Chapter 167: Don't You Want to Lie to Me!

After a morning of shopping, Wang Wei gained a lot, there are a lot of business opportunities in Xiyang City, which makes him very excited, although he has not been very specific about family business after joining the army, but since he was a child, he still has the ability and vision to do business.

There are still a few walnuts in the salvia that was shipped to Xiyang, which have been transformed into fluttering circulation coupons, this thing is the first time he has come into contact with it, although he has some doubts, but in the end he still accepts it, because he has confidence in Yu Wenwen, the governor of Huangzhou.

Bulk goods trading has always been a headache for businessmen, the two sides either barter, or have to use the car to pull heavy copper coins or cloth, now the circulation of the city of Xiyang, but really help the trader a big favor.

It is very convenient for buyers and sellers to trade, so the buyer's desire to buy is getting higher and higher, and half of the negotiable coupons in Wang Wei's hand have been spent in a blink of an eye.

The remaining half, he planned to carry it with him, and when he returned to Juyang by land and passed through Jingzhou City, he would cash in the Ruixing branch in the city, so that he could save a lot of trouble, and after returning home to arrange all kinds of matters, he would return to the army to serve the country.

Of course, the country is the state of Zhou, Wang Wei's military position is still the governor of the capital, Yu Wenwen has arranged for him to lead the soldiers "anyway" to help defend Shangluo, the storm of the elephant in the past two years is about to subside, and he has passed it safely.

The Zhou State reunified the land of Jiangbei, and then sent troops south to Pingchen, and after unifying the Central Plains, he would concentrate on dealing with the Turks on the steppe, and there were still many opportunities to fight, and he also had the opportunity to make contributions.

I don't know if there is a chance when I am peaceful?

Wang Wei thought so, and as he was walking, he accidentally caught a glimpse of several people standing around the corner of the street in front of him, as if someone was arguing loudly about something, and walked up with curiosity.

Two people were talking in the crowd, one dressed plainly and dark-skinned to look like a fisherman, and the other was well-dressed and ruddy-complexed, looking like a rich man, and the two were arguing over a stone.

"Circulation coupons, two circulation coupons with a face value of one thousand horses, worth two thousand finely woven fabrics, equivalent to at least a thousand pieces of fine woven cloth, you exchange this stone for a lifetime, you can eat for a lifetime, and you don't have to go fishing!"

"Don't try to fool people, take two ghost-drawn notes and want to exchange them for my stones?"

"What kind of note is the ghost drawing, this is a circulation coupon, which shop in Xiyang City doesn't recognize it? You can use it anywhere in the city, you can buy anything, if you don't believe it, I'll take you to the cabinet to exchange it. ”

"What kind of expensive and cheap place, I won't go! What if you take me to some corner and grab a stone! ”

"Whoever robs your stone, the cabinet shop is over there, in broad daylight, what is there to worry about."

"I'm not going, if you want stones, you'll have to bring money!"

Wang Wei looked at it and probably saw the ins and outs of the matter: this fisherman was fishing in the river, and accidentally picked up a strange stone and sold it in Xiyang City to try his luck, but he ran into this middle-aged man who had negotiable coupons but no cash.

The face value of the negotiable coupon is 2,000 pieces of cloth, if the fisherman agrees, then the transaction will be made immediately, with a market value of nearly 1,000 pieces of cloth, it can already make this fisherman worry about the rest of his life, but this illiterate Ding, do not believe that two pieces of paper can be worth so much money.

The middle-aged man has a negotiable coupon and wants to buy it, the fisherman has a stone that he wants to sell but does not believe in the negotiable coupon, and the middle-aged man does not dare to go away for fear of being bought by others, and hopes that the fisherman will go to the cabinet with him to exchange money and silk.

Where the fisherman was unfamiliar with his life was willing to go with him, he was afraid that he would be robbed of stones in a secluded place, and the two were at a stalemate.

"What does this stone look like, and is it worth two thousand pieces of cloth?"

Wang Wei opened his mouth to ask, but before the fisherman could speak, the middle-aged man looked anxious: "This Langjun, there is always a first to come in everything, but I want to buy this stone first!" ”

"What do you say! I didn't say the stone was sold to you! ”

"Don't don't, don't have something to say, I bought this stone, don't worry, I'll go and change money immediately!"

The fisherman looked very afraid of the middle-aged man's entanglement, he looked at Wang Wei with blank eyes and said: "Lang Jun, this strange stone was caught when I was fishing in the river, if you like it, make a price and take it!" ”

"Don't! Other! This Langjun, don't take away people's love, I bought the stone, brother, sell me this stone! ”

The two of them were anxious again, and the onlookers were divided into two sides, each helping the middleman and the fisherman to speak, and some people couldn't help but sigh and said that if they had money, they would buy this strange stone.

Wang Wei looked at the two sides of the dispute, and already had a judgment in his heart: these two people are acting, conspiring to set up a scheme to cheat people out of money, and the few people who talk to them around may also be accomplices of the liar!

His father once told a similar scam: two scammers, one pretending to be an honest friend and selling it on the street with some family heirloom/accidental treasure, and the other scammer pretending to be a buyer who didn't have that much money.

Under normal circumstances, there will be a few accomplices who pretend to be bystanders and keep making noise to attract the attention of passers-by.

Then a rich fool passed by, and saw that the treasure was so sought-after, and that the first buyer did not have enough money, so the opportunity came to his turn, and at the instigation of those bystanders, he hurriedly took out the valuable things on his body and exchanged them for the so-called treasure.

When they came back to their senses, these people were long gone, and the treasure was actually a fake, not worth much.

Old-fashioned tricks, don't try to lie to me!

Thinking of this, Wang Wei couldn't help sneering in his heart, if he had turned around and left directly in the past, but now he is in a good mood, so he is interested in playing with these liars, he wants to see how the other party's acting skills are.

Anyway, he also followed his entourage, and he was not afraid that the other party would be angry and hurt people, if he really dared to do it, he would break a few arms first.

"Is this stone so peculiar? Why don't you take it out and show it to everyone? ”

Wang Wei motioned to separate the middle-aged man from the left and right, and asked the fishermen to take out the so-called strange stone to take a look, thinking in his heart that it was about a stone that was pretending to be beautiful jade or dog's head gold, but when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help but rub his eyes.

A stone the size of two palms, dark brown all over, because of the long-term washing by the water, the whole stone is smooth and round like a flat goose egg, the middle of the stone, the stripes actually form a seal "heart" character.

Of course, it can't be as neat as people write,

Wang Wei looked at the stone carefully and asked tentatively, "Can you wash it with water?" ”

"Wash... Where is there a basin and water to wash it? ”

This is reasonable, if the other party even has prepared a plate for washing stones, then it can no longer be fake, Wang Wei became curious, and brought the bamboo kettle brought by his entourage: "Brother, can you let me wash this stone?" ”

He suspected that the lines on the stone were dyed with dye, and the fisherman hesitated for a moment, and then carefully handed the stone to Wang Wei, ignoring the cries of the middle-aged man.

Wang Wei squatted down, holding the stone in one hand, holding the bamboo kettle in the other hand to pour water, after wetting the stone, gently rubbing it with his hands, he didn't see any color that made the water turbid, he gently rubbed the lines on the stone with his index finger, trying to feel whether there were traces of carving.

The fisherman looked at Wang Wei nervously, for fear that the other party would snatch the stone, and the middle-aged man saw this and said, "I'll go to exchange cloth, 2,500 horses, don't sell this stone", turned around and ran out.

I don't know how long it took to rub it, Wang Wei was shocked to find that there were no traces of carving on the lines on this stone, and he looked carefully and looked at it, but he couldn't see that this stone was dyed by people to have the "heart" character pattern.

Natural, not human can carve, strange stone, really strange stone!

"This is my stone!"

As soon as his hand was loosened, it was the fisherman who snatched the stone back into his arms and looked at Wang Wei with vigilance.

Wang Wei only felt that his heart was very excited, he had such an adventure when he came out to go shopping, this stone fished up from the river, its lines formed a "heart" word, it was simply a ghostly workmanship, such a treasure, it could not be missed.

"I bought this stone!"

"You... How much do you pay? ”

"Dude, I didn't bring any cash, only a negotiable ticket."

"I don't want that broken note!"

Or the problem that the middle-aged man encountered just now, the other party didn't believe in the circulation coupons, Wang Wei pondered that if he took the fishermen to the cabinet shop, he was afraid that he would be entangled by the middle-aged man on the way, so...

"Brother, I have more than ten taels of scattered gold, and ten gold hairpins, do you sell this stone?" (To be continued.) )
