Within a moment, Wu Zhi led people to the Lion Tower.
Wang Changgui hurriedly welcomed Wu Zhi into the wing. As soon as Wu Zhi entered the room, Wang Changgui knelt down with a plop: "Wu Yasi, please, please save me!"
"Shopkeeper Wang, you can't do this. Get up quickly. We have something to talk about."
Wu Zhi helped Wang Changgui up from the ground. After Wang Changgui explained what had just happened with tears and runny noses, Wu Zhi frowned slightly.
"This Ximen Qing is domineering in our Yanggu County, and I, Wu Zhi, have long been dissatisfied with him. I have a way to solve this matter, but I'm worried that you won't agree, shopkeeper."
Wang Changgui hurriedly said: "Wu Yasi, as long as we can guard this Lion Tower, I can agree to any conditions."
This Wang Changgui is also a person in the scene. He knows that the word "official" has two "k" words. If you ask others to do things, you must pay money.
While he was talking, the waiter came in from the door, holding a small wooden box in his hand. When he opened the wooden box, Wu Zhi couldn't help but was stunned, because there were two shining gold ingots inside!
"Wu Yasi, there are fifty taels of gold here."
One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver!
Wu Zhi's expression remained unchanged, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly and he said to Wang Changgui: "Shopkeeper Wang, you are mistaking me, Wu Zhi, for doing this."
"I absolutely cannot ask for your gold, and not only do I not want it, but I also want to give you a sum of money."
Wang Changgui looked at Wu Zhi blankly. He thought he heard wrongly. Over the years of doing business, how had their family gotten any money from officials? They had always secretly stuffed their hard-earned money into
In their waistbands.
Before Wang Changgui could react, Wu Zhi said again: "If you want Ximen Qing to stop causing trouble for your Lion Building, you must give the Lion Building a new look. You transfer the Lion Building to me."
Wang Changgui's heart suddenly went cold!
Wang Changgui, who had completely given up, suddenly exploded. He spat at Wu Zhi: "Wu Yasi, everyone says you are a benevolent and righteous man, how come you do this kind of thing like them!?"
"I invited you here with good intentions and gave you fifty taels of gold, but you want to occupy my building!?"
Wu Zhi smiled without saying a word and clapped his hands.
I saw Bai Sheng and another waiter carrying a bamboo basket in. When he opened the lid, Wang Changgui couldn't help being shocked because there were so many silver ingots inside!
"Here are one thousand taels, which is the money I paid to buy your Lion House."
"You should know better than me who Ximen Qing is. If he is not allowed to see the money, he will never give up. But don't worry, this is the Lion Tower. It is actually yours. I just put up a name."
That’s all.”
Wang Changgui knelt down in front of Wu Zhi with a "plop"! He slapped himself twice in succession: "Wu Yasi, I, Wang Changgui, am not a human being, and I am not a human being! Wu Yasi's righteousness is too small to help the needy! Your great brother
My great grace, I, Wang Changgui, will never be able to repay you even in this lifetime!"
Wang Changgui seemed to have thought of something and said quickly: "Wu Yasi, I can't take your money in vain. Let's do this, I will give you half of the Lion House!"
"No, no, I'm just here to help you, how can I take your things?"
Wang Changgui held Wu Zhi's hand tightly: "Wu Yasi, please don't refuse. This is not only my heart, but also a life-saving talisman for me! As long as you are here, I no longer have to worry about Ximen Qing robbing me."
It’s my building!”
Early the next morning, Ximen Qing took Hua Zixu and a bunch of other friends and swaggered to the Lion House. The Lion House is the largest restaurant in Yanggu County, and Ximen Qing had always wanted to find an opportunity to take it over. Now that he got his wish, he suddenly felt
My whole body is relaxed and my heart is full of joy.
But when Ximen Qing and others entered the lobby of the Lion Building, they saw Wu Zhi coming down from upstairs in fine clothes.
The clothes of the Song Dynasty are more troublesome. Except for Wu Zhi who would wear a "uniform" when he went to the yamen to "work", he would wear new clothes that had been re-sewn by tailors.
Although the fabric of this kind of clothing is the same as that of ordinary people, the tailoring is completely different. It has the sophistication and simplicity of later generations' clothing, but also the grace and elegance of Song Dynasty clothing.
"Hey, isn't this a senior official from Ximen? How come you have time to come to my Lion Tower?"
