Chapter 13: Preventing the Odds

Du Chengbo was a little dizzy with anger.

He is also an earl anyway, how can this person with a head and face in the Qiandu City make such a thing as letting go of cruel words yesterday and begging for mercy today?

If it is spread out and those nobles listen to it, how can they behave?

Isn't this borrowing his own name to make a name for the Marquis of Wuling?

He asked himself if he could do such a stupid thing.

However, the butler's next sentence made him completely change his mind.

"Master, how can this face be as important as silver."

When Du Chengbo heard this, he was suddenly enlightened.

Oh, yes!

I'm pictured!

How much is face worth? Where does the silver matter?

If you are looked down upon, you will be looked down upon, and if you can't be a person, you can't be a person, as long as you can make money.

Du Chengbo looked at the butler in shock, full of thoughts.

He found that he had been so blinded by the extravagance of life over the years that he had to be reminded of such simple truths.

"Yes, yes! You're right, set off immediately and go to the Marquis of Wuling's mansion! ”

The Marquis of Wuling's Mansion.

This time, Du Chengbo came to the door respectfully with a gift.

Although the gift was just a few ordinary melons and fruits, it was really unprecedented for this unstoppable iron rooster.

"Virtuous nephew, you eat this fruit, it is all freshly picked from the tree, and it is very fresh." Du Cheng Bo looked at his face and smiled at Li Changkong.

Li Changkong looked at the fruit that was really not very good, and he was afraid that he would put a fruit that would rot in two or three days, and he was a little speechless.

This guy came to the door with such melons and fruits, why didn't the porter throw them out for him?

"If you have something, talk about it, don't come to this set." Li Changkong is upright and upright.

Take this to test the cadres? What cadre can't stand such a test?

"Virtuous nephew, the last time about the prescription, it was Uncle Shi's fault."

"In this way, Uncle Shi will give 50,000 taels this time, how about you raise your noble hand and sell the recipe to Uncle Shi?"

When Li Changkong heard this, he immediately showed surprise on his face, and said in surprise: "Didn't Uncle Shi warn his little nephew before leaving a few days ago that when he was cornered, don't go to Uncle Shi?" ”

"What's the other way around today, isn't the sun coming out in the west?"

This is a bit hurtful, even with the face of Du Chengbo, he can't help but twitch, pretending not to hear.

"Virtuous nephew, Fangzi, tell me about Fangzi."

"Alas, Uncle Shi, it's not that the little nephew doesn't sell you. It's really this recipe, it has already been sold to Jishitang, even if the little nephew wants to give it to you, it won't help. ”

Who would have thought that when Du Chengbo heard this, instead of being annoyed, he said: "Things can still be done, it only depends on whether the nephew thinks about it or not." ”

When Li Changkong heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"The nephew went to find Naji Shitang, and said that he would not sell it, and he would just ask for the recipe back."

"And then sell it to you?" Li Changkong looked at Du Chengbo with the eyes of a fool.

"Naturally, I won't let my nephew toss in vain, so no matter how much silver Ji Shitang has, Uncle Shi will add an extra 10,000 taels of silver, how about it?"

Du Chengbo confidently threw out the killer plan.

In his opinion, it is just a matter of words, and no one can refuse the temptation of earning 10,000 taels for nothing.

However, Li Changkong's eyes still seemed to be looking at a fool, shook his head, and said, "Uncle Shi, please go back, little nephew, I can't do anything." ”

Just kidding, how can there be any reason to take back what has been sold?

If it is spread out, won't he Li Changkong become the treacherous person who everyone spurns?

Besides, the owner behind Jishitang is Zhang Xun!

If he really asks for it, Zhang Xun probably won't say anything, and there is a high probability that he will be able to ask for it.

But the relationship between him and his father is afraid that it will fade a lot.

For a mere 10,000 taels of silver, it is undoubtedly a very bad deal to give up the favor of the prince of the dynasty and his own reputation, even if he does not have a good reputation.

It is also a person like Du Chengbo, who is hungry for money, to choose 10,000 taels without hesitation.

When Du Chengbo heard this, he was stunned in place, his face full of disbelief.

That's a full 10,000 taels of silver!

The wealth that most people can't earn in their lifetime is just a mouthful, and this kid actually refused!

Is... It's a ridiculous joke.

Could it be that this kid is too little?

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Fifteen thousand taels!" ”

"How? As long as you can sell me the recipe, I'll have 15,000 taels more!" It's just a matter of moving his mouth, so he took 15,000 taels for nothing. Such a good thing is not often in the world. ”

Du Chengbo thought that his words were very tempting, but he didn't know that Li Changkong didn't even have the interest to continue listening to him, so he turned his head and left.

"Zhen Jian, send off!"

Zhen Jian took a broom and stood in front of Du Chengbo, trying to make an evil servant, trying to scare Du Chengbo away.

Who would have thought that Du Chengbo ignored him completely, and still shouted: "Twenty thousand taels!" Twenty thousand taels of line! This is already the limit of the capital! ”

Zhen Jian was also angry when he saw that he was being ignored.

He no longer cared about the other party's status as an earl, and waved a broom and beat it.

Suddenly, there was a sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping behind Li Changkong.

"You dare to hit me? How dare one of your servants beat me! ”

"The surname Li has many ways to do business, but whoever is rich is the uncle."

"You've got to beg me one day, let's see!"

The capital city boy walked out of the Wuling Marquis Mansion in disgrace and spat angrily.

Not only did Fang Zi not arrive, but he was also swept out of the house, when did he suffer such a loss.

Looking at the closed door in front of him, his expression couldn't help but show ruthlessness.

"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."

Then he walked away angrily.

In the Marquis Wuling Mansion, Li Changkong frowned slightly.

Listening to the last few words of the capital city, he was obviously unconvinced.

Eighty percent is soft, no, it's going to be hard.

The owner of Jishitang is the Dingguo Mansion, and they are naturally not afraid of it.

I'm afraid, I'm afraid, this grandson plays tricks and stumbles.

"Be on guard!"

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Changkong took Zhen Jian, took a basket of things, and went to Taipingfang again.

When Zhang Quan saw him, he immediately trotted over, with flattery between his eyebrows and eyes.

This is the owner of the money.

If it weren't for the recipe of the prince, it would be basically impossible for Jishitang to make the hanging pot house like this in the business war!

Li Changkong gave him a look, and the three of them arrived in the quiet room.

"What do you command?" Zhang Quan tried his best to make his smile look good and pleasing to others.

Li Changkong didn't speak, but gave a look.

Zhen Jian immediately understood and told what happened yesterday.

"Is the prince worried that the capital will stumble?"

"Well, you have to guard against it, take it out."

When Zhen Jian heard this, he moved the basket out and poured out one seal after another from it.

It is engraved with the three characters of Jishitang.

"What does that mean?" Zhang Quan was a little surprised.

Li Changkong raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Nature is a means to prevent the slightest." ”
