Although Chu Yun's attention was distracted when he came to Linghai giant city, Chu Yun didn't forget the main purpose of his trip.
He didn't come to Linghai city to be a big shopkeeper. It was just a task - at most, it was a very important task that must be completed.
Chu Yun's real goal is actually to take a chance in this Linghai giant city and find some higher-level tasks that can be completed immediately.
It's not hard.
Because Linghai giant city is broader and more important than yuanhezong. Its strength is complex and tangled vertically and horizontally. Chu Yun believes that as long as you stroll around, you can trigger some important tasks.
This mentality lasted until the afternoon of that day. Chu Yun's smiling face finally became a little stiff. He found that there was something wrong with his idea.
There are many important forces in Linghai City, but the problem is that Chu Yun can't go there at will.
Different from his time in Yuanhe sect, Chu Yun is also a great senior brother even if he is in a bad situation. No matter where he goes, at least no one will stop him, but he can't do it in this Linghai giant city.
If Chu Yun wants to go to some important places, he can't get in easily. Unless he goes as the big shopkeeper of Yuanhe Pavilion and has a legitimate reason, it will easily cause a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings and bring trouble to himself and the whole Yuanhe Pavilion. Chu Yun can't do this reckless behavior.
So
After a long time, Chu Yun just wandered around the streets. There were many busy streets. There were enthusiastic women in many places, even in the window on the second floor, waving handkerchiefs at him, which made Chu Yun feel the hospitality of the people in Linghai city.
However, Chu Yun certainly didn't go. The big shopkeeper of Tangtang Yuanhe pavilion would be disgraceful if he ran to visit the brothel in the daytime. He is still shameful.
The leisurely and boring time lasted until the afternoon, and the sun was setting.
Just as Chu Yun was about to return to Yuanhe Pavilion and end this failed day, Qian conveniently found some abnormalities. Many people gathered there and seemed to be watching.
"Sure enough, people everywhere like to watch the excitement. Tut Tut, what's good to see..."
Chu Yun shook his head and squeezed into the crowd, opening his eyes to see what was going on inside.
I saw that two groups were holding each other.
On one side were several fat and strong men, headed by a bald head, with an extremely ferocious scar on his face, which spread from the edge of his left eye to the celestial cover. It looked very frightening.
On the other side, there are a pair of thin father and daughter. Looking at the surrounding furnishings, the father and daughter seem to be street performers. The little girl looks beautiful and handsome. At the moment, she shrinks in the arms of her old father and looks pitiful.
"Old man Zhang, I'm not unreasonable when so many people look at me today. It's natural to repay the debt. It's really difficult for me to do if you don't repay the money now..."
Scar's bald head picked up a juggling flower gun on the ground and played it in his hand. The size of the flower gun used by the little girl was small. It fell in the palm of scar's bald head Pu fan, which looked like chopsticks.
As he stared at old man Zhang, his tone increased at the end, revealing a kind of ferocious ferocity. As soon as he exerted his force in his hand, the flower gun was forcibly broken by him, fell in two and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Black, Mr. Black Tiger, I don't want to pay back the money... Didn't we agree that I will take the money to cure the disease and return the money to you with interest within a month? Now I've only been ill for two days and my business hasn't been open for long. Where can I return the silver to you... "
Old man Zhang was bent, his lips and face were a little white. It could be seen that he had just recovered from a serious illness and was still very short of blood. At the moment, standing in front of the black tiger, he seemed as if a gust of wind could blow to the ground.
"Fart!"
The black tiger's eyes stared, and the fierce light in his eyes flashed and said, "my black tiger doesn't lend once or twice. How can I make such a note with you? What do you say? Pay back the money one month after you get well. Who borrows money like this? In case your illness doesn't get better for a few years, do I have to wait a year or two for you to ask for money? What I said at that time was to lend you one month and then pay back the money. Now one month has arrived, don't take the money quickly! "
"No, no
When the voice fell, old man Zhang was in a hurry. He quickly took out a cloth strip from his body and said, "it's clearly written on the cloth strip. I'll pay back the money after I've been ill for a month. We asked boss sun of the teahouse to do justice. I don't know the words on it. Who can help me..."
With that, old man Zhang held up the note and nervously showed it to the surrounding crowd. He was out of breath and looked like an old disease recurred at any time.
Chu Yun frowned and took a closer look at the cloth. It said that it was indeed may 19. He borrowed twenty liang of money for a month and returned thirty liang when it expired.
For a month's loan period, the interest rate is 50%. It is said that usury is light, but this exaggerated interest is not the key to the problem at this time.
The key is that old man Zhang said he would pay back the money one month after his illness, but the note said he would pay back the money one month after the loan.
"Hum!"
The black tiger sneered and laughed without saying anything.
In the crowd, there were onlookers who could read and shouted, "old man Zhang, what you wrote on this note is to repay the money after a month!"
"Yes, yes..."
The crowd echoed.
When old man Zhang heard the speech, he seemed to be covered. His brain hummed and his body trembled and sat on the ground. Then he picked up the cloth and stared at it. Although he couldn't understand the meaning of the words above, he saw two words from inside——
Trap.
Old man Zhang dropped the cloth, raised his hand tremblingly, pointed to the black tiger and said, "you frame me, you frame me with boss sun!"
The black tiger still sneered, but didn't admit it. He said, "if you can't afford the money, just say it. Don't pour dirty water on me. Be careful of my big fist like a casserole!"
Seeing this, Chu Yun couldn't help shaking his head.
It's clear what's going on.
The old man was ill and needed money to save his life. He was desperate to find the black tiger. Even if he knew it was usury, he had to borrow money, but he thought he was able to pay it back, because it seemed impossible to collect thirty liang of silver to pay back the money after he recovered from his illness for another month.
However, black tiger and boss sun of the teahouse set up a trap for him, saying that he would pay back the money one month after he was well, but in fact, he wrote that he would pay back the money one month after borrowing, which was bullying old man Zhang and being illiterate.
Now, old man Zhang clearly owes others money. It is clearly written in black and white. Even if he sues to the government, old man Zhang will not pay attention, because the evidence is conclusive.
Among the onlookers, many people also saw the truth of the matter, but they could only shake their heads. They knew that old man Zhang was wronged, but when they were fooled, they had to admit that they had suffered a loss. There was no other way.
Old man Zhang has nothing on him. The only thing of value is his tender and lovely little daughter. If you sue the government, the greatest possibility is to sell old man Zhang's daughter and replace it with silver to compensate the black tiger.
Or sell old man Zhang's daughter directly to the black tiger - and there is no doubt that this is the purpose of the black tiger's trap.
"How annoying..."
Chu Yun shook his head and took thirty Liang out of his pocket. He looked at the black tiger and died with a murderous flash in his eyes, so he was about to get out of the crowd.
Since Chu Yun met this kind of injustice, he naturally had to take care of it. Otherwise, it would be difficult to calm his mind.
However, you can't make a fool of yourself.
At the moment, old man Zhang owes others money. The evidence is conclusive. If he doesn't pay back the money, old man Zhang will finally have to sell his daughter.
Therefore, Chu Yun's idea is to come forward first and help old man Zhang pay back the money, and then look back and find an opportunity to get rid of the scum of the black tiger.
Not afraid of thieves, but afraid of thieves. If the culprit black tiger is not solved, as long as he still stares at old man Zhang's daughter, old man Zhang's tragedy will not stop.
And now——
Chu Yun took the money and was ready to walk out of the crowd.
A hand rested gently on his shoulder.
Then, Chu Yun's ear heard a cold sneer: "save your money."
Voice falling——
A gust of fragrant wind passed by Chu Yun. When Chu Yun saw a flower in front of him, he saw a figure wearing a burning red cloak floating away from the crowd and directly came to the field.
The black tiger was staring at the beautiful little daughter behind old man Zhang with unbridled eyes. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "however, there is no way out of heaven. Old man Zhang's body has just been raised, and I won't force you to a dead end. As long as you let Xiulan recognize me as my brother, I will..."
Before he finished, he heard a scream behind him.
"Ah --"
The black tiger frowned and turned his head. He saw that several of his men were covering the blood splashing wound on his neck and falling to the ground in pain.
In front of him, I don't know when a figure with a red cloak and a veil appeared. Although I can't see the woman's face and the figure under the cloak through the veil, I don't know how, the temperament and beauty revealed by the delicate eyebrows and eyes on the veil are the only thing that the black tiger has seen in his life.
It's the first time and the last time.
As soon as the woman waved her hand, her cloak raised a curtain of shock, and the sword light flashed.
Poop——
The black tiger's eyes widened, and the gushing blood flew out of his neck and splashed on the ground, but it was just right. It stopped at the woman's feet and didn't stain her cloak. Maybe it had already been stained, but the blood on the cloak was like a drop of water falling on the sea.
It all happened so fast that it was quiet for a long time.
Then the uproar broke out.
"... killed!!!"
Screams came and went. At this moment, the crowd, who were still bustling around, suddenly exploded a pot of porridge. The crowd ran around like headless flies.
Just two breaths, the crowd has disappeared. Chu Yun is the only one standing in place.
"Alas..."
Chu Yun sighed, still holding the prepared silver in his hand. Looking at the woman in red who didn't agree to kill, he couldn't help saying, "girl, why are you doing this?"
The woman in red held the blade with her cloak, wiped the blood on the long sword, then silently put the sword into the sheath, glanced at Chu Yun and said, "no matter how much money you have, you can't feed these villains."
With that, the woman in red walked up to Li Xiulan, who was stunned, gently rubbed her hair and said in a thin voice, "it's all right. Go home."
In Linghai giant city, the guard of the city master's house responsible for maintaining public security has always been fast. When Chu Yun noticed that someone was approaching the street quickly, he turned around and found that the woman in red had disappeared, and Li Laohan's father and daughter had only their back, and soon turned into the corner and disappeared.
"Not..."
Chu Yun drew a little from the corner of his mouth, looked at the direction in which the woman in red disappeared, touched his nose and said, "did she just take me as an unjust head willing to pay for nothing?"
It's true. It's a bit of a misunderstanding.
Chu Yun's original intention is not just to pay for old man Li. He has the same idea as the woman in red. He is going to solve the black tiger and other villains.
However, the difference is that Chu Yun won't directly kill in front of so many people in the street. It doesn't make sense in the open. After all, he is a person with identity. If he does, he will be caught by the competitors of Yuanhe Pavilion.
Therefore, Chu Yun plans to give the money to the black tiger first and finish the matter at present, and then go to solve the black tiger and his party. However, the woman in red seems to have misunderstood and thinks that Chu Yun is only going to give the money.
In this way, Chu Yun's image in the eyes of the woman in red is too stupid
Chu Yun resents this.
