Meng Qi put down the tea bowl in his hand, nodded slowly, and replied casually, but the language was very vicious: "We are honest businessmen, but we are not robbers and bandits like your Lu family who deceive and deceive, and come to coerce and coerce with a marriage certificate." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Master Lu, you have two eyes on your nostrils, and you are not blind, go out and see for yourself, don't you know if it's true or not?"

Rao is no matter how well Lu Baoye is cultivated, he is still angry with Meng Qi's cynicism. His face turned pale, and he glared at Meng Qi angrily: "You'd better figure it out, it's your Yang family who owes our Lu family eight million taels of silver." It's so arrogant to come to pay the money, believe it or not, I'll send the marriage letter to Shuntian Mansion, and let Lord Yin of the Mansion judge who is right and who is wrong?"

Meng Qi sneered: "Then you go! My horse is tied to the outside and can be lent to you for free." This small amount of eight million taels of silver is what your Lu family is embarrassed to talk about all day long. My young lady said that if he really entered your Lu family, your son would definitely die of a violent illness within half a year. Now, we have handed over the goods, but you are not the eyes that stand up, not the chirps of the mouth. Master Lu, who are you as the young master of my family? Do you dare to question our credit? In my opinion, this business should not be done, so I will say goodbye and go back and let my young master drive the wild beast back and sell it, exchange it for silver taels, and send it over. Don't think that in the entire capital, only your Lu family can eat these goods. There are many people who want wild beasts. Believe it or not, as long as I Meng Qi shouts, I will be able to line up from the front of your Lu family to the city gate in no time?"

Lu Baoye was very angry and surprised.

Asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the ground is the most basic necessary skill for businessmen. It is also normal to question the manifest a few times, but I don't want to make Meng Qi angry. I originally wanted to come. In the matter of marriage, it should be the Lu family who has the upper hand. If it weren't for looking down on their son, the Yang family would not have promised to pay a huge compensation of eight million taels of silver. It's just that I don't know why, Meng Qi, who came over on behalf of the Yang family, actually had such an aura, he was not afraid of himself, and even turned around and left after the conversation collapsed.

This is absolutely not a no-go.

If it's something else. Lu Baoye didn't care at all. However, the bill of goods in his hand was clearly written: Yang Tianhong brought six water-sheltering golden-eyed beasts this time, as well as thirteen Xuantian horses, a total of nineteen desolate beasts.

The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast belongs to the three-grade desolate beast. Its true power is far less magical than the legends outside. Water-repellent golden-eyed beasts are good swimmers, outpacing most aquatic animals and even faster than fish. This beast has a thick layer of subcutaneous fat, and is fearless even in the snow and ice. Because the hair on the body surface is naturally oily, it comes out of the water. There will not be a drop of water on the body. As a result, it got the name of "water-avoiding golden-eyed beast".

Of course, this is a realistic version of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast. The Lu family has been rich and noble for generations, and has also collected a lot of ancient secrets. There is an ancient book that records that the actual ability of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast is actually not as simple as it seems. The word "avoid water" is indeed true, if this beast grows normally and develops into adulthood, it can have special spiritual power no less than that of a monk. Until then. It's normal to divide water and shelter from the rain, if someone rides on their backs. Clothes will never get wet. It's just that if you want the water-avoiding Golden Eye Beast to have such a magical ability, you must at least let it have the strength of more than seven grades.

It is said to be a secret, but in fact, as long as the dignitaries and dignitaries with a little wealth have heard of it. The people who really don't know anything about this are the common people.

The six water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts that Yang Tianhong caught were all three-grade desolate beasts. It is also commonly known as "young beasts". Still, this scarce beast is still precious. Especially the high-ranking officials and royal families of the Chu State, many people want to get one. They all have some relationship with the cultivation sect and are willing to pay a large sum of money in exchange for the monks to domesticate the water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts. The chance to make it to the seventh grade. As long as it is raised to adulthood, this spirit animal is a symbol of wealth that is difficult for anyone to match.

There is also Xuan Tianjun, which is not comparable to ordinary desolate beasts.

It is a beast that resembles a horse. The whole body is white, and there is not a single miscellaneous hair on the upper and lower parts of the mixed body, and some people directly call it "Silver Horse". This desolate beast grade is only a second-order, but it is the most expensive breed among all second-grade desolate beasts. The body shape of Xuantian Jun is similar to that of the Northern Title breed Dawan Horse, and the size and height are also about the same. The difference is that Xuan Tianjun has a wing under his left and right ribs. It is very small, and the volume is about the palm of an adult. This kind of desolate beast is equivalent to a thousand-mile horse in the world, with excellent endurance for long-distance running, and extremely strong explosive power, which is the top commodity in the desolate beast market.

Like the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, the second-grade Xuantian Horse is also a young beast. Seven grades should be the standard for many wild beasts to become adults. According to ancient records, the fleshy wings under the ribs of an adult Xuantian Jun will become extremely hard and powerful. With its wings spread out and a length of more than ten meters, it is able to soar freely through the air, even with heavy military crossbows.

The wild beasts are also divided into three, six, nine and so on. If the species of wild beasts listed on the manifest are ordinary, that's fine. But the problem is that the water-avoiding Golden Eye Beast and Xuan Tianjun are both very important, just looking at the name, Lu Baoye felt that his body was hot, and there seemed to be a boundless silver pair shaking into mountains and seas in front of him.

Thinking of this, it is not difficult to understand why Meng Qi has such confidence in speaking, and even arrogant, and he doesn't have to look at people at all.

Lu Baoye forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, clenched the bill of goods in his hand hard, and said in a deep voice: "You wait for a while, I'll come when I go." ”

The stakes are very high, and Lu Baoye can't be the master alone. This kind of thing must still be decided by the patriarch of the family.

Meng Qi snorted contemptuously at him, shook his clothes, sat down on the chair in the middle hall as if no one was around, knocked on the table, and shouted to the servant maid standing under the doorpost: "Give me a bowl of new tea for the master, I want the best tea, and all kinds of fine snacks are served." If I don't like it, I'll leave. Hmph!"

The maid looked at Lu Baoye with an inquiring gaze. Lu Baoye gritted his teeth, and the idea of wanting to devour Meng Qi alive came to his mind. He spewed two hot-blooded gasps of anger from his nostrils and whispered hatefully, "Give him whatever he wants." It's just a refreshment, and it's a big deal to kill this guy. Keep an eye on him, and don't leave until I come back. Otherwise, I'm the only one who asks. ”

Meng Qi is a Qi Refiner. The ear power is good. As soon as Lu Baoye left the hall, he beckoned to the maid and smiled with a smile: "Come here, sit in the uncle's arms." I see that your chest is a little swollen, it must be that your master is fierce and domineering, and he injured you. The old ghost of the Lu family is really good at it. actually beat a beautiful woman like you so miserably. Don't worry, uncle, my cure for this injury, as long as I help you rub it, the swelling will go down in a moment. Hey, hey, hey!"

......

Lu Jing, the patriarch of the Lu family, is in good spirits, although his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are deep in his sockets, but they are very bright, and he always radiates a shrewd gaze.

Looking at the manifest in front of him, Lu Jing fell silent.

Lu Jing's ambition was very great, and he wanted to include all the channels for the circulation of goods in the world. In the words of another world. It is to form a powerful trust and become a global monopoly.

It's certainly good to have ideas. However, in practice, it is difficult. Otherwise, he would not have caught the line of hussar general Yang Jing more than ten years ago.

Lu Jing originally thought that Yang Tianhong was just talking about regretting his marriage. After all, eight million taels of silver is not a small amount. Even if the Yang family smashed the pot and sold iron, they couldn't get it. When the time comes, Yang Qiurong will still be married honestly.

The reason why old people are scary is that they have a sophisticated vision and a wealth of experience that young people simply can't have. Just move your mouth. The old man can weave a trap for the young man to fall into without realizing it.

Of course, Lu Jing knew that Yang Tianhong left the capital and went to Hessian Mountain. Lu Jing also trusted his own judgment.

Are you kidding. What is Hessian? It's true that it's full of wild beasts, but wealth is often accompanied by death. Otherwise, everyone in the world knows that the desolate beast is valuable, but few can take it away from the Hessian mountains. The Gao family is an exception, and that is also because the ancestors of the Gao family used countless lives to deal with wild beasts, and they don't know how many died. In exchange for the advantage of being familiar with the habits of beasts. A fledgling young man like Yang Tianhong actually wanted to capture wild beasts...... I really don't know how to write the word "death".

Looking at the entries listed on the manifest, Lu Jing's shriveled lips moved, and he made a hoarse and slight voice: "I really didn't expect him to succeed?"

This is both a question for oneself and a suspicion.

Of course, Lu Baoye understood the meaning of his family's elder words. He said seriously: "Yang Tianhong obviously did it on purpose. The man sent out to inquire has returned. When Yang Tianhong entered the city. He was stopped outside by the defenders. He broke out and killed the officer of the city guard on the spot, and the matter had been reported to the Shuntian Mansion and the military department. The reason why he sent someone to come first was also because he wanted to solve these troubles. However, the beast is real. The Yang family's caravan walked through the streets and alleys, obviously with the idea of wanting to show off in the capital. Everyone in the city knew about this, and the Water-Avoiding Golden Eye Beast and Xuan Tianjun couldn't fake it. Now, Meng Qi's kid is still waiting outside. ”

"Humph!"

Lu Jing snorted very disdainfully: "He wants to put our Lu family on the bright side and let more people participate." The water-avoiding Golden Eye Beast and the Xuantian Horse are both top-grade desolate beasts that are difficult to buy. Although the grade is average, it is superior to the unique ability. Yang Tianhong made it clear that he wanted to break off the marriage with my Lu family. In the eyes of outsiders, this has become my Lu family's deliberate embarrassment of his Yang family, and it has also taken a big advantage from it. ”

Lu Baoye pondered for a moment and said, "Yang Tianhong is a scheming person. If it was just to capture the desolate beast to pay off the debts of the Dulu family, this would be reasonable. Today's murder at the city gate is obviously to expand the momentum and let more people know about the marriage dispute between the Yang family and us. If there were no outsiders involved, then the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast would probably be priced at 50,000 taels at most, and the price of Xuan Tianjun would be slightly higher, and it would definitely not exceed 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver. In this way, the full value of those desolate beasts is at most two million taels. ”

Lu Jing's face showed more and more profound hatred: "Yes! The goods that could have been won for two million taels of silver were handled by him, and the cost was doubled. But then again, if these water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts and Xuantian Horses were put outside, it would be absolutely impossible to buy them with this number. In any case, Yang Tianhong's use of the desolate beast to pay off the debt must be a benefit for our Lu family. It's just that he didn't want us to sit back and enjoy it in vain, so he deliberately made a murder at the city gate and brought many wild beasts through the city into the city. If I'm not mistaken, there is already a lot of uproar in the capital for these wild beasts. Perhaps, even His Majesty and the princes are interested. ”

Lu Baoye nodded again and again: "Not bad." The eldest prince has always loved famous horses, and has always wanted to get a famous horse carriage without variegation. He will never let go of these Xuantian horses. Don't say it's eight million taels of silver, even if the value is high, the eldest prince will buy it with all his might. The profit is definitely a lot of money. ”

Lu Jing slowly glanced at Lu Baoye, and said lightly: "Li Shangshu of the household department has been looking for the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast. Reputedly. The single horn of this beast is ground into powder, which can cure the wind and cold for many years. This recipe is said to have been prescribed by the Board of Directors of the Tai Hospital, and the horns of the beast must be sawed off from the head of a living water-proof golden-eyed beast in order to maintain sufficient medicinal effect. Hmph! It's hard to find a live water-avoiding golden-eyed beast, let alone take a corner from the head of a living beast. The household department has money, and Li Shangshu may have set a sky-high price of as high as one million taels of silver in private. This shouldn't be his bottom line, if he can really get a live beast, I'm afraid that even if it is doubled, Li Shangshu will gladly follow it. ”

Lu Baoye's eyes released fanaticism and greed: "Six water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts. Thirteen Xuantian horses, as long as they find the right buyer, the silver they earn back is simply overwhelming. The state of Chu is not as rich as the country of Qi, and if Xuantianjun is transported over, the monarch of the state of Qi will definitely buy it. There are also those pirates on the eastern sea, whose strong demand for water-avoiding golden-eyed beasts can also be exchanged for large sums of silver. Anyway, this time our Lu family definitely made money. I'm afraid there is only a guy like Yang Tianhong who wants to break off his in-laws. Only then did I think of using the desolate beast to pay off the debt. If he had been a little smarter, he would have sold the beast in this capital. At most, we get silver, but we can't make more money out of it. ”

Hearing this, Lu Jing's old face showed a trace of solemnity, his fanaticism for money gradually disappeared, and his brows gradually wrinkled. He paced back and forth on the ground a few steps, his expression becoming more and more serious. There was an elusive glimmer in his cloudy eyes.

"I'm afraid it's not going to be as simple as you think. ”

Lu Jing's voice was still hoarse: "You said before that the person who came to the house to deliver the delivery order was the kid from the Meng family. I know Meng Xiong very well, he is extremely old and has a calm temperament. Although there are too many tiger fathers and dogs in this world. But even if the Meng family kid is a waste, Meng Xiong will not let him come nonsense. The Meng family and the Yang family were very close, and it was impossible for them to be unaware of the matter of the desolate beast. We all know that these desolate beasts can increase their profits several times when they change hands, how can he, the Meng family, know nothing?"

Lu Baoye was stunned. After nearly half a minute, he hesitated to ask, "Father, what do you mean......"

Lu Jing proudly stroked the long beard on his chest, squinted his eyes and looked at the scenery in the distance outside the window: "Eight million taels of silver is a lot of money. But when compared to immortality, it is not worth mentioning. Yang Tianhong is not the kind of person who can take advantage of losses. There must be an extremely ruthless killing hidden in this matter. It's just that I can't see through it yet. ”

Lu Baoye thought for a while and said, "Then we refuse to accept these desolate beasts and ask him to pay off his debts with silver?"

Lu Jing shook his head: "This method is not advisable. Not to mention that there are as many as nineteen precious desolate beasts, even if it is only half of the number, after being resold by my Lu family's hands, the profit will not be less than ten million taels. Asking for silver instead of a wild beast is no different from throwing silver into the water for nothing. If we really do this, maybe it will also be in Yang Tianhong's arms. ”

Lu Baoye was confused by his father's inconsistent words, and subconsciously asked, "Why?"

Lu Jing glared at his son very dissatisfied, and was quite angry: "In this matter, Yang Tianhong has taken the lead. Even if we proposed not to use the beast for silver, he also received a well-known effect. Everyone knows that these wild beasts were specially captured by him for my Lu family, and when someone lowers the price, he can completely carry my Lu family out, saying that these wild beasts are all goods set by us, and it is not easy to sell them to others. In this way, the buyer could only honestly take out the silver according to his price, and a large amount of profit and silver money flowed into his Yang Tianhong's pocket. ”

Lu Baoye opened his mouth and said in disbelief: "He, he would really do this? That kid is young, how could he have such a deep scheming?"

Lu Jing's tone was already mixed with a lot of anger: "Do you think that everyone in the world is as stupid as your waste son? Don't talk about it, just look at the Yang family, your son Lu Hongzhi is several years older than others, but apart from walking his dog and horses all day long, spending all day drinking, how much else does he know? The business in the trading house is never taken care of, the account books are not looked at in front of him, and even the difference between southern and northern goods is confused. is this kind of straw bag with a human head and pig brain, and he is embarrassed to chase into the Guozijian and clamore to marry the eldest lady of the Yang family. If it weren't for the fact that the Yang family wrote the marriage letter back then, the hussar general also died on the battlefield, and if I were the head of the Yang family, I would have split your son in half with a knife. ”

Lu Jing did not show any morality when he cursed. He obviously also had a headache for his precious grandson, so he was angered by Lu Baoye's words and scolded endlessly. (To be continued.) )
