Chapter 111 Aren't I grabbing it?

"Has the girl in this shop already paid the money?"

"Not yet, but everything has to be based on first come first served."

Although they were not familiar with each other, they had met several times. However, seeing that Master Xiao looked cold, Xie Lan did not try to please him.

"At least I saved the girl's life, you..."

Xiao Jin originally wanted to ask if he could give the store to him, but before he could finish his words, Yingge interrupted him, "Gah, girl, can you give yourself to me?"

Xie Lan stared at the parrot standing on Xiao Jin's shoulder. She was wondering why the fat girl had disappeared since they came to Beijing. It turned out that she had followed this young master.

It really is a case of forgetting its owner for the sake of beauty. She had raised it for so long, but it actually abandoned its former owner.

Xiao Jin frowned, feeling embarrassed.

This parrot is standing on his shoulder. Wouldn't it be wrong to misunderstand what he said just now?
Perhaps sensing the murderous intent, the parrot flapped its wings and ran for its life, "Killing bird! Help!"

Xie Lan had no sympathy, but instead gloated over the misfortune. It was because of this fat bird that he had no tact.

That Young Master Xiao looked like someone who was not someone he was going to mess with, yet he actually dared to use the tricks he learned in the brothel on him.

Fearing that mentioning the life-saving favor again might cause misunderstanding, Xiao Jin ignored it and said, "I also have my eyes on this Zhouji Rice and Grain Store. I wonder if you would give it to me, young lady?"

Zhou Yu, who was standing by, didn't show it on his face, but he was quickly calculating in his mind. He didn't expect to be so lucky today that two people were interested in his store at the same time.

Such a godsend opportunity cannot be missed, he has to raise the price and make a big profit to make up for the previous losses.

"It's not that I don't want to give it up, I'm just afraid that the young master will lose all his money if he buys it.

After all, you saved me before. I know this store is not good, but I can't just watch you lose money."

"Hey, how can you talk like that? My store is in a great location, so I won't lose money. If you don't want to buy anything, please leave."

Although Xie Lan arrived first, Zhou Yu noticed that Xiao Jin was dressed more luxuriously, so he naturally wanted to sell the store to him.

"Sir, you see my store not only has a good location, but also has such a large backyard and a warehouse.

If my parents weren't old and I had to go back to serve them, I would not be willing to sell this shop.

If you really want to buy it, I will give you the best price, only 6,800 taels."

Perhaps fearing that Xiao Jin would find it too expensive, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "My price is extremely reasonable. The Yu Family Silk Shop next door is charging 13,000 taels, and their shop is not even as big as my Zhou Ji."

Zhou Yu originally wanted to raise the price, but he was worried that Xie Lan would expose him, so he had to reluctantly ask for 6,800 taels.

Seeing Xiao Jin looking around carefully, Xie Lan was really worried that he was being cheated.

After all, I saved her, so I have to ruin this deal.

"A shabby shop that is haunted and losing money every day dares to ask for 6,800 taels.

Don't think I don't know that you've already lowered the price to 1,500 taels and still can't sell it, and you still dare to cheat people here."

"Don't talk nonsense, girl, my store is very clean.

The ghost stories are all rumors. Other rice and grain stores are jealous of my Zhouji's good business, so they spread rumors that my store is haunted in order to steal customers. "

"Rumors. Mr. Zhou has done so many bad things. Aren't you afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night?"

A hint of sharpness flashed across Zhou Yu's eyes.

"I, Zhou Yu, am not afraid of any crooked shadow. If you can't afford the price, please leave and don't delay my business."

"You won't cry until you see the coffin."

Zhou Yu was also annoyed. "Since you are young, I didn't want to argue with you, but since you don't want to drink the wine, don't blame me for being rude."

Zhou Yu pointed at Xie Lan and suddenly shouted, "Dahei, come on."

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, a big, ferocious dog broke out of the window of the house behind Xie Lan, and pounced at her with its sharp fangs bared.

Xie Lan sensed the danger and was about to raise her hand to kill the dog, but Xiao Jin, who was standing beside her, was afraid that she would get hurt and hurriedly pulled her away.

Yang Feng's expression condensed, and just as the sword came out, he saw Tiechui cut off the big black dog's head with one sword. Then he turned around and swept his long legs.

Zhou Dongjia immediately fell to the ground with a scream.

It was not enough for Tie Hammer to kick the man away. He walked forward with a cold face, stepped on Zhou Yu's chest, and crushed him down hard.

Zhou Yu was further injured and blood was flowing from his mouth.

Ever since Zhou Ji's house was rumored to be haunted, almost no customers dared to visit.

When Xie Lan and Xiao Jin came over, the owner of the shop next door happened to see them.

Seeing that they hadn't come out for a long time, I was curious. When I heard Zhou Dongjia's screams, I was worried that something had happened.

I simply called the guys from several nearby shops, and relying on their numbers, I went to the store to find out what was going on.

Zhou Yu wanted to beg for mercy, but when he saw many people coming, he immediately changed his words and said, "Help! Someone is killing me."

Shopkeeper Yu thought that Zhou Ji was haunted again, but he didn't expect that someone was trying to kill Mr. Zhou.

"Miss, if you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely. We cannot kill innocent people under the emperor's feet."

Tiechui didn't let go, instead he stepped harder, "This Zhou Dongjia deserves to die, he actually let the dog bite my girl."

"You are slandering me. Your daughter has taken a fancy to my shop, but she doesn't want to pay for it and just wants to take it over by force.

After being rejected by me, you wanted to ruin the deal when you saw that I was going to sell the shop to that young man.

I tried to persuade you but you refused to listen. I wanted to release the dog to scare you away, but you not only killed my dog, but also wanted to kill me too. "

Xie Lan smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Yes, I do want to ruin your business.

Your shop is haunted, and you can't even sell it for 1,500 taels. But you treat us like fools and ask for 6,800 taels."

The looks of Shopkeeper Yu and his employees changed instantly. It turned out that they were treating the man as a sucker. No wonder they got beaten.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, this is where you are wrong. How could you lie to me?"

"That's right. Your shop is haunted. Even if I sold it for 1,500 taels, I would lose a lot of money. You dare to ask for 6,800 taels. You really think I'm a fool."

Zhou Yu even annoyed the shopkeeper Yu and those guys. After all, they all knew each other and it would have been fine if they didn't help him, but they actually helped outsiders.

"Whoever said my shop is haunted, that's all rumors. It's my own shop, I can sell it for whatever price I want. What's wrong with asking for 6,800 taels? Am I breaking the law?"

Xie Lan chuckled, "It's not against the law, your mistake is that you had thoughts that you shouldn't have.

Since you have already been punished, I will not bargain with you. Five hundred taels, I will take your shop. "

"Five hundred taels, why don't you go and rob me? I won't sell this shop to you even if I tear it down!"

"I'm vying for it. If you don't sell it for 500 taels, when the government comes, you won't get a penny from your store."

"So what if the government comes? I don't believe there are officials under the emperor who dare to rob my store for nothing!"

"I've given you the chance, but if you don't want it, you'll regret it."

Xie Lan patted Xiao Jin's arm, thanked him for saving him, walked to Zhou Yu, and looked him up from above.

Suddenly he raised his foot and stepped on the jade pendant hanging on the ground around Zhou Yu's waist.

Zhou Yu instantly screamed in fear, "Don't..."

 Today, I just found out that a book friend recently gave me a reward. When I wrote the thank you list, I found that I couldn't see the list of book friends who gave me the reward. I checked the author's background and only saw the list of a book friend I had thanked before. I asked the editor and he said that only book friends who gave rewards on the first release platform would have a list displayed.

  Here, I would like to say sorry to all the book friends who gave me rewards but did not thank me!

  I also ask all book friends who have given me rewards to leave a list in the comments, and I will add it later.

  Ps: If any book friends give you rewards in the future, please remember to tell me in the comments, otherwise I won’t be able to see who gave the reward!
