Chapter 26: The middleman earns the difference

The so-called elders of the Li family that Wang Cheng mentioned were naturally Li Changxin who fabricated this adultery incident.

The short and strong man from the Li family was originally from Li Changxin's room, so he came forward to mediate. The reason was completely reasonable. The young man and squire who were caught would not doubt anything.

Later, under the threat of Li Changxin, he saw Wang Cheng, who represented the imperial government, remained indifferent and ignored his pleas and bribes.

This young squire who had just inherited most of his property from his dead father, no matter how reluctant he was, could only sell his property at a very low price to get forgiveness from the victim.

After obtaining the land deed from the young squire and driving the person out of Lijiaping Town, Li Changxin smiled and bowed to Wang Chengyi, who was expressionless throughout the whole process, and said, "This time, I am really hard. I have some money for tea and water here. Please don't accept it."

What kind of tea money is clearly a closure fee!

Wang Cheng sneered in his heart, but he was not polite to him. He immediately took the purse and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wang is just completing the master's explanation, so the old Li clan doesn't need to thank you."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Li Changxin to say anything, so he bowed to him and said, "It's dark, and Wang still has official duties tomorrow, so he'll leave first."

Seeing this, Li Changxin's face suddenly became gloomy.

In Lijiaping Town, except for the head of the Li family and several other people in the conversation, no one dared to act like this in front of him.

Even Li Yuan, who is in charge of the daily affairs of the temporary inspection center, has to respectfully respect the younger generation when he sees him. How dare he give him a look like Wang Cheng?

He looked at Wang Cheng's left back with a gloomy face for a while, and couldn't help but whisper to himself: "It seems that next time I see Li Tong, I have to talk to him. Don't just recruit apprentices. This kind of disobedient thorn will only be a disaster if you want to take action!"

It’s not that Wang Cheng didn’t know that he offended Li Changxin, which might lead to his lowering of his impression score from his master Li Tong.

But he knew even more that if he gave Li Changxin a good look and showed a willing attitude of joining the crowd, then this kind of thing would definitely happen again in the future.

He doesn't want to be a knife in someone's hand, and he is used by someone to harm others at will.

Furthermore, if Li Tong hates him because of this, it only means that this person is talented but not virtuous and is not worthy of being a teacher at all. He will break off the relationship between master and apprentice with him more decisively.

When Wang Cheng returned to his residence, he opened the purse given by Li Changxin and looked at it. His disgust towards this person suddenly became stronger.

Because the money contained in it was only five silver coins and fifty copper coins!

You should know that he made at least six or seven hundred silver coins for Li Changxin today!

The conversion ratio between silver and copper coins in the Tang Dynasty was extremely large, and the official exchange price was to exchange one silver coins for 1,500 copper coins.

So those fifty copper coins were put in pure form to set off the weight of the wallet.

He put away the coins in a boring manner, and Wang Cheng practiced boxing in the yard with bare hands for an hour before going to bed in the fatigue.

A few days later, Wang Cheng finally learned from the street patrol yamen runners that Wei Bin came to Lijiaping Town to purchase.

After he received the news, he hurried to the restaurant where Wei Bin was drinking to meet him, then found an opportunity to pull Wei Bin aside and whispered: "Brother Wei, I have something I want to ask Brother Wei for advice, but I don't know whether to say it?"

"Brother Wang, tell me."

Wei Bin glanced at him, nodded slightly and responded.

"That's right. The last time I changed from Brother Wei to the Zhuxie Talisman, because I was happy for a moment and couldn't help but let me tell you the master. My master wanted to ask Brother Wei to ask Brother Wei if I could buy the Zhuxie Talisman from Brother Wei with silver money?"

Wang Cheng's face turned slightly red, and he lowered his head as if he was embarrassed.

He was really embarrassed at this moment, because his reason was purely made up by himself, in order not to make Wei Bin doubt his intention to buy the evil talisman.

"Hey, I thought it was something big, it turned out to be this!"

Wei Bin smiled aloud and looked at Wang Cheng with some amusement and said, "Brother Wang, don't blame yourself. This is not a big deal. Although the Taoist temple strictly prohibits those who practice Taoism from selling magic talismans to those who are not practicing Taoism, the magic talisman, which is only aimed at ghosts, is not within the banned sale."

After saying that, he paused slightly, then looked at Wang Cheng and continued, "But only those who practice Taoism can make Dharma talismans, and it is quite difficult to make, so the price is not affordable for ordinary people."

Wang Cheng immediately looked up and replied, "My master has opened a martial arts school in the county town. He should be short of money. Brother Wei, please tell me the price. No matter how much or how much, I just need to have an explanation to the master."

"Since it's Brother Wang, you're your own master, you're considered your own person. This way, twenty-five silver coins per evil talisman, Wei can provide him at most ten. If he agrees, Brother Wang, you will bring the money to me in the morning three days later. At that time, I happened to be taking someone to patrol."

Wei Bin pondered for a moment, then told Wang Cheng his offer and explained the transaction time and place of the transaction.

This price is really not cheap!

Wang Cheng sighed in his heart. Based on this price, he could not buy two evil-killing talismans at all.

But he still looked relieved and nodded repeatedly, "I understand. Brother Wei has helped me a lot, and I am grateful. I will definitely be rewarded in the future."

"Haha, they are all their own brothers. Why do they say this? Come and go over and drink together."

Wei Bin smiled heartily, immediately grabbed Wang Cheng and sat down, introduced Wang Cheng's identity to other colleagues, and started drinking and eating meat together.

Of course, Wang Cheng would not refuse this opportunity to get to know other soldiers of the Demon Suppression Division, even though his alcohol tolerance was not very good.

After such a meal, Wang Cheng, who was drunk, reluctantly walked back to his residence and fell asleep, and he slept for most of the day.

Early the next morning, Wang Cheng asked Li Yuan for leave and went to the county town alone to visit his master Li Tong.

Although he used Li Tong's name to deceive Wei Bin, it does not mean that he really didn't have that idea.

Wang Cheng believed that if you could buy the evil-killing talisman, your master Li Tong and even Li Wei and other senior brothers, you should not miss it.

And as an intermediary, it is natural for him to draw some water from it.

In addition, Wang Cheng also wanted to use this matter to give his master Li Tong and his senior brothers some hints, so that they could understand that he was not just a little constable, and that someone was behind him.

He has seen through this world now!

In this world, if you want to do well, you either have the strength or find a strong backer to protect yourself.

Originally, Master Li Tong was considered a good backer, and Captain Du could barely be considered one.

However, compared with Wei Bin, the Demon Suppressing Team, who is about to become an internal warrior, these two are undoubtedly much inferior again.

Of course, Wang Cheng also knew that the backing mountain would fall, and the real thing that could be reliable would always be himself.

So these people are just a help he has found to make himself stronger, so he will not ignore the improvement of his own strength.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect you to have this path, it's really good luck!"

In the Tiger Martial Arts Hall, Li Tong heard Wang Cheng talk about his acquaintance and friendship with Wei Bin, and he also showed surprise on his face, and couldn't help but be amazed at his luck.

When Wang Cheng heard this, he also said with emotion: "The disciple is now like a cloud of mist, and he is a little flattered. I wonder where Brother Wei has fallen in love with his disciple and is willing to make a fuss like this!"

After hearing his sigh, Li Tong couldn't help frowning, then looked at him with a serious look and said, "Why do you have to make trouble for yourself? Since that Lord Wei values ​​you and is willing to interact with you, it is your luck."

After saying that, he looked at him with deep meaning and taught: "What you need to do now is to try to maintain this friendship and show your weight as much as possible so that Lord Wei can know that you are not really useless!"

Wang Cheng quickly responded: "Yes, thank you for your advice. I understand what to do."

"Okay, since you have this way, even if you support you, you should help share some of it. Based on the price of thirty silver coins per, you can buy three evil-killing talismans for later use!"

Li Tong waved his hand and expressed his needs.

He is not like Wang Cheng. He bought evil-killing talismans specifically to kill ghosts, but just bought them for self-defense and spare use. Of course, he would not buy too many at once.

In fact, if it weren't for the use of the spare evil-killing talisman in Dasang Township last time, he wouldn't have bought more magic talismans that can only deal with ghosts.

Wang Cheng also knew this truth, so he did not try to do more sales, but just agreed immediately.

After getting ninety silver coins from Li Tong, he went to tell his story to his senior brother Li Wei and his second senior brother Guo Feng.

Compared to Li Tong, these two senior brothers have no channels to buy the evil talisman, and have seen the sharpness of the evil talisman against ghosts before, so they are still very interested in this matter.

So Li Wei also took out 30 silver coins to reserve one. Guo Feng, a rich and wealthy young man from a wealthy family, ordered three evil-killing talismans like Li Tong.

These people digested a total of seven evil-killing talismans. Wang Cheng earned five silver coins for each magic talisman, which was thirty-five silver coins.

In this way, with the more than forty silver coins he has now, it is just enough to digest the remaining three evil-killing talismans.
