Chapter 45 The lion speaks

"Old slick." Xie Hong and Gu Yuyi's two rivals rarely agreed to each other and both cursed in their hearts.

However, no one has time to pay attention to County Magistrate Wang at this moment. Xie Hong had to start planning the last step, so he naturally had to cheer up and not be as careless as he was at the beginning. You must know that this last step is not only a confrontation between the lips and tongue, but also a skill.

Doctor Gu was even more impatient to solve the problem. He made up his mind that as long as he could buy the pagoda, even if he spent more money, he would do whatever he wanted. As for Xie Hong's contempt and even humiliation to him, hum, there are opportunities to settle the calculation in the future, and the old man gritted his teeth again.

"Why are you still standing there? You haven't moved the pagoda into the car."

His order made his housekeeper confused. Master Xie just agreed to sell it, but he didn't say it was for nothing. He went to move now? Isn't the master confused? Butler Gu hesitated and did not dare to go forward, while secretly looking at the master's expression.

Doctor Gu was impatient, and his beard blew and his eyes glared, and he was about to attack.

The housekeeper was sweating profusely, but he glanced at Zhang Erniu, who was standing next to the pagoda and like a guardian, and he still didn't dare to step forward just like that. Qiqi Aiai said, "Master, should we... negotiate the price first... and then move things?"

Doctor Gu looked impatient, and brushed his sleeves of the robe and shouted, "You fool! Didn't he agree to sell it? A small country chief clerk has seen how much money he has. Just move the treasure away first. Just give it to him as much as he wants. Even if he wants a few thousand taels of lion, you can make decisions on your own. Can I even ask for such a small matter?"

The housekeeper was still in a dilemma. In fact, when Xie Hong presented the music box, he was there and shouted the highest price of 3,000 taels. He remembered that at that time, Xie Hong was not shaken at all in the face of such a sky-high price. Now this pagoda is better than the music box, and Xie Hong's situation is better than that time, so the price is hard to say.

"Oh," the housekeeper sighed in his heart, "After becoming an imperial physician, the master has not suffered any setbacks in the local area. As a result, his arrogance has increased day by day, and there has never been an ordinary person in his eyes. Although this Master Xie has no background and his fame is low, it is also very unusual. The master is arrogant, and the last thing that is difficult for us servants is to suffer."

There is no place to complain about his life. Seeing that Doctor Gu was about to get angry, the housekeeper lamented in his heart, but he did not dare to neglect, so he had to come forward to negotiate. When Xie Hong approached, he did not dare to be disrespectful. He gave a tribute first and said, "Sir Xie, you are generous and you are grateful to the Gu family. Of course, you can't let you suffer a loss. Look at the price of this treasure..."

The Gu family servants who followed each other looked at each other. Is this the butler? You're so polite. Everyone sneaked to see their master, thinking that with the master's character, they would definitely be angry that the butler would be willing to be humiliated and then get furious?

It would be fine if the master got angry at the housekeeper, but everyone was just watching the fun, but everyone knew his own master's temperament. He didn't care about the anger, and he would deal with whom he caught. The servants were very nervous.

However, after a look, they put their heart back in their stomachs. They saw that their master's eyes were fixed on the pagoda, and they never left them for a moment, and they didn't notice what the butler was doing. Judging from the posture, if it weren't for the brilliance in their hearts, they would probably not be able to hold on to the air and rushed forward.

The servants were very glad that when they turned to look at Xie Hong, they all felt a sense of awe. This chief clerk Xie is really amazing. He was so shameless that he could not tell the truth that the master was fine, but he could also make the butler humble. The most amazing thing was that he could always get these magical treasures. Mr. Chen said that he was the Star Lord and descended to earth, but maybe it was true.

Magistrate Wang entered the official sedan chair and didn't say anything for a long time. However, when he saw the butler's attitude, he couldn't help but snorted coldly. He was also confused: the butler always had a pride in his face, but in the end he was servile in a small chief clerk. The worst thing was that he was too kind in normal times. Should he be tougher?

This imperial doctor is really... Xie Hong was amazed in his heart. This man is not stupid, but his arrogance is really uncommon for comment. Is he not used to this era yet? Hearing the butler asks the price, he frowned and said, "Is the price... easy to say."

Butler Gu felt relieved when he heard this. Although he was a little confused about Xie Hong's sudden improvement in speaking, for him, as long as he could complete his mission, even if he knew there was a pit ahead, he would jump without hesitation, as long as he could buy the pagoda.

"This pagoda was bought by my brothers from Henan and spent a lot of money." Xie Hong still looked calm and light. The folding fan in his hand was opened again at some point. This time he changed the side to face the outside, but it was still a character with a ghost-drawing talisman on it.

Xie Hong didn't speak loudly, but the Gu family felt a little nervous. Is this going to ask the lion to speak loudly?

"Since the magistrate is destined to be absent, I will not make any money. I will spend 30,000 taels of money to buy this Seven Treasures Tower. If Lord Gu wants it, he will give the cost price. As for travel expenses, I will not care about it."

The weather was so good. Xie Hongran looked at the sky from afar, shaking the fan in his hand, and was so elegant and elegant that he was calm and composed. His tone was even more casual when he spoke, and he just said a number lightly, but the person who heard this was as if he had been hit by a big hammer in the face and turned red in an instant.

"Thirty thousand...two...silver?" The housekeeper shivered.

"If the Gu family is afraid that the official will suffer losses and are willing to give gold, I will be relieved." Xie Hong still looked at leisure and contentment, completely ignoring how much reaction his words caused.

Thirty thousand taels of silver. On that day, Xie Hong received the 500 taels of reward from the government, and it felt like it was an astronomical number, let alone 30,000. Most of the onlookers were ordinary people. The number of ten thousand was already very unfamiliar to them. Even if the copper coins exceeded ten thousand, it would be a big fortune, let alone silver?

Everyone was full of energy. Although it was quite interesting to see Xie Hong and the Gu family fighting each other just now, it was exciting now. 30,000 taels, which is really amazing. Will the Gu family turn against each other? If the Gu family wants to force the robbery, there will be martial arts dramas, and everyone took a few steps back again to avoid the fight and being affected.

"Sir Xie, the Gu family is very sincere. Please don't joke." The butler came to his senses.

"How come I am joking?" Xie Hong was very innocent.

"Mr. Xie, let alone whether this treasure is worth 30,000 taels, as far as the villain knows, Mr. Xie's family seems to be not well-off, so how can he buy 30,000 taels of silver to buy this item?" Butler Gu is still very smart to manage a big company like the Gu family, and soon found the flaws in Xie Hong's words.

"As the chief clerk of the county, he always says he is in front of the magistrate, but he is blackmailed. Wouldn't it make people feel cold?" Butler Gu did not stop and simply accused Xie Hong of sternly speaking. As he said that, he pulled Wang in again. Thinking that if Xie Hong was unreasonable, Wang Wang would have the excuse to come forward.

"Butler Gu, you must buy things. I don't want to sell them." Xie Hong spread his hands and said that he was helpless. "Now that I have mentioned the price, but you can't afford it, so I'm slandering here. Okay, has I proved that I can afford to pay 30,000 taels, so you can go home and not bother me?"

"This..." The housekeeper didn't dare to decide on his own. Although he was sure that Xie Hong could not have 30,000 taels of silver, that was 30,000 taels. The Dong family had accumulated over the years and had not more than 30,000 in cash. How could he, a small chief clerk, have so much money?

But the other party was Xie Hong, a person who was surprised many times. What if... he really showed the evidence? Go home? What he said didn't count. If he really agreed, then... the master wouldn't eat himself.

Butler Gu was very helpless and his eyes were very sad.

Xie Hong didn't like to make things difficult for others, but when he remembered the Gu family's face before, especially the words Gu Yudai said, "Dr. Gu still made up his mind and just couldn't see it." Besides, judging from Butler Gu's performance just now, if he really showed his flaws, they might not have to take revenge. Not doing bad things does not mean being a bad person.

Butler Gu couldn't get mercy, so he had to turn around and look at his master. What he saw was a slightly distorted face.

He almost got the thing, but... this little chief clerk dared to play with him. 30,000 taels, did he know how much it costs? Doctor Gu was so angry that even in the Imperial Hospital, he was just not valued, and no one deliberately gave him anger. But in this small Beizhuang County, there was such a life-and-death boy.

He subconsciously wanted to respond, but in the end he still held it rationally and said in a hoarse voice: "Xiangsheng, you said you could take out 30,000 taels to buy treasures. What if you can't prove it?"

Xie Hong smiled slightly and said proudly: "If so, Xie will give this item to the Gu family without taking any penny."

"Since that's the case..." Doctor Gu gritted his teeth, "It's all right. If you prove this, then the Gu family will pay 30,000 taels to buy this item. If you can't prove it, hum..."

"Master..." The housekeeper was shocked. Although the 30,000 taels would not hurt the Gu family. The Gu family still had fields and shops, it was also a big deal. Besides, even if all the cash in the family was taken out, it would be less than 30,000.

"It's okay, the younger generation of the Xie family, what about your evidence?" Yu Dai Gu was determined to get the pagoda. As long as he could be promoted, what would money be? Besides, even if it could prove that this thing is worth 30,000 taels, would this greedy boy think that the money is so easy to get?
