Although in the early Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu stipulated that one tael of gold was worth the same as 4 taels of silver, since Yongle, one tael of gold could basically be exchanged for eight to ten taels of silver.
One thousand taels of silver is also about one hundred taels of gold. Qiu Bu couldn't look down on him at all.
However, no matter how disdainful it is, it cannot be compared to the saying: no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat!
The two men drove the waiter and nurse into the counter and moved trays of silver onto the counter.
"You go to all this trouble just for a thousand taels of silver?" Although he looked down upon him, he still put the silver into the sack honestly and neatly.
"One thousand taels! Do you think one thousand taels is too little?" Lin Linyou asked, "Do you know that with a body like yours, if you sell yourself in the capital, how many times would you have to sell yourself to save up one thousand taels?"
"I don't know, how many times will it be sold?" Qiu Bu asked humbly.
"Perhaps, it won't be sold at all." Lin Linyou said.
"Oh, why? I have such a good figure!" Qiu Bu seemed to be still dissatisfied.
"You're in good shape, but you're not smart enough with just your tongue." Lin Linyou said, "I'll give you half a piece of watermelon. Can you lick it all with your tongue in half an hour? Stuff a copper into the pork, and you can Can you take out the copper with just your tongue? It has to be stinking pork."
"This...I haven't really tried it. It doesn't sound easy." Qiu Bu said. After all, martial arts practitioners are all about hard martial arts. Who has nothing to do to practice their tongue? There is only literary training, martial arts training and horizontal training, but there is no tongue training. Not everyone is as perverted as Tao Baibai created by Xiaoli. "Who has nothing to do to practice their tongue?"
"Eh--it's necessary for this business!"
"It's not easy, it's really not easy!" Qiu Bu shook his head, "Could it be that Brother Lin, have you sold it before?"
"What words?!"
As they talked, the two of them had already pocketed all the one thousand taels of silver from the pawn shop. Each of them carried a bag, which weighed about thirty kilograms, filled with small silver ingots of two or three taels. After leaving the pawn shop, I got on my horse and drove away...
"I just heard that the owner of this pawn shop is named Shen. Do you know him?" The journey went smoothly and the two of them returned to the pasture. As soon as they entered the house, Qiu Bu asked.
"We know you." Lin Linyou gurgled and drank several bowls of water. It was his first robbery, which made him very excited and still unfinished.
"Gangqing, are you dragging me along to avenge your personal vengeance?"
"You dare to rob someone you don't know? Who knows who is backing him?" Lin Linyou wiped a handful of tea from the corner of his mouth, "If I can rob a prince or a noble lord, then what's the point?"
"Jushan Pawn Shop, who is the owner?"
"Shen Wendu, the richest man in Wu, have you heard of him?"
"Have you heard that he has no support behind him?"
"have."
"who?"
"Your Majesty, Ji Gang, is the Commander-in-Chief of our Jinyi Guards." Lin Linyou smiled slightly.
Qiu Bu's heart trembled: "Are you setting a trap for me?!" Ji Gang, after all, occupies the word "noble" in the "Princes and Nobles". Currently, he is favored and powerful in the court, and the cabinet has never looked at him. No prince dared to offend him, and robbing him would be even worse than robbing a prince!
"If I set a trap for you, I wouldn't do it myself." Lin Linyou said. "As a royal guard, I'm not afraid, but you, a wanderer, what are you afraid of?"
In fact, Lin Linyou really has his own Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Is Qiu Bong willing to follow him? Just use the buried gold to hang him. He is very skilled in martial arts and can be regarded as a good bodyguard. It might come in handy when dealing with Ji Gang and others in the future.
During these days in the pasture, one day he had a flash of inspiration and vaguely remembered the location where the gold was buried. However, he would not tell him, and he would not let Qiu hang up.
Qiu had to know that Lin Linyou had a feud with Ji Gang. After all, the feud was not very obvious, and few people in Jinyiwei knew about it, let alone an outsider. If this hatred were obvious, Ji Gang would never let Lin Linyou live so comfortably.
"How dare you even rob your commander's money?"
What's the matter? He didn't know that Lin Linyou dared to snatch the commanding officer's woman.
"What's the point? Many people are robbing the money of their own people? The money of the people closest to them?" Lin Linyou said, "It's only a thousand taels here, which is a drop in the bucket. Ji Gang, Shen Wendu and the others don't care. ." He grabbed a few ingots of silver and played with them. He was worthy of being the richest man in Wu. The silver was all Su Baoyin of good quality.
"Do you have a grudge against your commander?" Going against the commander of the Jinyi Guards is the same as going against the emperor, it is the same as rebellion, and it is a major crime against the nine clans! Who would a normal Jin Yiwei do such a thing? Qiu Bu had to re-evaluate the former brother in front of him with a critical eye. In the past, the two of them only met for a brief moment and then separated. But this time, they have been together for such a long time. They have never been together since they left the border. , Qiu Bu felt that Lin Linyou had changed and became a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.
The only thing he was sure of was that although Lin Linyou was passionate and courageous in the past, he was not so bold and had a hint of cunning and elusiveness.
"I will take two hundred taels of these silvers, two for me and eight for you." Lin Linyou said generously, "If I copy Shen Wendu in the future, I will have the thirty thousand taels of silver that I owe you."
"Wow!" He poured the bag of silver in his hand onto the ground.
Looking at the pile of dazzling silver light, Qiu Bu couldn't put aside the worries in his heart for the time being, and reached out to pick up the silver and start playing with it.
In this world, there is only silver, which is whiter than a woman's face, and gold, which is yellower than the candlelight in the boudoir.
However, although the silver is good, it makes me miss that car of gold even more!
Lin Linyou asked: "Are you in a hurry for money? Why are you so obsessed with that cart of gold?"
"I paid for that with my life!" Qiu Bu said angrily.
"You will come back after all the gold is gone. You are still alive. There will be many opportunities to earn gold in the future."
"My life is very hard." Qiu Bu said, "You'd better pray that your life is enough silver. Don't die before you tell me the whereabouts of the gold. Apart from these eight hundred taels of silver, you still owe me thirty-four thousand." One thousand two hundred taels.”
"There's no need to calculate it in such detail, right? Can I just put a zero on it?"
"Brothers are still settling accounts!"
Lin Linyou no longer regards the gold as one thing at this time. The gold should be regarded as the bodyguard fee for Qiu Bu! Of course, in installments.
…
At night, Qiu Bu fell asleep sweetly, sleeping on the bed in Lin Linyou's cabin, wrapped in a thin silk quilt. At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, with a slight chill of autumn, sleeping wrapped up in a quilt is the most comfortable at this time.
Of course, it would be even more beautiful if there was a woman hugging him.
The water in the Yangtze River rises and recedes quickly. It has been sunny for several days. Although the water is deep now, it is not very fast anymore, and there are already ferries on the way. Lin Linyou then crossed the river to Beijing overnight and couldn't tell Qiu what he was doing.
Qiu Bu didn't doubt his presence. After all, Lin Linyou's divine machine gun was still hanging on the wall, and he hadn't taken away the two hundred taels of silver, so he was sure he would come back. Even if he doesn't come back, it doesn't matter. Qiu Bu will just rest for one or two nights before preparing to leave.
He slept soundly that night. He slept soundly not only because he had a bed to lie on and a quilt, but most importantly, he had a dream. He dreamed that the silver he had snatched during the day had turned into gold. Piles in the house, piles, glowing with golden light.
That golden light is so real! It was dazzlingly real, and it also exuded a sense of warmth.
But gradually, something didn't feel right. The warmth turned into heat, getting hotter and hotter, with a choking smell of smoke...
Qiu Bu suddenly woke up, but he heard crackling sounds outside the house, and green smoke and golden light poured in continuously from the crack in the door. He jumped out of bed and opened the small window. With a "boom", a flame burst out. Come in and set half of his temples on fire!
But I saw the fire raging outside the house, and it seemed that the entire pasture was engulfed in flames...
Du Lifu and others gathered outside the wooden house shrouded in flames, and were admiring their masterpieces with great interest. Suddenly, they saw the flames on the thatched roof of the wooden house scattering, and a figure broke through the roof and jumped out into the air!
He was holding a long knife in his hand, and he was naked. Under the light of the fire, the knife and his naked body both glowed, like a god descending to earth!
