Drive the RV back to Datang

Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Rip off

"Thank you for your praise, sir." Li Hao laughed and cupped his hands, looking very cheap.

Shen Song was so angry that he paced back and forth. In the end, he also knew that he had no other choice, so he could only hold back his anger and said, "Okay! I'll give you a thousand guan!"

"Master Shen generously donates money, helps the poor with righteousness, and is heroic and courageous. He is admirable and admirable. His loyalty can last forever..." Li Hao was in a good mood and felt that he had to flatter the other party so that the other party would lose After a thousand guan, you can still maintain a happy mood.

However, Shen Song obviously didn't think his flattery was so pleasant, but felt that it was a mockery of himself. With a dark face, he waved his hands and said, "That's enough, you get out of here quickly!" There's a pile of stinky shit.

Li Hao stretched out his hand and blinked quickly: "Where's the money?"

Shen Song almost fainted from anger, and pointed at Li Hao with trembling fingers: "You... you bastard, you are like reaching out in the coffin, asking for money! As the governor of the Jingzhao Mansion, the old man keeps his promises, don't you? I will still fail to pay my bills!"

Li Hao blinked and blinked: "Emperor Chrysostom speaks for itself, Mr. Shen, please be careful with your words."

Shen Song was startled when he heard the words, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was a monster, who could drive people to death. He had been in the officialdom for decades, but today he was at a disadvantage in speech. With a pen, he wrote a thousand IOUs to Li Hao on the spot.

After Li Hao got the IOU, he happily folded it into a square piece of paper, stuffed it into his arms, and happily lay back on the grass bed.

Seeing this, Shen Song was stunned, and ran over and asked angrily, "Boy, I have already issued an IOU, why don't you leave?"

"Let's go?" Li Hao said with an innocent face, "Although you issued a thousand IOUs, Mr. Fang Qiaofang still owes me a thousand IOUs. You ask him to also issue me a one thousand IOUs. Immediately slap your ass and leave."

Hearing this, Shen Song felt dizzy, dizzy, and tinnitus, and he was on the verge of falling. Fortunately, the prison chief and the guards had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and they stepped forward to support him, so he didn't fall down. Otherwise, he might have a stroke and beat Fang Xuanling Looking at the entire Tang Dynasty, this guy is already unique and unique.

"You...you...you bastard!" Shen Song angrily pointed at Li Hao and cursed, wanting to strangle him to death in prison.

"Thank you Master Shen for your compliment." Li Hao still responded with a cheap smile, which simply added fuel to the fire and made Shen Song even more angry.

Facing Shen Song's cursing, Li Hao was complacent and kept a smiling face, as if he was watching a clown performance. Finally, Shen Song was tired of cursing, stopped panting, calmed down his thoughts, and snorted coldly: " Kid, stop wishful thinking, hurry up and leave, Mr. Fang will never give you money."

Li Hao smiled slightly, and said: "Master Shen, you are wrong, Mr. Fang will definitely give me the money."

Shen Song narrowed his eyes: "Are you so sure?"

Li Hao said solemnly: "Of course I'm sure. You just have to tell him that I want a thousand guan. I will issue an IOU today and send someone to send the money to my house another day. I will pretend that this incident has never happened."

"Okay." Shen Song gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Just wait!"

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily. He had no choice but to ask Fang Xuanling for advice on Li Hao's hob meat. To kill Li Hao in prison, he believed that with Fang Xuanling's status, even if Li Hao was killed and the emperor knew about it, he would definitely be able to bear it, because he was Fang Xuanling.

The reason why Li Hao is sure that Fang Xuanling will lose money is because he just went through the matter secretly in his heart, and he can guess that after the private room Yiai returned, he must have told his father that the jade pendant had been stolen, and Fang Xuanling believed it was true , That's why he made this oolong, and he was caught in the Jingzhao prison cell. When Fang Xuanling knew the truth, there were only two choices. The first was to lose money and settle the matter, and the second was to kill himself directly. Don't let Li Shimin know about it, or Fang Yiai will be over.

Li Hao has been familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty, and knows that Fang Xuanling is an upright person. Although he is a little selfish, he is selfless to the Great Tang Sheji, which shows that he has a good character. The official is clean and honest, and the income of the family is not much. It is estimated that he cannot afford a thousand dollars. He is ready to be bargained.

Shen Song personally went to Fang Xuanling's mansion, and told Fang Xuanling everything in detail. After hearing this, Fang Xuanling was shocked, and hurriedly called Fang Yiai, and asked him to honestly explain how the jade pendant was lost. Yes, let’s start first. Fang Yi’ai insisted that it was stolen. Fang Xuanling knew his disappointing son too well. From his flickering expression, he could tell that he was lying, so he softened his tone and analyzed it to him. The serious consequences of this incident.

Fang Yiai was too timid, she fell to her knees in fright when she heard these words, explained the matter in detail, and recited the song "Wind into the Pine" verbatim to Fang Xuanling.

After listening to "The Wind Enters the Pine", Fang Xuanling frowned and relaxed her eyebrows. After a long while, she couldn't help sighing softly: "This is really a good poem, what a pity..."

Shen Song at the side asked in puzzlement, "What's the pity?"

Fang Xuanling smiled wryly: "It's a pity that the boy who recites poems has great talent but lacks virtue. He actually sells poems to make money. As Huang An said, he is indeed a jerk."

"That's right, he's an asshole!" Shen Song agreed angrily, obviously still angry with Li Hao.

Fang Xuanling called the housekeeper again, and asked him to withdraw [-] guan from the cashier, and send it directly to Li Hao's house, and by the way, notified Li Hao's housekeeper to pick him up from the prison.

This result made Shen Song very unhappy, but Fang Xuanling chose to compromise, he had no choice but to go back, but he did not go to see Li Hao in the prison, because he never wanted to see Li Hao's despicable face again No, it's simply insulting.

Early the next morning, the housekeeper Du Hong came to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion to pick Li Hao out of prison. When Li Hao heard that Fang Xuanling's five hundred guan coins had been delivered to his home, he raised his eyebrows and murmured with a smile: "Fang Xuanling Ling really bargained, hiss, the price was a bit too much, and it was actually discounted in half, that's all, anyway, the start-up funds are enough, um, now I'm going to ask Mr. Shen for money."

After he finished speaking, he left the cell, and went directly to Shen Song to ask for money. Shen Song still saw Li Hao's hideous face. In order not to make Li Hao disgust himself, he gave Li Hao two hundred silver collars without hesitation. A silver collar is five taels, which is exactly 1000 taels, worth one thousand guan.

Li Hao was overjoyed to see the silver collars. Silver in the Tang Dynasty was scarce, and a tael of silver would definitely be worth a penny. For Li Hao, a traveler, it was too inconvenient to take a lot of copper coins to the streets. Silver is the best choice. Unfortunately, there were no silver ingots in the Tang Dynasty, only silver collars. Silver collars were the predecessor of silver ingots. They were flat and shaped like boats, which looked like later silver ingots from the side.

Li Hao rented a cart full of silver collars, and drove home with Du Hong in a swaggering way. He didn't cover up the money in this cart, and just exposed it to everyone's sight. He did it on purpose, he just wanted to pretend to be a local tyrant, to make people envious, and it turned out that the effect was good. Along the way, everyone would stare at his carriage with complicated eyes.

There were two more large boxes in Li Hao's room, which were full of money, and if he did his own calculations, it would add up to [-] coins.

He felt that it was not safe to put so much money in the room, so he asked Du Hong if there was a cellar at home, but he did not expect to have one. Thinking about it was right, how could there be no cellar in such a big house, Li Hao went to check the cellar After a while, he found that the space was quite large, but there were too many sundries. He asked someone to tidy it up a bit, and then moved down the boxes of 1000 taels and [-] taels, and locked them with a lock. As for the remaining [-] taels, He kept two hundred guan for expenses, and the remaining [-] guan was going to the county government to buy land. Although his house occupied a large enough area, he still felt it was not enough. The chicken farm must be enlarged. To build a lot of processing workshops, a lot of land must be used. Anyway, his house is surrounded by vacant land. These vacant lands cannot be used for farming, and no one dares to build houses here. It is better to buy them and keep them for future use.

The price of good land in Datang is [-] to [-] mu, and the open space around Li Hao’s house is obviously not good land, so the price is naturally much cheaper. He set the price at [-] mu in his mind. Although land transactions are not so easy, He is a celebrity and has made great contributions, so it shouldn't be difficult to buy land.

That night, Li Hao entered the dream with a beautiful plan, however, early the next morning, Li Hao was awakened by crazy knocking on the door.

Li Hao was furious. He had lived here for several months, and it was the first time someone knocked on the door so arrogantly. He was the master of this house, and the most important thing was...he had a strong aura of getting up.

He threw off the quilt and got out of bed angrily, and went to open the door, only to see Du Hong standing at the door in a panic, not giving Du Hong a chance to speak, Li Hao directly scolded: "Du Hong, you don't want to be a housekeeper anymore, do you? Did I tell you not to wake me up before lunch time!"

"Master!" Du Hong's expression was as if his mother had died, "Our house... has been burglarized!"

"What!" Li Hao was shocked suddenly, staring and asked anxiously, "What was stolen?"

"The ground... the cellar!"

Li Hao suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and he didn't have time to put on his clothes and shoes. He ran to the cellar as if his butt was on fire, and found that the iron lock of the cellar had been unlocked. When he went down, he saw that it was empty, and the two lovely wooden boxes disappeared without a trace.

"It's over, it's over." Li Hao fell to the ground, as if he had lost his soul, and muttered blankly, "I finally got some money, and it was stolen, it's over..."

At this moment, Du Hong clumsily followed down to the cellar, and said with a mournful face, "Master, let's report to the officials."

"Report to an official?" Li Hao turned to look at him, "Is it useful to report to an official?" Influenced by his previous life, Li Hao had serious doubts about the government's ability to catch thieves.

"That's better than doing nothing."

"Okay, report to the official!" Li Hao got up suddenly, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Du Hong, you go to report to the official, I'll go back to my room to see if the five hundred pens in my room are still there."

"Ah, good!" Du Hong walked away after finishing speaking.
