Chapter Seventy-Two: Uncle John
"What are you talking about?" she looked at the outspoken madman in front of her in surprise, but vaguely felt that he didn't seem to be boasting, because he had taken out so many jewels before, and shocked the audience, who knew if he would do something else unexpected.
"Don't you want a rainbow, I can give it to you, but you have to give me some time to prepare, and I will definitely hand it over to you tomorrow during the day. ”
"But I can't get out during the day. ”
"Then I'll go to you, where do you live?"
"Santos Manor, everyone knows here. ”
"Okay. Zheng Fei took a sip of wine with a wicked smile and said, "Look at the beautiful young lady, you not only talked to me, but also told me your address." ”
"Hey, are you lying to me?" she said, annoyed.
"Of course not, don't worry, I will do what I say, and I will go to you tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for your rainbow, just go to the manor and find the maid directly, don't let my father see it. She smiled happily, for some reason, looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow, looking forward to the appearance of surprises?
At this moment, the door opened, and an old man with a long beard wearing glasses walked in, leaning on a dark cane, and glanced around, his already frowning brow even more.
"Gentlemen, look who is coming, our old man John!" said Bagon, who quickly stood up and respectfully said.
"Hello Uncle John!" the crowd was equally respectful.
Zheng Fei turned his head and looked at it, and he could get the respect of the upper echelons, which showed that this person's status was not ordinarily high.
In addition to running a jewelry store, John often helps the royal family and nobles to appraise jewelry, and can be said to be a celebrity in the eyes of the royal family.
In this hall, except for Britney, the daughter of Duke Santos, everyone has to give his Uncle John face.
"What are you asking me to do at such a late hour? I'm not interested in drinking with you. John said with a blank face.
"Uncle, there are some treasures I would like you to estimate. Bagon's smiling face was in stark contrast to his previous swagger.
"I'm not interested in seeing your pile of. ”
"It's something new, and their owner is an Oriental, over there. ”
Following his guidance, John looked up and saw Zheng Fei standing next to Britney, yellow-skinned, the key is that Britney, who has always been cold, actually chatted happily with him.
"What's going on," John asked, curious, and walked over.
Zheng Fei greeted him, and then placed the jewels on the table one by one, making a gesture of please.
The moment he saw something, John's nonchalant expression instantly retracted, replaced by nervousness and caution.
He hurriedly sat down, gently twisted the necklace encrusted with precious stones, straightened it to the top of his head, and then watched the light of the crystal lamp carefully.
Immaculate gemstones, sparkling and pure, without the slightest impurities, are as ingenious as the crown of the King of Portugal.
"Hey," he exclaimed, "young man, where did you get all this stuff?"
"I am from the East, and they were all given to me by the Emperor of the East. Zheng Fei said.
"Baby, what a baby. John muttered, turning the necklace around and suddenly startled.
Engraved on the necklace are two extremely small words, English words.
Soon, he pretended not to see it, put down the necklace, and said, "I want to buy them, what do you think?"
Zheng Fei raised his eyebrows, and was about to offer the price when Ba Gong interjected: "Uncle John, do I want to taste the best tobacco here?"
John had better take this bite and nodded happily.
"Uncle, I took a fancy to these things first, can you give them to me?"
"No, you can't. John decisively put down the pipe that was about to be brought to his mouth.
"Even if it's a personal favor for me"
"I don't need you to owe me a favor, according to the rules, whoever pays the highest price will be whom. ”
Ba Kun rolled his eyes, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "I'll give out 20,000 silver coins." ”
20,000, even in the wealthy city of Lisbon, can buy a large estate.
However, John didn't even blink an eyelid before answering, "I'll give 50,000." ”
"Wow"
People sighed one after another, only knowing that this Uncle John had a high status, but they didn't expect to pay so much gold.
"Hey uncle, why do you bother, you know my financial resources, I will pay 100,000. Bakun narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled.
"Two hundred thousand. John was still so nonchalant that he looked like a student with a hundred dollars in his pocket buying a popsicle.
The price was topped up here, and Bakun had to think carefully.
He took a puff of his cigarette and glanced at John with a frown, a resolute look in his sophisticated eyes.
Since John did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy these pieces of jewelry, it shows that these things are definitely worth the money, and the shrewd old guy like a monkey will not lose his eyes.
After a moment of silence, he continued, "Two hundred and fifty thousand." ”
"Damn it. John rubbed his eyebrows and complained, "I don't want to grind with you anymore, I'll give you a million silver coins!"
There was an uproar in the hall.
"Did I hear me right?"
"A million? Uncle John has so many possessions?"
"I'm afraid not even Mr. Bagon, right?"
"Maybe the old man bought it for the royal family. ”
Hearing this number, Zheng Fei stood next to him and was a little confused, just picking out a few pieces from the treasure chest and selling them for a million?
In order to avoid long nights, he put away his jewels and said to John, "I need to see cash to deliver." ”
John smiled, raised his beard, and said, "I'll go back and get the money now, wait for me for an hour at most, and you can play a chick first." ”
With that, he walked away quickly.
Staring at his back, Zheng Fei bit his lip and watched him disappear outside the gate.
It's definitely not that simple, he thought, and the sixth sense he had developed in the Corps told him that unknown dangers were coming.
He took the jewelry, walked to the side, wrote a note and signed it, ran to the door and said to the guard, "Are you literate?"
"Hey, illiterate, boss. ”
"Send this note to Juan's Bar and give it to a man named Hans, and say that the captain is in danger, and that I will give you a lot of honorarium when it is done. ”
"Good boss!"
After explaining this matter, Zheng Fei noticed that at the corner of the street, there were several men smoking and talking, the ones who had just come in with John.
In this way, his conjecture was confirmed, and he was under surveillance, and he was going to be in big trouble.
Kill those men and rush to the port? A fool would do that, and before they could reach the port, the Portuguese army blocked the road.
He thought about it, would John, who was so prestigious, send someone to snatch the jewels? Unlikely, unless he didn't want that old face and didn't plan to mess around in Lisbon.
