But it was such a ridiculousness, but it made the eyes of everyone in the crowd light up.

After all, it is beneficial and harmless for them to be exempted from the tax burden of the government for one year.

The identity of this Penglai person is obviously not simple, as if believing in him can make life more hopeful.

So immediately in the crowd, someone shouted the price: "Five hundred taels!" ”

It's a lot of money, and it's about the same value of this bracelet.

However, for the sake of a year's tax burden, and maybe even to curry favor with the general of Penglai, five hundred taels is not the final number.

"Six hundred taels!" "Six hundred and fifty taels!" "Seven hundred taels!" "Eight hundred taels!"

"One thousand taels!"

A thousand taels?! Crazy!?

You must know that even some small businessmen have never had as much as 1,000 taels of taxes a year.

As soon as these three words came out, everyone fell silent.

Even Chu Yue looked at the source of these three words-

It was a businessman who looked very rich, a man in his forties, lean, and very kind with a smile.

But it is this kind of person who is often the deepest hidden. Chu Yue came to this era, and for the first time, she felt like this again: she couldn't see through this man, and she couldn't even see through this man's eyes.

He stepped forward with a smile and immediately presented the silver ticket of one thousand taels with both hands: "I am a merchant from Nanzhou City, and my surname is Sun." The Sun's cloth village and rouge shop on the streets of the south of the city were opened by me. One thousand taels, I hope you will smile and accept it, and say a few kind words for me in front of the government, exempting me from tax burden for a year, I thank you here first! ”

It turned out that he was the richest man in Nanzhou City, Sun Zhong!

Not only did he have many industries in the city, but more importantly, he almost monopolized the pearl industry in the entire South China Sea.

I heard that he is the second oldest in the family, and the process of making a fortune is not so fair. But in the end he monopolized the pearl industry and all its subsidiary industries in the South China Sea. To put it bluntly, even if he bought this pearl bracelet that belonged to their Sun family for 1,000 taels, he didn't lose too much. Compared with the annual tax of a rich man like him, a thousand taels of silver is indeed nothing.

Seeing that it was about to be settled, Xie Siyun stepped forward, gestured two fingers, and winked at the Penglai person: "I'll pay two thousand taels to buy this bracelet." ”

Hiss –

Chu Yue gasped in her heart: Is this man crazy!?

Even the Penglai people who sold bracelets were stunned by Xie Siyun's big deal: "What did you say? ”

Xie Siyun smiled slyly and winked at Qi Duo on the side: "Since it is for your master, it is worth spending more money." Today, the big deal for us is to be caught, and there will be a day before we commit a capital crime. It's your master's apology, let's say we can't give it to others, right? I've seen the entire Nanzhou City, and this bracelet is worthy of her, two thousand taels, not much, right? ”

This is......

Qi Duo reacted suddenly, patted his chest and smiled: "So that's the case!" You're so smart! You're right, even if I spend all my money, I want to buy this bracelet for my master as an apology. ”

Chu Yue lowered her eyes and smiled, in fact, their methods were really not very clever.

It depends on whether this Penglai general can react.

When General Penglai heard what they said, he really glared angrily, and the pearl bracelet in his hand was held tighter: "So you guys actually fought this idea?!" Okay, good, I'm still here to play with you seriously! I tell you, this pearl bracelet will not be handed over to you under any circumstances! ”

Xie Siyun was not in a hurry, he only shrugged his shoulders: "Is it possible, you are a Penglai person, and you want to rob the territory of this Ye country?" ”

The man's face was already iron-blue, and he touched his purse, and then put down the words: "Five thousand taels!" I bought this bracelet! ”

"Flutter-"

Hatsuki couldn't hold back her laughter, then coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, and turned away from the idiot.

There was silence all around, and no one would have thought that someone would have to pay ten times the price of the bracelet itself.

Looking at the Penglai people who were so angry, Xie Siyun was not annoyed, and only looked around with a slight raised eyebrow: "The price has reached five thousand taels, is there anyone who wants to bid with us to buy this bracelet?" ”

At this time, even the wealthy businessman who had just bid 1,000 taels took back the silver ticket in his hand, and then shook his head again and again: "No, no, you just bid." ”

Xie Siyun nodded, and the Penglai man held the pearl beads in his hand more and more tightly: "How about it, do you still want to buy it?" This string of beads, I said that I would not sell it to you, five thousand taels, will you increase the price? ”

The smile on Xie Siyun's face bloomed, like a flower blooming in the last trace of cold in this spring.

He waved his hand, and then pressed the Penglai man again: "Five thousand taels, deal!" ”

Now, General Penglai was stunned-

Xie Siyun struck while the iron was hot: "You see, this pearl bracelet was sold for 5,000 taels from me, but only with you."

Sold for two thousand taels. It's obvious who wins and who loses, right? ”

As he spoke, he looked around and waved his hand: "So many people are a witness, and the general won't deny this little money, right?" ”

"Of course."

He stood confidently in the crowd, and it was the most dazzling light: "The promise given to us by the general should also be counted." I've heard that the people of Penglai have always been the most trustworthy in their promises, not to mention that they are still in the territory of another country, so can we get out of the way? General? ”

As soon as Xie Siyun's words came out, those who were watching the excitement were the first to start applauding!

From one or two applause to more and more people applauding and even shouting for Xie Siyun.

The face of General Penglai can't be hung up after all.

The pink pearl bracelet was pinched in his hand, and little by little it was annihilated into ashes.

Qi Duo didn't think it was a big deal, and he was beside him: "Tut-tut, it's really rich." Now this good pearl is rare, so I waste a bracelet, it seems that I am going to find another thing for the master. ”

Even if you ruin this bracelet, the general can't help but be trustworthy.

slapped the five thousand taels of silver tickets in front of the shopkeeper, he walked up to Xie Siyun and pointed at Xie Siyun viciously: "Boy, I remember you!" You must also remember me, my name is Shui Haotian, you must keep me firmly in your heart. for one day you will be at my hands! ”

It's such an uncomfortable name.

Xie Siyun put his knife on with both hands, but there was no half-grovel look between his eyes: "This is the Ye Country in the end, not the place where you Penglai people do evil." Give you back your knife, and put it away. ”

The confrontation between men only needs a glance is enough.

Looking at Shui Haotian's back angrily, warm applause broke out around him.

Even the shopkeeper gave Qi Duo another string of pearl bracelets of good color to Qi Duo's hands: "These people are used to doing evil in Nanzhou City, and today they have finally been taught a lesson, which is really enjoyable!" But when you are in the city in the future, be careful. You don't think you're from Dongzhou City, right? It's better to go back to your hometown as soon as possible to avoid it, but don't provoke the Penglai people again. ”

That is true, but they still have to do what they should do.

After some excuses, he didn't accept the bracelet in the end.

On the contrary, there was one thing, Xie Siyun opened his mouth at this moment: "If you really want to thank us, we want to inquire about someone." I heard that there is an old Mr. Yin Ruteng Yin living in seclusion in Nanzhou City, can the shopkeeper know a little about his whereabouts? ”

Yin Ruteng is what they are looking for, and he is also the only person on this road who has successfully experimented with artificially cultivated pearl mussels.

The shopkeeper listened to their intentions, his eyes flickered, and even his smile was not as enthusiastic as Fang Cai: "I'm looking for Mr. again, I want to learn how to cultivate pearls, right?" It turned out to be our opponent in the South China Sea, but it was different from those worldly people who came in the past. But Mr. Yin is a native of our South China Sea, how can his craft be learned by others? ”

It's interesting to look at, although he has a bad attitude, Chu Yue also thinks he is good, at least he loves his hometown.

Xie Siyun was not annoyed, but just arched his hand to him: "Don't hide it from the shopkeeper, we are from the East China Sea." It is true that I came to consult Mr. Yin's craftsmanship, and I hope that the shopkeeper will be convenient and can tell you one or two. ”

The shopkeeper put the bracelet back in his stall, and then sneered: "I don't know." Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you strangers. If I had known, I would have told us my own people a long time ago, so why wait for you to come and find it? ”

After being deflated, Chu Yue raised her eyebrows, and she didn't expect them to see this old Mr. Yin on the first day they came.

Xie Siyun didn't ask any more questions, Fu arched his hand again, and took Chuyue and them to the inn to prepare to rest.

However, when they arrived at the inn, the shopkeeper stopped them at the door: "A few objective, the shop is full!" ”

Chu Yue stretched out her head and looked at the empty hall, a little strange: "Isn't this no one?" ”

The little two smiled a little stiffly, but the action in his hand to stop them was insisting: "It's full!" ”

Qi Duo grabbed the shopkeeper and seemed to be very dissatisfied: "You are full, don't you see that we are tired?" If you don't live in your store, go into the store and order some food, won't it be possible?! ”

The hall was empty with only two tables of people, so you wouldn't let in the door, right?

But the shopkeeper still didn't let them in: "I'm really sorry." You just provoked the Penglai people in the bazaar, he has already been told by someone, if the small one lets you go in to stay and give you food to eat, the small shop is afraid that it will change hands tomorrow, and please don't be embarrassed by the small one, the small one is just a small two, you can only listen to the shopkeeper's words. ”
