Chapter 202: Money Eliminates Disasters
As mentioned earlier, the scene of the old and the young abandoning tea and not drinking, of course, Ma Xingzhou is not the only one who saw it, but these people who saw it refused to admit it at this time!
Some of them deliberately want to be embarrassed, and some are worried that others will ask them why they don't say a warning since they saw it, so they either don't say anything, or simply say that they didn't see it, which is really unscrupulous!
Fortunately, there is another one here who is a little calmer and smarter.
Xu Xianke rolled his eyes and said, "Please don't be impatient!"
He walked briskly to the door of the teahouse, leaned down with both hands, picked up a bowl of tea each, and then returned to the crowd and said, "Can you see? The tea bowl is full, and the old and the young really haven't drunk a sip! What the master of the horse helm said is true!"
Oh! Ma Xingzhou was almost moved to tears, and the stuffiness in his chest suddenly brightened, and the feeling of "getting snow from injustice" was refreshing!
He patted Xu Xianke on the shoulder, his eyes were full of emotion, and when he turned around, he was ready to give a high-pitched speech with raised eyebrows, scolding these guys who bit Lu Dongbin, didn't know the hearts of good people, and repaid virtue with grievances!
But unexpectedly, one of the guys said again: "Master Ma Helm, this other person has not drunk tea, you think that this tea is poisonous, is it too arbitrary?
"yes, maybe people are in a hurry?"
"Maybe it's because you can't get used to the taste?"
......
So a new round of verbal warfare began.
The helmsman, who has always been poor in eloquence, suddenly didn't know how to explain, and even felt that he was reckless!
Now that I think about it, if people abandon tea and don't drink it, does that mean that there is a problem with this tea? Obviously, there is no necessary connection between the two.
But how could he still think about these things at that time? At that moment, his instinctive reaction was that since there was something suspicious, he would rather believe it, and it would be perfect not to let everyone drink it, and he didn't want to fall into the mouth of others now!
It was Huang Sheng who came out to help him break the siege: "Everyone, listen to Huang's words, no matter what, the helmsman is out of good intentions, and even if there is arbitrariness, he is forced to think that the situation is critical, and the so-called extenuating circumstances, since everyone is okay now, let this matter pass!"
"No!" shouted a man with wet pants, "Lao Tzu has never been so ugly in public, today you Ma Xingzhou said nonsense, and Lao Tzu will make his fart and urine, this matter can't be left like this!"
No one else mentioned your, but you jumped out and called by yourself, are you afraid that others won't remember?
In addition to snickering secretly, others also followed him to coax.
Suddenly, I don't know who came to say: "We can't let the people of the Yangtze River faction vomit again, the Yangtze River faction should show some sincerity to mean it, so that we can swallow this breath!"
This view was supported by many people.
In the end, they asked the Yangtze River to send them ** and compensation for mental damage!
Speaking of which, after all, it is necessary to settle it with silver.
Ma Xingzhou scolded in his heart: Damn, unless you are really poisoned today, it is not Lao Tzu to say anything, Lao Tzu cursed you all to be poisoned one by one!
But the matter has come to this, and he doesn't want to dwell on it anymore, after all, there are other important things, so he thinks he is unlucky at this time, and it is better to use the money to eliminate the disaster.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what happened just now, even if my old horse looked away, how offended, since everyone is asking for compensation, it is simple, and there is no need to bother to go to the Yangtze River faction to ask for this money, I even have a total of more than 3,000 taels of silver tickets and silver ingots, and there is no more, you can take it and share it!"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and put some silver ingots on the table.
The gang immediately fell silent, save for a few whispers.
"Oh!
"It's so rich!"
"Yes, it is worthy of the Yangtze River faction, and you can carry a few thousand taels with you!"
......
Their eyes lit up, but how did they know that those silver tickets were the fixed money given by the He family for consignment of wood, and the helmsman was embezzling public funds, so didn't he have to pay out of his own pocket to make up for it when he went back?
It was only quiet for a while, and the first voice that said Ma Xingzhou was arbitrary just now said twice: "This ...... After all, the helmsman is also well-intentioned, and now he has such sincerity, I see, that's it, this matter is over, and no one is allowed to mention it again!"
"Uh-huh, good, good!"
"It makes sense, it makes sense!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Agreed, agreed!"
......
As they spoke, these people gathered around the table where the silver was placed, and the speed became faster and faster, until in the end they almost rushed, squeezing out Ma Xingzhou and Huang Sheng and the others!
Xu Xianke didn't know how hard it took to not be squeezed out like Ma Xingzhou and Huang Sheng, but at this time, he was also buried in the pile of people and couldn't be seen.
But I heard his shout from the crowd: "Don't worry, everyone has vomited, count the number of people first, and then divide it equally!"
Think about it, although he Xu Xianke spit out the tea without swallowing it, but it can be regarded as vomiting, so if you say it, it means that he also has a share?
Ma Xingzhou shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking that his current livelihood must be quite difficult!
However, some people in the crowd immediately expressed different opinions, not because of the view that "everything that has been vomited", but because they were not convinced by the "equal division".
"Divide it evenly? You just drank it in your mouth and squirted it out, and you were embarrassed to share it with the vomit that came out of our stomach?"
"That's right! Since the helmsman of the horse is to compensate us for the injuries we have suffered, it is natural that we should be divided according to the severity of the injuries!"
"That's it! Lao Tzu was all just now!" this benevolent brother once again lost no time in reminding everyone of the scene he had just made!
"I vomited blood just now, right? You've all seen it, right?"
"Nope!"
"You ......"
"Uh...... Yes...... No, I feel so much pain in my chest, I'm afraid I'm vomiting internal injuries...... Cough...... I coughed up blood!"
"you! Don't come to this set, others don't know, I don't know? I've known you for decades, and my teeth bleed at every turn!"
"You ......"
"Smack!" someone slapped the table hard!
"Shut up the fuck Lao Tzu! Do you still have a share of the silver? If you don't divide it, you can just give it back to the helmsman!"
When Ma Xingzhou heard this, he clapped his hands and grinned: "You are benevolent and righteous!
As he spoke, he squeezed into the crowd, as if he was going to get the money back, but was immediately stopped by countless hands!
"Alas, alas, alas, the helmsman is slow, and slow! We have decided, divide, divide!"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's evenly divided!"
"Okay, okay, hurry up and count people, don't bother anymore!"
