Chapter 45 Unreliable Investment

The four of them came to Luoyang South City Square. There were many people gathered outside the gate. One of them was lying on the ground and rolling on the tantrum. Someone was patiently persuading him. On the other side were standing a large group of despaired old people.

More than a dozen yamen runners are maintaining order, "Everyone disperses, don't block the door!"

A beggar reached out to ask for money around.

"Hey! This beggar looks familiar. Lao Zhao, is he Liu Sima?" Zhang Ping recognized the beggar who was asking for money.

It was really Liu Sima who was accused of them. Zhao Hu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Liu Sima, are you dismissed from office so quickly and your family is in ruins?"

The beggar looked at him coldly and said, "What is Liu Sima? I am Wang Huazi, who begs for food. Do you have any money? Hurry up and give two rewards!"

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu looked at each other and began to feel a little bad.

Zhang Ping suddenly saw an old man holding him as if he was catching a life-saving straw.

"Brother-in-law, I remember you invested a thousand guan, right?"

The old man rolled his eyes, "Do you think I look like a person with a thousand stagnant of money?"

"Auntie, I remember you also invested 500 stags!" Zhao Hu also grabbed another life-saving straw.

"Haha! Five hundred stakes, only you believe it. I have never even had five stakes in my life!"

"That damn liar still owes us twenty cents each! We agreed that each person would pay twenty cents each to join in the fun, but we ran away with a slap in my butt. Young man, you are so rich, why don't you pay for him!"

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu were like five thunders thunder, and were blown to the outside and tender inside.

"You two bastards!"

The businessman sitting on the ground making a tantrum suddenly got up and rushed up, grabbed Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu and yelled.

"You just swear that he is true and you promised me that there is no problem. You are the ones who have caused me and I will pay back my money!"

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu stuttered: "We... didn't say anything, you believed it yourself."

"Nonsense! You are just what you advised me, and you also said that you came from Chang'an Imperial City, so it's guaranteed to be true."

The three of them were tied together, and Li Xiu saw a county magistrate next to him investigating the situation, which looked quite familiar.

Then he walked up and asked with a smile, "What do you call this county lord?"

The official quickly clasped his fists and smiled, "Your Highness doesn't know me anymore. Bei Zhi was originally the secretary of Jingzhao Prefecture Jin Jiong, and we have seen the case of Xuanduguan."

It really scared Li Xiu, "You are... Jin Jiong?"

It turns out that this person is the secret that Chen Xuanli told him, the undercover agent beside Pei Kuan.

"Why are you here in Luoyang? You are also with Pei Envoy?"

Jin Jiong nodded, "Envoy Pei only brought Beiye to take office, and Beiye is now serving as the lieutenant of Luoyang County."

At present, this undercover agent has not had any interaction with him, and Li Xiu quickly returned to his normal mentality.

"Congratulations to County Wei Wang Jin for being promoted to another level. Can this liar have clues now?"

Jin Jiong shook his head, "When we heard the news, the liar had already run away. Some people said that he hired a ox cart to go west. If he escaped from the city, he would be able to chase him. But he was still in the city, where to find it in the vast sea of ​​people?"

"How much did you cheat in total?"

"After on-site statistics, I cheated a total of 200 taels of silver and 50 stagnants of money."

Li Xiu glanced speechlessly at the three people who were still entangled, all three of them were idiots.

Pei Min quickly stepped forward and whispered: "Young Master, let me talk with you one step."

Li Xiu walked aside with him, and Pei Min said, "There are some clues in the humble profession."

"What clue?"

"I asked around and the scammer called a cart for cargo. The roof was yellow. I had already asked, and the owner's surname was Jiang, so I was driving goods in the area of ​​Nanshi."

Li Xiu shook his head, "Fifty stags and three hundred pounds of money are enough to deposit it into the cabinet shop. Now, half an hour has passed, and it is too late. At most, one empty car will be found."

"It is also possible to transport the money to your home. Bei Zhi wants to go and investigate."

"Go! If you find it, don't alert the snake."

Li Xiu was quite interested in this liar, and actually used the name of raising funds to start mining. This was a scam that only appeared in later generations.

Is this a time travel liar?

"Your Highness!" County Magistrate Jin Jiong appeared beside Li Xiu.

The two walked aside, and Jin Jiong sighed and said, "That businessman wants to sue His Highness's two entourages, things are a little troublesome."

"The businessman was cheated and had nothing to do with my two entourage!"

"It shouldn't matter, it's just that the behavior of His Highness's two entourages is a bit incredible. I don't know what to say about Hu Yi?"

"They were not in a normal mind. One of them had a head clipped by the door and the other was kicked by a donkey. Just say anything about Jin County Magistrate!"

"No wonder!"

Jin Jiong looked suddenly, "This way, you can understand. They were obviously deceived, and there was no benefit at all. Instead, they spoke for the liar. Now the businessman is grasping this."

"My two followers are just enthusiastic, not trying to help scammers, as they are different from cheating."

"I understand this principle. I also believe that the businessman was deceived and his two entourages had no direct causal relationship with his highness's two entourages, but... but it can't stand many people!"

"What's the meaning?"

Jin Jiong lowered his voice and said, "The merchant promised to bear twenty cents for the group of old men. Now everyone is willing to testify for the merchant. The situation is very unfavorable to His Highness's two entourages."

"I won't be able to gain an advantage just because the other party has too many people!"

Jin Jiong smiled bitterly, "This kind of civil case often calms down the situation, and it always means that the law does not blame the public. If they go to the county government to file a lawsuit and make the matter worse, the two followers of His Highness will be the ones who are unlucky in the end."

Li Xiu looked back and saw a large group of people staring at Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu in unison!

These bastards also have to look at their owners when beating dogs, and they don’t take them seriously at all.

Li Xiu didn't want to bother Pei Kuan with such nonsense.

“What is the fastest and most convenient solution?”

"The fastest plan is for the two to compensate the merchant for his fifty-strong losses. The merchant gave up complaining and everyone left."

Li Xiu waved his hand and called Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu up.

"That businessman, do you know where he does business?"

"Of course I know, he brags about selling Shiwuchun wine in Nanshi!"

"Can you confirm?"

"It must be sure, I've seen his contract."

Jin Jiong turned his head to look at the scenery. He heard nothing and knew nothing.

Li Xiu took out fifty taels of silver and handed it to Jin Jiong, "This is fifty taels of silver, please pay him!"

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu suddenly widened their eyes. What does it mean?

They know the little master very well, and the loss will definitely be counted on themselves in the end.

Jin Jiong received the silver and handed it over to the merchant. The merchant immediately expressed his grievances and gave it to everyone. The group of old people earned twenty cents each, and everyone was very happy.

After Jin Jiong left, Li Xiu said to Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu: "Are you feeling comfortable when the fifty taels of silver taken away by that businessman?"

Zhang Ping jumped up and shouted: "Damn it, it's not that we lied to him, why should he ask us to compensate?"

Zhao Hu also said angrily: "So many people don't believe it, but he just believes that if he hadn't been greedy, he would have been deceived? He had no loss, but we were going to take the blame!"

Li Xiu looked at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, admired the sky of the Tang Dynasty, and said a few words that could not be traced back to the source.

"I remember that you have good methods of catching monsters in the Gorix Mansion. If you want to catch monsters again and get fifty taels of silver back, I don't object."

Zhang Ping and Zhao Xiu looked at each other and suddenly realized, "Thank you, young master, for making decisions for us!"

"What's the decision? I don't know anything, it has nothing to do with me."

He turned over and headed towards the south city, "I'll buy a golden hairpin for Xiaomei. If someone dies, you can go to the county government to surrender!"

It is not reliable to do serious things between Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu, but they are still very good at playing tricks and playing scoundrels.

………

This is the first time Li Xiu has been wandering around Luoyang. Luoyang South City is also called Fengdu City. In fact, it is similar to Chang'an West City. There are crowds of people. Merchants from all over the world gather here, and there is also a Hu caravan composed of hundreds of camels.

There are also merchants from Japan, Silla, Tianzhu, Dashi, Nanyang and other places, and dark-skinned Kunlun slaves abound, who do heavy physical work.

The short Kunlun slaves mainly came from India, which is today's India. Some tall and strong Kunlun slaves came from Africa and were trafficked to the Tang Dynasty by cannibals.

There are many stores selling jewelry, and Li Xiu quickly spent more than ten cents of money to buy a peony gold hairpin and earned it into the wallet.

He also planned to see the sword. Although he did not use force, a decorative sword was still needed. The sword of the Tang Dynasty was equivalent to the tie of later generations, and most men wore swords.

Li Xiu held a fan and gave people a playboy feeling.

"Young Master!"

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu rushed over, and they couldn't help but say excitedly: "Fifty taels of silver are taken back!"
