Chapter 15: The Rich Man's New Business
The group came to the door of the newly opened pawnshop, and the officers and soldiers expelled the people who were watching the excitement on both sides. [No pop-ups. Eight people put down the sedan chair steadily, and someone gently lifted the curtain before Gao Lin came out.
Outside, Zhang Bancheng, Zhang Bancheng's big butler, and many famous people in Fujian all greeted the county guard outside. Zhang Bancheng's face was even more excited, and said: "The county guard can come, Zhang is fortunate to have three lives, and three lives are lucky." β
Gao Lin said a few polite words, and there were a burst of high-sounding words with everyone. Gao Lin failed to increase his literary brilliance in this capital, but he almost honed the skill of speaking. After saying a few words to everyone, everyone secretly picked on the thumb: This new county guard is really powerful, neither high nor blind.
Under the recommendation of everyone, Gao Lin looked at the pawnshop. The faΓ§ade outside the pawnshop is huge, and it looks imposing. There are two stone lions on both sides, and this stone lion oppresses evil wealth, and the pawnshop earns evil money. Gao Lin was somewhat puzzled, and he didn't express it.
"Lord County Guard, my pawnshop, do you still have some momentum?" Zhang Bancheng asked.
"Yes, yes."
Everyone laughed and continued to walk inside. The onlookers were kept out, and a crowd of people shouted in a chaotic manner. They don't do anything else, this pawnshop is going to give red envelopes when it opens. Zhang Bancheng has a lot of money, and he is waiting for Zhang Bancheng's red envelope.
Sure enough, Zhang Bancheng quickly sent someone out to give out red envelopes. Everyone coaxed, and the smile on the face at this moment is the truest smile.
Gao Lin and Zhang Bancheng went inside, accompanied by a bunch of people. Entering this pawnshop, the appearance inside is even more domineering than Gao Lin imagined. A huge room, with two cabinets and three cabinets in several places. There are all kinds of things in the house to gather wealth, Zhang Bancheng specially asked Mr. Feng Shui to calculate and figure out the furnishings in the house. When everyone walked in, there was a burst of joy in their hearts.
"A pawnshop can be opened so big, and the rich man Zhang is really rich." Gao Lin said with a smile.
There were words in these words, and Zhang Bancheng's heart chuckled. It seems that this Gao Lin is not satisfied with himself. There was no change on his face, and he said with a smile: "This is not all the blessing of Lord Tuojunshou, otherwise even if I have great ability, I will not have the right to win such a large land in the Fujian territory." β
This sentence tied Gao Lin and Zhang Bancheng together. The eyes of everyone looking at the two of them changed a little more, and they became more and more complicated.
Another burst of talking and laughing, Gao Lin knows that this half-city old J is cunning, and people have their own handles. I didn't stay long, and I was ready to go to dinner.
"Wait." Zhang Bancheng stopped everyone's pace and said, "In my pawnshop, there is a treasure of the town shop, and today I take advantage of the presence of the county guard, just in time to see the next day." β
Everyone applauded, this treasure of the town store in half the city is definitely a good baby. Gao Lin had no choice but to cater and come out with everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you for your support. Today, my pawnshop is newly opened, and I want to take out some treasures to show you. I won't take the pearl agate, today, I'll show you a good baby. β
These words whetted everyone's appetite, and even Gao Lin became a little interested.
Zhang Bancheng turned around and called someone, and a subordinate took something. To everyone's surprise, it was a small thing, a box about half the size of a palm.
Gao Lin was closest to Zhang Bancheng, and when he saw the box, the cold sweat on his forehead came down. The box is clearly a five-clawed golden dragon, how can this ordinary family have such a thing? If it was given by the emperor, Zhang Bancheng would definitely not be like this now. If it weren't for the emperor's gift, who would dare to use a five-clawed golden dragon like this?
Zhang Bancheng saw that everyone was surprised and quieted down, and he felt a little complacent. Slowly opened the box, and by the daylight, a bright light flashed out.
When the sunlight cleared, the thing was revealed.
"This... This..."
Everyone was amazed that that thing was a piece of jade with a pure texture.
There were connoisseurs present, and even if they were far away, they could see the value of this jade at a glance. The rest of the people who don't understand it, just think about it, and they know that this thing is worth a lot of money.
Seeing the appearance of the jade, Gao Lin was stunned. The whole person was stunned.
That piece of jade is not an ordinary jade, he is too important. I saw it once when I was talking to the emperor, but now, why is it here?
"Rich Master Zhang, where did you get this jade?" Gao Lin asked.
Zhang Bancheng smiled even brighter and said, "This is the treasure of the world, which is the result of my ancestors' years of hard work. It has been a full 180 years in my lifetime. Now that it's open, I'm going to take this out and take a look at it and add some foundation to my business. β
Gao Lin shook his head when he heard this, this half-city is definitely lying. That jade is obviously the current work, how can it be said that it is a hundred and eighty years?
"It's so precious, please take it away."
"Lord Gunshou is here, and my heart has long been in my stomach. No matter how bold this thief is, will he dare to snatch something in front of your eyes? β
As soon as the words fell, a person suddenly appeared in the crowd. Although it is summer, although it is daytime, it is still a night dress. If it weren't for the crowd just now, this dress would have been discovered a long time ago.
The figure rushed over at once, and no one expected such a thing. The subordinate of Zhang Bancheng was a civilian in the end, and he couldn't react, and the man rushed over with a sword.
said that it was too late, and the big one who had been standing beside Gao Lin stood up at once. With a broadsword in his hand, he held one of the man's swords against it.
The officers and soldiers also reacted to this mistake and immediately stepped forward to prepare to surround the man.
The man in black saw that he didn't succeed, and he didn't dwell on it, so he stabbed Gao Lin with a sword. The big man parried with a knife, and the man turned around and walked over with one hand, grabbed the jade in Zhang Bancheng's hand, put it in his arms, and ran away.
It wasn't until Zhang Bancheng's jade was taken away that the man had already gone out a few steps that Zhang Bancheng reacted.
"Catch the thief! Catch the thief! Zhang Bancheng shouted.
Officers and soldiers, family members, rushed forward together. Seeing the chaos here, the common people scattered birds and beasts everywhere, and it was not lively for a while. The man was trapped in the crowd and had difficulty walking. Whoever passes by with the sword in his hand will stab through with a sword, and in an instant, he will kill a bloody path.
The big man chased and intercepted with officers and soldiers, and Zhang Bancheng's family members and thugs were almost useless, so they could only follow stupidly behind to prove that they were helping to catch people.
Zhang Bancheng froze in place, looked at the surrounding group of people with status, and then looked at Gao Lin.
"Joy descends from the sky, joy descends from the sky."
I don't know who found an auspicious word on the side, Zhang Bancheng's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Get out!" β
This pawnshop can't be opened.
