Chapter 242: Who's Behind the Scenes

The people of the Song Dynasty were far less brave and martial than the people of the Tang Dynasty, and were influenced by the court's emphasis on literature and military suppression, and the folk customs were also biased towards weakness, and even the most popular weapons changed from swords to whistles.

On the streets of the Great Song Dynasty, it is rare to see vicious incidents, and it is rare to disagree with each other and draw swords against each other, and there are not many cases of robbing people and women and bullying men and women.

But it's not that the Great Song Dynasty didn't oppress the good, and there was no bullying of others, it's just that this aspect of the Song Dynasty will show itself in another way, and if you want to deal with a person, you often don't have a killer, but a scoundrel.

There are especially many scoundrels on the streets of the capital, and if they are given money, they will use all kinds of rogue means to deal with the target.

What Fan Ning saw was a splash who came to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, only to see a scoundrel wearing a short hat and a gray short coat sitting in front of the gate of the Stone Breaking Heaven Strange Stone Pavilion, he brought more than 20 large and small stones, just blocking the door of the store, with his arms crossed on his chest, raising his head, looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, the shopkeeper Fan Tiege persuaded him to leave bitterly, but he ignored it.

On one of the stones stands a sign that reads, 'Superior Field Shiraishi for sale!' ’

Fan Ning suddenly understood, this was obviously aimed at Tian Huangshi.

Someone asked loudly: "You man, what are you doing blocking other people's shops?" Beware of someone suing you and arresting you! ”

He raised his eyebrows and snorted: "I don't steal, I don't rob, I sell stones on the street, what's not okay?" ”

The people around laughed and said, "How much is this stone worth of yours?" ”

"My stone is called Tian Baishi, it is a rare strange stone, a catty and a tael of silver, and there is no counteroffer."

Fan Ning was furious, and was about to step forward to scold, but he felt someone pat him on the shoulder, he turned around, only to see Xu Qing standing behind him, Fan Ning saw him give himself a look, so he walked out of the crowd and came to the side gate of Daxiangguo Temple, where Zhu Pei was already waiting.

"Who is this prank?" Fanning asked.

"This person's name is Yang Stick, he is a famous splash in the area of Daxiangguo Temple, it is easy to clean him up, but I want to find out who is behind him, and who made him come here to make trouble?"

A hint of anger flashed in Zhu Pei's eyes, and he asked, "Did you find any clues?" ”

Xu Qing glanced at the upper left corner, "Did the little master see the middle-aged man in the light purple brocade robe?" ”

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei's eyes looked at each other, and they saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man, with a small nose and small eyes, wearing a light purple brocade robe and a gauze hat, standing behind the wooden pillar and looking at the skin, looking very focused.

Zhu Pei frowned, "Who is he?" ”

"He is the shopkeeper of the Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion in front, he has been standing there since the morning, and he has never been back, it seems that watching the excitement is more important than doing business."

Fanning pondered and asked, "Based on this alone, you can be sure that he is behind the scenes?" ”

"No, but I'll ask this Yang Stick tonight who asked him to come to the Strange Stone Pavilion to make trouble!"

Zhu Pei couldn't tolerate this splash making trouble here, she turned back to Jian Meizi and said, "Sister Jian, go and drive him away." ”

Jian Meizi nodded, stepped forward to separate everyone, and pulled out the long sword behind him, Fan Ning saw Jian Meizi's long sword unsheathed for the first time, it turned out to be black pure iron, blunt and round, and there was no blade.

When he saw a strangely tall woman walking forward with a sword, he was suddenly startled, jumped up and shouted, "Lang Lang Qiankun, do you want to kill someone?" ”

Jian Meizi didn't say a word, swung his sword and slashed at the stones on the ground, only to hear 'Bang! With a loud bang, a stone of forty or fifty catties was actually split into powder by her sword, and the people around were exclaimed, and they retreated, and everyone was speechless, what strength this was.

Yang Gong'er was stunned and speechless, only to see Jian Meizi sword by sword, and in just a moment, he smashed more than 20 stones.

Fan Ning's eyes were staring at the shopkeeper of the Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion, only to see that his face changed greatly, and he turned around and hurriedly walked towards his shop, Fan Ning snorted lightly, there is a chance that the person behind the scenes is this person.

At this time, there was a burst of warm applause and cheers around him, Yang Stick was trembling with fright, he touched his head, and suddenly turned around and crawled to the south, without Zhu Pei's orders, Xu Qing had quickly followed.

Jian Meizi had already put her sword back into its sheath, she didn't want to be noticed, so she walked into the store quickly, and the people around her whispered and dispersed, and Fanning and Ju Pei also walked into the store.

"Sword girl, thanks to you today!"

Fan Tiege was thanking Jian Meizi, he knew Jian Meizi and knew that it was Zhu Pei who came, as soon as he turned around and saw Fan Ning, he was immediately surprised: "A-Ning, when did you come back?" ”

"Second uncle, I just arrived yesterday morning, and I came to the store today to have a look."

Fan Tiege sighed, "I knew there would be this day, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly?" If you can't compete with me, you will use this despicable means against us. ”

"Does the second uncle know who did it?"

"Let's go to the second floor and talk."

Fanning walked up to the second floor, but found that the furnishings on the second floor had completely changed, the lattice shelves against the wall were gone, there was only an antique shelf with an ancient shape, and a few ordinary Tianhuangshi were placed, Fanning was a little surprised, what was going on?

Zhu Pei understood the situation and explained to Fan Ning: "Now that the price of Tian Huangshi has risen, the price of this kind of ordinary Tian Huangshi will be 100 times, and the frozen stone Tian Huangshi is even more precious. ”

Of course, Fan Ning knew the preciousness of Tian Huangshi, but that was after the Ming and Qing dynasties, but now it is still the Song Dynasty, just because the Son of Heaven likes it, so Luoyang paper is expensive for a while, and it will take time to precipitate to form the consciousness that the whole people recognize its preciousness, and it is impossible to be so fast.

This kind of interest comes and goes quickly, it can only be said that it has a reputation but no reputation, is it appropriate to price it so high?

Fan Tiege arranged for his men to clean the streets, he also walked up to the second floor, he saw Fan Ning looking at the antique rack and was stunned, so he explained: "Now the business is okay, almost every day I can sell two pieces of Tianhuangshi, today is an exception." ”

"Didn't anyone buy frozen Ishida yellow?"

"Of course, every guest likes frozen stone Tianhuang, but the price is expensive, and the price of each piece is basically between 300 and 500 yuan, which is much more expensive than ordinary Tianhuang."

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and then asked, "Do other stores also have Tian Huangshi for sale?" ”

"Yes, but they all bought from us, and on the first day they bought nearly 500 yuan, and it became their goods, and we sold them at a low price, and we lost a lot." When Fan Tiege thought of this, he felt a burst of hatred in his heart.

"And how do they sell?"

Fanning doesn't care who takes advantage of it now, he only cares about the sales of the entire Tianhuangshi.

Fan Tiege shook his head, "All they bought were ordinary Tian Huangshi, as far as I know, basically no one bought it, and Tian Huangshi was sold to customers in our store." ”

Fan Ning sighed lowly, "Such a large capital, with a population of more than two million and thousands of wealthy people, actually only sells two pieces of Tianhuang Stone every day, which shows that everyone still does not recognize this strange stone, and it will take time to precipitate." ”

Fan Tiege was stunned, and asked for a while: "Then A-Ning thinks it's better to do it?" ”

Fan Ning pondered for a long time and said to him: "In the future, Tian Huangshi will sell it for two, ordinary Tian Huangshi will sell it for ten yuan for one tael, and Tian Huang for frozen stone will sell for fifty yuan and one tael, and he will not sell the original stone, but will sell carvings, and Zhu Zhe's statue will add five hundred yuan on the basis of fifty yuan and one tael." ”

After a pause, Fan Ning said: "Tian Huangshi is mainly used to make seals, so it is very important to make buttons, and put more blank seals and put them in exquisite boxes for guests to choose." ”

Fan Tiege nodded silently, "I understand!" ”

Zhu Pei said with a smile on the side: "Tian Huangshi's matter will have time to talk about it later, let's talk about today's splashing matter first, how much does Second Uncle Fan know?" ”

Fan Tiege invited the two of them to sit down, and he sighed softly and said: "It didn't just happen today, in fact, in my expectation, it is still related to Tian Huangshi!" ”

"Is it the Pearl Stone Pavilion?" Fanning said coldly.

Fan Tiege was a little surprised, he didn't expect Fan Ning to find out so quickly.

Fan Tiege nodded, "The Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion is the leader, but several other Strange Stone Pavilions also have a share. ”

"Second uncle, it's better to start from the beginning!"

"Things have to start from the day we first opened, when we didn't understand the market, and sold Tianhuangshi at a price of ten yuan a piece, and it ended up selling for nearly 500 yuan in one morning.

However, Akihito is very shrewd, the night before, he removed all the frozen stone Tianhuang and replaced it with ordinary Tianhuang stone, so the strange stone pavilion bought all ordinary Tianhuang, and the degree of moisturization is far less than that of frozen Shitian Huang. ”

Fan Ning suddenly found that Mingren was missing, and hurriedly said, "Second uncle, let me interject a word, what about Mingren?" ”

"He went to Fuzhou, and he set off early the morning before yesterday, and we were going to develop other high-grade Shoushan stones, and they went to implement them."

"Second uncle, please continue!"

Fan Tiege continued: "Later, they also learned that there was a better quality frozen stone Tianhuang, the afternoon before yesterday, the shopkeeper of the five strange stone pavilions came to me together, and the first person was the shopkeeper Yang of the Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion, and they offered to share the supply, or I sold frozen Shitian yellow to them in large quantities at a low price.

Of course I refused this kind of unreasonable request, and the shopkeeper Yang threatened me, this kind of money-making thing can't be enjoyed by one family, otherwise it will be difficult for our store to continue, he dropped this sentence and left, and then there was a thing of splashing skin and blocking the door today. ”

"What is the background of this Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion, does the second uncle know?"

"I only know that they just changed the owner, the owner's surname is Zhang, and I heard that his brother seems to be the national abbot!"

"Zhang Yaocheng!" Juppé and Fanning said in unison.

Neither of them expected that the road was narrow, and they actually met Zhang Yaocheng again.

Zhu Pei saw a trace of ruthlessness in Fanning's eyes, so he asked him, "What are you going to do?" ”

Fan Ning said coldly: "It's not impossible to cooperate with the other four, but let's settle today's accounts clearly, as for the Pearl Strange Stone Pavilion, it doesn't want to cooperate with us, but wants to monopolize Tian Huangshi exclusively." ”
