Zhitian Silver Mine Exchange.
Kyogoku Takamasa wears decent clothes and holds a folding fan. People who don't know him will only think that he is an ordinary businessman and cannot guess his true identity.
As soon as he saw someone coming in, the owner of the exchange hurriedly greeted him.
"This guest is very extraordinary at first glance. He came to my place today. I wonder what he wants to trade?"
Under normal circumstances, the exchange buys and sells everything.
Many merchants choose to sell the goods they transport to the exchange or put them on consignment here.
The exchange is equivalent to playing the role of a middleman and making a profit from the price difference.
"I have a batch of leather and cloth that I'm eager to sell. I wonder where you can buy them?"
The businessman was delighted when he heard what Kyogoku Takamasa said, because if there was the word "urgent" in Kyogoku Takamasa's words, he would have to keep the price down.
"I wonder what the quality of these cloths and leathers are like?"
Kyogoku Takamasa quickly replied: "I have brought a few samples, you can check them yourself!"
After saying that, Kuchiki Takatsuna, Endo Kyouyo and others on the side quickly handed over the cloth and leather in their hands.
The merchant quickly stepped forward and took a closer look, then sighed and said, "They are indeed of high quality, but unfortunately our store just purchased a batch of cloth and leather the day before yesterday, so we don't need these things for the time being. You can go elsewhere." have a look!"
"I really need to sell these goods urgently. Please make it easier for me. I am willing to give you a discount on the price!"
The businessman rolled his eyes, then pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's common to encounter difficulties when you go out."
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I have my own difficulties!"
"The current market price in Ise is that a piece of cloth like this costs about 300 fen, and leather costs 2 guan a piece! I don't know how much you have!"
Kyogoku Takamasa quickly replied: "There are 260 pieces of cloth and 113 pieces of leather!"
As he said this, the corner of Kyogoku Takamasa's eyes kept focusing on a young man in the exchange.
Seeing the other party's expression change after hearing what he said, Kyogoku Takamasa knew something about it.
"I thought you had a lot of things to sell, but it turned out to be just this much!" The merchant suddenly said with a nonchalant expression, "In that case, I'll buy it!"
"For the extra money, I can only give you half of the market price!"
Kyogoku Takamasa pretended to be angry and said, "Isn't your price too high?"
"If you want to sell here, then it can only be at this price! If you don't want to, then go out somewhere else!" The businessman looked confident.
Kyogoku Takamasa is very unfamiliar to businessmen, and it seems like it is his first time to visit this place. Moreover, the other party was anxious to sell the goods, and the exchange closest to the Zhitian Silver Mine was also opened by a businessman, so he was not afraid of Kyogoku Gaozheng at all.
In his opinion, Kyogoku Takamasa is just a fat sheep that has been delivered to his door, and he will not kill it until he kills it!
"How dare you deceive me like this? This is the territory of my Chigusa family!" Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly said in a slightly threatening voice.
The merchant's expression changed, he looked at Kyogoku Takamasa carefully, and then said, "You call yourself me, are you a samurai?"
"Hmph! It's good to know!"
Unexpectedly, the merchant was not afraid, and replied with a normal expression: "So what if you are a samurai? Even if you are a samurai from the Chigusa family, I am not afraid of you!"
"The master of our Kudo House, Shinichiro Kudo, is the royal merchant of the Nagano family!"
As if he was frightened by the Kudo Shinichiro mentioned by the merchant, Kyogoku Takamasa took advantage of the situation and made a deflated look, and said angrily: "So what about the Nagano family, my Sengusa family is not easy to mess with!"
"Since you sincerely lower the price, then I will go on my own!"
"snort!"
After saying that, under the astonished eyes of the businessman, Kyogoku Takamasa turned around and left without even stopping!
Looking at Kyogoku Takamasa's leaving figure, the businessman looked confused.
Brother, when you are doing business, you are asking for high prices and then you have to pay back the money. Why don’t you pay back the price?
Why don't you just leave!
The businessman scratched his scalp and couldn't figure out that Kyogoku Takamasa had no intention of selling anything at all. He came to the exchange just to perform a show.
...
"Has that person followed?"
Not even two steps out of the exchange, Kyogoku Takamasa calmly asked Endo Keiyo beside him.
Keiyo Endo nodded, "Still behind!"
"For the main meal, go to the convoy first, leave a few people to watch, and let the others hide!"
"ha!"
After Endo Kyouyo left, Kyogoku Takamasa said to Kuchiki Takazuna next to him, "Genzaemon, let's walk slowly and bring the person behind us!"
"yes!"
Inoue Kansuke is Inoue Masakichi's close associate, and he is also the person sent to guard the Zhitian Silver Mine Exchange this time.
When he first arrived at the Zhitian Silver Mine, Inoue Kansuke noticed Kyogoku Takamasa and others.
It wasn't that Inoue Kansuke had a good eye for people, but that he noticed the goods accompanying Kyogoku Takamasa and others.
So Kansuke Inoue specially followed Kyogoku Takamasa to the exchange and quietly observed from the sidelines.
Just now in the exchange, when he heard Kyogoku Takamasa say that there were cloth and leather for sale, Inoue Kansuke's first reaction was "These people are bandits who steal things!"
I was just about to leave to seek help from the Chigusa family. After all, this was not the territory of the Umedo clan and I didn't dare to bring troops here.
But suddenly I heard that Kyogoku Takamasa was actually a samurai from the Senge family!
At this moment, Inoue Kansuke felt that he smelled the atmosphere of conspiracy!
After following Kyogoku Takamasa and others to their final destination, a temple near the Harita Silver Mine, Inoue Kansuke left two people behind to keep an eye on Kyogoku Takamasa and others, and then quickly rode back to the territory. !
"Lord."
"As expected, I met a merchant who came to sell cloth and leather at the exchange of Zhitian Silver Mine!"
"I followed them to their destination. The truck they were traveling with was carrying our leather!"
Inoue Masakichi was immediately overjoyed: "I've found it!"
"Have you ever informed the Qianzhong family and asked them to send troops to help destroy this group of bandits?"
Kansuke Inoue quickly continued, "That's the problem!"
"The true identity of this bandit is a samurai from the Chigusa family!"
What? !
Inoue Masakichi stood up immediately, "Are you sure?"
"When they were talking to the exchange, I was eavesdropping. What I heard with my own ears is absolutely unmistakable!" Kansuke Inoue replied with certainty.
Inoue Masakichi immediately said angrily, "No wonder we can't find any trace of these bandits. It turns out that the Chigusa family is causing trouble!"
"I'm just talking about how the bandits appeared out of nowhere, damn the Chigusa family!"
"Losing the leather is just one thing. I'm also worried that this is a conspiracy of the Chigusa family against me!"
Suddenly, Inoue Masakichi seemed to have thought of something, and his face tightened and he said, "Maybe the Chigusa family has already planned to send troops to the main family!"
Inoue Masakichi's mind has automatically made up everything!
"Let's go to Umehu City to see the lord immediately. This matter is no longer ours to decide!"
