Chapter 157: Spending a lot of money to instigate the three brothers
"My lord, do you want to leave?"
Cui Shiyuan looked at him with a smile on his face, and with that obscene expression, he knew at a glance that there must be some bad idea in his stomach.
"Uh...... What can this little hero teach his subordinates?"
Since Gu Xiucai met soldiers, it is unreasonable, and it is not clear to say, let alone meet a "scoundrel level" like Cui Shiyuan!
"Hehe, don't dare to teach. It's just my lord, I don't know if you know the old saying that it is natural to pay back debts?"
Zhuang Zhoucheng, who was stunned on the spot by his question, didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say tentatively: "I don't know where Shaoxia started with this?"
"Haha, it seems that he is really a high-ranking person and forgetful! ”
After Cui Shiyuan finished speaking, he dragged Zhuang Zhoucheng to the room where the soldiers had made a mess just now, pointed to the broken porcelain, tables and chairs on the ground and said, "These objects are all ancient things that Old Man Li has accumulated over the years, and now they have been destroyed by your subordinates, should you pay this account?"
"This ......"
Seeing that he was hesitant, Cui Shiyuan immediately raised his voice and shouted at Monk Huikong: "Master, do you say that this is the case?"
Monk Huikong saw that this kid was bad, and he didn't want to help, but for a foolish official like Zhuang Zhoucheng, he must have embezzled the people on weekdays, and it was good to punish him with this method, and he thought of this, so he said: "Master Cui Shi is reasonable, as a parent official, the prefect, he cares about the people, and he will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the loss." ”
This time it's good, the two of them sang and sang and brought Zhuang Zhoucheng to a high place. If you don't give compensation, there are monks here in front of everyone's eyes, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to understand this matter. In the end, he had to grit his teeth secretly and said: "Then you say how much you should repay, and the official will do it." ”
Seeing that his face is obviously wrong, Cui Shiyuan wants you to have some dirty money and dare to play a temper with my master, then I will casually say a number to make you feel uncomfortable.
"Five hundred taels of gold!"
"What? five hundred taels?!"
Zhuang Zhoucheng calculated on his fingers, this time he helped Zhang Caishen send troops to arrest people and received a total of 400 taels of gold from him, and now this kid will ask for 500 taels when he opens his mouth, and he has to post 100 taels upside down, which is really a loss to his grandmother's house. No, this lion's condition of opening his mouth must not be agreed.
"Forgive me, little hero, this official has always had a clean breeze on his sleeves, and he really can't take out these silver taels ......"
This is a clear debt!
Cui Shiyuan took advantage of this gap to make a move, since it was Zhang Caishen's bad seed who came with him, it must have made a lot of benefits, why don't I blow him up, maybe I can give in as soon as I get nervous.
"My lord, you and I are both understanding people, this God of Wealth has such a close relationship with you, don't think that others don't know about the little things hidden behind it. In order to save your face, I won't say it here, otherwise the master will listen to it and have to run to the Emperor Chang'an to sue you. ”
Cui Shiyuan whispered in Zhuang's ear and patted him on the shoulder, which meant "Brother, you can do it yourself!"
Zhuang Zhoucheng, who was poked in the sore spot at once, dared to be stingy with that little thing outside his body, thinking that he had made a lot of money behind his back for this official position. Now, if he is stabbed to the emperor because of this incident, won't all the efforts in this life be wasted? Maybe there will be another prison sentence.
In order to avoid this kind of tragedy, he hurriedly called his henchmen: "Where is Li Bao?"
"I don't know what the adults command!"
Before the words fell, a person walked out of the official team, eight feet long, with a voice like a bell, looking at this brocade dress with a sword, at a glance, he was a person who was deeply valued on weekdays.
"Go back quickly and inform the master, and later prepare five hundred taels of gold to personally send the little hero to the mansion as the mansion to compensate him for his losses. ”
"Yes!"
Once he received the order, Li Bao's feet flew like a fly, and he went out of the Li Mansion like a wind, and went straight to the prefect's yamen.
Cui Shiyuan won this "rip-off", not to mention how happy he was, if it weren't for the large number of people present, I was afraid that he would have to turn around three times on the spot and play two backflips before he stopped.
Now, this farce is finally over. Zhuang Zhoucheng took the people and horses, and returned to the yamen dejectedly, and greeted the eight generations of the ancestors of Zhang Caishen, the rabbit cub, along the way.
Cui Shiyuan and Huikong rushed to the back hall to see how Li Gongzi was doing, and when they pushed the door, they saw him lying on the bed with his eyes closed, with a towel on his forehead, and his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was very weak.
"Butler, what's wrong with Master Li?" After all, Monk Huikong is a bodhisattva, and when he sees him now, he is like two people when he first met, and he really can't bear it.
"Alas, master, you are here. The old slave begs you to find a way to save my son-in-law! He has been disturbed by Zhang Caishen's gang for several days, and after some frightening just now, he finally became angry and bloody, and now he has more air in and less air, and he is afraid that he will ......."
Speaking of sadness, the old butler choked up. Thinking that he had served in the Li family for decades, now that the old man had not recovered, and the young master was in danger, he could only stare at his age and could not do anything, and it was inevitable that sadness would come from it.
"Don't be sad, wait for the poor monk to take a look at Li Gongzi. ”
While speaking, the great monk Huikong came to the bed, sat cross-legged, slowly helped Li Gongzi, and instilled his own internal strength to heal his wounds. In less than a moment, white smoke had risen above Li Xiang's head, and fine beads of sweat were rolling down his sideburns, and when he moaned softly in his mouth, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Oh, Childe is awake! Great! Master, you are really a god!"
Monk Huikong gradually collected his strength, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with his sleeve, turned around and told the housekeeper to take a bowl of sugar water, and personally served it for Li Xiang, and then turned over and landed, clasped his palms together and said: "Amitabha, Li Gongzi is now fine." ”
"Master Dag, I Li Fu will repay each other, and after this turmoil, I will definitely burn incense and pray for you to bless the golden body. ”
As the saying goes, a few families are happy, and a few are sad.
Zhang Cai, who fled home, was so angry that he smashed it, and no teacups, bowls, or antique jade could escape from his palm. The frightened maids and servants all took the initiative to stand in a row, waiting at the door and shivering.
It just so happened that the three owls of Ghost Mountain collected the corpse for Miao Wang, and came to find Zhang Caishen to say goodbye, and just stepped into the threshold, a jade Pixiu split the face. Fortunately, Qiu Tonghai's eyes were quickly picked up in his hand, otherwise he would have to break the phase.
"Why is Brother Zhang so angry? Don't be angry. ”
