Chapter 455: Taking Yourself Too Seriously, You're Easily Slapped in the Face
Outside the City Lord's Mansion.
Mo Beisang stopped and looked at the vermilion gate with peeling paint in front of him.
To be honest, in all these years in Mo City, he had never really taken a good look at the City Lord's Mansion.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt inexplicably uneasy when he looked at the City Lord's Mansion today.
The old gate was like a bloody mouth that was about to open, ready to swallow itself at any time.
Sun Meilan, standing aside, crossed her arms and clasped them in front of her chest, a hint of sarcasm on her lips:
"Why don't you regret it?
Also, I won’t sign until I see the money. Do you have the money ready?”
Seeing Sun Meilan's shrewd look, Mo Beisang suddenly laughed. He was wondering what he was thinking about just now.
He shook his head. "Why are you in such a hurry? You won't lose any money."
"Of course I'm anxious. Who knows if you'll lie to me?" Sun Meilan shook her head, a hint of indifference in her eyes.
“A man’s mouth is a lie.
There is also a local saying that goes, "If a man is reliable, a sow can climb a tree."
So, do you think I should be more careful? Otherwise, if I get cheated, I won’t even have a place to cry.”
At this point, Sun Meilan laughed frightenedly. "To be on the safe side, I think we should wait until your people bring the money before we go in. After all, filing is quick."
Mo Beisang looked indifferent, "What tricks are you playing on me again?"
He always felt that this woman seemed to have bad intentions.
And she talks too much nonsense, and it always feels like she is stalling for time.
But he didn't believe she would dare to plot against him.
She was just a woman in the harem. He admitted that she was somewhat clever, but this little cleverness was not enough for her to dare to plot against him.
After all, if she dared to plot against me, I would kill her on the spot.
Mo Beisang comforted himself that he was just overthinking it.
Sun Meilan raised her eyebrows and said, "I want money."
These three simple words directly expressed her thoughts.
At this moment, Mo Beisang's other confidant Mo Ming finally came back.
He was holding a small wooden box in his hand, and behind him were a dozen people holding machetes to protect him.
Inexplicably, he exhaled a breath of foul air, steadied his breathing, and raised his head:
"Boss, the money has been retrieved. The 150,000 taels of silver notes are all in here."
After saying that, he opened the box in public, revealing a thick stack of silver bills inside.
Sun Meilan took a look and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go in."
After saying that, he turned around and knocked on the door of the City Lord's Mansion skillfully.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Mo Beisang's eyes. He was really greedy for money.
But a woman like this...
Easy to handle.
Mo Beisang collected his thoughts and walked forward, while Mo Ming followed behind him holding the box of banknotes.
Mo Beisang came in person, but City Lord Han did not go to meet him immediately. Instead, he asked them to wait and he himself dragged his feet for a while before going over.
Upon seeing Mo Beisang, City Lord Han did not hide the hatred in his eyes at all, nor did he look at him in a good manner.
He lazily sat in the seat of honor. "If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of here. Don't waste my time here."
He was almost telling you to get out of here.
Mo Beisang didn't care about City Lord Han's attitude at all, and even laughed.
He shook his head with a mocking look on his face, "It seems that City Lord Han has a lot of opinions about me."
"What do you think?" City Lord Han had a murderous look on his face.
"You had my wife tortured and killed, and now you've kidnapped my son. You're using the same trick to threaten me. Do you think I'll be nice to you?
Mo Beisang, don't be naive. I tell you, the hatred for killing one's wife is irreconcilable."
Having said that, City Lord Han took a deep breath and calmed himself down:
"Mo Beisang, you'd better not touch my son. If anything happens to my son, I tell you, I will never let you go."
"Are you done?" Mo Beisang raised his eyebrows.
"As long as you obey me, I will ensure that your son is safe and you can secure your position as city lord. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
City Lord Han's expression turned extremely ugly.
He said with a gloomy face, "Tell me, what do you want to do here?
Just go away, I don't want to see you!"
City Lord Han immediately made an gesture to see the guest off.
Mo Beisang looked at Sun Meilan nonchalantly. Sun Meilan understood and immediately looked at City Lord Han respectfully and told him the purpose of their visit.
As soon as these words came out, City Lord Han frowned and looked at the two of them with displeasure:
"This is just a small matter. You can go find the chief clerk. There's no need to look for me."
Sun Meilan shook her head. "It's true that I can just find the chief bookkeeper, but the person I'm doing this deal with is not an ordinary person. I'm worried, so I came to ask City Lord Han for help and want him to be a witness."
City Lord Han's face looked very ugly. He wanted to refuse, but Mo Beisang's eyes made him shut his mouth.
He could only reluctantly accept the gift of paper, ink, brush and inkstone.
After Sun Meilan finished writing the IOU and they both signed their names, he wrote his own name in the witness column.
Then he called someone over and took the triplicate IOUs down for record.
But just as City Lord Han's men were about to take the IOU, Sun Meilan retracted her hand. She stared at Mo Beisang with her eyes fixed on him.
“I have written and signed the IOU, but I haven’t received the money yet. Do I need to be paid before I can file the document?
After all, if I don't receive the money after filing, and the IOU becomes effective again, wouldn't I be at a huge loss?"
City Lord Han was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Mo Beisang. He sneered:
"Why don't you just give me the silver? How can you take the Zhang family's property right in front of me without paying a cent?"
Mo Beisang raised his eyebrows, "If you think of me like this, I can't help it."
As he said this, he gestured to Mo Ming to give the box to Sun Meilan.
After Sun Meilan took the box, Mo Beisang said lazily:
"There are 150,000 taels of silver in here. You must count them carefully.
Don’t say later that I, Mo Beisang, cheated you, a woman, and didn’t give you enough money.
I tell you, I, Mo Beisang, never cheat anyone in business."
"Of course I can count money." Sun Meilan chuckled. She put the box on the table beside her, then opened the lid of the box, took out the stack of banknotes, and counted them in front of them.
After counting, Sun Meilan nodded with satisfaction.
At the same time, she looked up at Mo Beisang and said, "The amount is correct, and there is no problem with the banknote."
After saying this, she handed the written IOU to City Lord Han's man and asked him to file it.
At this time, City Lord Han was drinking tea.
"This filing will take some time. If you have nothing to do, you can sit here and wait." City Lord Han put down the teacup in his hand and said:
"If you don't want to wait, you can go. I'll have someone deliver the IOU to you."
Sun Meilan smiled and shook her head. "Holding such a large sum of money in my hand makes me feel a little nervous. How about City Lord Han send a few people to escort me to the bank? I want to deposit the money there to feel at ease. I wonder if City Lord Han is willing to help me with this?"
Seeing that City Lord Han was about to speak, Sun Meilan immediately said, "City Lord Han, please rest assured. I will not mistreat the people who protect me."
City Lord Han frowned, but nodded and called a few people in to escort Sun Meilan away.
During the process of the two singing in unison, Mo Beisang remained silent.
However, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the people who were called in, as he felt that they looked familiar.
Not until the people were far away did Mo Beisang look at City Lord Han and said softly:
"Are you on guard against me?"
"You're asking even though you already know the answer?" City Lord Han said with a mocking look on his face.
"You have a bad record. Do you think I should be on guard against you?
Mo Beisang, I don't believe you will let her take these 150,000 taels of silver so easily."
"If you don't trust me, why did you send someone to protect her?" Mo Beisang said lazily.
"Aren't you afraid that your people will never come back?"
City Lord Han suddenly laughed, his eyes gleaming with a light that Mo Beisang couldn't understand.
Mo Beisang frowned. For some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy, as if things were out of his control.
absurd!
How could he feel this way?
City Lord Han’s son is in his hands, how could he not listen to him?
Unless he doesn't want his son's life anymore.
Looking at Mo Beisang's uncertain face, City Lord Han finally revealed a smug smile:
"Mo Beisang, are you feeling uneasy right now?
You didn't notice a small thing, but you stayed here for a long time?"
Mo Beisang frowned. He had indeed stayed for a long time.
But he quickly hid his expression, raised his head and snorted coldly:
"Uneasy? Do you think that's possible?
Did you stay for a long time? I didn’t think so. I can only say that seeing you jumping up and down amused me and made me forget the time.
Then, with a look of sarcasm on his face, he said, “Also, you are a loser who can’t even protect your own wife and children, and you want to make me feel uneasy?
City Lord Han, just because I call you City Lord, do you really think you are so great? "
At this point, Mo Beisang shook his head, a look of mockery on his face:
"If it weren't for you being useless, do you think you could have lived all these years?
The Lord of Mo City needs useless people, not capable people, understand?"
If you take yourself too seriously, you will easily get slapped in the face.
City Lord Han put away the smile on his face. He stared at Mo Beisang with gloomy eyes and grinned:
"Don't you think those people look familiar?"
Seeing Mo Beisang staring at him doubtfully, City Lord Han said word by word:
"I feel so sorry for them. You sent them undercover here, but I didn't expect you couldn't even remember what they looked like."
Mo Beisang's face changed drastically!
It turned out that he was the undercover agent sent by him. No wonder he always felt that he looked familiar!
By sending out all the undercover agents he left here, City Lord Han wanted to completely break off relations with him.
Mo Beisang narrowed his eyes dangerously!
