The old horse stood up with a trembling head, pretending to kneel down.
Tang Ming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Ma, you don't have to be like this."
"That's right. You saved my family, Lao Ma."
Lao Ma Tou insisted on kneeling down, but Tang Ming blocked him and naturally he failed to kneel down, but he still bowed and saluted.
With this 1.8 million, his son would be saved.
Originally, I was already disheartened and had fallen into despair, but now I took a turn for the better and saw hope again.
"Brother Ma, where is your home?"
Tang Ming asked with a smile: "Actually, the main reason why I came here this time is to look for some medicinal materials. You are proficient in collecting medicinal materials, so I will bother you when the time comes."
"Hmm, I'm living in Jiangtai County recently. Boss, you can call me anytime. I'll be on call."
Lao Ma Tou nodded quickly: "By the way, boss, I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My surname is Tang."
"It turns out to be Mr. Tang."
Old Ma Tou told him his home address.
As he spoke, he prepared and packaged the items on the stall.
suddenly.
An inappropriate voice came from the crowd.
"Old Ma Tou, who allowed you to set up a stall here?"
A fat man came out.
This plump man is not a Miao citizen, but a Han citizen. He is wearing a brocade Chinese tunic suit and has many antique decorations hanging around his waist. At first glance, he is worth a lot of money.
The plump man walked forward with a figure-footed step, his left hand on his hip, and his right hand holding a topaz pipe, puffing away at the smoke. He also wore a huge gold-inlaid jade finger ring on his thumb, which looked very heroic.
"Wang, Butler Wang..." Old Ma Tou's face changed slightly after seeing the fat man.
"Tsk, tsk, Lao Ma Tou, you are now open for business."
Butler Wang puffed out the smoke and said with a smile: "You should know why I came. Last month you borrowed tens of thousands from our 'Haoling Pavilion' and promised to repay the principal with interest at the end of the month, but now it's overdue.
"
Old Ma Tou said weakly: "Steward Wang, I, I only borrowed 30,000 yuan..." "It's true that the principal amount is 30,000 yuan, but the original interest, plus liquidated damages and overdue interest, add up to a total of 100,000 yuan.
, are you ready to give it today?"
Butler Wang smiled and spoke, the fat on his face was squeezed together, and his eyes were squeezed into slits.
behind.
Several thugs dressed in black also slowly gathered around.
"One hundred thousand?"
Old Ma Tou was startled: "How could there be so many?"
"Look at what you said, our 'Haoling Pavilion' is not a philanthropist. Naturally, we will charge interest when we borrow money from you. Besides, you have also breached the contract. Knowing that the principal of 30,000 yuan cannot be recycled, how much loss has been caused to me.
?"
"Oh, right."
Butler Wang slapped his forehead and said with a sinister smile: "You haven't paid the stall fee for several months. Others pay when they come to Wumen Town to set up stalls. It's unreasonable for you not to pay."
"I did the math... Well, the principal, interest, liquidated damages and stall fees total about 150,000 yuan."
Within a few minutes.
The price has increased by another 50,000?
Lao Ma Tou had an angry look on his face, clenched his fists and was about to step forward to argue.
"Have you thought about the consequences of causing trouble?"
Butler Wang sneered: "This is Wumen Town, and I am from Haoling Pavilion. If you dare to cause trouble, not to mention that you are not allowed to set up a stall in Wumen Town from now on. Whether you can walk out with a fight today is a dilemma."
"
"Old Ma Tou, don't say you have no money."
Butler Wang smiled evilly and said, "I heard that you just sold a wild ginseng for more than 1.8 million yuan."
During the conversation.
Butler Wang glanced at Tang Ming next to him intentionally or unintentionally, took a sip from his pipe, and exhaled rich white smoke.
Tang Ming was also sizing up the person in front of him.
But his eyes were more focused on the badge on Butler Wang's chest. This badge was a black cloud, exuding a strange aura.
Later.
Tang Ming glanced at the pipe in Butler Wang's hand again, withdrew his gaze and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, are you the chief executive of Wumen Town?"
"I can't really call myself a boss, I just help people manage."
Butler Wang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Dare you ask the boss where you came from?"
Tang Ming smiled and said: "My surname is Tang, I am an individual traveler. I came here just out of curiosity."
"Haha, Boss Tang is so humble. Along the way, you have spent more than two million, and you are even willing to spend 1.8 million to buy things from Lao Ma Tou's stall."
"This is not the work of ordinary people."
Butler Wang said with a sly smile: "Why, could it be that Boss Tang has found a treasure?"
He squatted down without any worries, opened the packaging on Lao Ma Tou's stall, and reached out to inspect the wild ginseng.
Old Ma Tou frowned and reminded: "Steward Wang, the things have been sold to Boss Tang."
"so what?"
Butler Wang sneered: "It's you, Ma Tou, who owes me the money first. Logically speaking, if you don't have the money to pay back, you'll have to pay in kind. It's just that I didn't like it before."
"You..." Old Ma Tou was so angry that his face turned livid.
Not only him, Chu Shanming, Miao Qing and others were also very angry.
Chu Shanming's eyes were cold, and when he was about to come out to teach this man a lesson, he saw Tang Ming shaking his head slightly and stopping him with his eyes.
Tang Ming asked: "Butler Wang also knows medicine?"
"Of course, as I said before, I am from the 'Haoling Pavilion'. Does Haoling Pavilion know? It is the largest medicinal shop in Wumen Town, specializing in recycling and selling high-end herbal medicines."
Butler Wang spoke without looking back.
His attention was still on Lao Ma Tou's stall. He took the wild ginseng and looked at it several times. He frowned slightly, then put down the wild ginseng and looked at other items, his doubts deepening.
He knew how to identify medicinal materials. If there was really something worth 1.8 million in Lao Ma Tou's stall, he would have found a way to get rid of it.
But no! After the appraisal just now, the total value of the things on the stall is only about 300,000 yuan. The most valuable wild ginseng plant is too small, and there is no shortage of high-quality wild ginseng in Miao territory.
Therefore, the real selling price is estimated to be less than 300,000 yuan.
"Boss Tang, this thing is not worth 1.8 million."
Butler Wang weighed the wild ginseng in his hand and looked at Tang Ming.
"I know."
Tang Ming said calmly: "I'm not short of money, I just feel sorry for old Ma Tou and want to help him. Didn't he still owe you 150,000 yuan? I paid it back for him."
Um?
Butler Wang was stunned for a moment and then laughed: "Oh, Boss Tang turns out to be such a kind-hearted person."
Tang Ming didn't waste any time and waved to Liu Wan to transfer the money.
"Tsk tsk, the girls around Boss Tang are really nice, and these bodyguards look pretty awesome too."
Butler Wang looked at the people behind Tang Ming, and his smile became even brighter: "I think I am destined to Boss Tang. Otherwise, could you please move to Haoling Pavilion?"
"Ours are all high-quality medicinal materials, and we also have many elixirs. I guarantee your satisfaction."
"Maybe the medicinal materials that Boss Tang is looking for are sold in our Haoling Pavilion."
Tang Ming pretended to be thoughtful, and then nodded: "If that's the case, you can go and have a look."
While speaking.
He remained calm and used the sound transmission from his soul to remind everyone behind him - "I found a clue to the curse."
"Don't reveal my and General Chu's identities later, Liu Wanziri, and don't call me Master."
