Chapter Twenty-Three: Distinguished Guests
"You actually sold me a fake? Give the silver two back! A middle-aged man angrily reprimanded the businessman, the merchant was an old man, with white temples, and looked weak in front of the middle-aged man, and his entourage was a strong man and two teenagers, the teenager was probably his child or grandson, and he came out to do business with two teenagers, probably to teach them the way of doing business.
The old man was a little angry, and said, "I have been in business for decades and have never sold fakes, so how can I say that fakes come from." Besides, this beast core was obtained by me from the mercenary group, and it has been determined that there will be no fake! ”
The middle-aged man showed a hint of coldness and smiled secretly: "There will be no fake? You take it back and take a look, I see that you are an old man who will not do anything to you, if it were someone else, I would have beaten him all over the ground to find teeth! ”
The goods cart next to the old man was full of clothes, and there were dozens of beast cores among them, most of them were around the fifth order of brown, which should be a merchant who mainly engaged in fabrics, and sold some beast cores.
Beast cores are in short supply everywhere, don't look at just a few dozens, if all of them are bought and the value is not under a few carts of fabric, maybe because of the value, the old man sold the beast cores while selling the fabrics, but today he is in big trouble.
The old man took the beast core and looked at it carefully, people in business naturally knew the authenticity of the beast core, or they wouldn't dare to take it out and sell it. The old man was still full of words at first, and he couldn't help but look ugly.
"This ...... No way! I've confirmed all the beast cores, you must have dropped the bag, and you used a fake one to lie to me! "Business people have a careful abacus, and they don't know if they want fakes, and most old men think that middle-aged people are liars.
The middle-aged man had a hot temper, and dragged the young man next to the old man and threw him to the ground, "Uncle, my temper is not good, you'd better return the silver taels, or give me another beast core, otherwise you will have to smash your signboard today!" ”
The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was thrown hard, fell and cried, calling grandpa, and the entourage of the strong man immediately rushed up after seeing it, but the middle-aged man is a strong man with eight soul powers, and although the big man is strong, he is not a middle-aged man's opponent. With a flick of his fist, the strong man was knocked to the ground.
"Dare to fight back when selling fakes! Do you know who I am, uncle! The middle-aged man dragged another teenager up, and the vicious eyes made the boy cry, and then threw him to the ground, and his hands and feet were purple and bruised.
In the area of Jingji City within a radius of dozens of miles, no one will generally go up to help in the event of a dispute, everyone knows that the strong people in Jingji City are like clouds, if the offended person has a connection with a strong man or big family in the city, it is asking for hardship. So watching the old man being bullied, the crowd of onlookers just pointed and pointed, and did not come forward to persuade or hold the middle-aged man, and even if he didn't help, a few people laughed out loud.
Those with a careful eye know that middle-aged people rely on their strength to bully the old man and a group of people, and some people can laugh, which is embarrassing.
When a group of people were watching the play, a young man suddenly fell from the sky and fell in front of the middle-aged man, his face was full of anger, and the young man who jumped up was Ye Wenlong.
"Humph! There have been a lot of robberies these years, and there are many scammers! Ye Wenlong snorted coldly and stared at the middle-aged man coldly. On the big / land where the strong are respected, there is a way to survive is the weak and the strong, and the behavior of the middle-aged man to the old man and a group of people is interpreting this truth, but Ye Wenlong also wants to teach the middle-aged people today.
Suddenly, a young man appeared, the crowd of onlookers got closer, and the old man and a group of people who were bullied and laughed at Ye Wenlong looked at Ye Wenlong with evil eyes, and joked, this little ghost has a bad brain? Before the milk is broken, I dare to come out and hug the unevenness!
The middle-aged man was a little surprised, and when he saw that it was a young man about fifteen years old, the surprise immediately turned cold and contemptuous. "Meddle in my business, uncle? I don't know what to do, I have to hit your father and mother today until you don't recognize you! ”
The middle-aged man was not ambiguous at all, knowing that Ye Wenlong was even more arrogant with only seven soul powers, and after scolding, he rushed directly at Ye Wenlong. When he thought he had pounced on Ye Wenlong and wanted to swing his fist, he found that there was nothing between his arms.
"What about people? Where did the people go? ”
The crowd of onlookers was startled, and they all rubbed their eyes to find Ye Wenlong's location before they saw it clearly. Suddenly, one of them shouted, "Back! He's in the back! ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he quickly swung his fist backwards, but his fist was pitifully slow in Ye Wenlong, and only then did he swing his fist in mid-air, Ye Wenlong's foot kicked his chin, and several bloody teeth were kicked off and flew out!
"Ah...... My teeth...... My teeth! ”
Ye Wenlong glared at the middle-aged man angrily: "Hand over the beast core!"
The middle-aged man knew that he couldn't beat Ye Wenlong, and he would take a step back and be less tortured, but thinking about the beast core he dropped, no one saw it, who knew that he had changed it? At this point, he continued to quibble, "No! Didn't I give the beast core to the dead old man? He sold me a fake, and the core was in his hands! ”
Ye Wenlong sneered, flashed in front of the middle-aged man ghostly, and found a beast core from his clothes that was somewhat similar to the one in the old man's hand.
"Humph!"
The core of the beast was revealed, and the middle-aged man who didn't admit it to killing him got up with a black face, and because Ye Wenlong was too terrible, he suddenly knelt down.
"Spare your life! The little one is wrong! ”
"Get out! Don't let me see you again. ”
The middle-aged man ran away with his big mouth covered with bleeding and bloated, without stopping at all, and suddenly turned around when he left an inch: "Wait for me, I won't let you go!"
When the weak people fled, most of them were like middle-aged people, and they couldn't help but make Ye Wenlong laugh shamefully, and the crowd also dispersed under a cheer, because at this moment, Jingji City could enter again. Ye Wenlong handed over the beast core to the old man, and the old man thanked him more than once, and stopped him when Ye Wenlong left.
"Boy, wait!"
Ye Wenlong looked back, his courage was a little scary, the old man was sweating, and only after half a salary did he come back to his senses, and said respectfully to Ye Wulong: "Today's matter is thanks to the help of the young man, you also know that my manpower is limited, and there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in Jingji City, why don't you stay and help me?" The benefits are indispensable to you. ”
The Maple Leaf Pavilion cocktail party was held two days later, Ye Wenlong's trip was thousands of miles away to attend the meeting, he had the intention to be a follower, so he shook his head and left, the old man knew that he couldn't keep the young man and had to sigh.
The Jiangbei country in the Jingji city and the way is simply a paradise and a hell, the Jianglan country is bleak, dilapidated and messy, but the Jingji city is prosperous, so lively, and this is only not far from the city gate, if you go to the central area of the Jingji City, the prosperity is simply unimaginable.
Ye Wenlong found an inn, and rushed to Jingji City without rest on this day, he didn't want to wander around the city, but when he entered the inn, he realized that the money he was carrying was not enough. There was no silver tael on him when he left the Ye family, but now he has completely spent it.
The innkeeper stared at Ye Wenlong with snobbish eyes, and after a while, he suddenly said, "If you don't have any money, get out of here!" No beggars are accepted here! ”
Ye Wenlong stared coldly at the inn junior, and when he came in, he had a hospitable face, knowing that his face without money changed faster than turning a book!
"Alas! That's it......" Ye Wenlong sighed, turned around and was about to leave, at this time, several familiar faces walked in, an old man, a strong man and two young men.
"Haha...... Fate, fate! The boy is also in this inn? The old man laughed.
The innkeeper looked like he was not beaten, and the old man didn't wait for Ye Wenlong to answer after asking, so he said, "How can this beggar have the money to live?" Standing is an eyesore, affecting business, get out! ! ”
When the old man learned of Ye Wenlong's situation, he turned around and angrily scolded the innkeeper, "What kind of shop, what kind of young man?" Can't afford to live? With that, he took out a large silver pair that was shining gold, threw it on the counter, and continued to say loudly: "Open a first-class room for the young man!"
When the innkeeper saw the big silver two, his eyes flashed, and his flattering posture was like a dog tickling his master. "Great! The next person was clumsy just now, I don't know the distinguished guest, please forgive me! I'll get you ready to go now! ”
