Water Margin people

"Come on, let's go into the city!"

Sun Lei looked like a nouveau riche, and headed towards Yangzhou city without caring about his relatives.

Although Lu Zhishen was not used to it, he still followed with the pure gold staff. The sound of gold colliding on the staff attracted many people.

As for the guards, they were all dressed in silk and satin, holding whistles, and looked very arrogant.

At the gate of Yangzhou, the city guard saw a group of nouveau riche coming arrogantly and immediately became nervous.

"Who are you?"

The city guard stopped Sun Lei and others and asked.

“We are merchants passing through!”

Sun Lei smiled and shook his clothes, making a clinking sound of metal, and he reeked of money.

"Where's the pass?"

The city guard looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"promise!"

A guard beside Sun Lei took out a pass and handed it over, on which were clearly written everyone's names and whereabouts.

The city guard looked at the pass carefully, and after confirming it was authentic, he checked the personnel again, and only let them pass after confirming that they were all correct.

"Are all the people in Hedong so rich?"

The city guard shook his head as he looked at Sun Lei's clothes covered in gold, silver and jewelry.

"Are those people from Hedong?"

Several guards asked curiously.

"Yes, it's so original! He is really rich!"

The city guard nodded.

"I heard that people over there do business with the grasslands. They imported cattle, sheep and horses, and they can make a lot of money by reselling them!"

The guards spoke up.

"That's not surprising. He's probably a playboy from a big family. He can't be controlled and is driven out to cause trouble to others."

The city guard officer spoke.

"Won't that bring disaster to our Yangzhou?"

The guards immediately became worried. They were the ones who let the person into the city today, and if anything happened, the prefect would hold them accountable.

"It's none of our business. They have a pass, so we can only let them go."

The city guard said that the pass clearly stated the origins of these people and their proof of innocence, so they had no reason to refuse them entry into the city.

After entering the city, Sun Lei paraded around the streets with his men.

Yangzhou City is a bustling and prosperous place with many wealthy families, but it is rare to see such ostentatious nouveau riche.

"It is said that fireworks are set off in Yangzhou in March! Yangzhou City is nothing but this!"

Sun Lei looked at Yangzhou City and said arrogantly.

"Be bold!"

On the second floor of a restaurant, several wealthy young men were furious and pointed at the nouveau riche Sun Lei and shouted.

"How dare this country bumpkin speak so arrogantly?"

The other young masters also roared.

"Where did this crow come from? It's so noisy!"

Sun Lei looked at those young masters and said with disdain.

"How dare you! You outsiders really don't know your place!"

Those young masters were furious and rushed down the restaurant with their men, intercepting Sun Lei and others on the road.

"You poor bastards, get out of here. I don't want to be associated with you poor bastards."

Sun Lei said as he looked at the young men in front of him.

These young men were wearing robes that were very common among students. They looked relatively clean, without any silk or satin. This was also the character of scholars. Scholars cared most about their reputation, so it didn't matter if they dressed like a nouveau riche.

However, this clean and refreshing outfit became shabby in Sun Lei's mouth.

Those young masters were furious. They all came from wealthy families. The worst one was a local tycoon, and the oldest one was the son of a prefect.

"Where did you come from? This is Yangzhou City!"

A young man was furious.

"What's wrong with Yangzhou City? I have money, it's no problem to buy it!"

Sun Lei said arrogantly, "Buy Yangzhou City? How bold! Do you know how much Yangzhou City is worth?"

The local people of Yangzhou who were watching were all laughing and making a fuss. They were from Yangzhou and had feelings for Yangzhou. They were very dissatisfied that a tycoon from another place dared to speak like that.

"I have it no matter how much money it costs!"

Sun Lei took out a stack of gold bills from his arms.

The people of Yangzhou are proud of their vision. Those gold notes are the highest grade of currency, and one can be exchanged for 10,000 silver coins.

"Country bumpkin, it's just a few dozen gold notes, what can you buy? Have you never seen the world?"

A young man said disdainfully that it was not like they had never seen money before. It was just a few hundred thousand silver coins, which was nothing compared to Yangzhou City.

"Humph!"

Sun Lei clapped his hands.

Two guards immediately came up carrying a box. When they opened it, they found it was full of gold bills.

"Who is the bumpkin?"

Sun Lei looked at those young masters and said.

Those young masters were also stunned. They didn't expect that these country bumpkins in front of them were really rich. How much would a box of gold notes be worth?

"It must be fake. There is only a layer of gold notes on the top and white paper underneath!"

Some people realized that although the merchants in Hedong were rich, how could a playboy go out with so much money?

"Fake? You think I'm a bunch of country bumpkins like you! Take a look for yourself!"

Sun Lei pointed at the gold notes in the box and said.

A guard took out several stacks of gold notes and showed them to everyone.

“They really are all golden tickets!”

"So much money!"

"There are also gold tickets all down there!"

"How much does this cost? Ten million?"

……

The onlookers began to whisper to each other. They finally realized that this nouveau riche was serious when he bought Yangzhou City.

The faces of those young men who blocked the road turned pale. Although they were rich, it was impossible for them to take out so much cash at once.

"Yangzhou City is nothing special!"

Sun Lei waved his hand, and the guards immediately stepped forward to disperse the young masters and their followers.

Only then did Sun Lei feel satisfied and continue to parade around the city with his men.

"There's nothing fun to do in Yangzhou! It's boring! If I had known, I would have taken a boat to Suzhou and Hangzhou! There's heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below!"

Sun Lei still spoke arrogantly.

We walked to a busy street and heard the sounds of hawking.

When Sun Lei saw the lively place, he immediately led people into a teahouse.

"The waiter is serving tea!"

Sun Lei sat down and shouted to the waiter.

"Objective, you don't have any tea leaves!"

The waiter came over with a kettle, smiling. Seeing that there was no tea in front of Sun Lei, he smiled and shook his head.

"I want to drink tea, don't give me these unnecessary things. If you don't have tea, go prepare it yourself! If you don't serve me well, I will tear down your crappy shop!"

Sun Lei slapped the table, revealing a hand full of rings.

The waiter was also frightened by Sun Lei's nouveau riche aura. He didn't dare to say anything and hurried downstairs to buy tea.

"Remember, I want to drink Longjing before the rain!"

Sun Lei shouted to the waiter who ran downstairs.

"These guys still think I'm that local leopard Qianlong. I came to the teahouse to drink tea, and they dare to only sell water and not tea?"

Sun Lei said disdainfully.

"Brother, you really acted like yourself. I really want to slap you in the face!"

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei and said, Sun Lei really played the role of the prodigal dandy so vividly that it aroused great hatred.

"This is called professionalism. Isn't it to punish evil and promote good? This is what I mean. If I don't go to hell, then who will? How come you, a monk, don't understand?"

Sun Lei said proudly that this was what he called professionalism. (End of this chapter)
