Chapter 22 Yellow cloth and trouble

Zhou Ming walked into the street and looked around casually. There were two rows of shops of all kinds. There were very few stalls, and they were all in the corners.

But this time, I really came to the right place.

"There's not much feeling of Qi, but there are clear signs that this is indeed a gathering place." Zhou Ming nodded secretly in his heart.

I began to observe these stores and found that some of the things in them were indeed special, but they were all extremely expensive, all priced in tens of thousands of yuan.

After walking around for a few rounds, Zhou Ming's attention was attracted by a small stall in a remote place.

The boss was a middle-aged man with a mustache, squatting there and observing his surroundings.

Zhou Ming walked over and squatted down to look at the items on the stall, some new and some old, a bunch of miscellaneous stuff. Among them was a yellow towel that had a different feeling.

"Why does this thing feel a bit like a magic weapon?" Zhou Ming reached out and picked it up, looking at the yellow cloth.

After opening it, I found some characters I had never seen before. Some of them looked like small seal script, but they felt different.

As he looked at it, the words seemed to come alive, and Zhou Ming felt a yellow light enveloping everything.

"Hey! Are you done yet? Don't touch anything unless you want to buy something." Suddenly an impatient voice sounded, waking Zhou Ming up.

There was a flash of horror in his eyes. What was this thing? How could it be so powerful?

Zhou Ming said this thing was powerful because his unique sense of time allowed him to detect something unusual.

When Zhou Ming clearly felt that only a few dozen seconds had passed when he fell into the yellow light, but after waking up, he realized that more than ten minutes had passed in the world.

Unbelievable, what on earth is this?
"Do you want to buy it or not? I'm asking you a question." The boss with a mustache slapped his thigh, his face full of impatience.

"Boss, why don't I recognize this word?" Zhou Ming asked directly.

"Of course you don't know it. Not only you, I don't know it either. Almost no one knows it. Otherwise, why do you think I am selling it here?" the boss sneered.

"How much do you sell this thing?" Zhou Ming asked.

"One hundred thousand!"

"Ten dollars!"

"Hey, are you looking for trouble? Even if no one can recognize the words on this thing, just looking at the material, you can tell it's an old item. Ten dollars? Why don't you go and rob it?"

"What old item? The material looks new..."

Not far away, three people gathered together, staring at Zhou Ming out of the corner of their eyes.

"Hey guys, why is it a little brat this time?" A bald man among the three said while squatting.

"What's wrong with the little brat? Since he likes this rag, he must be someone in the circle." said another tall man.

"This kid looks unfamiliar, and judging from his accent he doesn't seem to be from Tianjin. What do you think? Guys, let's give him some money." The last short and fat man said with a smile.

These three men looked to be in their 20s, but they spoke in an old-fashioned manner, like old hooligans.

"We set up this game just to make some extra money and kill time at the same time." The tallest man stood up, and the other two also laughed.

They are well-known bad boys in Tianjin, and the ancient culture world is also their territory. Ordinary people dare not cheat them for fear of being in trouble with the company.

But it’s different for people in the circle.

"Fifty thousand! I won't sell it for less than this price." The boss with a double mustache said firmly.

"Okay!" Zhou Ming looked at the boss's attitude and knew that this was the bottom line. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.

"How to pay?"

"I'll go find a bank nearby and do the transaction in cash."

"I'll go with you!" The boss was delighted and immediately packed up his stall, then followed Zhou Ming. Not far away was a small business hall with several ATMs.

Zhou Ming went in to withdraw 50,000 yuan, and when he came out he found that the boss was gone. As he was frowning, he heard a voice coming from the side.

"This way!"

At the entrance of the alley not far away, the boss waved his hand.

"What is this guy doing? Trying to rob?" Zhou Ming thought to himself as he watched the boss turn around and walk into the alley.

Although he had some guesses, he was not afraid and just walked over.

After all, I have all the abilities now, and the regular armed forces are certainly no match for me, but how could I be afraid of such petty robbers?
He walked over boldly, but the Qi in his body had already started to flow.

When I walked into the alley, I saw the boss standing in the middle of the alley with a piece of yellow cloth in one hand.

"Come on, come on, pay the money and receive the goods." said the boss.

Zhou Ming walked over and looked at the folded yellow cloth, and said vigilantly: "Inspect the goods first!"

"Hasn't you checked it?" the boss muttered, and seeing Zhou Ming's firm attitude, he had no choice but to open the cloth.

Seeing that it was indeed the yellow cloth, Zhou Ming nodded, handed over the money with one hand and reached for the yellow cloth with the other.

After getting the money, the boss turned around and ran away without even clicking on the button. He was so fast that he was out of the alley in a flash.

Zhou Ming folded the yellow cloth and put it in his pocket. He looked towards the entrance of the alley and saw three figures appear.

"Brothers, don't you think it's such a coincidence? I just lost this thing and I saw it again." The tallest man said playfully.

"That's right! Nowadays, people who do bad things have bad luck. Isn't this retribution?"

"You are so bold to steal Brother Liu's things!"

Zhou Ming looked at the three lazy guys in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity.

"Tianjin? Xiaotaoyuan in Tianjin? This is indeed the other party's territory, but it can't be such a coincidence! And even if the original book says that they are bad boys, they wouldn't do such a thing in their own territory!" Zhou Ming frowned and said in his heart.

"You three stop complaining. It's useless to put accusations and throw mud at me." Zhou Ming said with a sneer.

"Hey! If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know who these three are."

"Tianjin Wei Xiao Taoyuan is here, you still dare to deny it!"

Guan Ling'er and Zhang Cai stood on the left and right, as if they were performing an opera.

At this time, Liu Fang put down his hand and said like a good man: "What are you doing? Are you asking for evidence? How can you resort to violence so easily?"

"You can look at that piece of yellow cloth. If you turn the two wide sides over and stack them together, you can see some tiny words. My name is written on it!"

Liu Fang laughed and said, "You have nothing to say about this, right? Take a look. If my name is on it, return the cloth to us. Otherwise, don't blame my third brother."

Zhou Ming didn't look at the cloth in his pocket. It was obvious that the boss was in cahoots with them and was specifically setting up a scam to defraud people.

This tactic is probably used specifically against people in the circle, because people in the circle generally do not call the police and try not to have too much contact with law enforcement agencies outside the circle.

"I remember that in the original book, these three guys were dealt with by Xu Si and Feng Baobao. Maybe they set up a trap to cheat money from ordinary people and caused some trouble." Zhou Ming suddenly guessed in his heart.

"You three are so brave to write your names on my cloth."

When the three people from Xiao Taoyuan heard this, their eyes widened and they were stunned for a moment.

"Shit! He's actually running into someone from the same profession." Liu Fang said angrily, "Brothers, go ahead!"
