Chapter 362: Finding Fault
Coming to the living room and drinking a cup of tea, Ouyang Feng Chuanyin instructed Hongshang to look at the six of them, and then set off with a reluctant Bruce. When he walked to the door, Ouyang Feng suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked the monkey: "You said you want to have a big meal in the evening?
The monkey pointed in the direction of the backyard and said, "Four masters, be quiet, today is Elena's birthday, everyone is going to surprise her at night." β
Ouyang Feng suddenly realized, and said with a happy face: "So that's the case, okay, get more delicious food, and I'll go buy a gift for this little girl." After speaking, he glanced at Qingfeng meaningfully.
Out of the villa, Ouyang Feng and Bruce swayed all the way, and after walking for a while, Bruce asked in surprise: "Fourth master, aren't you going to the City Lord's Mansion?" β
Ouyang Feng shook his head and said, "The City Lord's Mansion will go later, let's go to a place first." Bruce thought that Ouyang Feng was planning to choose a gift for Elena first, so he didn't ask too much, and looked around along the way, looking around to see what to buy for Elena.
Ouyang Feng seems to be aimless, but in fact, his purpose is very clear, that is, a few days ago, he and Hongshang bought that Fengyang Ding's cultivation shop. Ouyang Feng felt that he had been deceived, at that time, the guy said that the Fengyang Ding was the treasure of their town store, and also said that it was the refining furnace used by the boss's ancestors, and after determining that the broken Ding was actually the Fengyang Ding, the guy's words were obviously deception, such a good thing, if the boss was not stupid, how could he sell it to himself so cheaply? There must be some secret in it.
Although Ouyang Feng is easy to take advantage of, he has to figure out what is going on when he takes advantage, he doesn't want to accept the benefits of others in a daze. Especially when he was just about to learn alchemy. Someone secretly sent this Fengyang Ding. This made Ouyang Feng have to pay attention. Because it was still early and there were not many pedestrians on the street, Ouyang Feng and Bruce didn't take much time to come to the small Xiuzhen shop.
There were no customers in the store, the guy was sleeping on the counter, and Ouyang Feng and Bruce came in and didn't wake up. Bruce wondered, "Four, what are we doing here? You don't plan to pick a gift for Elena here, do you?"
Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I'm here for something." After saying that, he slapped the counter hard and said to the guy, "Hey." Hey, wake up, are you still in business?"
The guy was taken aback by Ouyang Feng, and subconsciously stood up, squinted his eyes, and said with an eternal professional smile on his face: "If you want to buy something, we have all kinds of magic weapons, pills, and various materials." β
Ouyang Feng pouted and said, "You better be sober and sober." After speaking, he walked to the counter where various exercises and miscellaneous notes were placed, and carefully checked the labels and introductions on them.
After a while, the guy finally came to his senses. wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth, walked over to Ouyang Feng and Bruce with a smile and said, "I'm sorry." I just fell asleep, do you want to buy something or sell something?"
Ouyang Feng turned around, looked at the guy with a smile and said, "Do you still know me?"
The guy glanced at Ouyang Feng, thought about it for a while, patted his forehead and said, "Oh, I remember, you are the guest who bought the treasure of our town store last time." How's that going? The furnace is still working, right?"
Ouyang Feng straightened his face, took out a broken copper piece from the storage bracelet and threw it on the ground with a clatter, and said with an angry face: "I just came to ask you for an explanation, is the treasure of your town store a furnace or a bomb? Why did it explode by itself after buying it back? It also killed several people, you have to give me an explanation for this matter, otherwise we will go to the City Lord's Mansion to evaluate it." β
The guy was stunned when he heard this, looked at the black copper sheet on the ground, and said in disbelief: "No, right? We tried that thing on the spot, how could it explode on its own? This guest, did you misoperate it or fill it with things when you were refining? Refining is a rigorous science, and you can't mess around." β
Ouyang Feng was made angry by the guy's disguised prevarication, in the past, Ouyang Feng hated the scum who shirked the responsibility after something happened, regardless of whether it was his fault or not, Ouyang Feng has always felt that if something happens, first solve the bad consequences of the accident, and then investigate the cause, who is responsible for it, this is justified, like those who know that it is their own fault but refuse to admit it after the accident, but in the first time to speak and quibble, such people are the most hated, should directly find a place to bombard with missilesγ
Ouyang Feng forgot that he was here to talk about it, and when he heard the guy say this, he suddenly became furious, grabbed the guy's collar and said viciously: "Are you talking about farts when I say it? I sue you, I haven't started refining the weapon yet, just start the broken tripod and the broken tripod will explode by itself, you say, what should I do about this? If you can't be the master, call your boss, if it doesn't work, let's call the city guard, call the city lord, I still don't believe it, there is no place to reason." β
Bruce looked at Ouyang Feng in amazement, he didn't know that this four-in-command with a good temper was fine just now, but how did he change into a person like this for a while, and he was so angry.
The guy was also frightened by Ouyang Feng, and he hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say why.
Ouyang Feng also calmed down at this time and let go of his buddy, but he still said with anger on his face: "Say, what's going on with that broken ding? Did you deliberately buy it for me and prepare to murder me? If you can't explain this matter to my brother, let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion, I can tell you that I have someone in the City Lord's Mansion." Bruce rolled his eyes. The guy was completely frightened by Ouyang Feng, especially after hearing that Ouyang Feng had someone to support him in the City Lord's Mansion, his legs were a little weak with fright, and he finally told him what had happened.
It turned out that the Fengyang Ding was not a treasure of the town, but was found in the pile of rags when he sold the tattered a year ago, and he also knew a little bit about the refining weapon, and found that this copper tripod was a refining furnace, and it could be used, so he bought it back at the price of a gold coin and put it in the store to sell.
After a while, the owner of the small shop came over, and after discovering this copper tripod, he tried it, and thought that this copper tripod was good, so he asked the guy to stay for the time being, and wait for him to study it, but after that, the boss went out and never came back, and during that time, some cultivators in the city followed the city lord to fight for the spar mine, and many people died, and the guy felt that the boss might have hung up, otherwise it would be impossible not to show up for such a long time, and it was just his nephew who came to replenish the stock and check the accounts every month. Later, when Ouyang Feng and Hongshang came to buy the refining furnace, the guy felt that he should try his best to talk about the copper tripod, so that if the small shop closed down, he would not be able to sell the copper tripod if he kept it, so he made up a lie and fooled Ouyang Feng into buying the copper tripod.
After listening to the guy's story, Ouyang Feng nodded, he knew that the guy didn't lie this time, which made Ouyang Feng breathe a sigh of relief, and he was sure that there were no high-ranking hermits who secretly paid attention to him, let alone that they deliberately gave him that rare Fengyang Ding.
Seeing that Ouyang Feng's face had eased slightly, the man hurriedly begged: "Guest, just let me go, I also bought the copper tripod, or I will return all the spars to you, you can let me go." β
Ouyang Feng pouted and said, "Let you go, then my subordinates will die in vain?"
The guy cried bitterly and said: "Senior, I am old and young, the whole family is supported by me alone, if something happens to me, the whole family of more than a dozen people will be finished, you will disturb me, I can compensate, I will give you all the money." β
Ouyang Feng felt that it was almost over, and he didn't want to scare this timid and somewhat idiot guy anymore, so he pretended to ponder for a while, and finally sighed and said: "Alas, it's not easy for you, for the sake of you still have a lot of family to take care of, I won't worry about you, let's return the spar to me, and the matter will be over." β
When the guy heard this, he took out a bag from the storage bracelet very painfully, handed it to Ouyang Feng and said, "It's all here." β
Ouyang Feng didn't count, and directly put the spar into his storage bracelet, and then said seriously: "The number is wrong?"
The guy said with a sad face: "I used up a spare, senior, I really can't get it, even if I sell it, I won't be able to get the spar to pay you." β
Ouyang Feng glared and said, "What a piece of spars, is it a hundred spars missing, or medium-grade spars, hurry up and call them out, otherwise I will find the city guards." "The guy finally figured it out, he obviously only used one low-grade spare, this guy actually said that it was a hundred medium-grade spars, it turned out that this guy in front of him didn't plan to let himself go at all.
The guy wanted to resist, but he knew that he was not someone's opponent, so he sat on the ground weakly and begged repeatedly: "Senior, just spare me." β
Ouyang Feng snorted and said, "Hmph, it's okay to spare you, but you can also give me some compensation, right?"
The man said with a bitter face: "I still have a house near the south gate, and there are more than a hundred gold coins at home, I will give you all these, you can let me go." β
Ouyang Feng pouted and said, "What do I want your house for?"
Seeing Ouyang Feng's gaze sweeping around the store, the guy had an idea and said, "Otherwise, whatever you like in the store, just take whatever you like, as long as you let me go." β
Ouyang Feng said disdainfully: "The things here are not yours, what's the matter with me?"
Seeing that Ouyang Feng seemed to be a little moved, the guy hurriedly explained: "Senior, rest assured, just take whatever you like, I will explain to the boss, it's a big deal that I will make up for the things when I sell the house." β
Ouyang Feng pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it, and finally sighed and said, "Alas, I'm just soft-hearted, so let's do it, I just have a little bit of meaning, and I won't embarrass you, that's all." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the counter where the exercises and miscellaneous notes were placed. (To be continued......)
