"Deputy Envoy Su, please don't push me too hard. If you push me too hard, I will go to your Emperor's Golden Palace to cause trouble. You ignore official business and only care about your own interests. I don't believe it. Your Emperor will let you do whatever you want.
(.)" Xiao Te finally threatened.
Su Jin smiled, turned around and asked the people around him: "Have you ever seen such a person? There are too many weird things these days. Those who look at things are taught a lesson by those who steal them. When did someone who owes money become so shameless?
"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Su Jin asked: "I don't know very well how to deal with such matters reasonably; what should you do if you encounter such a person who refuses to repay his debts?"
A Song Army imperial guard said: "What's not easy to do? In our hometown, if anyone defaults on paying money, the village owner will smash his pots and pans and rip off his house. What's wrong with his house?"
If the money is valuable, they take it to pay off the debt; there are also people who use the debtor’s wife and daughter to pay off the debt.”
Su Jin was surprised and said: "Then the government doesn't care?"
The imperial guard said: "It doesn't matter. Who told you not to pay back your debt? If the prosecutor finds out, according to the law, he will be slapped dozens of times, and then he will still pick out valuable things to pay off the debt. If he can't pay it off, he will have to work to pay off the debt.
, or you’ll just end up in jail.”
Su Jin clapped his hands and said: "The relationship is good, now I have the confidence. Commander Xiao, have you heard? The laws of the Song Dynasty seem to be unfavorable to you. If you are sensible, you can quickly find a way to collect money to pay back the debt."
Money, otherwise I will use valuable things to pay for it. I don’t covet your wife and daughter at home. I just want things that can pay off the debt. Otherwise, I will send you to Kaifeng Mansion to be spanked and put in jail. I heard that Kaifeng Mansion
The prisoners here are very strange. They like you the most, with a big beard and a powerful person. They don’t know what they like about you, but you will know it as soon as you enter."
Xiao Temo cursed angrily and reached out to touch the guy in his waist. More than a dozen Liao soldiers who followed him into the tent also drew their weapons, and for a while there was a loud roar.
Su Jin extended his hand to the entrance and whistled loudly. Suddenly, there was a loud clatter of footsteps, and hundreds of Forbidden Army soldiers came running and surrounded the big tent tightly.
"It seems that the Song Dynasty is really going to fall out with Daliao and me. He is so capable and ambitious."
"Don't talk nonsense. This is a matter between you and me. What does it have to do with the imperial court? Didn't Deputy Ambassador Liu say that I will repay you every penny? You're right, as long as you repay my money, you can go wherever you like.
"
"Okay..." Xiao Temo was trembling slightly with anger. He waved his hand and ordered the Liao soldiers to take back their weapons and said, "I'll use the war horses and camels to pay off the debt. It's all done."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Why don't we end the relationship so quickly? Of course the animals can pay off the debt. Please hurry up and order someone to pick them up. You and I can complete the handover and you can return to your hometown as soon as possible."
Xiao Temo chattered to a Liao soldier next to him, and the Liao soldier nodded and bowed and left the tent.
Su Jin sat down on a stool, beckoned Xiao Sui'er to come over and pinch his shoulders, holding the teacup in his hand with an irritating and carefree look. Xiao Temo was itching with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.
After a while, the horse was brought outside the tent. Xiao Temo said coldly: "Deputy Ambassador Su, the horse is outside the tent. You go and get it, and we will settle the matter."
Su Jin stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Master Xiao, please come first. Let's communicate outside the tent."
When a group of people came out of the tent, the weather gradually cleared up. After the rain stopped, half of the sky in the west was reflected red like blood, and the air was much fresher and clearer. After the rain, the sky was as clear as a wash. This scene was so beautiful that I wanted to write a poem.
Woolen cloth."
Fu Bi almost didn't laugh. This kid tried his best to make Xiao Temo angry. Xiao Temo was very tolerant. He actually pretended not to hear and showed no signs of attack. It was very inconsistent with his powerful appearance.
consistent.
"Where are the horses? Where are they?" Su Jin put up an arbor and looked around, completely ignoring the seven or eight horses lined up around him.
Xiao Temo knew clearly that he was pretending, so he had to grit his teeth and hold it in. He pointed at the horses and said, "Deputy Ambassador Su is so young that his eyesight is not so good. Isn't that right?"
Su Jin turned around, pointed at the horses and said, "What, this is it?"
Xiao Temo frowned and spat: "Deputy Envoy Su, we have no grievances, why do you have to be so pretentious and teasing? Things may not change, maybe one day you, Deputy Envoy Su, will fall into my hands. I advise you to keep one for yourself."
The way back.”
Su Jin nodded and said: "What you said seems to make sense. You are warning me that after your Liao cavalry goes south in the future, I will not be able to escape your grasp."
Xiao Te finally said: "It doesn't matter how you interpret it. The horse is here. You return the IOU to me and we are done."
Su Jin pointed at the horses and shook his head: "These are not horses. They are clearly deer worth only a few taels of silver each. Just these seven or eight skinny deer want to undervalue me by ten thousand."
A debt of two silvers? Master Xiao must be a businessman in his family. He is so smart, so I admire him. It's a pity that I am not the one who was taken advantage of."
Everyone was stunned. Even the soldiers from the Song Dynasty felt that Deputy Ambassador Su was a bit reckless. They were obviously eight fine Khitan horses, each of which was worth at least a thousand guan. However, according to the Deputy Ambassador, they could only be slaughtered and eaten.
Meat of elk.
Fu Bi was secretly amused. Zhao Gao from Qin called a deer a horse, but this man was kind enough to call a horse a deer. At the same time, he was also secretly worried. When would such chaos come to an end? Even if Xiao Temo refused to pay back the money, would he still be able to return the money?
Could he kill him? I don’t know what Su Jin was thinking. They had a good discussion yesterday and said they would use some means to frighten the Liao envoy. Could it be such a lazy means?
Xiao Temo's endurance reached the limit and he yelled: "You are really lazy. Don't think that while you are in the Song Dynasty, I will let you do whatever you want. You have the ability to order someone to chop me down."
, why do you need to play these unsightly tricks to disgust me?"
Su Jin smiled and said: "Master Xiao, don't be angry. Is it really a horse? Then you can swear that this is indeed a horse, and I will believe you."
Xiao Temo spat and said: "Swear to your mother, grandpa will no longer serve you."
Su Jin sneered and said: "If you curse again, I will send you to Kaifeng Mansion Prison to sell your butt."
Xiao Temo stared at Su Jin like a hungry wolf, but never dared to curse again.
Su Jin turned around and asked, "Does any of you know the price of horses? How much is a horse like this with long hair and short legs like a donkey worth?"
Someone replied: "The market price of a well-bred Khitan horse can reach about one thousand guan."
Su Jin scolded: "That's the price of a good Khitan horse. What I'm asking about is the price of these inferior horses."
The soldier was a little confused and was about to say: "Your Majesty, this is a thoroughbred Khitan horse." Someone covered his mouth before he could say anything. Someone immediately answered for him: "The price of a bad horse is not as good as that of an ox.
A few bad horses are worth a hundred times at most."
Su Jin frowned and said, "One hundred guans? It's enough for a common people's family to live for five years. How can such a bad horse be worth so much?"
Xiao Sui'er heard the elegant meaning of the song and suddenly said: "I know, I know."
Su Jin Da Le, the little girl was a little frightened and could not bear to speak until now. This time she finally understood.
"You should tell me about it."
"My cousin is a horse dealer. I grew up in his family, so I know some prices. Generally speaking, the characteristics of a good horse are: head like a shuttle, neck like a bow, hair like oil, skin like satin,
The hooves are like iron, and the hips are like knives... The little maid can see that none of these horses match each other, so there is no doubt that they are bad horses."
Su Jin almost breathed away without laughing. This girl didn't know what she had learned. I'm afraid most of them were made up, but she made them up smoothly.
"Don't talk nonsense, little kid. My good Khitan horse's skin is rough because it has been polished to keep out the cold, its legs are thick and short because it has long endurance, and its hair is messy because it has not been combed. Besides, what's the use of combing the hair beautifully?
It’s just beautiful but useless.”
Xiao Sui'er retorted crisply: "This bearded official, I'm not here to argue with you. I'm just telling you what you know. You don't have to express your position in such a hurry."
Su Jin smiled and said: "Don't pay attention to him. How much can such a bad horse be sold for?"
Xiao Sui'er twirled her fingers and said: "The worse the horse is, the better it is to eat. It has a big appetite and a big temper, but little strength. Not to mention it can't run and ride, and it can't even pull a cart and plow the land as well as a big green mule. This kind of crappy horse is the most common."
Twenty pigeons per horse, I think it is not worth it, it is just a waste of food."
Su Jin pointed out tall and pointed: "Finally I met someone who knows the goods, I almost got fooled. Master Xiao made your horse twenty guan a horse, even if you have 20 guan a horse, ten thousand guan will cost five hundred
Horses, there are eight horses here, you can get 492 more horses, and we can complete the delivery. You can take the IOU, and from now on we will not infringe upon the river."
Xiao Temo wanted to die. Today he met a scoundrel. He used to think that he was already shameless and despicable, but the lazy young man in front of him was ten times, no, a hundred times more shameless than him! No!
Thousand times.
Xiao Temo's blood surged upwards, and he couldn't hold back his fiery temper. He secretly considered whether he should reach out and break the young man's thin neck, but when he thought about it again, Tu Yi would be catastrophic in a short time.
I can only hold back forcefully.
"It seems that Chief Xiao can't get more than 400 bad horses to pay off the debt. I remember that you only have a hundred or so animals in total, which is only more than 2,000 silver taels. How are you going to pay off the debt with the rest?" Su Jin scratched his head and asked.
.
Xiao Temo sneered: "What do you think we should do?"
Su Jin thought hard for a long time with a frown on his face, and suddenly said: "Yes, the weapons and armor of your Liao soldiers are quite novel, especially your big mace. It seems to be made of pure iron, but it is worth a few dollars. What better way?
You price your armor, horses, carts, and your scrap metal weapons together. Although it's still a bit short, I have to make do with it. If I lose, I'll lose. Who told me to meet you, Master Xiao, to do this?
He's a poor jingle person."
Xiao Temo roared and reached out to grab Su Jin's neck. Wang Chao on the side quickly made a move to parry Xiao Temo's heavy grab and pulled Su Jin back quickly.
Xiao Temo had already taken action and no longer hesitated. He roared several times, and more than a hundred Liao soldiers rushed forward to force a fight. A melee was about to break out when he saw it.
At this moment, there was a loud "boom", thick smoke billowing up, and a small earth bag beside the tent exploded, causing mud and rocks to fly and fall all over everyone's heads and faces.
Everyone stopped in astonishment and saw Su Jin holding a black pipe with black smoke emitting in his hand, shouting: "Whoever takes one step forward again, I will blow his head off!"
