Lai Zhicheng is a smart man, and of course he will not leave the right to speak to a bunch of idiots.
"Yun Er, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't make any mistakes."
Yun Chao was a little disappointed when he saw that the man named Lai was not fooled. He wanted to mobilize the masses. Even if he could not defeat Lai Zhicheng, the largest landlord in Wolong Village, for a while, he would let everyone gradually recognize his true face.
Mobilizing the masses, seizing production, and making revolution are the great man's secret skills of slaying the dragon. Of course, the five good young people in Yunchao, an excellent society, know it.
"Muramasa, we must make it clear that I gave your family one tael of silver, but that was not the money to buy the fish. It was the money left after deducting the fine and city tax. The real price of the fish I bought was more than two taels of silver.
, didn’t your two sons say anything?”
Lai Zhicheng was so angry that he couldn't help but wonder why Lai Shouren and Lai Shouyi didn't tell him. But he always felt that something was wrong. How could they collect so much tax just by entering the city? Isn't this blackmail?
Well, Lai Zhicheng is the village leader and can be regarded as a person with vested interests. Of course he is aware of this possibility, because he has often used his power to bully the poor people in the village.
However, the feeling of bullying others is completely different from being bullied by others. Lai Zhicheng is really unwilling to do so!
Lai Zhicheng thought about it. His two hundred kilograms of fish would have to be sold for five taels even if he didn't sell them for ten taels. What the hell was it that Yun Er only paid for two taels of silver? What's more, he didn't even get two taels of silver.
half!
"Hmph, Yun Er, tell the truth, how much did you sell those fish for in total?"
Yun Chao smiled slightly: "What do you think?"
Lai Zhicheng screamed in anger, I guess you are a bird, how old am I? Is it interesting to play with you, a little brat?
Seeing Lai Zhicheng staring, Yun Chao still smiled: "To tell you the truth, I sold it for ten taels of silver."
"you……"
Lai Zhicheng thought that Yun Chao could not tell and might tell nonsense, but he never thought that he would tell the truth.
Two hundred catties of fish, ten taels of silver, Yun Er must not be lying!
Lai Zhicheng was furious: "Hey Yun'er, you bought our fish with two taels of silver and sold it for ten taels. You made a total of eight taels, eight taels..."
What is the concept of eight taels of silver?
Even Lai Zhicheng, the largest landowner in Wolong Village, saves only a dozen taels of silver throughout the year by scrimping and scrimping.
Eight taels of silver is almost their family's income for most of the year!
Of course, Lai Zhicheng was just a small landowner. If he were from a truly powerful family, he could easily get eight hundred or eight thousand taels of silver, not to mention eight taels of silver.
When he thought about missing out on such a large sum of money, Lai Zhicheng was so angry that his hands trembled.
Lai Shouren and Lai Shouyi, who had been silent next to them, were also trembling. They pointed at Yun Chao and could not say a word for a long time.
Facing the Lai family and his son who were about to go berserk, Yun Chao was not afraid, but even angry: "Muramasa, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. When did I say that your fish is worth ten taels?"
Seeing Yun Chao's denial, Lai Zhicheng turned green with anger: "You just said that the fish was sold for ten taels of silver. Do you still want to admit it now?"
Yun Chao shook his head disdainfully: "When I said I sold the fish for ten taels of silver, I didn't mean that the fish was sold for ten taels of silver. Your fish is worth only two taels. The remaining eight taels are favors. Do you understand?"
"Favor?" Lai Zhicheng was confused and didn't know what Yun Chao meant.
"Humph, you are still Muramasa, and you don't even understand this. Can you sell so many fish if you just say you can sell them? If I hadn't asked for favors, found connections, and given them kickbacks,
Why can it be sold for so much money?"
"Well……"
Lai Zhicheng was a little confused. He didn't expect that Yun Er also had connections in the city. Who were they? Are they those bad friends from Yun Da?
It's not that Yun Chao didn't know how to keep a low profile. Shizilou spent ten taels of silver to buy his fish, so there was no way he could hide it.
Even the guys at the Lion House can collude with the robbers, and there are still some secrets that cannot be found out.
As long as Lai Zhicheng was willing and asked around in the city, he would know that Shishilou had bought a cart of fish.
If you find a guy from the Lion House and put some money in there, you will know how much the Lion House spent on collecting those fish.
Rather than hiding it, covering it up, and letting Lai Zhicheng investigate and eventually find out, it is better to speak out openly on your own.
If Lai Zhicheng can't figure out his own situation, he will resort to aggressive measures and dare not act rashly.
Sure enough, when he heard that Yun Chao could actually establish a relationship with Shizilou, Lai Zhicheng's arrogance suddenly dropped a lot.
As the village leader, Lai Zhicheng often went to the city to do business, so of course he knew where the Lion Tower was.
Yun Er can talk to anyone who is so awesome. It seems that this kid has some connections and cannot be easily offended.
Seeing that Lai was restrained by him, Yun Chao simply retreated and said, "Forget it, I'll treat my kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Don't come to me again for fish-related matters in the future. I've already told you that the Lion House will collect fish. You can do it."
Sell it yourself!”
After saying that, Yun Chao turned around and left without looking back.
The Lai family and his son stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, but no one stopped them.
The father and son looked at each other for a long time before Lai Shouyi said angrily: "Dad, this kid Yun Er is nothing. Tomorrow we will go to the city to sell fish by ourselves, not with him!"
After Lai Shouyi finished speaking, seeing that his father and elder brother were both unconvinced, a wave of evil fire came out: "Speak, you are talking!"
It's not that Lai Zhicheng and Lai Shouren are afraid of competing with Yun Chao for business, it's that they don't have confidence.
Lai Zhicheng is the village leader. He has a waist card and does not have to pay the city tax.
However, that was with empty hands. If he was driving an ox cart and pulling hundreds of kilograms of fish, the soldiers guarding the gate would not give him face at all.
A small village leader, he was fine in the village, but he ran wild in the city and died without knowing how!
Even if you don't get blackmailed and pay less taxes when you enter the city, what if you go directly to the Lion House after entering the city and ask people if they want fish?
Lai Zhicheng has never dealt with the Lion House, but based on his understanding of those powerful people, ordinary people usually do not get any good results when dealing with them.
In the eyes of the villagers of Wolong Village, Lai Zhicheng is considered the number one figure.
But for a behemoth like the Lion Tower, Lai Zhicheng is not even a bird feather!
Yun Er said that two hundred catties of fish are only worth two taels of silver, and the remaining favors are worth eight taels. But they have no favors, and they can't talk to the people in the Lion House at all!
"Dad, even if we sell it to Shishilou for 2 taels of silver, we can't make it any cheaper than Yun Er."
The boss, Lai Shouren, finally spoke, and his tone was still sinister. You could tell from the first listen that it was not a good thing.
"Okay, the three of us will go into the city together tomorrow. I want to see if Qingyang County is a dragon's den and a tiger's den, and it can eat us!"
…
As soon as he entered the house, Yun Chao felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere.
Aunt Wang and her family are actually still at home.
Lin Youniang, Aunt Wang, and Shitou all looked worried and hesitated to speak.
Yun Chao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the secret about the murder between him and Shitou was exposed?
