Chapter Twenty-Three: Du He's Hands Are Itchy

The appearance of the person who came made Du He look sideways, it was a roshan that was stronger than Cheng Jade, I saw that the big fat man was nearly one meter eight tall, a little taller than him, there was almost no neck between his round face and shoulders, his skin was dark, his face had a slight beard, a pair of black eyes were like mouse eyes, and the little one was turning around, with an indescribable thief appearance; Wearing a gorgeous bearskin coat. It's not an exaggeration to call this a "big" coat, wrapping his one-meter-eight figure from head to toe. According to preliminary estimates, the coat is at least thirty or forty pounds.

Although the clothes were big, they were still tightly supported by the fat body, as if they would crack at any time, like a big bear.

Du He has been in the Tang Dynasty for three years, and in these three years, he finally met a character who can be compared with the Goguryeo Jin Yuedong, looking at his body weight, I am afraid that it is no less than 400 catties, compared to the Goguryeo man who made himself miserable, it is only heavy, not light, and it is completely in the shape of a giant. Staring at his chubby face, which was three points bigger than a flatbread, he felt déjà vu, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The Big Mac swayed left and right, walking forward with small steps, it seemed that for him, walking was a very tiring thing, but at the moment there was a satisfied and excited light on his face, as if he had been hit by a pie in the sky and made a fortune.

His hair was incredibly black and shiny, as if it had been oiled or dyed once, so bright that it could make the eyes of those who looked at it glow.

Seeing Du He looking at him "dumbfounded", the Big Mac raised his head and snorted contemptuously from his nose.

This hum contains extremely complex emotions. It both reflects the impudence of the humble people who look at his disrespectful behavior in such a way, and the displeasure that he brings to the noble one; It also reflects the great satisfaction and self-satisfaction that cannot be achieved on a high level.

Hearing the master's snort, Du He came back to his senses and smacked his tongue secretly, like a big bear with his head up.

As for the contemptuous look, he smiled, he really didn't bother to bother with this kind of person.

The big dog bear laughed and walked straight to the shopping counter in the middle: "Shopkeeper Li, then the night pearl I look at has packed it for me, I want it!" How much is it, make a price! "He's got a lot of money, he's a big dealer, and he's a man who treats money like dung.

Shopkeeper Li didn't dare to slack off, and said respectfully: "Xu Dongjia, this is not a small one that will not be sold to you, but the contract is written in black and white, written clearly, redeemed in a month, and it has not expired yet!" ”

Du He also glanced at Roshan back, and also faintly realized, and smiled: Xu Dongjia, his surname is Xu, he looks a little like Xu Shi, he should be a member of the Xu family, no wonder he is so arrogant.

The economic characteristics of China's feudal dynasties have always been that "agriculture is emphasized and commerce is suppressed", and the proportion of commerce in the national economy is quite low. In addition, there is the tradition of "Shinong Industry and Commerce", and the status of merchants is several grades lower than that of farmers. However, the Tang Dynasty was a very enlightened dynasty, a rare feudal dynasty in Chinese history that did not discriminate against commerce, not only did not discriminate against merchants, but also provided many convenient conditions for commercial development, which further reflected Li Shimin's vision far ahead. Under Li Shimin's advocacy, the commercial economy of the Zhenguan Dynasty made rapid and considerable progress, and new commercial cities sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. At that time, more than half of the world's famous commercial cities were concentrated in China.

But everything has two faces, and the status of this businessman has been improved, and while promoting economic development, it is inevitable that some domineering businessmen will rely on their own money to be arrogant and rampant.

This Xu Dongjia is a very typical example, because he has a strong family background and raises a group of thugs, anyone who sees him will be afraid of three points, so he has also developed an attitude of no one in his eyes.

Du He ignored it, but he inevitably heard the domineering shout of the Xu Dong family in his ears: "What hasn't reached the deadline yet, that poor boy pawned the pearl of the night at the moment of Shen Shi thirty days ago." It's been a month now, and the deadline has expired, so you can sell it to me!"

In ancient times, the unit of timekeeping was December of the year, five weeks of January, six days of the year, twelve hours of the year, and eight quarters of the hour. Thirty days, exactly one month!

Shopkeeper Li was speechless.

Xu Dongjia said slightly angrily: "Li Kai, you old thing, don't toast and don't eat and drink, you really want me to sue you at your host, so you are willing to sell the Night Pearl." ”

Li Kai dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, with a look of humility on his face. Xu Dongjia's name is Xu Mancheng, one of the descendants of the Xu family, responsible for the foundation of the Xu family in Yangzhou. Although he is greedy and domineering, he is quite sophisticated in business and is a leader in Yangzhou business. Because of his love for collecting pearls, all of them have a nickname called "Xu Pearl".

A month ago, Song Sicheng, a famous filial son in Linxian County, pawned the family's ancestral treasure Night Pearl in order to save his mother because his mother was critically ill.

That night, the pearl had a large bowl mouth, white jade and clear, without any magazines, and it was like day in the dark night, which was a priceless treasure.

Li Kai has been identifying antiques for forty years, he really can't determine the value of this night pearl, so he can only give four words "priceless", he really can't imagine that a poor jingling noodle seller can get such a treasure.

Looking at the honest and honest Song Sicheng, Li Kai took the night pearl and only pawned him three taels of silver cakes.

This is not to be greedy for Song Sicheng's money, but to hope that he can redeem this priceless treasure in a month, and he can't bear to make such money from Song Sicheng, a well-known filial son. Unexpectedly, Xu Mancheng knew about this matter, and intended to take the pearl as his own, expressing his willingness to buy it for fifty taels of silver cakes, and also found his owner to put pressure on him. When his proprietor heard that the pearls, which were only worth three taels of silver cakes, he didn't care about them at all, and agreed with all his mouths.

Li Kai is sixty years old this year, his son died early, only a pair of grandchildren remain, the eldest grandson is about to get married, and the younger grandson also needs money to go to school, he is the only pillar of the family, he can't do without this job, so he can only use the excuse that he can't break the rules of the pawnshop and affect the reputation, so as to delay.

He really didn't want this kind of treasure to be dusted and fall into the hands of the greedy Xu Mancheng, but now he was helpless, he couldn't support it, and seeing that Shen Shi still had some time, he had an idea: "Xu Dongjia misunderstood, how dare I, time really doesn't allow it, I have nothing to do here, you see there is still some time before Shen Shi!" ”

Xu Mancheng saw that this was the case, and he didn't say anything, just snorted and said: "You don't dare, I'm just waiting here, I don't believe that the poor boy can come out with three taels of silver cakes in this last bit of time." ”

Du He didn't know the reason, and he was confused, but he bought the ideal gift, and he didn't lose his interest because of this, and left the pawnshop with a smile.

After walking two streets, he suddenly saw an honest young man with a hairpin in his hand, running towards him quickly, and was about to collide with him.

Du He's figure flashed and he dodged it.

The young man stopped his steps again and again, hurriedly returned, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm in a hurry, I didn't bump into you!" He looked sincere, and kept nodding his head.

Du He smiled slightly, how could he care about him, but said: "Be careful, if you bump into someone on the street, although it is a trivial matter, it is not good after all!" ”

The young man said yes again and again, and he no longer sprinted, but walked relatively faster.

Du He was about to turn around and leave, but found that there were five or six unknown people pointing at him, and he was stunned for a moment, but saw that they had already walked towards the young man.

Curious, he stopped.

"Bang!" With a bang, a sturdy middle-aged man among those unknown people collided with the young man.

The young man just shook, but the middle-aged man took three steps back and fell to the ground.

The young man was obviously startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help. Before he could get closer, the group of unknown people had already surrounded the young man and pointed at him. The honest young man has a hard time speaking, so he can only keep apologizing.

Du He saw clearly that the Dunhou youth had slowed down his pace after being advised, and it was those people who deliberately bumped into him, not to mention that the slight collision between the people was not enough to cause such a big reaction, so he couldn't see it, walked up, grabbed the hand that was about to push the Dunhou youth and said: "I can see clearly, you guys are looking for trouble!" ”

The strength in his hand was not great, but his true qi had turned into a steel needle, penetrating through his skin and piercing deep into his bones.

The people around looked at each other, and they actually punched Du He together.

The young man shouted in shock: "Don't do it, you have something to say, it's my fault, it's my fault!" ”

With a "bang", the young man actually stood in front of Du He and punched him with his face.

Du He originally planned to give a slight punishment, but Dunhou Youth blocked in front of him so that he couldn't fight back, and he was stunned to see that the half of Dunhou's face in the middle fist had been swollen, and blood was overflowing the corners of his mouth, this attack was really not ordinary ruthless.

Immediately, he was also furious, and directly carried the banner Fengyun palm, and when he landed, the palm was overflowing, and he slapped three palms on everyone's body, and the internal force penetrated through their bodies and put them down.

In the face of this group of unreasonable madmen, he dealt a heavy hand, and the internal force would be wreaked havoc in their bodies for three days, and the severe pain would torment them for three days and three nights before it was eliminated.

"Are you alright?" Du He looked at the young man with some speechlessness, he didn't have the strength of three or three, so why bother to stand up and block his fist for himself.

Dunhou young man smiled: "Beauty is, beauty is ......" His mouth was a little unclear because of the heavy blow, "They are beautiful teeth!" They're eight ...... old."

Du He smiled: "It's okay, it's just a small punishment and a big commandment, it's okay for a while, what about you, aren't you in a hurry?" ”

At the mention of this, Huo Ran, a young man with a thick heart, woke up, confessed, and left in a hurry, only walking into the pawnshop he had just come out of.

The moment he walked in, that Roshan seemed to be Xu Dongjia, and walked out with a brocade box in his hand and laughing.

Before and after Du He contacted, he suddenly realized that he suddenly felt that his hands were itchy.
