Chapter 153: Buying a Horse is Difficult
Mei'er's business record was not found, and the fat man's attitude also took a 180-degree turn from yesterday, looking careless and ignoring.
Jiang Xingchen was patient and asked them to look for it again. But the fat man said impatiently: "No is no, we have been looking for it all night, and we have turned over all the places that should be turned!"
"It is impossible for the transaction record to disappear out of thin air, unless the person dies, you should always keep the record here!" After two sentences, Jiang Xingchen saw that it was not that he could not find it at all, but that the other party was unwilling to find it.
"Hmph!" the fat man sneered and said lightly: "Do you know how many business records there are every year, thousands or even tens of thousands, in eight years, no one dares to guarantee whether it will be damaged or lost...... Also, I didn't come eight years ago, so it's hard to say if the previous one was negligent!"
"That is to say, you have no trading records here!" Jiang Xingchen slowly narrowed his eyes, took the contract in his hand, and said slowly: "The contract indicates that it is you here, but you say no! I think we should find a place to talk about it!"
The fat man was stunned for a moment, and immediately changed his words: "I didn't say no, it's just that I can't find it for too long! We can continue to look for you, but we can't guarantee the time, if you are willing to wait, just wait!"
"Okay!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, stood up, and said with a gloomy face: "I think, you will definitely find it!"
"Of course!" the fat man smiled, and then said: "Is there anything else, if not, you can please, I still have to receive the people behind!"
Jiang Xingchen only felt that his anger arched upwards for a while, and he snorted coldly: "I'm waiting for you to send me the transaction record to the door!" he flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked out.
The old man squinted at the secret door behind the fat man, and also turned around and followed Jiang Xingchen away.
"Hey, hey!" the fat man looked at the backs of the two. He smiled gloomily and whispered: "I'll send you to the door, dream about it! Aren't you willing to wait, two years, three years, I'll see how long you can wait!"
At this time, a young man in blue walked out from behind the screen and said with a slight smile: "Fatty, good job!"
The fat man hurriedly bowed slightly, and put on a sycophantic smile: "Big boy." You've won the prize! I'm just doing what you tell me!"
"Do it well, your benefits will be indispensable in the future!" the eldest prince patted the fat man on the shoulder.
The fat man suddenly felt that the bones on his body were lighter, and hurriedly expressed his loyalty: "As long as the eldest prince orders, the little one must go all out!"
"Hmm!" The eldest prince nodded with satisfaction, looked at the door and said with a smile: "This Jiang Xingchen is not as evil as rumored." Young and vigorous, still waiting to be delivered to your door. Hehe......"
Outside the yard. The old man said in a low voice: "Boy, I'm afraid this matter is not very simple!"
"I can see that they are deliberately making things difficult!" Jiang Xingchen sneered and said, "I have long known that many people in Lu Dao are staring at me, but I didn't expect to run into ...... so soon I guess someone recognized me!"
"That's the case!" Old Man Tang nodded.
"Hmph, they're really scoundrels, and they can use such methods!" Jiang Xingchen frowned. Puzzled: "However, I don't seem to have any contradiction with Nanjiang Ling!"
"Nanjianghou didn't go to the food festival, you don't know! This person is very slippery, just a wall grass. It is easy not to offend people, I guess it wasn't him who did it......"
The old man shook his head, and also looked puzzled: "Who is it, this kind of unpopular means is impossible to cause any blow to you, that is, to embarrass you!"
Jiang Xingchen snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter who he is, there are many people who don't like me! I don't bother to think about it, hurry up and get back Mei'er's business records, don't delay the treatment is the most important!"
The old man was a little surprised and asked, "Boy, have you thought of a way to let Mei'er enter the Moon Shadow Kingdom?"
Jiang Xingchen smiled and nodded: "I just have some ideas, whether I can do it or not, it's not necessarily...... Old man, let's think about how to solve this matter first!"
"How to solve it, the old ancestor, I will come forward in person, does the Marquis of Nanjiang dare to refute my face......" The old man laughed smugly, and then changed his tone: "Boy, I was young and vigorous enough just now, and I talked so much, unlike you!"
"Cut! Aren't you still a young man!" Jiang Xingchen had an indifferent expression, looking even more embarrassed than the old man.
"Uh!" The old man was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Jiang Xingchen, his eyes became deep: "Yes, he is only seventeen years old, no matter how great his ability is, no matter how good his mentality is, he is still a young man......"
But as soon as he thought of this, the old man felt that something was wrong: "There is a problem, there must be a problem, with this kid's insidious cunning, there must be something hidden in that sentence just now......!
"Old man, what do you want!Let's go, hurry up and find the Marquis of Nanjiang, let's have a good look at Lanyu City when we're done......" Jiang Xingchen smiled and dragged him, and the two went straight to the Marquis's Mansion.
The meeting with Nanjiang Hou was extremely smooth, and as soon as he heard that the old man was coming, Nanjiang Hou greeted him directly outside the gate. The moment he saw Nan Jianghou, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but sigh that the old man's description was really accurate. This person is slightly chubby, his face seems to be coated with a layer of oil, all of which are a little reflective, with a kind smile, and he really looks like a wall grass with a smooth face that no one can offend.
Hearing the old man's intention, Nanjiang Hou scolded the staff for being useless, and then patted his chest and promised that this matter would be handed over to him, and he would definitely find the transaction record as soon as possible.
Declined the banquet invitation of the Marquis of Nanjiang, the old man took Jiang Xingchen out of the Hou Mansion, and said proudly: "How about the boy, my ancestor has enough face, right?"
"Of course, when the old man goes out, how can there be anything that can't be done!" Jiang Xingchen didn't hit the old man this time, but slapped a fart with a smile.
The old man was suddenly a little fluttering, since they met, this kid has never said anything like this.
"Old man, let's take a walk around Lanyu City, and then I'll invite you to eat at the best restaurant!" Jiang Xingchen looked very happy and walked forward first.
"What is the best restaurant, you can cook a meal for me yourself!" the old man muttered as he followed Jiang Xingchen forward.
The two went to the racetrack first and watched a race! Jiang Xingchen was not familiar with this thing, he was just watching a lively scene, and he had only seen it on TV in his previous life.
However, Jiang Xingchen found that the horse racing here is very simple, that is, a group of people bring their own horses to race, a game of twenty horses! The handicap only has the odds of each horse, ranking, real-time odds or anything.
In addition, the contestants can also bet against each other, and the one that does not look at the ranking, and whoever runs the fastest horse wins.
After watching a race, Jiang Xingchen dragged the old man to the horse trading market next to the racetrack.
"Boy, what are you doing here, do you want to buy a horse for the race?" asked the old man.
"Yes!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "It's interesting to watch this horse race!"
"You still have this thought, when the purchase information of the girl is found, we will go back quickly!" the old man frowned and said.
"Nanjiang Hou didn't give us a letter either, the record from eight years ago, I'm afraid we will have to find it for a few days!" Jiang Xingchen said and walked into the market.
"Boy, I advise you not to play with this, there are very few good horses in the bazaar, and they are all left over from the water...... If you buy the competition, you're throwing money away in vain!" the old man grabbed Jiang Xingchen, who was walking inside.
"Oh, and this saying!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just looking at my itchy hands and having fun!"
"If you want to have fun, go back to Luo Yu and ask for a good horse, he will definitely give you a good horse!"
"If I had known the situation here, I would have opened my mouth to Luo Yu a long time ago!" Jiang Xingchen said secretly and said, "It's okay, it's the same to buy!"
"Boy, you are really full, you don't have anything to do to throw money to play!" the old man persuaded again, but in the end he couldn't screw Jiang Xingchen and entered the market.
"This horse is not good, it is too thin and weak, and it is sick at first sight...... This is not good, the body is too big, and it will definitely not be able to run fast...... This coat color is too dark......"
The two walked all the way in, and the old man kept commenting, and no horse could enter his eyes.
After walking in the horse market for about half a month, the old man's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his eyes stopped on a pure black tall horse.
"This horse is good-looking, but it hasn't been picked off!" said the old man strangely, and stepped forward.
"Old man, you buy a horse!" a young man of about twenty years old greeted him, but he did not have the smile on his face that is common to ordinary traders, and said in a deep voice: "Say it in advance, my horse ......"
"Old man, his horse has a wound on his right front leg!" Another horse dealer next to him suddenly came over and said, "Old man, let's take a look at me, my horses here are all selected by the Orc Alliance!"
"Lu Xiaosan, what do you mean!" the young man frowned and shouted angrily.
"What do you mean, I just don't want to watch the old man be fooled!" The horse dealer named Lu Xiaosan smiled and said to the old man: "Old man, you don't want to buy a wounded horse, do you?"
"What a fool! I didn't intend to hide it!" shouted the young man, "My horse is wounded, but my price is low!
Lu Xiaosan said: "What's the use of low prices, people buy horses for racing! Your horse has lost seven or eight times in a row, and you have long lost your fighting spirit, even if you are injured, you can't win a game!"
"You!" The young man was speechless, staring at Lu Xiaosan fiercely, almost unable to help but make a move.
"What, you still want to hit me?" Okay, you can try it......" Lu Xiaosan looked at the young man with a look of disdain.
But halfway through his words, Jiang Xingchen walked up from behind and said lightly: "This horse, we want it!" (to be continued......)
