Chapter 086

Liang Xiao put away his smile. He could hear the dissonant voice from the words of the people.
He looked at the visitor seriously again and made sure he didn't know this person. "Dare to ask..."
The person who came smiled reservedly and waved his hand. A strong and arrogant young man walked behind him and took out five round golden cakes from his arms and threw them into Liang Xiao's arms.
"I heard that in Jiangdu, your family woven double-sided brocade is one gold piece. This is Chang'an, and the value should be doubled, two gold pieces per piece. Pay half the deposit first, and one month later, I will pay the remaining amount when I pick up the goods." The middle-aged man smiled, raised his lips and showed deep nasolabial folds on his nose. "This is the birthday gift given to the Empress Dowager's family by the Gaihou family, don't delay it." After saying that, before Liang Xiao could speak, he shook his hand and left.
Liang Xiao held the heavy gold in his hand and felt the urge to curse.
Whoever I have provoked, I can't help but be quiet for a while? A piece of brocade can be as fast as ten days, and a month can be as slow as half a month. How can I have five pieces of brocade for you?
Liang Xiao was very angry, but he did not dare to have an attack immediately. He had just heard Dongfang Shuo talk about the powerful people in Chang'an City and knew who Gai Hou was, who was the empress dowager's brother and the emperor's uncle. He just didn't know how he had formed a gang with Gai Hou, so that the day after entering the city, Gai Hou's mansion came to him.
This surprise is really big.
This Chang'an is indeed not a place that ordinary people can stay. When people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.
Liang Xiao took the gold and found me. When Mama Liang heard this, she frowned. "A Xiao, have you offended someone? Even if I am willing to weave it, it is impossible to weave five double-sided brocades in a month. This is clearly here to make trouble."
Hu Xijun, who was talking to Mama Liang, heard something and reminded him: "According to Chang'an's rules, if the goods cannot be delivered at that time, or the goods are not qualified, they will have to pay double the compensation. Twenty gold..."
Hu Xijun licked his lips and didn't dare to continue talking. Mama Liang and Li Rongqing's faces changed. They all knew what the concept of twenty gold was. Even if they sold their family, it would not be worth so much money. A healthy adult man sold himself as a slave and was worth two gold. When Li Rongqing sold it to the Hu family, he only sold it for 5,000 yuan, which was equivalent to half a pound of gold.
"It's not a question that can be weaved. If you don't find out the reason, even if you deal with it this time, you will be even more ruthless next time." Liang Xiao gritted his teeth. "I'll go and ask, where did I offend the Marquis' Mansion."
...
Liang Xiao didn't care about practicing arrows, so he immediately took Tu Niuer out and found Dongfang Shuo under the leadership of Hu Xijun. This guy was not on duty today, so he cheated some money from Liang Xiao and ran to Liushi, the city west of the city to play. Fortunately, he was tall and unusual, and Liang Xiao had good eyesight and soon found him among the bustling crowd.
Dongfang Shuo held a wine pot in one hand and a skewer of barbecue in the other hand, and was slugging the meat with one mouthful of wine and one sip. There were two young men squatting opposite him, one tall and powerful, and the other thin and agile. Like Dongfang Shuo, he ate all over his mouth.
Seeing Liang Xiao, Dongfang Shuo had not spoken yet, the thin-bodied man stood up first and touched the big man beside him with his legs. "Big Tiger, this is the snorkeling man Liang Xiao we just mentioned."
The man raised his head, stared at Liang Xiao with a pair of big bull eyes, and looked a little disappointed. "Why do you look like a woman?"
Liang Xiao glanced at the man in surprise, but didn't say anything. First, the thin man greeted him. He knew this person. This was Qin Ge, a knight who had been going to Guatian with "Pingyang Marquis" Liu Che that night. After he performed his sound shooting skills, the two passed their names.
"Brother Liang, this is my good brother Pang Shuo, nicknamed Dahu, and is straightforward and can't speak. If you offend me, please let Brother Liang do it."
Liang Xiao smiled, looked at Pang Shuo again, and said with a smile: "Brother Pang is not wrong. Compared with him, few people don't look like women. Perhaps only Brother Dongfang can catch his eyes."
After hearing this, Pang Shuo stood up, laughed loudly, stretched out his huge palm and patted Liang Xiao's shoulder. Tu Niuer was furious and blocked Liang Xiao's face, raised his arm, and blocked Pang Shuo's hand. Pang Shuo was stunned, and his broom eyebrows immediately raised and his thick lips curled.
"Little Wuwa, do you want to fight?"
"Accompany at any time." Tu Niu'er rolled up her sleeves without showing any weakness. "I've long wanted to understand Xiao Qin'e's power."
"Hey—" Pang Shuo stared at his eyes, smashed the wine and meat in his hand to the ground, stretched out his hands, grabbed Tu Niuer's arms, and was about to lift it up and knocked him down. Tu Niuer's shoulders shook, shaking Pang Shuo's hands, and knocked him across his shoulders into Pang Shuo's arms.
"Bang!" Before Pang Shuo could react, he was hit by Tu Niuer, standing unsteadily, "Ding Ding Ding..." He took a few steps back and hit the city wall. His huge body made the city wall tremble, and the dust on the wall slammed down.
Pang Shuo sniffed a few times, and stood up again with a head of gray, looking at Tu Niuer, his eyes shining. He spitted two spits into his palms excitedly, rubbed his palms hard, and smiled, "Little Wuwa, you have a few tricks. Come on, I didn't count it just now, try again."
Before he finished speaking, Pang Shuo roared angrily, lowered his body, spread his arms and rushed over.
Tu Niuer did not move, allowing Pang Shuo to hug her waist. Pang Shuo succeeded with a blow, lifted Tu Niuer high and smashed it down hard. This is a common trick used in the horn, which is especially suitable for players like Pang Shuo who are strong and strong. If it is smashed firmly, Tu Niuer will be seriously injured even if it is not dead. At the very least, it will become a concussion, and at the worst, it will be broken and a broken spine will become disabled.
Qin Ge was shocked and was about to stop drinking, but he saw Liang Xiao watching coldly, indifferently, and couldn't help but wonder. He also closed his mouth and watched it quietly.
Tu Niuer was picked up by Pang Shuo in the waist and his body soared into the air. Just as he jumped to the highest point, he suddenly stretched out his hands, pinched Pang Shuo's shoulders hard, and raised his legs and bent his knees. Pang Shuo only felt pain in his shoulders, his arms were sore and numb, and he instinctively let go of Tu Niuer. Before he could react, Tu Niuer's knee had already hit his chin hard.
"Boom!" Pang Shuo rose into the air and landed on the ground with a loud bang, smashing the earth with a muffled sound and smoke and dust rose.
Tu Niuer easily landed on the ground, lifted one foot, and dusted the dust that did not exist on his trouser legs.
"Good fists!" Dongfang Shuo, who had been watching coldly, blurted out his mouth and squirted with a big mouthful of skewers.
