Unparalleled Double Harmony
Chapter 134
Chapter 134
Night falls again.
Hong Wei also came to the unfinished "West Lake Villa" again.
Unlike last night, tonight the construction site was empty, not a single worker laying the floor.
Hong Wei understands that this means that his "throwing weight" last night has worked, and the other party must be ready and waiting for him.
Sure enough, before he stepped into the lobby on the first floor, he clearly noticed that there were people in the dark, and it was a large group of people.
It's a pity that although there are many people, judging from the breathing of these people, they are all ordinary people, not even one who knows martial arts.
Hong Wei, relying on his high martial arts skills, is not afraid of this kind of ambush at all, so he still walked in the door with a big swagger, and said with a smile while walking: "Heh... there are quite a few people here."
While speaking, he had secretly mobilized his internal strength and was ready to strike at any time...
Of course, those people did not attack him as he imagined.
"It's quite a lot." The next second, Xue Tui's voice sounded in the darkness, "But... with your martial arts, you probably won't take this to heart."
Hearing this, Hong Wei sneered: "Heh...then what are you going to do now?"
Xue Tui was also prepared for this question, and he quickly replied: "My young master means... since your Excellency is here to ask for money, then let's follow the rules of the road."
pop-
Having said that, Xue Tui quickly clapped his hands twice.
Hearing the sound, a member of the Sun family came out from behind Xue Tui, placed a two-foot-square wooden box on the ground in the middle of the hall, and quickly stepped back after placing it.
Although all of this happened in the dark, with Hongwei's eye and ear skills, it is not difficult to see the situation in front of him.
"There are about 500 taels in this box, all of which are scraps of silver that have been passed out. It is a small gift from my young master for Your Excellency. I hope that after you accept it, you can hold us high and let us go." Then he said just now, "As for your name, appearance, etc., we don't intend to inquire about it, so as not to make you feel uncomfortable..." At this point, he paused for a while, and then said, "I don't know how to deal with it. Still satisfied?"
Can you still be dissatisfied?
What Xue Tui said was impeccable, and the way he responded was also in line with the set of "digging for ideas".
Right now, I’ve given you money, and they’ve also purposely talked to you in the dark during the transaction, without even seeing your face… If you’re still not satisfied, then it’s not for the money that's it.
What about Hong Wei... In the final analysis, the main reason is to extort money. He and Sun Yixie don't have any deep hatred, and the anger is only temporary.
So he thought about it for a while, and then replied: "Well... for the sake of your young master being quite sensible, I will give him face too."
In fact, where is this giving face?It is right to give face to money.
At this moment, Hong Wei walked towards the box while talking.
Don't look at the fact that he has made peace with the other party on the surface, but in fact he has not let go of his inner guard - who knows whether your box is silver or something else?What if it was a murder mechanism, poisonous smoke, or a poisonous snake?Also, why did you put the box in this location?Is there a trap underneath?Or is there something on the ceiling that will come crashing down in a moment?
Hong Wei is not stupid, he has to guard against these things, so he walked very slowly when he got to the box; after standing still on the ground, his nerves were tense all the time.
After observing for a few seconds and basically confirming that there are no traps above his head or under his feet, Hong Wei pulled out his saber, used the tip of the sword to flip the lock on the box, and then slowly closed the box cover along the seam with the blade of the sword. pick apart.
During the whole process, his body kept a distance of more than one meter from the box, and he was ready to withdraw and dodge at any time.
squeak--
Finally, the box was opened.
The silver in the box reflects the faint moonlight, attracting the eyes of the whole house.
"Hahahaha..." Seeing that it was indeed money, Hong Wei laughed, "Okay, your young master is quite interesting..." While speaking, he put the lid on the box again, and with a single waist, he He picked up the box and put it under his left armpit, "Then I will take my leave."
"No." Xue Tui's attitude was still very calm, and the other party didn't notice anything strange.
Before he finished speaking, Hong Wei had already clamped the box, turned around and ran away.
The box containing 500 taels of silver weighs about 30 catties, which is not a big deal for a martial arts practitioner, let alone a master like Hong Wei.
However, he was also a guilty conscience. He obviously didn't find anyone following him, so he wandered around in the night for a while, and after confirming that there was no "tail", he slipped back to the inn where he was staying.
Back in the guest room, Hong Wei locked the doors and windows without saying a word, lit a small oil lamp, and immediately opened the box to check the contents again.
Why did he have to confirm it a second time?
This is also common sense in the Tao - the money dug out by digging fire ideas, it is best to re-assess immediately after getting it back, because this kind of money is generally "short and short". If you don't figure it out right away, It is easy to have conflicts when dividing the spoils.
Of course, Hong Wei works alone and doesn't need to share with others, but he still has to make a deal.
After all, this is money from extortion, and the extorted party must feel uncomfortable when paying the money. It is normal for people to try to pay less: for example, right now, for this silver box, as long as there are a few more wooden boards on the bottom of the box, or Some fake silver made of lead, stones and so on are mixed under the silver on the surface, and it is easy to get away with it.
As for the blackmailing party, even if it is discovered afterwards, as long as the ratio of "making up the number" is not too exaggerated, it will usually be accepted.
Hong Wei naturally understands these rules, so he was mentally prepared during the second inspection, even if only 500% to 300% of the silver was real in the end, he accepted it; because [-]% to [-]% of [-] taels was also more than [-] Well, if the poor families in those days had this money... it would be enough for two lifetimes.
But he didn't expect that after the final inspection, the box turned out to be full of real silver, without any fake silver...
"Hey! Pay attention." Now, even Hong Wei couldn't help sighing.
It is indeed rare for a master to give such money.
And all the money given is broken silver, which means that you don't have to bear the follow-up risk of taking the bank note to the counter to withdraw money, and you don't have to worry about any marks on the money, plus the previous transactions were all done in the dark ...It seems that the young master of the Sun family is really planning to give the money and handle the matter thoughtfully, and he doesn't plan to find out who the blackmailer is after the fact.
"Such a straightforward master... It seems that this money is a drop in the bucket for him." Hong Wei then thought, "Oh... okay, let's forget it this time, and I will come back when your restaurant opens. I will ask you for 1000 taels next time."
Ladies and gentlemen, this makes people feel unsatisfactory.
If a person gets money through a wrong way, if it is too easy, his concept of money will gradually become distorted, and then his greed will expand to a level that ordinary people cannot understand.
But no matter what, at least at this moment, Hong Wei believes that his idea of digging fire has succeeded.
He...was so naive.
Although his martial arts are very high, but the time to hang out is too short after all...
Some people may say, isn't Hong Wei involved in the rivers and lakes at about the same time as Sun Yixie?But don't you forget, who was Sun Yixie before he came out of the rivers and lakes?Who was Hong Wei before he left the rivers and lakes?
When Brother Rensun was messing around in the fish market, you Hong Wei was still picking up shit for others, now you want to blackmail him?Do you still think that after knocking, you can retreat completely?
So where did Sun Yixie do his tricks?
In fact, it is still on silver.
In Daxie, there are undoubtedly very few occasions where "whole silver ingots" are required to pay, and there are many kinds of silver ingots. Not all silver ingots have the same size, specification and shape, only official silver cast by the government. A unified standard, and this standard is not static.
At that time, most of the silver in circulation among the people was broken silver twisted from silver ingots of various specifications, or small ingots recast from broken silver... and these jobs were all carried out in ordinary markets. Silversmiths at work.
And why did people at that time have the inertial thinking that "only the whole ingot of silver will have a mark"?Because of the marked silver ingots, the marks are all stamped on by the "mold", which is completed simultaneously when the silver is cast. No one will cast a batch of silver first, and then engrave the marks one by one.
This is true for whole silver, how about broken silver?
But as the saying goes...it depends on human effort.
It is not impossible to engrave marks on the silver one by one, it just takes a lot of manpower and time.
The box of "broken silver" that Sun Yixie asked Xue to push out tonight was the one he hired half of the silversmiths in Hangzhou City to rush to work together during the day.
At first glance, each piece is irregularly shaped, but in fact there is a small mark that is extremely difficult to detect on each piece; this mark is invisible to ordinary people, but when the silver is recirculated back to the silversmiths If it is in the hands, it will definitely be discovered... At that time, the flow of the money can be used to reverse track where the money was spent and who spent it.
Hong Wei didn't know anything about it, he didn't expect any marks on the broken silver, so he just checked the amount of silver in the box, and found nothing abnormal at all, let alone Sun Yixie would come to track him down .
Therefore, the next day, Hong Wei retreated from the guest room and went straight to the most luxurious brothel in Hangzhou; anyway, it was the young master of the Sun family who was "treating guests", 500 taels was enough for him to enjoy himself for a long time.
And when he left, it led to that——Sun Yixie set up a messy place, and the red plum bird was killed in Yuqilou.
