He rubbed his hands vigorously and said expectantly, "Where's the basin?!"
"Didn't take it."
"Ah?!" Ximen Qing's eyes instantly turned red. "Didn't you take it?"
"Brother, don't panic." Earl Ying hurriedly explained, "It's useless to take it. I've used it in various ways. It's just a basin."
Ximen Qing ‘(⊙﹏⊙)’
"Brother, if you don't believe it, find a chance to go and see for yourself." Earl Ying said in a low voice, "I've tried many times, but it's useless to throw money in."
After wandering around for a few times with his hands behind his back, Ximen Qing looked at Earl Ying with a somewhat evil look in his eyes: "Are you trying to frame me?"
"Brother~~~" Earl Ying called Tian Qu, "If I deceive my brother, I will be struck by lightning and die."
"You go and make friends with that Wu Da." Ximen Qing quickly made a decision, "I will entertain Wu Er again in a few days. You guys can help entangle him, and then you can find a way to trick Wu Da out for a drink."
Earl Ying knew that Ximen Qing was worried and wanted to try the pot himself.
I feel dissatisfied but I can't say it out. After all, I'm just a follower who eats and drinks, so I can only say so.
The anxious Ximen Qing returned to the backyard with his hands behind his back.
When passing by the wing, he heard the high-pitched and exciting ensemble music coming from the room. Ximen Qing was also stunned by it, "So fierce?"
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, Ximen Qing saw Xue'e limping and felt that Wu Er was indeed a member of the same group.
A few days later, Wuhan University began to make a decision, and the impatient Ximen Qing invited Li Yunze to his home again.
Ximen Qing already knew that Li Yunze could drink a thousand cups, so he simply gave up the idea of getting him drunk.
After drinking all afternoon, he called over the charming Xue'e and helped Li Yunze to rest.
Afterwards, Count Ying went to lure Wu Da away to have a drink, and Ximen Qing took the opportunity to sneak into the Wu family courtyard on Zishi Street.
Ximen Qing, holding a candle, rummaged around Li Yunze's room without noticing that a camera on the beam above his head was silently watching him.
It didn't take too long for the official from Ximen to dig out a beautifully crafted basin from under Li Yunze's bed.
The basin is very beautiful, with the intricate patterns engraved by the laser, the heavy quality of the alloy material, and the bright colors. Everything makes this basin so unique.
"What a good thing." Ximen Qing's eyes were shining, and he couldn't put it down while stroking the colorful basin.
After a while, he saw something under the bed. He reached out and pulled it out, but it turned out to be a very heavy bundle.
Ximen Qing's hands trembled as he unwrapped the baggage.
This baggage is actually filled with shining silver ingots!
He recognized it at first sight. It was exactly the same as the silver Li Yunze used to settle the bill in the Lion House.
A bag of silver is exactly the same, and they all look brand new.
They are all made by factory machines, of course brand new and exactly the same.
The amount of silver in this baggage was at least several hundred taels.
Holding back his excitement, Ximen Qing put all the silver ingots into the basin, but found that there were too many to put down.
"It's definitely not picked up silver." Recalling what Count Ying had said from Wu Dalang, Ximen Qing concluded that so much silver was definitely not picked up, because it couldn't fit in the basin.
"That is to say." Ximen Qing kept rubbing the basin, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, "Is it really a cornucopia?"
Ximen Qing subconsciously wanted to take the basin away, but he put it down as soon as he picked it up.
Then he put the silver ingots in one by one, rubbed the basin, covered it with a cloth, chanted incantations around the basin, and knelt down to pray.
Ximen Qing used all the moves he could think of, but it was a pity that they were of no use. The pot was still the same pot, and not a single ingot of silver was left.
"There must be a special way to open this kind of magical object."
Not finding a way to open the cornucopia, Ximen Qing didn't dare to take it directly.
That Wu Er is a monster, with natural supernatural power and proficiency with guns and sticks. If he is caught after knowing that he has lost the treasure, he will be dead.
The most important thing is, I don't know how to use this thing.
"We have to find a way to get words out of Wu Er." He reluctantly put the basin and silver back under the bed. After packing them up and exiting, Ximen Qing's mind was filled with the shadow of the basin.
In the next few days, Ximen Qing entertained Li Yunze very warmly, and the maids at home took turns trying to find out where the money came from.
I never thought that Wu Er was extremely shrewd and would not reveal anything even if he was drunk.
As Ximen Qing gradually calmed down, he began to wonder, 'Is there really a cornucopia in the world?'
Then that day, Li Yunze took him and his followers to discuss the purchase of a store with the famous Zhang Dahu in the county.
Zhang Dahu is a well-known wealthy man in the county, with a fortune of hundreds of houses.
Li Yunze took a fancy to his family's large shop on the busiest street in the county, and wanted to buy it for Wu Dalang to use as a sesame seed shop.
"The business of my shop is very good." Zhang Dahu, who is about sixty years old and looks a bit wealthy in his outer attire, "Do you want to buy and sell sesame cakes? How many years will your brother have to sell sesame cakes to earn back his capital?"
Li Yunze, who was sitting on the chair, waved his sleeves coolly, "My family has been selling sesame cakes for many years. I don't need Zhang to care. I just ask the price."
Zhang Dahu chuckled, "If you don't sell the shop, why should I sell my profitable shop to you?"
"Five hundred taels." Li Yunze opened his palm and said, "Five hundred taels will buy your shop."
Zhang Dahu's heart moved slightly, but he quickly waved his hand, "No sale."
The wealth of the Song Dynasty was concentrated in Bianliang City.
If it were in Bianliang City, an ordinary shop would cost at least ten thousand taels.
But in Qinghe County, five hundred taels is considered fair.
"One thousand taels." Li Yunze simply raised a finger, "I will buy your shop for one thousand taels."
‘Hiss~~~’
Ximen Qing and others who came to set up the rice seedlings took in their breaths one after another.
"Brother Wu," Ximen Qing persuaded, "Although Zhang Dahu's shop is good, one thousand taels is too much. Eight hundred taels is enough."
Zhang Dahu looked at Li Yunze in surprise. Can this kid get a thousand taels?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Dahu still shook his head: "My shop can make over a hundred taels a year, so I won't sell it."
"Two thousand taels." Li Yunze raised his two fingers without any hesitation. "Two thousand taels, it will take your shop ten or twenty years to earn back."
Now Zhang Dahu was really tempted.
Although his family was extremely wealthy, such a large sum of two thousand taels really touched his heart.
After all, fixed assets and cash, of course, cash is better.
"Can you have two thousand taels?" Zhang Dahu expressed doubts about Li Yunze's ability to pay.
"Wait." Li Yunze stood up immediately and winked at Ximen Qing, "I'll get it for you now."
Ximen Qing, who was very excited, quickly got up and followed Li Yunze to Zishi Street.
"Master, please wait outside." After arriving outside the room, Li Yunze continued to trick him, "I'll go get the money."
"Okay, Brother Wu, go ahead."
Ximen Qing knew very well that Li Yunze had more than six hundred taels of silver hidden under the bed. If he wanted two thousand taels, he would definitely get the basin.
Whether it succeeds or not depends on now.
He carefully hid under the window, trying desperately to see clearly what was going on inside through the thick window paper.
The window paper in movies and TV shows can be broken through with saliva. Just laugh about it.
The paper used to paper windows in this era was very thick, not to mention drool-proof and could not get through even if it rained.
Ximen Qing could only vaguely see Li Yunze's figure wandering inside.
Then I heard some strange words coming from the room, "One warehouse, one warehouse, a sack at the bridge, a tourniquet, the front wheel does not turn, the back wheel turns~~~"
Then, a flash of silver light suddenly flashed in the room, and then there was the crisp sound of silver falling to the ground.
Ximen Qing's neck was about to break. Unfortunately, he couldn't clearly see the specific process.
Ximen Qing's heart was scratching like a cat, and he wished he could break the window and get in right now. His hands were so sweaty.
The light in the room dissipated, and within a short time, Li Yunze opened the door and came out, holding a large package in his hand.
"Official, help me hold it." Li Yunze casually stuffed the package into Ximen Qing's arms.
Two thousand taels of silver weighed more than a hundred kilograms. Ximen Qing held it in his arms and weighed it briefly, and he knew the approximate weight.
I quietly opened the package and took a peek. It was all filled with beautiful silver ingots that shone brightly!
He could swear that the last time he came over to take a peek, Li Yunze had hundreds of taels of stuff under his bed.
Now these
Without the slightest precaution, without the slightest hesitation, the truth has definitely come to light, and we can finally take action. That exquisite basin is a cornucopia!
Ximen Qing, whose legs were trembling, carefully held the package and looked back at Li Yunze's room every step of the way.
A cornucopia, that's a cornucopia.
As long as you have this treasure, you will be the richest person in the world!
For a moment, Ximen Qing wanted to capture Li Yunze immediately and force him to hand over the spell for using the cornucopia.
Li Yunze, who had his back to Ximen Qing, suddenly leaned over and picked up a stone hammer that weighed at least 200 kilograms and was used for exercise, and he tossed it around in his hand.
He smiled and turned to Ximen Qing and joked, "Master Ximen, when you have time, let's discuss it again."
It was like a basin of cold water was poured on his head, Ximen Qing calmed down instantly.
I can't beat him, even if I bring my brothers together, I can't beat him. This guy is a monster.
If you can't take it by force, you can only use it wisely.
It's not difficult to get the basin, but if you don't know the spells, it's useless to get the basin.
How can we trick the spell out of Wu Er's mouth?
Ximen Qing racked his brains and couldn't come up with a solution until he came to Zhang Dahu.
Seeing that Li Yunze actually brought out two thousand taels of silver, Zhang Dahu did not hesitate and wrote the transfer contract very simply on the spot. Both parties signed and pledged the money in one hand and the land deed in the other.
From then on, this good shop with an excellent location became Wu Dalang’s sesame cake shop.
Ximen Qing, whose heartbeat was beating like a drum, smiled and came forward to say hello, "Brother Wu, how about you come to my house to have a drink and celebrate. The maids at home are all looking forward to you."
"It's boring."
Li Yunze waved his hand very simply, "It's boring."
Ximen Qing was very anxious and said hurriedly, "Good brother, your sister-in-law has made a new dish at home and has been saying that she wants you to try it. I must give your sister-in-law some face."
"Hmm~~~"
Li Yunze nodded slowly, "That's alright, let's try my sister-in-law's craftsmanship."
