Sometimes, in fact, people only live for one breath.
For Liu Xiu, that was the tone of not bowing to the aristocratic family.
But now, I'm afraid this tone has to be let go.
There were many people around him trying to persuade him, but today, he finally figured it out.
A behemoth like the Fu family is not something that a humble boy like him can fight against.
However, just when he wanted to give in and completely compromise with the Fu family.
An accident happened again!
Just opposite Hong Xiuxiang, Fu Jiaxin opened a rouge and gouache shop called Rouge House!
The scale of the store is larger than his, and the variety of rouge and gouache is more complete than his!
The most important thing is that Rouge Tower’s treasure is actually their family’s ancestral red sleeve incense!
After Liu Xiu heard about it, he suddenly discovered that the trump card that he was so proud of was not worth mentioning in front of others.
Even the formula of Hongxiu Incense was stolen without knowing it.
The key is, he is still powerless to do anything about this matter, there is nothing he can do at all!
What? You mean reporting to the official?
Don't be kidding, if you meet an official from the Fu family, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?
Ever since, there seemed to be only one dead end waiting for Liu Xiu!
At that time, Liu Xiu looked at the rope hanging on the beam, stepped on the chair, and put his head in!
However, just when he was about to kick his legs and take his own life.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the store.
"Is anyone there? We're here to see the shop!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue, splitting Liu Xiu into pieces.
Just before he was about to die, someone finally came to see the shop?
What does it mean that there is no way out despite mountains and rivers, and there is another village with bright flowers and dark trees?
This is!
Liu Xiu hurriedly took his head out of the noose, jumped off the stool, and rushed forward to see the door.
I saw two figures standing in the cold wind.
The man at the head, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, was wearing a moon-white embroidered robe. With Liu Xiu's eyesight, he could even see the splendid mountains and rivers embroidered with gray and white silk thread on the robe.
This look really echoes the saying: The stranger is as good as jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world.
However, in addition to the nobility, there is also a bit of heroism lingering between this person's brows, which does not make the whole person's feminine temperament too heavy, but instead makes him a little more masculine.
No matter who sees such a young man, he will probably say: What a handsome man!
In addition, there is another person who is slightly behind the rich man.
Wearing a green shirt, he looked like he had a knife hidden between his eyebrows. He was so sharp that people didn't dare to look at him.
He has a burly body and looks like a tiger with a wasp's waist and a mantis's legs. At first glance, he is a Lianjiazi.
Probably the rich man's personal bodyguard.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiu felt a little more understanding. She immediately stepped aside and said, "Are you two here to see the shop? Please come inside! Please come inside!"
When Li Changkong heard this, he raised his head and smiled at him, then walked into the shop.
When he saw the rope noose hanging from the beam and the kicked over chair, his eyes couldn't help but narrow.
"Boss, have you ever had someone die before?"
"The blood stains have been cleaned up."
When Liu Xiu heard this, he was immediately horrified. He knew that the other party had misunderstood and became suspicious. He hurriedly explained: "My lord, things are not what you think."
"To be honest, this rope was prepared for myself."
"Prepared for you?" When Li Changkong heard this, his brows were a little surprised: "I see that you are in your prime, why would you seek such short-sightedness?"
"This..." Liu Yu froze on the spot when asked, at a loss.
He really didn't want to say it!
After all, if I tell you this reason, I have to mention my grudges with the Fu family!
If this rich man is afraid of the Fu family's name and refuses to buy it, wouldn't he suffer the same consequences?
Is it possible to die again? That was too much torture.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Li Changkong silently took half a step back, while Li Jibei strode forward and put his hands on his waist.
I went out today for business.
Therefore, he did not carry a gun with him, but he did bring a dagger.
Moreover, he believed that this boss had no knowledge of martial arts and should be just an ordinary person.
As long as he dares to make any move, I can send him to death with one move!
Seeing the other party putting on this posture, Liu Xiu didn't know why. If he didn't say anything, the problem would probably become bigger.
So he could only sigh helplessly, and then said: "You two, it's not that I didn't tell you, I really can't help myself!"
Later, Liu Xiu talked about the struggle between himself and the Fu family with tears in his eyes.
Well, to be precise, it should be his personal struggle.
The Fu family probably didn't take themselves seriously from beginning to end, they just regarded themselves as ants, and it was normal for them to accidentally trample one or two to death while walking.
After hearing these words, Li Jibei thought of the head of the Fu family who was arrogant at first and respectful at the back that night.
I didn't expect that the other party would have such methods in oppressing the people.
There really is no way for people to survive!
When Li Changkong heard this, he didn't say anything.
It is normal for aristocratic families to oppress the people throughout the ages.
Otherwise, where would their money come from? Is it really all about the rewards from the imperial court?
Don't talk nonsense. A court's annual expenditures can be said to be countless. It's good that the treasury is not empty. How many aristocratic families do you need to support?
Of course, it’s about squeezing the people to make money quickly!
From this point of view, the aristocratic family is not free from cancer!
However, this is an inevitable state in the feudal era and cannot be managed by people without great perseverance, courage and ability!
Li Changkong is not such a person, and he doesn't want to worry about it.
However, the way the two of them remained silent was extremely horrifying in Liu Xiu's eyes.
It's over, it's over, these two are really afraid of the Fu family's name and don't dare to buy it.
Yes, yes, this young master looks powerful, but that's just compared to a humble boy like him, so how can he compete with the Fu family, one of the three major aristocratic families in the capital of Jin.
As expected, I still think too much.
Just when Liu Xiu's spirits were waning and she was about to issue an eviction order, Li Changkong spoke and said calmly: "What's the price?"
"What?" Liu Xiu froze on the spot, as if he didn't hear clearly.
"Let me ask you, how much money do you want to sell this shop for?" Li Changkong repeated.
"No more, no more, one thousand taels of silver!"
"Don't think it's too much. This shop faces south, with bright sunlight, and it's in an excellent location. It's right in the center of the south of the city. People from the south and north like to come and have a look."
"Especially those scholars with girls, they don't want to lose face, so they come in and buy it when they see it!"
"Business is definitely good!" After another unexpected turn of events, Liu Xiu began to vigorously promote his own store.
However, Li Changkong shook his head.
"Then what's your price?" To be honest, this thousand taels was just for testing.
Liu Xiu's psychological value is six hundred taels. As long as he has enough six hundred taels, he can pay off the rent, collect enough expenses, return to his hometown, and live a comfortable life from then on.
If it's less than six hundred taels...he can't do anything. The current situation cannot allow him not to buy it.
So the price all depends on Li Changkong. He is prepared to agree no matter how low Li Changkong bids, lest the other party bid even lower next time.
"Two thousand taels!"
"What...what?" Liu Xiu suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
