Chapter 44: A Favor
When Ye Mu and Wu Ming came out, a large group of people were surrounding the entrance of Cuiyan Pavilion, and the long-faced man and the carriage were like being embedded in the middle of the crowd, steady and grounded, and they couldn't move. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing Ye Mu come out, these surrounding people suddenly became excited, I don't know who took the lead and shouted "Ye Gongzi", and they all shouted out immediately, and for a while, the whole scene was like boiling water, boiling.
I don't know where the news came from just now, saying that Ye Mu had won the competition, and those who spent a lot of money to sell the child period to win suddenly turned black, and scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Fang Zi period in their hearts, and then they were embarrassed to be here, and walked away. The rest of the people are people who have not bet, they heard the news and immediately had a sense of reverence for this mysterious lecturer, they were very appreciative of Ye Mu's saintly virtue before, and now they are full of admiration for Ye Mu's talent, and they really want to see this legendary scholar, after seeing Ye Mu, they shouted out unconsciously under the excitement, otherwise it is not enough to express their feelings at all.
Facing the excited crowd, Ye Mu smiled.
They are the backbone of this world and the most industrious people who support the entire civilization. As a person who wants to turn the whole world into a happy land, Ye Mu suddenly feels his responsibility to them.
Immediately bowed deeply to the crowd.
In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, and immediately became extremely quiet again.
Everyone looked at Ye Mu in surprise, they didn't understand why Ye Gongzi bowed to them and made such a big salute, and they didn't know what to do for a while. Just watched Ye Mu come to him, gave way, continued to look at Ye Mu, and walked towards the carriage.
The long-faced man was stunned by this scene, and he didn't react in shock for a long time, so that Ye Mu had already passed through the crowd to the front, only to wake up in shock, get off the horse and ask Ye Mu to get in the car.
"Don't worry, let's go and collect the accounts first. Ye Mu glanced at the long-faced man, said lightly, and then reprimanded the crowd like a magnet and walked towards the gambling game opposite.
At this time, the long-faced man remembered that he had placed ten taels of gold for Ye Mu just now, and his face was immediately happy, and he hurriedly took out the slip from his arms and followed.
At the gambling place, the little old man touched the beard on his chin with a sad face, thinking about how to solve the matter of the ten taels of gold.
When Du Fuwei came out, he came to ask him about the gambling game, and he told him about receiving ten taels of gold from a person, and by the way, he said his plan: at that time, he pretended to be very excited to see ten taels of gold, so that those who had the idea of betting thought that he was eager to find the wronged head to fill the hole of one hundred to one, thinking that the gambling game was no longer in suspense, so as to induce them to bet quickly, so that they could get more money, and then talk to the person who pressed ten taels of gold to avoid compensation.
As a result, when Du Fuwei heard it, he immediately scolded him:
Think about it with your brain, how easy is it for someone who can take out a few taels of gold at will?
When he left, he also told him that he must find a way to solve this matter.
Then the old man thought about it, this is the case, the person who came with the ten taels of gold must not be an ordinary person, and he must deal with it properly.
After carefully calculating the accounts, a total of more than 90,000 taels of silver were collected, and if the ten taels of gold were repaid, the compensation would be as high as 100,000 taels of silver. He couldn't think about it, if he knew that he had to lose money if he had worked in vain, Du Fuwei would have to tear him apart.
Suddenly his face was bitter, and he looked at a way.
He first thought of running, but when he thought that the other party was not an ordinary person, he probably could run as a monk, and he couldn't run to the temple.
I thought of turning my face and denying it again, and instantly shook my head in denial.
......
It's really sad, I've been worried about a beard for almost a lifetime, and now it's almost over.
When he was at a loss, he saw three people coming to his side, and one of them was not the person who placed a bet here? Knowing that the other party had come to collect the account, his expression suddenly darkened, and his face turned black into carbon.
When he arrived at the stall, the long-faced man quickly stepped forward and handed over the voucher in his hand, saying:
"Boss, please settle the principal and interest of this gamble. ”
The old man took the slip tremblingly, glanced at Ye Mu, who was standing calmly there, and the people who gradually gathered around to watch, he now knew who his creditor was, it was Ye Gongzi who even intersected with the chief manager, and suddenly felt a kind of powerlessness, feeling that only by begging the other party to let him go could he live.
Immediately begged Ye Mu with a bitter face:
"Ye Gongzi, please raise your noble hand, for the sake of our acquaintance with Mr. Du, let the old man go!"
At this time, the people in the crowd behind understood that this gamble was opened by the Jianghuai Army, and they sighed for a while.
"Go back first, and tell you the chief that he owes me a favor. Looking at the old man's face, which was a little more bitter than Coptis chinensis, Ye Mu said lightly.
He didn't come for the money in the first place, he just wanted Du Fuwei to owe him a favor, so that he could do something for himself. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no intention to embarrass an old man, and he is about to turn around and leave.
Seeing that Ye Mu didn't ask him to take the money, the old man knew that he had barely escaped, so he quickly took out the ingot of gold and handed it over to Ye Mu just as he was about to turn around.
Ye Mu glanced at the old man, took the gold in his hand with a wave of his hand, and quickly disappeared into the crowd with the carriage.
Dong Mansion, Old Man Dong was going around in the garden, and suddenly several other old men of the same generation came, patted their foreheads and remembered, they agreed yesterday to meet Ye Mu at his place together. As a result, in the morning, I was worried about their competition, and I forgot about it for a while.
He estimated that the competition between the two literati would take at least half a day! After Fan Zhong brought the people back, they could just meet and have dinner together.
I didn't expect these people to come so early. Hurry up and greet you.
"Brother Dong, good news!"
When they met, Old Man Dong said with a happy smile.
In an instant, the whole person was stunned, and he looked at a few people with a puzzled face, waiting for a few people to say what the good news was.
Unexpectedly, a few people smiled mysteriously, and they didn't open their mouths anymore, but began to greet him, which made him itch in his heart, and he was not happy. With an angry face, he waited for the old men, who were obviously deliberately going to hang him, and were about to ask. Then they spoke:
"Brother Dong, Ye Mu won the competition. ”
Immediately, Old Man Dong was stunned, and then the worries on his face all morning, and the whole person was full of spring breeze.
"Good, good, good"
said three good words in a row, stroked his palms and smiled.
Then they laughed together.
"That scoundrel, it's time to be vigilant!"
In the midst of joy, Old Man Dong suddenly said in a slightly deep voice.
Hearing this, several people put away their smiles and looked at him with some sympathy, not knowing what to say.
Just then, the sound of a carriage was heard outside.
