Chapter 135: Crooked Strike
Liu Bowen remained silent, and asked again: "Okay, it's really a great benefit for our courtiers." May I ask the king of Xiang, how can Weichen live? ”
Zhu Bai said: "Make a deposit, and then when I collect the deposit, I will start building." ”
Liu Bowen said: "How long will it take to build it?" ”
Zhu Bai said: "This, this king has to see the progress of collecting money, let alone half a year." ”
Liu Bowen said: "Okay." Wechen ordered a five-room one. How much is the deposit. ”
Zhu Bai said, "Twenty taels of silver." ”
Liu Bowen's eyelids jumped: This bastard boy drew a few frames on the paper casually, and he dared to come and collect twenty taels of silver deposit from me.
And seeing him like this, he doesn't just want to take me.
Zhu Bai's eyes looking at Liu Bowen were extremely sincere and sincere.
Liu Bowen's heart moved: No. This kid is not short of money, and the monkey spirit, how could he do such a thankless job?
It seems that I can't support it, otherwise how can I know what he wants to do?
He beckoned to Zhu Bai: "Come on, come on, Your Highness will come with Weichen." ”
He took the silver, took Zhu Bai into the study, took a pen dipped in ink and handed it to Zhu Bai.
"Your Highness is tired of writing me a note."
Zhu Bai took the silver and stuffed it into his arms, and said with a smile: "It's easy to say." ”
Then he wrote a receipt to Liu Bowen in the same words as a dog, and gave it away: "Then the king will leave, and the master doesn't need to send it." ”
Liu Bowen: "Your Highness, it's easy to go." ”
Zhu Bai came out of Liu Bowen's house and went to Zeng Bingzheng's house again.
Zeng Bingzheng stayed in Shaanxi for half a year, and Lao Zhu transferred him back to serve as a waiter in the Criminal Department, leading the Sanpin Yulu.
It is equivalent to directly upgrading three levels.
Zeng Bingzheng soared all the way, naturally he couldn't forget Zhu Bai's previous "guidance" grace, saw Zhu Bai coming, hurriedly greeted him, and saluted Zhu Bai respectfully: "What advice does Your Highness have for coming to the cold house?" ”
Liu Bowen is still sincere, and he receives a good product.
Zeng Bingzheng is even lower, not to mention honesty, and he will not tell fortunes to earn extra money.
So he is poorer than Liu Bowen.
There are three broken tile houses, where three generations live, and they were rented before they were promoted.
Tsk, that's pathetic.
It's a bit unbearable to lie to him.
But there is no way, I can't bear to cheat.
Zhu Bai took out the drawings again and talked to Zeng Bingzheng.
Zeng Bingzheng listened with joy.
His three small dilapidated rooms cost thirty taels a year, which really killed him.
If you can really rent three buildings with Zhu Bai for fifteen taels, wouldn't it save a lot of money.
It's just that this thing doesn't sound very reliable.
Zhu Bai said: "I just came out of Master Liu Ji, and he has already paid all the deposits. ”
Zeng Bingzheng heard that Liu Ji followed, no longer hesitated, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "In this way, the old minister will also make a deposit." How much do you need? ”
Zhu Bai said: "Fifteen taels." ”
Zeng Bingzheng was taken aback: "Fifteen taels?!" So much. ”
Zhu Bai said: "When the time comes, it will be directly deducted from the rent for one year." ”
Zeng Bingzheng had a pain in his flesh.
It took him a year to save enough for fifteen taels of silver.......
That's it, it was supposed to rent a house for next year.
Zeng Bingzheng took out a rag bag from inside, uncovered layer after layer, and finally revealed a few pieces of broken silver. He stretched out his hand, felt reluctant again, and retracted it: "King Xiang." Don't lie to Wechen. Weichen's family is poor and can't afford to cheat. ”
Zhu Bai smiled: "If it doesn't work, this king will calculate the interest for you." Is this king the one who lacks this bit of silver? ”
Zeng Bingzheng thought about it: yes. I heard that Zhu Bai earns money in boxes and boxes. These dozen taels of silver are really nothing to him.
Zhu Bai then went to Song Lian's house.
Song Lian is the best to deceive, ah, no, he is the easiest to be persuaded.
Because he often sells calligraphy and paintings, he has a lot of money, so he gave Zhu Bai twenty taels very quickly.
Li Shanchang and the others were all numb to Zhu Bai's blackmail, and they took out the silver without waiting for Zhu Bai to finish speaking, and they didn't even let Zhu Bai write the receipt.
Hu Weiyong also surprisingly cooperated, and asked Zhu Bai if twenty taels was enough.
Zhu Bai accepted about three hundred taels of silver, and then returned to the palace triumphantly.
Fugui silently followed Zhu Bai to register with a notebook all afternoon, and waited until there was no one around him when he returned to the palace before he spoke: "Your Highness." These three hundred taels of silver are not enough to build so many houses. You promised the grown-ups......"
Zhu Bai played too big this time.
A total of two positive products were deceived, two from one product, and countless other grades.
The officials who are qualified to go to the court have basically been deceived all over again.
If this is a fuss......
Zhu Bai is no longer afraid of death, so he can think of a way out.
Zhu Bai bared his teeth and smiled: "Don't worry, there are people above this king, and I know it." ”
Fugui sighed secretly: My lord, when the time comes, Lao Zhu may not be able to protect you.
----
Zhu Bai has been busy deceiving people these days.
Everyone who can deceive has been deceived, so they are waiting for this thunder to explode.
He's going to do something else today.
Every day, he heard these ministers say that the housing prices of Yingtian are expensive, and he felt that the business of renting a house was a problem, so he decided to buy a few small yards to rent out and be a charter officer. This is money makes money, and it is much more cost-effective to have money while sitting than to hold all the silver in your hands.
He walked around the alley of Yingtiancheng with his hands behind his back, and saw that there was a small courtyard by the bridge.
The size is right, and it is quiet in the middle of noisy.
So he went up and knocked on the door, intending to ask if they would sell it.
As a result, as soon as the owner opened the door and faced a group of fierce guards, before Zhu Bai could speak, he directly slammed the door again.
Zhu Bai was helpless and waved his hand to the guards: "You stay away from me." At least ten feet. It's better to hide. ”
Zhang Yu hesitated: the paint bucket and archery that day were fortunately in danger, otherwise they would not be able to eat and walk around.
How dare you be so far away from Zhu Bai today.
Zhu Bai said: "Leave the rich." ”
Zhang Yu could only wave his hand at the other guards, and then retreated.
Only then did Zhu Bai come forward and knock on the door again.
The man inside said in a trembling voice, "What are you going to do?" In broad daylight. ”
Zhu Bai said: "Master, I'm not a bad person, I want to buy a house with you." ”
The man: "Not for sale." ”
Zhu Bai was annoyed and said, "The official house is rounding! ”
The man opened the door a small crack.
Fugui took out his tooth tag and shook it.
The man bowed his hand to Fugui: "The official has a few days." We found a place to stay and moved out. ”
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly: Roar, it's really better to choose a day than to hit the day, and directly catch someone who forcibly occupies someone else's house.
He took a step back, Fugui was about to kick the door, and the guards were about to rush up.
The man knelt down in the door: "Official, there is an eighty-year-old lady in the family, and my wife still has a big belly. We really don't have anywhere to go, and no one has come in to stay here. When my wife gives birth to the baby, we will leave. ”
Zhu Bai looked at the person in the courtyard who was cowering inside, and confirmed that this person was telling the truth, so he said, "You better find a place to live quickly." When the time comes, it will not be up to me to make the official rounds. ”
The man hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you, sir." ”
