Volume 3 Water City Chapter 105 Parade Street Guards Zuo Xingwen
"1000 babe?"
Before, he asked Lian Meng for 500, but when he arrived at Zhou Nian, it suddenly doubled, and it was clearly sitting on the ground and starting the price, and the lion opened his mouth!
Sure enough, when I saw someone put down the dishes, I caught the toad and was able to make a ball of powder, and I squeezed it like a child!
Such a profiteer, who will Zhou Nian punish if he doesn't punish him? He smiled lightly and continued, "Hehe...... Little brother really dare to make a price, seeing that I am a foreigner and honest, do you want to deceive me? Although this hosta is good, it may not be worth 1000, you can tell me why it is worth this price. ”
The peddler was stunned, he never thought that the other party was not the kind of gentleman who spent money like running water in his imagination, the hosta was not worth the price at all, and the characteristics couldn't be thought of for a while, so he simply still used the old words before, "This hosta is forged with ice crystal magic stones......"
"What's so good about the Ice Crystal Magic Stone?" Zhou Nian interrupted.
"It'...... It's good that it'......" The vendor was immediately asked, he was a smasher of goods, not a forging of goods, how could he know the quality of the ice crystal magic stone?
But in order to retain Zhou Nian, a big customer, even if the hawker didn't know, he couldn't lose his confidence, muttered, and simply stubbornly said, "The ice crystal magic stone is hard, and the hosta forged with it is wear-resistant and durable, and it is not afraid of falling!"
"Oh, in that case, this hosta is very hard, isn't it?"
"Yes...... Yes!" the peddler shouted with a pale face, but apparently lacking confidence.
"Hehe......" Zhou Nian chuckled, and slowly let go of his hand under the hawker's extremely surprised gaze.
"You ......"
"Bell ......"
When the hosta landed, the peddler's face turned green with fright, and he opened his mouth to scold the other party's recklessness, but when he saw that the hosta that fell on the ground was intact, he was relieved.
The hardness of the hosta really gave the hawker a long face, and it didn't break when it landed, which fueled his arrogance.
"Hahaha...... How about Shaoxia, I didn't lie to you, this hosta is not afraid of falling, you can toss it as much as you want. ”
Zhou Nian bent down to pick up the hosta on the ground, frowned and wiped the soil on it, nodded and said, "Well, it's quite strong." ”
"That's, it's not me who blows, my hosta doesn't care ......" The peddler was proud, pouting his big mouth and about to continue touting, but suddenly there was a crisp cracking sound in his ears!
"Smack!"
With a crisp sound, Zhou Nian's fingers suddenly forced, and a small Dan fire quietly hit the hosta, and it immediately exploded into a ball of powder!
"Huh?"
Before the hawker could react when he opened his mouth wide, he saw that his most precious hosta had turned into a ball of powder in the other party's hand, and it was blown by the wind and disappeared.
Gone!
The vendor was immediately anxious, almost jumped up from the stall, pointed at Zhou Nian's nose and scolded, "...... you"
However, he wanted to be anxious, Zhou Nian looked even angrier than him, the tiger glared angrily, and interrupted with a burst of shouting, "You dare to lie to me? Didn't you say that this hosta is very hard? Why did I just break it lightly, and it exploded?"
What is a scoundrel? If Zhou Nian plays a scoundrel, he can throw off the hawkers for more than a dozen streets!
"Huh?"
Forced to drink, the peddler was so frightened that he shrank his head and took a few steps back, obviously cowardly, his eyes widened and his face was full of astonishment, and he was still muttering in his heart, "Could it be that I was wrong just now?"
But as soon as he muttered a few words, he immediately reacted.
It is an indisputable fact that the hosta was destroyed, although what he just said was a bit big, but the other party could not act recklessly because of this, this is a hosta with a price of 1000 babees, almost top his income for several days, so he stopped, and he lost his money!
His face changed again, and the hawker played the prestige of the locals, and shouted, "If you break my hosta, you must compensate me!"
Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe...... Just now, it was obvious that you boasted about Haikou and said that this hosta can withstand tossing, but now that it has been broken, you blame me?
"You...... You won't be able to leave without compensating me for the hosta!" the peddler shouted, his tone aggressive.
"What if you can't go?"
"How's it going?" snorted coldly, and the vendor suddenly took out a very small piece of bamboo from his arms, with a slender string tied at the end, which looked similar to the Ming bamboo in the Diyun Palace.
"Do you want to go, no way! This is the city of water, the place where there is a king's law!" With a low shout, the vendor suddenly pulled the string on the bamboo chip, and suddenly a red flame erupted from it, straight up, straight into the sky, and after reaching a certain height, it suddenly exploded!
"Smack!"
There was a loud bang, and a cloud of red smoke suddenly burst into the sky, and the smoke began to gather, and gradually pieced together into a strange cicada-shaped.
And with the appearance of the cicada in the sky, the surrounding passers-by also gathered over, full of curiosity, turning heads and ears, and at the same time, in the crowd not far away, a team of people rushed in a hurry.
"Quiet, what, what, quiet!" one of the guards began to maintain order.
"Who sent the signal, what happened?" In the middle of the team, the stars were clustered around a heroic young man.
He was about twenty years old, and he was quite handsome, but his face was a little pale, he was always yawning, his eyes were slightly squinted, and he rarely looked at people squarely, as if he had an innate contempt for everything.
His name is Zuo Xingwen, and he is the captain of the guards in the South City of Water, who is responsible for the security work in the downtown area of the South City, and usually in addition to dealing with some trivial matters, he also has to protect the interests of every hawker in his jurisdiction.
The downtown area of the City of Water, subdivided into four cities, east, west, north and south, each city has its own street guards, Zuo Xingwen is in charge of the southern city, the hawkers here have to secretly give him a confession every month, with this layer of interests behind the scenes, he will inevitably be partial in handling affairs.
When the peddler saw Zuo Xingwen, it was like seeing his own father, his smile was revealed, and he hurriedly greeted him, shrinking his head and clenching his fists like a pug, which is called a courtesy.
"Hey...... Zuo Ye, you are here. ”
The hawker is in his early thirties, and calling a hairy boy in his twenties "Master" is completely for the sake of the other party's power.
There is no way, if you have money, you are a master, and if you have power, then it is even more.
Zuo Xingwen swept his eyes, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and his tone was slightly impatient, "Chen San'er, why are you again? I said, why did you have an accident with three days and two heads? Is the master an idler?
Chen San rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Hehe...... Zuo Ye, if it's okay, how dare I work hard for you, the key is that I met a thorn in the head today, he won't admit it, I can't do anything about him, isn't this bothering you, you are affected, take care of this matter?"
"Thorn head?" Zuo Xingwen raised his eyebrows, playing tricks on his realm, he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart, turned his head slightly, and immediately shifted his gaze to Zhou Nian.
"Huh...... Is that him?" Zuo Xingwen yawned and pointed at Zhou Nian and asked.
"Yes, yes, it's this kid who doesn't know what to do. Chen San nodded and said.
Zuo Xingwen hugged his chest with his fists and said contemptuously, "Tell me what happened." ”
"Yes, yes, I'm doing business today, this kid came to my stall to see the hosta, and asked for a long time, but he only looked at it and didn't buy it. I saw that he didn't have much sincerity, and I was about to send him away, but I didn't expect this kid to hold a grudge because of this, and he was resentful, and he broke my hosta, I asked him to pay for it, and he also said that it was about him, Zuo Ye, do you say that there is still a royal law?"
Reversing black and white, confusing the public, and talking nonsense, this Chen San is really shameless!
Zuo Xingwen frowned after hearing this, knowing that Chen San was a person, this set of statements must have been added to the vinegar, not the truth.
Although it is not a fact, Zuo Xingwen did not expose it.
He received a lot of benefits from Chen San on weekdays, he had a short mouth and a short hand, so he naturally helped him speak.
Walking forward with a yawn, Zuo Xingwen lightly skimmed Zhou Nian in front of him, and said in a faint voice, "Boy, what Chen San said just now, but is it true?"
Zhou Nian chuckled, and when he saw that the two people opposite were singing double reeds, he frowned slightly, and naturally he didn't have a good tone when he spoke, "Hehe...... What do you say?"
"Huh?" Zuo Xingwen was stunned, he never expected the kid on the other side to be so calm.
According to common sense, if he was framed by someone, he would definitely try his best to defend himself, but the young man opposite did not explain so quickly, but in a rhetorical tone, it was really confusing.
Raising his eyelids, Zuo Xingwen was a little more serious at this time, "I, Zuo Xingwen, have always acted impartially, Chen San's words can't convince the public, I have to listen to what you say, so as to save others from saying that I have cheated for personal gain and wronged good people." ”
is such a "righteous and awe-inspiring" rhetoric, can you still fool passers-by, and want to deceive Zhou Nian?
Blinking, Zhou Nian knew that no matter what he said, the other party would pick a bone in the egg, so he simply stopped explaining, but skillfully changed the topic and grabbed a small braid of the other party.
"Guard, right? Come here, I'll only tell you about it. ”
"Huh?" Zuo Xingwen was a little curious, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, but he still walked over slowly, "Say, I'll listen." ”
Zhou Nian got closer, smiled, and whispered in Zuo Xingwen's ear, "Zuo Guard, has your body been a little weak lately? Could it be that your body is overdrawn?"
"Huh?"
As soon as these words came out, Zuo Xingwen's body was violently excited!
Zhou Nian hurriedly pressed his shoulder, "Don't move! If you move again, it will be troublesome if passers-by hear it." ”
"You...... How do you know?" Zuo Xingwen's scalp was numb, his face was pale, and he almost jumped up!
Zhou Nian's guess is simply in one sentence, to the point!
As the captain of the Nancheng Guards, Zuo Xingwen seems to be beautiful on the surface, but in fact, behind the scenes, the nightlife is extremely erosive, he will eat the offerings of the hawkers every month, and he has abundant funds on hand, so he naturally does not worry about food and clothing, not to mention slack in cultivation, but also wastes his good youth in the land of all kinds of fireworks and willow alleys, excessive profligacy, not to mention that he is a mere cultivator, and the iron man can't stand it, he can be tired and yawn constantly when dealing with a little thing, such an abnormal performance, how can he escape Zhou Nian's soul power perception?
Day and night, endless, Zuo Xingwen is heroic on the surface, but in fact, his body has long been hollowed out, combined with his current stunned expression, Zhou Nian is even more sure of the judgment in his heart.
"Huh...... You don't care how I know, I deliberately only told you alone, just to save face for you. ”
"You...... What the hell do you want?" Zuo Xingwen became nervous.
Zhou Nian shook his head, "I don't want to do anything, it's just that I want to make you a friend." ”
"Make friends? Why?"
"Huh...... Zuo Guard, I think you have also heard a sentence, many friends have many roads, many enemies have many walls, I have just arrived, naturally I don't want to cause trouble, and then I will have to bother in the City of Water for a few days, and I will have to trouble you to take care of it when the time comes. ”
"Hmph, what benefit can I get by making friends with you? Even if you tell my secret, I'm afraid you don't have much influence based on your outsider's words, right?"
"Huh...... It's really not influential, but Zuo Guard, don't you want to restore your body to its original state?"
