Yan Tong has to admire Shi Yue's cunning!
This guy first pretended to be innocent and told the real price of the table, chairs and cups, which made Meng Jiao feel that it was real and credible, and his skin was not itchy, so he agreed and paid the full amount. He didn't expect that there was an inscription by Old Man Geng on it?
Looking at Meng Jiao's bitter face that was dark and purple, Yan Tong also knew that Meng Jiao was in a dilemma.i^
Old Man Geng is the director of Wenxing Academy and one of the best scholars in Dayan. Although He Dan is just a famous person, the gap is thousands of miles apart from Mr. Geng. Master Geng teaches and educates people, cultivates talents, and benefits scholars all over the world. In the eyes of talented men, he is a noble existence.
Because of this, his calligraphy is very rare. Every word is a priceless treasure. No matter how much money he has, he cannot get his inscriptions in his own handwriting. But he did not expect that he would have his inscriptions on the chair in Mingyue Tower, which is really incredible.
"Mr. He, you...are you kidding?"
Meng Jiao came back from the shock, pressed his beating heart and stammered: "Mr. Geng's calligraphy is something that is not worth looking for. How could he write an inscription on the legs of the chair? Haha... In my opinion, it may be... a fake?"
When he spoke, he felt guilty - after all, Meng Jiao was also a scholar and had achieved some success in his knowledge. After being reminded by He Dan, he made a careful argument at close range and found that the meaning of the ink treasure was coherent and elegant, so how could he imitate it casually?
He Dang was about to block Meng Jiao, but Shi Yue laughed and said, "Mr. He has such a good eye! I thought he didn't dare to recognize Geng's Mobao Eyes, or maybe Mr. He was afraid of offending Mr. Meng, even if he saw it, he didn't dare to tell him. Now it seems that I judge a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Damn it! Damn it."
After this, He Dan was blocked by Shi Yue. It was really difficult to take back the hua. He looked at Meng Jiao and could only express sympathy.%&*";
Meng Jiao could only kill his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and said helplessly: "Shi Qianhu, tell me a price, I accept it."
Shi Yue smiled, "Geng's calligraphy is hard to find. If I want less, I'm sorry for Geng's reputation. If I want more, it will make Mr. Meng embarrassed. If I want more, I will be embarrassed by this calligraphy. In my opinion, this calligraphy will be set as 10,000 taels of silver. How about it?"
Ten thousand taels!
Meng Jiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Shi Qianhu is quick and easy. I'll pay for this price." After touching the cold sweat that was sizzling out of his forehead, he felt it was reasonable and even felt it was cheap.
"Young Master Meng is so generous, it's really admirable!"
Shi Yue clapped his hands, and waved the jade fragments collected by Hongxing one by one in front of Meng Jiao, saying aloud: "This is a five-character quatrain "Ode to Plum Blossoms" written by Chen Sifan and everyone was excited and happy. That one is a hundred beautiful picture drawn by Zhu Chao and Zhu. Uh... This is a cursive script that He Yuanhe and everyone waved..."
Shi Yue counted one by one, and the things he broke were actually written by famous people, and every celebrity was a master of great scholars and literati.
This made Meng Jiao's intestines regret--you, these great scholars are crazy, and they are hard to find magic treasures on weekdays. Unexpectedly, their breath is everywhere in Mingyue Tower. Alas, how much does it cost to pay!
Shi Yue smiled and said, "Young Master Meng, you are so generous, how could I ask you how much money you want? Chen, Zhu, He, you have the same status as Geng, and it is hard to tell. Since Geng's calligraphy is priced at 10,000 taels, the others are the same, priced at 10,000 taels."
Shi Yue calculated carefully, "There are ten pairs of ink treasures in total, which adds up to 100,000 taels of silver, jade tables and chairs, and amber tea cups add up to 10,000 taels, totaling 110,000 taels."
"Oh! Forget it, my jade table, chair, and amber tea cup were spared because I didn't know you, Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng, there are a total of 100,000 taels of silver. Please take a closer look at the details." After saying that, he handed the details to Meng Jiao.
Another one hundred thousand taels!
When Meng Jiao heard this, his heart was cut with a knife, and he felt a sensation. He reluctantly said, "Okay! This is what it should be. Thank you, Brother Shi, for giving me a break."
"No need to thank you! No need to thank you!"
Shi Yue waved his hand and smiled generously, "Mr. Meng, don't think I'm asking for a price all over the place. But I have to return it to everyone without moving the full amount. No matter how you count it, the jade table, chair, and amber tea cup are in my hands. Well, who makes me so kind?"
In fact, the inscriptions by Mr. Geng and others were also "deceived" by Shi Yue. Shi Yue spent 500 taels of silver to invite them to drink. While they were drunk, he fooled them to write the calligraphy on it without spending a penny.
Otherwise, those great scholars who are full of food will write inscriptions on tables, chairs and benches? Are they crazy?
So, how could Shi Yue generously give the silver to everyone? Besides, scholars are noble and stupid. Isn’t they looking down on them? Haha... I had to spare my own difficulties and keep the silver by myself.
Meng Jiao listened to Shi Yue's praise for his kindness, and only made him so angry that his eyes turned to heaven. He endured his distraction and said to Shi Yue: "Shi Qianhu, is it done now? Do you have any other requirements? Let's put it together. Let's fight and decide quickly."
Quick battle? Haha... I want to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, which will make you grin in pain.
Shi Yue said again: "That forgot to remind Mr. Meng that your followers had troubled and caused trouble, broke into Mingyue Tower, smashed and robbed, and were taken to the black prison. Do you want to redeem people? According to the Dayan Law, as long as there is enough silver, you can redeem people."
Repay for the redemption?
Meng Jiao was very annoyed by these bastards - these bastards were bragging in the past, looking like I was the best in the world. Unexpectedly, they were not afraid of being so arrogant that they not only smashed the tables, chairs and benches, but also lost 100,000 taels of silver. They were not the match of the Black Guard and were taken down in one round.
What's the point of keeping such a cowardly guard? It's better to let them eat in prison and never come out.
Thinking of this, Meng Jiao was full of righteousness and said aloud: "Shi Qianhu, I am a scholar. Everything is about the word "Dharma". It is not that I do not miss my old feelings, but that they have violated the law and reformed in prison and reflected on it. It is natural. How can I lose the opportunity to recognize my own mistakes? Although I feel very reluctant in my heart, I cannot redeem them for them."
"Okay! Well said, Mr. Meng is righteous and deserves to be an example for scholars."
Shi Yue stretched out his thumb to compliment, but he looked very despised in his heart. This guy was narrow-minded and actually took his anger on his guard who worked hard for him, and did not remember any old feelings. It was hopeless.
If you don't redeem people, I have to force you to redeem people...
Shi Yue praised Meng Jiao before he said leisurely: "Okay, in my opinion, they must have done some bad things about being domineering and disregarding the king's law behind their backs. Because of Mr. Meng, I had a lot of concerns just now. Now that I am sure that Mr. Meng has the intention to uphold justice, how can I be kind to them outside the law?"
Suddenly he turned cold and looked at Lei Dahu and said, "Lei Baihu, hurry back to the black prison and torture them, so that they can spit out all the evil things they have done."
"Anyone who is involved in those evil things will be arrested. Even if I am the king of heaven, we are not allowed to open the door. We... need to learn from Mr. Meng!"
