Chapter 51: Greedy for Money, Bold and Powerful
When passing by the antique market, Greedy saw that Kindness was raising money for poor children and was auctioning off his antiques, so he went up to see the excitement. However, he was obviously late, and the auction was nearing its end, but it was the right time, because now the auction was "Ma Ta Feiyan", the last and most valuable antique in this auction, and its reserve price was ten taels of gold.
I saw Aoxin stand up and shout, "Everyone, don't fight with me!" Lao Tzu has money, you can't fight me, so if you know each other, stand aside and watch it carefully, and I'll pay twenty taels. β
There was a lot of discussion below: "It's really rich! It's twenty taels when it comes out. β
At this time, a connoisseur who knew antiques was very faceless, and increased the price: "I will pay twenty-five taels." "He knows the value of this antique.
Ao Xin motioned for the bodyguard to go over and disturb him, only to see a big man walk over and say to the antique connoisseur who had just bid: "Even if you can afford to pay for it, do you think you can get it back?" As he spoke, he showed his muscles to Na Xin, and then said, "I think you should save some effort, the bamboo basket will only be empty." β
Proud then bid: "I'll pay twenty-six taels." The connoisseur just now was obviously frightened, and he didn't dare to bid anymore, and he didn't dare to compete with him anymore. So, the notary of the auction began to count, twenty-six for the first time, and then look around, empty, silent, no price increase, proudly smiled, twenty-six for the second time, there is still no response, pride is even more proud, it seems, this "horse stepping on Feiyan" is none other than himself. He was completely immersed in joy and thought he had a win.
Just as the timpani hammer was about to be knocked down, he greedily increased the price: "Thirty taels." I can't get used to those who go around swaggering and oppressing the people with a few stinky money, it's too arrogant. β
Even the auction notary was speechless in surprise, and there was an uproar in the venue, and everyone focused on greed.
Proud Xin seemed to fall directly back to the ground from a height of 108,000 miles, and suddenly roared angrily: "What bastard dares to come here to put my way, I'm tired of it, right?" So he motioned for the bodyguards to come and teach him a lesson.
When Greedy saw the big man coming this way, he said to the skinny monkey and the pig, "It's time for you to behave well." So the skinny monkey and the ** pig walked up to the greedy and put on a posture.
When the big man looked at it, he was startled, walked back in a gloomy manner, and reported proudly, "They have come prepared. β
"How many of them came?" Lazy said angrily.
"Three." The big man said.
"Stupid, can't you beat one against three?" Lazy said angrily.
"It's hard to say, you see, I only have two hands, and the three of them have six hands, and it's hard to beat six hands with two hands. If you count your fingersβ" the big man argued, counting his fingers.
Seeing this, Ao Xin was furious, and immediately gave him a punch and shouted: "Rice bucket, I asked you to fight, not to teach me to count my fingers." Quick, go get a few more thugs. Proud of the bodyguard so much that he forgot that the auction was still going on, and seeing that the notary's hammer was about to be knocked down, he immediately stopped: "I'll pay thirty-five taels." β
Greed didn't give him room to think, and immediately overtook him: "I'll give forty-five taels." There was another uproar in the venue, and everyone threw surprised glances at greed.
Standing up arrogantly, he wanted to see who this heart insisted on competing with him was, and when he looked at it, he was startled, isn't this greed! This kid suddenly has so much money? He couldn't figure it out. So he decided to go forward to find out, smiled at greed and said, "Greed, I haven't seen you for a long time, where do you get rich now?" Greedily pouted and ignored him. Seeing this, Proud said angrily: "Do you know where this is? Auction site! You have to give the price you offer, this is not a joke! β
Greedily heard him say this, and replied angrily: "Don't think that if you have a few stinky money, you can come here to spread wild." β
He was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted, "Fifty taels." β
Greedily replied slowly: "Sixty taels." β
The arrogance was like thunder, and he wanted to step forward and beat him, but when he saw that there were two bodyguards beside him, he endured it and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll let you go back." I'd like to see if you have so much money to give, your kid's money must have been stolen, or fake, or maybe you and Ben don't have any money, just messing around here and deliberately embarrassing me. Okay, I'll leave it to you and see how you end up. β
There were no bidders, and the notary counted to three, only to hear the crisp sound of hammering the waking wood, and the notary said: "'Horse Riding Feiyan' now belongs to this greedy buyer." He smiled greedily, and then walked to the auction table in a hurry, everyone paid attention to his actions, only to see him take out a bag of gold ingots from his pocket, and take out six of them and put them on the table, only to see that those gold ingots were all shining, and everyone felt dazzling at first glance.
But Proud was not convinced, and stepped forward and said, "Wait, let me verify whether this gold is real or fake." He took the ingots and studied them, only to see that he first weighed the weight, and then bit it with his mouth, and then looked, there were his tooth marks on the gold, he was still unwilling, deliberately pretended to be unstable, the gold fell to the ground, and made a horn and horn sound, there was no rhyme and no elasticity, it was indeed true!
Greed looked at it very helplessly, so he said to Aoxin: "Real gold is not afraid of fire refining, how about it, do you see what is going on?" Seeing that there was no gap, Proud had no choice but to retreat.
Then Kindness awarded the "Horse Riding Feiyan" to Greedy, and announced that all the gold and silver obtained from the auction would be given to the poor people, hearing this, Greed refused to take the "Horse Riding Feiyan" away, only heard him say to Kindness: "I think I should also make a little contribution to these poor people, you can accept this 'Horse Riding Feiyan', I know that this is a very important heirloom to you, and that money is considered a piece of my heart." Kindness wanted to resign, but greed had already made up his mind, and he stepped down after handing over "Ma Ta Feiyan", only to see applause from the audience, and greed felt inexplicably relieved.
Then, the greedy couple wandered around the downtown again. At this time, Aoxin followed closely with the bodyguards who had just arrived, waiting for the opportunity to move, wanting to take revenge on the greed that deliberately embarrassed him just now. When he arrived at a secluded place, Ao Xin's bodyguard stepped forward to block the greedy way, and then Ao Xin said angrily: "Boy, you actually dare to go against Uncle Ben, and let me make a fool of myself in front of everyone, this time I want to get it back with you, give it to me!" β
The proud bodyguards surrounded them one by one, greedily knowing the meaning of the proud heart, and said to the skinny monkey and the ** pig: "It's up to you!" β
So the skinny monkey and the ** pig immediately put up a shelf, and a big battle began to be staged. The arrogant thug greeted him first, only to see that the ** pig knocked the other party unconscious with a punch, and the other saw that the situation was not right, and his legs and feet were so frightened that he didn't dare to step forward. The skinny monkey knew that he was not the opponent's opponent, so he caught and sought them out, but he was still caught, and the other raised his fist and punched the skinny monkey in the face, but unexpectedly, the skinny monkey tilted his head, but the punch hit the face of the thug behind him, which made him feel so painful that he had to let go. The skinny monkey kicked back the other thug, who was still surprised, and made him shiver in pain. Then hurriedly ran to call the ** pig: "Boss, I'll leave the rest to you." The two guys who were not afraid of death really greeted them, but the punches that were hit were all grabbed by the pig, and then, the pig knocked them together, and the arrogance who was watching the excitement on the side was dumbfounded.
Greedy took the opportunity to make fun of Ao Xin and said, "Should we also come to the competition?" β
Frightened, he ran away, and because he was walking too fast, he didn't pay much attention to it, and he bumped into the carriage that happened to pass him, and at the same time he didn't forget to say, "What a lot of stars." But why can't you see the moon? Then he fainted on the spot, and when the bodyguards saw this, they immediately ran over to help him up, and bent over with a smile on their greed. After cleaning up the pride, this made the greedy excited, and the evil breath in his heart finally came out today.
Then they continued to wander the streets. Suddenly, someone in front of me shouted: "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief! β
Greed immediately gave the order: "You two go and get me the thief who ran ahead." So I only heard a whooshing sound, and the skinny monkey and the ** pig ran past the greedy and caught the thief. A cool breeze blew through it, chilling greed to the point of sneezing.
After a while, the ** pig grabbed a heart and came to Greed, "Uncle, the thief has been caught." β
"Let go of me, I'm being stolen." The one who was caught defended.
Greedy was surprised on the spot and said, "Ah, this is all right, fat pig!" You'll catch it when you've got it! β
"Oh, I'm sorry." Pig immediately apologized to him.
"What the hell are you doing? I told you to catch the thief, but you caught a thief and interrogated him? Indiscriminate Filling, huh? Greedy rebuked.
"Who told him to look like a thief with a thief head and a thief brain!" Pig argued.
When the one who was arrested heard this, he was furious, and said angrily: "It's better than you have a pig's head and a pig's brain." The two hearts looked at each other angrily.
At this time, the skinny monkey had already brought the thief back, "Master, the thief has caught you." β
"Get what you stole quickly." The thief then handed over all the things he had just stolen, and after the thief took what belonged to him, he turned around and left without saying a word.
The greed jumped to his feet and said angrily: "This is too unqualified!" I didn't even say thank you, see if I can help you next time? Then he pointed at the thief and scolded: "And you, what's not good to be a thief, you don't want to live, right?" β
"I just want to live, but I don't have the money to live, I was forced to steal it because I was cornered, you think I want to." The thief defended himself.
"Is no money a reason? Money is earned with your hands, not stolen with your hands! Did your parents give you these hands to do this kind of stealing? Let's go! I don't want to see you again, so let's do it for myself! If you continue to do this, sooner or later you will be planted on it. Greed taught.
The thief felt helpless and had to flee in disgrace.
