A knife in love

Chapter 3009

The gray-clothed old man spoke up to this point, glanced at the green-robed old man, and continued, "I met Bao Xi by chance, and heard about the origin of this jade scale from him. Take it to heart. I didn’t expect that after many years, this old man would be able to see this priceless treasure with his own eyes. It’s really heartbreaking to think of how many heroes died because of this treasure.”

The old man in green robe only cared about how much money this jade scale could mortgage, and he didn't care about Wu Zetian, Shangguan Wan'er, Bao Xi and others at all. Hearing what the old man in gray clothes said, he felt more and more happy in his heart. It's Hetai Dang's great imperial envoy, so he is naturally a person who knows the goods.He valued this jade scale so much, he would definitely spend a lot of money.Thinking of this, the green-robed old man chuckled, and said: "Dachao Feng knows the pearl with his eyes, and knowing the origin of this jade scale also gave us a lot of knowledge. Since Dachao Feng attaches so much importance to this treasure, I don't know how to get it." How much silver do you pledge?"

After the green-robed old man finished speaking, he fixed his eyes on the gray-clothed old man.The short fat man and the man in the yellow shirt also showed greedy eyes, and they kept walking around on the jade scale.The big man surnamed Yue hiding in the corner of the counter thought to himself, if this jade scale fell into my hands, at least a few thousand taels of silver could be exchanged.With this money, I can go gamble a lot.It's a pity that this treasure doesn't belong to Lao Tzu, what a pity!

At this time, there was silence in Hetai, and everyone was staring at the jade scale on the counter.After a while, I heard the old man in gray say word by word: "The old man has said before that this thing is a priceless treasure and cannot be valued in silver. He Taidang, exchange some silver for emergencies. I just don’t know how much silver you want to use this treasure as a mortgage?”

Hearing what the gray-clothed old man said, the green-robed old man was stunned. He glanced at the commoner-clothed old man, turned his head and said to the young man standing in front of the screen, "My lord, how much money do you plan to pawn with this jade scale?"

The green-robed old man glared at the young man viciously while speaking.At this time, his back was facing the counter, Li Qiufeng and others couldn't see his face, but they were terrified when they saw the young man's horrified expression.It's just that the terrified expression on the boy's face was fleeting, and he returned to normal in an instant.He thought for a while, and then said to the green robed old man: "This matter is entirely up to Mr. Wu."

After Li Qiufeng and the others listened to the young man's words, they realized that the old man in green robe was originally named Wu.The old man in the green robe smiled and said: "Since the young master talks like this, I have no choice but to refrain from doing it."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and strode towards the counter, and said to the gray-clothed old man: "This jade scale is a priceless treasure, and it should not be mortgaged at first, but my son needs a sum of money for emergency, so I have to mortgage it." Give it to Hetai. Da Chaofeng is a person who knows the goods, so he naturally knows the value of this thing. I think this jade scale is enough to mortgage 3 taels of silver. Da Chaofeng will think that I am a lion and open his mouth?"

After everyone heard the old man in green robe finish speaking, everyone's heart trembled.Murong Danyan thought to himself, although this jade scale is a rare treasure, it is not worth 3 taels of silver.If someone takes out 3 taels of silver, which is enough to buy back ten pieces of such jade, and then asks a master craftsman to weigh it into a jade scale, I am afraid that there will be thousands of taels of silver left.Lao Tzu in Qingpao said he was not a lion and opened his mouth, didn't he see a ghost? !
Thinking of this, Murong Danyan thought that the gray-clothed old man would definitely refuse, but unexpectedly, the gray-clothed old man nodded and said, "Why is this treasure only worth 3 taels of silver? The guest officer uses it as collateral for 3 taels of silver." , That's a great face for the old man. Since the guest officer is so straightforward, the old man naturally can't let the guest officer suffer. We and Taidang accepted this jade scale, and the silver is 5 taels. The current period is six months. Is the officer satisfied?"

As soon as the old man in gray said this, everyone in Hetai was shocked.The eyes of the old man in green robe, the short fat man, and the man in yellow shirt were even brighter, almost shouting with joy.Seeing the green-robed old man's eyes wide open, the gray-clothed old man smiled slightly, and said with a surprised look on his face, "Why, don't you think there are too few guests?"

At this time, the green robed old man was both pleasantly surprised and regretful.The good news is that not only did the gray-clothed old man not lower the price, but he actually paid 2 taels more than his asking price.In this way, he took 5 taels of silver, so why bother to hang around in the rivers and lakes?If you can go to the south of the Yangtze River and buy hundreds of acres of fertile land, how happy is it to be a rich and carefree man? !Thinking of this, he was extremely happy in his heart, but seeing the appearance of the old man in gray, he knew that he valued this jade scale very much, even if he asked for 10 taels of silver, this old guy would probably agree.It's a pity that I have already spoken my words, and if I want to go back on my words, I'm afraid this old guy may not be willing to submit.The opportunity was missed, what a pity, what a pity.

The gray-clothed old man saw the strange expression on the green-robed old man's face, guessed what was on his mind, and said, "If the guest officer is still not satisfied, you can go to other pawnshops to try your luck. But the old man thinks that on Songtian Rock Island, there will be 5 pawnshops. Ten thousand taels of silver to accept this pawn shop with a jade scale, I am afraid there will be no second one."

Hearing what the gray-clothed old man said, the green-robed old man knew that there was something in the gray-clothed old man's words, and reminded him that this shop would disappear after passing through this village, so he had to make a decision early.Therefore, the green-robed old man shook his heart, laughed dryly twice, and said in his mouth: "The Dachao Feng is really straightforward, and I can't be ignorant! Well, this jade scale will be mortgaged to Hetai!"

The gray-clothed old man nodded after hearing what the green-robed old man had said, and was about to speak when he suddenly heard the clerk standing outside the counter tremblingly saying: "Big, big court, small, small one has something to report, please, please." Don't blame Da Chaofeng."

The gray-clothed old man glanced at the waiter, and said: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't worry too much."

The clerk agreed, and said respectfully: "Da Chaofeng, the silver deposits in our shop have always been around 1 yuan, but last month the shopkeeper Wu of Banyuetang was doing business and asked the shopkeeper to give him a sum of money. All of us Knowing that the shopkeeper and Wu shopkeeper have always been on good terms, and the two of them borrowed from each other, we naturally have nothing to say, so we lent Wu shopkeeper more than 5 taels of silver. Right now, our pawn shop only has more than [-] taels of cash in cash, which is [-] taels away. The amount of two denarii is still far behind."

The old man in gray raised his eyebrows and said, "How much silver is left in the treasury?"

The clerk trembled, looked up at the gray-clothed old man, and saw that he was staring at him, he hurriedly lowered his head again, and said in a trembling voice: "There is less than 5000 taels of silver in the treasury. I can only scrape together more than [-] taels of silver."

The old man in gray frowned after hearing what the man said, and then said to the man, "Can you borrow 3 taels of silver from other pawnshops?"
