Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 624
Gongsun Yunxiu and Li Zhizhou stared at each other, feeling a little nervous.

"What about this table?" Gongsun Yunxiu asked.

The restaurant owner smiled and said, "This table costs five taels of silver."

Li Zhizhou suddenly felt a pain in his body, and then he heard Yun Dian say: "Mr. Li, last night Yihongyuan consumed eight pots of wine, each pot worth 40 taels of silver, a total of 25 taels, and ordered four accompanying dancing girls, [-] taels per person!"

Gongsun Yunxiu was shocked and looked at Li Zhizhou: "Did you visit a brothel last night? And you spent so much money!"

"No...I didn't drink so much!" Li Zhizhou was confused.

"Eh...Mr. Li, why are you like this?"

Yun Dian said: "Yesterday at Yihongyuan, you were the one who asked me to serve the wine, so I asked others to serve it!"

"No, no, I definitely didn't drink so much. And what's going on with the bartender? Why did you order the bartender? And you got 25 taels of silver per person!"

Yun Dian tutted: "What's wrong, Mr. Li, have you forgotten the four beauties who danced and drank with you last night?"

"You... dance?" Gongsun Yunxiu was stunned, vaguely feeling that he had missed something.

"No...hey, it's not that he jumped, that's not it! This...I can't explain clearly!"

Li Zhizhou didn't know what to say for a moment, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Yun Dian was still calculating the accounts: "The maintenance of the carriage is five taels, the fodder plus the horse's accompanying musicians and masseurs are five taels in total, and the parking fee is one tael, which is 11 taels."

"Oh, by the way, I have to add my tour guide fee of five taels..."

Li Zhizhou pointed at Yun Dian with a look of disbelief: "You, you, you, Mr. Yun, you also want to collect money?"

"Mr. Li, what do you mean? I walked around the county with you two for nearly four or five hours yesterday. I just earned a little money. Of course I have to charge money."

With a few swipes, Yun Dian calculated all the accounts: "Okay, you two, the total is 230 taels. I'll give you a zero, the total is 230 taels."

"Duoduo, how much?" Li Zhizhou asked with a trembling voice.

Gongsun Yunxiu's pupils shrank and he looked at Li Zhizhou's package. How much money seemed to be in it?One hundred or two hundred?
That should be enough, right?
"A total of 230 taels." Yun Dian smiled.

Li Zhizhou almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: "Why is it so expensive!"

Yun Dian said quickly: "Mr. Li, all our things are clearly marked with prices, and the government will come to inspect them every three days. What we focus on is an absolutely innocent child!"

"Check out." Gongsun Yunxiu calmed down.

"Dean." Li Zhizhou was almost crying.

But Gongsun Yun still said: "Check out!"

There was nothing I could do, I ate and slept, even if I wanted to default on my debt, there was nothing I could do.

Gongsun Yunxi only prayed that Li Zhizhou had enough banknotes in his bag.

Li Zhizhou tremblingly opened his bag and took out a few banknotes and handed them to Yun Dian.

Yun Dian took it and looked at it, then the smile on his face stopped abruptly. He looked at Li Zhizhou and Gongsun Yunxiu and whispered: "These two, this is only 150 taels, which is far from enough."

Li Zhizhou said sadly and angrily: "This is all the money we have!"

I grass!

Yun Dian was immediately confused: "You two have so little money combined?"

"What do you mean, just such a small amount of money! This more than 100 taels is not enough! How many pens, inks, papers and inkstones can I buy with this!" Ye Zhizhou shouted.

It is true that Gongsun Yunxiu and his wife carried quite a lot of money, even based on the purchasing power of 100 taels of silver during the Wanqing period.

100 taels of silver is almost 150 soft girl coins, and these 3 taels are more than [-] yuan.If this amount of money is placed in an ordinary state capital, some people may never see such a large amount of money until they die.

Even in the Zhou Kingdom, 150 taels of silver could allow Li Zhizhou to live comfortably for half a year.

But who the hell would have thought that when they came to Yuanjiang County, they would have spent less than a day and still owe 80 taels of silver!
"Grass!"

Yun Dian let out an angry roar and looked at Li Zhizhou and Gongsun Yunxiu with distorted faces.

The King of Black Tour Guides only felt insulted at this moment!

I have been hunting eagles all day long, but I didn’t expect that I would be pecked in the eye by an eagle today!These are two poor guys!
I finally took action myself, but I was deceived by two poor guys!

How can I still be a part of the tour guide industry in the future?What does the little brother think of me?
Disgraced!What a ruin!

"You, you, you, what are you going to do!"

Looking at Yun Dian's distorted face, Li Zhizhou was immediately startled. Could this guy be trying to kill someone?

Yun Dian said angrily: "I don't care what method you use, just raise money for me! Damn you two poor idiots! I'm so angry!"

Gongsun Yunxiu was also surprised that Yun Dian's attitude changed so smoothly, but he was helpless and could only take out the jade flute from his waist: "Mr. Yun, look at how much silver this thing can mortgage."

Yun Dian looked better now, took the jade flute and asked the waiter to take it to the pawn shop.

Soon the waiter came back: "The pawnshop owner said that the jade flute can be used for ten taels of silver."

"There are still 70 taels left! Damn it, I thought it was some kind of precious jade!" Yun Dian turned to look at the two of them.

Gongsun Yunxiu and Gongsun Yunxiu looked at each other with a bitter expression. Gongsun Yunxiu said bravely: "We came here in a hurry and didn't bring much money. Can you allow us to go back and get it?"

Yun Dian frowned: "Where did you come from?"

Gongsun Yunxiu said: "The Kingdom of Zhou."

"So, you mean I'll let you go back to Zhou to get the money?" Yun Dian laughed angrily.

Gongsun Yunxiu: "Is it okay?"

"What do you think! Damn it, do you know how far away the Kingdom of Zhou is from our Kingdom of Qian! If you go and don't come back, who will I ask for money from?"

Li Zhizhou also slapped the table angrily: "How dare you, Mr. Gongsun is the respected dean of the State of Zhou! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

"Dean Zhou Guo?"

Yun Dian was stunned for a moment and then sighed: "I don't care who you are! The Zhou people are amazing! If we can't get the money today, neither of you can even think of leaving!"

Gongsun Yunxiu was helpless, as his status as the dean of the Zhou Kingdom was of no use in this Qian Kingdom.

Li Zhizhou was also a little flustered and whispered: "Dean, how about we look for Mr. Zhang Sheng?"

"Mr. Zhang seems to be a man with no money in his pocket." Gongsun Yunxiu sighed.

When Li Zhizhou thought about it, it was true that although Zhang Sheng was famous all over the world before, he came from a humble background. Although he had a high status in the Zhou Kingdom, he really didn't have much money.

Of course, he didn't need much money, and many dignitaries would fawn over him when traveling, just like Gongsun Yunxiu today.

The reputation is great, but the people are poor.

For more than an hour, everyone in the room stared at each other, and Yun Dian cursed angrily: "Damn it, it seems you two can't come up with the money."

Gongsun Yunxiu and Li Zhizhou smiled bitterly. If this matter were to spread out today, they would probably be ruined.
