Jianghu are all masters

131.

Don't say that Cao Zilian was surprised. After Zhang Xiaoyuan said this, Lu Zhaoming couldn't help but look back at him, his eyes full of doubts, as if he didn't understand why he wanted to help these two people.

Needless to say, Cao Zilian, he just felt that Zhang Xiaoyuan had no good intentions at all, and when he asked for a loan at this time, he was probably trying to blackmail him severely.

As for the inexplicable involvement of Zhang Xiaoyuan in this matter, the shopkeeper also felt a little strange, but as long as someone can pay the money, it is a good thing, and he doesn't care who pays the money.

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked him: "Shall we talk aside?"

Cao Zilian was still full of vigilance.

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly. He knew Cao Zilian's weakness, so he naturally knew how to persuade him, so he deliberately lowered his voice, and whispered to Cao Zilian: "There are so many people watching here, if they know that you can't even get out of 57 taels Come on, what a shame."

Cao Zilian: "..."

Cao Zilian gritted his teeth with difficulty and said, "They already know."

Zhang Xiaoyuan said that he would lend him money, and the curious spectators around him could hear him clearly. Now everyone knows that he is Cao Zilian, the future master of evil ways, and now he is so poor that he can’t even afford 57 taels, so pitiful It is really shameful and shameful for one's enemy to take the initiative to borrow words!

"It's different." Zhang Xiaoyuan explained to him patiently, "A hero never dies, and you will make a comeback in the future. This matter will only make others admire you."

Cao Zilian was startled: "Admiration for me?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "I am self-made, I can bend and stretch, of course I admire it!"

Cao Zilian: "..."

Seeing that Cao Zilian frowned, as if he was thinking carefully, he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and said, "It's better to ask me to borrow money than to ask someone else!"

Cao Zilian looked up at him, even more confused.

Why did he remember that Zhang Xiaoyuan's senior had beaten him just a few days ago, or twice.

"For ordinary people, 57 taels is not a small amount. You may only be able to borrow high-interest money. The shopkeeper's incomplete guarantee is just to give you high-interest money." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "The interest rate is so high, you can afford it. up?"

Cao Zilian: "I..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "In the future, when you become famous in the world, rumors may start to spread in the world, saying that you have a reputation after all, but you owe money and don't pay it back."

Cao Zilian: "..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "You don't have to worry about borrowing money from me. I don't charge interest."

Cao Zilian was completely shaken.

He felt that what Zhang Xiaoyuan said was very reasonable, it was so reasonable!

Not only did he think what Zhang Xiaoyuan said was reasonable, but he turned his head to look at Ashaner, and found that Ashaner also seemed to think that Zhang Xiaoyuan was very reasonable.

People in the righteous way do have a kind heart!

It's just...he still hesitated somewhat.

Cao Zilian also lowered his voice, and asked Zhang Xiaoyuan in a low voice: "What do you want?"

"I want you to do one thing for me." Zhang Xiaoyuan blinked innocently and said, "It's just that I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you later."

He saw that Cao Zilian wanted to refuse as soon as he heard this sentence, so he went on to say: "Don't worry, this matter will never hurt your school or my sect, and it will never make you violate your 'morality'."

Cao Zilian asked back: "How can I trust you?"

"We can make written evidence." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "You write an IOU, and I will write this sentence below, sign and draw a note, one copy per person, if someone violates it in the future, or refuses to obey, just take this IOU If you come out, you will be ruined."

Cao Zilian: "Even in black and white..."

People in the evil way may not be able to abide by the agreement on paper.

Zhang Xiaoyuan saw that he would worry about not being able to afford 57 taels of silver, and knew that although he was a man of evil ways, he should still be loyal. If he really wrote an IOU, Cao Zilian himself would never violate it easily.

Zhang Xiaoyuan patted his chest and said, "I am a righteous person!"

Cao Zilian thought about it, and he was right. Righteous people are different from evil people. These people talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. Even if they are hypocrites, if anyone can show evidence of his hypocrisy, this person will be ruined, Zhang Xiaoyuan said If so, he should be able to believe it.

He nodded, held Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand, and said, "I believe in you."

Lu Zhaoming stood aside, his eyes widened slightly, completely unaware of what happened just now.

And... 57 taels of silver, isn't that much? !

He turned his head and looked at A Shan'er beside him, and found that A Shan'er was just like him, with his eyes wide open in a daze, his appearance seemed to be that he didn't understand Zhang Xiaoyuan's words at all because of his poor Mandarin.

Zhang Xiaoyuan borrowed a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the shopkeeper, first asked Cao Zilian to write the IOU, and then he wrote the agreement on the bottom. When the ink on the paper was dry, he took one and gave the other to Cao Zilian. Only then did he take out a bank note from his small purse.

He stacked all the banknotes in one piece at the beginning, and the ones he brought at home plus the one given to him by the shopkeeper of Zuixian Pavilion that day, now there are 800 taels of silver, 50 taels of silver bills, and a small stack .He took out one, and took out a few pieces of silver from the purse, but he did not hand it over to Cao Zilian, but smiled at him and whispered, "I'll hand over the money to the shopkeeper."

Cao Zilian didn't object at all.

He stared at the pile of banknotes and broken silver in Zhang Xiaoyuan's hand, obviously stunned.

He doesn't understand.

It is said that killing people and setting fire to gold belts, repairing bridges and roads without corpses.He is a member of the evil way, why does his entire sect only have a little more than three taels of silver, while this righteous young man in front of him has hundreds of taels of silver in his hand? !

He felt that his belief seemed... a little shaken.

……

Lu Zhaoming was also surprised.

He knew that Zhang Xiaoyuan's family was doing business and had some spare money. He thought that he was like his uncle, who would occasionally give out a few taels of silver to supplement his family. He thought that 57 taels was too much, and they didn't need to spend the money Taking it to help Cao Zilian, a stranger who is still an evil person, he really didn't expect Zhang Xiaoyuan to have so much silver on him... It's already a few hundred taels, right?

Lu Zhaoming thought about it carefully, and felt that he had never seen so many bank notes in one go in his entire life.

And Zhang Xiaoyuan has already got up and walked to the shopkeeper. He borrowed Cao Zilian 57 taels of silver, and he will pay the money on his behalf. As long as he lowers the price of the shopkeeper, the more he will earn. .

Zhang Xiaoyuan has experience in such things as lowering prices.

He had seen the actual prices of the damaged items on the shopkeeper's head just now, so he told the shopkeeper first, he didn't believe that the shopkeeper of this restaurant could still insist on it.

Zhang Xiaoyuan pulled the shopkeeper aside, whispered, "Shopkeeper, I have something to say, I think you don't want others to hear it."

The shopkeeper didn't seem to want to talk nonsense with him, frowned at him, and said bluntly: "If you want to pay him back..."

"I'm afraid the things he broke aren't that expensive." Zhang Xiaoyuan interrupted the shopkeeper, "Bowls and plates are at most a dozen yuan each, and the wine is mixed with some water, and the pigeons are still leftover meat from yesterday."

The shopkeeper couldn't help looking at him vigilantly, carefully probing: "What do you want to say?"

"If you want compensation, these things are at most four or five taels." Zhang Xiaoyuan said, "President Pei doesn't like people in the Jianghu fighting in Baicang City, but do you think he would like you to threaten and blackmail people in the Jianghu?"

Shopkeeper: "I..."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "Even if President Pei doesn't know about it, what will happen if someone spreads it out?"

Shopkeeper: "..."

"Looking at your methods, this shouldn't be the first time, right?" Zhang Xiaoyuan smiled at him. The young man's smile was clear and clear, as if he was just a kind reminder without any malice. If they know the truth, I think President Pei may not be able to stop them."

He seemed to understand what the shopkeeper said, and his expression became more and more nervous. He knew that the end of the matter had been decided, and what the shopkeeper's final price would depend on the shopkeeper's guts. He blinked innocently, and kindly reminded him, whispering: "I I heard that there is a "Secrets of the Jianghu" circulating in the Jianghu, and I like to record these trivial things, and there are many people who read it in the Jianghu..."

The shopkeeper grabbed his arm.

"Little brother, there is no need to say any more, the old man understands." He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled a little forcedly, "I was confused for a while, so I will go and apologize to that young hero."

What an apology!

Sorry, he's about to reveal himself!

Zhang Xiaoyuan hurriedly stopped the shopkeeper and said, "Even if it only costs five taels of silver, he can't afford it!"

The shopkeeper's face was full of shame: "It doesn't cost five taels of silver, and some of the dishes are not completely broken. Go to the street to find a bowl repairer to repair them, and they can still be used."

Zhang Xiaoyuan was startled: "Huh?"

"This old man is obsessed with money. Otherwise, little brother, you can go and apologize to that young hero for me. I'm getting old, and I still can't bear this face." The shopkeeper sighed deeply, "Everyone just treat him as a friend." Friends, don't talk about money among friends, it's better to avoid such a small amount of money."

Zhang Xiaoyuan: "..."

132.

Zhang Xiaoyuan felt that he was really amazing.

The 57 taels of silver returned to his wallet. Not only that, but there was also an IOU for 57 taels of silver written by Cao Zilian in his wallet.

This is simply a white wolf with empty hands.

Shameful!

But Zhang Xiaoyuan never felt a little uneasy conscience, he thought about it, 57 taels of silver!If you buy rice alone, it will be enough for the teacher to eat for a year or two.

If you don't make money, you are a fool!

When he returned to the table, he saw Cao Zilian, who was heavily in debt, raised his head miserably, and gave him a pitiful wry smile.

Zhang Xiaoyuan coughed lightly, and said to Cao Zilian: "I have already negotiated with them."

Cao Zilian was dejected, and Ashaner couldn't help but whispered, "57 taels of silver, when do we have to earn it?"

Zhang Xiaoyuan thumped in his heart, and suddenly had a brand new idea.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked, "How much silver taels do you have left?"

Cao Zilian actually answered truthfully without any scheming: "It's more than three taels. The things in Baicang City are very expensive. I've only been here for a few days, and I've already spent a lot of money."

It was about Zhang Xiaoyuan's "unreserved" help that made Cao Zilian let go of his guard. When he said these words to Zhang Xiaoyuan, he still had a tone of complaining to his friends, and he sighed and said to him: "I wanted to do something. A great cause, if you don’t think it’s come to this day, it’s almost at the end of the mountain.”

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked him: "What big business are you doing?"

Cao Zilian replied: "Naturally, it is to revitalize a sect that has nothing and nothing to do, so that this sect will become famous all over the world and become the greatest sect in the world!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan was even more excited.

Isn't this the same as his desire to revitalize the division!

He took a sip of tea excitedly, and asked Cao Zilian, "What kind of sect do you want to revive?"

Cao Zilian rubbed his chin: "This... I didn't think about it. To tell you the truth, I don't pay attention to the low-level rape and robbery done by those wicked people in the evil way. Everyone among them can be frank, unrestrained and unrestrained, and enjoy the rivers and lakes!"

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked: "Isn't that no different from the righteous way?"

"I don't think the distinction between good and evil is very clear." Cao Zilian seemed to have regarded Zhang Xiaoyuan as a friend who was willing to give charcoal to him when he was in trouble, and he said everything in his heart, "There are hypocrites in the righteous way, and there are no bullies in the evil way. There are not a few women and children who are weak."

good very good.

Nor is he obsessed with staying in the evil way.

Zhang Xiaoyuan asked again: "Then... what if you are not the master of the sect?"

"What does it matter?" Cao Zilian said, "In the same sect, if one loses, the other loses, and if one prospers, both prosper. This sect is famous all over the world. As long as I am still in this sect, I will be honored with you."

Well, this is even better!

He doesn't even want to be the head of the sect, but simply wants to see a poor sect revitalize in the Jianghu, and Cao Zilian himself does not have the level of strength to lead the sect, so how can there be any sect in the Jianghu that is better than Zhang Xiaoyuan and his sect? It is more in line with this condition!

Zhang Xiaoyuan became more and more excited, he drank another sip of tea, and suppressed his emotions, he only hoped that this matter would be successful in one fell swoop, and it was best not to waste the opportunity to do business that he just wrote on the IOU.

Zhang Xiaoyuan said: "I have a good idea, I wonder if Big Brother Cao wants to hear it?"

He changed his tune.

In the past, he thought that Cao Zilian was a fool and crazy, but now he deliberately called him big brother. The relationship between the two sounds closer, and Cao Zilian would naturally be more willing to listen to him.

What's more... If Cao Zilian really entered their teacher's school, then from now on, he would call him senior brother every day.

At this time, calling Cao Zilian a few words, big brother, will not suffer at all.

Lu Zhaoming was already in a daze.

He doesn't understand what's going on.

More than a quarter of an hour ago, Zhang Xiaoyuan allowed himself to catch this strange evil person, why now... has he called his elder brother?

Lu Zhaoming frowned, slightly unhappy.

……

When Cao Zilian heard Zhang Xiaoyuan calling him big brother, he suddenly felt that this person in front of him was not only willing to lend him so much money in a timely manner, but also willing to call him brother and brother, even though there is still a distinction between good and evil between the two, he couldn't help but smile, He felt that although his waist was injured and his legs were blue, he had a good brother. He had only entered the rivers and lakes for two months, and this trip to the rivers and lakes was really worth it!

Cao Zilian couldn't help but nodded, and said, "Little brother, it's okay to say it!"

"It's too difficult to set up your own school. If Brother Cao just wants to revitalize a sect, I have a good idea." Zhang Xiaoyuan took a deep breath and said, "Brother Cao, how are you? Are you getting started? The treatment of our sect is very good! "

Cao Zilian: "Huh?"

Lu Zhaoming: "..."
