Chapter 242: Blackmail

The goshawk spread its wings and danced among them.

The guest room was completely white, and a majestic goshawk spread its wings and hovered under the roof of the guest room.

While dancing, the goshawk saw the door being knocked open. As if it was frightened, it folded its wings and dived into the white mist.

Then Zhang Yutang's rich and penetrating male voice came from the white mist:

"Miss Qing is here. The clothes and furniture in the house have all been shaken to powder by the Danyuan Gang Qi emanating from me. I am naked now and cannot go out to see people. I asked the girl to help me.

I'll look for some clothes."

Green Snake calmly looked at the white mist covering the sky in front of him. His spiritual consciousness reached out, but he couldn't penetrate the thick white mist at all. He took a step forward and a huge force bounced back.

After distinguishing it, it turned out to be Zhang Yutang's voice, and Green Snake's crisp voice sounded:

"Yutang, just wait, I will go find clothes for you immediately."

She didn't ask why such a thing happened, but just turned around and left, like a good wife and mother taking care of her husband's face.

Soon, Green Snake bought a green shirt from outside and sold the whole set inside and out. She blushed and walked over with the clothes in her hands:

"You control the Danyuan Gangqi, I will throw the things in for you. If they are shattered, no one will buy them for you."

Zhang Yutang: "Okay, Miss Qing, thank you, you can just throw it in."

"Give!"

With a flick of his sleeve, a burst of energy filled the blue shirt and shot into the white mist.

"Okay, I caught it. Miss Qing, please turn around. I have to absorb all the Dan Yuan Gang Qi. Only after absorbing the Dan Yuan Gang Qi can I put on my clothes."

"Of course, if Miss Qing really wants to appreciate my strong body, it's not impossible."

"Only a ghost would want to look at you."

The green snake stamped its feet and turned around, and the white mist billowed behind it. It was like a black cave suddenly appeared in the center of the white mist, and the surrounding white mist rushed toward the center.

The speed of the influx was extremely fast, and it almost disappeared in an instant.

"Okay, Miss Qing, you can turn around now."

Zhang Yutang opened his mouth and absorbed the last mouthful of white mist. With a sway of his body, the green shirt on the ground flew up and was automatically put on.

Turning around, Qing She saw Zhang Yutang dressed in a green shirt, with a jade-like face and a tall nose. His eyes were as bright as lightning, big and piercing.

The whole person stood there, like a tall and handsome green pine, proudly soaring into the clouds, and the aura of floating in the dust naturally exuded. It was heartbreaking.

"Don't look at it, no matter how handsome you are, you can't be eaten."

Zhang Yutang smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, waved in front of Green Snake, and said with a smile:

"If you keep looking at me like this from now on, you'll have to pay for it. Well, we're all acquaintances, and I won't be a big talker. I'll give you a 50% discount. Every time you look at me from now on, I'll charge you a tael."

The money is ready."

"One tael of silver!"

Green Snake looked at Zhang Yutang funny:

"That's it. I don't have to worry about scaring the kids when I go out. I have to ask for money. If I say you give me money, I won't even care to see you. You don't look good, but I'm not going to pull you lightly."

"Forget it if you don't give me money. You have to be careful what you say. At the very least, you can't lie."

Zhang Yutang smiled and said:

"Jiao Rong told me that I am the most handsome man in the world."

Green Snake sneered:

"Sister Jiaorong is such a good person, how could she lie and deceive you?"

"People are jealous of people who are talented, and they are jealous of people who have lived in a clean world. I understand. You don't need to say it anymore."

Zhang Yutang waved his hand, stopped Green Snake who was about to continue talking, and asked:

"Why did you come to my place? Do you have something to ask me about, or what happened? How long will it take for the people of the Tianyou cult to hold a ceremony to worship God Tianyou?"

"A living person accepts incense. I think Tianyou is impatient and is about to die."

Green Snake nodded:

"To accept incense, the gods must live high above the nine heavens and must not collect incense in the mortal world. Living gods in the mortal world cannot accept incense, otherwise it will violate the laws of heaven and the gods."

"However, if Tianyou is just a mortal and has not yet become a god, he can receive incense in the world of mortals, gather immeasurable incense, imbue him with supernatural powers, and become immortal forever. Even if the Emperor of Heaven knows about it, he will have to make him a god.

"

Zhang Yutang nodded and expressed his understanding. Confucian Ancestor was originally a mortal who had never practiced magical powers. However, he later understood the wonderful principles of the world of mortals and wrote countless classics. He is worshiped by future generations to this day and is spread all over the world.

Now I'm afraid he has become a god.

Zi Buyu's strange power confuses the gods, but Confucian Ancestor became a god. It sounds like a joke.

While the two of them were talking, the innkeeper dragged his chubby body and ducked over from the side. With every step he took, his fat balls kept shaking, and he walked tremblingly, like a clumsy penguin.

Seeing that there was nothing in the guest room, only the four walls were left standing. Even the roof was full of pits and pits, as if something had been propped up with great force from the center to the outside.

"My house, my furniture, my life's belongings, are they just gone?"

The sound was like killing a pig, with ups and downs.

But he stayed far away from the green snake. The green snake sneered from a distance and shook the bright green light sword in his hand.

The innkeeper's heart felt cold when he saw this, but for the sake of the inn's loss, he gritted his teeth and bared all his fat:

"This young man is a scholar at first sight. A scholar has a very good heart and loves to reason. If something like this happened, he must feel guilty. As long as I show my sadness, I might be able to gain more.

Silver taels."

"Sir, I have a seventy-year-old mother and a child who is waiting to be fed. I rely on this small shop to make a living. What kind of sin have I done? Why did this happen?"

The fat boss grabbed Zhang Yutang's green shirt, howled, squeezed out a few tears of sadness, wiped the tears on Zhang Yutang's green shirt.

Seeing a mountain of flesh approaching, Zhang Yutang formed a golden elixir. He was in an extraordinary mood, but still felt a lot of pressure. He pulled his clothes with his hand, took two steps back, and grinned:

"Boss, please do the math and see how much your losses will be. If appropriate, I will compensate you immediately and never let you suffer any loss."

The fat innkeeper secretly rejoiced:

"As expected, you are a newbie. I will teach you a lesson so that you can learn a lot. You still need to be more cautious when you go out."

Knowing that he had received compensation, the fat boss became even more motivated, energetic, and powerful when he cried. He was so cruel that he punched himself in the nose with his fist. His nose felt hot and tears flowed down his face.

"Young master is really a good man. He looks like a scholar at first sight. He is polite and elegant. This little shop of mine is not worth much. It only costs a hundred taels of silver if you pay a lot of money."

"One hundred taels of silver?"

Zhang Yutang was startled and looked at the fat boss. He had a fat face and big ears, and looked very honest. A hint of cunning and philistinism flashed through his small eyes from time to time.

After living in the Song Dynasty for such a long time, Zhang Yutang has calculated that at this time in the Song Dynasty, one tael of silver was equivalent to about 600 to 1,300 yuan in RMB, and the fluctuation was relatively large.

But for an ordinary guest room, one hundred taels of silver is equivalent to between 60,000 and 130,000 yuan.

A house like this is simply astronomically expensive.

Even now, an ordinary house costs only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, including everything. Of course, this refers to building a house, not the holy land for the rich in big cities.

"Boss, are you sure it's one hundred taels of silver? You calculated it correctly."

Zhang Yutang raised his head and smiled slightly:

"The "Shi Huo Zhi" mentions that the amount of rice is only six to seven hundred, and the "Zhi Guan Zhi" records that each dou of rice is only thirty taels of silver. You asked me for one hundred taels of silver in one breath, and you treat me as a pedantic scholar who is obsessed with reading. It doesn't make sense.

Shiwu, are you here to kill me on purpose?"

"I am also a person with a good reputation. I am honest and full of righteousness. No matter what, I will not cheat you. Let's go to the county government to distinguish the right from wrong. I will compensate you as much as it should be. If you blackmailed me, how should I be sentenced?

, whatever the sentence is."

"Sir, please spare my life!"

When the fat boss heard Zhang Yutang brought out the records of food and goods, official records, and the price of rice and stone in the market, he immediately knew that he had met a knowledgeable scholar.

When I heard that Zhang Yutang had a great reputation and wanted to take him to the county government office for identification, I immediately panicked.

In the Song Dynasty, the status of businessmen was extremely low. Compared with scholars, they could be said to be as different as clouds and mud. One was above the nine heavens and the other was in the mud. There was no comparison at all.

Once the crime of blackmailing scholars is confirmed, even if he buys the fat boss's body, it may not be able to offset the compensation to Zhang Yutang.

As for scholars, death of starvation is a small matter, but reputation is a big matter.

Zhang Yutang smiled and said:

"Why should I spare your life? I damaged your room and should have compensated you. We just went to the county office to go through the motions to show justice. After all, I am not responsible for the cost of building the house and your various losses.

I don’t know the calculation clearly. If one hundred taels of silver is not enough, wouldn’t it mean that you have to lose money?”

"Young master, I am a scholar and the most reasonable person. How could I do such things to deceive the people? If you say this, you are not insulting my character."

The fat boss suddenly threw himself on the ground, hugged Zhang Yutang's thigh, and burst into tears. This time he really cried:

"Sir, you have a lot of money, and the prime minister can support a boat. This matter is all my fault. I should not have spoken so loudly. I don't want this loss. Please, don't take me to the county government to defend myself."

.”

"Oh, are you blackmailing me?"

Zhang Yutang pretends not to know:

"You, a businessman, seem to be a very honest and honest person. How could you do such unscrupulous things as bullying and blackmailing foreigners?"

"You shouldn't judge a person by his appearance! Sir, I was deceived by lard. Please forgive me this time for the sake of my family and my children."
