Chapter 16 Temptation

The three of them came to the only brick and tile house in the middle of the village.

The yard is quite large, five or six times larger than the adobe thatch-roofed yard on both sides, and it is estimated that at least one acre of land is more than one acre.

There is no brick and tile house in the entire village of Yujia Village. Qijia Village with the same environment can actually build such a large courtyard, which shows how good it is to grow Qilichang.

The two of them came to the gate, and Qi Lichang's eldest son was already waiting at the gate.

"Yu Jiashou, welcome."

"Cousin Shu." Yu Zhihai bowed and returned the greeting, and then introduced the two people next to him: "This is my clan brother of Yujia Village, Yu Zhibo and Yu Zhigeng."

"Hello, Brother Zhibo, Brother Zhigeng." Qi Lichang's eldest son, named Qishutang, may have something to ask for, so he is very polite to the two guests.

"Cousin Shu." Yu Zhibo and Geng Wa returned the favor.

The three of them were welcomed into the lobby, and some wine and food were already placed on the Eight Immortals table in the middle.

Yu Zhibo carefully observed the room and found that there were still some traces of swords and weapons. The cabinets in the suites on both sides had not been sorted out and were in a mess.

This Qishutang was able to clean up the environment from the main hall at the gate in just half an hour and also tidy up a table of wine and food, which was already very impressive.

After all, the village has just been thieves.

However, Yu Zhibo was very confused. As the richest family in the village, Qi Shutang could survive, and someone helped him arrange a table of dishes so quickly. There must be something here.

"Thank you for your help in Qijia Village today. If there weren't three, my Qijia Village would be over today."

"I, Qi Shutang, first pay three cups of respect to my benefactor."

As he said that, he finished the three full wine glasses in front of him one after another.

Yu Zhihai and the other two stopped him, waiting to see what kind of fun he was doing.

"The three benefactors eat vegetables, and they can only serve some cold dishes first, and there will be hot dishes later." Qi Shutang began to greet the three of them to eat vegetables and drink.

This banquet was not considered a Hongmen Banquet, and Qi Shutang would not be crazy and was killed by the thief and saved his life, so the three of them started to eat and drink with confidence.

I was really hungry after working hard all day. Although the dishes on the table were cold dishes, they were full of color, fragrance and taste.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Qi Shutang was very calm, as if he was really treating guests to dinner and thanking for saving his life. He was not in a hurry to shake off the theme of today's banquet.

Just as Yu Zhibo was about to signal Brother Hai to say goodbye, a middle-aged man walked in and brought three young men, each carrying a small wooden box.

"A drop of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone a life-saving grace. My Qijia Village is not a person with a little kindness. Today, the three of you will help you. These are the little intentions of Qijia Village, and they are nothing. I hope Brother Zhihai and the two brothers can accept it."

The three boxes are not big, thirty centimeters long, twenty centimeters wide, and about twenty centimeters deep.

You can see a piece of red silk cloth on the upper layer of the box. Two rows of silver ingots are neatly placed on the silk cloth, which look like a pig's waist, and five rows of silver ingots. The silver ingots are not big, so it is estimated that one ingot should be about five taels of silver.

A total of fifty taels.

I just don’t know if there are any layers inside the box.

However, just talking about this layer of silver ingots, it is already very generous.

"No, Qijia Village has just suffered a disaster. The money should be spent on rescuing the murdered villagers." Yu Zhihai stood up decisively and refused.

Yu Zhibo heard Geng Wa swallowing saliva next to him, very loudly.

He turned his head to look at him. Although his eyes were full of desire, he forced himself to hold back his desire and sat down without moving. He was not dissatisfied with Yu Zhihai's rejection, but instead had some recognition.

It seems that Geng Wazi is a little stupid, but his values ​​are still very positive.

His family is at its end, and he can resist the temptation and cultivate it well.

"Brother Zhihai accept it with confidence. My father is the village chief and my eldest son. Our family will definitely take care of the disaster in Qijia Village. Thank you three, and it has nothing to do with it." Qi Shutang signaled the three of them to put the money box on the table.

Yu Zhihai was about to refuse again, when a young man suddenly rushed in from outside: "Shutang, go with me to have a look."

"What's the matter?" Qi Shutang asked with some dissatisfaction: "Go again later."

"No." The young man looked at the three guests on the table anxiously, walked to Qishutang and whispered: "Several relatives who died outside are making trouble."

The voice was very small, and Yu Zhibo almost couldn't hear it clearly.

"Hey, I'm negligent. The relatives of the outsiders are asking me to be in charge. I'll let my uncle accompany the three of them to continue eating and drinking. I'll come when I go."

After saying that, he hurried out with four young men, not giving the three people a chance to talk more.

The uncle of the clan is also a wonderful person. After advising him several times, he lied that he had left because he had something to do and left the three guests alone.

"Is this giving us a chance to see the money?" Yu Zhibo guessed.

"It's almost the same, I'll give you two a chance to persuade me to agree." Yu Zhihai replied.

The two looked at each other and smiled, knowing that each other understood what Qi Shutang was doing.

In the face of temptation, some people may be able to refuse with a firm will at first, but as time goes by, this will will surely soften.

Faced with the same temptation, the three of them are able to refuse steadily, but it is not certain that young people are.

The clan uncle of Qi Shutang wanted to use these two points to deepen the temptation, divide the three of them, and try to win Yu Zhihai who clearly stated his refusal.

Always stingy people with weak mouths and short hands.

If Yu Zhihai took the money today, he would not be able to be tough when he was fighting for the village.

It seems that Qi Shutang already knew that his father had died and just put a lot of money on the three of them.

Anyway, he didn't have to pay for the money himself, so he didn't hear the quarrels outside becoming more and more fierce? Those dead families couldn't even pay for the burial of their relatives. Where did the money go?

It must have been Qi Shutang who moved the money collected by the thief to his house.

"I'm still young, I'm too urgent to act." Yu Zhihai shook his head as he heard the louder and louder noise outside.

Today, Qi Shutang’s behavior of paving the way for himself is indeed commendable, decisive and courageous.

But it was almost done.

"Hey, there are actually some pastries underneath. I thought the whole box was full of silver." Yu Zhigeng was itchy and saw that there were no outsiders in the room, so he actually got up to check the reality of the money box.

He took up a layer above the cash box, revealing the neatly arranged pastries inside the cash box.

Yu Zhibo took back his comment that Qi Shutang had just commented on "hard enough".

It may also be that Qi Shutang couldn't get three boxes of silver ingots, but he could use plates.

I wanted to use a silver box to suppress the three of them, but I didn't fill the box with silver ingots, and I was so bad that I couldn't get enough of it.

"Put it back, let it be carefully." Yu Zhihai scolded Geng Wa for his excessive actions.

"Oh." Geng Wa carefully put the upper tray back, tidied up the silk cloth, and then looked at the silver ingot and asked reluctantly: "Are we leaving now?"

"You can't leave, otherwise you will be unable to tell if you have less money." Yu Zhihai shook his head and replied.

"Then I'll eat something more." Geng Wa turned reluctant to leave her and opened it at the table of cold dishes.

In the end, the hot dishes in Qi Shutang's words were not served on the table, but instead there was a sound of fighting and shouting outside.

The three of them sat down and did not go out. Before, they were robbed and killed by thieves in Qijia Village, and their help was to help.
