He didn't understand why something like this happened to him.
He is just a boy in Baihualou, and he has never done anything bad in his daily life.
It's nothing more than helping the consul clean up drunkards who are in debt, suppressing and suppressing ignorant girls...
This shouldn't be considered a heinous thing, after all, I would go to the Bodhisattva Temple to worship when I had time, and the money I offered for incense in a year was not even a hundred cents, but seventy or eighty cents.
Even the monks in the temple call him a good person, and presumably he is recognized by the Bodhisattva. He is not said to be free from illness or disaster in this life, but he should not suffer from such a disaster.
Guan Laosan thought this and became increasingly angry.
I thought it would be a good job to ask for money from the Prince's Mansion - before Li Mulin died, Li Danqing spent a lot of money. If the boy who came to collect wine money was lucky and met Li Shizi and was in a good mood, he would definitely reward him with money.
It may be seven or eight taels, or as many as dozens of taels. You must know that even if you work in a place like Baihua Building, there is always money to be made, and you can only get four or five taels of silver in a month.
And if you go to Li Danqing's place, you can get a reward equivalent to one month or even half a year. Who doesn't want such a good thing?
Guan Laosan spent some time and agreed to give the leader a 50-50 share of the stolen goods after he received the reward.
With the idea of getting rich overnight, he came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion happily, and respectfully explained his purpose. He thought that the next step would be the time to get his due reward, but he didn't want to...
After he explained his purpose, he witnessed an epic... massacre!
…
Yesterday at Baihua Tower, Prince Li, who was not afraid of the prince's retainers and even dared to say such treacherous words as Wuyang's law in front of everyone, was beaten by a few girls who looked cute.
The falling flowers and flowing water wailed endlessly.
At that moment, after a brief moment of astonishment, many thoughts flashed through Guan Laosan's mind.
Li Danqing has always had a good reputation. Once at a banquet table, a rather prominent young man said something that was not too outrageous but was indeed insulting to Li Danqing. Li Danqing was beaten on the spot until his mouth and nose bleeded.
He rested at home for a month before going out to meet people. Li Danqing's ruthlessness is evident.
And looking at the way Li Danqing was being chased and beaten by several women at this moment, it was clear that he was extremely henpecked. The way he was hiding, wailing and begging for mercy at the same time looked even more familiar, and it was definitely not a habit developed overnight. But like this
There have never been rumors about this matter in Wuyang City before. Does that mean that everyone who knows about this before has...
Thinking of this, Guan Laosan shuddered, his face suddenly turned pale, and his body even trembled a little.
…
A full half hour.
Liu Yanzhen, Xia Xianyin and others finally lost most of their bad spirits.
In addition, Luo Anan was having a fight with Jiang Yu, who didn't want to see Li Danqing being affected.
Prince Li was finally freed from the clutches of several people. He got up from the ground with a bruised face and a bruised face. He made another vow that he would never go to the land of smoke and willows again, which finally put an end to the matter.
Then Prince Li seemed to remember Guan Laosan who was still waiting at the door of the mansion.
Li Shizi tidied up his appearance and tried several times, but failed to remove the footprints on his clothes. He could only smile and came to Guan Laosan with a slightly swollen cheek.
He probably also felt that the scene of being chased and beaten violently by several girls just now was too embarrassing, and Prince Li, who was not too ashamed, also felt a little embarrassed on his face.
He forced what he thought was a kind smile on his face to cover up his embarrassment.
only
Little did he know that such a smile looked rather sinister in Guan Laosan's eyes.
"Are you from Baihualou?" Li Danqing asked.
"Exactly, exactly." After hearing this, Guan Laosan came back from his thoughts and nodded hurriedly.
"How much does it cost?" Li Danqing asked again.
"A total of four thousand seven hundred taels." Guan Laosan arched his body and responded in a low voice.
"Four thousand seven hundred taels!" As soon as these words came out, before Li Danqing could respond, Liu Yanzhen and others behind him exclaimed, their eyes widened, and they stared at Li Danqing and Guan Laosan with an incredible look.
.
Song Tong'er had a hot temper, and immediately stepped forward and said: "Four thousand seven hundred taels? Did you go to eat money last night? Can you spend so much money in one night?"
It's not surprising that Song Tong'er made such a fuss. You must know that even in a royal city like Wuyang City where every inch of land is precious, 4,700 taels of silver is enough to buy a good second-entry courtyard in a prime location, and even pay for it.
There will be a surplus. If this money is given to ordinary people, a family of three will be prosperous and wealthy for a lifetime. But if they can live peacefully for four or five years, there will definitely be no big problem.
Even with Song Tong'er's fairly good status in the Yaoxu Sword Sect, her monthly salary is only twenty or thirty taels.
No wonder she was so surprised when she heard that Li Danqing spent 4,700 taels of silver in one night.
But when Li Danqing heard this, he glanced at Song Tong'er quite dissatisfiedly, as if he wanted to regain the face he had lost after being beaten up by everyone. At that time, Prince Li made a serious face.
"Otherwise, you women just have long hair and short knowledge?"
"It's just a few thousand taels of silver, what's all this fuss about?"
Li Danqing said this, and Zhou Qiushen standing next to him also nodded secretly.
Although it is true that Zhou Qiushen likes these girls, he also hopes that Li Danqing can marry them all and open up branches for the Li family as soon as possible. He is also happy to see them discipline Li Danqing.
But deep down, I don't agree with Liu Yanzhen and others' "rude" approach...
At least in front of outsiders, you still have to give your eldest son some face.
So at this time, the old housekeeper also turned his head towards the girls and echoed: "Don't be surprised, this little money is nothing to the Prince's Mansion."
"When the prince had the most children, he spent 70,000 taels of silver a day, but as long as the prince is happy, it is not a big deal for the general and the prince's mansion."
Everyone who heard this suddenly looked stunned - although they had heard about Li Danqing's extravagant spending in Wuyang City early on, they also heard Li Danqing boast about these experiences when he was in Yangshan.
But most of the time, they all felt that there was more or less exaggeration in it. At this moment, when Zhou Qiushen stopped talking, they realized what it means to be "a man with no false reputations".
Li Shizi, who had always been built with exaggeration, was naturally very satisfied with everyone's performance. Li Danqing, who had calmed everyone down, felt that the wounds on his body didn't seem to hurt that much.
Zhou Qiushen also felt secretly relieved that he had found a place for the prince, and he also felt that he was worthy of the general.
"Well, Uncle Zhou, give him the money. By the way, it's not easy for this brother to come here. Let's give him a hundred taels of reward." Li Danqing waved his hand and said at this time.
Guan Laosan was shocked when he heard this, and all his worries disappeared at this moment. He raised his head with hope and looked at Zhou Qiushen next to Li Danqing. The burning color in his eyes was more intense than when he saw the flowers blooming in Baihua Tower.
When you are a girl, you need to be a little warmer.
But Zhou Qiushen, who had been smiling happily just now, was stunned at this moment. He turned his head to look at Li Danqing and blinked: "Shall I... give you money?"
The weirdness in Zhou Qiushen's expression and tone made Li Danqing feel nervous. He felt something was wrong, but he still said calmly: "Of course it's Uncle Zhou."
Come on, isn’t it always Uncle Zhou who is in charge of our money in our Li family?”
Zhou Qiushen blinked his eyes again, with a somewhat confused look on his face: "But..."
"But since the general's death, the government has had no income... I don't have any money to manage..."
"Besides, has the prince forgotten that when you left, I told you that we only have ten taels of silver left in our house..."
When Guan Laosan heard this, his heart thumped, and he turned his head to look at Li Danqing.
That look of confusion and confusion made Prince Li secretly feel a little worried on his face. He hurriedly leaned into Zhou Qiushen's ear and whispered: "Uncle Zhou, don't be joking. My father has stolen so many gold and silver treasures. Quan Dou
I have actually seen the treasure house locked in the backyard, so I took out some of it and sent him away."
Hearing this, Zhou Qiushen also leaned into Li Danqing's ear and said softly: "The prince only knows one thing, but not the other."
"The items in the warehouse are just a few worth hundreds of taels of silver, and the items inside are all junk. The master put them there purely for appearance."
"What!" When Li Danqing heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and his voice increased several times.
"Where did the money go!?"
Li Danqing, who had been thinking about returning to Wuyang City and relying on the gold and silver treasures in his warehouse to show off his skills, heard this and ignored the presence of outsiders. He suddenly became furious and asked sternly at that time.
"Your Majesty...Have you forgotten how much money your family has spent over the years..." Zhou Qiushen said a little aggrievedly.
Li Danqing was startled, and his face suddenly became a little confused, but he said: "How many can there be... only tens of thousands at most, ahem, a few million taels..."
"One thousand seven hundred and two hundred and forty-three thousand three hundred taels..." Zhou Qiushen took out a stack of account books from his arms at this time and said with all his treasures,
With such a determined attitude, Li Danqing couldn't find the courage to refute for a while, so he just muttered guiltily: "No... not that much..."
In the entire Wuyang Dynasty, the annual tax revenue was only 40,000 taels. The wealth accumulated by the Li family was actually extremely shocking. The expenses of Prince Li over the years alone were enough to feed a family.
The elite army of 100,000 people lasted for several years. From this, we can also see how extravagant Li Shizi's life was in Wuyang City.
But a good man does not mention his former bravery.
Today's Prince Li has no intention to miss his life back then. The current predicament is enough for Prince Li to have a good drink.
After he realized that Zhou Qiushen was not joking with him, he looked a little embarrassed.
"No, if the news about having no money gets out, how will I, Prince Li, behave in the future?" Li Danqing muttered, his brows darkened, and his face looked a little sinister.
He gritted his teeth and thought like this, as if he had made an extremely important decision.
He shamelessly turned his head to look at Guan Laosan and said, "How about..."
"Two days of rest?"
Just when he said these words, Li Shizi was stunned, but he saw that Guan Laosan, who was still standing in front of him just now, seemed to have seen a ghost. He didn't give Li Shizi any response at all, and ran out in a crawl.
A few feet away.
No matter how much Prince Li shouted, the boy from Baihualou didn't want to look back. Instead, he ran a little faster and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Danqing stared blankly at the departing figure of Guan Laosan. After a while, he came back to his senses and sighed sincerely: "Wuyang City is Wuyang City..."
"Is this brothel turtle's consciousness so high?"
"Those who know how to sympathize with the heroes who save the country..."
"It is my great fortune, Wu Yang, to have such an awakening..."
