Volume 1 Wisdom in the Capital IX
The young master must fulfill my filial piety!”
Xu Wubing saw that the white fox was caught by a hunter and was about to be on the throne, which aroused the wounds of his life. So he took out his ancestral jade flute and exchanged for the life of the white fox. At this moment, he heard that Mo Qiuyu was going to release the animals, and the place where the animals were released was on the fairy island on the sea, the cave heaven and the blessed land should be more suitable for fox survival. Seeing that Mr. Mo was sincere, he was not convenient to refuse at the moment, and agreed with gale:
"Since Mr. Mo also wants to release the animals, it's naturally great. I will never dare to collect the money."
Mo Qiuyu was overjoyed and was about to reach out to take the white fox, but suddenly he was stopped by Zhu Wuneng. Zhu Wuneng said, "No! Brother, the fox can't be given to him!"
Mo Qiuyu was angry and wanted to take it away, but she was afraid of Zhu Wuneng's divine power. She said to herself: "You don't want to give it to me, it's just because you think the money I gave is too little. What's the point of releasing it? It's just for a price!" So she squeezed out a few smiles again, took out a silver note from her chest and put it on the table, and said: "Hehe! Brother Zhu is understandable that he is so reluctant to leave. Let's do this, I'll buy you fox with two hundred taels of silver, how about it?"
Mo Qiuyu was proud here, thinking that the country boys had never seen any big scenes, and this silver bill of 200 taels would inevitably tempt them to submit. But the old man with long beard suddenly threw away the chopsticks in his hand and laughed:
"What a lustful and lustful 'iron-faced man'! You know that this white fox is a rare species of "Snow Li Qiao" in the land of Shenzhou. None of this fox can grow this mature fur in a hundred years. The fur is snow-white all over the body, and there is no color. What's more strange is that the fox fur made of this fur is light and as if nothing is worn on the body. It is in the severe cold of winter but I don't know. If this white fox sells it to the capital, it can get at least 20,000 taels of silver. If it is given to the royal relatives and nobles, it may be even more beneficial. Now you are using the name of filial piety to deceive two ignorant young men. It's ridiculous and ridiculous!"
When Mo Qiuyu heard this, his face turned pale. He stood up angrily and said angrily: "Nonsense! This is clearly an ordinary fur beast! I kindly took out 200 taels of silver to buy it for release, but I was slandered like this for you. If you slander me again, don't blame Mo for being rude to you!"
The old man with long beard smiled and said, "Haha, if you sincerely release the animals, we will accept these 200 taels of silver. I will accompany you to Congyun Island to release the fox. How about it?"
At this time, several drinkers were pointing fingers and talking. Mo Qiuyu's face turned red and she thought to herself that Congyun Island was hundreds of miles apart. If the white fox was really released, I would ask me to find it again! At that moment, I had to stomp my feet and said hatefully: "It's unreasonable to mess around! Mo has important things, so I won't accompany you!" He picked up the silver notes on the table, turned around and left.
The old man with long beard didn't care and continued to pick up his chopsticks to eat and drink, but there was really little left in the dishes on the table.
Xu Wubing bowed and said, "Old man, how do you know that this white fox is the 'Snow Beautiful'?"
The old man with long beard turned his eyes and said, "I am a 'shu immortal'. I have been reading poetry and books since I was a child. I know everything in the sky and under the earth. This is a mere 'snow-skinned' and you will know it at a glance."
Xu Wubing: "'Shuxian'? Is the book immortal of the immortal in the book?"
The old man with a long beard caressed his beard and said, "That's true! There is a beauty in the book and a golden house in the book. Today, my book immortals are here. The two young people treat me with sincerity and courtesy, and give me delicious food. Children can teach them, and children can teach them!"
Xu Wubing got up and bowed, "My younger generation Xu Wubing, this
My brother Zhu Wuneng has met the Book Fairy!"
Shuxian smiled and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! But there seems to be a little less wine and meat, store owner, store owner!..."
The previous waiter rushed over: "What instructions do the customer have?"
Shuxian: "The wine and food you served before were too shabby. I heard that the famous 'Wucheng wine' here is fragrant and is truly a good wine. I will give us three jars, and another twenty kilograms of beef. If you have any other good dishes, come on!"
When the waiter saw that Mo Qiuyu was missing during the meal, his face was not as good as before: "Several guests should pay the money for the wine here first. Not much, a total of three or two cents of silver."
Shuxian turned his head to look at Xu Wubing. Wubing felt embarrassed and embarrassed to say that he had no money, so he had to reach out to his waist bag to grop, but he still had half a piece of silver on his body. After touching him, he didn't even find a penny of copper coins, but instead an iron plate fell from his waist.
The immortal bent down and picked up the iron plate. He was overjoyed when he saw the three words "Qingyiwei" on it. He thought that he still had no money to eat and drink with this sign. He then looked dark and put the black iron plate on the table with a 'bang', grabbed the waiter's arm, and said angrily: "Bold and unruly! Tell me the truth: We are the officials of the imperial court, and this is Xu Baihu, Qingyiwei. I heard that you are the hiding criminals of the "Juyinglou" and have a bad intention. Hurry up and call your shopkeepers to come over and follow us to the county government office to explain clearly!"
The waiter was frightened by the book fairy. When he saw the black iron plate with three big words "Qingyiwei" engraved, he didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly ran to report to the shopkeeper to know. Who in the Qian Kingdom knows the name of "Qingyiwei"? Everyone knows that "Qingyiwei" has great power. Not to mention a wise man, it is those high-ranking officials and nobles. People from "Qingyiwei" who want to arrest him, and those who want to examine him, without any documentary orders. Once he is arrested and sent to the Bei'anping Office of the Qingyiwei, eight out of ten will go but not return. It is said that if there is a child crying in the alleys of the village, the adults need to say one sentence: "The Qingyiwei's people are here", and the children will immediately stop crying.
After a moment, the shopkeeper and the waiter arrived in panic. The shopkeeper trembled and took out a pack of silver and said in a trembling voice: "All sirs, it's all the blame for the little ones who have no eyes! They have no eyes! I don't know that the adults have come and have never received a good hospitality. The fifty taels of silver are a little bit of the wishes of the shop... The shop has always been law-abiding, and there is no court offense. Maybe... maybe it's a mistake..."
Shuxian nodded, took the silver and weighed it in his hand, and smiled and said, "Well! I wish you, Juyinglou, don't have the courage to do this today! Please remember the power of today. If you find any illegal activities next time, you will definitely not forgive me!"
The shopkeeper bowed repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Adults are waiting for me, and I asked the waiter to present the 20-year-old 'Wucheng Wine' collected by our store, as well as all kinds of famous dishes from our store, so please enjoy them..."
Shuxian interrupted: "No need, I'm waiting for official duties, so it's not convenient to stay for a long time. After we leave, you can't tell anyone about this!"
The shopkeeper: "Yes, yes, yes! The whereabouts of adults, the shop must be kept as tight as a bottle!"
Zhu Wuneng was obviously not full and was still waiting to speak, but was stopped by Shuxian. Shuxian whispered to Xu Wubing: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, leave quickly!"
Xu Wubing picked up the white fox with his left hand and pulled Zhu Wuneng with his right hand. He followed the dwarf old man who called himself "Book Fairy" and hurriedly wanted to go out. Suddenly, someone shouted behind him:
"Who am I supposed to be? It turns out that he is a 'half-learning book immortal'. Why haven't I seen him for a few years? I have become an official in the court?"
