Chapter Eighty-Three: The Pit Won't Kill You (I)
"Hey, don't miss it! Don't miss it! Sale! Sale! Rare treasures, sword skills, and sword tricks are all sold at half price! All are sold at half price!"
In front of a shop owned by Situ's family, a soldier wearing a military uniform was Lin Ruhai, the captain of Yun Zhan's subordinates, who was shouting desperately, and behind him, a long table nearly ten meters long was erected, and the table was full of large and small brocade boxes, each brocade box had been opened, revealing the things inside.
"Things seem to be pretty good!" a man in a long robe stepped forward, looking at the various treasures in the brocade box, obviously a little moved, eager to try, and asked, "I just don't know how much it costs?"
Seeing that someone wanted to buy it, Lin Ruhai immediately walked up to the man and said with a smile: "You can rest assured, the price is absolutely cheap, but I don't know which one you have a fancy for?"
The man looked back and forth on the long table, and finally fell in love with a celestial stone.
"You have a really good eye, this Tianguang Stone is a rare treasure, it shines in the dark night, the room shines, you don't light the lamp at night, just put it in the house, directly like the day!" Lin Ruhai introduced the man while taking the brocade box containing the Tianguang Stone and handed it to the other party: "This kind of treasure was originally worth tens of thousands of taels, seeing that you are also a person who knows the goods, I will sell it to you cheaply, give you a 5% discount, and charge you 5,000 taels!"
"The price is fair!" This man is obviously also a person who knows the goods, and when he heard that the price was so cheap, he was immediately moved, so he thought that after checking the authenticity, he took out the money to buy it, but when he got it in his hand, he was immediately frightened, pointed to the brocade box, and said in a lost voice: "You are a thing of the Qin family!?"
Hearing the man say this, several people watching around immediately stepped forward, and sure enough, they found that each brocade box on the long table had the mark of the Qin family, and the value and name of the treasures in the box were written in words next to it.
"It's really something from the Qin family, this 'jasper carved dragon' is the birthday gift that I sent to the old man of the Qin family, Qin Tianxiong, on his sixtieth birthday!" someone said loudly.
"I said how come these pair of golden silk gloves are so familiar, last time my brother-in-law injured a subordinate of the Qin family and was arrested into the Qin Mansion, I used this ancestral treasure to get through the relationship and go to redeem him!"
......
Hearing that someone dared to sell the treasures of the Qin family on the street, the onlookers immediately gathered more and more, and after a while, they recognized most of the origins of these treasures on the long table.
"This ...... This is the Qin family's thing, how dare you sell it on the street?" the man holding the Tianguang Stone in his hand said in a trembling voice.
"A few days ago, the Qin Mansion caught fire, and I think eighty percent of it was done by these people!"
"That's right! These people are really bold, it's not even if they burned the Qin Mansion, they actually dare to sell the Qin family's treasures in public!"
"You don't know that, you look at where this stall is, can't you guess the doorway here!"
"What kind of doorway, isn't this stall just in Situ's house...... I see!"
The conversation of the onlookers, coupled with the fact that the three major families in the city have always been incompatible, and the fact that the Qin Mansion was burned a few days ago, immediately understood the reason!
At this time-
"I want to see who is so bold as to dare to sell my Qin family's things in public!"
I saw a young man in a black robe push away the crowd and walk in angrily.
"The Lord is coming!"
"The young master of the Qin family - Qin Zhongliu!" someone whispered.
Seeing Qin Zhongliu appear, the onlookers immediately scattered, fearing that they would be affected by the fish in the pond, especially the man who wanted to buy the Tianguang Stone before, and his hands and feet trembled with fright.
"Hmph!" Qin Zhongliu snorted coldly at him, and glared angrily at Lin Ruhai: "You guys are really daring!"
Facing Qin Zhongliu, a congenital master, Lin Ruhai also felt a lot of pressure.
"Qin boy, are you going to come to Lao Tzu's territory to make trouble?" Situ Huo and the Overlord of Chu had already been mixed in the crowd, and when they saw Qin Zhongliu appear, they immediately appeared.
Situ Huo and Chu Bawang are both real masters of the Innate Five Heavens, seeing the two of them appear at the same time, Qin Zhongliu was alone, and he was obviously a little lacking in confidence: "How dare I come to your old man's territory to make trouble, I just heard that someone stole my Qin family's treasures and came here to sell them, so I want to see what happened!"
"Oh, there's such a thing!" Situ Huo pretended not to know.
Qin Zhongliu pointed to the long table and said, "Each of these items has the logo of my Qin family, so it is naturally my Qin family's things!"
As he spoke, he turned his fingertips and pointed at Lin Ruhai and said, "And he, obviously, is the thief who stole these from my Qin family!"
"Nonsense, I'm a soldier sent by the imperial court to resist the tide of beasts, how can I be a thief who steals!" Lin Ruhai argued.
"Hehe, then how do you explain these things, why do they all have the logo of my Qin family!" Qin Zhongliu said coldly, obviously as long as Lin Ruhai couldn't explain it, he would do it immediately.
"That's right, where did you get these things, you have to explain clearly!" said the Chu Overlord and glanced at Lin Ruhai.
"We are on the orders of the imperial court, come to Black Rock City to resist the tide of beasts, a few days ago the city lord ordered us to go outside the city to sweep the wild beasts, but I don't want to return to the city, actually intercepted by a group of gangsters, many of my brothers are seriously injured, now their lives are hanging by a thread, and they urgently need the heaven and earth elixir to save their lives, fortunately, we found these treasures from that gang of villains, so I thought about selling them, so as to buy some heaven and earth elixir to save my life!"
Lin Ruhai's words are actually full of flaws, even if someone comes to intercept and kill them, how can they carry so many treasures on their bodies, but these are not the point, the point is that they, as an army to resist the beast tide, were actually intercepted and killed by others!
Obedient and listening, these words obviously pointed out that the Qin family was the group that intercepted and killed them!
"You mean, it's my Qin family who intercepted and killed you!" Qin Zhongliu said angrily.
"If you admit it, then it's the best!" A voice came from afar, and I saw Yun Zhan coming slowly, looking at Qin Zhongliu and smiling.
"You ......" Qin Zhongliu obviously didn't expect that Yun Zhan would appear so swaggeringly.
"You are talking nonsense, how could my Qin family do such a thing!" Qin Zhongliu looked at the strange gazes coming from all around, and immediately knew the key to this, the army sent by the imperial court, but to resist the tide of beasts, someone intercepted and killed them, which is equivalent to endangering the lives of everyone in the city in disguise, even if it is the Qin family, the people in the city have to fight with them for their own lives.
Yun Zhan was aggressive: "Then how do you explain, why did that gang of people who intercepted and killed us have your Qin family's treasures on them, isn't it your Qin family that they used to buy them?"
