With the way of others and the way of others, Lu Jing played extremely skillfully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Yang Tianhong said the words "personal property" before, in fact, he has a very good appetite for Lu Jing. The old man was even a little proud, feeling that Yang Tianhong took the initiative to jump into the trap. Well, the price of 500 million taels of silver is still a bit low, and I should say a little more, 5 billion is about the same.

Yang Tianhong was not afraid at all, and opened his mouth and smiled: "The old lady of the Lu family is really a huge rich man, such a valuable flower and herb elixir is actually planted in the garden and left unattended. No matter what, there must be an explanation for right and wrong. 500 million taels is 500 million taels, which is not much. It's just that before Ben will come up with the silver money to compensate, shouldn't Old Lady Lu also compensate me a sum of money first?"

Lu Jing didn't quite understand what Yang Tianhong meant, and subconsciously asked, "Why should I compensate you?

Yang Tianhong pointed to the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast that was bolted nearby, and said seriously: "This is a different species of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, the Nine Heavens True Dragon descended to spread blood, and the Nine Yin Xuanling was nurtured and grown. This beast is wonderful, unique in the world, and extremely delicate. On weekdays, I don't eat non-spiritual fruits, and I don't drink non-jade liquid nectar. It took a lot of thought and cost to finally capture him alive. This spirit animal has extremely high requirements for the growth environment, and along the way, it will always ask people to feed it with special food at a high price. Just now, your Ding Mang bumped forward, and the dirty smell on his body had already collided with the spirit beast. The beast is bound to be seriously ill, and perhaps even die of injuries. How should this account be calculated?"

After a pause, Yang Tianhong continued: "Speaking of the specific amount, it will be based on the marriage contract between you and me, and it will be discounted in half, and it will be counted as five billion taels of silver." The 500 million taels of silver that had been compensated for the flowers and plants before were wiped out, and Mrs. Lu was also asked to supply another 4.5 billion taels of silver to the general. ”

Meng Qi walked over, looking afraid that the world would not be chaotic. shouted loudly: "That's right, 4.5 billion taels of silver, I will pay it now." Not a single point less!"

Lu Baoye's face sank, and he grabbed in front of his father and said angrily: "Blackmail! It's just blackmail! How can a mere water-avoiding golden-eyed beast deserve 4.5 billion taels of silver? Yang Tianhong, don't you want to deceive people too much?"

"It's too much of a deception?

Yang Tianhong said lightly: "Are you embarrassed to say this kind of thing? A garden alone dares to offer 500 million taels of silver." I see that your Lu family is afraid that you are crazy about silver. As I said before, this is not an ordinary water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, but a rare spirit beast in the world. If the Lu family can't come up with 4.5 billion taels of compensation today, they will play the Son of Heaven and put everything in front of the people of the world, so as to seek justice. ”

Lu Baoye's eyes were so angry that they almost burst into flames, and his teeth were bitten hard in his mouth, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Enough!"

Lu Jing took a deep breath. looked at Yang Tianhong with jealous eyes. An old man barely showed a smile on his face: "The old man is just joking with Yang Gongzi, why take it so seriously." ”

Yang Tianhong turned his head and looked at Lu Jing with a smile: "Old lady Lu just said that this garden is planted with 10,000-year-old purple leaf cloves, as well as thousand-year-old red ginseng that is about to mature. The Yang family has been honest people for generations, and they say the same. Since he ruined Old Lady Lu's elixir, he would have to pay it out with money anyway. In that case, how can it be said to be a joke?"

Lu Baoye stood beside him. Enraged, his face turned red, and his face turned white. He finally figured out the situation, this kind of business maneuver. Yang Tianhong is even more proficient than himself. Perhaps, everything was deliberately done by Yang Tianhong, just to provoke himself and make things more favorable to him.

What is the concept of 4.5 billion taels of silver? I am afraid that all the silver taels in the world combined, there is not so much.

The head of the family, Lu Jing, smiled dryly: "Where are the ten thousand year strange flowers? How can there be a thousand-year-old ginseng? If my Lu family really has such a miraculous medicine, how can the old decay become like this? Hahahaha! The old man also wants to be as young as you. I also want to be healthy. Before, it was indeed just a joke with Yang Gongzi. After all, the marriage contract has not been dissolved, and we are still in-laws. Speaking of which, it is also the people in the house who are not sensible. The hairy hands and feet frightened Yang Gongzi's wild beast. Not to mention chopping off that bastard's hand, even if it was to cut off his head, it should be. ”

A cold light of contempt flashed in Yang Tianhong's eyes. He glanced at Yang Yuan, who was standing with a horizontal knife next to the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, who nodded knowingly, put the knife into its sheath, and stood back in its original position.

Yang Tianhong's gaze fell back to Lu Jing: "So, shouldn't we talk about the marriage contract of my sister now?"

A smile appeared on Lu Jing's shrunken face: "Don't rush first." ”

Then, he instructed the housekeeper next to him: "Come on, serve tea to Yang Gongzi." ”

The tea and snacks were quickly served, and Yang Tianhong didn't even look at it, and said bluntly: "I won't drink the tea." The general is in charge of military affairs, and he has to hurry back to the army to cancel his leave. Since Old Lady Lu didn't care about this joke before, then let's open the skylight and say something bright: These wild beasts, how much do you Lu family pay for?

Lu Baoye was about to speak, but was fiercely suppressed by Lu Jing with a stern gaze. Lu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay! Explain things clearly now, and you won't have trouble in the future." Since Yang Gongzi insists on repenting of his marriage, and Miss Yang is not interested in my family's Hongzhi, then let's just one and two two, and count the accounts on the bright side. ”

After a pause, Lu Jing continued: "Young Master Yang brought six water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts this time, thirteen Xuantian Horses. These two kinds of wild beasts are all three products. According to the market price, it is worth 1,900,000 taels of silver at most. ”

Hearing this number, a trace of anger suddenly flashed in the depths of Yang Tianhong's eyes, but he did not show it on his face. He put his right hand on the arm of the chair, tapped his fingers slightly, and said calmly: "How did Old Lady Lu settle the account? ”

"That's right!"

Lu Jing smiled and said: "Although the desolate beast is rare, it is difficult to domesticate because of its strange nature, and few people ask about it. If it is a second-grade young animal, it is easy to regulate and feed. Therefore, the market price of the second-grade desolate beast is about 50,000 taels per head. Have you ever seen a peasant in the countryside raise a dog? Those animals have been fed since they were milking, and they can only become familiar with their owners when they grow up. If it's a big adult dog pulled from outside. Even if you feed it meat all day long, you are just as unruly. Although this kind of dog is large, it can only be killed and eaten for meat. The same is true for wild beasts, if the wild beasts brought back by Yang Gongzi are all second-grade, of course, the price can be higher. It's just that this water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and Xuantianjun are both three grades. The temperament is by no means as obedient as that of a young beast, and it is naturally impossible for a buyer to offer a high price. ”

Fallacious reasoning! Thoroughly crooked!

Yang Tianhong had long expected this situation. He smiled and asked, "So, can you tell me the price of each desolate beast to Ben General, and it's good to understand?"

Lu Jing's treacherous old face showed contempt, he stretched out his dry fingers, and drew the numbers back and forth on the coffee table: "You and I are considered in-laws, and no one can treat their in-laws badly." The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast is worth 80,000 taels of silver per head, and there are more guests who like Xuan Tianjun. The price is naturally higher, 90,000 taels of silver per horse. Together, that's one million six hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver. Considering that Yang Gongzi had traveled all the way and spent a lot of effort in order to catch these wild beasts, the old man really felt uneasy, so he added some more to this price, adding it to 1.9 million taels. ”

Lu Jing smiled proudly.

During the period before and after Yang Tianhong entered the Lu Mansion, Lu Jing was not idle.

Several guests came to Lu Mansion one after another. There is Li Shengjie, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the personal entourage of the eldest prince and so on. These people are getting the news. Want a piece of the pie. Lu Jing belongs to the kind of old and refined character, and he will definitely not let the fat in his mouth go out again. However, Lu Jing knew that Yang Tianhong was not a good person, and he could not be dismissed in one or two sentences. Therefore, before Yang Tianhong walked into the living room, Lu Jing urgently met with several distinguished visitors in the corner room at the back. A series of agreements were quickly reached.

......

In the backyard of the Lu Mansion, Yang Kai stood on the platform outside the side wing, looking at the blurred figures in the hall from a distance, and a cold smile gradually appeared on the white and tender face that had been smeared with too much makeup powder.

The prince's sources of information are very extensive. Yang Tianhong's caravan had just passed Hezhou. The official over there quickly sent the news over. The names of the two desolate beasts, the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast and the Xuantianjun, were placed in the form of words on the prince's case. Immediately, the crown prince issued an order: at all costs, at least five Xuantian horses must be obtained.

There are many people who love horses in the world, and the price of Xuan Tianjun remains high. The "ninety thousand taels and one horses" mentioned in the mouth of the old immortal Lu Jing is simply impossible. If you put the words "one million" in front of it, that's pretty much the same.

Yang Kai didn't think it was difficult to get a few Xuantian Horses. After the last Luopingshan incident, his status in the prince's mind has been greatly reduced, and the prince no longer even wants him to drink with him. Yang Kai felt very panicked, so he seized the opportunity this time, took advantage of the fact that others did not know the news, and swore to take over the task from the prince with a pat on his chest.

The prince did not rob by force, but wanted to spend money to buy it from Yang Tianhong. This practice is also the consistent style of the prince. For the beloved things that can be bought with silver money, the prince will definitely not be stingy with silver taels. Only those things that cannot be obtained by normal means, but they are fancied, will the prince use his power to forcibly snatch them.

Li Shengjie, the head of the household, sat on a chair and slowly sipped tea. He glanced at the back of Yang Kai standing in front of him, and frowned slightly.

For a guy like Yang Kai who is neither male nor female, Li Shengjie doesn't like it, and can even be said to be extremely disgusted.

But there is no way, after all, the other party is the direct entourage of the prince. Fortunately, Yang Kai came here only for Xuan Tianjun. It's not that you want to compete with yourself for the water-avoidance beast.

Thinking of this, Li Shengjie subconsciously stretched out his right leg and slowly stroked his sore knee with his palm.

Damn rheumatism. also blamed himself for being vigorous when he was young, and he just won the show, so he wanted to marry a young lady from a large local family. The woman had seen it once when she was in the spring when she was in the green, although it was not very colorful, but in the remote place of her hometown, she deserved the word "beauty". The man that a woman loves is nothing more than fame and money, and no matter how handsome he looks. The young Li Shengjie has no long things, and he can't find a few copper coins when he empties his pockets, and the only thing he can get his hands on is poetry and articles. A group of burly and sturdy peasant men came to the side, stripped naked and went down to the river for winter swimming. This was originally a custom in the northern countryside, and when the woman saw it, she applauded continuously. Li Shengjie was hot-headed and wanted to show off his majesty in front of the person he liked, so he also took off his clothes and went into the water. Although the skin on his body was blue from the cold, his hands and feet trembled. But I also got the woman to look at it a few more times.

Scholar, all day long just stay in the room to write warmly, where can he compare to the physique of a sturdy man? A winter swim completely put down the young Li Shengjie, and he couldn't move in bed all winter, and almost didn't die. It's also God's care. It took a few points to get better the next summer. But forever left cold legs rheumatism, and must live with a medicine jar for the rest of his life.

The monks' medical skills in the Duolin Temple are quite unique. After winning the Jinshi, Li Shengjie naturally has a rich net worth to invite these money-greedy bald donkeys to see a doctor. The abbot of Duolin Temple, Shi Fangcun, enjoyed ten virgins, and after asking Li Shengjie for 5,000 taels of silver, he faked his hand to the hospital of Tai Hospital and prescribed a good prescription for water-avoiding golden-eyed beast horn powder. On the prescription, Shi Fangcun specifically indicated: The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast must live. In this way, the cut horns will have an effect. If it is a horn cut off from a dead beast. If you can't get the bloodline spiritual energy of the desolate beast, it is naturally equivalent to waste.

There are too many restrictions on this prescription. Li Shengjie once felt that this was simply a bald donkey of Dolin Temple to prevaricate his own delaying tactics. After all, it's really difficult to get a water-avoiding golden-eyed beast in this world. And it has to be alive. Looking at the world, how many people can do this?

However, Shi Fangcun's miracle in medical skills is obvious to all. Of course, he is a monk after all, and he is somewhat afraid of the rules of heaven and earth. That's why I prescribe a prescription in Tai Hospital. And because of that. To some extent, the credibility of the prescription was also guaranteed by the Tai Hospital, and Li Shengjie also believed a lot.

I want to get a live water-avoiding golden-eyed beast directly from Yang Tianhong. In Li Shengjie's opinion, it is simply impossible.

God knows how that thief found out about his daughter's pregnancy. The household department has always been a money bag, and every month it allocates expenses to the officers and soldiers, and a considerable share of the benefits must be recovered. Yang Tianhong is simply an anomaly, not only did he take out the money, but he also came to the door to ask for the "floating" part. Every time he thought of this, Li Shengjie trembled with anger. Beard shaking.

Will he sell it to me?

Presumably so. What does a man do with so many water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts? That thing is not a woman. Li Shengjie knew very well that there was no friendship between himself and Yang Tianhong, if he proposed to buy a wild beast, that kid would definitely ask for a sky-high price, and empty the last child in Lao Tzu's pocket.

The area of the Lu family wing is very large. Along the walls, more than a dozen chairs were arranged. There were people sitting in each chair, either drinking tea slowly or whispering something together. There are also a few arrogant characters sitting alone, obviously unwilling to intersect with other people, with indifferent expressions and very cold eyes.

All of these people have one thing in common, that is, they are very luxuriously dressed and the tailoring is finely handmade. Regardless of the style or material texture, it is by no means affordable for ordinary people.

Most of these people, Li Shengjie can be named and named.

There is the steward of Jingning Palace, and the most trusted envoy of Princess Jinghua.

Chongwengong's brother-in-law sat in the corner, and a pair of thief's triangular eyes made people feel uncomfortable. I heard that this guy is very good at business, and when others go to the north, they exchange salt and iron objects with Rong Di for cattle, sheep and horses, but he finds another way and uses a lot of worthless gadgets to buy a large number of dead sheep and horses from the grassland herdsmen. The dead animals were cut into large pieces, smeared with salty salt and spices, dried in the sun, and sent to the southern interior in large quantities, turning them into expensive spiced beef jerky. Some people may feel uncomfortable after eating, or some people may be killed alive after eating. What the final result was, Li Shengjie is not very clear. However, seeing that this kid is still sitting here alive and kicking, it is speculated that he should continue this crazy unscrupulous business.

On the chair opposite sat a fat guy with clothes embroidered with gold thread embroidered into ingots. This guy's surname is Jin, and few people can call his real name, and he is greeted by "Lao Jin" and "Lao Jin" on weekdays. In the east, south, west and north of the capital, Lao Jin occupies more than half of them. His business is very complicated, and it seems that he will get involved in everything. However, Lao Jin's real core business is human trafficking. Whenever a place encounters natural disasters such as drought and flooding, it means that Lao Jin has the opportunity to make a fortune. The homeless man who is so hungry that his eyes are green doesn't care so much, even if there is only one steamed bun in front of him, he is willing to sell his wife and children to you. Lao Jin prides himself on being a good man, and always cooks a pot of broth in the nest of homeless people. It's so fragrant that just smelling it makes people salivate. A bowl of broth for a living person or something like that, Lao Jin himself doesn't know how much he has done. Of course, in order to maximize the principle of "maximizing commercial profits", the meat in the soup pot must not be cut from ordinary cattle and sheep, but from the starving people who starved to death on the side of the road. If the guy who was cut is not dead, then simply make up for the heart, so that the cut meat is still fresh, add more star anise, cinnamon and pepper, sprinkle with a handful of salt, boil into a thick soup, drink it hot, warm and fill the stomach.
