(Book friend group 213142008 recruiting, genuine readers, please add!)
From Datang Township to Gaocheng, the distance is not short, and the road is even more difficult. At a normal speed, it takes two or three hours. It is to go out with people from Datang Township, usually once a month, and spend the night in Gaocheng, and then return with things the next day.
Chen Tang and Su Ling rode on rouge horses, let the horses gallop, and quickly crossed the mountains, saving at least half of the time.
When he got outside, Chen Tang put on a Mowgli face.
When Su Ling saw it, his big eyes blinked, and he thought it was a trick.
Chen Tang confessed: "This identity is easy to do. ”
Su Ling nodded and said, "Understood." I couldn't help but reach over and touch it, and it felt extremely real.
The weather was cold, the clothes were thick, and the two rode together, but there was not much charm to speak of. It was almost noon and arrived outside Gaocheng.
Chen Tang asked, "Ah Ling, have you ever been to this city?"
Su Ling shook his head: "No, Uncle Yan took us on a different road that day, and after entering the village, I never came out again." ”
Chen Tang advised: "After entering the city, follow me." ”
"Good. ”
The two dismounted and led their horses towards the city gate.
There were soldiers guarding the door, each with a spear in his hand. However, it is not like Fenglin County, where wanted criminals are wanted.
"Stop!"
Seeing Chen Tang's unfamiliar face and leading the horse again, a soldier immediately shouted.
Chen Tang directly showed Mo Shaochun's token: "Nine doors are on an errand." ”
Sure enough, when the soldiers saw it, they were immediately in awe, and their faces were full of smiles. I didn't dare to come forward to find out the authenticity at all, and let him go immediately.
Chen Tang has long been accustomed to this, and all the way, he has used this set of tricks unimpeded.
Calculate the time, this identity can still be used for a period of time, and I am not afraid of the East Window incident. However, it can't be forever, there will definitely be an official letter to the state government from Fenglin County. After a long time, the nine doors will react and step up the investigation in this regard. At that time, the risk factor will be larger.
Gaocheng is an ancient city, it is said that the city was built for nearly a thousand years and has gone through vicissitudes. In the entire Qinzhou region, Gaocheng is also one of the few large towns.
After entering the city, Chen Tang took a few glances and knew that the order of the city was acceptable, and the popularity was passable, which was not comparable to places such as Fenglin County.
In this way, at least there is a market for buying and selling.
"Brother Jin, where are we going to exchange money?"
Su Ling asked, the baggage is full of gold and silver utensils, which are not easy to circulate, so they have to be exchanged for standard money first.
Chen Tang said: "Qian Zhuang, or pawnshop, just look for the most famous in the city." ”
In the Yin country, the existence of money is still a rarity, but pawnshops are common. After asking a few passers-by, there was a direction. About two quarters of an hour later, they came to a large pawnshop called "Juyuanfang".
"Shopkeeper, be a thing!"
Chen Tang stood outside the high fence and shouted loudly.
A middle-aged man sat inside and said lazily, "I've taken the things and looked at them." ”
Pawnshops have a long history, and since ancient times, they have taken the road of a million profits. No matter what good things are, when they get here, they will become "tattered", and they will directly say "the bare board is hairless, and insects eat rats". In this line, the water is extremely deep.
Clank!
A token falls on it.
The middle-aged man looked up and saw the word "Jiu" on the token, he was taken aback, and hurriedly got up: "It turned out that the uncle of the nine doors came, and he was lazy, but please use tea inside." ”
Chen Tang waved his hand: "No need, I'm in a hurry to use money." ”
The middle-aged man had a difficult face: "Master Captain, you really don't dare to accept this brand." If I'm short on money, I can still make the decision and give a few hundred dollars. If it is more, I will have to ask my owner to call the shots. ”
With the turmoil of the times, the two major forces of Bingjia and Nine Doors can be said to be in the limelight and very majestic. The shopkeeper thought that Chen Tang was holding a token to fight the autumn wind, although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to offend easily.
Chen Tang smiled, reached out to take back the sign, and handed over the burden: "What I want to be is these things, directly exchange for money, you count, how much." ”
The pawnshop is deep in water, and there are many problems, and he is too lazy to argue with the other party, so he first throws out a sign to scare people, so as not to make a moth and cause trouble in vain.
The shopkeeper took the burden, opened it and looked at it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the color of greed flashed. But soon, he thought of the problem of identity, this single transaction, he had to collect a little, and he didn't dare to mess around. It's not that I'm really afraid of a captain of the Nine Doors, there are also people behind Juyuanfang. The problem is that there is no need to do anything about this. It's going to be noisy, and it's not good-looking.
Although these gold and silver artifacts are of great value, they are far from being rare treasures.
"Master Captain, you should also know about the recent market, prices are soaring, and it is not easy to do any trading, so the price is ......"
The middle-aged man said with a deep groan.
Chen Tang sneered: "I won't force you to earn it, but I can't take it too ruthlessly." Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face. ”
"Okay, okay. ”
The shopkeeper replied in a loud voice and began to count. After waiting for a while, he calculated the number and handed it out: "Look, this number, is it okay?"
Chen Tang glanced at it, and it was generally lower than the psychological price, but it was not much lower. As the other party said, when the market went down, he said: "Okay, you exchange money and come out, don't make a little money." ”
"Yes. ”
The shopkeeper smiled, this is a big deal, through his hands, he can take some of it.
It took more than a quarter of an hour to calculate all the money and give it to Chen Tang.
Chen Tang took it and took some of it out, and the rest was beaten into a burden and heavy.
Su Ling had never seen so much money, and his face was dull. Although she doesn't want to show clues, she is young after all, how can she have such a deep city?
"Ah Ling, you take it. ”
Chen Tang handed over the burden, and Su Ling immediately hugged it tightly.
"Gone. ”
Chen Tang waved his hand and took the lead in leaving, and Su Ling followed suit, almost following closely.
In the pawnshop behind, the shopkeeper's eyes gradually became gloomy, and after a while, he sighed and muttered: "If you have the ability, you can make money on an errand in the nine doors." A casual sum of money is tens of thousands of assets. Tsk, it's a pity, it's a school captain, if it's a doorman...... Hey, I can't get so much ...... if I think of that guest."
When he arrived on the street outside, Chen Tang looked at Su Ling, who looked nervous, and said with a smile: "Ah Ling, with your expression, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?"
Su Ling was stunned: "What do you mean 'there are no silver three hundred taels here'?"
Chen Tang briefly told the story.
After hearing this, Su Ling sneered: "This person is really stupid." ”
Chen Tang smiled: "So, don't hold your burden so tightly, people will know that there is a problem when they see it." ”
Su Ling's face turned red: "I haven't taken so much money, Brother Jin, it's better for you to take it." ”
"That's fine. ”
Chen Tang stretched out his hand and brought it over, he was already carrying the sword box, but the many burdens were nothing.
"So where are we going now?"
Su Ling asked.
Chen Tang smiled: "If you have money, of course you have to spend it." ”
