Chapter 67 Liu Moze

Xue Chang responded neither humble nor overbearing: "My Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau will never fail to repay its debts, and Mr. Wu is here to uphold justice, so this matter will definitely be settled fairly and justly!"

Even though Xue Chang's expression was calm, how could Xiancheng Wu not hear the sarcasm contained in his tone? Even though he was unhappy, he just snorted softly and didn't say anything more. For the purpose, there is no need to anger a former Escort, even though it is now sunset.

He remembered a senior official reminded him: "...Although compared with the previous dynasty, this dynasty has greatly strengthened the control over martial arts people, but the tragedy of officials being killed for offending Jianghu people still happens occasionally. Wu Si later caught the murderer, but the dead cannot be brought back to life, so we must be cautious when trying cases involving martial arts figures!..."

Thinking of this, he looked at Mao Jichun, urging him.

Mao Jichun immediately said with a smile on his face: "Boss Xue, your father borrowed 500 taels of silver, and after including the interest, he has to pay us back 150 taels of silver. Are you going to repay the money directly? Or use this House mortgage?"

Since the last time he walked out of this house, he sent people to strengthen the surveillance of Jincheng Bodyguard Bureau.When Xue Fu went out to borrow money, he instigated someone to injure him; after finding out that Yin Bin and others were running for him, he suggested that Lin Yan secretly ask for help from a certain nobleman, and then with his help, he prepared a lot of money to visit Wang Zhifu and got his Promise... Facts have proved that his strategy is very effective, and now the Xue family child is already a soft-shelled turtle.

He was complacent and wanted to see the other party's expression of despair, and helplessly said the answer he wanted.

However, Xue Chang showed a confident smile, and said forcefully, "Of course it is to pay back the money!"

Mao Jichun thought the other party was just being stubborn, and sneered, "Repay the money? Do you have enough money?"

"I don't have any ready-made silver." Xue Chang unhurriedly reached into the handbag tied at his waist, took out two pieces of suet jade, and held them in his palm: "But I have this."

Mao Jichun took a closer look, and then laughed loudly: "Aren't you joking, with these two white stones, you want to pay for my 7000 taels of silver?!" Then he lowered his face, and said with a dark look: "Young escort Xue, Since you can't pay back the money, don't blame me for being rude—"

Before he finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted: "Such a big seed jade! Such a clear and moist water color! It is so rare to see a single flaw! A priceless treasure, this is a priceless treasure!"

An old man in ordinary clothes rushed to Xue Chang's side from the back of the crowd at some point, staring straight at the suet jade in his hand, his expression turned out to be extremely excited.

"Go away, old man, this is not a place for you to make trouble!" Mao Jichun thought that this person was bought by Xue Chang, so he cursed angrily, and even wanted to show him some seriousness, so as to kill chickens and scare monkeys.

"Stop, don't be rude!" Wu Xiancheng hurriedly stopped him, and rushed forward to salute respectfully: "Master Liu, I didn't expect you to be here all the time!"

The old man ignored him, but sincerely said to Xue Chang: "Can you show it to me?"

"No problem." Xue Chang glanced at Wu Xiancheng, and put the two pieces of jade into the hands of the old man without hesitation.

The old man looked at it cautiously.

Lin Lei, who saw this scene not far away, felt increasingly uneasy. In order to prevent the night from having more dreams, he couldn't help urging: "Master Wu, time is running out, I don't want jade, I just want money. Follow the original agreement!"

Wu Xiancheng was a little displeased, but thinking of the benefits the other party promised to him, he reminded him kindly: "Master Liu Moze is the top sculptor in my Great Zhou Dynasty. He once carved jade for the current emperor and was summoned by the emperor. How can you and I be contemptuous of giving the plaque 'Unparalleled Under Heaven'!"

"Master Wu is right, the plaque bestowed by His Majesty is still hanging on the lintel of Master Liu's jade shop!" Wang Xuan shouted loudly from the side.

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Lin Lei and Mao Jichun travel around the world and are busy with the affairs of the Escort Bureau. They are not interested in elegant things such as calligraphy, painting and utensils. When they first heard this anecdote, they were surprised: I didn't expect this humble old man to have such an identity!
However, Liu Moze seemed to have never heard of the crowd's amazement. He caressed the jade in his hand with all his heart, his face was full of joy, and he couldn't help sighing: "It is said that this suet jade is the essence of the world from the pebbles in the river flowing under the Kunlun Mountains in the Western Regions." There may be only one beautiful jade of this quality among hundreds of thousands of pebbles in the fetal heart that was conceived! The old man only saw a jade that was equal to it when he was carving a jade pendant for His Majesty. I remember that after the dragon pendant was engraved, His Majesty wore it on his body and sighed to me, "It's a pity that there is only this one, otherwise I must make two more phoenix pieces and give them to the queen and concubine to make a good story"... …I didn’t expect to see two high-quality jades today, this is really a blessing from heaven!”

When Wu Xiancheng heard it, his face suddenly showed ecstasy, but he asked cautiously: "There is such a coincidence!?"

Liu Moze glanced at him: "It is a pity to have a dragon but no phoenix! For more than a year, I have been running around just to get a good piece of suet jade, but I have never found anything. If I hadn't listened to If there is jade here, how could I come here today?"

Wu Xiancheng vaguely remembered that there was indeed a rumor in Chengdu official circles that "Liu Moze begged to buy jade" for a while, and finally no longer doubted it, and turned around and said: "The jade in the hands of Chief Xue Shao is enough to pay off the debts owed by the Four Seas Bodyguard Bureau. Chief Bodyguard Lin Hurry up and exchange the IOU in your hand with him!"

What? ! ...Lin Lei subconsciously objected.

Mao Jichun winks at him urgently.

Lin Lei was able to make friends with the magistrate Wang. He was naturally not a mediocre person with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He just thought that the long-term planning and preparation would go to waste, so he was a little unwilling. We would like to ask you to carve these two pieces of jade into a phoenix to present to the emperor!"

Liu Moze kept his eyes on the jade, but he said slowly: "Such a priceless treasure, bought for only 7000 taels of silver, is too depreciating its value! In the future, when the emperor gets the jade pendant, he may know how he got it. You might feel uncomfortable when…”

"Master's words are justified." How can Wu Xiancheng, who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, be a mediocre person? After Liu Moze reminded him, he immediately reacted and asked, "How much does the master think this jade is worth?"

"Jade is priceless, and everyone has their own price. In my heart it is priceless, it depends on how much it is worth in your heart." Liu Moze said leisurely.

Wu Xiancheng thought quickly in his mind, gritted his teeth and said: "Young escort Xue, consider these two jade stones bought by the magistrate and me, one is 1 taels, what do you think?"

Xue Chang did not respond immediately, but instead asked Liu Moze respectfully: "Master, what do you think of the price?"

"I just said that everyone has their own price, you have to ask yourself." Liu Moze said in a flat tone.

Xue Chang turned his head to look at Lin Lei and Mao Jichun who were unwilling, then at the calm-looking Wu Xiancheng, and Yin Bin who was smiling happily. Even Wei Zixiao mouthed "I want more".

Xue Chang quickly made up his mind.He was originally worried that the Four Seas Escort would be questioned for not admitting it, but now he can not only solve it smoothly, but also earn more money, which has exceeded his expectations.For him, the most important thing is to practice martial arts in a stable and stable way. As long as the money can provide protection, it is fine, any more will only bring disaster, so he said: "I agree, Mr. Wu, but the deal must be done now."

"No problem." Wu Xiancheng was also very straightforward, turned around and shouted to his entourage: "Go home immediately and tell Madam, bring 2 taels of silver!"

At this time, Liu Moze stroked his beard lightly, and said softly: "Young escort Xue should be relieved now, can you tell me where these two jade stones come from?"

Xue Chang glanced at Lin Yan and Mao Jichun, who were whispering not far away, and said sincerely: "Master Liu's help, I am very grateful! These two suet jades were given by a friend of mine to help I paid off the debt."
