Wujiang City, a small city located on the border of Zhongzhou, belongs to Qi'an County of the Dagao Dynasty, close to the mountains of Wanli in the west and the Qinhe grassland.

Due to its special location, Munro's iron cavalry almost leveled this small city twenty years ago. Now, the war has been extinguished, after more than ten years of recuperation, the economy and trade of the small city of Wujiang have finally gradually recovered, businessmen from the south to the north, all kinds of passers-by, all kinds of passers-by have to pass through this place, and the streets are also very lively.

Compared with the geographical location, the most prestigious thing in Wujiang town is the sauce hoof of this property, it is said that the hoof is fragrant in the mouth, the meat is fatty and tender, the sauce is sweet and mellow, and the reputation is outside, almost every household has such a craft, and some business travelers even come to the local sauce hoof. In the former Great Chu Dynasty, the hooves here were even a tribute to the imperial court.

Wantong Bank, all over the world, not only operates silver money operation, but also operates pawnshop business. Almost every town and town can see Vantone branches. It is said that Wantong Qianzhuang is rich and rivals the country, and the silver stamps printed are common all over the world, and the network of Wan Rongkun, the boss of the bank, is all over the Central Plains, and almost every state official is its backstage.

Wang Youliang, the shopkeeper of Wantong Bank's branch in Wujiang, often walks around the counter every day to see the people coming and going, paying attention to the business situation, or looking for good goods from the rags collected by the pawnshop. The life of a rich person is always different from that of ordinary people.

Today, Wang Youliang went to the counter to hang out again with nothing to do, and suddenly saw a slender and handsome young man walking in at the door, but the clothes worn by this young man were not only shabby, but also short and wrinkled, which was very ill-fitting. Wang Youliang stood on the high counter, seeing that this young man was dressed like this, his nostrils snorted, and he didn't plan to find any good goods from the bottom of his heart.

"This son, are you here to be a thing?" Seeing that the shopkeeper was next to him, the young man was quite quick and did not neglect the guests.

"That's natural, I just don't know if the pawnshop shopkeeper knows the goods?" the young man said to Wang Youliang.

"Hmph!" Wang Youliang snorted coldly in his nostrils and said, "For so many years, there has not been a time when I have looked away! Your Excellency has something good, just take it out!"

After hearing this, the young man smiled faintly, untied the package behind him, and opened it carefully, and suddenly, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire pawnshop lobby!

What kind of rare medicinal herb is this! Wang Youliang and his companions were all shocked.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know if you can read the goods?" the young man held a blood-flowing medicinal herb in his hand and handed it to the high counter.

"Could it be blood ginseng? Such a big size, the year looks like seven or eight hundred years!" Rao is Wang Youliang has been in business for many years, and his eyes are vicious, and he has to be moved at this moment. Blood ginseng, a rare medicinal material, is rare in the world, let alone for such a long time!

The young man's face looked very calm and calm: "Yes, eight hundred years of blood ginseng, as 20,000 taels of silver!"

Wang Youliang had already recovered from the shock at this time, he knew in his heart that the eight-hundred-year-old blood ginseng should be worth this price, even if it was 20,000 taels, such immortal medicinal materials, after accepting it himself, he would turn around and sell it, with his own channels, I don't know how much he would make back!

Although he thought so in his heart, Wang Youliang still said quietly on his face: "Your Excellency's price is inevitably too high! Although this blood ginseng is rare, it is not too precious, so let's do it, fifteen thousand taels!"

The young man smiled coldly when he heard this, and said: "The shopkeeper doesn't have to deceive himself, you and I know the value of eight hundred years of blood ginseng in our hearts, if you don't accept it, I think there are still many people who accept this blood ginseng!"

When such a treasure of heaven and earth arrives in his hands, how can he let it flow away again? Knowing that the young man in front of him wants to be captured, Wang Youliang has no choice but to take the bait. Gritted his teeth, pretended to be a little painful, and said, "Just as Your Excellency wants, 20,000 taels!

"Slow down, shopkeeper, I've changed my mind, twenty-two thousand taels, what do you think?" the young man's smile contained a hint of wisdom.

This kid must have seen that he was reluctant to accept this blood ginseng, and it seems that he has eaten himself today! It doesn't matter, after the change of hands, he will definitely be able to take it back with interest!

Wang Youliang said with a smile: "Seeing that Your Excellency is the first time to come to this pawnshop, you should make a friend, 22,000 taels, man, open a pawn ticket, and pay silver!"

Some couldn't put it down and stroked the blood ginseng flowing with blood, Wang Youliang asked Xiang Shuixie in a low voice: "Can Gongzi reveal a piece of news, may I ask if Gongzi is dead or alive? If it is dead, you can also privately add 500 taels to Gongzi." ”

In the land of Chunwu, the general pawnshop period is only three months, if you don't come to pick it up after three months, the things you should be will become a dead pawn, and you can dispose of it casually by the pawnshop. If it comes to redemption in three months, it is called a living pawn. Of course, the pawnshop owner likes to die in this way.

Wang Youliang's question is very meaningful, if you know now that blood ginseng is dead, then you don't have to wait for three months, you can sell it tomorrow, otherwise this kind of natural treasure is in your hands, so as not to have many dreams at night, and be known by the chief helm, not only can the money not enter your own pocket, but also lead to some unnecessary trouble.

"Die!" the young man said the answer that satisfied Wang Youliang the most.

"Great!" Wang Youliang's joy could not be concealed: "There is still some time to come back from the guy's money, why don't you have a good chat with the son?"

Shui Xie looked at it, and it was really five silver tickets of one hundred taels, and then put them in his sleeve, smiled faintly, and said: "The shopkeeper is really refreshing!"

Wang Youliang smiled and said: "That's natural, if the son has any good medicinal materials in the future, they can be sent here, as for the price, once raw and twice cooked, everyone can discuss." ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Wang Youliang lowered his voice again and said, "Dare to ask Gongzi, is it convenient to reveal where this medicinal material came from?"

Hearing this, Shui Xie still didn't understand what the old fox in front of him was calculating, I was afraid that after he told him where the medicinal herbs were, this guy ran away.

Thinking of this, Shui Xie smiled faintly: "The shopkeeper is talking like this, it seems to be angry." But it doesn't matter, this 800-year-old blood ginseng was obtained on the edge of the western frontier!"

As soon as Wang Youliang heard the reason, Wujiangcheng was originally next to the mountainous area of Western Xinjiang, and it was not uncommon to get medicinal materials from Western Xinjiang to sell here, so he said: "I see, thank you for your honesty, but I don't know if my brother has other rare medicinal materials to sell?"

Shuixie pretended to be embarrassed: "It's really gone, in the next mortal, I can only wander around the edge of the western frontier, and I happened to encounter this blood ginseng." I think there must be many rare medicinal materials in the deep mountains, but there are too many fierce beasts, and although the medicinal materials are good, we must have a life to take them, right?"

Wang Youliang laughed twice when he heard it, but did not answer.

At this time, the guy had already picked up the silver tickets of 22,000 taels and sent them over: "Son, you order, each silver ticket is 1,000 taels, a total of 22 pieces, and you can exchange silver taels at any Wantong money bank in the world." ”

Shui Xie took it and put it directly into his sleeve, and said with a smile: "No need to order, the reputation of Wantong Money is still very convincing, and there are still some things to deal with below, so I will leave." With that, he bowed his hand to the shopkeeper and the man, and turned to leave.

Wang Youliang watched the water pavilion leave, and said to the young man in a low voice: "I think this young man is not simple, you follow quietly, be smart." ”

"Okay, shopkeeper, just take a look!" said the man, with a wicked smile on his face, and secretly followed.

With the similar mid-stage divine consciousness of the Water Pavilion Heaven and Earth, how could he not hear the whispers of these two people behind him? With his own strength, of course, he was not afraid of what these two people would do. So I pretended not to know and went shopping.

After a while, the water pavilion walked out of a ready-to-wear shop, and the short, crumpled clothes of his previous body were gone, replaced by a beautiful purple gown, embroidered with white flower branches at the top and bottom, with a raised neckline, gold trimmed, and a wide jade belt around his waist. Personable, although he doesn't seem to be a big man, he is also a solid family.

Since the state of mind cultivation of the Water Pavilion has reached a similar level of heaven and earth, every gesture faintly exudes a free and detached temperament. In the crowds of people on the street, it is indeed quite eye-catching.

Since I was a child, I have been isolated in the mountains, when has I seen such a town in the water pavilion and when I have seen so many people, I still have a sense of freshness in my heart, I want to see everything, and I will stay in front of each shop for a while, and play with it.

And the guy quietly followed the water pavilion for an afternoon, and saw him wandering left and right, from the south of the city to the north of the city, and then back to the south of the city, and he was half dead tired, so he returned in a huff and reported what he had seen and heard to the shopkeeper. When Wang Youliang heard this, he regarded the water pavilion as a hillbilly who had just entered the city, and did not pay more attention to it.

......

"Grandpa, eldest brother and second brother, I didn't expect this small town in Wujiang to be so lively in a remote place!"

At this time, three young people came from the other end of the bazaar, dressed luxuriously, all of them looked like children of rich families, and an elderly man in good spirits walked behind the three people, and followed by two middle-aged people, with cautious expressions, looking like the bodyguards of the three sons. The one who spoke just now was the shortest and thinnest young man among them, and it should be the younger brother.

Although the young man at the forefront has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, his face has a heroic air and his eyes are full of wisdom. After listening to his brother's words, he smiled and said: "Xiaohan, don't stay at home all the time in the future, you should go out for a walk more, and you should also pay attention to the family's business." ”

And the young man named Xiaohan listened to his brother's words, pouted, and said: "Big brother, what you say is really unreasonable, it's not that my father won't let me run around, I'm worried that something will happen when I come out, if it weren't for this soft grinding and hard bubble, how could my father allow me to go out for a walk with my grandfather, eldest brother and second brother!"

"Haha!" At this time, the second child laughed: "I said big brother, don't be embarrassed for Xiaohan, I think his body is bones, or it is most appropriate to stay at home and embroider!"

"Haha!" the eldest laughed heartily when he heard the second child's words.

"Grandpa, you see they always gang up to bully me, and they have always been like this since I was a child. The young man named Xiao Han shook the old man's sleeve and said indignantly.

"Huh. The grandfather stroked his beard, looked doting, and said with a smile: "I have watched you grow up since I was a child, you are the youngest in the family, how much your two brothers love you, don't you know?"

"Hmph, even grandpa doesn't call the shots for me anymore. Xiao Han snorted indignantly and no longer bothered with the two elder brothers.

The group began to laugh, and even the two bodyguards couldn't help laughing, causing the pedestrians on the street to look sideways.

And these conversations were all passed into the ears of the water pavilion not far away.
