What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.
Chapter 80: Blatant Robbery of Tao Quan
"Your Highness, there are people outside who want to see you. They say they have something good to sell to you. The leader is called Xiao Jingxuan." In the small courtyard, Tao Quan was practicing swordplay when a man dressed as a guard bowed and reported to him respectfully.
Tao Quan stopped and said, "Xiao Jingxuan? This little bastard finally came to me. I thought he didn't want me as his cousin anymore!"
He threw the sword to the guard and walked out: "What good things can he sell to me? It's good enough that he didn't kill me, what a shameless lazy bastard!"
He strode to the door, opened it, and saw the three people outside. His face instantly changed into a stern and majestic one.
Tao Quan had a cold face, as if he wanted to keep strangers away, and put his hands behind his back: "So it was you two who wanted to see me, could it be that you have grievances to complain about?"
Ye Tang and the other two bowed to him and said, "We are honored to see you, Master Tao."
None of the three had any intention of kneeling.
Tao Quan frowned.
Xiao Jingxuan stepped forward with a smile and said, "Master Tao, I accidentally caught a big tiger. I heard that Master Tao was looking for wild animals, so I sent it to you. Please take a look and see if you like it."
As he spoke, he lifted the white cloth on the ox cart, revealing the big tiger.
Tao Quan's eyes were immediately attracted: "What a handsome beast king!"
He circled the tiger and said, "Its body is warm, it's breathing, it's not dead, and it has no injuries. It's a perfect commodity."
"Did you really catch this specially for me?" Tao Quan's tone was filled with deep emotion.
Jamel Xiao smiled and said, “Yes, does your Excellency like it?”
Tao Quan continued to be moved: "I like it."
The stinky cousin still cared about himself. He was unhappy when he knew he was demoted here, and wanted to find a wild beast to raise for fun. So he sent him such a great big tiger. How thoughtful!
Ye Tang looked at Tao Quan's reaction and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his reaction. Why did he look so moved?
"Since you like it, why don't you buy it?" Xiao Jingxuan stretched out a finger: "Such a rare beast king, only this amount is enough, don't miss the opportunity, sir!"
"Buy?" Tao Quan felt uncomfortable: "Isn't it a gift?"
Xiao Jingxuan: "You are joking, my Lord. How dare I give away such a valuable beast? I must exchange it for some money to make a living."
Tao Quan: “…”
He glanced at Ye Tang and Hong Longfei inconspicuously. You little bastard, are you still going to continue pretending?
"Okay, I want this tiger. Send the tiger to the yard first, and then we can discuss the price in detail." Tao Quan went back to the house first.
A guard came over and led Ye Tang and the other two in a ox cart and entered through the back door. There were steps at the front door, so the ox cart could not enter.
There were a dozen guards with swords in the mansion, and the aura of these people looked very unusual.
Ye Tang felt more and more that Tao Quan must be Prince Xian's man, and he should be more than just a co-governor.
Tao Quan asked someone to bring a large iron cage, put the tiger in it, and untie the ropes on its body.
Then he said to Jamel Xiao: “You can wake it up, let me see its majesty first, and then we can talk about the price.”
Jamel Xiao took out a medicine bottle, dipped a little medicine on a stick, reached into the iron cage, and stayed at the tip of the tiger's nose for a while.
The potion had a pungent smell. Even though Ye Tang and his companions were about ten meters away, they could still smell the odor, which was worse than shit.
The tiger sneezed and suddenly opened his eyes.
It slowly stood up, stared at Jamel Xiao fiercely and violently, growled, and pounced towards Jamel Xiao.
Jamel Xiao stood there without any fear.
boom!
The tiger was trapped in an iron cage.
"Roar!" It glared at Xiao Jingxuan in frustration, wishing it could tear him to pieces.
"You can't bite me, you can't bite me!" Xiao Jingxuan smiled proudly, turned around and twisted his butt towards it.
"Roar!" the tiger roared angrily.
Jamel Xiao looked like he deserved a beating: “I just like seeing your expression of wanting to tear me apart but unable to bite me, hahahaha!!!”
Ye Tang's eyes twitched, and he asked Hong Longfei, who was calm and composed beside him, "Senior, how did you and my husband catch this tiger?"
Hong Longfei crossed his arms and said, "We just caught a pheasant when we entered the mountain, and we encountered this tiger that was out looking for food. It mistook your husband for food and pounced on us. Fortunately, I was quick and caught your husband and flew up a tree."
"The tiger was very unwilling to eat us because it didn't get to eat us, so it wanted to climb up the tree and eat us. Your husband suddenly had an idea and put drugs on the pheasant, broke its neck and threw it in front of the tiger. After the tiger ate the drug, it fainted and fell from the tree."
"When we carried the tiger out of the mountain, your husband gave it some medicine several times."
Jamel Xiao was still teasing the tiger in an annoying way.
The tiger roared angrily and became extremely violent.
But the iron cage was too solid and it couldn't get out.
She could only be teased by Xiao Jingxuan, a two-legged beast, in humiliation.
Tao Quan covered his face: "Childish."
Just as he was about to go forward, he saw Ye Tang rush over, stand beside Xiao Jingxuan, and imitate him in making faces at the tiger.
"Come on! Come on! Come and eat us!" Ye Tang's voice was very cheerful.
The opportunity to tease a tiger is rare and it is really fun.
Tao Quan: “…” Such a good cousin was led astray by Xiao Jingxuan, this little jerk.
Seeing that Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan were having so much fun that they seemed to have forgotten about the price, Tao Quan shouted, "Stop it, both of you."
Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan immediately quieted down and looked at him in confusion.
Tao Quan suppressed his temper and asked: "Are you two here to have fun or to sell tigers?"
Ye Tang said innocently: "We are trying to prove to you that it is a very spirited big guy."
Tao Quan took a deep breath and said, "I have seen that this tiger is indeed very good. Please name your price."
Xiao Jingxuan stretched out a finger.
Tao Quan: "One hundred taels?" He felt touched again. His stinky cousin offered such a low price, which was no different from giving it to him for free. He went through so much trouble just to show off in front of his cousin's wife.
Unexpectedly, Jamel Xiao shook his head.
Tao Quan frowned: "One thousand taels?"
Isn’t this the same price as selling it to outsiders?
Jamel Xiao shook his head again.
Tao Quan's forehead was bulging with veins: "Do you want another ten thousand taels?"
Tricking him!
What if he doesn't understand the market situation?
This damn brother is better off not having him!
Jamel Xiao nodded with a smile: "This is a live tiger, not a dead one, it's worth the price!"
"Such a king of wild beasts, whether you give it to someone else or keep it for yourself, will be very honorable. Your Excellency is so noble and majestic. If you raise this beast, people will surely admire you even more." Ye Tang complimented him readily, but he was muttering in his heart, is it really okay for them to rob Tao Quan so blatantly?
If she fails, should she use Jamel Xiao to block the knife?
Tao Quan took a deep breath, looked at Jamel Xiao, and then looked at Ye Tang: "You two are really brave to offer such a high price! Why don't you just go and rob it! Do I look like someone who can afford 10,000 taels?"
Xiao Jingxuan hung his head and said dejectedly, "You don't look like it. Forget it. I won't sell this tiger to you. I found the wrong person. I'd better sell it to the restaurant and slaughter it to make a delicious dish! Alas! I have no parents and can only rely on myself for everything. I finally got married. I wanted to earn more money to support my wife so that she wouldn't have to work in the fields day and night and live a hard life in the wind and rain. Unexpectedly... Alas!!!"
"Stop talking!" Tao Quan glared at him. "Why are you sighing? I didn't say I won't buy it. Although your price is a bit high, I don't lack money. I just like to spend money to buy something happy. It's only 10,000 taels. I'll buy it, and I'll keep the tiger. You can take the money and get out!"
Just consider it as a wedding present for this little bastard!
He glanced at Ye Tang.
My cousin's wife's clothes were indeed too shabby, and she didn't even have a decent red hairpin on her head. Xiao Jingxuan was such a useless thing that he was too lazy to even take care of his wife.
