269 Trouble
Soon the fat man embarrassedly sorted out the pile of things, and explained curtly: "These are all good things, but ordinary people have no knowledge, they don't know the preciousness of these antiquities, and I am reluctant to sell them when the price is low, so I put them here indiscriminately, the Titan God testifies, the fat man, I definitely didn't lie, these are all good things!"
No business, no treachery, no officials, no greed, this is really reasonable. Jiajing, who had never lived in Silver Wind, naturally didn't know that most of the humans here did not believe in the Titan God, so the oath made by the fat man was not binding on him at all.
Speaking of these antiquities, the fat man still held back his anger, when he drank a few sips with the thief old drunkard, he was fooled by the old thief, and inexplicably bought this pile of antiquities that were said to have been stolen from the ancient tomb. After sobering up, I found that these antiquities are fakes, although the shape is simple, but they are definitely from the hands of modern craftsmen, after a series of forgery techniques, so that their luster texture becomes similar to antiquities.
The angry fat man found the old thief to return the goods, but it was too late, and the money was exchanged for fine wine by the old drunkard, and when he heard that it was still the best wine from Athena, he used up all the dozens of gold coins he had defrauded from the fat man.
The fat man didn't have anything to do with this dead thief, and those forged antiquities are estimated to be hundreds of years old, but they were forged a hundred years ago.
The fat man, who had suffered a big loss, had no choice but to sulk and put these so-called antiquities on his grocery stall except to swear not to drink with the old thief in the future.
The cost of an antiquity is nearly five or six gold, of course, the fat man is reluctant to sell it at a low price, and only hopes that one day a nouveau riche with a lot of money will let him earn back that cost. And those who can bid to buy antiquities are mostly very sophisticated, so naturally they will not fall for this fat man.
So these so-called antiquities have been on the fat man's stall for more than half a year, and now he meets a big tyrant who is willing to pay two gold to buy a large number of statues.
Although Jiajing is rich, he is definitely not a person who is stupid and has a lot of money in the eyes of a fat man.
The reason why he paid two gold to buy these statues was only because of the exquisite craftsmanship of these statues, and the value of works of art in the minds of different people is completely different. In the eyes of the fat man, these statues were only worth one or two silver, and if Jiajing gave these statues to other nobles, the value would be far more than a thousand times higher.
Jiajing didn't study much of these antiquities, and he didn't have the intention of buying them, if they were really all good things, how could he leave them littered and wait for him to buy them. There are many stories in the book that you can find treasures on the stalls on TV, and Jiajing will not believe it, although he himself has bought the runes of the red-eyed griffin in Lao Ke's shop.
However, he still asked out of politeness: "What antiquities, how much?"
When the fat man heard this, when he really regarded Jiajing as a stupid nouveau riche with a lot of money, he pretended to be distressed and said: "These are antiquities thousands of years ago, for people who know the goods, they are all difficult to buy, and today it is rare for a fat man to fall in love with a friend, even if you have a hundred gold!"
A hundred gold coins are difficult for even a wealthy family to come up with, Jiajing shook his head at the moment: "It's a little more expensive, forget it, just help me put these statues up, by the way, how much is it in total?"
When the fat man heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly picked up a small round ball from the pile of antiquities that he thought was more quaint and could deceive people, handed it to Jiajing and explained: "Take a closer look, this is really an antiquity, or even if you have fifty gold, if you want them all, I can still count you cheaper!"
Jiajing didn't want it, but when he swept his eyes over the ball, he found that the material used in the ball was a little strange, as if it was made of black gold, he couldn't help but feel moved, took the ball and took a closer look, and really let him find a few fonts on it-Zhixin!
What shocked Jiajing the most was that these two fonts were exactly the same as the fonts on the puppet runes, both of which were ancient Chinese characters!
Obviously, this thing has something to do with the red-eyed griffon.
In order not to arouse the fat man's suspicion, Jiajing still played with the ball quietly, and his eyes fell on other items one by one, but he didn't find anything else made of black gold, so he nodded and said indifferently: "Well, this thing is still a bit old, and I want all fifty gold, but I have one condition." ”
The fat man's eyes widened in surprise: "What conditions just say!" Five hundred gold is a windfall, which can help the fat man step from the well-off class to the wealthy class, with so much money at once, plus his usual savings, he no longer has to set up a stall on this street, and he can also set up a shop, hire a few guys, drink and drink in his own leisure, and be a big boss with his legs free, what a fascinating life!
Jiajing pondered: "Tell me, where did these things come from?"
The fat man smiled and said, "Hehe, I heard that it was stolen from the ancient tomb, but it is not clear where the ancient tomb is." ”
Jiajing stared at the fat man's two small eyes, and saw that his scalp was numb, and after a while, he said coldly: "Once I find out that you have something to hide, I don't want any of these things!"
As he spoke, he took out a large handful of gold coins and tossed them between his two hands, making the fat man's saliva water.
He swallowed his saliva and gritted his teeth: "I bought it from an old drunkard, but I don't know where he got it, and I don't know where he got it!"
He didn't want to tell Jiajing, lest he find the old drunkard himself and know that these antiquities were actually counterfeits. Now the fat man knows that he can't hide it, and he was forced to say it directly, but he also wants to leave a way back for himself, so he said that he doesn't know the true origin of these things, even if Jiajing knows that they are all fakes in the future, he has a reason to perfunctory past, anyway, he took the money, don't want to let himself spit it out again.
Jiajing smiled slightly, threw the gold coin higher, still looking at the fat man's two small eyeballs with an aggressive gaze, and asked, "That old drunkard, can you take me to meet him?"
Of course, the fat man didn't dare to take Jiajing there, otherwise he wouldn't have to show his stuffing on the spot when they met, and the old drunkard only had to drink a little wine, and he couldn't hold any secrets in his stomach, so he hurriedly explained: "It's that old guy in Luceton, everyone knows that this old drunkard has been drinking at the brave bar on the east side of the street for a long time, and the adults can find him at any time, and the little one still has to do business, I'm afraid I can't accompany the adults to find him!"
Where will he set up a stall, as long as Jiajing pays for the goods, as soon as the front foot leaves, he will immediately pack up his things and slip away, even if Jiajing wants to return the goods to him, it is not easy, he can see at a glance that Jiajing is a foreigner, even the accent is so unfamiliar, even a foreign tourist may not be able to say.
Jiajing nodded slightly, and it could be seen from his eyes that the fat man was not lying, and was about to put the round ball and antiquities into the space ring, when suddenly an arrogant and domineering voice sounded behind him: "These things are one hundred gold, and my son wants them all!"
Jiajing's face changed slightly, his eyes were half-squinted, and he followed the prestige.
saw a young Naga with silver scales on his lower body appear behind Jiajing.
The Naga snake clan is very similar to the Mojia people, the only difference is that the Naga have four arms, while the Mojia have only two arms, and the strength of the Naga can generally be seen from the color of the scales on their lower bodies.
Generally speaking, the stronger the strength of the Naga, the color of the lower body continues to evolve from white, gray, green, red, silver, and gold, and the golden Naga is the most elite warrior of the Naga clan, and its strength is comparable to that of most sub-super fierce beasts. If the Titans did not pass the coming-of-age ceremony and were not blessed by the Titan God to obtain the natural skill of condensing lightning light spears, they would not dare to confront the golden Naga snake warriors head-on.
This young Naga is also extraordinary, he is already a Silver Armor Naga at a young age.
Behind him were two red-armored Naga guards, their upper bodies clad in thick black armor, and each of their four arms held four short knives with a cold light.
For the Nagas, the word "shield" is not included in their dictionary. An unstoppable offensive is their best defense, and even the most powerful fighter will have a headache when facing four sharp blades that are flying up and down and difficult to defend against at the same time.
The Mojia man who was thrown out of the Tiandi Hotel by the Storm Bear brothers is also there, and these guys are obviously here to trouble Jiajing.
