183. Covet the sword

The woman laughed and said, "The slave family is really embarrassed. You can do the math for this son. As he spoke, he took down the abacus hanging on the wall and handed it to the shopkeeper. The guy glanced at Li Zhihua and smiled: "Son, don't shine the silver first, count it." Li Zhihua thought that a pot of wine for these six dishes was worth a lot of two taels of silver, so he also said coolly: "You don't have to count it, the remaining few dollars can be counted as adding a bowl of wine to the second brother." So saying, he put the ten taels of silver on the table and stood up.

The guy smiled: "Childe is generous, thank you." The three of them ate a total of six dishes, four meat and two vegetarian dishes, and the wine, rice, and tea were not counted, and only one dish was charged. Then he shook the abacus twice, crackled, and said with a smile: "Childe will take out another two hundred and ninety taels of silver." ”

The three of them were stunned when they heard this, and Xiaohong said, "Hey." Are you mistaken?" The guy laughed, "I'm ashamed." The small abacus has been playing for nearly 30 years, although it is still very raw, but each dish is fifty taels of silver, and the oral calculation can also be said in one mouthful, not to mention that it is carefully calculated several times? ”

The three of them entered the black shop, presumably they specialized in eating visitors from afar. Zhu Shuzhen said: "This is not a delicacy, at most one or two taels of silver, giving you ten taels is enough to show pride, you are also afraid of the black heart, what is the difference between this and robbery." ”

The man said, "Why does this boy speak so badly? We are businessmen who follow the rules and are not bullied, if we annoy the customers once, do we want to do this business again next time? If you don't believe it, go to a private visit to inquire about the reputation of the store." ”

Li Zhihua smiled and said: "Brother Tai is a heroic agent, he didn't bring so many silver taels under him, what do you think?"

The guy smiled: "It's good to say, the silver is not enough, anyway, you can't leave the three of you in the store, otherwise it will be publicized, and the reputation of the store will be ruined." Just leave the valuable things around you, and the car and horses outside are also bet here, and the ten taels of silver will not be needed, and leave them to the three of them to be entangled, everyone is a friend, but what should be taken care of must not be ignored, I hope that the three of them will come here next time. ”

The woman also smiled and said: "The three guest officers, please forgive me, it's not that the small shop is cheating, now the situation is bleak, the particles are difficult to collect, even if you spend a lot of money, it is difficult to buy food, but this time you have to ask for more, I don't believe that we will invite some people to evaluate the theory." Then he called out to the inner courtyard. Before the shouting stopped, the dozen or so people rushed into the store as if they had emerged from the ground.

The woman said to the crowd, "The three guest officers have eaten six dishes, and the money for wine, rice, and tea is exempted, but they only charge three hundred taels of silver, but they say that they want more, and only two or three taels of small silver are enough." Let's judge, am I deliberately defrauding guests from afar?"

The crowd said nonsense: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, it's cheap, if you collect it like this, it will be a loss, and within two days, the store will be smashed." There is even one human: "Five hundred taels of silver is not much." The last time I went to Jiankang, I only wanted two dishes and a pot of wine, which was as rich as this, and I was charged two hundred and thirty taels of silver. These three little ministers seem to be the brothers of a wealthy family, and they will do their best to wear silkworms and eat without labor, but they don't know that these years are bitter and sad. You'd better buy more to eat in this store to prepare for hunger, otherwise when you go to another store, three hundred taels of silver will only be enough for two plates of pickles and a few bowls of gluten, let alone drink. ”

Li Zhihua saw that this person was thin and unrefreshed, his face was puffy, and he was hungry, and he felt disgusted, and thought to himself that with your miserable and bitter appearance, have you ever seen two or three hundred silver?

Zhu Shuzhen and Xiaohong saw that there were many of them, and they all seemed to be ruthless and unreasonable, so they couldn't help but panic, thinking that although Li Zhihua was strong in martial arts, the strong dragon couldn't fight the head snake, so they touched him lightly and said, "Forget it." ”

Li Zhihua snorted and said to the crowd: "Don't talk nonsense, I have already seen that you gang are a gang, waiting to deceive outsiders, and it is a one-time deed." My son is in a hurry to go, and I can't deal with you and other mountain village husbands, as soon as I shine the silver out, I intimidate you and other bitter galls, and sell all of you as livestock, and it is difficult to find one-tenth of the silver of this son. ”

When everyone heard this, they were annoyed, and they were furious, and shouted: "Good boy, you are rampant but very bad, you should teach you a lesson!" I saw a thin man carrying an eight-foot-long hoe and slamming him into the ground, bluffing him: "Who are you scolding?!"

Li Zhihua only felt a big earthquake under his feet, and then looked at the iron hoe, which had been deeply inserted into the ground, only the two-foot hoe was exposed, and he secretly exclaimed: "Today is clumsy, but these people are masters of extremely strong martial arts, I don't know who they are." At that moment, he took out the 10,000 taels of silver from his bosom and said, "Do you have 9,700 taels of silver to find me? If you can't find it, then there is no way, and you have to walk in arrears." ”

Everyone was surprised when they suddenly saw him show a huge ticket of 10,000 taels, and one said: "It must have been stolen or a fake ticket." ”

Li Zhihua said: "Even if I stole it, but I didn't steal yours, hurry up and find the silver first." ”

The strong man who was playing chess approached with a smile and said, "You present the silver ticket first, let us verify the authenticity, and then we can take the silver and return it to you." "Everyone is right.

Li Zhihua said: "This son is not fooled. The guy at the shop sneered: "It's not too embarrassing to show off with just 10,000 taels, move our goods out, and let this kid see the world!" The two iron boxes could hold an adult, and they seemed to be extremely heavy, and the boy could not carry two wooden boxes with ease. One person opened the iron lock and lifted the lid of the box, Li Zhihua and the three of them were surprised and inhaled cold air.

I saw that the two chests contained all the gold, silver, and jewelry. Horseshoe gold, large gold bills yellow dazzling, silver ingots, platinum nuggets shining, pearl agate, jade diamonds, are soft and bright, all stuffed with two boxes, about a million taels of silver.

Li Zhihua took a few pieces of gold and silver and bit it with his teeth, and sure enough, the quality was soft, and he pressed his hands heavily, and tried to lift it with both arms, each box had five or six hundred catties, and secretly praised the young man for his great strength, thinking that this group of people could have so much property, I don't know what kind of industry they are doing, they must be a gang of hidden thieves.

When everyone saw him try to bite with his teeth, and tried to move the iron box, but he didn't move, they all laughed. The shopkeeper said, "Little brother, I didn't ask you for more than three hundred taels of food, did I? If you have a big ticket of one hundred thousand taels, I can find it." Then the young man who was reading brought back the two boxes.

Li Zhihua smiled slightly and said, "You are so rich, it is really not much to ask me for three hundred taels of silver." But no matter how much gold, silver and jewelry there is, it is not unusual, and that little asset is not as valuable as my sword. After speaking, he took out the sword from the cloth on the side of the table, and with a "choking" sound, he pulled out the sword, and saw the cold light dazzling and the cold air attacking. He casually put his hand on the table and smiled at everyone: "Can you recognize this thing?"

Zhu Shuzhen often sees him carrying this sword, but it is an ordinary blade, and when he saw the words "Cadre Mo Evil Cast" on the sword at first glance, he couldn't help but exclaim.

When everyone suddenly saw the five words on the sword, they were even more shocked than Zhu Shuzhen, and they were all moved by their hearts. Several people shouted at the same time: "Commander Excalibur!" and the two of them couldn't help but reach out to take it. Li Zhihua hurriedly took the sword back, and said with a smile: "Each one doesn't owe anything, and it's rare to get a glimpse of this sword for a thousand taels of silver, and I won't ask you for silver." After that, he pulled Zhu and Hong out of the store.

The crowd was stunned, but the young man didn't know the origin of this sword, and hurriedly woke up the crowd and said, "Don't be stupid, people are far away." ”

Everyone suddenly woke up and hurriedly chased after them and shouted, "Don't go, if you do, you need to sell the sword to me!"

Li Zhihua bowed to Zhu Shuzhen and Xiaohong, signaled them to get into the car first, and then said to everyone: "This kind of divine object is not easy to come by, but I want to offer a gift from the emperor today, how can I be willing to sell it? Besides, you don't know how to use the sword, buy it, Fei Yin doesn't say it, and it is not worthy to hang it on your body, and it will cause even more trouble." Even if it is sold to you, you will not be able to afford it. ”

The man wearing the umbrella said: "As long as you are willing to sell, you can say a price, anyway, it can't be worth 100,000 taels of silver." ”

Li Zhihua said with a smile: "Don't say 100,000 taels, 10 million taels, 10 million taels and everyone can get it." Even if this sword is worthless, if I don't show it today, what will happen if you have more money? I dare to say that this sword can be sold for 10 million taels and paid tribute to the emperor, or it can be changed to a prominent official position to glorify the ancestors and sell it to you and other rough people in the countryside.

The man in the cloak said, "Hugh is stupid, do you sell this sword or not? Otherwise, if it is discovered by the gangsters, it will be empty of people and money, and there will be no remorse. Just give you 100,000 taels, and the three of you will become a rich man in no time. Where can you find such good things? Little brother, don't be stupid. Gu Changyun: The opportunity cannot be missed, and it cannot be missed. ”

The old pedant also said: "The ancient saying: 'Guarding without waving is a disaster, not a strong foundation; In between, abandon the former and choose the last, and then the one is the one who is in the environment. ......The old man smiled and said, "The sage said that if a person keeps things to the point of not seeking progress, he will be complacent, and if he scatters what he has learned or owned, he will be rewarded with peace and tranquility." If you choose the latter, you will be wise. If this boy does what the former says, he will be beaten with chickens and eggs, and he will end up with pity for the incomplete, and the mediocrity of self-error, and if he sells his sword to us, he will be rich and honorable for a lifetime, or if he uses these silver taels to do great deeds, then the wealth will be even more difficult to measure......"

Li Zhihua laughed and said: "The old gentleman's good and decent words are a little bookish, not more vulgar and reckless than his words." The old man smiled and said: "Childe has won the award, I really imagine the future of Childe, but you must not become a sinner who misleads yourself." It is the dawn of the morning festival and the season of prosperity, but it is a good time to start a business, don't be negative, don't be negative!"

Li Zhihua said: "Since the old gentleman is so deliberate about taking a good test for me, I will agree to you." I'm afraid that after you buy a sword, you will use this sword to kill me again, isn't it too upside down, and I really beat the chicken? ”
