Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Threat of the Blood Knife
"We are members of the Bloody Knife Mercenary Squad. As soon as the national character face swordsman spoke, Lu Chengfeng realized something.
Sure enough, after a brief introduction to himself, the swordsman went straight to the point and said, "At the previous auction, our team sold a worn-out ring found from the ruins, I heard that it was bought by Your Excellency?"
"Not bad. ”
Since the other party had already gone to the door in the morning and had done an investigation, Lu Chengfeng knew that even if he denied it, it was meaningless. He just asked in a playful tone: "The transaction process and customer information of the auction are confidential, how do you two know that the ring is with me?"
The sword master was stunned, his eyes changed for a moment, and he immediately said, "That's the case, when you just got the auction items and left, we had already decided to cancel the auction temporarily. You had already left, so we chased you out, and we lost track of you in the vicinity. So, we left someone nearby to watch. Today, I saw you passing by with this ring on your hand, so I came to the door. ”
"Oh?" Lu Chengfeng sneered in his heart, with a noncommittal attitude on his face, and said, "Is this really the case?"
"What is your attitude!" Without waiting for the national character face swordsman to say anything, the third-order little follower jumped out first, and said sharply: "Standing in front of you, it's the fifth-order swordsman Su Ping, the deputy captain of the Blood Knife Mercenary Squad." How dare you, a little third-order swordsman, speak to Boss Su in such a tone?"
was scolded by a little person who was not worth worrying about, Lu Chengfeng was not angry, but just squinted at this swordsman named Su Ping. It's just that he didn't react at all, and seemed to acquiesce to the attendant's interjection.
Lu Chengfeng suddenly turned pale.
Feelings, these two people, one sings white-faced, the other sings red-faced, and wants to suppress their momentum first. He laughed and said, "It turns out that he is still a swordsman, it's terrible, it's disrespectful to be down." ”
Hearing Lu Chengfeng's words, the attendant laughed and said proudly: "Of course!"
Su Ping was also a little proud in his heart, in front of a third-order swordsman, his brand as a swordsman lit up, and it was really invincible. It's just that what makes him a little unhappy is that although Lu Chengfeng's smile is quite modest, his demeanor and words are matched together, which always gives him a little bit of mockery.
Considering that his task this time was extraordinary, Su Ping finally put aside this stalk, and pretended to be generous: "It's okay, the so-called ignorant is not to blame, everyone is begging for a living, and it is not easy." ”
Lu Chengfeng nodded and asked, "In that case, what did the two of you come to me for? Does it have anything to do with this ring?"
Su Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "It is indeed related to this ring, it is like this, at the time of the auction, we declared that this ring is an ancient relic from the Spirit Clan, and it is a treasure of the Spirit Clan." In fact, although the ring is indeed from the ruins, after our subsequent investigation, it was found that it was actually a mistake, and it was not worth the price. For the sake of the reputation of our mercenary squad, we have decided to recover this ring and compensate you an additional 3,000 gold!"
When Lu Chengfeng photographed this ring, he used the price of 27,000 gold coins. If it is a compensation of 3,000, it is equivalent to getting 30,000 at once.
Su Ping thought to himself, the little swordsman in front of him, who didn't seem to be rich, would definitely be tempted.
There are people at the auction who are willing to bid, and it is estimated that most of them are going to the name of the treasures of the spirit clan ruins, ready to fight for luck. But by now, that should be enough time for the little swordsman to study the ring. Once it is confirmed that it is indeed a scrap product, and he will give him another 3,000 gold compensation, then the other party will inevitably agree to return the goods, and maybe he will be grateful to Dade, and his mercenary team will have a capital to brag about!
This little abacus is perfect.
The sincerity and gratitude on Lu Chengfeng's face also seemed to confirm Su Ping's thoughts, and he said: "I have already felt the sincerity of the Blood Knife Mercenary Squad, and I am very grateful. However, I can't accept it. ”
"Okay, now that you agreed, then...... What are you talking about?" Su Ping was saying according to his own train of thought, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't help but be stunned. In these years, there will be people who can't get along with money?
That's 3,000 gold coins for nothing!
For a third-order little swordsman, three thousand gold coins was already a lot of wealth. Unless, he found out how extraordinary that ring was!
Thinking of this, Su Ping's heart immediately became worried. The biggest reason for his visit this time was that he thought that it was impossible for a third-order martial artist to discover the true mystery of that ring. However, if he really sensed something, it would be difficult for him to get the ring back without knowing it!
Facing Su Ping's suspicious gaze, Lu Chengfeng did not show any abnormality, and still said sincerely: "I can't accept your kindness, because the rules of the auction house have always been like this." Since the goods are sold, there is no room for remorse. Otherwise, those who impulsively paid a high price, or felt unsatisfactory after buying it, or regretted it afterwards, wouldn't they have an excuse to return it? Therefore, although I did look away and bought a scrap product, I was willing to bear the loss for it, so I didn't have to return it. ”
"In the world, there are really such people!"
Hearing Lu Chengfeng's explanation and his seemingly sincere expression, Su Ping, who had read countless people, was also a little puzzled for a while. He didn't know if Lu Chengfeng was really that stupid, or if he had already discovered the mystery of the Song of Psionic Energy. However, in the end, he still felt that it was impossible for a third-order swordsman to know the Song of Psionic Energy, so he decided to continue to deceive.
"No, no, no, this is a mistake by our mercenary team, and this price cannot be borne by you. ”
Su Ping put on a distressed expression, and acted with Lu Chengfeng.
"The Blood Knife Squad is really the conscience of the industry, I admire it!" Lu Chengfeng gave a thumbs up, and then his voice changed: "However, I am a person who talks about the rules. Since the auction was sold, there is absolutely no room for reversal. So you don't need to persuade me, let me keep this ring. The first is to remind yourself to have a long memory, and the second is to spread it is also a good story, which is the yin evidence of the credibility of the Blood Knife mercenary team. ”
"Please be sure to give our Blood Knife Squad a chance to clear their innocence, otherwise the honor of our mercenary squad for many years will be tarnished!"
"If you make an unintentional mistake and have the heart to make up for it, you can't talk about any defilement. On the contrary, if you want me to say that it is Gao Feng Liangjie, Su Jianshi should not be polite anymore!"
"Don't replace this wrong ring, I'm stuck in my throat, and I can't sleep!"
"Su Ping's sword master is so strict with himself, it's really embarrassing for me! But it doesn't matter, since I, the client, don't care about it, and think that this transaction is not unfair, you don't have to take it to heart, right?"
.........
What a sensational performance!
The third-order errand next to him didn't know that Lu Chengfeng was acting, but he thought it was true, and couldn't help but scold him in his heart for being a fool a hundred times. However, the wonderful performance of his vice-captain made the errand runners very admirable. All kinds of sensational lies, how can they be so true, they are worthy of being able to become a fifth-order master!
However, this is not a solution.
After all, they took the initiative to return the goods, and the excuse at the beginning was still somewhat convincing, but if they persist like this, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the other party after a long time.
Seeing that his boss was already flushed and had the momentum to go crazy, he hurriedly spoke out to relieve the siege and shouted: "Surnamed Wang, are you still finished? Thirty thousand gold coins will not lose you, such persistence, isn't it deliberately not to give us Boss Su face? Let me tell you, our Boss Su is the most face-saving. If you don't give him face, then don't blame us for not giving you face!"
"Good!"
Su Ping, who was already annoyed by Lu Chengfeng, saw that his little brother decisively came forward to threaten, so he said hello at that time. It was only when the words came to his lips that he realized that something was wrong, and quickly swallowed it back again, and said: "What he said is right, 30,000 gold coins will not let you lose, what are you not satisfied with? Don't be so stubborn, you must know how to be flexible!"
30,000 gold coins will not suffer?
If Lu Chengfeng hadn't discovered the secret of this ring, maybe he would really think so. After all, it was only a few days later, and he earned three thousand gold coins after changing hands, which is a good deal no matter how you look at it. However, he knew the secret of the Song of Psionic Energy, and he had already enjoyed the huge bonus of this ring to the cultivation of Dou Qi.
In this case, how could he put it?
In all fairness, Lu Chengfeng understood the actions of Su Ping and the Blood Knife Squad. No matter who it is, after learning that something that was originally worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins was only sold for more than 20,000 gold coins, he will definitely regret it. However, this has always been the rule of auctions. Lu Chengfeng didn't steal or rob, and got this ring from the auction with a fair bid, and that was his. No matter how much the Blood Knife Team regrets it, they can only blame themselves for being blind and rushing to the auction without seeing through the truth!
This principle, no matter where you get it, is impeccable.
Otherwise, if after the auction, anyone can destroy the auction for one reason or another, then there is no need for the entire auction system to exist.
Putting this aside, the two people in front of him came directly to the door, and they implicitly relied on the threat of force, which made Lu Chengfeng even more unacceptable. Therefore, he simply rejected Su Ping's request again, and got up to prepare to send off the guests.
At this time, the hotel clerk who was passing by also heard the quarrel, and hurriedly ran over and looked at Lu Chengfeng with inquiring eyes.
After all, Lu Chengfeng is their guest, and he has been in the bag for a long time. In this case, they naturally prioritize the maintenance of their customers. As long as Lu Chengfeng signaled, they would step forward and invite the two out.
By now, Su Ping also realized that it was impossible to return the Song of Psionic Energy at a low price. He gave up his previous kind face, and finally asked intimidatingly: "Boy, let me ask you one last time, do you give this ring or not?" I can tell you, although our Blood Knife mercenary team is not a big force, it is still easy to make a poor boy of the third order disappear from Kaiyang. I advise you, don't be ignorant, lest you lead to death!"
Finally losing patience and ready to play hard?
