Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 63 Li Goudan Cried Again

Gao Ming waited outside the inn, ready to give Li Goudan a big surprise when he came out, but the latter was completely unaware of the coming crisis, and was counting money in the happy room at this time.

"95, 96, 97... eh? Why is it gone? Didn't you agree to pay 100 taels, this damn liar, next time I have to find a way to lie to him again!"

Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps, which is Li Goudan's mentality at this time.

"That guy should go away by now? Well, I can't stay here for long, I'd better go!"

Thinking of this, Li Goudan weighed the small bag containing the broken silver in his hand, then put it in his arms with a smile, hummed a little song and went downstairs.

But as soon as he walked downstairs, he was stunned.

"Huh? Wasn't there a lot of people here just now? Why is there no one all of a sudden?"

Li Goudan had been busy deceiving people in the house before, so he didn't hear the movement outside the inn. Looking at the empty inn now, he felt something was wrong.

"I have an ominous premonition, forget it, I'd better go home soon, at worst I won't be doing business these days!"

While talking to himself, Li Goudan walked out of the inn with his head down, but just as he walked out of the inn door, a familiar voice rang next to his ears.

"Oh, isn't this Li Goudan? Why don't you greet your old friends loudly, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Goudan turned his head immediately, and when he saw Gao Ming's face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he immediately showed a shocked expression.

"You... why are you here?"

Seeing Li Goudan's "I've seen a ghost" expression, Gao Ming suddenly smiled more happily, walked up to him slowly, and then stretched out his hand to pat his face lightly.

"You can be here, why can't I be here? How is it? Business is good today, isn't it?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, Li Goudan's expression changed drastically, and he turned around and ran away without saying a word!

But unfortunately, he had just taken two steps, when he heard two "噗噐", two horizontal knives gleaming with cold light appeared in front of him, which made him stop.

And Gao Ming's voice sounded behind him again.

"Yo, I said Li Goudan, even if we only met once and the relationship is not close, you can't just run away without saying hello, right? Am I that scary?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan turned around with a mournful expression on his face, and then knelt down in front of Gao Ming with a "plop".

"Grandpa, little man..."

Before he could speak, Gao Ming interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Okay, if you beg for mercy, I won't listen to you. Yesterday, I kindly let you go, but it seems that you kindly treated me as a donkey, so today we have to settle the account. You should talk about it." Look, what do you want Grandpa to do with you this time?"

"This……"

After hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan's expression immediately became very exciting. After a while, he gritted his teeth and took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Gao Ming.

"Grandpa, this is a trivial matter, even if I treat you to tea."

Li Goudan knew very well that this bag of money could not save him from danger, but if he went to jail, the money would not be safe either, so it would be better to take it out as soon as possible to make a good impression.

Gao Ming was very happy that he was so knowledgeable about current affairs. He took the money bag over with a smile, and then raised his chin towards the middle-aged man next to him.

"Come here and have a look, is this your money?"

In fact, the man had been staring at Li Goudan since he took out the money bag just now, so he immediately ran over with a smile on his face.

"Hey, my lord, this is the villain's purse."

Seeing his eagerness, Gao Ming smiled and shook his head, then threw the money bag to him.

"Take the money and go, and take that old golden turtle with you. Go back and make a bowl of soup to make up for your lack of heart."

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, a burst of laughter erupted from the surrounding people who were watching.

"Hahahaha!"

"This lord is right, go back and stew the golden turtle!"

"You should make up for it, haha!"

Hearing the laughter around him, the man blushed with shame. He hurriedly bowed deeply to Gao Ming, and then ran away covering his face. Seeing this scene, the people around him laughed even harder.

Gao Ming was also laughing, but the object of his laughter was not the escaped man, but Li Goudan who was kneeling in front of him.

"Hey, Li Goudan, it seems that your business is doing well. This time it's 100 taels. Even if you make a deal in three days, you can earn more than 1 yuan in a year. There are not many rich people in Datang now, right?"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan's cold sweat broke out immediately, and he quickly stammered to argue.

"Grand...you're just joking, I don't have this ability, I can only shoot two or three times a year, otherwise, even if I don't get caught by the government, the Buddha statues in the temple don't have so much gold powder for me to scrape, lord dont you agree?"

Just as Li Goudan finished speaking, the people around laughed again with a "boom".

Now everyone basically knows what happened. It was nothing more than a liar who used a gold dusted old turtle to deceive a rich fool, and this guy sounded like a habitual criminal, but now he was caught, and It looked like he was in a lot of trouble.

But it's not a big deal to watch the excitement, everyone is watching it with gusto.

Gao Ming also came from the melon-eating crowd at the beginning, and he also understood everyone's psychology of watching the excitement, so he didn't let the street patrolling Wuhou chase them away, but smiled at them instead.

"Folks, how do you think this liar should be dealt with?"

As soon as Gao Ming finished speaking, the surrounding noises suddenly quieted down. After a while, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.

"Behead!"

With the sound of this sound, the people around seemed to have a backbone, and various shouts also sounded.

"Catch him and go to jail!"

"Hang him!"

"Drink poisoned wine!"

"Beheading at the vegetable market!"

"The car cracked!"

Hearing these shouts, Li Goudan was immediately stunned, because apart from the first few voices saying that he would go to jail, the later ones basically changed the law to kill him.

Is this how you hate me?
As the shouts around him grew louder, Li Goudan's tears immediately flowed out.

"My lord, the little one is just defrauding some money, not murdering and setting fire, the crime is not worthy of death, woo woo woo woo..."

While crying, he kowtowed to Gao Ming, each head coughing loudly.

Li Goudan felt that he was wronged, and burst into tears in an instant. As his cries spread, the people around him who were shouting and beating and killing became quiet again.

Watching this scene, Gao Ming suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
