Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

But she knew that if she didn't give the Cui family an explanation today, let alone whether the two of them would be able to leave the Cui family.

Even if his father attends his memorial tomorrow, he will be handed over to His Majesty Li Shimin like snowflakes.

Just thinking about how to solve today's matter.

Chu Mo on the side saw an imposing middle-aged man walking out of the hall to question Li Zhen, and knew that this person was probably the head of the Cui family.

So, he pushed away the servant who was standing in front of him, and faced Leo Cui Zheng and said arrogantly: "Are you the head of the Cui family?"

Hearing Chu Mo's question, Cui Zheng was stunned for a moment, then realized that the other party was asking him, and immediately said angrily:

"Where does this brat from nowhere dare to act so arrogantly in my Cui Mansion?"

Chu Mo also made up his mind at this time. If he didn't know anything today, he might not be able to leave the Cui family.

So he yelled in an even more angry tone: "You dare to speak to me like this, aren't you afraid that I will destroy your three clans?"

Cui Zheng didn't expect that Chu Mo would dare to threaten him, and immediately burst into laughter: "Destroy our three clans, let alone you, a young boy who came from nowhere, even Li Shimin, he didn't dare to say Such big talk."

Chu Mo's heart skipped a beat. Oops, this time the bragging got to the point where he was awesome and encouraged the other party.

But now that life and death are in the hands of others, he must not shrink back, so he strangled his neck and said, "You ignorant thing, do you know who I am?"

Cui Zheng looked at Chu Mo and then at Butler Cui on the ground. He understood instantly and burst into laughter:

"Boy, I didn't expect you to be so courageous. You deceived the housekeeper of my Cui Mansion before, and now you even come to the door. But let's not talk about it. Your courage, tsk tsk tsk, really opened my eyes."

Chu Mo was stunned. He didn't expect that someone would know the details before he started deceiving him, and he would immediately say something else.

Cui Zheng snorted coldly and yelled at the group of guards and servants: "Why are you still standing there, why don't you catch this liar!"

Only then did the guards react, rushing in front of Chu Mo and throwing him to the ground.

Chu Mo was about to speak and continue to fool around with him.Unexpectedly, a wooden stick came from nowhere and knocked him unconscious.

Li Zhen didn't expect things to turn out like this. Just as she was about to step forward to stop him, she was stopped by the rest of the Cui family's guards.

"Young Master Li, this is not your Duke Wei's mansion. Are you sure you want to get involved with this kid?"

Li Zhen looked at Chu Mo who had fainted on the ground and had blood streaming from his head. He gritted his teeth and said, "Master Cui, are you going too far to deceive others by doing this?"

Cui Zheng chuckled, pointed at Butler Cui on the ground and said, "This kid blackmailed more than 100 young men of my family and 1 taels of silver. Do you think I should punish him or beat him to death on the spot?"

Li Zhen was stunned. He didn't expect Chu Mo and the Cui family to have such a layer of karma. If he brought him to the Cui family, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?

He immediately frowned and said, "Master Cui, you have a lot of money. Please spare him this time. I will compensate for the losses of your Cui family. What do you think?"

Cui Zheng's eyes flickered, he suddenly laughed, and asked: "What does this person on the ground have to do with you?"

Li Zhen looked at Chu Mo, then met Cui Zheng's eyes that seemed to be ridiculing and teasing. She bit her silver teeth and said, "This is my fiancé. Please show mercy, Master Cui."

Cui Zheng looked at Li Zhen carefully and did not expect that she would say that he was his fiancé for such a liar.

Immediately snorted: "In that case, Mr. Li Si, for the sake of Duke Wei, I can give you this face. However, the loss of our Cui family and the medical expenses of the housekeeper, I don't know what you want." compensation?"

Li Zhen took a deep breath and said: "Master Cui, this is all a misunderstanding. I am willing to compensate you 1 shi of grain as compensation."

Cui Zheng was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the other party would only compensate some money at most, but he did not expect that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, he would directly compensate with food.

Li Zhen had no choice. All the money in her hands had been turned into food. Now, she could only use food to pay off her debts. At the same time, she was also prepared to be attacked by the lion.

"Haha, Mr. Li Fourth, I didn't expect you to be so generous."

Cui Zhengpi said with a smile, and then changed his tone: "Master Li Si, do you think too highly of your Duke Wei's mansion and look down on my Cui family too much? You want to use this mere [-] shi of food to destroy the family?" Shall we send it off?"

"This boy of unknown origin has defrauded more than tens of thousands of taels of money alone, as well as hundreds of skilled craftsmen from my Cui family. What do you think these 1 stones of grain can be used for?"

Li Zhen didn't expect that the dignified head of the Cui family would be so shameless. The 1 taels of silver he had mentioned just now had now turned into tens of thousands taels.

And those ordinary servants were described by him as skilled craftsmen.

Although she was angry in her heart, Li Zhen did not dare to continue arguing with the other party at this time.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and asked, "Then what are the plans of the Cui family?"

Cui Zheng made some calculations secretly, and the boy asked for 1 shi of grain as soon as he opened his mouth, which showed that he had a lot of grain in his hands.

And for such a boy, she would not hesitate to slander her reputation and pay a huge price to offend the Cui family, but she also wanted to keep him, which shows that the relationship is average.

So, the old fox chuckled and showed a strange smile: "Master Li, let's do this. The fixed price is 20 stones of grain. As long as you deliver the grain, I will forget the blame."

When Li Zhen heard this, she immediately became angry: "Master Cui, don't go too far. Don't say that I don't have 20 stones of food. Even if I do, do you think I can use it?"

Cui Zheng sneered: "If Fourth Young Master Li can't make the decision, then ask your father Li Jing to come to me. I just want to know how much he will be worth as a son-in-law in the future?"

Li Zhen clenched her little fist and really wanted to punch this old guy in the face.

But she knew that now was not the time to be impulsive. The most important thing now was to keep Chu Mo.

After calming down, Li Zhen spoke again: "Master Cui, I only have 10 stones of food in hand. If you are willing, we will trade now. If not, then we don't need to continue talking."

Seeing the seriousness on Li Zhen's face, Cui Zheng knew that this might be the other party's bottom line, and immediately laughed: "Then I will give this face to Young Master Li."

"Come here, take this man down and treat him well. Don't neglect him. We will release him when Mr. Li Si brings the food."
