Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 429

Banks are actually pawnshops, and they can use valuables as collateral for silver.

The Xiuchun Dao was only used by three departments in Ming Dynasty, namely Cao Zhengchun’s East Factory, Yuhuatian’s West Factory, and Qinglong’s Jinyiwei. Other institutions and departments could not use the Xiuchun Dao.

As a pawn shop, it's normal for someone to use it as a weapon, but no one has ever used it as a Xiuchun knife, and the shopkeeper doesn't even know the Xiuchun knife.

The shopkeeper saw that Yuhuatian's clothes didn't look like those who were short of money, so he pawned the weapon for some reason, but he knew that this was not what he was considering, so he picked up the Xiuchun knife and looked at it carefully.

"This knife is not bad, it can be worth five taels of silver."

The shopkeeper almost amused Yuhuatian with a word, the knife is only worth five taels of silver if it is good?
The Xiuchun Knife is not only a status symbol, its forging technology and materials are top-notch, it can completely compete with the Japanese Knife and the Tang Knife, and its value is definitely above a hundred taels of silver.

The Xiuchun Knife was worth a hundred taels of silver, but the shopkeeper only gave five taels of silver. Yuhuatian had the urge to shoot him to death, but he still resisted the urge.

"Okay, five taels is five taels, the knife is yours, and the silver is mine."

Seeing that Yuhuatian didn't say anything, he simply agreed to be the knife, and the shopkeeper immediately wrote a letter to Yuhuatian, and then asked Yuhuatian to draw a pledge.

Yuhuatian took a look at the written receipt, and saw that it said that he received a steel knife today, deducting five taels of silver, and ten cash per month for interest. If the bank loses the steel knife, he will be compensated according to the price.

The monthly interest is ten cents, and the lost items are compensated according to the price. It seems reasonable, and the interest is not high, but the trouble lies in the valuation of the items.

It is impossible to sell Xiuchun Knife for five taels of silver casually. They will take it out and sell it at a high price in two days. Once you go back to redeem the knife, they will pay you five taels of silver.

But this time the shopkeeper of the bank didn't recognize the Xiuchun knife, so he was destined to lose money. Even if Yuhuatian didn't care about him, no one with a little knowledge would dare to buy the imperial court's Xiuchun knife.

"My knife is worth at least 50 taels of silver. You have to add a note on the receipt. If it is lost, you will be compensated for 50 taels of silver. Otherwise, I will not deserve this knife."

As Yuhuatian said, he picked up the Xiuchun knife and turned around to leave. The shopkeeper sneered:
"Hmph, they agreed on a good price and signed the contract. If you say you don't want to do it, you won't do it? This is because you came to our bank to look for trouble. If you want to see where our bank is, someone will give him a look."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, five or six security guards rushed into the hall to block Yuhuatian's way, and the corners of Yuhuatian's mouth could not help but bend upwards.

"Your Jinling Bank is not a black shop, is it? You actually want to buy and sell by force, aren't you afraid that I will report to the government?"

"Report to the official? Alright, you can go, but you have to keep the knife. To tell you the truth, this bank is owned by the Duke of Wei, and the emperor can't control it. You are nothing."

When Yu Huatian heard the shopkeeper's words, he immediately laughed. It really was the bank opened by Duke Wei's family. Judging from their performance today, these Dukes seem to have overshadowed the sky in Nanjing.

"I don't care who owns your bank. Since I don't think it's suitable, I'll try another one. There's a Daming pawn shop not far away. They're much more fair than you."

Yuhuatian deliberately carried out the Daming pawnshop, wanting to see the reaction of these people, and the shopkeeper's reaction did not disappoint him.

"Hahaha, Daming's pawnshop is a joke, it will cease to exist in two days, I advise you to perform the contract obediently and take down their knives."

"Yes"

The shopkeeper's face suddenly turned cold, and two security guards immediately stepped forward to stop Yuhuatian, trying to control Yuhuatian and grab the knife.

Yuhuatian's eyebrows immediately stood up, who is Yuhuatian?It's a system call. In his eyes, as long as there is an emperor, he must implement 100% of the emperor's words. Wei Guogong is nothing.

As soon as the two security guards stretched out their hands, Yu Huatian was furious, Xiu Chun drew his sword out of its sheath in an instant, a cold light flashed, the arms of the two security guards were cut off, and then they kicked them out of the bank.

This move was clean and neat, without any sloppiness, and it directly frightened the other security guards and shopkeepers.

These people are used to domineering, and no one has ever dared to say no to them. They didn't expect that their arms would be cut off today.

After all, they are all members of Xungui's family. After a moment of stupefaction, they quickly realized that they met a guy with no eyesight today. If he didn't take down Yuhuatian, Wei Guogong would have no face.

"Come here, you must take this person down and let him know how many eyes Prince Ma has."

Following the shopkeeper's order, more than a dozen people came down from upstairs, all holding swords in their hands, including two monks, one monk and one veteran.

In addition to the few people coming in from outside, Yuhuatian was besieged by more than [-] people. Some of these people were from the Jianghu, and they must be servants hired by Wei Guogong.

The monk put his hands together and said the Buddha's name:
"Amitabha, why did the benefactor hurt people? Today, this old monk is going to act for the heavens."

After the monk finished speaking, he suddenly grabbed Yuhuatian with his hands, trying to subdue Yuhuatian with one blow, at least the old monk thought so in his heart.

Yuhuatian was not in a hurry. When he saw the monk's big hand grabbing him, he didn't dodge immediately, but directly punched him. The fist and palm collided instantly, making a loud noise:
"Boom..."

"thump……"

Yuhuatian still stood with his head held high, but the monk who was still majestic just now suffered a big loss this time. He was bombarded by Yuhuatian's punch and flew upside down, falling directly on the butt stool.

"Amitabha……"

The monk sat on the ground with his old face flushed, and even his bald head gradually turned red. He stood up in embarrassment, but he didn't get up again to meet each other.

Experts stretch out their hands to know if there is any. As a practicing family, the old monk is already in a turbulent heart. It is obvious that he and his opponent are not at the same level. If he makes a move, he can only bring shame on himself.

After patting the dust off his body, the old monk left directly. It seemed that he would not be contributing to the Xu family, but went to retreat to practice.

When the Taoist saw that the monk was gone, he knew that he had encountered a master. He was different from the old monk.

"brush"

The Taoist drew out the long sword behind his back without any hesitation, took a sword flower in his hand, and stabbed Yu Huatian's chest with the long sword.

Yuhuatian's movements were not fancy, he directly slashed at the top of the Taoist's head with a knife, and a cold light came to his face. At this time, the Taoist's long sword was still half a foot away from Yuhuatian.

This is the difference in speed, and it is also a huge gap in cultivation, the two are not at the same level at all.

Although the Taoist made the first move, if he didn't withdraw his sword and retreated, Yuhuatian would cut him in half with a single blow, while Yuhuatian was safe and sound.

"Boundless..."

The Taoist's complexion changed drastically, and he couldn't even call out the Taoist name completely, so he hurriedly withdrew his sword and retreated.

But it was still a small step too late, a long gash was drawn on his chest by the sword energy of the Xiuchun knife, and the blood seeped into the Taoist uniform in an instant.

"This person is very fierce, don't fight alone, let's fight together..."

The shopkeeper saw that something was wrong, and immediately asked everyone to beat Yuhuatian together.

Twenty or so people rushed up each armed with weapons, Yuhuatian snorted coldly, Xiuchun knife drew a cold light, and five people's limbs were cut off in an instant.
