Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Once upon a time, there was a businessman from Shanxi who went to the capital for business and stayed in an inn called "Xincheng".

The clothes he wore and the carriage and horses he rode were all luxurious, and he was followed by many servants. He looked like a very wealthy man.

The travelers staying in the inn asked him curiously, what business did he come to the capital for?

The Shanxi businessman said that although he had made a lot of money through business, he always felt that he had no social status, so when he came to the capital, he planned to apply to the court and spend money to buy an official position as usual.

Everyone was envious and exclaimed: Being rich is good! You can buy everything!

One day, a ragged old man who looked very poor came to this Xincheng Inn and said that he came to visit the Shanxi businessman.

However, seeing that he looked like a beggar, the Shanxi guest's servants refused to inform him.

The old man had no choice but to stand stupidly at the door of the inn and wait, hoping to see the Shanxi businessman coming out so that he could meet him.

Hard work paid off, and the old man waited for a long time before finally meeting the Shanxi businessman.

The Shanxi businessman saw that he was an old acquaintance with the old man, but his expression was indifferent. After he reluctantly brought the old man back to his room, he only gave him a cup of crude tea, without even a word of greeting after that.

The old man was a little embarrassed to reveal his purpose of coming, and wanted to ask the Shanxi businessman to give him some help.

When the Shanxi businessman heard the old man's request, he immediately became unhappy and said impatiently: "I am here myself, and I haven't collected enough money to donate to the official position. How can I have any spare time to take care of you!"

When the old man saw that the Shanxi businessman was so unkind, he suddenly felt unfair and told the past events to the many guests in the inn, claiming that he was not a beggar and wanted to beg from the Shanxi businessman, but that he was kind to him and asked him to return the favor. coming!

It turns out that the Shanxi businessman's family was poor when he was a child, and the old man was a local official. He has been relying on the elderly's support for more than ten years to survive.

Later, when he grew up, the old man took out one hundred taels of silver and asked him to use it as capital to do business and sell. Only then did he slowly make money and become a rich man.

Nowadays, the old man has been dismissed from his official position and has no source of livelihood. As a result, he is homeless and wandering around.

Hearing that he had come to the capital, the old man was very happy, thinking that he had a savior, so he came to him for help.

In fact, the old man didn't have much extravagant hopes. He just wanted the Shanxi businessman to return to him the one hundred taels of silver he had given him as capital, so that he could pay off the debts he owed and use the remaining silver for travel expenses. It would be very satisfying to be able to return to my hometown with this old bone.

As he talked, the old man thought of his sadness and couldn't help but burst into tears.

But the Shanxi businessman remained indifferent, as if he had never heard what he said.

At this time, a guest from Jiangxi in the inn, who claimed to be surnamed Yang, lived next door to the Shanxi businessman. He suddenly stood up, bowed to the Shanxi businessman, and then asked: "Are all the things this old man said true?"

The Shanxi businessman blushed and said sheepishly: "This is true, but it's a pity that I really can't give him that much money to repay him."

Yang said: "You are going to be an official soon. Don't worry about not making money in the future. If someone is willing to lend you one hundred taels of silver now and pay it back within a year without charging a penny of interest, would you like to take it?" Come to repay the old man?"

The Shanxi businessman thought to himself: How can such a good thing happen? ! He reluctantly said perfunctorily: "Yes!"

Yang said: "You just need to write an IOU, and I will lend you one hundred taels of silver."

Everyone in the inn admired Yang very much and talked about the behavior of the Shanxi businessman.

The Shanxi businessman was forced to write an IOU under the pressure of public discussion.

Yang received the IOU, opened a dilapidated box of his, took out one hundred taels of silver, and handed it to the Shanxi businessman.

The Shanxi businessman reluctantly took the silver and gave it to the old man.

Yang also paid for a banquet in the inn, allowing the old man to drink with the Shanxi businessman.

The old man got the money and was very happy. The Shanxi businessman, out of sympathy, accompanied him to the banquet perfunctorily.

The old man thanked everyone and left.

A few days later, Yang also left the inn. It is not known where he moved, and there has been no news since then.

Later, the Shanxi businessman checked his luggage and found that one hundred taels of silver were missing from the box. However, the locks and cover marks on the box were the same as before and intact. He had nowhere to find out who had taken his silver. .

After further inspection, I found that a fox fur vest was missing, and there was an extra pawn ticket in the box, with the money written on it was two thousand. All in all, it was about the same amount of money that Yang spent on the banquet.

The Shanxi businessman suddenly realized: Yang turned out to be a warlock, and he was using magic to make a joke on him!

When other people staying in the inn found out, they all secretly applauded.

The Shanxi businessman felt ashamed and depressed, and was too embarrassed to stay at the Xincheng Inn. He moved away soon after, and no one knew where he went.
