Chapter 705 – Lending of Debt
Chen Zhongxu held the teacup in his hand, and the warm water vapor floated up to his face. This caused his eyes, which were looking at the world, to become somewhat blurred. Perhaps it was because of this that his eyes were somewhat moist.
“So?”
Chen Zhongqi glanced at his brother, “Even though royal father values you so much now, you still can’t forgive him?”
Chen Zhongxu laughed, and said somewhat bitterly: “Forgive? Without a shred of expectation, without a shred of emotion, where did hatred and forgiveness come from? Yes, I don’t even hate him. In my eyes, he is just a Saint King. Other than this identity, there is nothing else for me. ”
Chen Zhongqi felt his heart tremble: “Perhaps, he had some difficulties back then.”
“You and I both know that.”
Chen Zhongxu sat up straight: “It’s only because he took a fancy to an abnormal girl and gave birth to me. But what was wrong with me? Did I come out myself? Thus, since I was young, I have always remembered one thing: a man must have a sense of responsibility. A person who falls for a child, even if it’s the respect of tens of thousands of people, in the end, it won’t be much. ”
Chen Zhongqi said: “You can’t even say that, you should think about it carefully, if he really wants to throw you to death, with father’s cultivation, can he let me snatch you away?”
Chen Zhongxu’s eyes lit up slightly, but he did not say anything in the end.
Chen Zhongqi said: “Even though I don’t like him, I also hate him. However, there were some things that he had to think about. He was not a complete man, but a great man. Because we were too close to him, we could see the disgrace that was invisible. And because of this, Father might be a bit too harsh on us. ”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Chen Zhongxu waved his hand, “I will do what I should do when it comes to matters concerning Da Xi. It’s something between father and son, and I have nothing to do. ”
He looked at Nine Aura, who was packing up in the outer room, “No matter what, you have gained something from this. If she is truly willing to be silent with you, and is truly willing to lose her head with you, I will accept this sister-in-law of hers. ”
He stood up. “But brother, there’s something I must tell you before I leave.”
“Go ahead.”
“You’re wrong.”
Chen Zhongxu said seriously: “No matter what method you use to realize your dream, I will not oppose it. But you cannot join hands with those things of the Summoning the Spiritual World. They can’t control themselves, and once they get what they want from you, they’ll be the first to bite you like mad dogs. ”
Chen Zhongqi laughed, and was a little embarrassed: “I have already given up.”
“You’re really going to give up?”
Chen Zhongxu put on his cape and hat, “I do not wish to affect the relationship between us brothers because of some beasts. I’m not afraid of losing everything to come and see you, but I’m afraid of losing everything to you. ”
He strode out without the slightest hesitation. Walking out of that enormous Duke Palace, Chen Zhongxu disappeared like an ethereal stream of air.
When Chen Zhongqi and Chen Zhongxu met again, An Zheng still did not avoid Yuwen Wuchen. This woman who looked as noble and cold as a snow lotus on the mountain of heaven actually exuded a fiery passion like the princess of the Western Regions. Perhaps it was like this for the people of the Northwest. No matter if it was a man or a woman, they would not conceal themselves when they met people or things they liked.
In the living room, Yuwen Wuchen’s beautiful eyes sized An Zheng up from head to toe, as if he wanted to carefully observe everything about the man in front of him. Whether it was his appearance or his heart. An Zheng was a little nervous at her gaze, and could not help but cough a few times.
Only then did Yuwen Wuchen retracted his gaze. His first sentence, however, was enough for An Zheng to almost spit out the tea that he had just drank.
“Is it forbidden for the disciples of Hollow Jade Temple to marry and have children?”
“This …”
An Zheng replied somewhat embarrassedly: “Theoretically speaking, it is not forbidden. “However, most of the disciples have maintained their cultivation, so they wouldn’t have such thoughts …”
“What about you?”
Yuwen Wuchen asked again.
An Zheng: “Drink some tea … …”
“You haven’t answered.”
Yuwen Wuchen asked again.
Gu Qianye who was dressed in black robes casually walked in and laughed, “Of course it’s embarrassing for him to say that. As the successor of the Hollow Jade Temple’s master, the future master of the Hollow Jade Temple would actually be unaware of his little junior sister’s feelings, and say how embarrassing it is.”
Yuwen Wuchen said, “Junior sister? Which one? ”
Gu Qianye imitated An Zheng and shrugged her shoulders, “It’s me.”
Yuwen Wuchen: “Ah?”
An Zheng gave Gu Qianye a look that said ‘you’re really amazing’, and Gu Qianye replied with a look that said ‘kneel before me’. Before Yuwen Wu Chen could react, Gu Qianye had already pulled her hand: “Elder sister, you came to the capital earlier than us, so why don’t you take me out for a walk? Jinling is so big, I have yet to transfer to many places. ”
Yuwen Wuchen still wanted to say something, but was pulled out by Gu Qianye. Gu Qianye turned back and glanced at An Zheng, two meanings in her eyes … You owe me one more time. The second is, you shitty fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’ fuckin ‘fuckin’. Faintly, there seems to bhird meaning behind it, which is that all the beautiful girls in this world belong to me …
An Zheng felt that he was very injured.
Just as Gu Qianye pulled Yuwen Wuchen away, Niu Zhong, the manager of the official auction house in the Ministry of Revenue, sent someone over to invite An Zheng over. He said that he wanted to invite An Zheng to take a look at some very important things. An Zheng knew that there were a lot of things that had yet to be auctioned in the Ming Fa Si’s Evidence Treasury room. Most of these things were not appraised, and most of them had extraordinary abilities. An Zheng packed up and the servant that followed along walked towards the auction house.
Halfway there, a few people suddenly appeared in front of them. When the waiter saw them, his face changed and he trembled in fear.
“Master Zheng, Master Zheng, please listen to me. This guest is invited by our Auction House. He’s a member of the Hollow Jade Temple.”
The waiter said while nodding his head and bowing.
The one who was called Master Zheng was a man in his forties. He wasn’t very tall, but he was very strong. Behind him were six or seven thugs, all of them the type that didn’t look like good stuff at first glance. That was why An Zheng felt that it was strange. Why did these bad guys all look the same?
“I don’t care what kind of palace or sect this old man is, I just know that the money you owe me has not been returned for more than three months.” I open my doors to do business, and I’ve given you enough care because you’re part of an auction house, right? But you can’t push your luck. “He didn’t do anything he promised and instead took ovehousand taels of silver from me.”
Master Zheng glanced at An Zheng and saw that he was dressed in daoist robes, so he was quite courteous. He cupped his hands and said: “Master, I’ll trouble you to go back first. “He owes me too much silver.”
An Zheng originally did not want to be nosy, but he could not get used to this group of people giving out debts, so he asked one more question: “How much do I owe you? Why should I owe you?”
The waiter quickly said, “Dao Lord, this matter has nothing to do with you. I beg you, hurry up and go to the auction. The head storekeeper has been waiting for a long time.” Dao Lord, believe me, I will take care of this myself. ”
An Zheng acknowledged his as he walked off. He turned around and saw that the people were holding onto the boy as they walked into an alley. Moreover, there were two people who stayed at the entrance of the alleyway to watch, and no one was allowed to look inside.
An Zheng went around a street and disappeared in a flash. In the next second, he appeared on top of a roof in a small alley. He opened the yaksha umbrella and floated down from the roof, standing not far from the group of people.
The man who was called Master Zheng sat on the rock and sneered, “Little Xu, you have taken over ten thousand taels of silver from me. You, as an auction house clerk, aren’t short on money. Why can’t you pay me back?”
Kid, you trembled as you said, “It’s still you! “Step by step, he pulled me into the water. At the beginning, he made me earn a few hundred taels of silver. After that, he continuously pulled me to play. In the end, I constantly lost money!”
“Aiyo, you fucking heartless bastard.”
Master Zheng stood up and kicked the young man in the stomach. Then he slapped the young man to the ground, “I lent you money out of good intentions, and you’re blaming me?” Blame it on your own fucking cheap hands, which part of you is not cheap? When you won the money, you laughed so hard that it was like blooming flowers. Damn you, my silver isn’t from the wind. I told you, you wouldn’t want to steal something from your auction house to pay off your debt. I’ll tell you the truth, if you don’t want to do it again, then your sister won’t have a good ending. Fifteen this year, maybe. Fifteen. “I’ll fuck her first, then sell her to a brothel.”
“You dare!”
The young servant’s eyes were already red. “If you dare to touch my sister, I’ll fight you to the death!”
“Where did you get your life from?”
Master Zheng knelt down and slapped the assistant’s face, making such loud noises.
“This wretched life of yours is mine for a long time. You owe me over ten thousand taels of silver, yet your life isn’t worth so much.”
“I don’t. I remember that I only owe yohousand taels of silver, and I’ve already paid you back a few hundred taels.”
“Are you going to go back on your words?”
Master Zheng took out his dagger and waved it in front of the young man’s eyes. “Let me tell you, it’s not worth asking for ten thousand taels these few months.” If it weren’t for the fact that you still had that little bit of use, I would have crippled you long ago. How about this, I’ll give you another path … There are a lot of people in your auction house too. As long as you promise to bring me one every month, which is enough for five counts, I will let you off the hook. ”
“No …” No, they, they don’t gamble. ”
“Not gambling?”
Master Zheng laughed. “I’ve never seen men who don’t gamble. As long as you bring them to me, I have plenty of ways to keep them from leaving.” Didn’t you say that you wouldn’t gamble in the beginning? Who the fuck didn’t get a kick out of it? Let me tell you, Xu, this is your last chance. You choose, do you want your sister to be safe, or do you want the employees to be safe? ”
Master Zheng stood up and kicked the young man in the face with his big feet. The young man’s face was covered with dirt.
“Within three days, either pay me 10,000 silver, or steal a treasure. You can either get your salesmen into the situation, or you can use your sister as repayment for the debt. I have given you enough choices, just three days. ”
Master Zheng spat at the young man’s face. “I have plenty of skills to deal with people like you.” You can try not to pay your debt, and I’ll let you know what it means to live rather than die. ”
“The house!”
The waiter suddenly thought of something. “I’ll give my house to you, please let us go.”
“House?”
Master Zheng suddenly smiled. “That’s fine. How about this, I don’t want your house either.” “You can use the house to lend you three thousand taels of silver. If you were to turn it over, the house would still be yours, your sister’s would be yours, and the silver would all be yours.”
The expression on the face of the young servant constantly changed. After a long period of silence, he nodded his head heavily, “Alright!”
As An Zheng stood there watching, he felt all the blood vessels in his ears pulsating.
