Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 119 Bankruptcy and Elimination of Disasters, Trivial Reasons

Li Ze had finished speaking, Cheng An had no choice but to shake his head helplessly.

Hearing Li Ze's extremely rough roar, everyone immediately turned their attention to Li Ze, and at the same time, the crowd immediately opened a way for Li Ze.

Those thug-like people and the waiter of the bookstore suddenly raised their heads, and looked at Li Ze and Cheng An who suddenly emerged from the crowd.

The thugs looked at Li Ze, who was a head taller than them, and Cheng An, who was much stronger than them, and couldn't help swallowing secretly.

At the same time, the thugs also turned their attention to the waiter, waiting for the waiter to give orders.

The waiter looked at Li Ze and Cheng An, their appearance matched their tone of voice, just such a glance is enough to make ordinary people fear.

The waiter opened his two small eyes, glanced up and down at Li Ze and Cheng An shrewdly, and immediately said impatiently: "What are you doing? At the door of my Lu's Bookstore, you'd better stay out of your own business!"

Relying on his height advantage, Li Ze looked down at the waiter and the thugs with sharp eyes, and immediately cupped his hands towards the waiter and the thugs and said, "No matter what happens, beating people can't solve the problem, right?"

With Li Ze as the leader, the onlookers seemed to be emboldened, and they all shouted, "That's right! Whether it's stealing or robbing, it should be left to the government to decide!"

A middle-aged woman in the crowd was holding a vegetable basket and said angrily: "You have been fighting for so long, but you haven't seen them steal anything!"

Several passers-by around shouted with some dissatisfaction, as if they had long held grudges against Lu's Bookstore's abuse of lynching.

Everyone shouted in dissatisfaction, Li Ze and the shop waiter both looked at each other, the murderous intent looming in their eyes.

"You have to pay a price for being nosy!" The waiter looked at Li Ze jokingly, and at the same time looked at the people around him.

Immediately he said in a high-pitched voice, "These guys accidentally overturned the ink in my Lu's Bookstore, polluting the original book!"

"The original book! You poor and unruly people, do you know how much a book costs?"

The waiter looked at the few scholars curled up on the ground with anger in his eyes, and snapped: "Two thousand coins, now I give you two choices, either give me two years of hard work at Lu's Bookstore as compensation, or give me an IOU. Doubled in half a year!"

"If you are willing to show the limelight, then go ahead and show it, two thousand coins, not one penny less!"

The waiter took small steps, walked up and down among the crowd with an arrogant expression on his face, and gave Li Ze a playful look from time to time.

Two thousand Wen is not something that anyone can casually take out.

Not to mention that anyone is willing to take two thousand Wen for nothing to do a righteous deed.

The waiter obviously knew this truth. Seeing that the crowd had gradually quieted down, the waiter squatted in front of the three scholars, patted their faces and said, "What? Have you figured it out? If you don't think about it, I'll help you think it over!"

"Come on! Keep calling me! Call until they agree!"

Li Ze turned to look at Cheng An and couldn't help but smile lightly. It was only two thousand coins. Others couldn't take it out, but he could still take it out.

"Wait a minute!" Li Ze suddenly shouted: "Isn't it just two thousand coins? Let this scholar go, and I will get you two thousand coins myself!"

When the waiter heard Li Ze's voice, his whole face suddenly twitched.

Is there really a fool in this world who is willing to spend two thousand cash to make a splash?

Several people around looked at Li Ze in astonishment and stunned. Everyone opened their mouths, but they couldn't make any exclamation.

Take two thousand yuan to mind your own business?Where did this wealthy gentleman come from?

Immediately, the waiter rolled his eyes and immediately changed his mouth: "Three thousand Wen!"

"If you want to buy their lives, you need three thousand coins!"

The scholar who was curled up on the ground saw several tall figures not far away in front of him, and suddenly felt hope in his heart. He struggled but failed to get up. He just looked at Li Ze expectantly, hoping to save their lives.

When Cheng An heard that damned waiter's sharp eunuch's voice, he was also very angry. He rolled up his sleeves and boasted, and stepped on the floor with a loud "boom".

"You boy! How can there be any reason to raise the price by sitting on the ground? Two thousand Wen is only two thousand Wen!"

And Li Ze knew that [-] Wen was not a big amount for him, and he was still a traverser with the system in his body, so it was too easy to get [-] Wen.

Then Li Ze stepped forward slightly, blocked Cheng An with one hand, and said with a very relaxed expression: "Okay! Three thousand Wen!"

After saying that, he went straight forward to help the scholars up. While lifting up the scholars, he said loudly without looking at the waiter: "Old Cheng, let him take someone to get it!"

After finishing speaking, Cheng An greeted the waiter, ready to lead someone to withdraw money.

Three thousand coins means three strings, and the usual money weighs nine catties, Li Ze has no plan to recite it for them himself.

Don't be afraid of counter-offering, just be afraid of a one-off price; at this moment, the waiter is also feeling a little uncomfortable, if he knew earlier, he should offer a price of [-] Wen to cheat him out of money!

Although he was extremely annoyed, the waiter couldn't continue to raise the price now, otherwise he would really make the two blacksmiths unhappy. The blacksmith was very vicious when hitting people.

As the waiter returned to the bookstore, the onlookers also scattered like birds and beasts. Except for some people who looked at Li Ze respectfully and praised him, there was no other change.

The common people know very well that the person who casually spends [-] Wen in vain must have an unusual background and is not someone they should contact.

As soon as Li Ze lifted up the three scholars, the scholars quickly fell to their knees. Gongsun Yu bowed down to Li Ze with tears in his eyes and shouted: "My humble Gong Sun Yu, thank you hero! Thank you hero for saving your life! If there is a hero If you need me to wait, you should go through fire and water, and you will do whatever you want!"

"Although I don't have much money now, if I can pass the imperial examination next year, I will definitely repay the hero when I become an official in the court!" Luo Heng was also extremely excited, and his words were slurred on his swollen cheeks.

Zhou Song also knelt down on the ground in a hurry, and thanked him again and again: "This hero can leave a name and a place to live. If I make money in the future, I can repay it!"

Li Ze waved his hands slightly, helped the three of them up again, found a restaurant, ordered food and wine for the three scholars to relieve their physical pain, and immediately asked the three scholars about their backgrounds.

Gong Sunyu did not refuse. The three of them respected Li Ze very much and answered all questions.

"The three of us are from the same hometown, all from Changchi Township in Bashu; we entered Chang'an for the imperial examination next year. After a few months, it was just for name verification. I copied it in the Nalu's Bookstore in Chang'an City. Books make a living, and at the same time study books to prepare for the imperial examination."

"And this morning, my little brother Zhou Song accidentally knocked over the inkstone and polluted the books. The waiter at the bookstore threatened us, either to take money or to do hard labor in the bookstore for two years, and we came here to rush for the exam. , so I wanted to write down an IOU, and pay it back when I make money in the future.”

"But the shopkeeper actually asked me to wait for nine months to come back, and I am three months in arrears. Even if I were to win, it would still take half a year, and I would definitely be deducted countless money. In the future, even for the official position, I would have to pay Couldn't pay it back. So got into a conflict with the store."

While talking, Gongsun Yu bowed his head and sighed again and again, while the other two silently put down their wine glasses and looked at Li Ze helplessly.
