The tide was flat on both sides, and the merchants on the entire sailboat were trembling as they looked at the man standing on the bow in front of them.
Saying this, he took a step back, looked at the ship full of merchants in front of him, stretched out a hand, and bowed politely: "Everyone, please."
It can only be said that the Seventeenth Robbers of the Yellow River are famous. They showed their power before and almost overturned the entire sailboat. At this time, there were two boatmen lying at their feet. It can be said that they were very intimidating. So Shang Jiuge watched the guests on the boat lining up. One by one in a row, they went up and put the silver ingots on the silver stamps, weighed them one by one, and then threw them into the box. Then they went to another box and picked up the crude wooden signs as if they were treasures.
Of course, for these river pirates, these river god wooden plaques themselves are their money to buy their way, and they are also proof of life when sailing on the Yellow River.
It can only be said that the seventeen thieves of the Yellow River have a vicious vision. They don't rob ordinary fishing boats. They know that those fishing boats have a few fish and are very poor. And these sailing boats carrying passengers are full of merchants, or in other words, they are rushing to take exams. To be honest, most students are willing to buy their lives with money, and they are not asking for all your wealth, but just one tael of silver. One tael of silver will guarantee your safety, and What a bargain.
So those who got the river god wooden cards were overjoyed, as proud as if they had got the gold medal for immunity from death.
But when they were lined up like this, it was Xie Changfeng and Shang Jiuge's turn.
Shang Jiuge was not afraid at all, but observed with interest as if watching a play. Xie Changfeng was not afraid either, because he was rich.
He took out two thumb-sized silver ingots from his arms and gently pushed them onto the table: "Me and the girl behind me, two River God Cards."
The man who collected the money looked at Xie Changfeng, who was dressed as a scholar, and Shang Jiuge, who was in shabby clothes behind him. Shang Jiuge still carried the mud-covered stick, and he really looked like a little beggar.
"Who is she to you?" Everyone looked at Shang Jiuge.
Xie Changfeng did not expect for a moment that the other party not only collected money, but also asked questions. He was immediately stopped by the question, but he thought quickly as he was reading: "This girl is Xiaosheng's sister, which makes everyone laugh."
"Sister?" The two people collecting the money looked at each other and couldn't help laughing: "I think it's my sister."
They added an accent to the syllables of a certain word, causing everyone on the boat to burst into laughter, especially those who had received the River God Card. mean.
After all - in their minds, they paid the money and are now on the same side as the Seventeen Thieves.
Only Xie Changfeng and Shang Jiuge did not laugh.
Then the two men continued to look at Shang Jiuge: "You little girl, are you his mistress?"
"What is a concubine?" Shang Jiuge turned his head and asked, then shook his head: "Forget it, I won't ask, it's not a good word anyway."
After saying this, Shang Jiuge continued: "I have nothing to do with him, it's just a chance meeting."
"Meet by chance?" The two of them laughed even more after hearing this: "Do you think we two are fools? We met by chance, and he is willing to pay you two taels of silver for the boat fare, and one tael of silver for the river god. ?”
As soon as these words came out, the boatman who had bought the River God brand just now burst out laughing: "We all saw it with our own eyes. Just two hours ago, the man named Xie paid for it for this little girl. The cabin, the feeling is that I can’t sleep alone on the ship, and I want to find a bed warmer.”
Xie Changfeng was a little embarrassed, but he patted the silver coins in his hand gently on the table: "I just ask you, are you still going to do the business of the River God Tablet?"
"Yes, of course." The two laughed, and then looked at Xie Changfeng with amusement: "But I just ask you, you and this girl are neither related nor related, why do you pay for her to sacrifice to the river?" god?"
"Can't you do it with a warm heart?" Xie Changfeng asked.
"Warm-hearted?" The two of them couldn't help laughing. They felt that it was really interesting to meet this pedantic scholar and businessman today.
"Since you have a warm heart." With that said, the leader took a silver ingot from Xie Changfeng. Xie Changfeng couldn't help but look happy, but saw that the man was holding the silver ingot with three fingers. With a little force, the silver ingot was like plasticine in his hand. Kneaded into three petals.
Xie Changfeng was frightened when he saw it, but he heard the man smile sinisterly and said: "Then the rest of the guests on the ship will be paid for by your enthusiasm. What do you think?"
"Mr. Big?"
There were about fifty or sixty guests on the entire ship who had not bought the River God Card, which meant that they had to spend fifty or sixty taels of silver. This was not a small amount. Xie Changfeng's total capital for this business trip was only one hundred taels of silver, not to mention Most of them have been purchased as goods, and the money on hand is only thirty or forty taels. If all these goods are sold, the final profit will be about twenty taels, but if they are worshiped as a river god, he will It was not enough to take out all the cash on my body. Only by selling all the goods on my ship to fellow merchants at low prices could I make up fifty or sixty taels.
But in that case, it would really be like being destitute and losing all your money.
Xie Changfeng gritted his teeth: "I don't have that much money on me."
Amid the laughter of those around who were watching the excitement, Xie Changfeng continued: "However, I still have money and goods worth about sixty taels in the cabin. If I sell them to Shandong, I can easily make a profit of thirty taels."
"But I am willing to sell these goods at a discount here. In other words, I can take them all away with thirty taels."
At this time, the laughter gradually stopped. No one thought that Xie Changfeng was really willing to do this.
Even the Yellow River Pirate who sold the River God Card was just teasing Xie Changfeng on purpose.
However, Xie Changfeng knew more clearly that this level was inherently sad. As long as he really gave away the fifty or sixty taels of selling goods at a low price, it could be said that this business trip to Shandong would be worth it no matter where he went. If you don't go, you'll lose all your money, so it's better to simply sell all the goods here at a low price and go back to your hometown in Shanxi.
"How brave." The leader of the thieves clapped his hands and smiled: "I wonder among the merchants, who is willing to take the goods from this hero Xie and make him famous?"
The way he addressed Xie Changfeng, from Mr. Da to Xie Daxia, was almost full of teasing and teasing.
At this moment, a cold female voice rang out: "That."
Shang Jiuge stood up and smiled softly: "How about I pay for the entire boat to honor the river god?"
Saying this, Shang Jiuge flew up and kicked the thief who had spoken the most just now off the boat.
The girl looked around with a cold smile.
"Is it okay to pay like this?"
