"Master Wei, money belongs to money, and feelings belong to feelings."
"If this is a personal loan to you, I don't need an IOU or interest."
"But...the money being borrowed now is lent to the national treasury and to the country to fight the war. It is always appropriate to draw up an IOU and charge interest, right?"
"What's borrowing money without issuing an IOU? And what kind of credibility does it have, don't you think?"
Qin Wenyuan pulled his wife Chang Le back, and then spoke dissatisfied.
"This..." Wei Zheng hesitated when he heard this.
Qin Wenyuan is right.
This is a loan to the treasury and to Datang, not to him.
In the end, the money went to the national treasury. Although it still belonged to the supreme emperor Li Shimin, the existence of the three provinces and six ministries system greatly restricted Li Shimin's power.
For example, in terms of finance, the emperor's inner treasury and the country's treasury are completely separated.
What Qin Wenyuan wants at this moment is an IOU from the treasury and interest from the treasury. There is nothing unjustifiable.
Wei Zheng understood immediately and knew that Qin Wenyuan did not trust the system, but he could trust it, so he asked: "Master Qin, can't we discuss it?"
Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, but finally wanted to talk about whether there was anything he could discuss.
Qin Wenyuan glanced at Wei Zheng, and by looking at Wei Zheng's expression, he probably knew what he was thinking.
"Master Wei, although you and I are very good friends, I, Qin, cannot give in on the matter of borrowing money. If you don't want to, forget it. My wife and I are about to arrive at the Qin Mansion now. How about we come back next time?"
talk?"
Qin Wenyuan said calmly.
It would be good if Wei Zheng could just put it off like this, after all... he still has a lot of things to arrange now.
The Qin Mansion is right in front of him, and Qin Wenyuan plans to ask the people in the manor to conduct a thorough check on the recent income of the Changyuan Tea Shop after he returns.
"Hey...it's okay, it's okay, Mr. Qin, is this okay?" Wei Zheng sighed and said.
This time, he came here at the request of Li Shimin. He represented the Tang Dynasty, so he had the power to make all decisions.
"In that case, Mr. Wei, will you come with me into the house to sign and sign in a moment?"
Qin Wenyuan made an invitation.
He invited Wei Zheng to the Qin Mansion to deal with the IOU and other things.
Wei Zheng nodded and followed Qin Wenyuan to enter the Yang Mansion.
However......
At this moment, a sound pierced the air.
A dark arrow shot out from an unknown place.
The arrow blade with a cold light shot towards Wei Zheng at an extremely fast speed.
The arrow is too fast!!
Before anyone could react, the arrow shot in front of Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng, a civil servant, although he had some force, still did not react in time and was immediately stunned.
He felt cold and stiff all over, and the breath of death enveloped his whole body.
At the critical moment, Qin Wenyuan's sharp eyes stretched out his right hand and caught the menacing arrow, causing it to stop only half a minute away from Wei Zheng's eyes.
Immediately, there was a "crack" sound, and Qin Wenyuan actually broke the thin arrow with one hand.
All this happened so fast that by the time Wei Zheng reacted, he was already out of danger.
"Qin... Mr. Qin, thank you very much."
Wei Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Although he was surprised at why Qin Wenyuan's martial arts was so powerful at the moment, it was obviously not the right time because the danger had not been eliminated yet!
This is just an arrow, and the person who shot the arrow in secret hasn’t come out yet!!
But now the three of them are in a secluded alley, even more isolated and helpless, and can only deal with the enemy alone.
"Ouch~~"
Suddenly, a huge roar sounded. It was a giant man roaring, like a beast roaring.
Then, wherever Qin Wenyuan and the others could see, a giant man appeared, very burly.
He rushed towards Wei Zheng madly, his mace raised high.
The giant man wanted to smash Wei Zheng into a pulp.
Boom boom boom... boom boom boom...
The huge footsteps sounded like an earthquake, seeming to announce the end of Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng's face suddenly turned completely pale.
He took a deep breath, with a crazy look in his eyes, ready for a fight.
"Husband!!!"
Changle couldn't help but let out a scream.
Qin Wenyuan, who had been standing by Wei Zheng's side, sighed and switched from hugging his wife to protecting his wife behind him.
Immediately, he turned slightly sideways and stood in front of Wei Zheng.
But the next moment, Qin Wenyuan felt chills rising, and an extreme danger was coming.
He quickly turned around and saw another dark arrow, missing Wei Zheng by just a few centimeters.
"retreat!"
Qin Wenyuan let out a low cry and patted Wei Zheng's stomach with one hand.
boom!!
Wei Zheng was sent flying and hit the wall directly, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
At this time, the feathered arrow originally passed through Wei Zheng's neck where it had passed through his throat. After being kicked away by Qin Wenyuan, the arrow blade only took away a strand of hair.
"Mr. Qin, thank you very much."
Wei Zheng coughed repeatedly.
Although Qin Wenyuan's actions this time were very rough, in fact, Wei Zheng was extremely happy that at least his life was saved, and he was immediately extremely grateful to Qin Wenyuan.
Now that he thought about the scene just now, his legs couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Almost, almost again!!
If Qin Wenyuan hadn't responded in time, he would have died.
Unexpectedly, there were archers hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take action. They suddenly took action when everyone was attracted by the giant man!!
At this moment, Qin Wenyuan remained silent and stared at the giant man in front of him with cold eyes.
These assassins struck again and again, successfully irritating him completely.
These people deserve to die for putting their wives and friends in danger!!!
The giant man had already rushed to Qin Wenyuan, and the mace in his hand swept towards Yang Fei.
The momentum was as if Qin Wenyuan was going to be smashed to pieces.
Qin Wenyuan sneered, not taking it seriously, and looked at this giant man called a war slave with cold eyes.
He hugged his wife, Chang Le, and kicked his right foot hard on the ground to gain strength.
"boom!!"
Qin Wenyuan shot out and jumped towards the giant man.
At the same time, Qin Wenyuan stretched out his right hand and pulled out the feather arrow stuck in the tree.
This is a good arrow. Qin Wenyuan took a closer look and his eyes flickered slightly, as if he had thought of something.
But he did not continue to think too much, because the situation in front of him did not allow him to do so!
After the feather arrow was pulled out by Qin Wenyuan, at the same time, because Qin Wenyuan avoided the attack, the giant man couldn't help but let out a frightening roar again.
Then, the next moment, the mace in his hand was smashed towards Qin Wenyuan.
Qin Wenyuan was still unfazed by the honor and disgrace, and nimbly dodged sideways.
"boom!!"
A huge hole was made in the ground, stones were flying everywhere, and the whole street was shaken.
"Huh! So much power!"
Qin Wenyuan snorted coldly, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
"Madam, close your eyes, and after a few breaths, open them again." Qin Wenyuan said calmly.
"Um."
Changle nodded immediately. She hugged her husband Qin Wenyuan's waist tightly and pressed her face against Qin Wenyuan's chest.
At this moment, even if there is endless murderous intent in front of him, Changle still feels that this is the safest place.
She just closed her beautiful eyes obediently.
Qin Wenyuan immediately shot away like lightning, and he jumped up to be as tall as the giant man.
The feather arrow in his hand slashed towards his neck.
"Master Qin, be careful!"
On the ground, Wei Zheng couldn't help but scream in fear.
After he was safe, he couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Qin Wenyuan's actions.
This big man is tall and tall, and his body is already the size of two Qin Wenyuans. He is very intimidating.
Seeing Qin Wenyuan still holding Changle in his arms to face the enemy, Wei Zheng couldn't help but be alarmed, fearing that Qin Wenyuan would suffer a loss if he was too conceited.
However, the next moment, Wei Zheng was completely dumbfounded.
He imagined that the arrow was blocked by the giant man, or even smashed to pieces, which did not happen.
The feather arrow in Qin Wenyuan's hand was so sharp for some reason that it passed through the giant man's neck without any hindrance.
Phew!!!
Suddenly a red light appeared on the scene, and a huge head soared into the sky.
The giant man's nearly two-meter-long body was actually split into two.
His head flew out and fell to the ground, rolling several meters away.
The body kept twitching while standing, and finally fell to the ground and died.
The scene fell silent, and Wei Zheng watched this scene in horror.
At this moment, both the assassin in black and Wei Zheng looked dull.
Unexpectedly...with just one bow and arrow, the giant man who was as strong as an iron wall was cut into pieces!!
Wei Zheng was completely confused. This had completely refreshed his outlook on life.
Qin Wenyuan expressed indifference to this, and his heart was calm.
There is nothing that cannot be cut in his hands.
If it doesn't work, either it's because you're not strong enough.
Otherwise, the weapon in your hand is not sharp enough!!
After killing the giant man with one sword, Qin Wenyuan fell to the ground and closed his eyes. He just stood there, his whole body becoming extremely horrified.
Wei Zheng looked at Qin Wenyuan in front of him. He could only see his back, but he still couldn't help but gasp.
At this moment, he did not dare to ask Qin Wenyuan what he was doing standing there. He was already shocked and conquered by Qin Wenyuan.
"Madam, the danger is over, you can open your eyes now." Qin Wenyuan chuckled.
"Yes." Chang Le responded, and quickly opened his trembling beautiful eyes, and immediately saw the corpse of the giant man split in two in front of him, with blood flowing all over the ground.
In this regard, she did not have any vomiting symptoms, because when she first married Qin Wenyuan, when she delivered tea from Changyuan for the first time, she had seen a scene even more bloody than this!
At this moment, even though he knew that his husband was unparalleled in martial arts, Chang Le could not help but be shocked when he saw the scene in front of him.
The next moment, suddenly, Qin Wenyuan also opened his eyes!! His eyes burst into light!!
He moved again.
The feather arrow was thrown from Qin Wenyuan's hand.
puff!!
The sound of breaking through the air sounded.
The arrows fly so fast that they are almost difficult to catch.
It penetrated directly through the eaves and headed towards the source of the two sneak attacks on Wei Zheng's bow and arrow.
"ah!!"
In the distance, a scream suddenly sounded, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
Qin Wenyuan judged that he had killed the archer hiding in the dark several hundred meters away.
The scene was once again in an uproar. Wei Zheng looked at Qin Wenyuan with eyes that became more and more fervent and respectful.
too strong!
With just one arrow, you can kill someone hundreds of meters away without the need for a bow.
Wei Zheng was completely conquered by Qin Wenyuan's move.
Even Chang Le, the wife in Qin Wenyuan's arms, looked at Qin Wenyuan with spring-like eyes.
At this time, Qin Wenyuan turned around and said with a smile: "Master Wei, the crisis has been resolved and the assassins are all dead."
"Yes...really?"
Wei Zheng was still in deep shock and could not react immediately.
When he was sure it was safe, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master Qin, who do you think is responsible for Wei?"
Wei Zheng patted his heart while his tone was cold and scary.
Hearing this, Qin Wenyuan frowned, but soon relaxed.
"Master Wei is joking."
"You don't even know who is attacking you. How can I, an outsider, know who it is?"
Qin Wenyuan chuckled.
But in his heart, he already had a rough template.
Those who can dispatch so many dead soldiers are undoubtedly those from aristocratic families who have such strength.
But there are too many noble families in the family. In addition to the five surnames and Qi Wang, there are also many noble families.
For example, the Pei family of Hedong, the Wei family of Jingzhao, the Liu family of Hedong, the Xue family of Hedong, the Yang family of Hongnong, etc.
Qin Wenyuan could not guess who was sent to assassinate Wei Zheng, and he did not want to go into details.
It was Wei Zheng who was assassinated this time, not him. If Wei Zheng wanted to know who it was, he could just go and find out by himself.
"Mr. Qin, that giant man is tall and burly, and his whereabouts can easily be discovered in Chang'an City. Do you think, following the investigation, if no one in Chang'an City knows the whereabouts of the giant man, does it mean that this is the work of a noble family?"
"After all, only aristocratic families can hide such extraordinary people."
Wei Zheng took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
He knew how powerful Qin Wenyuan was, so he really wanted to hear speculations from Qin Wenyuan's mouth.
The voice fell.
Qin Wenyuan chuckled lightly, "What Master Wei said just now, he only mentioned the aristocratic family, but did not mention the hidden power. I think Master Wei must have already had the answer in his mind."
"Now that you have the answer, why bother asking me, Mr. Qin?"
"Uh...this..." Wei Zheng's tone paused.
He didn't expect Qin Wenyuan to be so tight-lipped.
According to normal circumstances, Qin Wenyuan would not be like this. He usually tells the truth when dealing with friends. Could it be...
In a daze, Wei Zheng thought of a guess and his eyes widened.
At the same time, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded.
"Master Wei, Mr. Qin, are you okay?"
Jing Zhaoyi and Zhao Xianye were waiting for a group of Jing Zhaoyi yamen servants to keep running towards here, their eyes full of anxiety.
Wei Zheng looked at them, waited for them to approach, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, we are fine, thanks to Qin this time... No, thanks to the help of a mysterious swordsman."
"If the mysterious swordsman hadn't helped us kill the assassin, I'm afraid Mr. Qin, I, and Mrs. Qin would all have died here today."
After he finished speaking, Wei Zheng sighed and was filled with fear.
