A knife in love

Chapter 393

After hearing this, everyone was startled, wondering what the hell Situ Qiao was trying to do.

Deng Yao chuckled and said, "When it comes to money, which one of us is better than you, Mr. Situ? Back then, Mr. Situ made a lot of money, and the rare treasures he got were more than tens of millions? Later, he married When we arrived at Hua's house..."

When Deng Yao said this, he said "Bah bah" twice with a smirk on his face, and then said with a smile: "Look at my stinky mouth, I always say the wrong thing, Mr. Situ, don't worry about it."

Situ Qiao's face sank like water, and he said, "The beggar's mouth is stinky, what am I blaming you for?"

Seeing Deng Yao mocking Situ Qiao, Qunhao was very pleased.Li Qiufeng thought in his heart: "As the saying goes, you don't slap someone in the face, and you don't expose your faults when you curse. Deng Yao's previous confrontation with Situ Qiao was just to vent his dissatisfaction and swear some foul words, which is nothing. It's just that this This sentence exposed Situ Qiao's scars, and with his vengeful temperament, he would definitely not let Deng Yao go. It's just that Deng Yao spoke so harshly at each other, but Situ Qiao didn't retort as before. He hated Deng Yao to the extreme. On the contrary, he held back and didn't say anything. Just waiting for his anger to vent out, I'm afraid something will happen to Deng Yao."

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng stared at Situ Qiao closely, secretly guarding himself.

But Deng Yao went on to say: "Later, Mr. Situ joined the Hua family. I think the Hua family is rich and well-known all over the world. Mr. Situ became the son-in-law of the Hua family, so naturally he has no shortage of money. Now he actually asks us scumbags for money. Silver, and a large ingot of silver, isn’t this spitting on our faces in front of us?”

As soon as Deng Yao's words fell, several people immediately echoed and ridiculed Situ Qiao.

Situ Qiao still had a blank expression on his face, and said: "To be honest, my monthly allowance at Hua's house is only three or two to five dollars, and I have to spend carefully to get by. This time I am in a hurry to go out on business, so I only pay in advance I spent a month’s worth of silver, and it was completely spent. Fortunately, I borrowed a few taels of silver from Mr. Liu a few days ago, but now there is not much left."

After Situ Qiao finished speaking, he groped for a moment from his bosom, then took out something and stretched out his hand.Under the light of the torch, I saw three or four pieces of broken silver in his palm, about one or two.

This was beyond everyone's expectations.The Hua family in the capital is a well-known wealthy family in the world, and has been entangled with the underworld.If it is said that the Hua family is short of money, it can be said that no one believes it.This Situ Bridge's reputation in the world is not small, and his kung fu in making locks is unparalleled in the world.As the son-in-law of the Hua family, he will naturally not be short of money.What's more, everyone was in the cave just now, listening to his narration of the past, knowing that this person used to hang out with a group of tomb robbers for a long time, so naturally his hands and feet would not be clean.Although he did not explicitly mention the purpose of the Dabaoen Temple, everyone had already guessed that he was going to the temple to steal treasures.It's just that he didn't expect that there would be murderous threats everywhere in the Dabaoen Temple, and he almost lost his life there.But this also proves that Situ Qiao must have done a lot of business without capital, so no one would believe him if he said he had no money.It's just that looking at his appearance at this time, it really doesn't look like he's pretending.Everyone was surprised, not knowing what Situ Qiao was up to.

Liu Yong couldn't bear to embarrass Situ Qiao, so he took out another handful of broken silver from his bosom, which was five or six taels, and handed it to Situ Qiao, "Mr. Situ, I still have some silver here, do you think it is enough?"

The leaders of all the gangs present admired Liu Yong very much and regarded him as the leader of everyone.Seeing Liu Yong take out the silver at this time, they also took out the silver one after another.It's just that these people are gang leaders. Although they are not short of money, when they go out, the money is usually handed over to trusted disciples for safekeeping. It was the same small piece of silver as Liu Yong.

Situ Qiao looked at the scattered coins in everyone's hands and shook his head.Everyone thought that he thought he had little money, and they were all indignant.Someone thought: "Although the money we collected is like a drop in the bucket compared to the wealth of the Hua family, it is still five to sixty taels. The money is enough to buy a small house with two rooms and two floors in the capital. You No matter how rich and powerful Situ Qiao is, shouldn't he despise us so much?!"

Taoist Qingfeng took out four taels of broken silver, and when he saw Situ Qiao shaking his head, he was also quite angry.It's just that at this juncture, it's natural not to let this person laugh at the heroes of the rivers and lakes for being stingy.When he left Huashan, he just received a sum of annual silver from the farm, which was 250 taels.When the Zhuangtou of the Tianzhuang handed over the money, because the amount was too large and it was inconvenient to carry, he issued a bank note at the bank and wanted to send it to the Taihua faction.Daoist Qingfeng took the disciples of the Taihua School to Beijing, and happened to meet that Tianzhuang Zhuangtou at the foot of Mount Hua, and handed over the silver ticket to Taoist Qingfeng.At this time Taoist Qingfeng gritted his teeth, reached out and took out the banknote, and said to Situqiao, "There is still a banknote of 250 taels in Pindao, which was issued by Guangfeng, and the five northern provinces can be exchanged universally. Just take it."

When everyone saw Taoist Qingfeng being so generous, they couldn't help being startled.Deng Yao laughed, and said: "The Taoist priest is really refreshing. Such a large sum of money, if you say it, you will take it out, admiration, admiration."

Chu Danyang said: "Daoist Qingfeng is anxious and kind, we are very grateful. It's just that today's matter is to find a way out for fellow martial arts, so naturally we can't let the Taihua faction bear it alone. After this matter is over, let's help each other Pai wants to share the money, what do you guys think?"

Everyone felt that what Chu Danyang said was reasonable, and they all nodded in agreement.Daoist Qingfeng was just impulsive, and took out the 250 taels of silver in a moment of excitement.It's just that this money is the annual silver of the farm for three years, and it is also one of the biggest income of the Taihua School.If the money is gone, the Taihua faction will inevitably have to tighten their belts for three years.Taoist Qingfeng felt a little regretful when he took out the bank note, but now he felt a little better after hearing what Chu Danyang said.

Unexpectedly, Situ Qiao looked at the bank note in Taoist Qingfeng's hand, and still shook his head.

When he first opened his mouth to ask for money, everyone thought he was asking for a reward for leading the way.Everyone was trapped on this small platform, and there was a bottomless abyss ahead, and there was no retreat behind.Since Situ Qiao said that he had found the way to Jingxin Temple, even if he took the opportunity to cheat, everyone could only obey.Later, Situ Qiao said that he had very little money in Hua's house every month, and he borrowed money from Liu Yong after he went out, which further proved that he wanted to make a fortune by taking the opportunity, so everyone present looked down on him.It's just that Qingfeng Taoist took out 250 taels of silver notes, and he was not satisfied.Everyone was furious and shouted at him one after another.Even Liu Yong couldn't bear it any longer, and said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, you are so despised that you value wealth and despise righteousness."

Situ Qiao rolled his eyes strangely, and said, "I don't want to loose money, let alone bank notes!"

Lin Yilang held the long sword tightly and shouted to Situ Qiao: "You think the money is too little, I will give you a sword, do you want it?"

Situ Qiao sneered and said, "I don't use a sword, so what's the use of this scrap metal in your hand?"

Lin Yilang said: "The scrap metal in my hand is indeed worthless, but it is enough to pierce a transparent hole in your chest!"

Situ Qiao said: "I'm not asking you for money, but I want to use big ingots of silver as an introduction to find the road to Jingxin Temple!"

When he said this, everyone was shocked.Xu Chenghe said: "There is a saying in the rivers and lakes that I planted this tree and opened this road. If you want to live from now on, keep the money to buy the road. Is Mr. Situ planning to buy a road with money? Since it is money Buying roads, whether it is scattered silver or bank notes, what is the difference from large ingots of silver?"

Everyone knew that Xu Chenghe's words were meant to be sarcastic, and many of them laughed out loud.

Liu Yong said to Situ Qiao: "Mr. Situ, what are you going to use the money for?"

Situ Qiao sighed, and said: "It's really hard to talk to you rough people!" After he finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, and then said to Liu Yong: "Mr. Liu, please lend me your sword."

Liu Yong's heart trembled, but he hesitated.It must be known that people in the Jianghu regard the weapons they carry with them as their lives.What's more, for Liu Yong, a first-class figure in the world, since he entered the teacher's school, the long sword in his hand was given by his predecessor, and he loves it like his life.After decades of use, the sword is as precious as hands and feet.If the sword in hand is lost, even if it is a different sword, it will not be as easy to use as before, and the martial arts will inevitably be greatly compromised.Therefore, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, it is not easy to borrow weapons from others.What's more, Liu Yong and Situ Qiao didn't have a deep friendship, so it was very abrupt for Situ Qiao to borrow Liu Yong's sword rashly.

Situ Qiao saw Liu Yong's troubled face, and said, "Mr. Liu, you can rest assured, I'm just borrowing it, and it won't damage your weapon."

Liu Yong pondered for a while, stretched out his hand and drew out the sword, with the hilt facing and the blade facing backward, and handed it to Situ Qiao.When everyone saw Liu Yong handing over the sword, even though he was facing Situ Qiao, whose martial arts status was far inferior to his own, he was very particular about etiquette, and they all praised him for his kindness.

After Situ Qiao took the sword, he looked at it for a while, and sighed: "It's really a good sword!" At this time, he handed the torch to Chu Danyang who was standing beside him, and held a small piece of silver with his left hand. , holding the sword in his right hand, making a gesture to cut off the silver.It's just that the broken piece of silver was no more than the size of a fingernail. Although Liu Yong's sword was sharp, it couldn't cut that piece of silver.

Situ Qiao sharpened the sword on the silver several times, but it passed with a single stroke, unable to cut the silver into pieces.Situ Qiao put down the silver and said to everyone: "Do you understand? This small piece of broken silver can't be whittled into powder at all, so you need a large ingot of silver to do it."

Situ Qiao returned the sword to Liu Yong while talking.Only then did everyone know his purpose. Although they didn't know what he was going to use the silver powder for, they could only confirm that he was not trying to take advantage of the opportunity to rob people, let alone tease everyone, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.Li Qiufeng thought to himself: "This Situ Qiao's temper is too weird. In fact, this matter only needs to be stated explicitly, but he deliberately pretended to be mysterious, which made everyone speculate and didn't say anything. It took a lot of time. Just look His appearance is indeed confident. However, in this dangerous situation, where will he find a large ingot of silver? If there is no other way, he has to go back to the cave and find Qunhao to borrow silver. In the cave There are three or four thousand heroes gathered, and there will always be someone who will bring a big ingot of silver."

While he was thinking about it, he saw Deng Yao reaching out from his pocket and taking out two large ingots of silver, each worth five taels, and handing them to Situ Qiao: "The old beggar just brought two ingots of silver, I don't know if it is enough What do you use?"
