Chapter 215 Ying Wah College (Part )
"Six million taels? Humph!" Qiu Baiwan glanced at the banknotes scattered on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Long Si, do you think we are three-year-old children? How can you have so much money? The banknotes on the ground, I'm afraid they are not even enough for ten thousand taels, right?"
"Old man, do you understand or not?" Long Si mocked without any scruples. "If you don't understand, go back and study more instead of coming out to embarrass yourself! Who the hell would carry six million taels of silver with them all day? This is of course the deposit. I have to inspect the goods first, and then I can settle the rest of the money. You don't understand shit, I don't want to bother with you, call someone who can make the decision to come out and talk to me."
"Long Si, I think you are here to cause trouble on purpose?" Pan Yun shouted angrily, "The Pan family has not yet settled the accounts with you, and you dare to come here to cause trouble?"
"Pan Yun, did I beat you silly?" Long Si scolded with a smile, "I've never seen you so arrogant before. What happened today? Is there someone backing you up?"
After saying that, Long Si suddenly stood up, put his hands on the awning, and looked around the scene in a joking manner, muttering to himself in a nonchalant manner: "I want to see who gave you such courage to contradict me."
Long Si's words and deeds are weird, his behavior is absurd, just like a "rogue".
"Are you Long Si?"
Liu Xunyi stared at the pretentious Long Si and asked indifferently.
"Who called me?"
Long Si feigned surprise and shouted, then jumped onto a chair and looked around. He pointed at the wealthy locals and asked each of them, "Is it you? Is it you?"
Wherever Long Si's eyes went, he saw looks of disgust from people who dared not speak out but were angry.
"Long Si, everyone here is your elder, please stop making trouble..."
"Fuck you!"
A sixty-year-old country gentleman standing nearby had watched Long Si grow up. He wanted to persuade him with kind words, but before he could finish his words, Long Si kicked him to the ground like a tiger leaping over a ravine.
Amid the exclamations of the people around him, Long Si unscrupulously punched and kicked the squire, shouting as he beat him: "How many times have I told you? Did you call me Long Si? Call me Master Long Si! You old bastard, I have always looked down upon you since you were a child, but you really deserve a beating the older you get!"
The nephew of the squire wanted to step forward to stop them, but they were pinned to the ground by Long Si's men and were beaten up for no reason.
"Beat him!" Long Si, panting, pointed at the squire who was curled up on the ground and didn't move, and shouted, "Beat him until he learns his lesson."
"stop!"
Liu Xunyi shouted, and Xu Heng, Tang Cong, Liao Chuan, and Liao Hai all drew their swords and stared at Long Si with murderous eyes.
"Stop it!" Long Si glanced at Liu Xunyi, then turned to the bruised and battered squire and said, "I'll remember this account first, and I'll settle it with you, old bastard, later!"
Under Liu Xunyi's cold gaze, Long Si walked forward slowly, but before he could get close to Liu Xunyi, Xu Heng had already placed a knife across his body, blocking his way.
"Are you Liu Xunyi?" Long Si looked arrogant and fearless, looking at Liu Xunyi without any hesitation.
"Did you call Liu Xunyi?" Tang Cong glared and used his own method to fight back, shouting coldly, "Call Master Liu!"
Long Si glanced at Tang Cong lightly, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
"Since it's being sold in public, can I make an offer?" Long Sidiao asked.
"Master Liu, I don't believe he has so much money." Qiu Baiwan questioned.
"I can't gather that much silver, but I have something else that is equally valuable." Long Si said jokingly, "It's worth more than six million taels of silver..."
Liu Xunyi raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "What do you have?"
"I have ten boxes of gold and silver ornaments, ten boxes of pearls and jade, ten boxes of silk and satin, ten boxes of antiques and calligraphy and paintings, ten boxes of precious medicinal materials..." Long Si counted them one by one with his fingers in a serious manner. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he pretended to have suddenly realized something, "Oh, and there is also a white jade Guanyin, this big!"
After saying that, Long Si quickly raised his hands and gestured in the air. He spoke with conviction and assurance, fearing that Liu Xunyi would not believe him.
As soon as these words came out, the looks of Liu Xunyi and the Pan family suddenly changed. They all knew that the white jade Guanyin was the birthday gift that Luo Tianjin gave to Pan Chuba last year.
Obviously, everything Long Si just said were things he had stolen from the Pan family.
Long Si's despicable act of using Pan's money to buy Pan's land immediately attracted the contempt of everyone. However, due to the miserable state of the beaten gentry, no one dared to say anything.
Long Si seemed not to notice Liu Xunyi's displeasure, and pretended to be curious and asked: "How is it? Are these things of mine worth six million taels? If not, I have something else..."
"call!"
Before Long Si finished speaking, Liu Xunyi suddenly attacked. His movements were as fast as lightning, and even Xu Heng, who was standing in front of Long Si, didn't have time to react. In an instant, Liu Xunyi's right hand had already tightly grasped Long Si's neck.
The sudden change caused an uproar on the Jingxin stage.
Under Liu Xunyi's grip, Long Si's face turned red. He wanted to open his mouth to speak, but before his lips and teeth opened, Liu Xunyi's five fingers suddenly tightened. Long Si felt his throat tighten and he wished he could stick half of his tongue out of his mouth. How could he utter another word?
Therefore, no one knew whether Long Si was begging for mercy or continuing to provoke. As for Long Si's men, by the time they reacted, it was too late. They could only stand aside with their eyes wide open, unable to advance or retreat.
Liu Xunyi looked coldly at Long Si who was almost suffocating to death, and said word by word: "I hate lowly people like you the most in my life. I wish I could kill one by one if I see one."
Tang Cong saw that Liu Xunyi's murderous intention suddenly rose, and his eyes changed. He hurriedly moved forward and whispered in a low voice: "Master, Miss Xunzhen has instructed..."
After hearing this, Liu Xunyi took a deep breath, as if to calm down his inner turmoil. Then he pushed forward fiercely, causing the dying Long Si to fall several times.
"Excuse me for making a fool of myself." Liu Xunyi said calmly, "Anyone can make an offer today, except that bastard Long Si! If no one offers more than Manager Qiu's five million taels, then this matter will be..."
"Qiu Baiwan!" Under the heavy protection of a group of big men, Long Si didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Liu Xunyi anymore. Instead, he cast a sinister look at Qiu Baiwan and threatened, "You should know that Pan's Wharf is in my hands now. If you dare to buy it, I will make your Qiu family live in unrest!"
Being threatened by Long Si in person, Qiu Baiwan was extremely angry. But he was a businessman after all, how could he get involved with bandits? If Long Si really occupied the Panjia Wharf and refused to let go, Qiu Baiwan would really be helpless.
Thinking of this, Qiu Baiwan couldn't help but show hesitation, and said hesitantly: "Master Liu, what do you think about this matter..."
Seeing Qiu Baiwan surrender, Long Si suddenly burst into laughter, looking arrogant and domineering.
"I'm going to spread the word today that whoever dares to buy things from the Pan family will be an enemy of me, Long Si!" Long Si glared at everyone fiercely. At the same time, he subconsciously took a few steps back to avoid another surprise attack from Liu Xunyi.
"Long Si, don't go too far!" Pan Wen was so angry that he was shaking all over. He shouted angrily: "Master Liu is from the Xianwang Mansion. Do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Long Si retorted viciously, "If you have the guts, why don't you call Luo Tianjin over? I want to see what he dares to do to me."
"Crazy! Crazy! Long Si is simply crazy!" The eldest lady was filled with grief and anger, and sighed repeatedly.
Pan Yuyin looked at Liu Xunyi for help and asked in a low voice: "Brother Liu, what should we do?"
At this moment, Liu Xunyi was extremely anxious, but Xunzhen had said last night that he must be patient and patient until the person behind Long Si showed up. Therefore, even if he was furious at this moment, he could not kill Long Si for the sake of momentary pleasure.
"Haha..." Long Si laughed proudly, "Liu Xunyi, Pan Wen, did you see that? With me, Long Si, here, no one in Yingchuan dares to buy your stuff. The documents and deeds in your hands are just a few pieces of waste paper, worthless!"
“Who said no one dares to buy it?”
Before Long Si finished speaking, an old voice suddenly came from the corner of the meditation platform.
An old man in cloth slowly walked out from behind the crowd. He was about sixty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, kind and gentle, and a thin body, but he was in good spirits.
"Who are you?" Long Si frowned and asked provocatively, "I look unfamiliar, but do you know who I am?"
The old man ignored Long Si and walked directly to Liu Xunyi and Pan Wen, bowed and said, "I am Shen Gui, honored to meet Sect Master Liu and Shopkeeper Pan."
"I wonder if senior is..."
"My master is willing to pay 10 million taels of silver to buy out all the business of Pan Huai Ship Merchant in Yingchuan." Shen Gui said bluntly. After that, he took out a thick stack of gold notes from his sleeve, slowly placed it on the table, and said lightly, "I have 100,000 gold notes, worth 10 million taels of silver. Please check it, Manager Pan."
"Hiss!" As soon as Shen Gui said this, there was an uproar in the place.
Shen Gui was dressed simply and looked unremarkable, but I didn't expect him to be so generous. Moreover, he spoke calmly from beginning to end, without even blinking, and spent a lot of money as if it were just a few cents, with a calm mind and a calm attitude, which was really amazing.
Qiu Baiwan stared at Shen Gui in astonishment with a pair of old eyes full of fear and suspicion, with a hint of deep thought between his brows, as if he was pondering something.
At the same time, many people in the field began to secretly speculate about Shen Gui's identity.
Pan Wen had been doing business for many years, so he could tell the authenticity of these gold notes at a glance. At this moment, he was also full of surprise. Even if Pan Chuba were alive, he would not be able to do such a big deal.
After Pan Wen confirmed that the gold note was correct, he nodded gently to Liu Xunyi. Seeing this, Liu Xunyi bowed to Shen Gui and said, "I dare to ask, who is the 'master' that Mr. Shen is talking about? Isn't he afraid of offending Long Si and getting into trouble? Or even... trouble in the future?"
"My master has countless friends and enemies in his life." Shen Gui smiled lightly, "Long Si, a mere man, is not qualified to oppose my master. My master is a friend of Mr. Pan Ba. Before, Mr. Pan Ba was doing business in Yingchuan, so he didn't want to rashly interfere in the business here. Now that Mr. Pan Ba has passed away, he wants to do some small business in Yingchuan. This 10 million taels is just a little gift from the master to the Pan family. In addition to buying all the deeds of Pan Huai's ship merchant, the remaining money is considered as funeral money. Hehe..."
As soon as Long Si heard this, his face turned pale. But before he could make trouble, Pan Wen had already accepted the gold note and handed the wooden box to Shen Gui, saying respectfully: "Mr. Shen, here are all the documents and deeds of my Pan family. I am giving them to you now. Please be sure to pass on my thanks..."
"I remember now!" Before Pan Wen finished speaking, Qiu Baiwan's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked anxiously, "You are Shen Gui, the 'Golden Abacus' Shen Gui of Dongshan Company! Right?"
Shen Gui smiled helplessly, which was considered as his agreement.
Seeing this, the Jingxin stage suddenly exploded. For a moment, everyone was whispering to each other, looking at Shen Gui with a look of deep horror.
"Dongshan Chamber of Commerce?" Liu Xunyi was stunned and asked in surprise, "So, the 'master' you are talking about is... the richest man in Song Dynasty, Shen Dongshan!"
