Chapter 222: There is a fool at the end of the village (19)(2/2)
Therefore, shopkeeper Zhang, who had made up his mind this time, discussed with his wife for a long time before asking her to agree to send cash this year. At the same time, he also agreed that his wife would change the six hundred taels into one thousand taels.
Shopkeeper Zhang's wife heard that he was so considerate, and she was naturally happy to have him.
Little did they know that this shopkeeper had actually already made an agreement with the bandits on the mountain. As soon as the money reached their territory, he would let them cut it off and let the people go.
When the time comes, they will add to the silver two by one and make five, each of them half.
If something good like this happens again in the future, he will still provide a clue to these bandits.
The bandits had been dealing with shopkeeper Zhang for a long time, so they were happy to agree. After all, who wouldn't want this kind of door-to-door money delivery?
Shopkeeper Zhang was very happy after receiving the bandits' reply. In this way, he got a piece of land for the escort agency with only five hundred taels of silver.
At the same time, his wife will probably never dare to mention giving gifts to her father again.
For shopkeeper Zhang, this is simply a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!
Thinking of the agreement he had made with the bandits, and thinking of the money Jin Qing had asked for just now, shopkeeper Zhang sneered in his heart. He wanted money, and he was not afraid that my money would hurt his hands.
However, shopkeeper Zhang no longer persisted, and replied neatly, "Okay, one hundred taels is one hundred taels."
The monkey also replied to him simply, "Chenghui, one hundred taels of silver in cash. Once we receive the money, we will come to pick up the escort immediately."
Shopkeeper Zhang didn't hesitate. He reached into the hidden pocket in his sleeve, took out a one hundred tael silver note, and handed it directly to the monkey.
The monkey did not take it, but motioned to Zhao Bude, who was standing beside him, to step forward and take it. "Xiao De, since the escort money has been paid, you and shopkeeper Zhang can go to the Yamen to make a mortgage later!"
Seeing Zhao Bude reaching out to take the banknote and walking to his side, shopkeeper Zhang gave a meaningful smile, "I hope you can make me feel it's worth it!" Buying an escort agency for six hundred taels is worth it no matter how you calculate it.
.
At this time, shopkeeper Zhang coldly snorted to Zhao Bude and the others and said, "You really dare to ask for any money."
At this time, the monkey motioned to the two people holding him to lead him back.
Who would have thought that as soon as the few people moved, they heard an "ouch" sound, and the three monkeys almost tripped them. After a closer look, they turned out to have stepped on the two tigers who were squatting behind them and watching the fun.
Erhu sat on the ground and rubbed his painful calf, but his eyes glanced at Jin Qing, who rushed to the corner to pretend to be fine when the monkey turned around. His lips were pouted, so they were clearly watching the fun together.
, why am I the only one being stepped on?
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the farce-like scene in front of him. What kind of people were they?
