Chapter 253 Borrowing Money
After waiting for less than twenty minutes, I heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside. A young man in a brocade robe and a golden crown walked in front, holding a horse whip in his hand. Before entering the door, he roared loudly: "I want to take a good look. Which one is not long-eyed to discount my legs!"
Around the young man, there were a few playboys and followers who were usually lying around, and they all rubbed their fists and looked angry.
"Young Master Gao, don't be fine?" Chen Xu turned around and looked at the young man in brocade robe who rushed in angrily, with a look of smiling and unhappiness on his face.
Uh~ Gao Yao staggered and quickly stabilized his body. When he was holding the whip, the group of people who were surrounded by him had already rushed towards Chen Xu and others. Wang Wu, Wang Qi, Hu Kuan were not willing to be outdone, so he raised his fists and pounced on him. The two sides quickly fought each other. However, these dandy and gangsters who were idle on weekdays were not opponents of Wang Wu and Wang Qi. Because they took Gao Yao's identity, they did not draw their swords. However, the fists as big as a sand bowl were like stone hammers. One punch was like a heart-wrenching scream. However, after three or five meetings, several of them were already knocked out and lying on the ground humming.
"Stop!" Gao Yao woke up instantly and shouted loudly. When both sides stopped, six or seven were lying on the ground. The remaining three were beaten by Wang Wu and Wang Qi, and their noses were almost unable to hold on. Moreover, Hu Kuan was as brave as if he had eaten a tiger ball. He kicked his subordinates hard in front of Gao Yao, without any mercy.
"Who is fighting and making noise in the county government?" An official who seemed to be a county magistrate's office came in from outside and saw the wounded man humming all over the ground.
"Go out~" Gao Yao didn't even look at it, and pointed the whip out, and the official immediately left in shame.
"Haha, Mr. Gao is so majestic!" Chen Xu said with a smile.
Gao Yao's fair face twitched a few times and said, "Chen Xu, are you here to make trouble on purpose today? Don't think that Ma Teng will be afraid of you, I will be afraid of you, but I just don't want to be troubled now! If you really want to fight me, I have a hundred ways to prevent you from going back to Qinghe Town."
Oh ~ Chen Xu immediately looked at Gao Yao with admiration. Gao Yao and Ma Teng are really different. At least this guy knows a little bit of a sense of decisiveness. He doesn't jump up and take revenge if he gets slapped in the face like Ma Teng.
"Young Master Gao, why did Chen make trouble for you? We don't have any deep hatred, right?" Chen Xu said with a smile.
"It's good that you know. I didn't participate in the last incident, and it's already over. Neither of you nor I have any losses. In Wancheng, I have the final say in the matter outside the government office. If you have any other ideas, I would like to advise you to give up your thoughts sooner!" Gao Yao's mood had returned to normal at this time.
"Haha, don't worry, I don't have any idea about Wancheng. I don't have such a big backer as Gao Jun. Today I came here to give up the family's household registration for this foot. I think Gao Jun should still remember it!"
"Foot House?" Gao Yao stared at a family with ragged black and thin clothes for a long time, and suddenly realized: "What are you talking about is the Fot House family that Ma Teng caught last time?"
"Not bad!" Chen Xu nodded.
"What do you want?" Gao Yao completely relaxed.
"Their family was caught by me and was trapped by Ma Teng as a work slave and sold to a copper and iron workshop outside the city. Today I went to find Ran Chi and asked him back. I also asked Mr. Gao to raise his hands to restore their household registration!"
"Do you know Ran Chi, too?" Gao Yao asked in surprise.
"I don't know each other, but you happened to be selling these people to him. You should know the best in your heart. Now I have brought back both slaves and transaction certificates. The officials here cannot find their identities, so I can only ask you for help!"
"Come to help me?" Gao Yao couldn't help but jump a few times, thinking that if you ask me for help, you want to break my legs?
However, since Chen Xu had already made the case, Gao Yao would not have turned against Chen Xu for the sake of the four civilians. Although he said bluntly that he was not afraid of Chen Xu, when Ma Teng showed him the purple scars on his body that day, he felt a little worried, because he heard that Chen Xu had always played against the common sense and was completely a savage in Funiu Mountain.
Under Gao Yao's arrangement, a small official in charge of the transaction of the official slaves quickly went to the warehouse to find three wooden signs, which were the identity signs of the family of Jiaoshe. Because the youngest young man was underage, he had no identity yet.
"Chen Xu, their identities have not been lost. But Ma Teng caught them that day and handed them over to me for help. Because they had not violated the laws of the Qin Dynasty. In order not to cause any other troubles, I asked someone to make a fake slave book and sell it to Ran Chi. So the matter is settled. Please, don't give it away!" Gao Yao threw three ID cards to Chen Xu and then angrily carried the horse whip and took a group of subordinates with a bruised nose and face, and Chen Xu also brought a group of people back to the foot house.
Although after more than three months of inhuman torture and hardship, the whole family survived and their identity was lost. The owner and his family of four returned to their feet and cried with joy as they hugged each other.
"Thank you Lord Lidian for your life~" The family knelt in front of Chen Xu and kowtowed hard.
"You don't have to thank me. It's up to me. Fortunately, I met your daughter this time, otherwise I would never know about it..."
"Sir, I...my daughter...where is she?" The owner of the JiaoShe shop was even more excited.
"It's coming soon. I've arranged for someone to go to the inn to pick her up!" As soon as Chen Xu finished speaking, a sound of horse hooves came from outside the door. After only half a minute, a girl in a gray linen skirt ran in.
"Dad, mother, brother~" The girl burst into tears, and the family hugged each other again and cried loudly.
"This family is so lucky!" Wang Wu said with emotion.
"Why do you say that?" Chen Xu asked in confusion at the door of the foot house.
"Haha, in this world, no one except Chen Lidian, would go to help them with such a hard work. Just talking about Ran Chi's workshop, it would be difficult for ordinary people to go in, let alone bring out the whole family, and even more so in household registration. I think even if some county magistrates below Nanyang come, Gao Yao may not necessarily give them face. What if this is not their good fortune?" Wang Wu replied.
"The fox is just a tiger's power. You and General Wang are that tiger, and I am just that fox." Chen Xu said with a smile.
"No, Gao Yao doesn't know our identity. Even if he knows, he can push it cleanly. Overall, he is afraid of you!"
"Haha, although I don't know what he is afraid of me, it's best to avoid coming to trouble this family again!"
Chen Xu turned around with a smile and looked at Hu Kuan who had been standing beside you and his hands were hanging down, "Hu Kuan, are you not afraid of offending Gao Yao today, and kicking his subordinates hard in front of him, are you not afraid of them taking revenge on you?"
Hu Kuan shivered slightly, and quickly bowed and said, "Mr. Ma has returned to Xianyang now, and I have nowhere to go. I want to follow Lord Lidian from now on, and I hope to take it in!"
"You really want to follow me?" Chen Xu asked lightly.
"Yes, although Hu Kuan is a idle man and has not read too many poems, he also knows the principle of good birds choosing trees to live in. Although Chen Lidian is young, he is handsome, acts rationally and skillfully, and will become a great person in the future. Kuan follows his left and right and will receive blessings. He hopes that Master Lidian will be able to fulfill his wishes!" After Hu Kuan said that, he bowed deeply to the end.
"Yesterday, you were the only one of the five people, today. It can be seen that you are a person who keeps your promises. I see everything you do today. It's good, very good. A man must not be mediocre in the world. It is not a skill to bully poor people. One day, we will oppress foreign tribes!"
"Oppose foreigners?" Not only Hu Kuan was stunned, but even Wang Wu and Wang Qi were a little stunned.
"Yes, the world is so big. In addition to our Great Qin, there are Donghu in the east, the Hebei region, the Xiongnu in the land, the Yuezhi Wusun Zhuhu and Qiang people in the west, and the Baiyue City to the south, and there are many countries ruled by barbarians. The areas are vast and rich in resources, with gold and jewelry everywhere. As a man of the Great Qin, he should trample his sword and horses across the five continents and all over the world. Even if he dies, he will be proud and celebrating the clouds forever. It is thousands of times stronger than living in this mere Wancheng, as he is mighty and prosperous, and he will be able to die."
“…”
Hu Kuan was stunned for a long time and was convinced: "Hu Kuan was beyond the reach of Lidian. I hope he can follow Lidian from now on, and one day he can go to those places with the adults to see it, which will be enough to comfort his life!"
"Haha, okay, get up. As the saying goes, you have to eat food one by one. Since you plan to follow me, I have a task to hand over to you now!"
"Sir, please give me instructions!" Hu Kuan said respectfully after standing up.
"Since you are very familiar with this Wancheng, you must know a lot of people. I want to open a large foot house in this Wancheng to provide a place for food, accommodation and exchanges for merchants and tourists from all over the country. Therefore, some people need to take care of you. Can you do this well?"
"Yes!" Hu Kuan nodded without hesitation.
"That's good. In the past few days, you have been looking for a place in the city. Try to calculate how much money you need in the prosperous and open place..." Chen Xu said suddenly that he suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have much money in his hands, so he turned to look at Wang Wu and Wang Qi and said, "Can you get a lot of money?"
Wang Wu:...
Wang Qi:...
"Hehe~" Chen Xu laughed dryly, "General Wang's family must have a lot of money, right?"
Wang Wu bowed and said with a laugh and cry: "Chen Lidian, Tongwu Hou Mansion is naturally rich. The problem is that we cannot make the decision, and the money is still in Xianyang. It will take more than a month to go here. If the snow road is blocked, it will be spring next year when we come back!"
Chen Xu touched his chin and thought for a while, saying, "It seems that he has to make a lot of money first. You can wait a moment, and I will discuss it with the shop in the foot shop!"
