City of the Heavens System
Chapter 179
Seeing that the shopkeeper misunderstood what he meant.Ning Caichen didn't care about the bookcase either, he quickly shook his hands and said, "No...boss, I'm here to collect the bill from Jibaozhai!"
"Receive the bill!?" There was a disdainful sneer from the waiter in the shop, and then he threw the bookcase on the ground when he saw him!
Seeing this, Ning Caichen hurried forward, picked up the bookcase from the ground, and complained dissatisfiedly: "The waiter in this store is too unruly!"
When he walked back to the counter, the shopkeeper looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why are the people who come to collect the bill different each time?"
Ning Caichen put the bookcase at his feet, and replied casually, "That person was killed last time!"
Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately sneered and said: "Anyway, you will be killed sooner or later, so you can just take advantage of me, don't accept it!"
Ning Caichen didn't seem to understand the sarcasm in the other party's words, while searching for the account book in the bookcase, he resolutely refused: "Shopkeeper, stop joking!"
After a while, he took out the ledger and flipped through a few pages at will. Xie Yan took a quick look at it carefully, and found that the ledger was not like it was shot in the movie. Blurred, but the content inside is clearly visible.
Ning Caichen, who was flipping through the account book, suddenly stopped, pointed to one of the pages and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, it says on the book that I owe Jibaozhai a total of 630 taels with interest. This debt is paid off, and I will return this page to you!"
Hearing that he owed so much money, the shopkeeper obviously couldn't accept it. You know, this is his income for more than half a year! "Ah?! How can you owe so much, I don't believe it! Unless you show me your account book to verify the authenticity!"
Seeing the other party's doubts, Ning Caichen quickly swore: "Written in black and white! Shopkeeper, you really owe us Jibaozhai this money!"
The shopkeeper was silent, and then suddenly roared: "I don't believe it! I want to see the account book!" After speaking, he wanted to reach out and grab the account book.
How could Ning Caichen think that the other party would come out like this, and he couldn't react for a while. Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to succeed, he even showed a tricky smile on his face. And to cover his ears, pinch his hand!
"Guest officer, what does this mean?" the shopkeeper turned to look at him and said "doubtfully".
"Shopkeeper, you are also a smart person, so you don't need me to explain it! After all, to put it bluntly, you will lose face!" Xie Yan said with a half-smile.
Hearing this, the smile on the shopkeeper's face froze immediately. He never expected that the trick that he came up with on the spur of the moment would be seen through so easily by the other party, but he still said stubbornly: "Guest officer, what do you mean by that? Why can't I understand? Also, can you let go of your hand?"
"Don't understand!?" Xie Yan sneered and said, "Hehe! It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just throw the inkstone in your left hand aside, and I will naturally let go of your hand!"
"Ah?!" The shopkeeper's face changed drastically!
"What inkstone?" Ning Caichen asked curiously.
"Hmph! See for yourself what he is holding in his left hand!" Xie Yan snorted coldly.
Hearing this, Ning Caichen immediately took a step forward, took a closer look, and saw that the shopkeeper was holding an inkstone in his left hand, but the strange thing was that the ink in the inkstone had been poured into the palm of his hand!
Ning Caichen is not stupid, combined with the fact that the shopkeeper wanted to snatch his account book at the beginning, he suddenly understood, it turned out that the shopkeeper deliberately poured ink on his palm!In this way, if he snatched his account book just now, as long as he randomly scratched the account book twice with his ink-stained palm, this would cause the account to be blurred, and he would have reason to forfeit the arrears up!
Thinking of this, Ning Caichen pointed at him and said angrily: "Shopkeeper, the most important thing in business is honesty. How are you different from a robber if you act like this!"
The shopkeeper saw that this was the case, so he stopped pretending. He changed from his peaceful and rich appearance to a rascal and said carelessly: "I have money, I have enough money, I also accept this account, but I just don't want to give it to you, what can you do to me?"
"You!" The other party acted so roguely, Ning Caichen really had no way to deal with it for a while.
Seeing this scene, Xie Yan turned his head to look at him with a slight smile, and said: "Brother Ning, do you still remember what I said? It is the grandson when borrowing money, and the ancestor when paying back the money!"
When Ning Caichen thought of his dubiousness at that time, he felt ashamed!Just about to say something, unexpectedly the shopkeeper said first: "Hey, this brother is still insightful, I am really your ancestor now... ah!"
The cry of pain suddenly sounded, Xie Yan looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper, please continue your performance, but next time it won't be a broken finger!"
It turned out that he actually broke off the little finger of the opponent's right hand!
The shopkeeper knew that he had encountered a hard stubble, so even though he was in pain with tears and nose flowing, he still had to endure the severe pain and beg for mercy: "Master, please forgive me! The little one knows his mistake! The little one knows his mistake!"
Xie Yan smiled lightly and said, "You're right! What's wrong is that we shouldn't ask you to collect the bill!"
The shopkeeper was quick-witted, endured the pain of amputating his finger again, opened the cabinet in front of him, took out a stack of bank notes from inside, handed it to Xie Yan tremblingly, and said flatteringly: "Master , This is an arrears! In fact, I have already prepared the money, and I am ready to wait for the two of you to come to collect the debt!"
Xie Yan didn't answer, but turned to look at Ning Caichen and said, "Brother Ning, let's check the account!"
"Oh!" Ning Caichen responded, then took the banknote, counted it carefully, and nodded towards Xie Yan after confirming that it was correct, and then wanted to put the banknote into the bookcase beside him, Unexpectedly, Xie Yan suddenly stopped him with his voice!
"Brother Ning, wait a minute!"
Ning Caichen paused for cashier receipt, then looked at him suspiciously and said, "What's wrong?"
"Brother Ning, if you can trust me, give me the bank note in your hand first!" Xie Yan said.
After hearing this, Ning Caichen didn't say anything, and directly handed him the bank note in his hand.After all, without Xie Yan's help, he wouldn't be able to collect this debt.What's more, there is also a bonus of favorability, so I still trust Xie Yan who helped him get back the debt.
Xie Yan took the banknote, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Master, the weight of your banknote is wrong! It's so light, how can it be 600 taels, at most 300 taels!"
"Ah?!" The shopkeeper looked confused, it was the first time he had heard that the value of banknotes was measured by weight!Based on his own experience in the arena, he didn't understand that the other party was cheating, and it was blatantly cheating, so he almost didn't say it directly!
"Obviously..." I just wanted to argue a few words, but when I saw the half-smile on the other party's face and the ruthless method of attacking, I quickly changed my tone and forced a smile: "This master is right, just now The weight of the bank note given to you is indeed wrong, please wait a moment, and I will make it up for you!"
After finishing speaking, under Ning Caichen's incredulous eyes, he took out the same amount of banknotes again, and handed them to Xie Yan with respectful hands.
"Well, that's about the same!" Xie Yan nodded in satisfaction, and then he first returned the stack of bank notes in his hand to Ning Caichen who was standing aside with a dull face, and then handed over the bank notes from the shopkeeper. He took the ticket without any hassle, then turned around and put it into the interspatial ring.
After finishing all this, he waved his hand. Suddenly, a brilliance visible to the naked eye flashed, and then circled around the shopkeeper's right palm for a few times, and then disappeared!
Seeing this miraculous scene, both Ning Caichen and the shopkeeper were stunned, their eyes fixed on the place where Guanghua disappeared.It wasn't until Xie Yan said a word that the two of them came back to their senses.
"Boss, these bank notes will be treated as your medical expenses!"
"Ah? Medical expenses?" The shopkeeper looked confused, subconsciously scratched his head with his right hand, and said in his heart, "I am free from illness and disaster, that is, you broke my finger, so I need to ask a doctor to help me." Heal it, otherwise, why would I need to see a doctor! But then again, why can't I feel the pain of my severed finger now?" After speaking, he moved his broken finger subconsciously.
"Huh?!" There was a sound of surprise, and then the shopkeeper carefully put down his right hand. Until then, he was shocked to find that the finger that had been broken was as good as before, without any signs of breaking!
"This, this!" The shopkeeper stammered for a long while before uttering a complete sentence.
Seeing this scene, Xie Yan smiled lightly, then looked at Ning Caichen and said, "Brother Ning, since the bill has been received now, why don't we find a place to settle down and have a good rest!" After speaking, he strode towards the door .
"Ah? Oh! Good!" Ning Caichen was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly followed, leaving the shopkeeper alone looking at Xie Yan's leaving back in awe.
When Xie Yan walked out of the restaurant for a while, a pleasant system notification sounded next to his ears!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the second task: assisting Ning Caichen to go to Guobei County to successfully collect the debt! Reward 500 survival points!"
Xie Yan was happy in his heart, and said to himself: "This wave is not a loss, it doesn't matter, I have earned survival points, and I have earned 600 taels! It seems that the purchasing power of 600 taels is really not small in this era!"
At this time, Ning Caichen's shout came from behind him!
"Brother Xie, go slowly and wait for me!"
As soon as the words finished, he was seen carrying the bookcase, struggling to squeeze out from the turbulent crowd, standing still in front of the panting Xie Yan.
"Huh! Huh!" Ning Caichen took a few deep breaths, and after his breathing became a little more stable, he gave him a deep salute and said gratefully: "Brother Xie, thank you just now! If it wasn't for you, I guess it would be absolutely impossible for me to recover this debt!"
"Receive the bill!?" There was a disdainful sneer from the waiter in the shop, and then he threw the bookcase on the ground when he saw him!
Seeing this, Ning Caichen hurried forward, picked up the bookcase from the ground, and complained dissatisfiedly: "The waiter in this store is too unruly!"
