A Tian was even more afraid that after talking about the money for the gift, Li Huaiyun would not be able to come up with it, which would be quite embarrassing and would affect the relationship between them.
He thought about it again and again, so he kept it to a minimum, and was prepared in his mind that Li Huaiyun couldn't come up with it. When the time came, he would say that he would find a way, so that Li Huaiyun wouldn't worry too much.
"It's about a thousand taels!"
"What?" Li Huaiyun crossed his arms in front of him, twitching the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in surprise, "I actually want so much!"
A Tian saw his embarrassment, "Given her family background, the amount of money required for the bride price is already small. We discussed it several times! We also thought about it for a long time and thought it was reasonable."
Li Huaiyun frowned suddenly, feeling that A Tian was simply comforting himself.
With your family background, do you still have room for negotiation with others? I'm afraid not. When someone makes a request, you agree without even thinking about it. Have you considered it for a long time? I'm afraid I'm not thinking with my lower body!
As a good brother, he couldn't reveal this to his face, so he only asked, "Can you afford such a high gift?"
A Tian shook his head helplessly, "I definitely couldn't afford it, so I found a bank. Moreover, this bank was opened by a relative of Fang Yuan's family, and the interest offered was relatively small."
After hearing this, Li Huaiyun suddenly understood. This was obviously a marriage fraud case. The woman deliberately lured people to marry her, and took the opportunity to trick people into going to the bank to pay off debts and borrow money. There must be some tricks in this.
This marriage is dangerous for A Tian!
A Tian lowered his head silently and said humbly, "Brother, I wonder how much silver you can lend me?"
Li Huaiyun muttered in his heart, to be honest, I really don't want to borrow a penny. You look like a licking dog, and I'm afraid I won't be able to afford the paper and pen to write divorce letters in the future.
He was determined to help, and took precautions when giving money. "I'll probably help you with seven or eight hundred taels!"
"Ah! So many?" A Tian was very surprised. He never thought that Li Huaiyun could actually come up with so much silver now.
In this way, I don't have to borrow money from the bank.
He didn't quite believe it. After all, he lent money to Li Huaiyun a few days ago. "Really? Brother? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Of course it's true. Why should I lie to you? I've solved several cases these days and I've received quite a lot of rewards. Plus this time, it's pretty impressive!"
A Tian looked envious. If he took out seven or eight hundred taels casually, there must be some leftover at home. He suddenly felt regretful, and his tone of voice also had a sour taste.
"It can't be so many! We haven't had such a high reward before."
Li Huaiyun sighed heavily, "Don't look at how much these silver coins are. They were all exchanged for life. If you don't pay attention, these money will be used to find a cemetery for yourself!"
He hurriedly explained because he didn't want A Tian to feel regretful, "In recent years, the monsters faced by the Demon Slayer Division have become more and more powerful and rampant, and they are difficult to deal with!"
"Yeah!" A Tian also sighed softly. After knowing the difficulty of the other party, he felt a little calmer.
Since he had loaned out so much money, Li Huaiyun was ready to explain these things clearly. Whether the other party would listen or not was all his own problem. He was also responsible for the money he lent.
"You really don't want to marry this woman?"
A Tian said in an affirmative tone, "That's natural. You have to be consistent in being a human being. There's nothing to say about it!"
"Have you ever thought that this is relative in the end, and only one person is not enough."
When A Tian heard this, he became emotional and asked directly, "Brother, what do you mean by this!"
"I just want to say that this woman is not as good as you think! You should think about it more carefully. There are many women who are suitable for you. Why do you have to find someone who doesn't belong to the right family?"
"Huaiyun, we have worked together for so many years and we are like brothers. But brother, your words make me very angry. You are planning to lend me some money, but you cannot use this to slander Fang Yuan."
A Tian spoke with anger and a righteous look.
However, in Li Huaiyun's view, it was just incompetent rage! Do you really need to borrow money if you really want to be able?
I can't listen to this anymore! I haven’t said the important point yet!
"Then do you want to continue to listen to what I have to say? Or do you want to collect the gift money yourself?
A Tian was silent for a moment, then turned his head and said helplessly, "Brother, please finish your words, but I won't change my mind!"
"You don't have to change. You just hope that your family will understand and help you, but they are all women and children who have to make a living from you. You can't let your sister get married in exchange for dowry money!"
"Brother, don't go too far!"
"If you know this is too much, why can't you listen to what I have to say?"
"You two are actually not suitable for each other, especially you, brother. Your two classes are already very different. Why are you so persistent in marrying this woman?"
"You still think too little and don't realize it at all. That woman is playing tricks on you. I am worried about your future. If you don't have my help, you will have to borrow money from the bank and you will be burdened. Debt, a lot of things you can do, will dissipate with it, just think about repaying the loan every day."
Li Huaiyun raised his hand and pointed at Atian, "Brother, today's words will be left here. If you can listen, just listen. It's up to you. You can do it on your own,"
A Tian, who was aside, could only nod silently and said softly that he would consider his words carefully.
Li Huaiyun also knew that it was impossible to persuade A Tian with just a few casual words. Unless he was allowed to know more about this woman,
He opened his hands with a smile on his face, "Then I will be here to offer my best wishes for the future to you two!"
When A Tian heard this, he felt less hatred in his heart, "Thank you for your blessing, brother! It will take some time before we get married."
Li Huaiyun raised his head and glanced at the night, "It's already very late now. I have some things to do and I have to go to the Demon Slayer Division, so I won't bother you."
"Why are you disturbing me! Brother, you are too polite!" A Tian was so respectful. Although they were still brothers now, there had been a gap between them for a long time. He could only do this because the other party wanted to pay.
“Let’s get together next time when we have time!”
"Um!"
Li Huaiyun added another reminder, "Since the marriage is not in a hurry, you must pay attention to your family and think more. You must not let that woman say anything. Otherwise, if everyone knows what your background is, you will only become more passive."
A Tian nodded and thanked him. He obviously couldn't listen to these problems, but after Li Huaiyun mentioned them, he had no choice but to say that he must pay more attention to them.
After the two separated, Li Huaiyun ran all the way to the Demon Slaying Division. He was thinking about when to find time to meet the woman. The last time she approached her intentionally, she must have targeted him, or to keep him away from A Tian. , to prevent ruining his plan.
He needed to find a suitable time. A Tian stayed in Qianji Pavilion and had no time to come out, so that he would not be plotted.
Why doesn't this guy want to think about his elderly mother and young sister?
When Li Huaiyun came to the Demon Slaying Division, he happened to meet Brother Kun, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face. After all, Li Huaiyun single-handedly protected the safety of the palace and was greatly praised by Sikyong.
Brother Kun couldn't hide the smile on his face, and before he could speak, Li Huaiyun dodged and ran away.
"Ah Yun, it's so late. Please walk slowly. Why are you in such a hurry? Back then...!"
Qin Gang was just about to take a rest when he heard a knock on the door!
"who?"
"I, Sikyong!"
"Good Luck!" Qin Gang was a little wary. How could the guy recover so quickly after being so seriously injured? It was probably a trap.
He responded calmly, "I came here so late, could something big happen?"
"That's not true. I just wanted to understand some of the situation."
"Why don't you take a good rest?"
"I have something on my mind, so I can't sleep well!"
"Then come in!"
Li Huaiyun opened the door, walked into the house, and then closed the door gently.
Qin Gang stood up and sat down and came to the front hall. When he saw Li Huaiyun, his energy and expression were unparalleled.
This is the real deal!
"You were originally seriously injured, why did you recover so quickly this time? This is not normal!"
"Well, I have to thank my aunt for this. It was her superb medical skills and the use of precious medicinal materials that brought me back from the hell.
"This woman's medical skills are beyond ordinary!"
"Yes, and I also want to thank the Qingsang Neijing in the arsenal! It contains records about people with serious illnesses like me."
Qin Gang gently stroked his gray beard. He had heard from officials in the arsenal that Li Huaiyun copied the Qingsang Neijing and took it back. It seems that this action saved his life, God's will!
"I see your complexion has recovered very well!"
"Um!"
"Why did you choose to come here at such a late hour?"
"It's really bothering me, I can't sleep well!"
Qin Gang deeply felt that Li Huaiyun had rare qualities.
This young man has little sense of responsibility. It's already this time and he's still here to learn about the follow-up of the case.
Li Huaiyun said, "I want to know how this case will develop in the future!"
"Also, was that reminder correct before I fell to the ground?"
Qin Gang nodded affirmatively, "Your reminder is right! But when we went back, the monster had invaded the lowest level of the Demon Lock Prison, and the seal was opened directly. In the end, it was still a step too late."
"That's true!" Li Huaiyun immediately had an uneasy look on his face.
"Don't worry, that thing has been taken away from Kyoto. For the time being, there is no big danger. The Demon Slayer Division has reorganized and increased its tracking and defense efforts!"
Li Huaiyun said, "The man in black robe started the layout more than ten years ago and collected saltpeter, sulfur and charcoal in the palace. We all thought that this guy wanted to use the sewer under the palace to destroy the support of the sewer with homemade explosives. The main stake, but I never thought that this behavior was just a pretense."
"Yes!" Qin Gang sat there and couldn't help but sigh softly. He, the Sikyong, was also to blame for not being able to find out in time. The most important thing was that he was led by the nose the whole time. If there was more A big move will have serious consequences.
Li Huaiyun was pacing back and forth in the room, thinking for a moment, and then suddenly raised his head, "No! I still feel something is wrong!"
"What's wrong!"
"This man in black robe's attempt to blow up the sewers was definitely not a pretense. It can only be said that at that time, we did not consider that something would happen to the Demon Slayer Division!"
"Now that the sewers have not been destroyed, their plans have been temporarily shelved. Sikyong, you must not be careless. You must also strengthen the defense of Qihua Palace."
"That's natural,"
Li Huaiyun said, "They want to blow up the sewers and then get the things sealed in the rock wall! Sikyong, I wonder when we can find someone to take out the things sealed inside first."
"Take it out, I'm afraid it's inappropriate,"
"Then let us know what's in here!"
"Okay! We can think of a way." Qin Gang picked up the tea cup and took a sip. "By the way, have you found anything about the man in black robe?"
"That guy must have been an official of the Ministry of Punishment. He seemed to have discovered something he shouldn't have known, so he was exterminated."
"What is something you shouldn't know?"
