Chapter 108 Debt Collection

Hu Ji told Liu Jian something.

The Langguan of Weiyang Lang Office said that Liang Xiao would leave Chang'an soon, and the envoy of the emperor went to Kuaiji. When he went to Kuaiji, he would definitely pass by Huainan. If he robbed them in Huainan territory, it would not only have nothing to do with Liu Jian, but also framed the King of Huainan, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.

By the way, even Liu Ling can be killed together.

As soon as Liang Xiao died, two wives, Mama Liang and Li Rongqing, could not escape Liu Jian's hands. Liu Jian has the final say on what to do at that time? If Liu Jian is willing, Mama Liang can let Mama woven a double-sided brocade for him for a lifetime, without even paying a half tael.

Liu Jian turned anger into joy and asked Hu Ji to make arrangements immediately, and it was necessary to put Liang Xiao to death. New and old hatreds should be resolved together.

Hu Ji did not dare to neglect and immediately made arrangements. Liu Jian became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he couldn't wait. However, the envoy had to wait until the empress dowager's birthday before setting off, so Liu Jian could only wait. At this moment, Dongfang Shuo came to the Gaihou Mansion in his super-large carriage, and asked for his name to see Hu Ji.

When Hu Ji heard that Dongfang Shuo was coming, he was immediately panicked. Although they borrowed the name of the Marquis of Gai, they actually did not notify the Marquis of Gai. No matter how stupid Liu Jian was, he knew that this matter could not be known to the Marquis of Gai. Once Marquis of Gai knew that he had taken his father's concubine, would he dare to marry his sister?

Hu Ji did not dare to disturb Gai Hou's family, and hurriedly brought Dongfang Shuo into the side.

"Why are you here?" Hu Ji was very unhappy. For this matter, he was almost hacked to death by Liu Jian. At this moment, he felt uncomfortable when he saw someone related to Liang Xiao, especially Dongfang Shuo. In his opinion, there was no one else who helped Liang Xiao dig this big pit. Seeing Dongfang Shuo, he wanted to bite him to death.

"What are you talking about?" Dongfang Shuo smiled and looked like a businessman who was making money. "If you give me a chance to make money, I must serve attentively. The deadline has come, and the Double-Sided Brocade is ready. I have been waiting for you to come and get it. There is no one to see you. I will notify you."

It would be fine if you didn’t mention the double-sided brocade, but when you mentioned the double-sided brocade, Hu Ji was even more angry.

"Dongfangshuo, the double-sided brocade on the market is two golds and one piece. Do you sell me ten golds?"

"It's normal to do business, high prices and low prices." Dongfang Shuo felt at ease. "There are indeed two-sided brocades with two golds and one horse on the market. But that's for promotion. After this time, they will definitely raise prices."

“When will the price be raised?”

"How do I know this?" Dongfang Shuo spread his hands. "You have to ask the Master Huainan."

"Do you still know that it was the owner of Huainan who was selling it. Liang Xiao was close to Huainan. Did he ask the owner of Huainan to produce double-sided brocade?"

"I don't care about this." Dongfang Shuo smiled, smiling proudly. "I'll talk about Hu Jun, let's talk about other things in the future. Let's talk about our business first. Fifteen-pin brocade, I'm ready. Should you give me the remaining payment for the goods and make sure it's fine? Look, I brought all the fifteen-pin brocades, and it's guaranteed to be flawless. You can't find a better double-sided brocade."

Hu Ji was so angry that he vomited blood. Judging from Dongfang Shuo's posture, it would be impossible to get the deposit back. If it was Liang Xiao, he would dare to argue with him, but Dongfang Shuo was a famous scoundrel. He dared to talk nonsense in front of the emperor. If this matter was exposed to the emperor, Liu Jian would be in trouble.

Hu Ji gritted his teeth. "We don't want these fifteen brocades."

"No?" Dongfang Shuo was shocked. "How can you be untrustworthy? At the beginning, we were unwilling to take on this business and would rather pay you twenty gold. You insisted on us to do it. Now we have finally made it, but you don't want it. How do we calculate the costs we invested?"

Hu Ji was so angry that his teeth were itchy. Dongfang Shuo spoke lies with his eyes open. Mama Liang was not at home for this period, so the Liang family had no investment.

"If you don't want it, just don't want it. At worst, I just don't want a deposit."

"That won't work." Dongfang Shuo lowered his face. "You can not want the deposit, but my commission cannot be reduced."

Hu Ji was angry. "Why? I don't want goods and don't want deposits anymore. Why should I give you a commission?"

"Don't be anxious, listen to me." Dongfang Shuo held Hu Ji and settled the account. "I have also made efforts to promote your business. Liang Xiao promised me to give me a commission of 10%. If the business is done, I can get the fifteenth hardware. Now you regret the appointment, I only get half of it, and it's still half the time. If I don't ask you for it, who should I look for? Looking for Liang Xiao, can Liang Xiao give it to me?"

Hu Ji widened his eyes and was going crazy.

"If it's a few hundred coins, I'll forget it. I won't care about it as much as you. Seven and a half pounds of gold is not a small number. My monthly salary is only 240 coins, and seven and a half pounds of gold is equivalent to my salary for more than twenty years. If I don't ask you, who will I ask?"

"Nonsense." Hu Ji was furious. "That was your agreement with Liang Xiao. What does it have to do with us? If you do business, you will succeed or not. Since it doesn't work, there will be no commission. This is a natural thing. How can you fail to work and you will force yourself to ask for commissions?"

"It is normal for business to fail, but you have to make it clear that you have to break the contract without reason. Guard Gai is the brother of the queen mother and a relative of the royal country. How can he speak without trust? If you don't give it, I will complain. You know, I will be on duty at Sima Gate, which is very convenient."

Hu Ji was speechless. He knew that Dongfang Shuo was extortion, but he did not dare to compete with Dongfang Shuo to the end. Liu Jian was shameless, and once he was exposed to the emperor, his good days would be over. If it weren't for this, Liu Jian would not have been determined to kill Liang Xiao.

...

Dongfang Shuo carried the gold he had blackmailed and swaggered out of the Gaihou Mansion. The fifteen double-sided brocade he brought was taken away intact, and Hu Ji didn't even see it.

Back in Wanhu, Dongfang Shuo returned to his home, put down the gold and brocade, and said to Hu Xijun who was coming up with a smile: "Xijun, please keep it carefully, these are all yours. You will go home tomorrow morning and don't have to come again."

Hu Xijun was stunned when she looked at the golden gold and Jin. Dongfang Shuo said at the beginning that there would be gifts when they broke up, but there were too many gifts that she dared not accept.

"It's okay." Dongfang Shuo grinned and laughed. "As long as I hold on to Liang Xiao tightly, I will not be short of money in the future. This little money is a passing cloud for me. Xijun, don't treat yourself badly, buy a good dowry and marry a good family."

Separation was farewell, but Hu Xijun was a little reluctant to leave. "Man Qian, can I stay?"

"No." Dongfang Shuo said without hesitation: "No matter how beautiful things are, they will get bored after getting along for too long. If that's the case, why not end before getting bored. Xijun, what you need is a mountain, but I am a sea..."

"What kind of sea are you? Are you a domineering crab?" Liang Xiao emerged from the other side of the wall. Tu Niuer and Pang Shuo were on the left and right, with four big eyes staring at Dongfang Shuo, and laughed and scolded in unison: "You are a cheating Qi Ting, it's okay to cheat Hu Ji's money, why can we even have our Jin Yemo? This is a double-sided Jin of ten gold and one piece of gold."
