14. Not a beggar
Chen Su had already taken two steps, but he heard the man behind him whisper "Stop", and couldn't help frowning slightly, it seemed that this person was short of protection, and he must be looking for some trouble, so he had to stop and turn around with a smile, looking at the young man with a slightly gloomy face, and asked in a kind voice: "Since Your Excellency asked me to stop, I don't know what advice you have?"
The young man stretched out his hand and touched his beardless chin, and hesitated a little before speaking: "Anyway, it's not right for you to hurt Uncle Xu, but since you say that you are not a beggar, please prove it in front of everyone, if you are really not a beggar, the matter will be stopped." ”
Chen Su didn't expect the other party to say so roundaboutly, so he had to ask: "Prove? I said that if I am not a beggar, I am not a beggar? How do you want me to prove it?" At this time, more and more people gathered at the door of the goods store to watch the excitement, and the matter probably began to spread, it was nothing more than a beggar who was suspected of giving less money but hurt him, and those who had a sense of justice pointed at Chen Su, made irresponsible remarks, and laughed and scolded him.
The young man watched as everyone leaned more and more towards their side, knowing that the atmosphere had been achieved, he said loudly: "I, Xu Zhen, am not a person who relies on the strong to bully the weak, but if you hurt Uncle Xu in front, I can't turn a blind eye, since you say that you are not a beggar, it is very simple to prove it." As he spoke, he looked at the crowd of onlookers, "Beggars are just begging for money, so as long as you can take out a gold coin, I believe you are not a beggar!"
"A gold coin?" Many people were surprised by this amount, this is equivalent to 10,000 copper coins, not too much, not too little, a gold coin may be available to most of the people present, but if they really let them take it out now, many people really can't, so since Xu Zhen drew the line, their eyes looked at Chen Su in unison, just waiting to see how this young man responded.
Chen Su frowned slightly, he didn't want to be angry with others, but he was watched by so many people, if he really turned around and walked away like this, wouldn't he really be regarded as a beggar? Young and vigorous, how can he bear this kind of thing? Immediately touched his whole body, and glanced at Huang Ting, but coincidentally, he really didn't have any money on him.
Xu Zhen looked at Chen Su up and down, in fact, just his dress Xu Zhen knew the result, in this kind of cold place, if there is a little money, which one is not dressed thickly? The reason why he said this was also to teach Chen Su a lesson, don't forget his identity by relying on some means, so at this moment he fiddled with the two copper coins in his hand that had been pinched together by Chen Su and asked: "How about it?" If you really don't have a gold coin, you can take ten silver coins out. ”
Xu Zhen said this, many unconsciously touched their pockets, if there is no gold coin, ten silver coins many people still have, compared to before, this is a sudden reduction of ninety, so this number is reasonable, if even ten silver coins can not be taken out, this person may really be a beggar Undoubtedly, but it is really not appropriate to become a beggar at such a young age.
Chen Su carefully flipped through it twice, in fact, he himself knew that he didn't have money at all, because in that other world, there was no need for this kind of thing at all, and he had never had gold or silver since he left home to go to Qingyuan Mountain, so he had to look at Xu Zhen embarrassedly at this time, and said in a low voice: "Gold coins, I don't have them." ”
Xu Zhen smiled secretly in his heart, Chen Su really did as he thought, at this time, he pretended to be helpless, pondered for a moment, and continued: "Maybe you went out in a hurry and couldn't come up with so much money for a while, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can take out a silver coin, I can also trust you." ”
"Hmph!" The steward looked at Chen Su's overstretched appearance, knowing that the other party had been forced into a corner by Xu Qian, and couldn't help but say with disdain: "Young master, don't be embarrassed for him, such a poor ghost, if I hadn't just given him two copper coins, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to take out a single one, who knows if he doesn't know what to do." ”
"Eh!" Xu Zhen waved his hand to the steward, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Xu can't be pretty, maybe this friend is just wrapped up in his waist and refuses to show his name." When he said this, everyone laughed, Chen Su's predicament was already seen by everyone, if he really had a lot of money, he was afraid that it would be strange if he didn't take out all the money at this time? Xu Zhi said and waited for a while, knowing that Chen Su must have no gold and silver, and he had already thought of the way back, so he continued: "Maybe this friend's money is not around, it doesn't matter, let you take it, wait for you until sunset, as long as you can get back a gold coin before sunset, I believe you are an honest gentleman." The reason why he said this was also to give Chen Su a way out, and the implication was to let him go, the so-called before sunset, when it really came to that time, who would care if Chen Su would not come back.
However, being teased by everyone several times, Chen Su was already red-faced, for him, if he really left at this moment, the name of this beggar would be recalled, but he really couldn't take out such things as gold and silver coins, and when he was in a hurry, he heard Huo Yuan'er chuckle in his mind, "Silly boy, I can't imagine that you are so stupid, you don't have what he wants, but as long as you take out one of the things you have, it's strange if you don't blind his dog eyes?"
Huo Yuan'er woke up the person in the dream with a word, Chen Su was also a fan of the authorities, the other party only mentioned gold and silver, so he also thought here, how could he have thought that although he didn't have gold and silver, but the things on his body were mostly valuable, when he was full of confidence, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Zhen and said: "Money, I really don't have it." ”
The instantaneous change in Chen Su's demeanor made Xu Zhen's heart sink suddenly, because at this moment, the young man opposite was no longer as embarrassed as before, but became angry. ”
"Young master!" Hearing that Xu Zhen wanted to let Chen Su go, but the steward didn't let go, he looked at Chen Su with his eyebrows fluttering, and mocked: "If you don't have money, you're a beggar, I shouldn't let you buy the goods store, and you have to give an explanation if you play tricks and hurt me! Let everyone tell me, isn't that reasonable?"
Being so noisy by the steward, everyone began to talk again, some people sympathized with Chen Su as a weakling, but some people despised his methods, so everyone criticized Chen Su for being insidious and also accused the steward of being domineering, and he should not be so concerned with a young boy.
Xu Zhen knew that if this matter continued to be argued, I was afraid that there would be no good result, even if Chen Su admitted that he was a beggar, at most, he would let his subordinates teach him a lesson, but in this way, it would not be good for the reputation of the goods company, and it would not be beautiful if there was a discord in the matter, so he opened his mouth to persuade the steward: "Uncle Xu, I think this matter will be forgotten." ”
Although the steward was reluctant, but Xu Zhi spoke, he had no choice but to be aggrieved: "Since the young master intercedes for him, I should only be bitten by a mad dog." Then he looked at Chen Su angrily, and said hatefully: "Hmph, there is a young master who intercedes for you today, count you lucky boy, why don't you get out quickly?"
Chen Su shook his head helplessly, looked at the steward, and said to himself: "It turns out that there are evil servants in the family, and that's the case!"
"What are you talking about? Do you dare to speak disrespectfully at this time?" the steward looked at him angrily when he heard this, he thought that Chen Su should run away at this moment, but who knew that he was still so hard-mouthed, "You kid can't even take out a son, and you dare to rap in front of the masters?"
"Hmph", Chen Su sneered and flipped his wrist, "I really can't even take out one, but I don't know if this thing is worth a few?" After that, he spread his palm, and a round dark green pill appeared in his palm, the pill was almost the size of a thumb, exuding a strong aura of Yuan Li, as soon as this thing came out, Xu Zhi's face suddenly became difficult to look at, and the steward was speechless.
There were also some knowledgeable people present, the elixir that Chen Su took out was the two-leaf Tianxiang pill, and the value of this thing was just the same as a gold coin, the steward's face changed greatly, how could a beggar like Chen Su have such a thing, he hesitated for a long time, and finally refused to believe it, "Hmph! This thing must have been stolen from you somewhere, otherwise with you, how could there be such a valuable pill?"
"Stubborn!" Chen Su sneered, his palm twisted lightly, and when he spread it out again, there were already five Tianxiang pills lying in the palm of his hand, one of which had reached the quality of three leaves, if it wasn't for Ugo's use at the beginning, it would not be difficult for him to take out hundreds of them at this time.
This can make everyone present stunned, if one is stolen, five is a little difficult, the master who can steal five Tianxiang pills must not be an ordinary person, at this time, I don't know how many people covet these pills in Chen Su's hands, especially the one that has reached the quality of the three leaves, if this kind of thing wants to change for a gold coin, but it is a matter of the blink of an eye. And this young man can take out five Tianxiang pills in his hand casually, maybe he is really a character with a lot of money.
But the steward still refused to give in, and stammered, "You...... Why did you steal so much at once?" He himself felt a little inappropriate when he said this, if it was a normal time, the five Heavenly Fragrance Pills would not give him such a big shock, but now that this pill is in the hands of a person he believes is a beggar, it is inevitably a little exaggerated.
"Hmph!" Chen Su put away the Tianxiang Pill with his hand, and said with a smile: "Because of your age, don't you use your brains to speak?" Finally raised his eyebrows, Chen Su took a deep breath, and turned around and strode towards a business that looked quite large next to the goods store in the surprised eyes of everyone, and at this time where Chen Su went, the crowd involuntarily separated on both sides, and the guy at the door of the business couldn't help but shout with a smile on his face: "There are distinguished guests coming to the door, the small shop is really full of splendor!"
