The most powerful patriarch in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 52 Don't eat toast, eat fine wine
Mu Sheng took out four clean porcelain bowls and poured four bowls of water in front of the four of them.

Just when everyone thought they could drink water, Mu Sheng smiled ghostly, raised his head, coughed dryly, and lowered his head to spit a mouthful of phlegm into the bowl.

Repeat the above action, and soon there will be phlegm in the four bowls filled with water.

"Thirsty, come, the thirst-quenching water that my uncle specially prepared for you," Shui Sheng said gloatingly.

Zhang Laocai, Xu Qianmu and the others stared straight at them. When they came back to their senses, they almost vomited.

It's disgusting, how do you drink this?
"Man, this water has your phlegm, how do you drink it?" Chen Wanwan said with a sullen expression.

Mu Sheng sneered and said: "Chen Wanwan, what you said is wrong. I heard that two years ago, someone begged in front of your door, and you poured the porridge into your dog bowl in public. They refused to eat it, and you And let the servants force him to eat, why, do you still dislike a little saliva?"

Chen Wanwan was speechless.

I can't refute it, it's true, I just want to tease the beggar for fun.

"You too." Mu Sheng pointed to the other three people and said, "Buy and sell by force. In the fish and meat town, force people to sell their fields, land, children and daughters. How dare you say that you haven't done it."

Zhang Laocai, Chen Wanwan, and Xu Qianmu lowered their heads, not daring to refute.

It's useless to use any tricks, and if you don't have a hard heart, how can you earn such a big family fortune?
Besides, there is no point in arguing with these robbers, winning may not necessarily be beneficial,

If you lose, let him insult you,
I really made him anxious, and I was the one who was injured.

Mr. Wen said flatteringly: "My man, I'm not from Fujian. I just came here to visit my relatives. I haven't done anything harmful."

Mu Sheng kicked the stool next to him to the ground, and said with a cold face: "Fan's firm is really nothing. Three years ago, my brother was injured and I went to the Dayuchuan Herbal Medicine Store to buy Jinchuang medicine. The people from the Herbal Medicine Store actually secretly Report to the officer that you killed my brother, this account has not yet been settled.”

Mr. Wen kept silent and couldn't talk today.

The four people in the prison were so thirsty that their throats were about to smoke. There were four bowls of water in front of them, and they could reach them, but no one took them.

It was so disgusting I couldn't drink it.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mr. Wen suddenly said, "My good man, how can I sell a bowl of clean water? I don't have any money with me. Can I write an IOU? It will be paid together with the ransom."

At this point, there is no need to wrong yourself, anyway, Fan's firm is not short of money.

When I go out by myself, I must use all my strength to catch these robbers, and then fry them to pieces,

What you eat, you spit it back in double.

"You can write an IOU, the same price, 30 taels of silver for a bowl." Mu Sheng said with a smile.

"Take a pen and paper, and I'll write," Mr. Wen said bluntly.

After getting the pen and paper, Mr. Wen wrote an IOU of 30 taels of silver without hesitation, and successfully exchanged for a bowl of clean water.

Chen Wanwan and Xu Qianmu also had a sore throat from thirst. Seeing Fang Wen drinking so well, they became even thirstier.

In less than a stick of incense, I wrote IOUs in exchange for water.

Only Zhang Laocai was unmoved. After an hour, he finally couldn't help it.

He gritted his teeth, picked up a bowl of unclean water, and drank it with his eyes closed.

30 taels of silver can cover a few acres of good paddy fields, so you can't waste it like this.
Forbearance is equivalent to saving a few acres of paddy fields, it's worth it!
Three bowls of water were actually sold for 60 taels of silver, although it was just an IOU,
Mu Sheng still tried his best to think of a way, and soon launched a luxurious menu for lunch and dinner:

A piece of Hubing, 30 taels,
A bowl of wine, 50 taels,

A meat bun, 40 taels,

A bowl of rice, 35 taels,

A large chicken drumstick, 60 taels
It’s okay if you don’t pay the money, just eat Musheng who spit, and “accidentally” fell to the ground, and then picked up the gruel water,

Inspired by Lu Changle, Mu Sheng's IQ exploded, and he tried every means to make money from the four participants.

We are honest, as much as we say,
It is completely free to eat or not.

After a lunch, Mu Sheng had another 200 taels of silver in his hand.

Ordinary people can't earn money in their whole life, they only get a few cakes, a chicken leg and a bowl of rice.

It's just that Mu Sheng was a little unhappy, mainly because Zhang Laocai, who picked up the retting goods, resisted not consuming,

In his words, you can’t die from starvation for a few days, but if you grit your teeth and bear it, it’s just a few acres of paddy fields.

At dinner, Mu Sheng sold a bowl of water, a bowl of wine, three mustard cakes, a bowl of broth, and a bowl of rice, and there was an IOU of 230 taels in his arms.
It's just that Mu Sheng's face was a little gloomy, and he couldn't be happy.

That miser, Zhang Laocai, would rather pick up dirty rice one by one and eat it instead of writing an IOU.
Fang Wen, who seemed to be the poorest, wrote 120 taels of IOUs in one day.

At night, Zhang Laocai, who was so hungry that his stomach was rumbling, tied his belt tighter, and was tired on the floor, ready to sleep.

The robber with clown makeup costs 50 taels for a straw mat, so why not grab it?
Only idiots like Fang Wen and Chen Wanwan would be willing to buy it.

Thinking that he saved at least dozens of taels today, Zhang Laocai felt less hungry again.

This amount of money is enough to buy a few beautiful maidservants or several acres of fine paddy fields.

Just when Zhang Laocai wanted to sleep, footsteps suddenly came from outside.

Damn it, the robber with clown makeup came again, and brought a man with martial arts makeup on his face and a sloppy body.

Mu Sheng said with a smile: "Four, it's a long night, how about playing a little game?"

No one made a sound, and the four people in the prison stared at Mu Sheng vigilantly.

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, even if I disagree, I dare not speak out against it.

"Very good, no objection, let's start." Mu Sheng nodded in satisfaction, pointed to Zhang Laocai and said, "You, come out and give me a hand, and I will reward you with delicious food later."

Zhang Laocai's eyes lit up, he really wanted to do whatever he wanted, so he quickly stood up and agreed.

"Hero, what should I do?" Zhang Laocai said flatteringly.

In order to eat without spending money, Zhang Laocai also went all out.

"It's very simple, as long as you cooperate well, come on, put one hand here, yes, put the other hand here, that's it, don't move"

While commanding, Mu Sheng took out the rope and tied Zhang Laocai's hands to the two pillars.

"Hero, you, what are you doing? Why are you tying up the little one?" Zhang Laocai said with a panicked expression on his face.

Didn't you find an assistant? Why did you tie yourself up?

Mu Sheng took out wild flowers from his sleeve that he picked casually on the side of the road as if conjuring, and stuck them on Zhang Laocai's head while smiling and said: "It's nothing, I'm just afraid that you will be too painful to move around for a while, tie it up first, good boy, Don't move, I'll help you dress up."

Soon, two flowers were inserted on Zhang Laocai's head, and the red flowers looked very strange when matched with his white hair.

"Man, man, what are you doing? I'm a man, why are you wearing flowers on my head?" Zhang Laocai asked in a panic.

I always feel that this is very weird, and the more I think about it, the more wrong it becomes.

Mu Sheng said with a smile: "You also know that for the sake of you four meat tickets, brothers ran to this place where the birds don't shit. It's so boring. I wear flowers for you, just to let you pretend to be a rabbit, and let my brothers Lele, he likes to play Mr. Rabbit."

What?Let yourself be a rabbit husband?
Before Zhang Laocai came back to his senses, the strong man came over, pinched Zhang Laocai's fat face with a smile, and slapped his fat buttocks: "Take off your pants and lie down, with your butt facing west"

With a sound of "hissing", feeling the coldness of the buttocks, the silk pants were torn open by the strong man.

Zhang Laocai was so frightened that his face turned green on the spot, and he yelled like crazy: "Give me money, give me money, good man, IOU, I want to write an IOU, wow, I don't want to be a rabbit man!"

Called to the back, weeping.

It's too shameless, it's too scary, isn't it reluctant to spend money, and you have to catch yourself as a rabbit husband,
It's almost fifty, if you are someone else's husband, will you still have face when you return to Changle County?
Chen Wanwan, Xu Qianmu, and Fang Wen, who didn't talk much, were just watching.

"Zhang Laocai, I know you love money, don't force it, just bear with it for an hour or two." Mu Sheng persuaded with a smile.

"Don't force it, don't force it, good man, 20 taels of silver, no, 200 taels of silver is okay?" Zhang Laocai blushed with anxiety.

"Enough, enough." Mu Sheng untied the rope with a smile, and offered the pen and ink again.

Toast people, do not drink and drink fine wine.

When Mu Sheng looked into the prison,

"Hero, give me the pen, I'll write an IOU, and I'll treat it as a filial piety"

"Give me the pen and write"

"I also write"

Chen Wanwan, Fang Wen, and Xu Qianmu's complexions changed suddenly, and they were scrambling to write the IOU.

　Hey, newcomers and new books, at the top of the ranking stage,
　　Ladies and gentlemen, move your little hands that make money, and support
