Seeing Ling Yun casually throwing two taels of silver on the table, Huang Qiusheng said disdainfully, "Ling Jieyuan, what is your intention? How can we, the students, be the scholars who would bow down for a mere two taels of silver?"
Li Changfu also joined the team of taunts, "That's right, it's a dignified one, a crown in three years, and a mere two taels of silver. I have the nerve to spend it."
This money was all their money, but now Ling Yun used it to humiliate them. His move really made them ashamed, so how could they be so kind to him?
Hearing this, Ling Yun didn't get angry, but instead threw one or two more to the top.
Everyone just glanced at it briefly and immediately looked away.
There was anger on Huang Qiusheng's face, and he said in a low voice, "We advise you to take the money back to avoid humiliating yourself."
He paused for a moment and then continued, "Moreover, it is impossible for our money to break our waists. We soldiers can be killed without humiliation!"
Everyone agreed, "Yes, yes..."
"That's right, a scholar can be killed and cannot be humiliated... With just a few of your stinky money, no one cares about it..."
Ling Yun once again took out two taels, raised the corners of his mouth, and glanced at them.
The crowd once again remembered the curse, "vulgar, shameless..."
"That's right, we will never do it for...Brother Huang, why are you doing this?"
Just when Li Changfu vowed, he said that they and others looked down upon this mere taels of silver.
But before he finished speaking, Huang Qiusheng picked up the money on the table with quick eyes and hands, shocking everyone present.
Seeing Huang Qiusheng pick up the money, Ling Yun's smile deepened.
If you don't give in for five buckets of rice, can a scholar be killed but not humiliated?
I, Ling Yun, am going to take a look today to see how much your so-called backbone is worth.
Anyway, he has a lot of money, so he is not afraid that these people will not have ideas, but that they will have ideas.
No, even if it’s only five taels of silver, some people can’t sit still. It’s really eye-opening!
Ling Yun smiled faintly and said thoughtfully, "Oh! It seems that the backbone you talk about is not that valuable."
Those who were not popular enough stared at Huang Qiusheng and shouted angrily, "Brother Huang, why are you doing this?"
"That's right, Brother Huang, for these five taels of silver, you actually chose to betray us for these five taels of silver?"
Huang Qiusheng spoke most enthusiastically and righteously at the beginning, but now he could not bear the temptation of the five taels of silver. This hit them hard, and Ling Yun's cynicism made them even more ashamed.
As a result, all their anger towards Jing Yun was transferred to Huang Qiusheng. At this time, they wished to break Huang Qiusheng's hand so that he could not afford the money and they would not be so embarrassed.
Huang Qiusheng, who noticed the anger coming from his teammates and knew that he had offended the public, looked solemn and took a deep breath of cold air.
At this time, he was secretly anxious, complaining that he couldn't control himself and got greedy for these five taels of silver.
This is five taels of silver. If he doesn't take it, he won't even have travel expenses, so how can he return to his hometown? But if he takes it, how can he explain it?
After thinking hard, I still couldn't think of a good reason. Just when I was about to give up, I had an idea and explained, "Brothers, please listen to what Huang has to say."
Although the others were furious, they still stopped talking and wanted to hear Huang Qiusheng's explanation.
Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Huang Qiusheng was relieved, and then he justified himself and said, "Everyone, if I, Huang, wanted to take this money, I would not let Huang do such a stupid thing with just five taels of silver.
Things come out."
When I heard Huang Qiusheng talking plausibly and eloquently, I couldn't help but wonder if they had wrongly blamed him?
What is the explanation for the silver in your hand?
So someone wondered, "Then why does Brother Huang have five taels of silver in his hand?"
Seeing that they were thoughtful, Huang Qiusheng felt more at ease in his heart, and continued to speak shamelessly, "You don't know, this money was originally ours, but it was just deceived by this little Ling Yun...Ling Yun, if I answered his words
, wouldn’t that be equivalent to getting part of our money back?”
Huang Qiusheng originally wanted to talk about Ling Yun's son, but then he thought about Ling Yun's Jieyuan identity and coveted Ling Yun's identity. He could only call him by his first name. Otherwise, it would be terrible if he was targeted.
"So much so that Ling Yun will use the money, so he might as well take it back while he can and have some comfort. Besides, Huang does not intend to use the money for spending, but intends to keep it with him whenever he studies.
When you can no longer read, take out this money to encourage yourself and never forget the humiliation of that day."
"Coax!" As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. They never expected that Huang Qiusheng's hatred for Ling Yun would reach such an extent.
He did not just do it for the five taels of silver, but used the five taels of silver to motivate himself at all times and never forget the humiliation of that day.
With such virtue, they actually misunderstood that he bowed to Ling Yun for five taels of silver.
Thinking about it this way, they are really not human beings, and they actually use their villain's heart to make a gentleman's heart.
"Brother Huang is so righteous. We almost misunderstood Brother Huang. I really feel guilty."
"Yes! Brother Huang, fortunately Brother Huang told the truth. Otherwise, we would still be in the dark and feel really guilty."
"Fortunately, Brother Huang has a broad mind, otherwise..."
"puff!"
How dare this Huang Qiusheng do this?
He actually said that he was greedy for money so impassionedly that it was natural. The most important thing was that he actually made these people believe it. I have to say that this eloquence is definitely a rare talent.
If he were born in the later generations, he would not only be a speaker, but he would also be a good salesman.
Huang Qiusheng waved his hands and expressed his understanding, "Hey! We are all brothers, so how can Huang blame you? It's just that Huang really doesn't want to tell you about this pain, but since you want to ask, he still said it.
"
"Brother Huang is really capable of supporting the prime minister, but we are short-sighted."
Compared to the others, Ling Yun was just sitting lazily, eating peanuts, drinking tea, and looking at the scene in front of him, life was really colorful.
Hearing them flattering each other all the time, Ling Yun really couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly urged, "Come on, get the money and do things quickly."
"snort!"
Hearing Ling Yun speak, everyone groaned in unison.
Huang Qiusheng then sighed and lamented, "I just heard that after nightfall yesterday, someone jumped into the lake and committed suicide at Yanxia Tower. I heard that he was a failed scholar."
Hearing this, Ling Yun was shocked and stunned, and murmured to himself, "How could it be possible? Isn't it just a provincial examination? How come you are so good, but you fall into a gang and end up seeking death?"
