A Clash of Gods - Chapter 520

[Chapter 521 Redemption]

Qi Ning smiled and said: “The Poison King doesn’t have to be in a hurry. If you want to see the emperor, you have to tell the emperor in advance. I will report to the emperor that the poison king has come to Beijing as scheduled. If the emperor summons me, I will immediately send someone to inform the poison king. By the way. , I don’t know where the king of gambling is staying in the capital?”

Qiu Qianyi didn’t talk nonsense, he told his whereabouts, and after Qi Ning wrote it down, he said: “The Poison King has been staying there for a few days, as soon as there is news, I will send someone to find you immediately, so as not to get the emperor. Summoned, but there is no trace of the poison king.”

Swing Qianyi sneered: “Are you worried that the old man will cause you trouble in the capital? You brought me into the capital. If the old man really kills and sets fire, you can’t get rid of it.”

Qi Ning smiled bitterly and said, “The Poison King is an expert in the rivers and lakes. If he really wants to kill and set fire in the capital, this style is too low.”

“Don’t worry, the old man won’t kill and set fire. If he really wants to kill, he will only kill one person.” Qiu Qianyi said lightly: “Duan Qingchen has taken refuge in the Shenhou Mansion, maybe hiding in the capital, and the old man will naturally search for his whereabouts. “Look like a knife: “If the old man finds him, he will naturally smash his body into ten thousand pieces.”

Qi Ning just smiled and didn’t say much. Swing Yi got up and said, “Old man go first.” No nonsense, when he walked to the gate, he suddenly thought of something, stopped and didn’t look back, just said : “Qining, your doll’s temperament is good, it’s no wonder that the heroes of the Qi family in Jinyi still have some way of doing things.” Without further words, he left quickly.

After breakfast the next day, Qi Ning asked Gu Qinghan about the location of the Gu family’s pawnshop, Gu Qinghan was in a low mood, and said, “As soon as today is over, the bank will take away the pawnshop, you can still see the Gu family’s pawnshop when you go today, and tomorrow I changed my surname to someone else.” Qi Ning told her that she would try her best to keep the pawnshop, but Gu Qinghan knew very well that the money from the bank could not be returned, and others would not be polite, but where could he find tens of thousands of taels of silver in a short time.

Although Jinyi Hou’s mansion still has some money in the treasury, it is not enough to transfer the money of Hou’s mansion. The government’s treasury silver is far from that number.

Qi Ning gave a few words of consolation, without saying much, and went straight to Gu’s pawnshop after leaving the house.

Inside the Gu family’s pawnshop, it was deserted, but Gu Wenwen arrived at the pawnshop early in the morning. The shopkeeper Jiang had already fled. There were originally five or six guys in the pawnshop, but after the incident happened to the Gu family, everyone knew that it was a liaison. The wages didn’t come out, and they had already left each other, leaving only the family tree of the Gu family to guard here.

The pawnshop was deserted, and the sign that it was closed had already been hung outside the door.

“Master, is this shop really going to be taken away tomorrow?” The servant saw Gu Wenwen sitting in a chair and approached, and asked cautiously, “There is really no way for the third lady?”

Gu Wenwen shook his head, but this setback also made his spirit disappear, and said with a wry smile: “What else can I do? I was confused for a while, I knew now, I shouldn’t have come to the capital in the first place, and be honest. There won’t be so many things in Gangneung.”

The servant said, “Uncle, even if we close the shop, it’s not a dead end. Let’s go back to Jiangling, and food and clothing will not be a problem. The Gu family still has a farm in Jiangling!”

“That has already been mortgaged.” Gu Wenwen said angrily: “I am not in control now. After today, the surnamed Qiao really wants to take over the Zhuangzi and the property in Jiangling, and I have nothing to do.”

The servant said in frustration: “Master Hou doesn’t help either. As an official of his size, as long as you say something, who would dare to accept our shop.”

“There’s nothing he can do about this kind of thing.” Gu Wenwen understood, “It’s only natural to pay back the debt, even if the palace owes money to the outside world, can it still be a default?” He raised his hand and slapped himself, “Anyway, this is I was all confused for a while, and the old lady is still worried at this age, hey, now that everything has been tossed, how can I still have the face to go back to Jiangling!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside, and then he saw several figures entering the pawnshop,

The servant immediately went up and said: “I’m sorry, a few, the pawnshops are closed, and if you don’t accept the pawn, a few are still!” when.”

Gu Wenwen didn’t have the mood to care about these people at first, he was sighing, when he heard a voice, he raised his head like a conditioned reflex, suddenly looked over, jumped up from the chair, rushed up in two steps, raised his finger and pointed at the person who came, “Yes. Is it you? You bastard, how dare you to deceive me?” He raised his fist and was about to hit him.

The man immediately took two steps back, but two people came up beside him, all of them tall and big, they stopped Gu Wenwen, and one of them reached out and grabbed Gu Wenwen’s wrist. Seeing that man smiled and said, “Uncle Gu, what do you mean? If you don’t welcome guests well, and you even beat them, it’s no wonder that your shop is going to close down.”

However, Gu Wenwen recognized that the person who came to the door was actually the owner of the two fakes.

He originally thought that this person had lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and had long since disappeared without a trace from the capital, but he never imagined that this person would bring someone to redeem him.

The big man holding Gu Wenwen’s wrist pushed hard, Gu Wenwen took a few steps back before barely standing still, his eyes were cracked, and he said angrily, “Who the hell are you?”

The man laughed and said, “The next name is Kong, the trumpet is Kong Erhu, Master Gu, you took my paintings, and you don’t even know my name, hahaha, your business is really good. He walked over and sat down on a chair. The four big men who followed him were all environmentally friendly and with thick arms. They stood behind Kong Erhu, all of them looking fierce and arrogant.

Gu Wenwen tried his best to calm himself down and asked, “You lied to me for money, why are you running here?”

“Master Gu, I don’t understand what you’re saying.” Kong Erhu crossed Erlang’s legs and put his right fingers on his nostrils, “My two paintings are worthwhile, and it is agreed that they can be redeemed within half a month. , today is the last day, I will bring money to redeem, there will be no problem, right?” He reached into his arms, took out a thick stack of silver notes, placed it on the case at hand, and patted it lightly. , and took out the deed with fingerprints hidden in his arms, and said: “We made it very clear that day, two paintings, you use 130,000 taels to take back, I should pay 160,000 taels for redemption, Master Gu, Here is a silver note of 160,000 taels, a penny is not much, bring two paintings, the 160,000 taels are yours.”

Gu Wenwen was stunned for a while, his heart sank. The two paintings had already been burned in public by Qi Ning at Cui Deyuan last night, so how could they show it at this time?

After all, he is not a fool, and after a slight turn of his mind, he understands in his heart.

If there was no Cui Deyuan’s burning painting last night, this Kong Erhu would never have come to redeem it today. It is precisely because Kong Ergou knew that the two fake paintings had been burned, so he swaggered forward.

“Why, Master Gu, is there something wrong?” Kong Erhu said triumphantly, “Could it be that there is something wrong with those two paintings? We can agree in advance that if those two paintings are damaged, you will You have to pay me 300,000 taels of silver.”

Gu Wenwen sneered: “Kong Erhu, those two paintings of yours are fakes, how dare you pass them off as real.”

“Master Gu, I never said it was true.” Kong Erhu smiled and said, “It was the shopkeeper of your pawnshop who told you that it was true. I just brought two paintings here. A layman like me is also I don’t know if the two paintings are real or not. It’s always good to have more money for emergency use. But I believe in what I say. Even if it’s two fake paintings, I don’t cheat people. I will come back today as promised. .” He leaned forward slightly, “It doesn’t matter whether those two paintings are true or not, the important thing is that you must exchange those two paintings for me now.” Picking up the thick stack of silver notes, “Two paintings Draw it to me, 160,000 taels of silver will be yours, if you can’t hand it over, then you have to give me another 170,000 taels of silver, right?”

The servant couldn’t bear it any longer, and said angrily, “You are cheating. Your uncle, let’s report to the official!”

“Report to the official?” Kong Erhu laughed and said, “You don’t have to worry, if I really can’t get those two paintings out, you don’t need to report to the official, we will do it ourselves.” Shaking the deed in his hand, “This is written on it. It’s clear that you have nothing to say even when you meet the official. Yes, I know that behind you is Jin Yihou, but Jin Yihou must also be reasonable and cannot bully others.”

“Yes, Jin Yihou never bullies others.” Kong Ergou just finished speaking, and a voice came from outside the door: “Jin Yihou can only reason with people.” In the voice, several figures came in from outside the door. , the first one was Jin Yiyu Belt, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com was Qi Ning.

Gu Wenwen saw Qi Ning coming over, like a drowning man who saw straw. He was overjoyed and hurried over and said, “Master Hou, this guy has come to redeem himself.”

Qi Ning nodded with a smile, turned to look at the person beside him, and said with a smile, “Young Master Yuan, did you hear what you just said?” Beside him, it was Yuan Rong.

Yuan Rong smiled and said, “I heard it clearly.”

When Kong Ergou saw that Qi Ning brought people in, he looked a little flustered, but at this moment, there were a lot of people crowding around the door. There were shopkeepers on the left and right sides of the pawnshop. At this time, when I saw a group of people coming to the pawnshop, I couldn’t help being curious, and they all crowded in front of the door to watch.

After Qi Ning entered the room, Gu Wenwen immediately ordered someone to hold a chair, Qi Ning and Yuan Rong sat down opposite the Kong Ergou, and looked at the Kong Ergou with a smile. There was some hair on his body, and he dared to sit and stand up, but he still tried his best to remain calm and cupped his hands: “Little Kong Erhu, meet and greet Hou Ye!”

“Kong Erhu, what a good name!” Qi Ning laughed, “Kong Erhu, the accent seems to be from the capital?”

Kong Erhu smiled reluctantly and said, “My father and my father moved to the capital twenty years ago, and the villain also followed him into the capital. He has lived in the capital for more than 20 years, and he is considered a citizen of the capital.”

“I don’t know where you got those two paintings from?” Qi Ning asked with a smile: “Is it an ancestral thing, or did you get it occasionally? Or, did someone ask you to send it to the pawnshop?”

Kong Erhu changed color slightly and smiled reluctantly: “Master Hou, how to get it, it doesn’t seem to be important, right? The villain is inconvenient to say. The villain came today to redeem the promise, so it doesn’t violate the king’s law, right? ”

Qi Ning laughed and said, “No, no, repayment of debts, redemption of loans, these are all things that are only right and proper, there is no mistake.”
