Chapter 159 Master? Liar?
"Oh! I wonder how much Master Zhou wants to sell for?" Liu Feiyun knew that he might have really found a treasure today. Seeing Zhou Banxia asking this, he asked back calmly.
"Ten thousand taels of gold can buy my body! One hundred taels of gold may not be able to buy my true heart! It can only buy my false heart! Prince! Are you still willing to buy it?"
"If you, Zhou Banxia, are truly a rare scholar and sage, then I am getting a bargain with only 100,000 taels of gold! But are you really worth this price?"
Unconsciously, Liu Feiyun changed the way he addressed this person back to the original name!
"Haha! Haha! What the prince said does make some sense! But! I will not lower my status. Whether it is worth it or not, the prince has his own conclusion in his heart!"
"Well, Master Zhou, I, Liu Feiyun, will not lie to you! I really can't pay the 100,000 taels of gold right now, not even 10,000, but I can write you an IOU and even add interest to it! Are you willing?"
"Your Highness is so scheming. Don't I want to get something for nothing?"
"That's right! How about this! I have a jade pendant here, which can be called a talisman. It was given to me by a nobleman whose status I don't know in the past. It should be worth a few dollars. Let's use it as a deposit. How do you think?"
As Liu Feiyun spoke, he took off the black crystal amulet that the mysterious guest had given him before he left home to study martial arts in the Miyun Sect!
Liu Shihu, who was standing by, knew a little about the origin of the black crystal amulet, and hurried forward to stop him, saying, "Master! No! This... this jade pendant cannot be given as a gift!"
Liu Feiyun ignored him and handed it over respectfully with both hands. This scene stunned everyone present.
Zhou Banxia took the black crystal amulet indifferently, but suddenly his body trembled slightly, but it was immediately covered up! However, how could Liu Feiyun, who had been staring at him, not notice it?
"This guy seems to really be a connoisseur!" Liu Feiyun's heart moved.
As the saying goes, everything turns to its opposite when it reaches its extreme, and the yang will decline when it is strong. The same is true for crystals. The color of crystals changes depending on the amount of spiritual energy contained in them. But generally speaking, the more abundant the spiritual energy is and the greater the energy density is, the stronger the spiritual energy fluctuations emitted by the crystals will be! However, when the spiritual energy density reaches a certain peak, the spiritual energy fluctuations will gradually weaken until it is difficult to detect. This may be a disguised return to nature.
Zhou Banxia studied it for a while, then gave it back to Liu Feiyun, sighed and said, "Although this broken stone doesn't look very good, in my opinion, it is still worth some money. Never mind! I, Zhou Banxia, have drunk a lot of your Liu family's porridge over the years, which helped me breathe a sigh of relief and save half my life. In this case, I don't want any deposit from you! Just write me an IOU, remember, you must write clearly that the annual interest rate is 10%, the principal is 100,000, that is, 100,000 taels of gold! Don't count it!"
"Well, Master Zhou, wait a moment, I will go and write it myself."
"Okay, okay! Go and write it quickly, don't make me wait too long! Also, don't call me Master Zhou anymore. What a bullshit master. It makes me upset just hearing that. Just call me Zhou Banxia from now on, or Zhou Cripple, or Zhou Banxia... Well, Zhou Banxia sounds better!" Zhou Banxia kept on nagging while watching Liu Feiyun write the IOU.
After Liu Feiyun finished writing the IOU, he solemnly handed it to Zhou Banxia with both hands. Zhou Banxia was not polite either. He took it and read it carefully again and again before putting it away carefully!
Next, Liu Feiyun bought all the refugees in Liu Shantang except for the dozen or so people who were screened out, even the sick, disabled, elderly and weak who had no skills.
The buying and selling of slaves was not just a matter of the buyer giving money to the seller, but the buyer had to pay a large handling fee to the government. Only in this way would the government recognize and protect the slave owner's ownership of the slaves.
After finishing all this, it was already past 2pm, and Liu Feiyun felt extremely hungry. Yesterday, he didn't have breakfast, his lunch was messed up, he got drunk and vomited for a long time, he didn't eat well in the evening, and he didn't have breakfast this morning. How could he not be hungry after all these troubles!
Therefore, after instructing the deacon in charge of Liu Shantang about organizing the return of these purchased refugees to the territory, Liu Feiyun invited Gao Jinda and Zhou Bandxia to go to Zhenhuang Tower again.
"Brother Gao! I'm really happy that I got so many talents today, especially the master Zhou Banxia! I'll pay for today's meal! Don't fight with me for it! Hahahaha!"
"Ah! How can this be possible! Prince, you are giving me no face! Although I, Gao Jinda, am not as rich as you, I can still afford a meal or two!"
"If he wants to pay, then let him! Why are you trying to save money for him? Besides, this Zhenhuang Tower is originally the business of his Liu family. When he pays for the meal, it's just a transfer from his left hand to his right hand!"
Zhou Bankia saw Liu Feiyun and Gao Jinda arguing over who should pay for the meal, and said with some impatience.
After saying that, he was the first to leave Liu Shantang and walked quickly towards Zhenhuang Tower.
"Ah! How come this Zhou Lame left faster than a good person! Prince! Don't you think he is a liar?" Gao Jinda said in surprise.
Liu Feiyun said, "Even if he is a liar, he is an extraordinary liar. Let's go! Let's go! I'm very hungry. As for the meal money, we'll talk about it later!" After saying that, he hurried to catch up.
Fortunately, Anping City is just a border county town and is not very big. It is naturally not far from Liu Shantang to Zhenhuang Tower. Soon everyone arrived near Zhenhuang Tower.
However, after only a short journey, Liu Feiyun began to doubt his previous judgment of Zhou Banxia.
"Hey! Blind Zhou! You're lying again!"
"Blind Zhou! How dare you come out and lie to people! And you even lied to the prince, you are so bold!"
"Prince! Why are you with this damn liar? Is he telling you some nonsense about his one-eyed ability to see through the universe and his divine mouth to tell life and death? Prince! You must not believe him! He is a complete liar!"
"Yes! He got this lame leg because he was found out and beaten for cheating five years ago! I said I hadn't seen him cheating people in the past few years, but it turns out he was hiding in your Liu Shantang!"
"Your Highness, you'd better get this person out as soon as possible!"
Along the way, people who recognized Liu Feiyun and Zhou Banxia came forward to tell their stories, which made Liu Feiyun feel guilty: Could it be that I really made a mistake this time? Was Zhou Banxia really a liar?
