Chapter 29 Extortion

In Daihu Villa, Yue Wudi was quite disappointed that he didn't see Xin Qiji, and then learned the news of Mo Youming from the old servant, and his heart was even more mixed.

He couldn't stand the old servant's verbosity, so he took his leave and left, all the way to the west, in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

On this day, he came to the border of Chenzhou, Hunan, Yue Wudi felt hungry in his stomach, so he hurried to the town, where there were many liquor shops and shops on the street, Yue Wudi swallowed his saliva, touched the money bag again, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

"It's really a penny that is hard to beat a hero, Qin Qiong sold horses and Yang Zhi sold knives back then, which made people sigh. Today, I, Yue Wudi, have actually reached such a point, and even worse than the two of them. At the very least, they have BMW knives to sell for money, but I can't sell anything if I want to. Yue Wudi sighed in his heart, he had been away from home for a long time, he had eaten a lot, and the silver he was carrying had been almost used up under his heavy eating and drinking.

Yue Wudi's eyes swept around, and he saw that most of the restaurants on the street were richly decorated, and there were many guests, only a dilapidated small wine shop in the corner, which was quite deserted.

Yue Wudi thought to himself: "The grade of this store is lower, the price must be cheap, so let's go and take a look." So he went to the little wine shop.

As soon as he entered the store, the expressions on the faces of the passers-by and vendors on the street became strange, some gloating, others sympathetic, and shaking their heads one after another.

An old beggar on the side of the road sneered: "This stranger is greedy for cheapness, and there will be hardships to suffer later." ”

A young beggar said hatefully: "Bah, Zhang Ergou's bastard, do some immoral things, I think someone will clean him up sooner or later." He was indignant, and seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the so-called Zhang Ergou.

When the old beggar heard this, he sneered even more and said, "Who dare? Zhang Ergou can be regarded as turning over now, who can afford to provoke him? Even the government doesn't care about him!"

The young beggar said: "If no one cares, I will take care of it, as long as I join the beggar gang in the future, what are you afraid of Zhang Ergou?"

The old beggar sneered and said, "Xiao Li, you are still too young, how can the beggar gang be so easy to join? Not to mention that you have to know martial arts to be qualified, even if you have learned martial arts, you still need to be recommended by someone in the beggar gang." Which of these two conditions have you met?"

The young beggar blushed and said indignantly, "I will definitely learn martial arts!"

Yue Wudi naturally didn't know about the conversation between the two beggars, he strode into the wine shop, and after sitting down, his eyes swept around, and he was slightly surprisedβ€”he was the only guest in the entire wine shop!

Yue Wudi smiled bitterly, thinking that the food in this wine shop must be difficult to swallow, but as long as he can eat at this time, where will he be picky, and shouted loudly: "Bartender, cut a few catties of meat, any meat is good, and get another catty of rice." ”

"Okay, guest officer, please wait!" An excited cry came from inside, Yue Wudi was secretly amused, thinking that this bartender was not easy, and he was so happy that only one guest came.

After a while, the bartender took a plate of beef, a plate of pig's head meat and a whole plate of chicken, put it on Yue Wudi's table, and greeted warmly: "Guest officer, please use it slowly, the rice will arrive later, do you want to drink some more wine, our store has good bamboo leaves, that taste is wonderful!"

Yue Wudi was addicted to alcohol for a while, but when he thought of being shy in his pocket, he could only forcibly hold back and said, "No need, it's good to have beef, this thing is rare." ”

In the agrarian society, the ploughing cattle are an important production tool, the imperial court law, it is strictly forbidden to slaughter, only the old or sick dead ploughing cattle, after the approval of the report, can be slaughtered and eaten, so Yue Wudi saw the beef, he was slightly happy.

When the bartender heard this, his face showed contempt, and he secretly scolded the poor ghost, and he was reluctant to drink even a pot of wine.

Yue Wudi didn't care, he ate the meat in a big gulp, he was hungry, he ate three plates of meat by dividing five by two, seeing that the bartender was slow to eat rice, Yue Wudi was slightly angry, but then he thought about it: "Why bother with ordinary people? ”

Immediately shouted: "Bartender, check out." ”

The bartender walked over with a smile, pinched his fingers and calculated: "A plate of beef is five taels, a pig's head meat is two taels, a chicken is three taels, a total of ten taels of silver, thank you for your patronage, guest officer, settle the bill!"

Yue Wudi almost thought that he had heard it wrong, but when he saw the sinister on his face, he immediately reacted, it turned out that he had entered a black shop, he sneered in his heart, and asked in a cold voice, "You are not wrong?"

The bartender sneered and shouted, "Why, do you want to pay the bill after eating?" Moreover, the store has never been afraid of people paying their bills, look at the guest officer, you are a foreigner, I am afraid you don't know how powerful this store is, you can ask them, ask if anyone can eat the overlord meal in this store?"

When the onlookers saw the bartender pointing to them, they immediately fell silent.

Yue Wudi smacked his tongue secretly, he didn't expect this little bartender to have such a might, looking at this situation, I'm afraid things can't be good.

At that moment, he took out the money bag from his bosom, poured it into the palm of his hand, and poured it to the bottom, and only poured out a few pieces of silver.

The bartender's sharp eyes saw the amount of silver in his hand, and he immediately exclaimed: "How can this little silver be enough? It's ten taels of silver! If you can't hand over ten taels of silver today, don't even think about walking out of the door of our store!"

Yue Wudi smiled: "You misunderstood, although this bit of silver is small, it is not given to you." I mean, I only have this money on me, and if you are brave enough, come and take it. ”

The bartender laughed angrily and shouted arrogantly, "In all these years that this store has been open, no one has dared to talk to me like this, foreigner, you are really impatient." ”

Among the onlookers, someone kindly persuaded: "Stranger, Zhang Ergou is now a person under Qiu Fu, you can't afford to provoke it, give the silver as soon as possible, and avoid disaster." ”

Someone sneered: "I haven't seen you such an arrogant foreigner, the strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake, not to mention that you are such a young boy, you dare to compete with Zhang Ergou, it's really stupid, I don't have any eyes at all." ”

"Yes, when you go out, it won't work without eyes, and you may be cleaned up one day. This kid is so arrogant, I think he hit Zhang Ergou's hands, it's not a bad thing, at least it's a long lesson, the province doesn't know how high the sky is. ”

Zhang Ergou heard everyone's discussions, and he was even more proud, and shouted: "Boy, have you heard it, these neighbors are all for your good, if you know each other, take out twenty taels of silver now, and the uncle will let you go, otherwise, hum, if you don't give it, the uncle will take it himself, and then the skin and flesh will suffer, but don't blame the uncle for not reminding you." ”

Among the onlookers, someone persuaded him: "Stranger, hurry up and give him money, just like that, the money will rise to twenty taels." If you don't give it again, maybe it's thirty taels later, the hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, money is an external object, don't take it too seriously. ”

Yue Wudi sneered and said to the man: "I am very kind, but my Yue's silver is not something that any cat or dog can grab." ”

Zhang Ergou heard Yue Wudi sarcastically saying that he was a cat and a dog, and immediately jumped to his feet in anger and shouted: "Stinky boy doesn't know what to do, wait for you to be cleaned up by the uncle, see how you beg for mercy, hum, if you don't kowtow to the uncle three times, I will give you a hundred taels and I won't spare you!"
