Chapter 228: Scalpers from Another World
Since Jihua has been formulated, the next step is naturally to implement it in a hurry. The soldiers who had come with the party contacted Burnny, divided the stolen goods and set off overnight, running to the surrounding cities.
The next day, Tang En also went out early in the morning to go to the city hall.
In fact, there were still three days before the banquet, so there was no need to be in such a hurry, but after hearing from Bosko last night that this invitation was a bit in demand, Don decided to buy it first to avoid problems.
However, this decision was regretted after Don stepped out of the carriage. Because the city hall hasn't opened yet, it's like it's not time to go to work, so I'll do it......
In desperation, Don had no choice but to scratch his head, buy a newspaper from the newsboy, and sit on the steps next to him and wait.
The location of the city hall is not far from the central square, and the cold water city in the early morning is lively enough, with people coming and going, most of which are business groups that have set up carriages and are ready to leave. Of course, there are also some men who don't return home at night, packing up their clothes and hurrying over. As for how to see it, it's simple, and there is still a little rouge left on the neck...... Pray, I hope he won't die too badly when he returns. Hehe......
The newspaper didn't pay much attention, and Don preferred to observe all kinds of passers-by, guessing where they were, who they were, and what they had done...... It sounds a little boring, but it's good for disguise, cultivating a killer mindset, etc., uh, well, it's boring to kill again......
Shaking his head, Don casually opened the newspaper and flipped through a few sheets, and couldn't help but be a little bored. Because of their arrival, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the procurement task, Burnny's secret agency has not made any more propaganda recently. This was misinterpreted by the official newspapers as weakness, and several pages in a row were slanderous remarks that were pursued by victory......
Well, I'm bored. Donn's heart fluttered. Lift the newspaper slightly. His eyes swept around. It turned out that during this time, there were some people gathered around from far and near. After another observation, Tang En put his mind at ease, it was not an ambush, these people who were dressed as merchants or housekeepers should have waited for the city hall to open to buy invitations like him.
Tsk, it seems that it is really sought-after......
"Sir. Good morning. ”
Putting down the newspaper, Tang En looked up at the young man with lewd facial features who appeared in front of him: "Hello." ”
"The eldest brother is here to buy an invitation to the banquet, well, when I look at the eldest brother, I feel that I am in love, I still have an invitation to zuihou, do you want to give it cheaper?" After speaking, he glanced around vigilantly, carefully took out a big red bronzing sticker from his arms, and unfolded it for a few seconds. Put it away again.
Despite the short time, Don was able to see the appearance of the invitation and the contents inside. This should be the invitation to the banquet of Shuiyue Manor, whether it is packaging or paper, it is a high-end product at a glance. The column for the names of the guests is empty, and there is the seal of the Castle Lord's Mansion in the lower right corner.
Tang En's face was a little weird, he looked at the young man in a daze, and opened his mouth: "There are scalpers here too?"
“...... W-What cow?" the young man was stunned, his face inexplicable.
"Oh, nothing. Don came back to his senses and raised an eyebrow, "Then how much are you going to sell this invitation?" ”
"It's not expensive, just give it to my eldest brother. Well, 50,000 gold coins. ”
"Huh?" Tang En was stunned at first, then shook his head speechlessly, and said with a smile, "Hehe, you can call this a robbery." Well, as far as I know, the price of the invitation is about 8,000 gold coins, right?" "It's true that Don is rich now, but that doesn't mean he's willing to be the boss.
"It's eight thousand, that's right. The enthusiasm on the young man's face disappeared, patted the invitation on his chest, and said mysteriously, "But do you think you can still buy it now?"
Donn raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Sorry, you're too expensive, I can't afford it. ”
"Forget it, others are still rushing to buy it. The young man said stupidly, took two steps, and turned back, "When you look for me again, the price may be more than this." With that, he walked to the other side without looking back, where there sat a man who looked like a merchant.
Shrugging his shoulders, Tang En got up nonchalantly, and the door of the city hall not far away had been opened.
Of course, the city hall is not only a sales function, and after suffering a few indifferent glances, Tang En finally inquired about the place. This kind of encounter vaguely gave him the illusion of returning to the present world......
"What, sold out? How is it possible, this invitation is only going on sale today. ”
Before he could enter the door, Don heard a disgruntled voice coming from inside. Pushing the door in, I saw several people excitedly surrounding a desk, approaching it, and a middle-aged official in uniform inside crossed his arms, his eyelids drooped, and his expression was very indifferent.
After listening to it for a while, Tang En couldn't help but be depressed. The middle-aged man was the one in charge of the sale, and according to him, the banquet invitations had been sold out. This is undoubtedly ridiculous, because the invitation had only been on sale this morning, and Don had been waiting for them before the city hall was open.
After a while, several guards in armor appeared outside the door, forcibly driving out several of the most violent people on the grounds of obstructing official business.
In this way, the people who stay are a little dumbfounded. There was a stirring spirit that began to set up and secretly stuff money, but the middle-aged man was unmoved, and only said indifferently that the invitation was gone. After pestering for a while, everyone had to curse and walk out of the room.
But it's too thorough, isn't it...... Donn frowned as he exited the room with the crowd.
As soon as he came out, he happened to take a photo with the scalper young man before.
"Hehe, what's the matter, it's not sold, is it?" said the young man with a mocking smile on his face when he saw Tang En.
Tang En's face did not move, and he nodded: "Yes." ”
"Hmph!" the young man was bored, and he couldn't help but pout and enter the room, and took the wooden door with him.
Don paused, flicked his right hand back, and the dagger poked out as the wooden door closed to hold it. Looking around, those who didn't buy it were swearing and walking out. There were a few guards not far away, but their attention wasn't here for the time being.
Don quickly took two steps back and closed the wooden door......
"Your Excellency, you are so clever. The ten invitations have already been sold. This is the money obtained. "Needless to say. This sycophancy timed the young man without a doubt.
"Hmph. You kid is hiding it privately!" The middle-aged official's majestic voice sounded.
"Yo, wronged. Even if it's for the little ten dares, I don't dare to deceive you. ”
"There is no best, if there is you know the consequences!"
"Yes, yes......"
"Well, I'll give you some more. Do a good job, I won't treat you badly afterwards!"
"Xiexie-sama, xiexie-sama, I'll ...... by all means"
............
Hehe. I knew it was going to be like this...... Shaking his head and laughing silently, Don walked away before the guards not far away could look at him.
Out of the city hall, Don did not leave, but sat behind a column. After a little observation, I soon noticed that there were more than a dozen people constantly shuttling through the anxious-looking crowd, bowing their heads and whispering something from time to time.
Needless to say, they should be the same as the young man, scalpers from another world. It seems that no matter what time and space it is, as long as there is a desire for money. The choices made are always the same. Because of the statement of the middle-aged official in the city hall, these people are doing very well now. The closing rate is extremely high.
Originally, they were the only ones who had the invitation. So there is confidence, love to buy it or not. But the buyer is different, as long as you want to buy, you have to be slaughtered, and even the price is impossible, so you have to buy it in Zuihou.
This is not going to succeed. The middle-aged official only needs to say that the invitation was bought by these people, after all, as long as others have money, you can't care how much others want to buy. What's more, jumping from 8,000 to 50,000 or even higher prices, an official must not have the courage to be greedy, nor does he have the ability to be greedy. If you think about it a little, you will know that there must be a lot of intertwined protection nets behind this.
That's the power of unspoken rules......
There were also a few people who came to Tang En with the intention of peddling, but Tang En shook his head and refused, only saying that he was just here to sit and rest.
After a while, the obscene young man walked out of the city hall, and when he looked at the bulging chest, he knew that the middle-aged official had given him a lot. Presumably because the reward afterwards was also rich, he didn't delay after he came out, and immediately walked into the crowd and began to lobby and sell.
The corners of Donne's mouth curled slightly, and he turned out from behind the pillar and walked straight towards the young man.
In this short time, the young man actually made another stroke on a man who looked like a housekeeper. Just when he was proudly putting the golden ticket in his arms, he was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
"How's the business?"
With a shake of his body, the young man let out a short exclamation, Huo Ran turned his head, and suddenly became angry: "What are you doing...... It's you!"
"yes. Donn smiled and nodded.
Call...... The young man first breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes rolled a few times, and his face was full of smug smiles: "Hehe, I finally figured it out, right?" But now this price is not what it used to be, 80,000, not a penny less!"
"You're mistaken. Don reached out again and patted the young man's shoulder and smiled, "I just wanted to ask you how your business is?"
Smack, an annoyed look flashed on the young man's face, he reached out and knocked off Tang En's arm, and pouted, "Business is not bad, what's wrong?"
"Well, congratulations, congratulations. Don nodded, full of sincerity, "Then you continue to work hard and don't bother." ”
After saying that, he simply turned around and left.
The young man stood still, opened his mouth, and came back to his senses after half a sound: "Sick!"
............
On the other side of the square, Donne, who had already sat in the carriage, flipped his left hand, and three big red gilded invitations appeared in his hand.
"Hehe, it's a good feeling to get something for nothing...... Well, one for me, one for Fei Rui, one for Bosco, tsk, 50,000 gold coins. No, this has to be reimbursed, at least the old guy's has to be reimbursed. Don't say you don't want to? I'm already discounted for the sake of affection......"
Don is not good at it, at least not as good as Jack. But when it comes to taking things in person, what you pay attention to is that you are fast, and Don is still confident in this.
As for the young man who lost three invitations, how to explain to the middle-aged official, that is not a problem for Tang En...... Tsk, it's probably going to be hung, it's a pity...... (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
