Chapter 22: Ripping Off
"Thank you for the compliment." Li Hao smiled and arched his hand, and he looked very cheap.
Shen Song was so angry that he paced back and forth, and in the end he knew that there was no other way to think of it, so he could only hold back his anger and say, "Okay! I'll give you a thousand! ”
"Lord Shen's generosity, righteousness and poverty alleviation, chivalrous and courageous, respectable and admirable, a piece of Dan heart, can be ...... through the ages" Li Haokeng reached a thousand times, and he was in a good mood, and felt that he needed to praise the other party, so that the other party could still maintain a happy mood after losing a thousand times.
However, Shen Song obviously didn't think his praise was good, but felt that it was a ridicule of himself, with a dark face, he waved his hand and said, "Enough, you get out of here quickly!" "That disgusted look was like seeing a piece of stinky shit.
Li Hao stretched out his hand and blinked quickly: "Where's the money?" ”
Shen Song almost fainted out of anger, stretched out a trembling finger and pointed at Li Hao: "You...... You bastard, you are simply reaching out in a coffin, and you want money to die! The old man, as the dignified governor of Jingzhao Mansion, is he still unable to repay his debts! ”
Li Hao blinked: "One word is the emperor's Chrysostom, Lord Shen, you are cautious." ”
Shen Song was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was a demon, who could make people angry to death, and he had been in the officialdom for decades, but today he was falling behind in words everywhere, and he had no choice but to let the cell boss take a pen and paper, and wrote a thousand IOUs to Li Hao on the spot.
After Li Hao got the IOU, he happily folded it into a boxy piece of paper, stuffed it into his arms, and then happily lay back on the straw.
Shen Song was stunned when he saw this, and ran over and asked angrily: "Boy, the old man has already made an IOU, why don't you leave?" ”
"Let's go?" Li Hao said innocently, "Although you have made an IOU of 1,000 guan, Lord Fang Qiaofang still owes me an IOU, you ask him to give me an IOU of 1,000 guan, and I will slap my ass and leave immediately." ”
Shen Song only felt dizzy, dizzy, and shaky when he heard this, but fortunately, the cell head and the jailers were quick to hold him up, so that he didn't fall, otherwise it was estimated that he would fall into a stroke, and knock on Fang Xuanling's head.
"You...... You...... What a bastard! Shen Song angrily pointed at Li Hao and scolded, eager to strangle him to death in prison.
"Thank you, Lord 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.
In the face of Shen Song's scolding, Li Hao was complacent, keeping a smiling face, as if he was watching a clown performance, Shen Song finally got tired of scolding, stopped panting, calmed his thoughts, and snorted coldly: "Boy, don't be delusional, hurry up, Lord Fang will never give you money." ”
Li Hao smiled slightly and said, "Lord Shen, you are wrong, Lord Fang will definitely give me money." ”
Shen Song's eyes narrowed: "Are you so sure?" ”
Li Hao said seriously: "Naturally, you are sure, you just need to tell him, I want a thousand yuan, make an IOU today, and send someone to send money to my house another day, today's incident, I have not happened." ”
"Okay." Shen Song gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "You wait!" ”
After speaking, he shook his sleeves and left angrily, he had nothing to do about Li Hao's hob meat, he had no choice but to consult Fang Xuanling, he secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that Fang Xuanling would be furious after listening to Li Hao's request, and then put Li Hao to death in prison, he believed that with Fang Xuanling's status, even if Li Hao was killed, the emperor would know about it, and 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 secretly went through the matter in his heart just now, and he can guess that after he went back, he must have told his father that the jade pendant was stolen, and Fang Xuanling believed it, so he made this oolong, and he would be caught in Jingzhao's cell, and when Fang Xuanling knew the truth of the matter, there were only two choices, the first was to lose money and settle the matter, and the second was to kill himself directly, anyway, Li Shimin couldn't let Li Shimin know about it, otherwise Fang Xuanling's love would be over.
Li Hao has been familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty and knows that Fang Xuanling is a righteous person, although he is a little selfish, but he is selfless and dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that he has a good character, in order to eliminate the disaster, he will definitely choose to break the fortune, but Fang Xuanling is an honest official, and there is not much income in the family, and he is estimated to be unaffordable, so he is ready to be bargained.
Shen Song personally went to Fang Xuanling's house and told Fang Xuanling about the matter, Fang Xuanling was shocked after hearing this, and hurriedly called Fang Xuanling, and asked him to honestly explain how the jade pendant was lost.
Fang Yiai was too timid, and when he heard these words, he fell to his knees in fright, explained the matter one by one, and recited the song "The Wind Enters the Song" word for word to Fang Xuanling.
After listening to "The Wind Enters the Song", Fang Xuanling frowned and sighed after a while: "This is indeed a good poem, but it's a pity ......"
Shen Song on the side asked puzzledly, "What's a pity?" ”
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that the kid who recites poetry has great talent, but lacks virtue, and actually sells poetry to make money, as Huang An said, he is indeed a bastard." ”
"That's right, he's a bastard!" Shen Song echoed indignantly, obviously still angry with Li Hao.
Fang Xuanling called the housekeeper again and asked him to withdraw 500 yuan from the account room and send it directly to Li Hao's house, and by the way, inform Li Hao's housekeeper to go to the prison to pick up people.
This result made Shen Song very unhappy, but Fang Xuanling chose to compromise, and he had no choice but to go back, but he didn't go to see Li Hao in prison, because he didn't want to see Li Hao's despicable face anymore, it was insulting.
Early the next morning, the housekeeper Du Hong came to the prison of Jingzhao Mansion to pick up Li Hao from prison, Li Hao heard that Fang Xuanling's five hundred yuan had been delivered to his home, raised his eyebrows, smiled and muttered: "Fang Xuanling really bargained, hiss, this price is a bit excessive, it is actually folded in half, it's enough, anyway, the start-up capital is enough, well, now I want to go to Lord Shen to ask for money." ”
After he finished speaking, he walked out of the cell and went directly to Shen Song to ask for money, Shen Song still saw Li Hao's hateful face, in order not to make Li Hao disgusted himself, he gave Li Hao two hundred silver coins without hesitation, each silver gold is five taels, exactly one thousand taels, worth one thousand yuan.
Li Hao saw that the silver was broken, the silver of the Tang Dynasty was scarce, one or two silver can definitely be worth the money, for Li Hao, the traverser, it is too inconvenient to bring a lot of copper coins to the street at every turn, silver is the best choice, but unfortunately, the Tang Dynasty did not have silver ingots, only silver ingots, silver ingots are the previous life of silver ingots, flattened, made into the shape of a boat, from the side look very similar to the later silver ingots.
Li Hao rented a carriage for towing goods, which was piled with silver, and then swaggered home with Du Hong, he didn't get anything to cover the silver in this car, so exposed to everyone's sight, he did it on purpose, he just wanted to pretend to be a local tyrant, which made people envious, it turned out that the effect was good, and along the way, everyone would stare at his carriage with complicated eyes.
There are two more big boxes in Li Hao's room, full of money, and if you calculate it yourself, it adds up to two thousand three hundred.
With so much money in the room, he didn't feel very safe, so he asked Du Hong, is there a cellar at home, I didn't expect it to be there, think about it, such a big house, how can there be no cellar, Li Hao went to the cellar to check, and found that the space is quite large, but there are too many sundries, he asked people to tidy up a little, and then moved down the boxes of eight hundred and one thousand taels, and locked them with locks, as for the remaining five hundred, he left two hundred yuan to spend, and the remaining three hundred yuan was ready to go to the county government to buy land, although his own house occupied enough area, But he is not enough, the scale of the chicken farm must be enlarged, in the future he will build a lot of workshops, will definitely use a lot of land, anyway, his house is surrounded by empty land, these vacant land can neither farm, no one dares to build a house here, it is better to buy it, keep it for his own use.
The price of fertile land in Datang is 30 to 40 acres, and the vacant land around Li Hao's house is obviously not fertile land, the price is naturally much cheaper, and the price in his heart is set at 20 yuan, although the land transaction is not so easy, but he is a celebrity, and he has made great contributions, so it should not be difficult to buy land.
That night, Li Hao entered his dream with a beautiful plan, however, early the next morning, Li Hao was woken up by a crazy slamming of the door.
Li Hao was furious, he had been living here for a few months, and it was the first time that someone had knocked on the door so arrogantly, he was the owner of this family, and the most important thing was ...... He had a heavy wake-up gas.
He lifted the quilt and got out of bed angrily, went over to open the door, and saw Du Hong standing at the door in a panic, not giving Du Hong a chance to speak, Li Hao directly scolded with his head and face: "Du Hong, you don't want to be a housekeeper, don't you, have I explained, don't you want to wake me up until lunch time!" ”
"Young Master!" Du Hong's expression was as if his mother had died, "Our family...... Thief! ”
"What!" Li Hao was suddenly shocked, glared and asked urgently, "What was stolen?" ”
"Earth...... Cellar! ”
Li Hao suddenly felt that the sky was falling, and he didn't have time to get dressed and put on his shoes, so he ran to the cellar like his butt was on fire, and sure enough, he found that the iron lock of the cellar had been opened, and when he went down, it was empty, and the two lovely wooden boxes disappeared without a trace.
"It's over, it's over." Li Hao sat on the ground with his buttocks, as if he had lost his soul, and muttered blankly in his eyes, "I finally got some money, but it was stolen, and it......'s over."
At this time, Du Hong clumsily followed down the cellar, and said with a sad face: "Young master, let's report to the official." ”
"Reporter?" Li Hao turned his head to look at him, "Is it useful to report to the official?" Influenced by his previous life, Li Hao was seriously skeptical about the government's ability to catch thieves.
"That's better than nothing."
"Okay, report to the officer!" 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 the room to see if the five hundred guan in my room are still there." ”
"Ah, good!" After Du Hong finished speaking, he walked away.
