Chapter 68 Paying Debts

For a while, there was only Zhu Song's suppressed moaning in the inn, and there were no other sounds, everyone had their own thoughts, and their faces were different. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Mu still didn't put down the sword in his hand, and after saying the previous sentence, he didn't speak again, but kept raising his sword and looking at him coldly.

"Li Gongzi, what do you mean. ”

Under the protection of several guards, the shopkeeper Wu naturally didn't have to be afraid of Li Mu's seemingly indifferent threat, so he didn't weaken his tone, and still questioned in a very dissatisfied voice.

Li Mu didn't answer, but retreated to put away the sword, and then saw that the slight blood stains on the sword body had some signs of coagulation, so he quietly walked to the side and picked up a pot of wine and poured it on the sword, without caring too much, he directly wrapped it in the cuffs and wiped off the bloodstains, and suddenly those bloody smells were also covered by the fragrance of the wine.

"Shopkeeper Wu laughed, a few thieves splashed their skins, ruined our interest in drinking and chatting, so they imposed a slight punishment and disturbed the business of the shopkeeper restaurant, but I was a little unhappy. ”

Li Mu turned around and pressed the hilt of the sword into the sword box where the blade was inserted, and the sword box immediately operated automatically to put both swords into the box, which made him sigh.

Although the words Li Mu said just now had a bit of an apology, judging from his current performance, it was not sincere at all, so Shopkeeper Wu also invalidated those words and ignored the slightest.

"How can I say that my restaurant is also a place to open for business, Li Gongzi, if you make such a fuss, I'm afraid my small business will be a little difficult to do in the future. What's more, you have also hurt others now, and you want to give an explanation.

"Say?" Li Mu turned his head and asked with a smile, and turned his gaze to Zhu Song, who was still lying on the ground and moaning, "Didn't you just ask us to compensate you two thousand taels of gold?

Zhu Song squinted his eyes with a painful expression, and after hearing Li Mu's question, he reluctantly turned his head to look over, and found that Li Mu was still patting the sword box beside him, and he opened his eyes and hurriedly shook his head.

"No...... Don't ...... anymore."

Zhu Song stammered and hurriedly refused, joking, looking at what Li Mu meant, if he Zhu Song still dared to say a word asking for money, then the next step would not be as simple as scratching his chest, then the next target of the sword blade could only be his throat.

As soon as these words came out, the face of the shopkeeper Wu became a little darker, and he said in his heart, good guy, I am here to help you talk, but you have coaxed me first?

"In that case, you guys don't have any requirements, don't rely on my store anymore, I don't want to see you in any of my stores in the future!"

Anyway, looking at Zhu Song and a few people who were bored, the shopkeeper Wu directly asked the three of them to get out, Zhu Song was just injured, and it was very reluctant to leave at this time, originally he planned to be able to rely on it for a while, but at this time he was driven out like daring garbage, but Zhu Song and the others didn't dare to say anything, offended the shopkeeper Wu, they really don't have to mix in this place anymore.

"Go ....."

Although it was very embarrassing, if they didn't know how to carry it too much with the shopkeeper Wu, then they couldn't leave if they wanted to, so they could only endure their anger, their faces were so red with shame and indignation, and they limped out of the inn door by supporting each other under Yue Xiaofei's mocking gaze, and at the last moment, Zhu Song glanced back at Yue Xiaofei with resentment in his eyes, as if all the guilt and hatred had been pushed down on him.

At this time, Yue Xiaofei didn't have time to think about whether Zhu Song could really let go of himself, a wave of unsettled is now rising again and again, Li Mu seems to have a matter with this Wu shopkeeper who has not been resolved, so helpless Yue Xiaofei can only secretly hold his forehead and shake his head and sigh, and said in his heart Li Mu, how can this kid be more troublesome than me after he comes out.

"Li Gongzi, although those people didn't ask you to do any compensation, but today you also damaged a lot of things in the store, I want Gongzi you to compensate according to the price, and it's reasonable. ”

Although he was already extremely dissatisfied with Li Mu in his heart, the words of the shopkeeper Wu also left a little leeway, and his attitude was not as tough as he was with Zhu Song and the three of them before.

"Isn't it just a few broken tables and broken chairs?

Li Mu was not surprised by Wu's shopkeeper's request for compensation, as if he didn't care about such a little money at all, but then he called Lin Rusheng's name, making the latter look dazed and at a loss.

"Just look for him about compensation, he will give you all the money, don't worry, I Li Mu doesn't like guys who owe people money. ”

As soon as the words fell, Yue Xiaofei and Lin Rusheng darkened their faces at the same time, and Li Mu, who felt it again, was shameless.

Shopkeeper Wu cast a questioning glance at Lin Rusheng, and the latter could only smile bitterly and arch his hand, signaling that he would help Li Mu deal with the aftermath.

"Since Li Gongzi said so, it is naturally better, but the silver taels that Li Gongzi borrowed in the gambling house a few days ago plus the accounts of the hotel these days, can this gentleman settle them together?"

After Shopkeeper Wu got Lin Rusheng's admission, he looked very relaxed, and turned to laugh lightly.

"I don't know... How many taels of silver are in these accounts...."

Lin Rusheng swallowed his saliva and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xin said that fortunately, it was only a matter of money, and the two had no other conflicts, and it was easy to handle, at least they would not face each other like just now.

"The gross account that I vaguely remember is about six thousand taels or more, and the specific accounts should be checked by the people below, but I think this son only needs to give six thousand five hundred taels of memory, but the son can rest assured, this account is only a little less for you. ”

Shopkeeper Wu smiled and spoke, but Lin Rusheng froze.

Six thousand five hundred and twenty ......

For the first time, the idea of teaching Li Mu a good lesson arose in his heart, but after a few days, this guy owed six thousand five hundred taels of accounts, which was described as Yue Xiaofei sometimes said - this TM is also a talent.

What bothered him the most was that now his body was full of more than 1,000 taels, which was originally enough if it was just the expenses of the person on the way to the imperial city for the national examination, but now it can only make up for one-sixth of the arrears.

And now that Li Mu has spoken his words, he also took the initiative to ask how much the shopkeeper Wu wanted, and now he regrets not helping Li Mu, it is always a little unreasonable, so he can only turn his gaze to Yue Xiaofei.

"Xiao Fei... ”

The two made eye contact.

"What. ”

"Take the money!"

"No money!"

"Didn't Mrs. Li give you a few thousand taels?"

"Don't use it yourself, master, don't you think you have been cheated enough by this kid?"

"Isn't this forced to the face? Can't you just waste money once?"

"If you don't want money, you have to die! Don't talk about money when you go out! Talking about money hurts feelings!"

God knows when these two people had such a tacit understanding, the people present looked at the two of them and winked at each other, and they didn't know what they were going to do, anyway, in the end, Yue Xiaofei said something, Lin Rusheng immediately sighed, and looked at Li Mu helplessly, with some helplessness in his eyes.

This time, Shopkeeper Wu is not in a hurry, anyway, since he has already put things on the table today, it is equivalent to an ultimatum.

"Li Gongzi, I am also doing some small business, if I can't settle the bill for a long time, then it seems that I can only send someone to send the account book to Lord Li's mansion, and let him pay for Li Gongzi once. ”

Shopkeeper Wu was not idle, he added a dose of fierce material to Li Mu, after finishing speaking, Li Mu's face became very ugly, no matter what involved Li Zhi, Li Mu would always be very dissatisfied, not afraid, but a kind of displeasure from the heart.

So when the shopkeeper Wu threatened to inform Li Zhi, the atmosphere became very embarrassing.

"It turns out that he is still the lord of this mansion city, no wonder he has a bit of temperament. ”

The scholar who was still drinking on the side also understood Li Mu's identity at this time, and his interest in these people became a little more intense.

"Mr. Lin.... Xiaocui still has some entanglements from Mrs. and Miss before she came out... Plus some furniture... Let's help Li Gongzi pay off his debts together... It's always bad to owe someone outside. ”

Lin Rusheng was upset, and at this time, Xiao Cui, who had no sense of existence behind him, carefully pulled his clothes, said the above words, and quietly stuffed one of his purses into Lin Rusheng's hand.

"This ....."

Lin Rusheng naturally didn't dare to accept it, but Xiao Cui put a little more effort on his hand, and he had to stuff things into him. Because Xiao Cui thought in her heart that most of this matter was her responsibility, if it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many things that would happen later, so she thought of a way to make up for it.

Yue Xiaofei naturally also noticed Lin Rusheng's movements, and immediately guessed Xiao Cui's thoughts, and his face was a little unbearable, coupled with a look that Lin Rusheng inadvertently looked at him, he sensed full of contempt.

"Damn, I'm out of luck!"

He cursed in his heart, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and threw them on the table in front of him, turning his back not to show his face that was very painful because of the blood dripping from his heart.

"Five thousand taels!

This time Li Mu was very surprised, he didn't expect Yue Xiaofei to help him, naturally he didn't know that the reason behind this was the stimulating effect of Xiaocui's actions.

Lin Rusheng breathed a sigh of relief, stuffed the purse back into Xiaocui's hand, smiled and signaled her to rest assured, took out the remaining 1,500 taels, and handed it to Shopkeeper Wu after making up the amount.

"A total of six thousand five hundred taels, the shopkeeper has put it away, please count it." ”

"Well, I can still trust Li Gongzi's friend. ”

Shopkeeper Wu did not take the silver ticket, but was replaced by an attendant behind him, after all, his purpose was not to be on these thousands of taels of silver tickets.

"Now that the accounts have been cleared..... shopkeeper Wu clapped his hands as he spoke, and several people who looked like Xiao Er came over with the bags of Yue Xiaofei and others.

"I won't keep a few, if these things happen to the inn, it's better to lock them up for a few days to avoid the limelight, please understand. ”

Shopkeeper Wu didn't smile at the meat, and directly issued an eviction order.

"Heh...."

At this time, Yue Xiaofei was the first to walk out of the inn with his bags, without the slightest dissatisfaction, but seemed very calm, and the second one followed by Li Mu, who didn't even take anything more, just left empty-handed.

At this point, Lin Rusheng had no choice, so he had to take Xiao Cui and leave with a salute.

Since he had gone away, the shopkeeper Wu sat at the scholar's table, and the scholar quietly prepared another wine glass and filled it with wine.

"These few people don't have conflicts with them, and they have less things to do, so they can do business. ”

Shopkeeper Wu seemed to know the scholar, and spoke directly without any hindrance.

"Didn't you notice the man's sword case from before?"

"Sword box?"

"I came to Dongzhou this time just for these two swords, but I was lucky to meet them so soon. ”

The scholar's tone was full of smiles.

Shopkeeper Wu frowned, drank the wine in the cup, got up and walked to the inn, and said as he walked.

"I will send people to keep an eye on those people, I don't care what they have, no matter what they have to do with anything, don't do anything on my territory, it will affect my livelihood!"

"Clear!"

The scholar drank the last glass of wine, got up and threw a piece of broken silver, and walked out of the inn.
