In Luofu, brothers Wu Yuanqing met Mei Niang in the front hall. Under Wu Yuanqing's deception, Mei Niang finally believed his words.
It is said that with Mei Niang's intelligence, it is impossible to be deceived, but caring about her makes her confused, and naturally she loses her alertness to distinguish.
When he heard that Wu Yuanqing really had a solution, Mei Niang would naturally ask where she could sit still!
"Mei Niang, Master Changsun didn't do this just for me. If you want to ask for help, you need this..." Wu Yuanqing said and rubbed his fingers. The meaning is very clear. Asking for help requires money. If you don't have money, you need money. Who will help you?
Mei Niang naturally understood what Wu Yuanqing meant. Normally she would be able to tell that Wu Yuanqing was lying, but now there is no news about Luo Zhang. Even if she knew that Wu Yuanqing was lying to her, she would not let it go for the slightest possibility!
"Brother, how much help do you need from Lord Changsun?" Mei Niang asked hurriedly.
Wu Yuanqing glanced at Wu Yuanshuang and said: "Not much, not much, just five thousand gold is enough, but if you have any rare treasures, that's fine too!"
After saying that, Wu Yuanqing stared at Mei Niang, as if Mei Niang was a treasure, which made him excited and greedy!
Wu Yuanshuang is not much worse than Wu Yuanqing. Five thousand gold is equivalent to five hundred thousand taels of silver. Although their Wu family is a big family, they don't have that much money. Even if they are cheated by Luo Zhang, they will only get tens of thousands of taels of silver. Well, when the lion asked for five thousand gold, he naturally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money. With these five hundred thousand gold, his Wu family can reorganize and develop, and the future is promising!
Mei Niang could not have thought of Wu Yuanqing's dirty thoughts at this time. She frowned and thought for a while, gritted her teeth and said, "I will pay five thousand gold, as long as Lord Changsun can rescue Luo Zhang!"
Hearing Mei Niang agreeing so readily, Wu Yuanqing almost gave himself a slap in the face.
Why, you ask?
There are fewer people riding horses! Five thousand gold agreed without blinking an eye. It was obvious that Luo Zhang's wealth was unimaginable to him. He must have more than ten thousand gold!
When Wu Yuanshuang heard Mei Niang's words, his mouth watered. She agreed, she really agreed, five thousand gold, five thousand gold! This is too easy!
"Ahem, Mei Niang, five thousand gold is for Lord Changsun. Look, your eldest brother has to be busy, don't you think you should reward him? After all, I am the only one who can help you get Luo Zhang out. , are you right?" Wu Yuanqing rolled his eyes and thought.
Wu Yuanshuang almost paid homage to Wu Yuanqing after hearing this. It was the first time that he felt that this elder brother was better than him. He couldn't think of this idea. Five thousand gold was not enough, so he wanted to get more. This idea was simply incredible!
Who would mind having too much money? Although he can only share part of the five thousand gold, but if the money is more, won't he share even more?
For this reason, Wu Yuanshuang also interjected: "Meiniang, your brother is really working hard for this matter. You can't let him work in vain!"
Although Mei Niang felt that this was wrong, she only wanted to get Luo Zhang out, and she didn't care even if she lost everything.
Thinking of this, Mei Niang gritted her teeth and said: "Thank you for your help this time, brother. I still have some private money. It's not much, only five hundred gold. It's a reward for brother!"
Five hundred gold? so little? What about sending beggars away?
Compared with five thousand gold, Wu Yuanqing thought that five hundred gold was indeed too little!
How could his hard work be so little? At the very least, he needs at least three thousand gold to be worthy of his status.
Seeing that Wu Yuanqing didn't speak, Mei Niang asked doubtfully: "Brother? What are you doing?"
"Sister, the Wu family is no longer what it used to be. The buildings are all dilapidated and there is no money to repair them. I, the head of the family, deserve to be ashamed!" Wu Yuanqing pretended to wipe away his tears.
"Brother, this..." Wu Meiniang really couldn't figure out how this matter about Luo Zhang could be related to the Wu family.
"Well, sister, can you give me a little more for your hard work? Five hundred is really not enough. What do you think of three thousand? I can repair the Wu family now. It is your mother's family after all. You don't want to see the Wu family so... Destroy it!" Wu Yuanqing coughed dryly.
In fact, Wu Yuanqing wanted to ask for another five thousand gold, but he also knew that saying too much would arouse Wu Meiniang's suspicion, so he downgraded it to three thousand.
Three thousand is also three hundred thousand taels, plus the previous five hundred thousand taels, it is enough for him to live a happy life without worrying about food and clothing!
Wu Yuanshuang didn't know what to say now. Compared to his elder brother's shamelessness, he felt ashamed and was willing to be inferior!
Five hundred is not enough, but three thousand is required. The eldest brother is the eldest brother, and the pattern is different. I admire it, I really admire it!
As soon as Wu Yuanqing's words came out, Mei Niang's breath was suffocated. If she could no longer clearly see Wu Yuanqing's thoughts at this time, then she would be worthy of being the first empress.
But even though she knew Wu Yuanqing was blackmailing her, she didn't care about it for Luo Zhang. As long as Luo Zhang could be safe, money didn't matter.
Thinking of this, Mei Niang touched her belly. There was a life gestating there. How could she let this little life be born without a father.
She is in charge of the Luo family's money. She naturally knows how much money the family has. Eight thousand gold is indeed a lot, but Luo Zhang can't afford it with his accumulated wealth! .
"Okay, three thousand is three thousand. As long as the elder brother can help Luo Zhang get out of trouble, the younger sister will give it to him!" Mei Niang replied with firm eyes.
Mei Niang's words made Wu Yuanqing so happy that he swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, and his mood was so exciting.
Wu Yuanshuang on the side was even more excited and trembling, his eyes were blood red, eight thousand gold, eight thousand gold, it’s gone, it’s gone!
"Ahem, sister, when will you give us the money? We can get Luo Zhang out as soon as possible!" Wu Yuanqing asked hurriedly after calming down.
After all, the money doesn’t belong to them even if it doesn’t fall into their pockets. They were promised eight thousand gold. If they regret it, their work will not be in vain, so they will naturally need to urge them!
"Um...brother, I can only give you five thousand gold for the time being. I don't really have that much at home. When my husband comes out, he will be able to get the money. Then I will ask my husband to give you another three thousand gold. What do you think?" Mei There was a trace of sarcasm in the mother's eyes. She naturally had to be on guard against this kind of thing. If Wu Yuanqing took the money and failed to do something, she would not lose so much. At least three thousand gold was in hand. If they wanted it, they would definitely go If you work hard and wait for your husband to come back, it won't matter if you give them three thousand gold!
"Huh? This... Mei Niang, this is not good, I think it is better to give it together, so that I can do things more easily, you are right!" Wu Yuanqing was a little stunned by Mei Niang, he was joking, he only gave five thousand, If he doesn't give him three thousand, doesn't that mean that he has been busy for a long time in vain?
It is impossible for Luo Zhang to come out. He will never come out in this life. He took five thousand gold and naturally he would not rescue Luo Zhang. But if he found that Luo Zhang could not be rescued, wouldn't the three thousand gold be wasted? How could this be! That’s three thousand gold!
"Brother, if you believe me, after rescuing Luo Zhang, I will definitely let Luo Zhang give it to you. We really don't have that many at home!" Mei Niang snorted coldly in her heart. She is not stupid. If Wu Yuanqing has always insisted on asking for that Three thousand gold, this shows that they have no intention of rescuing Luo Zhang, they only want money, so naturally she will not give them another penny!
Wu Yuanqing was confused. If he insisted on giving the three thousand gold, his fault would definitely be exposed. Then he would probably lose the five thousand gold.
He and Wu Yuanshuang looked at each other and exchanged opinions. The latter was also worried about this and blinked at Wu Yuanqing. That meant taking five thousand gold and leaving first!
Wu Yuanqing also thinks that he should take five thousand gold first. As for the three thousand gold, when the time comes, he will make up a lie and say that the money is not enough. Is he still afraid that Mei Niang won't give it? You gave me five thousand, do you still care about three thousand gold?
Thinking of this, Wu Yuanqing put on a righteous look and said: "Since Mei Niang, you have said so, it would be a bit unkind for me to shirk it anymore. Okay, you give me five thousand gold, and I will go to Changsun Wu right now." Ji, when Luo Zhang comes out, just ask him to give me three thousand gold!"
Wu Yuanqing's words made Mei Niang relax. She was really afraid that Wu Yuanqing would continue to ask for the three thousand from her, that Wu Yuanqing would lie to her and dash her hard-earned hope!
"Then Mei Niang, hurry up and give me five thousand gold. I will go find Lord Changsun now!" Wu Yuanqing said impatiently.
"Then please, brother!" Mei Niang saluted and stood up to get the money.
But as soon as she reached the door, a towering figure blocked her way.
"Brother, why are you back?" Mei Niang looked at the towering figure and was stunned, because she knew that her eldest brother had been tracking down the murderer who framed Luo Zhang, but she didn't expect to come back today!
