"..." After hearing the words, Xiutai was silent for a while, then shook her head sadly:
"But I can't write a book like that.
I always felt that once I wrote that kind of book, something was missing. "
That kind of thing is called integrity! [Solemn declaration: I also lost this thing, if you find it, please bring it back for me, thank you. 】
"Oh, if you can't write it, then don't write it." After Su Mu smiled lightly and shook his head, he suddenly seemed to think of something, and sighed melancholy.
People are always unknowingly influenced by reality, and gradually give up many things that they should insist on, and live less and less like themselves.
There are very few people who stick to their own opinions like Xiucai.
"But..." Xiucai was embarrassed when he heard this:
"If I don't write it, won't I have to pay liquidated damages?
Aunt Fan wanted 1000 taels of silver, where did she get so much money? "
His current total assets are only more than 100 taels, which is still his remuneration for copying cheats, and he really can't afford 1000 taels.
"1000 taels? Ha ha! What a big tone!" Su Mu sneered, and waved to the scholar:
"Xiu Cai, come here with your ear, I will teach you a way."
Afterwards, Su Mu lay beside the scholar and whispered something.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Xiucai's eyes became brighter the more he listened, and finally he couldn't help but nodded again and again:
"Why didn't I think of this way earlier?
Thanks a lot, I'll do it now! "
After finishing speaking, he dragged Xiao Guo and ran out.
......
In the afternoon, the guests had already finished their lunch and left, and the inn was empty.
At this moment, a lady in her 60s dressed in silk came in from the outside.
After entering, she didn't speak, but looked at the inn first, with a look of disgust in her eyes.
He even covered his nose with a handkerchief, as if he didn't want to breathe the same air as everyone else.
This person is the bookseller Aunt Fan!
"What about people? Where did they all die?!"
"Come here..." Xiucai and Xiao Guo, who had already been prepared, ran out immediately.
Afterwards, Xiucai nodded and bowed like a waiter in a shop, and greeted him with a smile:
"Ms. Fan, you are here, please sit down."
As he spoke, he diligently cleaned the stool for Mrs. Fan and asked her to sit down.
"Hmph." Aunt Fan cast a disgusted glance at the scholar, sat down, and said in a pretentious manner:
"Scholar, have you written the book I asked you to write?"
"This..." Xiucai's expression was a little unnatural, and after rubbing his hands in embarrassment, he bowed to Aunt Fan:
"Aunt Fan, please forgive me, I really can't write the kind of book you want.
Or... shall we break the contract? "
As he spoke, he took out a large ingot of silver from his cuff and put it on the table:
"This is your deposit, please keep it."
"Hmph!" Aunt Fan glanced at Yin Zi, then sneered disdainfully:
"Xiu Cai, are you afraid that you made a mistake?
We agreed that if you don't finish the book in the end, you have to compensate me for all the losses. "
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
As she spoke, she came up with a small abacus out of nowhere, and after "crackling" calculations for a while, she slapped it on the table:
"Publicity fee, engraving fee, plus the expenses of handling everywhere, the total is about 2000 taels of silver.
The aunt doesn't cheat you, I'll give you a 1000% discount, and you can just give [-] taels! "
After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand:
"Take the silver!"
"Ms. Fan, we have to be reasonable!" Xiucai became anxious when she heard Mrs. Fan asking for money, and retorted with a blushing face and thick neck:
"You and I both know what the real content of the contract is!
It was you who modified the contract privately, and it has nothing to do with me!
It is my utmost benevolence to return your deposit!
If you make further progress, I... I will report to the police and arrest you! "
When Xiucai said the last sentence, although his voice was stern, it was unavoidable that he was a bit harsh.
"Report to the official? Hahaha..." Aunt Fan saw this, and immediately burst out laughing wildly:
…
"If you have the guts, go ahead and report to the police!"
As she spoke, she sneered, took out the contract and slapped it on the table:
"We have clearly written in black and white, even if we go to the Yamen, I have nothing to say!
also......"
Having said that, she slightly raised her head, glanced at Xiucai, and proudly said:
"I'm not afraid to tell you, there are people above me!
Even if I really report to the government, no one can touch me! "
"..." Xiucai seemed to be frightened, and after a long silence with his head lowered, he asked softly:
"So...you admit that you changed the contract?"
"Heh, are you trying to talk to me? Kid, you're still young!" After sneering disdainfully, Aunt Fan looked around and saw no one, so she dared to reassure and boldly mock:
"But even if you can get the words out, so what?
I'm not afraid to tell you that the reason why I tricked you into signing that contract is because I took a fancy to the land of this inn! "
As she spoke, she sneered and pointed to the ground of the inn:
"I have inquired a long time ago, although this inn belongs to someone else, the title deed is in your hands.
As long as you hand over the title deed honestly, this matter will be over.
Otherwise, I will sue you to the Yamen, there is no one above me! "
"You mean that the reason why you changed the contract is because of the title deed in my hand?" Xiucai asked with a puzzled expression, looking at Aunt Fan with a smile.
"Oh, that's right!" Aunt Fan, who felt that she had won the game, no longer concealed it, nodded calmly, and said mockingly:
"I never intended to publish a book for you from the beginning.
Throw your broken book to the beggar, and the beggar doesn't even bother to read it.
If it wasn't for the title deed in your hand, I wouldn't bother to lie to you! "
As she said that, she patted the table, her face turned cold:
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, and quickly take out the title deed!
Otherwise, I will take you to see the officer, there are people above me! "
Chapter 221 Excited Lao Xing!Obtain the magic power of indestructibility of King Kong! [First update! 】
"Hahaha..." As soon as Mrs. Fan finished speaking, a devilish laugh suddenly came from behind the stairs on the second floor.
Afterwards, Lao Xing, who was holding a pair of shackles, walked out with a big smile:
"My God, finally another big case! Thank you."
As he spoke, he slapped the shackles in his hand on the table, and looked at Aunt Fan with joy on his face:
"Did you bring it yourself, or did I bring it for you?"
"You...what are you going to do?!" Aunt Fan panicked when she saw Lao Xing's head-hunting costume.
However, then she suddenly became tough again:
"I warn you, don't mess around, there are people above me!"
"Someone? Hahaha..." Lao Xing laughed in his characteristic voice, bared his yellow teeth, grabbed Aunt Fan's arm, and said with a smile:
"Don't say there are people, even if there is a god! Handcuff you!"
Lao Xing grabbed the shackles, handcuffed Aunt Fan's arm, and dragged her towards the Yamen.
While being dragged, Aunt Fan kept shouting:
"Let go of me, there is someone above me, there is someone above me..." "Seven Four Three"
"Hahaha..." After seeing this funny scene, Xiao Guo and Xiucai looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"..." But after laughing for a while, the two stopped laughing at the same time, and unconsciously looked at the ingot of silver on the table.
"Ahem..." Xiao Guo coughed twice, then quietly walked to the table:
"Xiu Cai, you have nothing to do here, go back and rest."
After finishing speaking, she was about to reach out to grab the ingot of silver.
"Don't move!!!" Xiucai suddenly yelled!
"What...what are you doing?" Xiao Guo was stunned, and stammered as he watched the scholar.
"It's nothing, it's just that I think what you said is quite right." After shaking his head, Xiucai grabbed the silver at a very fast speed, turned his head and left:
"It's true that I have nothing to do here, so farewell!"
After finishing speaking, he quickly ran back to his room, leaving only Xiao Guo who was itching with hatred:
"You're going to kill me!"
After cursing angrily, Xiao Guo grabbed the broom and swept the floor angrily.
She was angry, so she swept very hard, and after a while, the dust she swept up in the inn was flying like a thick fog.
"Ahem..." Suddenly, there was a coughing sound from the door:
"Are you cleaning up?"
"Who?!" Xiao Guo, who was in a bad mood, asked impatiently, and threw the broom:
"It's already past noon, why did you come to eat?"
"Ahem!" The man coughed a few more times, choked by the dust, and exited the inn, frowning and saying in a deep voice:
"If the king's news is correct, you should be Guo Juxia's daughter Guo Furong, right?"
"My lord?" Xiao Guo was taken aback when he heard this claim, and then hurried to the door to have a look.
I saw a majestic middle-aged man standing there frowning.
This person is exactly Zhu Shishi!
"It turned out to be the god of iron courage, I'm sorry." Xiao Guo was not afraid, and after bowing his hands carelessly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the small courtyard, and shouted:
"Xiao Su, God of Tiedan is here, hurry up to pick up the guests!"
"Huh..." Just as Xiao Guo finished speaking, a breeze blew by, and Su Mu suddenly appeared in the inn.
However, he ignored Zhu's disregard, and glared at Xiao Guo instead:
"When will you cure your broken mouth?
What do you say come out to pick up guests? !We are an inn, not a brothel! "
