During the Tang Dynasty, gold, like silver, was not a circulating currency. Due to the inflow of silver in the Americas, silver has begun to gradually become popular, but gold is still very rare. Even if ordinary people get gold, they must go to a special gold shop to exchange it for money, otherwise it will not be traded. This also caused most people to rarely come into contact with gold in their lives.

Of course, as a nobleman and a famous wealthy man in Chang'an, Li Xiu naturally collected a lot of gold at home, so he just took the gold won by the strong man and found that the gold was something wrong. Then he weighed the gold in his hand and continued: "The weight of this gold is wrong. Such a large gold should be much heavier than this!"

As soon as Li Xiu said that, the middle-aged Hu man's face changed immediately, and he quietly took two steps back. The young and strong man was stunned at first, then he opened his eyes wide open, grabbed a gold ingot with both hands and broke it hard, and the gold was broken into pieces, revealing the black pig iron inside. It turned out that the so-called gold ingot was completely covered with iron except for the surface of the gold layer, which was covered with iron.

"You Hu liars, you dare to use fake gold!" When the young and strong man saw the fake gold in his hand, he roared and strode forward, intending to ask the middle-aged Hu people for an explanation. The people around him were also full of indignation. After all, no one expected that these Hu people were so brave that they used fake gold to fool people from the beginning.

"What do you...what do you want to do?" The middle-aged Hu people seemed very panicked when they saw the matter was exposed. The Hu people who came with him gathered behind him at this time, each of them holding weapons, and seemed to want to resist.

"Hmph, either take out the real gold, or go to see the official with me, you can choose it yourself!" Although the young and strong man was annoyed, he was still not too impulsive at this time, which surprised Li Xiu. He didn't expect that the young man who looked like a reckless warrior could still control his temper at this time?

"I have already said before that if anyone wins, we can take away these ten ingots of gold, but I didn't say that it was full of gold, so the gold has been given to you, so we will only clear the two!" The middle-aged Hu man once again tried to make a fuss about the reason. He originally thought that with the archery skills of the two archers, no one could beat them, so he had no gold at all. In fact, his entire net worth could not make up ten ingots of gold, so he naturally could not lose money, so he could only bear it.

"What a bold thing. Although Taiyuan is not Chang'an, it is also my Tang Dynasty's capital. You dare to do illegal things here. You simply don't take my Tang Dynasty seriously. People come and arrest them for me and give them to officials!" Li Xiu sneered at this time, and then ordered the guards beside him to arrest people. Li Jin next to him also jumped and applauded. After all, he was also one of the victims. Although he did not compete for gold, being deceived always made people feel uncomfortable.

With Li Xiu's order, the guards beside him immediately rushed up to arrest people, but these Hu people were brave enough to resist, but the two sides also had a conflict. It happened that Li Xiu had not brought many guards out this time, and these Hu people were also very fierce and could not take them away for a while.

But at this moment, the young and strong man also took action. He roared angrily, then rushed into the Hu people like a tiger down the mountain. He swung his hands and threw the two Hu people out, and fell to the ground and could never get up again. Whenever he met his Hu people, there would be almost no enemy in one go. He helped the guards to subdue these Hu people.

Seeing the performance of this young and strong man, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little amazed. It turns out that he is very strong. Moreover, judging from the performance of the other party, he should have practiced martial arts since he was a child. In addition, he has such a good physique, he is simply a natural general. If he puts heavy armor on the battlefield, he will be like a human-shaped beast!

Police often only appear after the matter is resolved, and the same is true for the yamen runners who are the ancestors of policemen. After Li Xiu and his friends solved the Hu people, a group of yamen runners rushed over. Li Xiu was too lazy to deal with these local officials and directly asked a guard to deal with it. He himself came to the young and strong man and said, "The hero is really good. I wonder what you call him?"

"Xue Li, whose courtesy name is Rengui, is also a native of Hedong!" The strong man replied immediately.

"It's him!" Li Xiu couldn't help but think in his heart that he had been thinking about Xue Rengui for a long time. However, Xue Rengui was still young at the time, so he didn't bother to search for it. However, he didn't expect to meet the other party in Taiyuan. Speaking of which, Xue Rengui was originally from the Xue family in Hedong, and his hometown was not far from Taiyuan, so it was not surprising to meet him here.

"It turns out to be Zhuangshi Xue. We are destined to meet here. Thanks to Zhuangshi Xue's help, so why not let me be the host and invite Zhuangshi Xue to have a few drinks?" Li Xiu immediately said with a smile. Since he had the destined to meet Xue Rengui here, he naturally would not let the other party go easily.

"This... this incident happened because of me, so I should thank the nobles!" Although Xue Rengui has developed limbs, his mind is not simple. Instead, he is far smarter than ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have become the most important general after Zhenguan. So he remained calm at this time and was not fooled by Li Xiu's words.

"Haha, no matter where this incident starts, we are indeed destined to be, so Mr. Xue should not refuse!" Li Xiu laughed again when he heard this. If you want to make friends with others, the best place is naturally at the dining table.

Seeing that the noble man in front of him had to treat him to dinner no matter what, Xue Rengui couldn't help but feel a little moved because he had never even had a sip of water from last night to now, and his appetite was much larger than that of ordinary people. At this time, he had a long time to feel hungry. Now he had free meals, which made him really reluctant to refuse.

"Okay, then thank you for your noble person. I don't know what you call him?" Xue Rengui hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. In fact, he is also a very generous person. If he wasn't short of money, he would probably take the initiative to invite Li Xiu and his son to dinner.
