The two men took the flame order of the dead elder and asked the fire cult to pay 3000 taels of gold.
"Do you know why the temple needs to pay gold to the general''s house?" the elder endured his anger and asked patiently.
The steward of the Tang family said, "elder, the villain doesn''t know. Lord Tang just gives the villain this token and asks the villain to hand it to the elder. Then he takes home 3000 liang of gold. Other villains don''t know anything."
"Oh, don''t worry about the beauty. The Tang family is a kind family and won''t want women." when the steward said this, the big elder''s pupils would shrink into the tip of a needle, and others would also do it.
The ignorant steward was shocked and quickly hid behind the guard. The strong man with the appearance of the guard took out the horizontal knife and shouted: "how brave! I told Lord Tang the night before yesterday that the beard is unreliable and they should be killed. There is no reason to give their baby away. Now it is the case. Hey hey, you can do it if you have seed. You will be buried with me when I die."
The elder comforted the angry congregation and asked in a deep voice, "guard, what happened the night before yesterday?"
The guard said with a smile, "there were seven thieves who entered the palace and stole. Six were captured alive by the guards of the royal residence. Another one was too badly injured and died. Lord Tang was going to kill them all. As a result, an old man with white beard said he was willing to exchange 3000 liang of gold and 20 beautiful women for a copper plate. If he didn''t change it, the Tang family would never have peace in the future."
Looking at the elder''s thoughtful look, the guard then said, "three thousand taels of gold is not a small amount. Lord Tang said it''s not worth it. He fought hard for a rotten copper plate and Zoroastrianism. So he agreed. The old man had to take the copper plate first and leave his own wooden token as a mortgage. He said he would take the money today. You people are going to default."
"Do you mean those people walked out of the Tang family alive and took the copper plate in their hands?" the elder asked.
"Hey, hey, six alive and one dead. That''s what I did. I can''t bear to look straight at the scene. If I can live, I''ll see a ghost." the guard said coldly.
The elder looked back, nodded and said, "what you said is true?"
The guard smiled grimly and said, "is this still false? Now that we''ve all torn our faces, I have no reason to lie to you. I knew that beard doesn''t count. Lord Tang is too credulous to do it? If you don''t do it, I''ll be rude to you."
Then he raised his horizontal knife and the guard made a gesture to start. Behind the elder, a strong man waved the huge hammer in his hand and hit the guard with a knife on the ground.
The elder stopped the man, went to the guard, squatted down, looked into his eyes and said, "all the people who went to the Tang family died in a boat by the Bahe River. The copper plate was also broken in two. Tell me, do you know who did it?"
The guard was stunned for a moment. He immediately laughed and pointed to the elder and said, "you deserve to die. You deserve your beard."
The kind-hearted elder kicked the guard up as soon as he raised his foot. He didn''t even see his life or death. He told another elder to pay him 30 million gold. Then he walked into the curtain.
The steward quickly picked up the guard and asked, "Wang Shuan, how about standing up? We don''t want gold. We''ll go now."
The guard shook his head hard and helped him up to go out.
A bearded man put two boxes in front of the steward and walked into the back hall. For a time, there were only two of them left in the whole hall.
Wang Shuan looked up and said to the steward, "steward Zhang, you don''t have to take the money. Now your top priority is to hurry home and tell Lord Tang that those people are dead. Someone wants to frame us. Let Lord Tang be careful."
"Go quickly. Leave me alone. I can''t lose the gold. Business matters."
The steward''s face changed greatly. He took out a small wine pot from his arms and stuffed it to Wang Shuan. Then he quickly took off the horse on the carriage, rode on the bareback horse, and ran to Chang''an city.
Seeing that the steward had left, Wang Shuan leaned against the box, opened the wine pot and took a big gulp. The spicy wine immediately pressed down the bloody smell that was about to turn up.
He couldn''t help thinking of Lord Tang''s words: "if the Tang family wants to avoid war this time, it depends on your performance. As long as you can play 30% precision on weekdays, our family can not only have 3000 liang of gold into the account, but also sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."
Now it should be 80% successful.
There is a small room next to the hall. The elder and other elders are there. Through a copper pipe, you can see everything in the hall.
The elder sighed. Things had twists and turns. What the man said may be true.
Only the most senior elders know about the reward of treasures in the church, and the deduction of 3000 liang of gold and beauty just now is a secret that a senior elder can grasp.
Tang Hao is well-known. He has been carefully analyzed by the fire cult. As long as he doesn''t hurt the interests of the general''s house, he won''t take the initiative.
