Chapter 68 Liu Moze

Xue Chang responded with a humility and arrogance: "Our Jincheng Escort Bureau will never owe debts and refuse to repay them. Moreover, with Lord Wu here to preside over justice, we can definitely make this matter smoothly and fairly resolve it!"

Even though Xue Chang's expression was calm, how could Wu County Chief unable to hear the mockery contained in his tone? Although he was unhappy, he just snorted and said no more. After all, he was only ordered by the prefect to help the Sihai Escort Agency achieve his goal. There was no need to anger a former Red Escort Agency, although it was now sunset.

He remembered that an official senior reminded him: "...Although compared with the previous dynasty, the control of martial arts people in this dynasty has greatly strengthened, the tragic incidents of officials being killed for offending people in the Jianghu Lake have happened occasionally. Even if the military inspector later caught the murderer, the person could not be resurrected after death. Therefore, when hearing cases related to martial arts people, be very cautious!..."

Thinking of this, he looked at Mao Jichun, meaning to urge him.

Mao Jichun immediately said with a slight smile: "Young Master Xue, your father borrowed 6,500 taels of silver. Including the interest, we have to pay us back a total of 7,150 taels of silver. Should you pay back the money directly? Or use this house to mortgage it?"

Since the last time he walked out of this house, he sent someone to strengthen his surveillance of the Jincheng Escort Bureau. Xue Fu went out to borrow money, but he instructed someone to hit him. After finding that Yin Bin and others were running for him, he suggested that Lin Yan secretly ask for help from a noble man, and then with his help, he prepared a lot of money to visit the prefect Wang and got his promise...Facts have proved that his plan was very effective, and now the Xue family child is already in a turtle.

He was proud to see the other party showing a desperate expression, and he reluctantly said the answer he wanted.

However, Xue Chang showed a confident smile and said forcefully: "Of course I'm paying back the money!"

Mao Jichun thought the other party was just stubborn and sneered: "Repay the money? Do you have enough money?"

"I don't have ready-made silver." Xue Chang calmly put his hand into the handbag tied around his waist, took out two pieces of mutton fat jade, and held it in his palm: "But I have this."

Mao Jichun looked closely and then laughed: "Are you kidding? With these two pieces of white stones, you want to pay my 7,000 taels of silver?!" Then he sank his face and said with a sinister look: "Young Master Xue, since you can't pay back the money, don't blame me for being polite-"

Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly heard someone shouting: "So big seed jade! Such a thorough and warm water color! It's so rare that there is no flaw! Priceless treasure, this is a priceless treasure!"

An ordinary-dressed old man rushed to Xue Chang from behind the crowd, staring at the mutton fat jade in his hand, and his expression was extremely excited.

"Get out of here, old man, this is not a place for you to make trouble!" Mao Jichun thought this man was bought by Xue Chang, so he was so angry that he cursed and even wanted to give him some good looks so that he could kill the chicken and scare the monkey.

"Stop, don't be rude!" Wu County Chief rushed to stop and rushed forward to salute respectfully: "Master Liu, I didn't expect you to be here!"

The old man ignored him and said to Xue Chang earnestly: "Can you show it to me?"

"No problem." Xue Chang glanced at Wu County Chief and put two pieces of jade into the old man's hands without hesitation.

The old man looked carefully and carefully.

Lin Lei, who saw this scene not far away, felt uneasy. In order to prevent the night from getting long and dreaming, he couldn't help but urge: "Mr. Wu, time is tight, I don't want jade, just silver. Since the other party cannot repay the money, we will do as we discussed initially!"

Wu County Magistrate was a little unhappy, but when he thought of the benefits the other party promised to him, he still kindly reminded him: "Master Liu Moze is the top sculptor in my Great Zhou Dynasty. He once carved jade artifacts for the current emperor. He was summoned by the emperor and awarded the plaque "Unrivaled in the World". How can you and I beg you and I beg you!"

"Mr. Wu is right. The plaque given by His Majesty is still hung on the lintel of Master Liu's jade shop!" Wang Xuan shouted loudly from the side.

Everyone was in a state of chaos.

Lin Lei and Mao Jichun are busy with escort affairs, and are usually not interested in elegant things such as calligraphy, painting and instruments. When they first heard this anecdote, they were surprised: I didn’t expect that this inconspicuous old man had such an identity!

Liu Moze seemed to have never heard of the amazement from everyone. He stroked the jade in his hand with all his heart, his face full of joy, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It is said that this mutton fat jade is a fetal heart that is nurtured by the pebbles in the river flowing under the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions. There may be only one beautiful jade of this quality among hundreds of thousands of pebbles, none of which are in thousands! I only saw a jade of equality when carving a jade pendant for Your Majesty. I still remember that after the dragon pendant was carved, Your Majesty wore it on his body and sighed to me, "It's a pity that only this one, otherwise I would have to carve two more phoenix pairs and give it to the queen and imperial concubine to make a good story."

When Wu County Chief suddenly felt ecstatic when he heard this, he asked cautiously: "What happened to be such a clever thing!"

Liu Moze glanced at him: "It's a pity to have a dragon but no phoenix! For more than a year, I have been running around to get a good piece of mutton fat jade, but I have never gained anything. If I hadn't heard that there were jade here, how could I come here today?"

The Wu County Chief vaguely remembered that there was a rumor in the Chengdu officialdom for a while that "Liu Moze asked to buy jade" and finally stopped doubting it. He turned around and said, "The jade in the hand of the young master Xue is enough to pay off the debts of the Sihai Escort Bureau. General Lin, quickly exchange the IOU in his hand!"

What?!...Lin Lei subconsciously objected.

Mao Jichun winked at him quickly.

Lin Lei was not a mediocre person with developed limbs and simple minds. He was a little unwilling to let him go when he wanted to make a long-term plan and preparation. He hesitated and heard the Wu County Chief say: "Master Liu, we want to ask you to carve these two pieces of jade into a phoenix match to present it to the emperor!"

Liu Moze's eyes remained close to the jade, but he said slowly: "It would be too derogatory to buy such a priceless treasure for only 7,000 taels of silver! In the future, the emperor may understand the process of obtaining the jade pendant, and may feel unhappy at that time..."

"What the master said is reasonable." Wu County Chief, who had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, was not a mediocre person. After Liu Moze's reminder, he immediately reacted and asked immediately: "How much does this jade think should be worth?"

"Jade is priceless, and everyone has its own value. In my heart, it is priceless, it depends on how much it is worth in your heart." Liu Moze said leisurely.

The Chief Wu County quickly thought in his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Young Master Xue, you just thought these two jades were bought by the prefect and me, one is 10,000 taels per one, what do you think?"

Xue Chang did not respond immediately, but instead asked Liu Moze respectfully: "Master, what do you think of the price?"

"I have just said that everyone has their own value, so I have to ask yourself." Liu Moze said in a calm tone.

Xue Chang turned his head to look at Lin Lei and Mao Jichun who showed unwillingness, then at Wu County Chief who looked calm, Yin Bin and others who were smiling happily, and even Wei Zixiao was lip-syncing that he wanted more.

Xue Chang quickly made up his mind. He was worried that the Sihai Escort Agency would be questioned if he refused to admit the account. Now, it can not only be solved smoothly, but also earn more money, which is beyond his expectations. For him, the most important thing is to practice martial arts stably and steadily. As long as money can be guaranteed, it will only cause disaster if it is more. So he said: "I agree, Lord Wu, but it must be sold now."

"No problem." Wu County Chief was also very straightforward and turned around and shouted to his entourage: "Go home immediately and tell your wife, get 20,000 taels of silver!"

At this time, Liu Moze gently stroked his beard and said softly: "Young Master Xue should be relieved now. Can you tell me where these two jades came from?"
