Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 8 Brave Performance

"Yo, isn't this the third master of the Shen family? Why do you stay up in the middle of the night and come to this remote place?"

As he spoke, one of them swaggered to the door with a lantern in his hand.

"Hmph, who did I think, it turned out to be Xu Er, didn't you also come here in the middle of the night!" Shen Qing sneered.

"Hey, I'm different. We've already ordered the bear bile. I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so I came to pick it up overnight. Here! This is 50 taels of silver. Boy, take care of it. Get the bear bile. Second Master, I have to wait." Go back and report back." Xu Er complacently took out 50 taels of silver and waved it in front of Li Jing.

Li Jingmo waited dawdly for him, and when he saw him coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Butler Xu? It seems that I didn't agree to sell you the bear bile, did I?"

"Boy, you have said before that bear bile is only sold for 50 taels of silver, are you thinking of going back on your word?" Xu Er said angrily.

Hearing what Xu Er said, Li Jing thought to himself that you sell it as soon as you say it. The bear bile is a key thing. I just bought it as I said. It's too cheap for your Xu family!
"I said I would sell it for 50 taels of silver, but I didn't say I had to sell it to you?"

Hearing Li Jing's ridicule, Xu Er was immediately furious: "I think you are impatient, and you don't even ask about the identity of my Xu family. Believe it or not, I won't let you get a big one. "

Seeing Xu Er being arrogant, Shen Qing took a step forward and said: "Xu Er, you are buying and selling by force. I have seen Steward Xu's prestige. But today it will not work. I am afraid that you will not be able to force the bear gall today. This brother Taiwan, I will offer 80 taels of silver, you can sell me the bear bile!"

Hearing Shen Qing raise the price, Li Jing smiled lightly: "Butler Xu, it's no wonder I'm here. Someone offered 80 taels of silver, so I can't push the money away, right?"

Xu Er dared to act arrogant in front of Li Jing, but he really didn't dare in front of Shen Qing. After all, Shen Qing's identity was there, and he, the housekeeper, was just a servant after all.

But Xu Er is not an idiot, Shen Qing raises the price, and he also raises the price: "I will offer 90 taels."

"100 taels!" Shen Qing said calmly.

"120 taels!" Butler Xu shouted.

"150 taels!" Shen Qing continued.

"You..." Butler Xu pointed at Shen Qing with one hand, his face became more and more ugly.

"My surname is Xu, I am bound to get the bear gall today, no matter how much you bid, I will accompany you to the end." Shen Qing sneered.

Shen Qing came prepared this time, and prepared enough money before going out.

But Steward Xu didn't bring so much silver with him when he went out. He didn't know that the Shen family had already learned that there was bear bile here, so he thought that he could buy it for 50 taels of silver.Although I was more careful when I came here, I brought 50 taels more, and my own was only 120 taels of silver.

If you are unprepared versus prepared, you will lose in a mess.

Xu Er rolled his eyes and shouted hastily: "I'll offer 200 taels of silver, but I didn't bring so much silver. I'll send someone to bring it to you later, or you can come back with me to pick it up."

Hearing Xu Er say such idiotic words, Shen Qing immediately burst into laughter: "Hahaha, Xu Er, why do you make people believe that you will send money? Go to Xu's mansion to get money? Does he dare?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Qing took out eight ingots from the bag and handed them to Li Jing: "Brother, since Xu Er paid 200 taels of silver, I can't let you lose money. This is 200 taels of silver. In addition, your bear paw If they are sold, I will take them together, how about 50 taels of silver for each?"

Li Jing smiled and nodded, "Okay, anyway, it's useless for us to keep bear paws, if you want to buy them, we can sell them to you."

Shen Qing was overjoyed, and quickly took out a few more ingots of silver and handed them over.

Seeing that Li Jing couldn't carry it, Shen Qing smiled, put the money back into the bag, and handed the bag to Li Jing.

Li Jing took it with a smile, and felt heavy when he took it.

400 taels of silver is not light, seeing that Shen Qing still has a bag on his body, it is really hard for him to put so much silver on him.

Li Jing took the silver, opened the door with a smile, and let Shen Qing and others enter the courtyard: "Wait a minute, I'll get you the bear bile and bear's paw."

Li Jing moved very quickly, and walked back with bear bile and bear paws in a short while.As for the silver, it was naturally put into the house, he wouldn't take so many odds and ends with him.

Just as he was about to hand over the bear gall to Shen Qing, Xu Er snorted coldly: "Boy, you can think clearly, although this money is a good thing, don't waste your life on it!"

Hearing Xu Er's threat to himself, Li Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Housekeeper Xu, I don't know what happened to your two families. I will sell this bear bile to whoever pays more. What's wrong? You are threatening me now. Doesn't that seem unreasonable?"

After Li Jing finished speaking, he handed the bear bile to Shen Qing.

Seeing that Li Jing was going to hand over bear bile to Shen Qing, Xu Er became anxious!

If Shen Qing took the bear bile into his hands, Xu Er would not dare to blatantly rob the Shen family.

Now that the bear gall is still in Li Jing's hands, Xu Er doesn't have so many scruples about snatching something from a countryman.

Xu Er made a decisive decision and shouted viciously: "Damn, don't be ashamed, you little ones, grab the bear bile!"

Steward Xu shouted, and more than a dozen servants immediately rushed towards Li Jing.

Shen Qing never expected that Butler Xu would actually do the robbery, he was stunned for a moment, and when he wanted to pick up the bear bile, the people from the Xu residence had already rushed up.

Thinking that if the bear bile was robbed, the old father's life would be in danger, Shen Qing suddenly became furious and shouted: "Brothers, hit me! Hit me to death! You must get the bear bile back."

The people from the Shen residence heard this and rushed forward with a shout.

The number of people on both sides is basically the same, but the level of fighting is very different.

Most of the members of the Shen family are law-abiding fellows, while the members of the Xu family are evil slaves who fight with their masters and do nothing wrong. In terms of fighting skills, the members of the Shen family are far behind.

In addition, the Shen family only wanted to buy bear bile, and did not expect to fight with the Xu family at all.

But Xu Er made a plan to grab it if he couldn't buy it, so the servants all brought wooden sticks and waited for the guy.

Fortunately, the people from the Xu family did not target the people from the Shen family. Most of them went to Li Jing. Therefore, although a few people from the Shen family were knocked down, they did not suffer too much harm. .

Seeing the Xu family robbing, Li Jing quickly took a few steps back to make room, he dawdled for a long time without handing over the bear gall to Shen Qing, and what he was waiting for was the Xu family to make a move.

It's just that so many people rushed forward in a swarm, Li Jing thought it would take some time to knock these people down, and besides, he still had bear bile and bear's paw in his hand!

Li Jing took a few steps back, and when he saw a person rushing forward, he stopped suddenly, kicked up and hit the person's lower abdomen with such force that he immediately kicked the person out!

Hanging the bear bile and bear's paw on a branch beside him, Li Jing bent over and picked up the stick that the man discarded, without getting up, he swept forward directly.

Although one of Xu's servants fell down, the people behind were rushing forward and couldn't hold back their feet. Li Jing swung his stick, and several people were hit at the same time, and several people fell down immediately, rolling and howling while hugging their calves.

Li Jing didn't stop, taking advantage of the time when the servants of Xu's mansion were stunned, he rubbed his body, the wooden stick flew up and down, and put down several people in an instant.

Before Li Jing came to ancient times, he was a special elite. People were injured too.

Seeing that Li Jing was so fierce, those who were still standing would dare to charge forward, and those who were pushing and shoving would no longer dare to move forward, no matter how much Steward Xu yelled and scolded him, it would be of no avail.

There was a lot of screams in the yard, and the people in the house suddenly woke up. After a while, Old Man Chen and others rushed out.

Seeing Li Jing standing upright with a wooden stick in his hand, but with six or seven people lying beside him, they knew that someone was robbing without asking.

Among them, Chen Dahu has the most irritable temper, all the money for marrying a wife falls on bear bile, if it is robbed, will this wife still be able to marry?

Chen Dahu roared, picked up the guy beside the door who didn't know whether it was a hoe or a shovel, and rushed up.

As soon as Chen Dahu came up, Old Man Chen and the others didn't hesitate, and they didn't care what was around them, they just fucked up.

Seeing old man Chen and others coming out of the house, Li Jing rushed up with his belongings and hurriedly stopped them.

These people can fight on their own, but the Chen family can't do it. The Chen family's family business is here, and the two tigers were injured. Offending the Xu family is no joke.

Li Jing grabbed Chen Dahu with one hand, and stopped the old man Chen with one hand: "Uncle! Brother Dahu! Don't move, leave everything to me."

Chen Dahu tugged a few times, seeing that he couldn't get rid of Li Jing's obstruction, he jumped up and cursed anxiously: "You bastards, wait until I beat you to death!"

Li Jing pulled Chen Dahu behind him, took a few steps forward, pointed at Xu Er who was behind him with a stick, and said, "My surname is Xu, I didn't want to be your enemy, but you are too deceitful. Rob, is it true that the country people are so easy to bully? Today I will not leave you in trouble, take your men and leave quickly. If you are not convinced, just come to me, my name is Li Jing, and I have nothing to do with these people .”

Li Jing wanted to get rid of his relationship with Old Man Chen's family, but Xu Er didn't think so.

Xu Er sneered and said: "Good boy, dare to fight against the Xu family. When I tell Master Xu, you can't eat it!" You are alone, why are you still lying on the ground? Waiting for someone to stay overnight?"

After hearing Steward Xu's scolding, the family members of the Xu family got up one by one, supported each other, and limped out of the gate of the Chen family.

Seeing Xu Er leading the people away, Li Jing turned around and took the bear bile and paws and handed them to Shen Qing: "Take the things, please go back!"

Shen Qing took the bear bile and handed it behind him, and a servant immediately reached out to take it.

Shen Qing cupped his fists and said: "Brother, although you let the Xu family go today, his family will definitely not let you go. The Xu family has a great career and is backed by the government. It is really easy to take revenge on you, so you It’s better to plan ahead.”

"I'm afraid he's a bird, if I dare to come next time, I'll break their legs!" Chen Dahu shouted at the top of his voice.

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about, the people here are from the yamen, if you dare to make a move, you are rebelling, you will die!" Old man Chen shouted.

Chen Dahu was most afraid of his father, he didn't dare to argue, he ran to the side and muttered, "What's wrong with the people in the yamen? They make trouble for us, can we just let them bully us?"

Old man Chen snorted and gave Duhu a look, but he stopped scolding him.
