Peng Sanzhang never thought that just stepping out of Honglu Pawnshop for the first time, he would meet such two real masters.
The Honglu Pawnshop family has a great business, especially when they started their business. There were times when they were in trouble and they had to go to Honglu to see it. Even if it is an indispensable item in the world, if it is placed in the Honglu Pawnshop, it can still fetch a pretty good sum. Prices have been valued since ancient times. However, if you go to a Honglu pawn shop, you can usually get a price of 60-70%. Although the profit is still not low, it is a good way to deal with emergencies when you are desperate. For ordinary people, it is already a very good place. Like gambling houses, brothels and escort bureaus on the market, pawnshops also require people with a huge family fortune. Not to mention that in this kind of business, you must always be wary of theft and robbery around you. If you don’t have soldiers or guards, As a martial arts master in a pawn shop, this kind of business is also quite difficult to do.
At the junction of Xia Song and Zi Hao, a new bamboo shoot sprouted out of nowhere. Of course, it would attract the covetous prying eyes of many people in the world. Firstly, it would make a lot of money, and secondly, being here, anyone in the realm of Xia Song and Zihao could Government offices are not allowed to extend their hands outside the border. There are many restrictions. Therefore, many items that cannot be seen outside can be sold at pawn shops in these areas. No one intends to redeem these items. On the surface, it is It was obvious that he was cheating, but in fact he was dead. When he sold it, he could still earn nearly 20% to 30% of the silver, so he was naturally satisfied. And Honglu Pawnshop also has secret means to transfer the items in the hands of these people who are looking for dragons and gold without any effort, getting the best of both worlds, so within a few years, the business has become more and more powerful, almost Xia. Everyone in Song and Zihao knows that if they encounter a difficult threshold that is really difficult to overcome, they can take their valuable items at home to try their luck at the Honglu Pawn Shop. The price is undoubtedly the most reasonable.
It's a pity that the glory of the past cannot add a few exquisite dishes to today's bleak table.
The group of three people left the border and headed for Xia Song territory. Naturally, they were not immune to being questioned on the way. However, Wen Yu's words were really exquisite and there were no omissions. With these words and knowing the rules when crossing the border, Wen Yu was not surprised. Taking the risk of entering the Xia Song territory may not sound very skillful at first, but in fact it is the most real thing. A man like Peng Sanzhang, who is not deeply involved in the world, can also hear some tricks in speaking, and naturally I'm even more fortunate that I found a capable person right after I went out. His skills are not shown, and his experience in the world is probably higher than that of many old people in the pawnshop who have made half a century of money.
During the chat, Wen Yu had already asked about the trouble at the Honglu pawnshop. After thinking for a while, he still nodded and agreed to help Peng Sanzhang, whom he had never met before. Even if the matter failed, he could still save his own life. Avoid the disaster of nest overturning.
"Ahead is Xia Song, the city closest to the border. You two might as well put your swords away first. This is also the rule in Xia Song cities. It's not that warriors are not allowed to enter the city, but because they are afraid that these bright swords will frighten the people and children. ." After all, we have entered the territory of Xia Song, and Peng Sanzhang, who has been accompanying him all the way, finally found a rare opportunity to speak first. His words were still humble, but he was a little more familiar with the road. He raised his riding whip and pointed. City head. After all, he is still young and has a good temperament. Knowing that Xing Ding is older and has profound experience in the world is understandable. This may not make Peng Sanzhang feel awkward, but at Wen Yu's age, the level of kung fu is a matter of hard work or talent. Decision-making, even the experience of traveling in the world is so seasoned, and it is inevitable to have some thoughts of competing for superiority and weakness.
But when he turned around and looked at the two of them, he realized that at some point, Wen Yuxing and Ding had already sheathed their knives and placed them in the leather sheaths, restraining their sharp edges. The ape behind Lao Xingding had already burrowed into the package. , only the mouth and nose are exposed, for fear of showing off.
"This is always the case in younger generations. Regardless of whether it is because of their xinxing or their experience, they try to compare themselves with others, but they often fall short. The reason cannot be attributed to age, but to the fact that they have not experienced life and death."
"A seemingly useless rule can cause horses and carriages to tumble down ravines and mountains. A taboo that sounds dismissive may cost thousands of lives. If you know this, you will know better. After all, fate and rules In comparison, life is more valuable."
The old man teased the pale-faced Peng Sanzhang, then ignored the latter's embarrassment and rode towards the city.
Peng Sanzhang only cared about how embarrassed he had just been. Although he didn't necessarily blame Guilin Ding for being merciless when he spoke, he was still thin-skinned. Green, red, and white were changing in turns. It took him a long time to recover, but he was also in trouble. Wen Yu, who was not far away looking at the scenery inside and outside the city, knew that Xing Ding was not just making fun of Peng Sanzhang, but was telling it to him in passing, so he left immediately. However, this flattery was too much. Chic and free.
The ancient brewing city has always been able to live up to its reputation as the number one city for drinking wine. From ancient times to the present, it has never lost its reputation as the number one city for drinking. Apart from the fact that there are many brewing shops in the city and the aroma of wine overflows in the long streets and alleys. In addition, the people who have settled in the ancient city for generations, young and old, men and women, can drink as much as they like, and their drinking capacity is often bottomless. In the past, there were guests who lived here, or the literati who were relegated here made a fuss about this matter. The land area of Xiasong Imperial City is dozens of times that of the ancient mash city, but the amount of water consumed in one day is only 30% less than that of the people in the ancient mash.
Therefore, the fact that people in the ancient city were good at drinking became more and more popular, especially those literati who played with pen and ink until they were exhausted. They often needed to use the energy contained in the wine to forcefully pull out the beautiful things in their belly. Wen Zhang likes to drink the most. Even though he knows that countless predecessors have died because of this word, he still enjoys it. They come to this city one after another to compete with ordinary people or famous drinking masters and drink to their heart's content.
But just when the three of them entered a tavern, a man with red eyes was thrown out by several waiters. They still refused to give up and tried to sneak in behind the three of them, but were caught by the waiters again. They cursed, punched and kicked the man and threw him out of the tavern. Still not relieved, one person kicked the man in the chest twice, and then he was free to solicit business.
Many people seemed to have accepted the strangeness, and no one stood up to say a few words for the man. On the contrary, everyone had a look of disgust on their faces as they held their cups.
Wen Yu has a good ear, and before the drinks unique to the ancient brewing city were brought to the table, she had already heard the whole story from the comments around her. In his early years, this man was a well-known drinking master in the city. His drinking capacity was bottomless, which attracted many outsiders to compete with him. He had a great reputation and made many fair-weather friends. However, it was precisely because of this that he drank excessively. Not only did he lose his energy, his drinking capacity plummeted, but he also ruined his entire family's fortune due to his extravagant spending. He also became addicted to gambling and had to gamble a few times all day long to feel comfortable.
The man had a pair of children in his family. The first wife could no longer stand the man's ridiculous behavior. She spent all her energy to get a divorce paper and left without looking back. Only the two children were left, in addition to enduring the beatings and scoldings of drunken men all day long. He still has to go out to earn some sporadic money to supplement his family's income, but his family's wealth, which was originally relatively strong, has been completely ruined, and most of the furnishings that could be used as money have been sold by men. Even if they are in such a desperate situation, they still don't forget to care for others. Put some generosity in front of you.
But what really annoyed everyone at the time was because this man had sold his son and daughter into a brothel in the city a few days ago, and allowed the son to grab his leg and drag him for hundreds of people through the hot summer street. Zhang Yuan, covered in blood and flesh, did not stop the man's obsessive behavior. Anyway, he pushed the girl who had cried to death into the brothel, took the money, and stepped into the restaurant to count the money without caring about anything. There was a lot of wine in the tank, and after getting drunk, he went to the gambling house to spend money.
This sum of money, which could be described as generous, was not kept until the next day, but was handed over to the gambling house and tavern.
Wen Yu ignored the angry comments of the people around him and just drank one cup after another. Before Xing and Ding could touch the wine, he drank the wine jar empty. He stood up, walked to the door and squatted down, looking at the man. The man, whose face was red due to drunkenness, remained silent.
"If you want to look at it again, I will find some brothers to dig your eyes out."
Sitting on the long busy street was a man who had lost his consciousness. Whether it was because he was ashamed or because he had drunk too much, the man's face became redder and redder. He pointed at the tip of Wen Yu's nose and cursed, some of which were so vulgar that he even compared it to the tavern. Some of the waiters who couldn't stand it lured the general over again. He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to give him a good beating to relieve his anger.
Wearing a bamboo hat and black gauze with a coarse cloth bag hanging on his waist, Wen Yu, with indifferent eyes, raised his hand to signal the waiters not to interfere, and then asked the man who was sitting paralyzed in the street, completely embarrassed.
The people on the street are all dressed in fine clothes, and the cars and horses are luxurious. Only the man's clothes are in tatters, but he is wearing a very good jade. The price of the jade is probably the price of one of his daughter's legs.
Although the aroma of wine was everywhere in the ancient city, most people's faces were filled with joy. Except for the face of the man in front of him, whose face was full of greed, anger and ignorance. No matter how he looked at it, it was quite unexpected.
Poor, but not at all pitiful.
"I can redeem your daughter back, but don't cause trouble for her in the future. At first, I was curious why you didn't sell a son who was older and wouldn't starve to death even if he was self-reliant. Now that I think about it, Or is it because many people in the world believe that raising children can prevent old age and make them more likely to be successful; a woman is like a basin of water poured into other people's homes, even if it has nothing to do with her, she can still be sold at a good price."
"Actually, there are many people in the world who think this way. Compared with men, a daughter's family is always regarded as a burden. Whether it is a marriage between two families, or a favor, it seems that there is always an advantage when marrying down. It goes without saying that we are close to each other inside and outside. If there is no arrangement, why would I be like this?"
"But who can say that women are always inferior to men."
Wen Yu stood up and walked away after hearing the man whisper the location of the brothel.
The formation gathered behind them.
Obviously, for such people who are willing to sell their children, Wen Yu really doesn't want to waste more words, and probably only talks to himself.
The swordsmanship, formations, and even the advance and retreat calculations that have been forcibly learned over the years, if Ziluan Palace had not bowed its head and willingly attached to Xumeng Mansion, the young master of Ziluan Palace would still be a romantic person.
But no matter how much hatred there is, the blood is still thick.
