Chapter 011: Pit Man
The iron cage was covered with red cloth again, and there was still a little blood left on the stage, and the song and dance began.
The old bustard introduced Xiang Qian into the side hall: "Thank you Third Prince, I don't know this money?" Naturally, I didn't dare to urge the third prince, but the Great Elder of Huayingzong was really seriously injured and urgently needed money to save his life. ”
Xiang Qian's fingers tapped on the table: "500,000 taels is not a small amount." ”
"Yes, yes."
"You'll have to give me time to raise it."
"Yes, yes."
"There's not much time left in a month."
"yes, ah, no." The old bustard's eyes were full of suspicion, but he didn't dare to raise his head: "Third Prince, I'm afraid that the Great Elder of Huayingzong won't be able to support it for a month." ”
"I know, so I've thought of it." Xiang Qian said with confidence: "The Great Elder of Huayingzong is a hero of the human race, and you Lichun Courtyard can't watch him die, so you can pay the medical expenses of this Great Elder Huayingzong in advance, and then deduct the medical expenses after I settle the bill, and you can also earn some interest." ”
The old bustard's face was like earth, and he knelt directly on the ground: "Third son." ”
Xiang Qian waved his hand and interrupted: "Don't worry, my Shenwei Mansion will still send you this little money?" Bring a pen and paper, I'll write down the IOU, and when the time comes, you will come to the door with the IOU to ask for a debt. ”
"Asking for a debt?"
"Yes."
The old bustard cried, she regretted it very much, why didn't she go directly to Xiang Qian in the hall to ask for money, but came to the side hall according to her previous habits.
Now that the earth is not spiritual, dare to regret and refuse this deal, I am afraid that the whole Lichun Courtyard will be poisoned by the third son.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
Xiang Qian ignored him, beckoned the little guy to bring a pen and paper, wrote and drew for a while, and pressed his handprints in a regular manner.
Hand the IOU to the bustard: "When the time comes, come to the door to collect the money." ”
The old bustard took the IOU without love, and when he saw it, he had to ask boldly: "Third son, this needs to come to the door after a month, and you need to pay 50,000 taels of liquidated damages every day in advance, what does it mean?" ”
"It's literal, we didn't say that we would pay after a month, we have to be honest, you come to the door in advance, violate the agreement, and naturally have to be punished. Fifty thousand taels a day is not much, is it possible that you plan to default now? ”
The old bustard's cheeks twitched, and he pointed to the back one: "What about this sentence?" Both parties to the agreement must keep it confidential and must not tell the third party to learn about it, otherwise the whole family will be poisoned. ”
"I don't understand that either?"
"But the third son, everyone in the hall has seen this, and it needs to be kept secret?"
"Yes. My dad doesn't know yet. ”
The old bustard understood, these three sons probably didn't dare to tell Grandpa Guo about this at all, and they were counting on dragging it out for a day.
He was even sure that he didn't dare to come to the door to ask for debts. If it was a small amount, she naturally didn't dare to come to the door to ask for debts, but this was 500,000 taels, how could she not want it.
With this IOU, he is also famous. Even if Grandpa Guo beats this bastard to death, he will pay for it.
This is believed by the whole city of Linhai.
The old bustard weakly put the IOU into his arms, and squeezed out a professional smile: "The third prince wants to stay in Lichun Courtyard tonight?" ”
"Mom invited me so kindly, then I won't refuse. I said, well, after such a big business, how could my mother not entertain you. ”
“.......”
The old bustard nodded helplessly, got up and ordered the little maid to say a few words, and not long after, the little maid came in mysteriously holding a tray.
Xiang Qian looked and saw three thumb-sized bamboo tubes on the tray, with red paper seals pasted on the mouth of the tubes.
After reading it for a long time, I couldn't understand the essentials, so I had to ask, "What is this?" ”
The old bustard coughed lightly: "This thing is called I Love a Firewood, and it is a sacred object from Kyoto." The girl of the Heavenly Clan has a strong temperament, and only this thing can be conquered. ”
Xiang Qian's eyes lit up, his sleeves swept over the tray carelessly, and said, "Hmph, I will need this?" Who do you look down on? I'm a little tired, so I'm going to rest first. ”
Looking at the empty tray, the old bustard stood up respectfully: "Congratulations to the third son." ”
The room fell silent, and the old bustard took out the IOU, and after reading it repeatedly, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Alas, I tried my best to invite Duan Dagongzi, and I only earned 450,000 taels, and it will take a month to get the money, so I knew that it was better to transport this Heavenly Clan girl to Kyoto. No, you have to calculate some interest. ”
After speaking, she called the little servant: "Go and tell the people of Hua Yingzong that this girl of the Heavenly Clan was forcibly asked to go by the third prince of the Shenwei Mansion, and I can't do anything about the rest of the money, but although I am a woman in the dust, I also respect the heroes of the Terran Clan, and I don't have to pay back the 20,000 taels I paid before." ”
"Yes." The little guy bent down to receive the order, but couldn't help but say: "I'm afraid that the third prince bought the Heavenly Clan girl at a price of 500,000 taels will spread tomorrow, and the people of Huayingzong will also hear the rumors." ”
"What about that? Did the third son give money? If they have a kind, let them go to the third prince to ask for it, but what happened, it has nothing to do with me, a small sect in a remote place, 20,000 taels is already money that they can't see in their lives. ”
"Yes."
Early the next morning, Xiang Qian hurriedly returned to Dulong Mountain with the two chefs and the girl of the Heavenly Clan.
He was very sure that his father would not know so quickly that he spent 500,000 taels to buy a girl from the Celestial Clan, but he always had to take precautions for everything.
Who knows if you'll encounter some bastard stuff and sue yourself for your misery.
Fortunately, the journey was safe and sound, and everything was normal when I returned to Tiangong.
After letting the two dying cooks go to rest, Xiang Qian couldn't wait to come to the place where the Celestial Clan girl was imprisoned.
It's not that he's in a hurry to try what I love a piece of firewood, for him who is still in the sage mode, no matter how beautiful the opposite sex is, it's a floating cloud.
The Celestial Girl was still in the iron cage, and several apprentices were curiously watching around the iron cage.
Seeing Xiang Qian coming in, Sun Ergou couldn't help but ask, "This is the Heavenly Clan?" ”
"Yes. You all go out. There is something to do for the teacher. ”
"Yes." Several people reluctantly withdrew from the main hall.
From time to time, he swept Xiang Qian and the girl of the Heavenly Clan with a suspicious gaze.
That gaze, seeing Xiang Qianji, couldn't help but kick the door of the main hall slammed shut.
The girl of the Celestial Clan, who was devastated by the Five Plagues Silence Array, was awakened by the loud noise, and when she saw his appearance, she immediately cheered up and stared at him viciously.
The white wings behind him trembled slightly, as if they were ready to soar into the sky at any moment.
Of course, not to mention that there is an iron cage, even if the other party is released now, Xiang Qian is not afraid.
The Celestials sold will have some of their wings cut off, and they can't fly at all.
Besides, this is in the Heavenly Palace Hall, and without his consent, the Celestial Clan Patriarch can't get out.
"What's your name?"
The Celestial Maiden did not answer.
Xiang Qian thought about it, and put a piece of firewood on one side of the iron cage, while he stood on the other side.
"Choose one of me and my love of firewood."
After hearing the name of my love for a piece of wood, the resentful face of the Celestial Girl finally appeared in a panic, as a foreign race, she had heard of this kind of terrifying weapon invented by the Human Race to deal with the alien girl.
The gaze subconsciously moved away from my love for a piece of firewood.
"Hey, you know this? That's right, I'm too lazy to bother to explain, so let's choose. ”
