Chapter 226 The Ximen official couldn’t wait to jump into the urn
Wu Yueniang's craftsmanship is indeed good. Among other things, the soup is very delicious.
After having enough wine and food, Li Yunze patted his belly to express his gratitude for the hospitality and it was time to go home.
"Brother." Ximen Qing, who could no longer hold himself any longer, hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, "Let's go to the study with my brother."
Li Yunze frowned slightly and looked at him. After a moment, he slowly nodded, "Yes."
The two of them came to the study, where the maid brought tea and then closed the door and left.
Li Yunze had just taken a sip of tea, and Ximen Qing couldn't wait to come over and lowered his voice, "Brother, where did you get so much money?"
Li Yunze immediately showed a vigilant look on his face and put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Why do the officials ask this?"
"Good brother, don't panic." Ximen Qing nodded with a smile, "Brother will never betray you. Everyone in Qinghe County knows that your family was originally poor, and suddenly you spent thousands of taels of silver to buy a shop. It will lead to gossip."
Li Yunze immediately frowned and raised his hand to rub his chin, "That's right."
"Brother can help you." Ximen Qing rubbed his hands vigorously, breathing rapidly like a wolf with red eyes.
Looking at him with raised eyebrows, Li Yunze asked him with a half-smile, "How can a high official help me?"
"We brothers share the same loyalty and are as close as brothers." Ximen Qing eagerly spoke out the words he had prepared. "My brother is going to Bianliang City to do business, so he will entrust everything in the family to his brother, and naturally all the family wealth will be given away. In this way,
Naturally, no one in the county doubts the source of my brother's money."
Li Yunze, who looked suspicious, asked in a low voice, "How can a high-ranking official be so kind? I don't believe it."
"Hey hey hey." Ximen Qing rubbed his hands, looked around like a thief, and then leaned closer again and said cautiously, "Brother, I know you have a cornucopia."
‘Wow~~~’
Li Yunze stood up suddenly, overturned the tea bowl and threw it to the ground.
He struck out with lightning speed, strangled Ximen Qing's neck, and lifted him up with one hand. "How did you know?!"
At this moment, Ximen Qing, who was struggling desperately, felt the threat of death for the first time.
It's a pity that no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of Li Yunze's big iron-like hands.
When his vision gradually turned dark, Li Yunze finally let go of his hand.
‘Cough cough cough cough~~~’
A series of coughing sounds made Ximen Qing, who was holding his neck, almost cough out his lungs.
Deep in his heart, he really felt the terror of death. He had never been so afraid in his life.
"For the sake of our friendship, I will spare you this time." Li Yunze, with an ashen complexion, rolled his sleeves and walked to the door. "If you dare to leak even a few words, you will be killed!"
When he was walking slowly and was about to reach the door, Li Yunze thought to himself, 'Why don't you catch up and stop me? Can't the performance continue?'
Fortunately, Ximen Qing did not let him down. As soon as he regained his breath, he ran after him and hugged his thigh tightly. "Brother, don't leave. Listen to my brother."
Li Yunze, who was born with supernatural power, kicked his legs hard, but he couldn't get rid of it. "Let go!"
"Good brother, good brother! Listen to me!" Li Yunze's performance made Ximen Qing completely convinced that the cornucopia was real. At this moment, he had lost his mind and only the basin from last week was left in his mind. .
Facing Ximen Qing who was hugging his thigh tightly and not letting go, Li Yunze sighed and said, "Tell me. What is there to say?"
"Good brother." Ximen Qing struggled to get up, and hurriedly pulled his sleeves and sat down on the chair again.
After taking a few breaths, he cautiously said, "Brother, congratulations on your treasure. I don't ask for anything else. I just ask that you can lend me some time."
"Humph." Li Yunze stood up with a sneer and raised his legs to leave.
Ximen Qing hurriedly threw himself to the ground and hugged his thigh again, "Brother, listen to what I have to say."
"You are plotting against my treasure, what else is there to say?"
"Brother, I am willing to give you all my wealth."
"Hahaha~~~" Li Yunze laughed loudly, with contemptuous eyes, "In a month or two at most, I can be richer than you. Your wealth is nothing."
The more he said this, the more excited Ximen Qing became.
Breathing heavily, Ximen Qing pulled Li Yunze and sat down on the chair. "Good brother, I said it before. Your family was originally poor, but suddenly gained so much wealth, which will definitely arouse suspicion."
"Who dares to talk too much?" Li Yunze raised his fist as big as a casserole and said viciously, "I can't beat him to death!"
"Yes, yes, brother is invincible in the whole county. Brother admires me." Ximen Qing, who truly admired him, grabbed Li Yunze's sleeve and refused to let go. "Brother means that all the wealthy women in this family will be given to him. This way.
Outsiders will not wonder where the brother’s home is
The money comes.”
Li Yunze looked him up and down, "Give it all to me, in exchange for my treasure? Stop dreaming."
"Good brother, I don't ask for eternity, I just want what I once had." Ximen Qing chuckled and said what he had been thinking about for a long time, "Brother only wants three months, and I will pay you back after three months."
"Three months?" Li Yunze looked thoughtful. "If it's only three months, that would make sense. But if you gave me everything and suddenly became rich three months later, wouldn't it be even more suspicious?"
"So, I said, I'm going to Bianliang City." Ximen Qing, with twinkling eyes, chuckled, "I'm going to Bianliang City to make a fortune. There are countless rich people there. Who would know where my money comes from?"
"Haha~~~"
Li Yunze, who had a shrewd look on his face, immediately sneered, "If the official took my treasure basin and went to Bianliang City, never to return, where would I cry?"
As he said, this is really what Ximen Qing planned.
Of course, you can't say that directly, you have to be coaxed hard.
"Look what brother said." Ximen Qing waved his hand with a smile, "Of course you and I will go to Bianliang City together. After three months, I will be a rich man in Bianliang City, and brother will take the treasure back to Qinghe County."
Having said this, Ximen Qing fell to his knees, grabbed Li Yunze's sleeves and begged, "Good brother, please have mercy on my poor brother, please help me."
As long as you learn the spells and get the treasure, I will fly away and you will never find me in this life!
"This." Li Yunze looked embarrassed. "Three months."
"Good brother." Ximen Qing took two steps closer and said with a smile, "Don't make a decision in a hurry. It's getting late today, so you can rest in your room. I'll ask your sister-in-law to bring you soup."
"Okay. Okay."
Wu Yueniang's soup is indeed delicious, with a moderate taste and consistency, completely in line with Cao Thief's preferences.
Even Li Yunze had to praise Wu Yueniang, who was wiping away tears, saying, "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good."
The next day, when he saw Ximen Qing coming over with a smile again, Li Yunze felt a little embarrassed.
This is the legendary saying that grabbing people is short of hand and eating people is short of mouth.
After eating the soup cooked by Wu Yueniang, Li Yunze also felt a little short-tempered.
But he still didn't respond directly, he was still trying to evade, making it clear that he didn't want to lend out last week's treasure.
Ximen Qing, who was already fascinated, was really full of action and quickly asked Li Jiaoer from the second room to bring soup to Li Yunze.
Then there was Zhuo Diu'er from the third room. This girl was even sick. Li Yunze, who continued to embody the Jian'an character and imitated Wei Wu in wielding a whip, swung his whip and angrily accused Ximen Qing of being inhumane.
Then Ximen Qing called for friends and kept inviting prominent figures in the county to be guests.
He publicly stated that he and Wu Erlang were like brothers and were life and death brothers. He planned to go to Bianliang City to do big business, and left everything in his family to be taken care of by Wu Erlang.
Even all the followers, except Count Ying, were transferred to Li Yunze.
Although everyone found it strange, it was clear that Ximen Qing did not seem to be crazy, and they also knew that he did have some connections in Bianliang City, and no one would cause trouble.
Ximen Qing, who took the initiative to finish everything, stared at Li Yunze eagerly, like a puppy begging for a reward from its master.
"Alas~~~"
Li Yunze, who had been wielding the whip all night, let out a long sigh.
"Master, you really, really want to force me to death."
"Hey hey hey." Ximen Qing rubbed his hands and eyes and laughed out loud. "Brother Wu, I'm only borrowing it for three months. The baby is still yours, and everything I have in Qinghe County is also yours."
"Why."
Li Yunze, with his hands behind his back, was pacing back and forth with a frown on his face, obviously feeling agitated.
"That's all." Li Yunze sighed, "For the sake of the high official's sincerity, I will give my precious three months' income to the high official."
Hearing this, Ximen Qing could not hide his disappointment.
What he wants is to learn the treasure's magic spell so that he can possess it forever.
If you only give three months' income, it will definitely be a lot, but compared to the cornucopia, it's nothing.
His eyes flickered, and after a moment he nodded with a smile, "Okay, thank you brother. Let's set off immediately and go to Bianliang City together."
You have to eat the food one bite at a time and do the things one by one.
Just coax Li Yunze out first, and then find a way to learn the spell.
Without the magic spell, the basin is of no use.
Seeing the progress of the matter, Ximen Qing, who was overjoyed, warmly entertained Li Yunze at home, and told everyone in the family that he was going to Bianliang City to conquer the world. From now on, everything in this family will belong to the second brother Wu.
You must try your best
Serve like this.
Everyone in the house had been clearly arranged by him, so naturally no one dared to say anything, and they all enthusiastically flattered Li Yunze. Ximen Qing on the side was not annoyed at all when he saw it, but instead laughed and joked to help.
Li Yunze, who had been whipping all night, yawned early the next morning and took Ximen Qing and Count Ying to Zishi Street.
After saying goodbye to Wu Dalang, he wrapped the basin he made last week in a package and got on his horse neatly.
"Brother, we didn't bring any expenses." Ximen Qing kept his promise and left all his wealth to Li Yunze. He took nothing with him except a suit of clothes and a horse.
As for helping Earl Xianying, he has always been a freeloader, so where does he have any money?
Li Yunze smiled and patted the baby on his back, "With this baby here, you can have as much as you want."
