The prince's summons made the Duke appear obviously flustered, but the sneer under this panic was not noticed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Finally, when the prince spoke, he could take things out naturally. This is what the Duke thinks at the moment.

The duke, who had been in the officialdom for many years and was accustomed to seeing the cunning of people's hearts, was very good at hiding his emotions, and he reluctantly took the cloth bag in Matthew's hand, and slowly moved towards the prince step by step under the anxious eyes of everyone.

In the bag, in addition to a few American ginseng trees, there is also a fine-grade mink skin, plus a small pile of yellow gold grains.

The snow-white mink immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding women, who carried the hem of the long skirt and didn't care about the image of a lady, jumped over on tiptoe, stretched their necks to watch, marveled at the color of the mink, and talked softly.

The prince, on the other hand, directly pinched a ginseng and looked at it carefully over and over again.

He wanted to show that he was well-informed in front of everyone.

The appearance of ginseng made those big businessmen from West Asia or Eastern Europe quite interested around, holding an agate ball in their hands, or only a shallow bottom goblet.

As for the other unruly merchants and petty nobles, they could only watch from afar, and a few of them were anxious to step on their stools and look around, and their behavior that was detrimental to the gentleman's demeanor made people sneer.

Is this the legendary ginseng? The prince pinched the ginseng and observed it for a long time, but he didn't see anything unusual, so he lost interest.

Thinking that he was the protagonist of the banquet and couldn't be robbed of the limelight by this thing, he smiled slyly.

"Fake. ”

The faint sentence made the hearts of the giant businessmen who were anxiously waiting for the results tense and disappointed.

Originally, they wanted to buy this ginseng with a lot of money, and when they decided to settle in a certain country in Europe, as a treasure for the royal family, they would have a good relationship with that group of high-ranking people, so that they could develop in the future.

And now, the Romanian prince turned out to say that it was a fake!

Hearing this answer, the Duke couldn't help but glance at Zheng Fei, and then looked at Piero.

Piero nodded, took off his glasses and twisted his eyebrows.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, as far as I can see, this ginseng seems to be real. ”

There was no nervousness or fear in Piero's expression, because he knew that the prince would not do anything excessive, after all, this was Venice, Italy, not Romania.

The people respected the prince purely to give him face, and if this guy dared to despise Italy, the bull warriors next to him would definitely beat him upside down.

"Yes, who are you?" the prince glanced lazily at him, then drooped again, full of disdain.

"My name is Piero and I'm from Florence. Piero reached out in a friendly manner, his waist slightly bent.

"Haven't heard of it. ”

The prince dropped the ginseng with a blank face, picked up the wine glass and took a sip to relieve the panic in his heart.

He felt that his authority was being challenged, and although it was true that he had never heard of the name Piero, judging by Piero's indifferent expression and the respectful attitude with which he was treated, he must have been an unusual person.

The point is...... His so-called authority is pretended, but in fact he doesn't understand it.

"I support His Royal Highness's opinion that this ginseng is indeed a fake. ”

The Duke grinned, picked up the ginseng on the table, stuffed it back into the cloth bag, and anyone could see that there was cunning in his eyes.

"Abraham, are you afraid that others will rob you?"

Piero stared at him with a sneer, then opened his arms to introduce himself.

"You friends from other countries may not know me, I am a notary public in Florence, and I am also a little famous in Italy, and I have seen the ginseng collected by the Italian royal family with my own eyes. ”

As soon as the words fell, people responded one after another.

Disappointment, before it could completely fade from the eyes of the giants, was replaced by the hope that emerged, and they rubbed the agate balls with interest, quietly waiting for the situation to turn around.

The prince had the feeling that he could not get off the stage, his face was not very good-looking, and his nails were scratching restlessly on the table. If he were in Romania, he could have ordered Piero's execution immediately!

Judging from the current situation, this person who dares to confront himself has a certain prestige in Italy, and he is under the roof and cannot easily move.

The prince's fingernails tugged at the table, thinking about how to end it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he came up with an idea and set his eyes on Zheng Fei.

What are you doing?" Zheng Fei asked in his heart.

"I think that about the authenticity of ginseng, this wealthy businessman from the East has more right to speak!"

The prince stood up and smiled at the crowd, drawing all their attention to Zheng Fei.

"Oh, it's the circus owner. ”

"The circus just now...... It's amazing!"

After being struck by the strong physical fitness of the natives, people developed a deep respect for the brown bear hunter and Zheng Fei, and coupled with Zheng Fei's oriental appearance, they believed that Zheng Fei had the most say in the authenticity of ginseng, even more credible than Piero.

At least in the eyes of the Western tycoons who didn't know Piero.

At the moment when the prince called him, Zheng Fei wanted to laugh, but he had to endure it.

How can we describe the current situation? Attracting wolves into the house seems inappropriate and embarrassing.

After receiving the prince's permission, the duke embarrassedly took out the ginseng and handed it to Zheng Fei, without a trace of emotion, as if they had never conspired about it.

Zheng Fei pretended to twist the ginseng, picked it up like a jewel and pointed it to the sun, and then leaned to the tip of his nose and sniffed it.

"The condition is excellent, at least a few hundred years old, even in the East, only the dignitaries can enjoy it. ”

Hearing this, the prince's face sank, and the pestle was extremely embarrassed in place.

Even the Knights of Blades from Romania who were standing guard nearby were embarrassed with him, hanging their heads in embarrassment and not speaking.

, tell you to pretend again!, they complained secretly.

The duke always paid attention to the prince's embarrassing reaction, and did not want to offend the prince in order to get rich benefits, so he started a round at the right time.

"Hey, everyone, don't forget that today is His Royal Highness the Prince's birthday party, let's toast the prince together!"

With that, he raised his glass first.

"Don't digress Abraham, where did you get your ginseng?

Piero was unrelenting.

Da Vinci had never seen his father like this, and his mouth opened wide in surprise, with half a mouthful of beef still in his mouth.

Obviously, the merchants were more interested in the topic than in toasting, and looked at the Duke with an aggressive look in their eyes.

"Say it, in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, everyone will compete fairly, and whoever pays the highest price will belong to whom. "Zheng Feishen mends the knife.

The Duke glared at Piero with hatred and exhaled reluctantly. (To be continued.) )
