No. 8 Pawnshop

Chapter 85:

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling went through a lot of hardships, but they also had adventures, and gradually their reputation spread all over the world. When they went to Pegasus Ranch to buy horses, they accidentally saw Ye from Yangzhou City boss.

“Boss Ye, why are you here too?” Kou Zhong was in a good mood after meeting a good old acquaintance.

Ye Li smiled: “I have a business to discuss here.”

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling has learned a lot during this period of time. He knows that Pegasus Ranch is a force that all parties want to win over, and the people who can come here to talk business are definitely not ordinary people. After being surprised, they were relieved. They are not small now, and Kou Zhong has also established a young marshal army, with great ambitions and ambitions in the world.

Ye Li had a quick chat with them and then left, she still had other things to do.

In a small building at night, Ye Li was sitting at the edge of a round table, and sitting opposite her was an old man dressed in a gray robe with a quirky face and a towering pine and cypress. He drank the mellow six-fruit wine without saying a word.

The room was not lit, but the bright moon outside the window fell in and illuminated the room.

The old man was silent, but Ye Li smiled, “Mr. Lu, have you thought about it?”

This old man of Qing Dynasty in a gray robe is the number one genius in the world, Lu Miaozi, and the biological father of Shang Xiuxun, the current owner of the Pegasus Ranch.

Lu Miaozi sighed and said, “What Boss Ye wants, the old man really can’t give up?”

Ye Li said slowly, “It’s worth living for another fifteen years for the exchange of knowledge.”

What Ye Li wants is nothing but the knowledge of this world’s number one genius, including martial arts, medicine, institutions, the Book of Changes, astronomy, gardening, architecture, art of war, gambling, etc. much knowledge.

Lu Miaozi gave a wry smile. These knowledges are the result of his decades of hard work, and they are also the existence he is most proud of.

“I know Mr. Lu is a man who cherishes his life, otherwise he wouldn’t drink these six fruit wines every day.” Ye Li glanced at the contents of the cup and said warmly.

It is not surprising that Lu Miaozi was caught in her mind. Thirty years ago, he was seriously injured by Zhu Yuyan of the Yingui School, and he has survived to this day because of Liuguojiu.

Ye Li chuckled, “I’m afraid Mr. Lu is not willing to reconcile with his daughter for a long time, so he will die in Huangquan.”

This is also thanks to Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and it really has a long fortune, helping Lu Miaozi and his daughter reconcile, and making Lu Miaozi more reluctant to die.

Speaking of her daughter Shang Xiuxun, Lu Miaozi finally made up her mind, “Boss Ye, I am willing to trade with you.”

When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling asked about Boss Ye the next day, they learned that she had left Pegasus Ranch. Lu Miaozi lost all his knowledge and could not accept Shuanglong as his apprentice. He just told them the secret of Yang Gong’s treasure house and gave them a few cheats as thanks.

After Ye Li left the Pegasus Ranch, he came to Chang’an in an instant. At this time, the Sui family had not fallen, and the new owner was still growing. As a capital, Chang’an is prosperous and grand, but today it is more chilling and bloody.

The elder Xu Zhi of the dynasty was sentenced to be beheaded for angering the Sage, and executed at Shikou today.

Many people rushed to watch, watching Xu Zhi, who was escorted from the Tianjing place in chains and paraded in a prison car, and his relatives who were also about to be executed, the people onlookers couldn’t help but talk about it , both inside and outside know that the emperor was ruthless and killed Zhongliang, but who can really stand up. Everyone in the world knows that the Sui Dynasty has been in chaos, and it will not last long.

When Xu Zhi was taken to the execution platform tremblingly, her turbid and tired eyes saw Ye Li in the crowd, she smiled and said nothing, just like the expression in the pawnshop. Xu Zhi thought that Boss Ye might have seen his end at that time, so he would say such a thing.

The building will collapse, and it will be difficult to support it.

Xu Zhi stared at Ye Li who was calm in the crowd for a long time, Ye Li did not look away, still smiling, aloof and indifferent, as if waiting for his answer.

Beside him are his son, grandson, wife and daughter-in-law, even grandchildren who are only a few years old, Xu Zhi can almost hear their low sobbing, the sky above seems to be They are all covered by dark clouds, and the sun cannot be seen.

Xu Zhi finally closed his eyes.

The knife flashed, and more than a dozen heads fell.

Ye Li also walked out of the crowd and didn’t take a second look. People are so stubborn.

Li Jiancheng was ordered by his father Li Yuan to come here. Anyway, Xu Zhi and his father were officials in the same dynasty, and they had a good relationship. His father was not easy to come forward, so letting him come is considered to send Master Xu One Cheng, Master Xu only persuaded Emperor Sui a few more words. The Xu family had a family of 36, and all the children who learned to walk when they were young would all be executed. Li Jiancheng couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.

However, this is also beneficial to their family’s uprising. Li Jiancheng’s face looks a little better. He also knows his father Li Yuan’s thoughts, but he also has concerns. This kind of thing is inherently risky. , Unexpectedly, his second brother Li Shimin vigorously persuaded his father to revolt.

Thinking of this, Li Jiancheng couldn’t help but flash a little gloom in his eyes. He is the righteous son, but Li Shimin robbed him everywhere, making his father Li Yuan reluctant to establish the son, which made him It is difficult for Li Jiancheng to develop a deep love for Li Shimin’s brotherhood.

Li Jiancheng shook his head and stopped thinking about it, and saw that the execution ground was over, and the officers and soldiers who had been sentenced had also left, so he got up from his seat and said to the people accompanying him, “We Let’s go back.”

As soon as he walked downstairs, he heard loud noises coming from the door, Li Jiancheng frowned, and ordered a servant to see what was going on. The little servant came back soon and told him, “Eldest son, it’s a few Yuwen family members who are pestering a girl.”

It would be a hindrance to his father’s affairs.

Li Jiancheng thought about it this way, and said to the people around him, “Don’t meddle in your own business, let’s avoid the eyes and ears and leave.”

The difference between Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin can be seen from this point. Li Jiancheng sees more dangers, while Li Shimin sees more opportunities in danger. He will never avoid it, but will make things bigger, and then use his righteous words to help the weak. His reputation for not being afraid of Yuwen’s power makes the Yuwen family dare not touch him, and also establishes a better reputation for the Li clan among the people.

As a ‘weak’ who was entangled by the Yuwen family, Ye Li couldn’t help shaking his head and said, Li Jiancheng will lose to Li Shimin, and it is not wrong. Of course, she didn’t find these scum of Yuwen’s family. She just wanted to design a chance to meet Li Jiancheng, and she wouldn’t use such a stupid method. These people were really ‘lucky’ to run out.

Li Jiancheng was about to leave from a place where there were few people at the door, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the entangled woman, and suddenly stopped unconsciously, his eyes were full of surprise, she was looking at him Smile.

“Stop it.” Li Jiancheng stepped out of the crowd with a calm demeanor that was not in line with the past. The few Yuwen family members who met his eyes couldn’t help but back away, and at the same time recognized Come, “It’s the eldest son of Tang Guogong.”

The direct line of Yuwen’s family didn’t dare to oppose the eldest son of the Li clan, so he laughed and left. As for whether he will add fuel to Yuwen’s family after returning to talk about this matter, it is not certain.

But they won’t have a chance, Ye Li’s lips curved, and then followed Li Jiancheng who was smiling at her and left.

Tang Guogong also has his own mansion in Chang’an, which was bestowed by Emperor Wen. Li Jiancheng took Ye Li all the way to his room, and waved his hand to let the others go down. Ye Li looked around the room, it was very luxurious, Ye Li walked around the room twice, and finally sat on the bed.

At the same time, Li Jiancheng also seemed to wake up, shook his head, looked up at Ye Li on the bed, his eyes were no longer amazing, but unstoppable panic and fear.

“Who are you? What did you do to confuse me? What was your purpose?”

Ye Li suddenly smiled, “My surname is Ye, I want to do business with you, a business that can help you.”

“What can you do for me?” Compared with Li Shimin’s Li Xian corporal, Li Jiancheng cares more about his dignity as the eldest son of the Li clan, and Ye Li has controlled his mind, which makes him There was a hint of arrogance and indifference in his tone.

Ye Li smiled and said, “For example, I can make you the prince of Tang Guogong.”

Li Jiancheng suddenly changed his face, “What you said is true.”

“Of course it’s true, but everything has a price, and I want something from you.”

After thinking for a while, Li Jiancheng hesitated, “What?”

The moment he finished speaking, he followed Ye Li to the No. 8 pawnshop, because his heart was already inclined towards the willingness to trade.

Before Li Jiancheng could panic, he heard Ye Li’s cold voice, “I want two years of your life.”

Li Jiancheng has only heard of gold and silver treasures, antique treasures can be pawned, but never thought that life can also be pawned? After Li Jiancheng was shocked, he thought that this was nothing compared to the position of a legitimate son.

“If you want me to be the prince, you can take it.” Li Jiancheng said very generously.

“Okay, please sign the contract.” Ye Li raised his finger to the white paper and brush that appeared on the desk, and smiled.

When the two of them returned to the room again, Li Jiancheng’s first thought was to worry that the servant thought he was gone, but he heard Ye Li say slowly, “Don’t worry, they won’t find out. ”

Li Jiancheng returned to his senses, thinking of what happened just now, he still felt unbelievable.

“What do I need to do now?” Li Jiancheng’s attitude towards Ye Li has changed a lot, and he is a little impatient with Ye Li’s promise.

Ye Li said lightly, “The first thing you have to do now is to arrange a suitable place for me, and the second is to wait.”

“Okay, Miss Ye.” Li Jiancheng nodded and said to the door, “Come on, make arrangements for Miss Ye…”

Ye Li sat on the bed, looked at the sunlight outside the window, and hooked her lips. The Bai family has Li Shimin, so she has a Li Jiancheng, and it is not certain who will win?
