Jiumu Continent Chapter 48 Conspiracy
At the request of Yu Canghai, the group came directly to the east market of Ruyun City, which is the commercial area of Ruyun City, where Yu Taiping bought the Yunyan Stone yesterday.
"That stone is useless, it's just beautiful, what are you so concerned about." Yu Taiping asked strangely.
Yu Canghai said: "It's useless to you, but it's useful to me, take me quickly." ”
Yu Taiping led everyone to a shop, which occupies a huge area in the East Market, several stories high, and is an auction house.
Yun Nalan said: "This is the Sun and Moon Auction House. ”
"Well, let's go inside." Yu Canghai couldn't wait to walk in. After entering the door, there was a waiter to entertain him, and when the waiter came to see Yun Nalan, he was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I've seen the eldest lady, I've seen all the distinguished guests." "As the eldest lady of Ruyun City, there are few people in this city who don't know her. And judging by the familiar appearance of this waiter, Yun Nalan should come often.
"Go and call your stewards." Yun Nalan took on the role of a guide and stood up as a guide.
"Wait a minute." The waiter hurriedly ran away.
Yu Canghai looked left and right, this is the hall on the first floor is very delicately decorated, there are many counters in the hall, and there are many items on them, exquisite armor, pills, herbs, ores, and many strange things. It was early in the morning, the shop had just opened, and there were no other customers.
Yun Nalan introduced in Yu Canghai's ear: "Sun and Moon Auction House is the largest auction house in Ruyun City. There was an auction every month, and it was also a pawnshop business, which was only open to the dignitaries of the city. ”
After waiting for a while, I saw a middle-aged fat man with a rich body and bright and neat clothes running over: "I have seen all the distinguished guests, the contemptible person is the steward of the Sun and Moon Auction House, and the hospitality is not good, Wan Wan Haihan."
Yu Canghai waved his hand, directly took out the cloud smoke stone, and said, "Do you still have this thing?" ”
The steward glanced at Yunyanshi and said, "This is a colored stone." There are still some in the treasury of the auction house. ”
Yu Canghai was overjoyed in his heart, and said, "Take me to see it, I need a lot." ”
"The warehouse is messy, and I don't dare to let the distinguished guests go in person. Please go upstairs and wait for a while and have a cup of tea. The shop immediately delivered it to your guests. The steward hurriedly surrendered his hand.
When Yu Canghai heard the boss say this, he nodded, turned to Zi Tianyun and explained: "Brother Tianyun, if you want to buy armor, go by yourself, I will stay here for a long time." You can go back first when you're done shopping, and we'll go to the Zishijia tomorrow to have a look. ”
"Okay." Zi Tianyun answered, and left with his package containing six thousand taels of silver. Yu Canghai followed the steward upstairs, came to a luxuriously decorated room, and sat on a chair and waited. And the steward went down to make arrangements.
"Quick, you guys go and bring me all the colored stones in the storeroom. Packed in a fragrant wood box, hurry. ”
"You go and close the door of the store and don't pick up customers for a while."
"You go and prepare a snack, Yuncha. Hurry up and send it up. ”
went downstairs, and the steward hurriedly called many waiters to do errands.
"The shopkeeper, the boxes are all given away for free, but our incense box is for sale, five thousand taels of silver." A waiter asked curiously.
"Smack." The steward slapped him and scolded: "If you want to go, you will go quickly, where is so much nonsense." Snub the guests, see that I don't pick your skin. ”
When the other waiters saw that they were angry, they dared to talk more, so they hurriedly bowed their heads and went to do things. The steward wiped the sweat from his head and said secretly: A group of fools, didn't you see that the eldest lady personally led the way. In this city, who else can let her do this, except for the thirteen princes who came to Ruyun City yesterday.
As the largest auction house in the city, his news is naturally well-informed, Yu Canghai came to Ruyun City, and the city lord held a dinner, he was naturally clear about such a major event. After waiting for half an hour, the steward personally came up with three attendants, each with a beautifully made wooden box in his hand.
"Distinguished guest. This is all the colored stones in the store, please take a look. The steward opened the wooden box in his hand and saw dozens of clouds and smoke stones neatly placed inside.
As soon as Yu Canghai's spiritual power was swept away, he knew that it was thirty-six pieces. He calculated that it would be far from enough to make a one-zhang-long banner, even if it was four wooden boxes and one piece.
Yu Canghai groaned: "According to the weight of this box, I still need ten more boxes. Can the steward fetch it for me? ”
The fat steward hurriedly bowed down and responded: "Treat your guests, this colored stone is not difficult to find." Please give me an hour. ”
Yu Canghai nodded: "You go." I'm just waiting here. ”
The steward came out of the room, and immediately gathered all the attendants, and commanded, "Ten boxes of colored stones, I will give you an hour." It's okay to buy it, it's okay to grab it. I'll see you here in an hour. Look at the records in the store, who in the city has bought colored stones, and they will buy them back for me at ten times the price. What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and find it for me. ”
The steward told a lie, and there were very few colored stones mined. Although the value is not as good as jade, the color is bright and the tentacles are smooth, which is deeply loved by women. Although the price is not particularly high, it is a rare plaything, and the demand in the city is also in short supply. It's just that for Yu Canghai's requirements, no matter how big the difficulties are, he has to overcome them.
But he said that Zi Tianyun walked around the city for a long time, looked at a lot of armor shops, and finally fell in love with a high-quality, cold-filled stainless steel long knife, he looked at the price, five thousand eight hundred taels of silver. This is the weapon he thinks is the best value for money after looking at many places.
He picked up the long knife and said to the attendant who followed, "I want this knife, can it be cheaper?" ”
The waiter took the long knife and said, "The guest officer is really good eyesight, this knife is made under a sharp weapon, but it is top-notch." Hmm, it's cheaper, I don't dare to call the shots, and when I ask the steward, can I reply to the guest officer? ”
Zi Tianyun nodded in agreement. The waiter had only been away for a while, and then he was led to him by a steward who was obviously dressed at a higher level. The steward arched his hand at Zi Tianyun and said, "Forgive me, guest officer, take the liberty of it." How much money did the guest officer prepare to buy weapons? ”
Zi Tianyun was already optimistic, no matter whether the store was cheap or not, he was ready to buy the long knife, naturally there was nothing to hide, he replied: "I brought six thousand taels of silver." ”
The steward nodded, made a leading gesture to Zi Tianyun, and said, "I have a better long knife, exactly six thousand taels, and I want to recommend it to the guest officer." ”
Zi Tianyun said in his heart: There is such a coincidence. However, he was not worried that the store would bully him, so he said, "Take me to see it." ”
When he followed the steward to the inner hall, he saw a waiter coming with a long box in his hand. The steward took the box, took out a long knife with a dark color and no lustre, and said, "This knife is excellent, and the original price was eight thousand taels." But the appearance is not very good, and it has not been sold, and the guest officer can buy it back for 6,000 taels. ”
Zi Tianyun took the long knife suspiciously, and his hand was extremely heavy, he touched it, and he didn't know what material it was, it felt very rough. He said, "What's so good about this knife." ”
The steward smiled: "It's just that the appearance is not good, and everything else is good." ”
The steward didn't know where to find a two-finger-thick iron rod, made a defensive posture towards Zi Tianyun, and said, "The guest officer will know if you try it, let's cut it." ”
Zi Tianyun didn't say a word, he slashed at the head with a knife, he didn't use much strength, and his speed was not fast. As soon as the steward raised his hand, he easily blocked it. This time neither side used much force, it was purely a quality contest of the weapons themselves.
"When." The gray long knife collided with the iron rod with a soft sound, and then the iron rod was seen to be cut in two from the middle.
Zi Tianyun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the split iron rod and checked it, and found that it was real iron. This shows that this gray long knife is really sharp, and the store did not lie to him.
"I want it." Zi Tianyun handed over the package without hesitation and said, "This is six thousand taels, the store counts." ”
The steward took it casually, didn't look at it, and said, "When I see that the guest officer is a believer, there is no need to check." The small shop boy is not bullied, the quality is guaranteed, and the guest officer is welcome to come again next time. ”
Zi Tianyun was very satisfied, and said, "It must be." ”
Transporting Zitian away, seeing that he was far away, the steward returned to the shop, came to a small room in the deepest part, knocked on the door and walked in. Inside, a middle-aged man dressed in white was sitting on a chair drinking tea when he saw the steward come in. The middle-aged man said, "Is the matter done?" ”
The steward nodded hurriedly and said, "The medium-grade sharp weapon Wuguang Knife was sold to him for six thousand taels." ”
The middle-aged man nodded, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, and handed them over: "This is your reward." ”
The steward hurriedly took it with a smile and said, "It is an honor for the small shop to be able to do things for His Highness." The rest of the work must be done. The normal price of this bare knife is at least 80,000 taels of silver, and he can make a lot of money. ”
"Hmm. I can trust you to do things. The middle-aged man got up and walked out of the room.
The steward sent it off in the back and said respectfully: "At the right time, on the right occasion, let him know who gave this knife and how much it is worth." The villain will never forget this matter in his heart. ”
Zi Tianyun didn't know all this, and he didn't know that someone had been following him when he was looking at the armor. No matter which knife he fell in love with, he would eventually buy this dull knife worth at least eighty thousand taels for six thousand taels of silver. All this is naturally Yu Canghai's arrangement. Zi Tianyun wants to buy a knife, whether he is giving weapons or money openly, it will stab Zi Tianyun's self-esteem as a martial artist.
So he knew that Zi Tianyun had come to Ruyun City to buy weapons, but he didn't say a word, as if he didn't know. But in private, he operates in such a way, and naturally someone will let Zi Tianyun know the value of this knife on the right occasion and at the right time. When it comes to buying people's hearts, this is the best. This is a scheme, it is despicable, and it is also very effective.
In the history books, many heroes who are bright and upright on the surface, but are actually black and ruthless in their hearts, have used this means to convince countless heroes and heroes, so that they are willing to throw their heads and spill their blood and serve for a lifetime.
