Chapter 308: Selling Yourself
This time I went out, and there were a lot of things to buy, so the list was lined up. It is difficult to go out on the same day and return on the same day, and you want to stay at the guest house.
Chen Tang took the four of them to the door of the famous Yuelai Inn.
Ah Qiang looked up and saw the wide faΓ§ade, and couldn't help but snort: "Childe, it's very expensive to spend one night here, right?"
Chen Tang glanced at him: "If the four of you live in one room, it will be cheap." β
Cuong asked again, "Can we change places?"
Chen Tang waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll pay for the room." β
He immediately walked in and asked the shopkeeper to open two rooms.
Seeing Chen Tang paying, Ah Qiang was secretly speechless, and his attitude was more respectful. In fact, this money is not much, but they have rarely seen the world, and tens of dollars are already a lot of money.
Chen Tang instructed: "You just stay in the room honestly and don't run around." Otherwise, I don't care if something happens. β
"Yes. β
The four of them agreed in unison and entered the room with their things.
Chen Tang carried the sword box on his back and rode out to exchange money. After thinking about it, I still went to the Juyuanfang last time.
Two visits to exchange, it is inevitable to reveal clues, but in the absence of a better choice, it can only be so. Fortunately, there was a period of time between the periods, and there was no big problem.
When I entered the pawnshop, I saw that there were a few customers inside, and the business seemed to be good.
In such a situation, a business like a pawnshop will naturally flourish.
"Oh, you're here!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper looked up and saw Chen Tang coming in, and immediately greeted him warmly and ran out to greet him in person.
Chen Tang asked, "Do you remember me?"
"Don't dare to forget. β
The middle-aged shopkeeper is full of smiles, he sits here, and his eyes and memory are self-contained. Coupled with Chen Tang's paralyzed face, it is easy to impress.
Just remember, don't talk nonsense, Chen Tang took the burden: "It's the same." β
"Okay, okay, please come in and sit in the private room for a while. β
There is a private room in the pawnshop, which is specially designed for guests to take a break. After all, some transactions are of extraordinary value and will be difficult to complete for a while.
Chen Tang stepped in, turned to the back, and sat down. Looking up, I saw that the furnishings were elegant, and there were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. However, this breath is not too strong, and it looks thin. If it weren't for the fact that the literary qi was of little use to him, Chen Tang would have thought about quietly absorbing it.
Soon, a delicate maid served fragrant tea and snacks.
Chen Tang glanced at it and ignored it.
The middle-aged shopkeeper sat on the other side, opened the baggage, and his eyes were full of jewels.
This time, Chen Tang brought fewer things than the last time, but the pieces were good and of good quality.
After two sales, there was only a small half left of those two boxes. The rest are rare and boutiques, and it is not easy to see people. In the future, unless there is an extreme lack of money, it will not be moved again, and it will be kept as a collection.
The middle-aged shopkeeper had a happy face, and the last pawn, he made a fortune and was rewarded by the owner, this time it was not much better. What's more, the captain of the Nine Doors is sitting here. He hurriedly took out an abacus and crackled it. While calculating, I thought to myself, didn't the other party find a treasure? Otherwise, how could he get so much money.
After about two quarters of an hour, the middle-aged shopkeeper calculated it, raised his head and said, "Lord Captain, this time, in order to show sincerity, the price in the store is willing to give one percent more." β
Chen Tang sighed and asked indifferently, "What's the point?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper sighed, stood up, and saluted respectfully: "Please help if you have something." β
Chen Tang's expression did not move: "Let's talk about it first." β
The middle-aged shopkeeper said: "The owner of this Juyuan Fang is the Fan family. However, in recent days, my proprietor's son came to Gaocheng to raise some business, but unexpectedly something went wrong. β
Fan's?
For the first time, Chen Tang thought of Fan Yuan who he met on the street last time. But at that time, they only looked at each other and didn't talk to each other at all. Originally, he didn't have much friendship, Chen Tang wore a face again, and he didn't bother to speak.
If the guess is correct, it is this Fan Juren who is in trouble.
Chen Tang didn't break it, and said: "That's the problem, I'm just afraid of weirdness." β
The middle-aged shopkeeper replied honestly: "Yes, otherwise, there is no need to bother the captain." The urgency of the incident was the other day. Today coincides with the arrival of the Captain, and I will boldly open my mouth, please go and see if there is a solution. β
Chen Tang was not in a hurry to agree, and asked, "What's going on?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper groaned slightly and said, "I don't know the detailed process. I know that my son-in-law once went out and met a beautiful woman who sold herself to a funeral on the street......"
Selling a funeral man?
This statement is a bit new, because the general routine is to sell the body of the funeral man.
"The woman was about thirty years old, and was born bewitching, while her dead husband was ugly, rather obscene, and shriveled. My son-in-law immediately took a fancy to this girl, so he paid for her and bought her back. In the beginning, there was no abnormality. Although the son is greedy for women and has fun day and night, this is also human nature. β
"And then?"
Chen Tang asked.
"A few days ago, my son-in-law gradually showed some weirdness, upside down, as if he was stunned. β
"Devils?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, and he said: "I'm really indescribable, I need to see it with your own eyes to be clear." β
Chen Tang raised his eyebrows and thought about it.
The middle-aged shopkeeper hurriedly said: "If the adults help me and save my son-in-law, I will have a rich reward to offer." β
Chen Tang said slowly: "You settle the money for me this time first." β
"No problem. β
The middle-aged shopkeeper was busy and instructed the maid who was standing. Soon, he was sent out with a large bag of money.
Chen Tang took it, opened it, roughly calculated the number, and then packed it.
The middle-aged shopkeeper accompanied him and asked carefully, "What about my son-in-law?"
Chen Tang replied: "I'm in Gaocheng, and I have another business trip." I'll think about it before I reply. β
As he spoke, he stepped out, and when he arrived at the door, Huo Ran stood and looked back: "Also, I don't like to be followed." If such a thing is discovered, Hugh blames me for being unkind. β
"Understood, understood. β
Although the middle-aged shopkeeper really wanted to keep Chen Tang, he also knew that if he did this, he would only make enemies with the other party and would not be able to please him. The strange thing that happened to Gongzi was that the guards with high martial arts were helpless, and as for the yamen's fast arresting officials, they were even more out of the stream. happened to meet Chen Tang, the captain of the Nine Gates, so he invited him. And the nine doors have always been mysterious, and there are not many people in them, and they often don't go out until they take on the task. In general, it is difficult to come across.
This matter has also been sent to the state and county and reported to the Fan family to know, but the distance is long, and I don't know how long it will take to send someone over there.
After thinking about it, the middle-aged shopkeeper gritted his teeth, ordered his subordinates to say a few words, and went back to tell him first.
