[Chapter 892 Chapter 903 Taking the bait (First update please subscribe)]
At this time, Zhou Ziqiong was very angry.
“Shopkeeper Hu, you know very well whether he was sent by you, don’t pretend to be innocent here!”
But shopkeeper Hu didn’t care: “Ms. Zhou, you can’t say this casually, you need evidence! “
Hmph! If Shopkeeper Hu insists on doing this, don’t blame me for not paying even a tael of money!”
Zhou Ziqiong said coldly, holding her waist with both hands.
“Haha, Miss Zhou is also a smart person, why are you confused now?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Ziqiong discovered that at some point, the owner of Qujiabu Village also came here!
It was only then that she finally realized that this was a conspiracy!
Ever since Qujia Cloth Village started selling cotton-padded clothes, the Zhou family had fallen into the big net they had woven, and now, they were preparing to close the net!
At this time, the owner of Quzhuang laughed and said: “Everyone downstairs heard the rules of guessing lantern riddles just now. If Miss Zhou doesn’t pay for it then, what will the people of Ruzhou City think of Zhoujia Cloth Workshop, and Miss Zhou We need to talk to the government about it! Don’t you think so, Magistrate Liu?”
Magistrate Liu nodded and said, “Miss Zhou, you can be regarded as an honest businessman in our city of Ruzhou. Since you have told Shopkeeper Hu about this in advance, After discussing it, we must be willing to admit defeat! Shopkeeper Hu paid the same money as you and didn’t say anything?
You are still too young. You should learn more from Shopkeeper Hu, but I have to say ugly things to you first! , If Miss Zhou really wants to default on the debt, the prefect will seal down your Zhou family cloth shop!”
“…”
After hearing this, Zhou Ziqiong was angry and desperate.
Qujia Buzhuang, Juxian Tower and the prefect of Ruzhou are colluding together and colluding together. How can she survive?
“Shopkeeper Hu, if you are like this, don’t blame me! I can also do these lantern riddles. I will go down and guess them all!”
“Haha, I’m afraid not.”
“Why not?”
“In order to prevent cheating, merchants and merchants None of the family members participate in the lantern riddles for any reason,”
Shopkeeper Hu said with a smile.
“When… was this a rule?”
“Does this rule still need to be established? Everyone knows this, right? Otherwise, wouldn’t I just go down in advance and guess all the lantern riddles? As a business, we have to be honest!”
Shopkeeper Hu was stroking his beard, and the old god was talking.
“You? Integrity?”
Zhou Ziqiong sneered, “Then just wait, I’ll go now -“
“Okay, now everyone can no longer guess the lantern riddles. Let this young man finish guessing first!
” At that moment, the voice of the bald waiter sounded downstairs. Zhou Ziqiong looked for the sound and found that the person pointed by the bald waiter was Zhang Xiaoyu’s husband…
Without further words, he went downstairs to see what happened.
“Shopkeeper Hu, you are so careless! Why don’t you find someone smarter? The waiter just took out the paper and peeked at it. Even I thought it was fake!”
After Zhou Ziqiong left, Master Qu said.
“Haha, I did it on purpose!”
Shopkeeper Hu sneered, “Don’t Master Qu think that it would be more exciting to let Zhou Ziqiong know that we are going to build the Zhou family cloth shop, but she can’t do anything about it? And in this way, the prince will also It would be better to help her, right?”
“Shopkeeper Hu is still awesome!”
Village Master Qu said with a smile.
At this time, Magistrate Liu waved his hand and pointed downstairs, his expression looking particularly excited.
“Haha, that kid took the bait!”
“…”
…
After Zhou Ziqiong went upstairs, Jing Zhe watched the man in cotton-padded clothes answer four lantern riddles in a row, and immediately felt a little itchy.
“That’s it?”
“Have you been thinking for too long?”
“Give me so long, I can guess it!”
“…”
Then, Jing Zhe started the crazy complaining mode.
When the people around him heard this, they probably felt the same way, and they echoed his words with a “I can do whatever I want” attitude.
“Young Master, do you think you don’t have enough time?”
The bald waiter squeezed over at some point and looked at Jing Zhe with a flattering look on his face: “Sir, if you were given enough time, could you guess all these lantern riddles?”
“Of course that’s the case. !”
Jing Zhe patted his chest, “In our hometown, I have the nickname of being a good at guessing lantern riddles. Do you think it’s okay?”
“Okay, it’s really good!”
The bald waiter boasted and whispered: “Sir, if you can really guess it, I can give you more time to think. How about you guess all these lantern riddles?”
“Okay -“
Jing Zhe stared at him before he could finish his sentence. The bald waiter said with a suspicious look on his face: “Why are you so nice to me all of a sudden? Are you uneasy and kind?”
Isn’t that stupid!
The bald waiter sneered in his heart, looked around a few times, and seemed to feel uneasy. He pulled Jing Zhe aside, and then said carefully: “Young master is really smart, so I won’t hide it anymore! Just guess a lantern riddle correctly and you can Isn’t it a great thing to get fifty taels of silver? If the young master can guess all the nearly two hundred lantern riddles and get five thousand taels of silver, wouldn’t he not have to worry about it in his life?”
Jing Zhe nodded frequently after hearing this.
“Yes, yes, if I guess everything correctly, I can get ten thousand taels of silver for nothing!”
Looking at Jing Zhe, whose eyes were shining, the bald waiter laughed secretly.
“It’s such a good thing, I want to guess too! It’s a pity that firstly, I’m not as talented as the young master, so even if I guess, I can’t guess right, and secondly, our Juxian Tower rules prohibit the clerk from participating.”
The bald waiter shook his head, He sighed: “So I am willing to give you some time. You can just guess, but if you guess correctly, you will give me five hundred taels!”
“It’s a joke!”
Jing Zhe said nonchalantly: “I have more than ten thousand taels of silver. Come on, take out a mere five hundred taels, no problem!”
“Okay, deal!”
Then, the two returned to the crowd, and the scene that Zhou Ziqiong and others saw just happened.
“Okay, now everyone in the audience can’t guess the lantern riddles anymore. Let this young man finish guessing first!”
said the bald waiter with a big wave of his hand.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. Everyone looked at Jing Zhe with different expressions, but most of them were sympathetic.
Everyone is not stupid. They know that there are nearly 200 lantern riddles in the audience. Let alone guessing them all, just look at Jing Zhe’s constipation-like behavior when he guessed the first lantern riddle. He might not be able to guess any of them. Not even there! At that time, not only will you not make a penny, but you will also lose more than two hundred taels of silver!
This silly boy seems to have been tricked!
Everyone shook their heads and thought, but at this time, the man in cotton clothes expressed dissatisfaction: “No! How can he guess them all by himself? I have to continue guessing!”
After saying that, he no longer cares about others and is about to reach out to take down the lantern. The note below.
“Stop!”
Jing Zhe and the bald waiter shouted at the same time, and then the bald waiter pushed the man in cotton-padded clothes aside to prevent him from taking it apart.
