Chapter 257 Golden Arhat smashes the pawnshop
Monk Wenjue left, and Wu Sidao walked from the edge of the bed to the table again and sat down. He reached out to clean the chessboard, then picked up another chess piece and put it on, and then another... In just a while, the entire chessboard was filled with black and white again! Monk Wenjue didn't see it, but if he was here, he would definitely see that Wu Sidao put out the chess game just now again.
...
When Wu Sidao was young, he had a life of Zhou Zheng, and there was no need to mention his knowledge. That year, when he was in the Jiangnan tribute examination, Wu Sidao bid farewell to his hometown in Wuxi and went to Nanjing to take the scientific examination. However, that year, he went from a young and promising talent to a fugitive. Originally, after the exam, Wu Sidao felt that his writing was full of flowers and he would definitely be able to go to high school. But he did not expect that the examiner accepted bribes, and he received a lot of money and special rewards. Almost all the things he should have won were not, and the high school rankings were topped. The scholars stopped doing this, and Wu Sidao was even more angry.
As a result, the Jiangnan Medical Site corruption case that shocked the whole country occurred. The students gathered in Nanjing did not carry Confucius, but instead carried the God of Wealth, and rushed into the tribute court. Moreover, they caught the examiner and were easy to beat. This was a shocking case. After Kangxi heard about it, he was very angry. Of course, the examiner was to blame, but Wu Sidao and others who took the lead in causing trouble were also wanted. Wu Sidao had to escape and wander around. Unfortunately, his legs were broken by the bandits who robbed him. Because he could not be treated in time, he became a cripple who could only rely on a kidnapper.
However, his experience was not over yet. He was penniless and had his legs broken again. He was bumpy and miserable all the way. He finally moved to Beijing, hoping to defect to his uncle Jin Yuze, who was an official in Beijing. At that time, Jin Yuze had become the head of the Ministry of War's Armory, and his daughter Jin Fenggu had been engaged to him. However, what he did not expect was that when he arrived in Beijing, his aunt was no longer there, and Jin Yuze had already betrothed his daughter to Fengen, the guerrilla party of Ruijian Camp. After seeing him,
He didn't like him, a lame man, so he drove him away. However, he was driven away by driving him away. Wu Sidao did not expect that his uncle was so cruel and sent someone to arrest him in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the kind-hearted person who reported the news, he would have been in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. However, even so, he still couldn't escape. How far could he escape with a limp? Finally, he ran to the gate of Dajue Temple not far from Jin'an and couldn't run away. Then, because he was tired, afraid and angry, he fainted.
When he woke up again, there was no pursuer, and only one monk was left watching by his side. Later, he realized that this monk was the abbot of Dajue Temple, Xingyin.
Afterwards, he got along with the monk. At first, Monk Xingyin thought he was just a frustrated scholar and did not value him much. But after staying for a while, he found that he was not an ordinary person. So he doubled down and came closer.
Since this monk Xingyin was the abbot of Dajue Temple, he was naturally proficient in Buddhist principles, and was proficient in accidents, he could talk to him. Later, the monk Xingyin introduced Wen Jue to him, both of whom were proficient in Buddhist principles. However, Wu Sidao did not expect that these two monks actually had extraordinary friendship with the Emperor Four Beile. His talent and knowledge were attracted to him. After half a year, he was introduced to the Four Beile's curtain. From then on, it was probably difficult to get out of here.
...
"Oh..." After the game was played, Wu Sidao stared at the chessboard with a black piece and stared at the chessboard for a while, but finally sighed and messed up the chessboard again.
**********
Linfen, Shanxi.
It was time to go to the market, so there were a lot of people on the streets of the county town, and it was very crowded.
An ordinary two-wheeled carriage was slowly moving along the street along the crowd under the protection of several knights. Except for the fact that the knights who seemed very tough were a little eye-catching, there was nothing else that attracted the whole team.
Mo Jing was sitting in this carriage.
Although the use of four-wheeled carriages has long since been blown from outside the pass to inside the pass, that kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can use. So, this time she just chose such an inconspicuous two-wheeled carriage.
This time she came alone, and was idle. She looked at the people coming and going on Linfen Street through the curtains, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
She always thought that she was a strong woman who could be completely "independent" and even had the idea of being single. However, since she received the news of Luo Xin's pregnancy, she still couldn't help but feel a little lost while being happy for her good sisters!... So, she had made up her mind that after this meeting, she would never give Yu Zhonghao fruit, and she must make this guy pay a huge price for her previous behavior.
...
"Give it, let it..."
Just thinking about whether I would just stay in Anhui for a year and a half, and had been with Luo Xin to give birth to the child, someone suddenly shouted at the back of the convoy. Then, Mo Jing saw a man carrying a large cloth package and rushing forward from the crowd through the window.
"Hey, isn't this the manager of the Kang family's money shop?"
Kang Hujiang! The shopkeeper of the Kang Family Money House counter. Mo Jing made this guy very troubled when he came last time.
"Rising Sun!" After thinking for a while, Mo Jing shouted out the window.
"Prince!" Xu Rigan heard Mo Jing call him, slapped his horse and walked to the car window, bent down and responded.
"Did you see the person carrying things?" Mo Jing asked.
"See it! The package seems to be very heavy. I saw a golden light flashing inside just now!" Xu Rigan said.
"Golden Guang? Haha, after following Ma De for so long, you are a little bit of an investigation into the case!..." Mo Jing teased Xu Rigan and continued, "Follow up and see what's wrong with that person. If nothing happens, bring him to see me!"
"Yes!" Xu Rigan responded, turned over from his horse, then handed the reins to others, and squeezed into the crowd and followed Kang Zhujiang.
...
"Damn, I'm so tired. Why am I so stupid that I'm actually asking for trouble to take such an errand?"
Kang Hujiang didn't know that someone was looking for him. He was walking now, thinking about things with a bitter face... The package on his shoulder was really heavy.
"Give it, let it..."
He shouted all the way, and finally, Kang Hujiang carried the package to the front of a pawnshop.
"Hehe, Fengyuan pawnshop! Finally he arrived!" Kang Hujiang stood at the door of the pawnshop with his package. He didn't put the package down, but just stood up to tidy up his clothes. Then, he took a few deep breaths, calmed his breath, and then straightened his back, raised his head, and walked towards the pawnshop.
"Oh, this guest..." A pawnshop's friend saw someone coming in and wanted to meet him, but after seeing Kang Hujiang's face clearly, he stopped and was froze there.
"Is the shopkeeper here?"
Kang Hujiang didn't care about this guy and shouted loudly at the pawnshop counter.
"Shopkeeper Kang Da? You... are you here again?"
After hearing the sound, a head stretched out from the pawnshop's counter, which was taller than the man. However, after seeing Kang Hujiang standing in front of the counter, the man's smile immediately disappeared, and there was a trace of trembling in his voice.
"Nonsense, what does it mean to 'come again'? The pawn door opens and gathers wealth from all directions! Could it be that Master Huo, can't I come to you?" Kang Huo Jiangzhi carried the package arrogantly. The more arrogant he was, the more arrogant he was.
"Shopkeeper Kang Da, you..." The person standing on the counter had a bitter face and was about to say something soft to Kang Hujiang when another person walked in outside the door.
"This guest official wants to be a thing?" The guest came, and the man knew that he had a good identity when he saw his clothes. He was not the kind of poor person who could not live, so the guy stood up and greeted him.
"Improper!" The man ignored the attentiveness of the guy and said bluntly.
"This guest official, since you don't act as a thing, why are you going to our pawn shop?" The guy said unhappily when he heard the person coming. Today was not smooth enough. Before he opened, he met the impermanent ghost Kang Hujiang. Unexpectedly, he followed him and was not a thing. Isn't this just adding bad luck to the pawn shop?
"I'll come to find him!" The visitor said with a finger at Kang Bojiang. This man was Xu Rigan. Although he chased after him with Mo Jing's order, Kang Bojiang was very "slippery" and threw him away in a few seconds. If he hadn't been staring at him from afar, he would have really let the kid "run".
"Look for me?" Kang Hujiang held the package on his shoulder with one hand, and could only point to him with another free finger, and looked at Xu Rigan in surprise. I wonder why someone he didn't know suddenly came to find him. Although he was the boss of the Kang Family Money House, he had never left Linfen County in his life. How could he know any strangers?
"That's right. I'll look for you!" Xu Rigan nodded.
"Since I'm here to find the shopkeeper Kang Da, I won't leave the shopkeeper. Guy, send the shopkeeper Kang Da Da!" Before Kang Hujiang could react, the shopkeeper shouted loudly at the shopkeeper. His appearance and appearance were so urgent that it was like Kang Hujiang was the reincarnation of the plague god, and he was sending the plague god in this way!
"Stop coming! You kid want to drive Mr. Hu away?... Humph, there are no so many cheap things in this world? Let's do the main business first!" Kang Hujiang heard the pawnshop's shouting, and Lima also shouted. He no longer cared about what Xu Rigan did. He turned around and walked to the counter, lifted the things he had been carrying on his shoulders to the counter and put them on it!
"Shopkeeper Kang Da, you, you're a villain's job!" The pawnshop manager looked at the package on the counter and did not take it. He just said to Kang Hujiang with a bitter face.
"It's okay. Since you have the ability to see things, are you afraid you won't be able to find your boss?... Come on, don't waste your time! I've put the things here, so you'd better bring the money first!" Kang Hujiang reached into the counter and said impatiently.
"...Oh!" Seeing that Kang Hujiang had no intention of being able to be harmonious, the pawnshop owner sighed helplessly, took the package, and without looking at it, he brought it over and handed it over to a friend behind him, and then took out a ticket and filled it out:
"A golden arhat weighs three hundred taels, and a mortgage of three thousand taels of silver!..."
"A golden arhat of 300 taels is probably worth about 4,000 taels of silver, just by calculating the price of gold, which is a big profit! Why are you a shopkeeper unwilling to be a shopkeeper?" Xu Rigan was a little surprised when he heard the pawnshop's "singing tickets" next to him, and couldn't help but ask the welcome guy outside.
"Making is profit! But this shopkeeper Kang brought one in a day, and it has been three months in a row. Our pawnshop is almost out of stock! If this continues, it will probably be closed!... Alas, our boss has opened a wrong place to open a pawnshop. The pawnshops in Linfen are all from the Kang family! He ran to the ground of the Kang family and opened a store to grab money. Isn't this avenge?" The guy smiled bitterly when he heard Xu Ri's question, shook his head and sighed.
"For three months?" Xu Rigan followed Made. Although Luo Xin had seen a big scene for so many years, he was shocked to the point of not being able to close his mouth. Three months, a golden arhat, a day of 300 taels, was given to him for ninety days... I'm afraid even the current emperor would not be so generous!
"Then why don't you use these golden arhats to mortgage them in the money house? Then there will be money for turnover?" Xu Rigan thought about it and asked again.
"Mortgage? This guest official has rules for pawn shops. You cannot sell the things that customers have lost before the time to be booked. What's more, in Shanxi, with the name of the Kang family, which money house dares to let us mortgage it?" The guy looked at Xuri like an idiot, and said with a wry smile.
"No wonder the master princess came to visit in person. The Kang family's financial resources are indeed extraordinary!..." Xu Rigan didn't say anything anymore, but just said in his heart.
"Yes. Not bad, not bad... both money and goods are clear!" Xu Rigan was thinking there, and Kang Hujiang also took three big tickets of one thousand taels from the reluctant pawn shopkeeper, counted them casually and stuffed them into his sleeves.
"Shopkeeper Kang Da, how many golden arhats do you have? Do you report to the young one for a few lines first?" The shopkeeper of the pawnshop asked with a smug look when he saw Kang Hujiang's face, and then said with a bitter look.
"Report the number? Oh, I can't report it either. I'm just a junior in our Kang family, and I can only do odd jobs outside. I really don't know how many golden arhats are in the Kang family fort. However, the old man sent someone to my money house to me for a year, so you can rest assured as the shopkeeper!...You have some money!" Kang Hujiang said with a smile.
"One...a year?" The exclamation not only came from the pawnshop's shopkeeper, but even Xu Rigan almost shouted out.
"Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, three hundred taels of gold a day..." After the waiter exclaimed, he immediately turned his fingers next to him and calculated.
"Yes. What's wrong? Don't worry, if your boss can hold on and not move in a year, the old man will definitely have to let me give it to you for another year, so you can make a fortune! Don't worry!" Kang Hujiang said this and did not forget to straighten his chest, which was quite a bit "passionate and passionate".... Is this the legendary "killing people with money"? Even if it is not, it's probably not much, right? He couldn't help thinking proudly.
"Shopkeeper Kang, is your business done? If it's over, my master will invite you!" Xu Rigan saw Kang Yaojiang Bi's appearance, and shook his head secretly, and said, "After walking forward, he said.
"Your master? I don't know which distinguished guest you are?" Kang Hujiang looked at Xu Rigan and was sure that he had never seen this person, so he naturally could not think of who was going to see him.
"My master's surname is Mo, and he comes from outside the pass!" Xu Rigan did not hide it and replied casually.
"From outside the pass, the surname Mo..." After Kang Hujiang heard this, his originally proud expression instantly subsided, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes when he looked at Xu Rigan.
"Let's go! My master is still waiting!" Xu Rigan did not force Kang Hujiang to walk to the pawnshop door and made a "please" gesture towards Kang Hujiang.
"This... Master, do you think I'll go back to the fort and invite our third master to welcome your master?" Kang Hujiang followed Xu Rigan's gesture toward the pawnshop door, but his attitude was not as arrogant as he came in just now. The waiter next to him also heard his words. No matter how he heard it, he could only see four words from Kang Hujiang's attitude, that is, "hum and humble."
"It's amazing! There is actually a shopkeeper Kang Da, who should be careful to serve him!" The guy had never seen any world before. Seeing Kang Hujiang nodding and carefully accompanying Xu Rigan away, he secretly praised in his heart. In his heart, being able to get to Kang Hujiang's position is that God is open to the eyes. Don't you see, this shopkeeper Kang Da Da was almost slapping their pawn shop with the Golden Arhat?
"Oh!" The guy sighed when he thought of this, and looked up at the counter and asked, "Shopkeeper, are you still open the door?"
"Open the door? What other door is open? The cabinet is now gone!...It's better to close it!" The pawnshop shopkeeper walked down the counter with his face and his head down.
Chapter completed!
