Er is also a quick one, and in the blink of an eye, he took out the four treasures of the study.
As soon as Yin Shuo saw this posture, he felt that the situation was not good, and sure enough, his thoughts only turned like this, and he listened to the shopkeeper say: "Since Mayor Yin has no spare money now, then let's make a note." ”
Yin Shuo laughed dryly: "I don't need to use the note, my Yin Mansion is not far from here, can I run the monk and the temple?" ”
Lai is really blatant, the shopkeeper is not the only one, and his tone is much tougher: "Mayor Yin should sign it, it will be easy to talk in the future." ”
Yin Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Don't the shopkeepers still believe in my personality?" Will the mayor of my town be greedy for your little money? ”
The shopkeeper is not an ordinary person, what wind and waves have not been seen? As for Yin Shuo's momentum, he still won't put it in his eyes: "I don't believe it, I just do things according to the rules, or does Mayor Yin not even know these rules?" ”
Seeing the people around him pointing at him, he has nowhere to be angry, these people are not those civilians who let him knead them, and they pull out one casually, and their status is higher than him, and he is the mayor of the town who says that it sounds good to have something to do with the official position, to put it bluntly, that is, a decent slave, sometimes even a slave in a big family is not as good. He was still self-aware of this, otherwise he wouldn't have been in this town for so long.
His mind turned for a moment, thinking that Beiyuan had been divided, and he didn't know if the officials above could manage it here, even if he signed the note, he couldn't pay the money, and no one might take care of the defendant.
But there is still some hesitation when pressing the handprint, after all, 18,000 taels, he has been diligent for several years, and he has only saved twenty or thirty thousand taels, and now it is all in vain, who is not heartbroken when it is put on it?
Just when he hesitated, the woman who was crying with her daughter suddenly ran up and grabbed his hand: "Master, you can't sign it, this is definitely not broken by my daughter, my daughter is unconscious, why should they say that one is one, and two is two?" I still don't know why my daughter is in a coma? Maybe they bullied our daughter. ”
