Chapter 123
All the scholars felt a chill when they heard the words, so they heard Wang Xianyou ask: "The reason why you are unwilling to perform the contract is because you can't afford to lose face."

"Yes." All the scholars nodded.

"So your face is very valuable?" Wang Xian asked again.

"It's okay... Let's put it this way." The scholars already felt that something was wrong.

"How much is it worth?" Wang Xian asked.

"This...why did your lord say that?" Li Yu smiled wryly.

"I'm the most fair person, and I always talk about equal exchange." Wang Xian said slowly: "Since you don't want to lose your face, then you can buy it with money."

"Redemption?" All the scholars were dumbfounded, they really couldn't keep up with Fourth Master Wang's unconstrained style, "How is the redemption method?"

"How much do you think your face is worth, please quote a price," or Shuai Hui understood the adult's heart, and explained from the side: "If our adults think it's appropriate, you can use money to buy the face back."

"This, this is too ridiculous..." The scholars cursed in their hearts, isn't this blackmail!
"Who said that as long as you don't go swimming in the West Lake, you can do anything?" Shuai Hui curled his lips and said, "If you didn't ask for help, my adults would rather watch the fun!"

Li Yuxin said, don't be a jerk, or you will have another moth.He nodded heavily and said, "That's right, how much does your lord want?"

"Didn't you hear what our lord said!" Shuai Hui rolled his eyes and said, "You guys think for yourself how much your face is worth!"

"..." All the scholars are so depressed, thinking that this is not embarrassing?Talk less contemptuous, talk too much heartache, how can people speak?
Wang Xian was not in a hurry, he sipped the West Lake Dragon Well Tea and let them discuss it in his spare time.

"How about ten taels of silver per person?" A scholar suggested in a low voice.

Wang Xian didn't even lift his eyelids, and the rest of the scholars also cast complaining glances at him, Fourth Master Wang clearly made us bleed, you're a beggar!
"50 taels..."

Before Wang Xian raised his eyelids, Shuai Hui, who was standing beside him, sarcastically said, "It turns out that the faces of the gentlemen are worth 50 taels of silver!"

One sentence made the scholars blush, Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, "100 taels of silver per person, is it okay?"

"Okay," Wang Xian finally opened his eyes, and the scholars hadn't breathed a sigh of relief, but they heard him say again: "Xiaohui, give 700 taels of silver to all the gentlemen, and ask them to run naked around Fuyang County."

"This..." Li Yu gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, please make a price."

"That said, it seems like I want money to death." Wang Xian said lightly: "Don't worry, I don't want a tael of silver, and donate it all to the Salesian Bureau and the Nursing Home." He stood up and said: "Everyone Discuss it carefully, if it doesn't work, go back and ask your parents, if you still don't make sense, then you don't have to run to me anymore."

After finishing speaking, Shuai Hui lifted the curtain, and Wang Xian entered the back room.

The scholars looked at each other in blank dismay. If they had known that this guy would be vengeful, they wouldn't provoke him even if they were killed.But it's too late to say anything now, let's think about how to pass this level.

Because Wang Xian only gave one chance to bid, the scholars did not dare to make their own claims, so they hurriedly sent someone to inform the old men.

How can the old men stay in the countryside when such a big incident happened? They have been living in the county town for a while, and they are gathering in the Li family's villa at this moment, so they got the news very quickly.

Hearing what the housekeeper said, the old men couldn't help sighing, what a bunch of nerds!What Wang Siye wants is not their face money at all, but their father's life money!

.

It has been eight days since several members were locked up in the classroom.When the subordinate officials saw the fat sheep, they naturally had to entertain them carefully.They deliberately chained the outsiders next to the urinal in the yard. The chain was tightened so tightly that they couldn't sit down. After a short time of detention, the outsiders became smelly and tired, and couldn't take it anymore.

Li Yuanwai shouted for Li Bantou to come over, and said: "Li Laosan, we are also from the same family, why are you tossing me like this?"

"Don't be a member of the staff and don't know how to be blessed when you are in the blessing," Li Bantou smiled with his big yellow teeth: "If you don't show affection, you old people should be in prison now, not in the prison." In ancient times, the classroom and the prison were not the same For one thing, the prison is a prison where prisoners are formally detained, and the prison is similar to the detention center of later generations, where the government temporarily detains suspects. "When you go into the prison, no matter the reason, you will be rewarded with a killing stick first! The thin skin and tender flesh of a few officers will definitely be too much for them."

"Then, I would like to thank the team leader," Li said in a muffled voice, "help people to the end, we will definitely not escape, let's get rid of this chain."

"Hehe..." Li Lao squinted his eyes and smiled cheaply.A jailer next to him laughed and said, "It's easy for outsiders to want to be comfortable. There are tables and beds in the room, and there are three meals a day, two meals a day, and one meal. If you are not used to eating, you can ask the younger ones to go out and buy them, so that the outsiders can feel at home. .”

"That's a good relationship." Several members were overjoyed: "How can I live in it?"

"It costs 50 taels before you can remove the chain, and then you can enter the house." The jailer said, "It's 20 taels a day for the floor, and 50 taels can go to bed."

"So expensive?" The members of the staff stared wide-eyed: "The most popular Caiyun girl in Little Qinhuai is only five taels of silver for one night!"

"I can't live in love." The jailer rolled his eyes. "If you have the skills, go live in Little Qinhuai."

The outsiders couldn't stand it, they were chained like dogs, so they had no choice but to confess: "Get off our chains first."

"That won't work, what should I do if I run away," the jailer shook his head and said, "Either tie him up in the yard, or go into the house and lock him up."

"..." The outsiders had no choice but to reluctantly enter the room, who knew that this was the beginning of the nightmare.The south of the Yangtze River is humid, and it is impossible to make a bed on the floor. The outsiders barely insisted on staying overnight, and all of them raised their beds the next day.

Do you think 50 taels a day is enough?Big mistake!In this most expensive house in Fuyang County, everything costs money!

Five guans for a bowl of water, ten guans for boiling water, and another five guans for tea.Ten meals per meal, pickled vegetable steamed corn bread and brown rice!If you want to eat well, you can add money!A vegetarian dish is five guan and a meat dish is ten guan!
In addition, fifty quilts for a quilt, ten pcs for a towel, five pcs for a candle, and ten pcs for a toilet...

In addition to necessary consumption, if you feel bored, you can also ask for books, fifty guan for a book, or you can find an actor to listen to an opera, one hundred guan for a time... But how can the outsiders have the spare money for entertainment?The daily necessities of food and lodging alone cost 100 taels of silver per person!
The outsiders have always heard that there are all kinds of darkness in the classroom, and it was only when they lived in that they realized that it was even darker than imagined!What they don't know is that in fact, they are not so dark at ordinary times. It is Wang Siye who has taken care of them, and they are so black.

.

You said that the government is detaining non-officials and receiving hundreds of taels of silver a day, so why release them for the hundreds of taels of scholars?

What's more terrible is the food!Under the strict guard of the government, they couldn't even transport a grain of rice, and instead they were detained seven or eight times.

At the same time, all the counties knew that Fuyang bought rice from Huguang, and the province also went to Huguang to buy rice. The big households threw away grain to save their capital, and the price of grain fell!Now the big households in Fuyang can't even talk about making money, even keeping their capital!
Every day of delay, thousands of taels of silver are lost, and the old men are so distressed that they can't sleep and eat. Now that Wang Xian finally let go, the grandchildren are still in a daze, and the old men are so angry that they cursed "a bunch of nerds", Then let the housekeeper pass the word, 3000 taels per person, if it is not enough, you can add more!But there is no money right now, please accommodate me, and I will definitely pay off the food after I sell it!
"Our face is so valuable?" After hearing the quotations from the old men, the scholars were stunned.Not to mention 3000 taels, even 500 taels, they would rather go to the West Lake for a swim!
"This is the money for reconciliation between the two parties..." the butler explained in a low voice.

Only then did the scholars understand that Li Yu went in and asked Wang Xian to come out, and told him the price and request of his family.

Wang Xian's expression was not so serious and he said: "Yes, let's make an IOU."

The clerk immediately brought a pen and paper, and the scholars wrote an IOU on the spot, "I owe Fuyang Nursing Home and Salesian Bureau three thousand copper coins with a monthly interest of two cents."So-and-so word so-and-so, the seventh day of April in the tenth year of Yongle. '

The two parties signed the deposit and pressed their fingerprints, and Wu Wei was asked to act as a middleman, and the IOUs of 3000 taels of silver were completed.Wang Xian received the seven IOUs in his arms, and then smiled and said, "Which hotel?"

.

An elegant room on the second floor of Zhoujia Hotel.

Wang Xian was seated high on the table, and the scholars were accompanying him. Shopkeeper Zhou asked with a smile, "What kind of wine do you guys drink?"

"I'm happy today, of course I want to drink strong wine." Wang Xian laughed loudly, he was completely different from the cold Ruo Bingshuang when he was in the Yamen, he patted Li Yu beside him and said, "Do you know what is the strongest wine in their house?"

"It should be shochu." Li Yu said with a smile.

"I know how to do it." Wang Xian said with a smile: "His family's old roast is really unique!" He said to shopkeeper Zhou: "One person goes to one altar first!"

"Fourth master, a pot of wine in a small shop is five catties." Shopkeeper Zhou whispered.

"That's it." Wang Xian laughed and said: "I didn't see that today are all scholars, Li Baidou's hundred poems on wine, where are you!"

"How can we compare with Jiuxian..." the scholars said very low-key.

"You look down on brother, don't you?" Wang Xian pulled his face and said, "Didn't you agree not to get drunk or go home!"

"Uh, that's good, drink..." The scholars wiped off their sweat and had no choice but to go all out.

Eight altars of fine wine were served, and after the mud seal was opened, the room was filled with a strong aroma of wine. Wang Xian praised: "Good wine, good wine!"

Then he drank three glasses with all the scholars, then put down the wine glass and said: "It's really boring to just drink, why don't we make a drinking order."

"..." Why did the scholars say these words so familiarly?But how can people not bow their heads under the eaves?He had no choice but to smile dryly and say, "Okay."

"Last time I issued a text command, how about we play a game command this time?" Wang Xian asked with a smile.

How dare all the talents say no, they all nodded and said: "Yes."

So Wang Xian took out three dice and said with a smile: "Let's cast the dice, whoever rolls the highest number will be exempted from drinking, and everyone else will have to drink."
