Chapter 107: Rich and Capricious (Second Update)
Perhaps for an ordinary person, climbing over the wall requires both hands and feet, but for those who practice martial arts, they often only need a good pair of legs.
Therefore, although the accomplice of the sword-wielder injured his arm, his legs and feet were very sharp, and after blocking the three sword qi, he jumped up and landed on the wall.
He glanced back, his gaze collided with the sword in the air, but the sword had already put away the sword at this time, and had no intention of striking again.
Jian Lai never does useless work, and even if he swings three more sword qi at the moment, he can't stop the three of them from escaping, in that case, why waste any more energy?
Seeing that the three men had jumped off the wall, the sword pulled his gaze back, turned back to the room, where the doors and windows were broken, and there was no more movement.
Baitang and the others have been watching all this as bystanders, and now that Jian Lai has returned to the house, all the turmoil tonight seems to be over.
The black-clothed men who came to attack Zhao Heng finally ran away, but Baitang didn't leave them behind, but unfortunately the manpower was limited, and they couldn't be perfect after all.
What is surprising is that until now Zhao Heng is still asleep, everything that happened this night seems to have nothing to do with him, it is really amazing that a person can be so heartless.
There was no turmoil this night, but many people couldn't sleep well, and it wasn't until it was nearly early in the morning that Baitang finally fell asleep.
This dream didn't last long, and Bai Tang, who was sleeping, suddenly heard an exclamation, and there was excitement in this exclamation.
"Wow! What happened? Why did I sleep all night and the yard was so messy? How did these people die? Could it be that I was killed by sleepwalking at night?"
It was Zhao Heng's voice, Bai Tang opened his eyes, and his expression was very unhappy.
It's because this kid didn't sleep well all night, and he finally fell asleep, but he woke up this kid again, does he owe this kid money?
Not to mention whether he owes or doesn't owe, Bai Tang really received a lot of money from Zhao Heng......
Bai Tang was suddenly embarrassed to get angry again, this is the gold master, and he has to offer!
Li Shang was standing beside Zhao Heng at this time, and in the face of Zhao Heng's question, Li Shang was silent.
Soon after, there were many more officials in the courtyard, and they didn't say anything after they came, but simply cleaned up the courtyard.
Aside from the broken houses and grounds, there was no sign of a fight.
Li Shang is very principled, the broken house and the sword marks on the ground are all left by the sword, Li Shang naturally has no reason to help him deal with the aftermath. Therefore, when Bai Tang and his party came to the lobby of the inn, Jian Lai stood in front of the counter with a look of embarrassment.
There were a few pieces of loose silver and some copper plates on the counter, of which the copper plates were the majority, and the preliminary estimate of the silver was about ten taels.
The shopkeeper faced the sword, although his eyes were full of fear, but at this time he did not weaken his momentum.
"You don't have enough money, at most you can change the doors and windows, but the bricks on the ground in the backyard always have to be replaced, the labor cost and cost will not be less, and the furniture in your house is also ruined, even the bed board has collapsed, which requires money!"
Jian Lai hung his head slightly: "That's all I have." ”
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows: "I don't care, since you broke it, of course you have to pay for it, no matter what method you use, this money must be enough." ”
Jian Lai looked embarrassed: "I...... To grab it?"
The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he covered his chest with his hands at the moment, and subconsciously retreated, until he hit the shelf behind him, and then he trembled and said, "You...... Who are you going to rob?"
The sword looked at the shopkeeper with an innocent look in his eyes.
The shopkeeper's face turned white in an instant: "I...... I can tell you, sir...... The official errand has just been gone for a short time. ”
"And I'm ...... I don't have any money. The shopkeeper added.
Jian Lai looked more and more innocent at this time, and he only said one sentence: "Robbery, it's not good." ”
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, what else could he say, he could only nod again and again: "Yes, yes." ”
At this time, a slap suddenly slapped on the counter, startling the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was about to have a seizure, but suddenly found that this slap was not simple, and before the anger came to his face, he pressed back and replaced it with a smiling face.
"Guest officer, what do you command?" the shopkeeper looked at Bai Tang and smiled with a wrinkled face.
That slap was taken by Bai Tang, if it was just a simple slap, naturally it couldn't make the shopkeeper's attitude turn 180 degrees.
There is also a piece of paper under the palm, which is naturally not simple, it is a silver ticket that can be exchanged for cash at the bank.
The denomination of the silver ticket was pressed under Bai Tang's palm, and the specific value of the shopkeeper naturally couldn't see it, but he trusted Bai Tang, so he rushed to Bai Tang and Wan Lixiang last night when they grabbed the room, and the shopkeeper felt that Bai Tang would not treat him badly.
Bai Tang gestured towards the sword with his eyes: "I helped him compensate for the losses caused by this buddy, do you want this money?"
The shopkeeper nodded for a while: "Yes, of course." ”
Bai Tang looked at the shopkeeper with a slight brinkling in his eyes: "After receiving this money, you and him will be cleared." ”
The shopkeeper smiled: "That's nature. ”
Bai Tang immediately pushed the silver ticket to the shopkeeper: "This is yours." ”
The shopkeeper smiled happily, picked up the silver ticket without hesitation, and then looked at it, and his face couldn't help but become a little ugly: "Guest officer...... Are you kidding the little ones?"
I saw that the silver ticket had three big characters written on it, and it was also stamped with an official seal, which turned out to be an officially printed low-denomination official ticket.
The silver stamps of Dahua are divided into two kinds: official and unofficial, the official ones are called official stamps, which mainly serve the peasant class, so the denomination is not high, most of them are based on the text, and the circulation is not large, and the exchange procedure is also very cumbersome, so there are not many people who use it.
The unofficial ones are the silver bills jointly printed by the major money banks, the denominations are relatively large, and the exchange is relatively convenient, so most of the silver tickets in circulation on the market are also of this kind.
How could the shopkeeper have thought that Bai Tang would tease him, and his face would not look good at this time.
Bai Tang smiled "hehe": "I'm naturally joking with you." ”
As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom, took one out of them, and slapped it on the table again, and slapped it louder than before.
The shopkeeper picked up the silver ticket, and after taking a look at it, his face twitched: "Guest officer...... This is another hundred texts. ”
"Of course I do. Bai Tang said, "Papapapa" and slapped several slaps on the table one after another, and each time he slapped a silver ticket, each time with a lot of force.
The shopkeeper picked up the silver tickets one by one, each one was a hundred denominations, and the shopkeeper's face would be ugly if he didn't pick up one.
"Let's stop joking, shall we?" the shopkeeper suppressed his anger, but his tone was already a little unpolite.
Bai Tang rummaged through the silver tickets for a while, and after confirming that there were no more official tickets, he took one out of it and slapped it on the table again.
"Boom"!
After this slap, the entire counter collapsed.
