Need for a Guard

Yantong had to admire Shi Yue's cunning!

This fellow, first of all, was a hypocritical young man who told the real prices of the tables, chairs and cups, which made Meng Jiao feel authentic and credible, and his skin didn't itch, so he agreed and paid the full amount. Who would have thought that there was old man Geng up there. Inscription?

Looking at Meng Jiao's bitter face, which was neither dark nor purple, Yantong also knew that Meng Jiao was in a dilemma. i^

Old man Geng is not only the dean of Wenxing Academy, but also one of the best Confucian scholars in Dayan. Although He Dan has a false name, compared with Old Master Geng, the gap is thousands of miles away. Old Master Geng teaches and educates people, cultivates talents, and benefits scholars all over the world , in the eyes of wits, is a superior existence.

Because of this, his calligraphy is very rare, and every word is a priceless treasure. No matter how much money you have, you can't get his own inscription, but you can't imagine that there is his inscription on the chair in Mingyue Tower , it is incredible.

"Master He, you...you are not joking, are you?"

Meng Jiao recovered from the shock, suppressed his beating heart, and stammered, "Old Master Geng's calligraphy is a priceless treasure that can never be found. How could he write an inscription on the leg of a chair? Hehe... According to me Look, or... is it a fake?"

When he spoke, he felt guilty—after all, Meng Jiao is also a scholar, and his knowledge can be regarded as a little success. After being reminded by He Dan, he explained it carefully at a close distance, and found that the meaning of this calligraphy is coherent, unrestrained and unrestrained. Anything that can be imitated?

He Dang was about to block Meng Jiao, but Shi Yue said with a smile: "Master He has a good eye! I thought why Mr. Geng is unfamiliar with the calligraphy of Mr. Geng and dare not recognize it, or Mr. He is afraid of offending Mr. Meng, Even if I saw it, I didn’t dare to tell it directly, but now it seems that I have judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, damn it! Really damn it.”

After saying this, He Dan was blocked by Shi Yue, and it was extremely difficult to take back the flower. He took a look at Meng Jiao and could only express his sympathy. %&*";

Meng Jiao could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and said helplessly, "Shi Qianhu, please make a price, I will accept it."

Shi Yue smiled, "Master Geng's calligraphy is hard to come by. If I want less, I'm sorry for Master Geng's reputation. If I want more, it will embarrass Mr. Meng again. In my opinion, this is the way it is." The pair of ink treasures is set at 1 taels of silver, how about it?"

One million taels!

Meng Jiao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, finally heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Shi Qianhu is quick to speak, I will pay the price." Touching the cold sweat profusely on his forehead, he also felt that it was reasonable , and even feel cheap.

"Mr. Meng is so forthright, really admirable!"

Shi Yue clapped his hands, and passed the jade fragments collected by Hongxing in front of Meng Jiao one by one, and said loudly: "This is a five-character quatrain "Yong Mei" composed by Chen Sifan and everyone in charge of poetry. One is a picture of hundreds of beauties drawn by Zhu Chaozhu, uh... this is the crazy grass that everyone He Yuanhe created with one stroke..."

Shi Yue counted them one by one, and all the smashed things had inscriptions written by famous people, and every famous person was a great Confucianist and a master among literati.

This time, Meng Jiao's intestines are all regretful—you fucker, these great scholars are crazy, and calligraphy is hard to find on weekdays, but I didn't expect their breath to be everywhere in Mingyue Tower. Hey, how much do you have to pay for it? money!

Shi Yue smiled and said: "Young Master Meng, you are so bold, how could I ask you how much money you want? Masters Chen, Master Zhu, and Master He have the same status as Master Geng, and they are indistinguishable. Since Master Geng's Calligraphy is priced at 1 taels, so the others are also priced at 1 taels."

Shi Yue wrung his fingers and calculated carefully: "There are ten pairs of calligraphy in total, which add up to 10 taels of silver. The sum of jade tables and chairs, and amber teacups is 1 taels, and the total is 11 taels."

"Hey! Forget it, my jade table and chairs, amber teacup, because I don't know Mr. Meng, I don't need it. Mr. Meng, the total is 10 taels of silver. Please look at the details carefully." After finishing speaking, he handed the details to Meng Jiao.

Another 10 taels!

When Meng Jiao heard it, his heart felt like a knife was pierced, and he had a colic, and reluctantly said: "Okay! This is what it should be. Thank you Brother Shi for giving me a discount."

"You're welcome! You're welcome!"

Shi Yue waved his hand and said with a big smile: "Mr. Meng, don't think that I am asking for a lot of money. The 10 taels of silver will be returned to everyone without change. No matter how you calculate it, the jade tables and chairs, amber The teacup is in my own hands, anyway, who made me so kind-hearted?"

But in fact, the inscriptions written by Old Master Geng and others were also obtained by Shi Yue by means of "swindling and abducting". Shi Yue spent 500 taels of silver and invited them to drink. Above, not a penny was spent.

Otherwise, those great Confucian scholars would write inscriptions on the tables, chairs and benches when they are full?Are you crazy?

So, how could Shi Yue generously give the money to everyone?Besides, the scholars are all noble, and the money is stupid. If you give it to everyone, wouldn't you look down on them?Haha... I had no choice but to keep the silver for myself.

Meng Jiao heard Shi Yue boasting of his kindness, so he was so angry that he rolled his eyes to the sky, endured the distraction, and said to Shi Yue: "Shi Qianhu, is it done now? What else do you want, please mention it together." Come out, let's make a quick fight."

Quick fix?Haha... I want to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, which will make you grin your teeth in pain.

Shi Yue wondered again: "You forgot to remind Mr. Meng, those followers of yours disturbed and caused trouble, trespassed on Mingyue Tower, smashed and robbed, and were taken to a black prison. Do you want to redeem them? According to the laws of Dayan , as long as there is enough silver, you can redeem people.”

Redeem someone?

Meng Jiao was very annoyed by this group of drunkards and rice bags—this group of bastards, who used to be bragging and bubbling, looked like I was the best in the world, who would have thought that their ambitions were superior and their abilities inferior, not only smashing tables, chairs and benches, but also costing themselves 10 taels of silver. Hei Yiwei's opponent was defeated in one round.

What's the use of keeping such a useless guard?It's better to let them eat in prison and never come out.

Thinking of this, Meng Jiao was upright, and said in a clear voice: "Shi Qianhu, I am a scholar, and I pay attention to the law in everything. It's not that I don't miss the old love, but that they broke the law and reformed and reflected in prison. As a matter of course, how can I let them lose the opportunity to realize their mistakes? Although I can't bear it in my heart, I can't redeem myself for them."

"Okay! Well said, Mr. Meng is upright, and he is worthy of being a model for scholars."

Shi Yue stretched out his thumb to compliment him, but he was very contemptuous in his heart—this guy is narrow-minded, and he actually blamed the guard who worked for him, it is hopeless not to miss a little old love.

If you don't redeem people, I have no choice but to force you to redeem people...

Shi Yue praised Meng Jiao a lot, and then said leisurely: "Alright, in my opinion, they must have done some bad things behind the back of Mr. Meng, who disregarded the laws of the king. Because of Mr. Meng's relationship, I still have a lot Worry, now that I am sure that Mr. Meng has the heart to uphold justice, how can I show mercy to them outside the law?"

Suddenly his face turned cold, and he looked sideways at Lei Dahu and said: "Lei Baihu, hurry back to the black prison, torture them, and make them spit out all the evil things they have done."

"Whoever is involved in those evil deeds will be arrested and brought to justice. Even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu will not be allowed to relent. We... have to learn from Mr. Meng!"

Meng Jiao was frightened half to death, seeing Lei Dahu walking out briskly, he hurriedly said, "Don't! I changed my mind, I want to redeem him..."
