Chapter 31: Release.
I didn't expect this Zhang Shun to have such an opportunity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he was young, he saved a mouse, but after more than ten years, he was relieved by this mouse, and he took the money given to him by the mouse to marry a wife and buy a house.
As for why the rats he saved when he was young were gray and now become white rats, it is actually easy to explain.
This rat has become a Taoist and a spirit, and naturally its fur will turn white.
There is a saying that the scales and armor turn yellow and the fur turns white, which are all signs of sperm.
However, this rat can become a fine in just a dozen years, and there is a certain amount of Taoism, obviously this mouse has had some opportunities during this time, otherwise it would not be possible to become a fine so quickly.
Now, here, everything is falling out.
The white rat repaid the favor and stole the silver from the Li family to Zhang Shun, and Zhang Shun didn't seem to know that the silver was stolen from the Li family's treasury, and the Qinglou woman named Yanhua was a little smart, knowing that the silver taken by the mouse might be stolen, and she didn't want it for fear of causing trouble, but in the end she still couldn't overcome the greed in her heart, and enjoyed the silver taels with Zhang Shun with peace of mind.
"Zhang Shun, where is the rest of the silver stolen by the white mouse, hand it over. Li Xiuyuan said.
Zhang Shun shook everything out at this moment, did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly took the family to look for silver in the house, some of the silver was hidden on the beams of the house, some of the silver was buried in the ground, and some of the silver was sunk in the well.
This person is not very good, and he is very good at hiding money.
In the end, after the large and small silver taels were gathered, there were two or three thousand taels of silver.
"That's all?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"That's all there is to it, and the rest is used up by the small ones. Zhang Shun said tremblingly.
"You have used up a full five or six thousand taels of silver during this time?" Li Xiuyuan asked with squinted eyes.
Zhang Shun knelt on the ground again in fright: "The eldest young master was wronged, the small one only used up more than 1,000 taels, and did not use 5,000 taels, and the small one got a total of 5,000 taels of silver. ”
Li Xiuyuan glanced at him seriously and felt that he should not be lying.
The silver that was hidden so deeply was taken out, and it was impossible for him to dare to hide the whole five thousand taels of silver.
However, the Li family's treasury was lost as much as 10,000 taels.
In other words, there are still five thousand taels of silver that do not match the number.
After pondering for a while, he felt that there might be something strange about this matter.
But there was nothing left to ask about this Zhang Shun, he had already told everything he knew, and all the remaining silver had been taken out.
"Zhang Shun, seeing that you are still honest, I can spare you this time, and the rest of the silver will be returned to the original owner today, but the 1,000 taels of silver you used up cannot be ignored. ”
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said: "That's it, the two of you go to my Li family's workshop to work for ten years, and the monthly income will be halved, and after ten years, you and I will be cleared, how about it?"
"Thank you for the kindness of the eldest young master, thank you for the kindness of the eldest young master, the little one is willing to work and compensate. Zhang Shunru was pardoned and kowtowed.
Yanhua, the woman in the Qinglou next to her, looked like she wanted to cry without tears, she was willing to follow him when she saw that Zhang Shun was rich, but she didn't enjoy the blessing for a few days, and this disaster was going to follow him for a lifetime.
Li Xiuyuan didn't care whether the woman agreed or not.
This woman was bought by Zhang Shun, and as long as Zhang Shun agreed, she had no room to resist.
Besides, this Qinglou woman has a lot of thoughts, and letting her work is also cleaning up her thoughts, if the two of them are willing to work honestly for ten years, they will be able to live in peace in the future, which is much better than starving here without money.
"Leave them ten taels of silver for their rations, and take the rest. Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
The family answered, packed the silver and the title deed of a mansion on his back, and then took off a dozen taels of silver and threw them in front of the two.
Ten taels of silver, if you save a little, it will be enough to eat for several months.
Soon, Li Xiuyuan left here with his family and a few thousand taels of silver.
When he just went out, a black shadow suddenly jumped down from the courtyard wall next to him.
"Young master, it's a black cat, it's back, hey, young master, look, this black cat has caught a mouse. Fluttershy says happily.
But when the black cat turned its head, it found that it was holding a white mouse in its mouth, and the white mouse was not dead, but had a pair of round eyes, and there were faint tears flowing out, as if crying.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at it and immediately recognized it, this was the white mouse.
Sure enough, the white rat lived in Zhang Shun's house.
"You rat also has today, you know it's awesome. Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
The cat is the natural enemy of the mouse, even if there is a Taoist white mouse, it can't fight this black cat, not to mention that this is not an ordinary black cat, it is also a spirit that has opened its wisdom and has a Taoist spirit.
The white mouse nodded again and again, and begged for mercy at Li Xiuyuan, his eyes were tearful and pitiful.
The black cat looked at Li Xiuyuan, waiting for him to speak.
It seems that as long as Li Xiuyuan nods, the black cat will eat the white mouse, not even leaving a single hair.
"Don't eat it, it also came to my Li family to invest money in order to repay its kindness, and it's not easy for it to cultivate, let it go." Li Xiuyuan saw that this white rat was so spiritual, so he didn't want to kill it.
If he is not a demon of great evil, then he will not kill them all.
"Meow~!"
The black cat let go, and the white mouse immediately got out of the trap and ran away.
After running away, he stopped and looked back at Li Xiuyuan, as if he was thanking.
"Don't steal in the future, the cause and effect are too heavy, and you won't be able to transform in the future. Li Xiuyuan said.
The white rat seemed to understand, nodded again and again, and ran away without heading.
"Young master, why is the cause and effect of stealing things too heavy. Fluttershy asks curiously.
Li Xiuyuan smiled: "You will know later." ”
This cause and effect is the cause and effect of cultivation, and the white rat is not deep in the Tao, so it naturally does not know how powerful it is, and after hundreds of years of Taoism, it will know that it steals other people's money and pays it back, although it returns the favor, but it is also easy to lose its own life.
Otherwise, why do those fox spirits repay their kindness instead of money, but repay each other with their bodies?
Because reciprocating with one's body is the most simple and direct, and there is no need to involve other causes and effects.
Besides, life is in a hurry for decades, but demons can live for thousands of years, or even thousands of years, so it is not a loss to spend a few decades to resolve a period of cause and effect.
Not to mention anything else, just like Bai Suzhen in the legend of the White Snake.
is about to become an immortal, but he still owes Xu Xian a cause and effect, there is no way, only to incarnate as a human and repay each other with his body.
It's a pity that in the end, he was moved by his true feelings and was accepted by Fahai.
"But then again, where did the remaining five thousand taels of silver go?" Li Xiuyuan retracted his distracting thoughts, but his brows frowned slightly, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
All the money stolen by the white rat is in Zhang Shun's hands, and the money in Zhang Shun's hands is five thousand taels, which means that five thousand taels are missing.
"It's a real headache, and the world is really uneasy. ”
Li Xiuyuan thought about it for a while, but he really had no clue, so he could only give up for the time being.
It's nothing to lose 10,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid that if this matter is not resolved, if it continues to happen, no matter how rich the Li family is, it will be emptied.
