There were also people coming and going on this street, and their instinct to watch the excitement prompted everyone to quickly gather around, and soon the place was filled with water.
"This Li Gui is really good at business. If he hasn't opened his business in the past three years, he can really figure out how to do business after three years of business opening!"
"Who says otherwise! He is the best businessman in our street! We need capital to do business, but he only relies on his face and mouth to do business!"
"Hahahahahahaha! This is a business without capital, profit without capital! No, these people may not be able to escape being killed by him today!"
"Yes, yes, it seems that the people here have come from afar and are entering the city for the first time. You know, this Li Gui has been working in this street for more than ten years, and he is also a well-known profiteer. These outsiders are here to blackmail you, and they have a bad reputation in this area!"
"Tch, it's not because they found a good son who works as an alchemist in the Gu family. This title is enough for him to walk around in Fulong City! Those businessmen either don't have time to argue with him here, or they just I don’t want to offend an alchemist. This has made him arrogant for so many years!”
…………
The businessmen who stood aside and watched the excitement looked at the boss named Li Gui with envy and jealousy.
Li Gui didn't care at all about the strange looks from the people around him, because he didn't have time to pay attention to it at all. He was thinking about how to trick the fat sheep in front of him and how to kill a large piece of meat from the fat sheep!
"Five hundred taels? Are you dreaming?" Yi Niao lost his voice. Although he is a demon clan, he has followed the dream for so long, and he has basically understood the prices of goods in Kyushu.
A full five hundred taels of silver can almost buy a bowl made of gold!
And what kind of bowl was this broken? That's a broken bowl! It actually costs five hundred taels of silver! It’s obvious that he wants to extort their money!
But even though the black-hearted boss Li Gui offered such a high price, Jiang Zhiyuan still had a gloomy expression and didn't say much.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Li Gui turned around and asked, "What? Is the price fair? If you don't think it's okay, we'll go to the Yamen and discuss the price in front of the county magistrate, and ask him to evaluate it! How about it? ? It’s just that the negotiation time may be longer. We can’t discuss it for more than ten days. It depends on whether you have the time to wait. I’m not in a hurry anyway. I have plenty of time to spend with you! "
When Jiang Xianfeng heard this, he immediately lost his temper, "You are so unreasonable, you actually raised the price maliciously!"
"Haha, this is my thing. I can set the price as high as I want. If you don't like it, don't buy it! But now that you have broken this bowl, you have to buy it even if you don't want to. !" The boss put on a scoundrel look and glanced sideways at Jiang Xianfeng, completely losing his previous attentive smile.
Although Jiang Xianfeng was extremely dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do about it for the moment. After all, he had indeed broken other people's goods. It was only natural that he should pay for it, but paying so much money was really too much!
"Okay! Then go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit! Are we still afraid of you?" Jiang Xianfeng said angrily.
"Yo! You're pretty good! Go ahead! I'm telling you, if you lose the lawsuit, don't cry! Hehe!" Li Gui mocked with a mean look.
Jiang Xianfeng was so angry that he clenched his fists and wanted to hit Li Gui twice in the face!
However, at this moment, Jiang Zhiyuan suddenly reached out to stop Jiang Xianfeng, and then said coldly to Li Gui, "Okay! Five hundred taels, five hundred taels, we'll give it!"
These words shocked Jiang Xianfeng beside him. In his impression, his sister had a strong character and would never bow to others or wrong herself. However, she acted like this today.
However, the gloomy expressions of Liao Meng and Yi Niao on the side softened a little at this moment.
, as if thinking of something.
It wasn't until a long time later that Jiang Xianfeng figured out why her sister made such a choice that day. It was because something called the overall situation pressured her and forced her to make such a choice.
At this time, their journey seems safe and unobstructed, but in fact they are still in danger. Killers who do not take action are the most terrifying, because you never know when they will appear behind you. !
It is precisely this that makes Jiang Zhiyuan have to act carefully. If he wastes time in Fulong City and is chased by those killers, then their group will not be able to escape, and everything will have to be accounted for. here.
However, Jiang Zhiyuan's concession did not win Li Gui's consent, but made him even more unscrupulous.
Li Gui squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Five hundred taels of silver is indeed cheaper. Since you all said so, let's pay a thousand taels in compensation!"
Li Gui's words immediately caused the crowd around to explode!
"One thousand taels! My God, this Li Gui really knows how to do business! I have never seen this one thousand taels of business in Fulong City for so many years!"
"Yes, yes, this Li Gui really dares to speak! But these people look so familiar! By the way, that pig over there! They were stopped by Elder Yuehai at the city gate and wanted to pay for it That bunch of pigs!”
"I heard that they seem to be related to the eldest lady of the Gu family! I wonder if Li Gui can eat this piece of fat this time!"
"In my opinion, these people might really have that much money, but I don't know if they will actually give it to Li Gui in the end!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's hard to say. After all, since Li Gui dares to say this, he is probably confident that he can handle them!"
"I don't think so. Maybe he won't be able to eat meat this time, and one of his teeth will break!"
…………
Li Gui looked at Jiang Zhiyuan and his group indifferently, as if he had just said that the number was not one thousand taels, but one penny.
Jiang Zhiyuan and the others were silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Zhiyuan, waiting for her to make a decision.
After waiting for a moment, a look of struggle appeared on Jiang Zhiyuan's face.
But before she could make a decision, the crowd suddenly burst into noise. A group of mighty soldiers in blue armor rushed out and quickly separated the surrounding crowd.
A man who looked like a leader walked out with a young man in a black robe surrounded by soldiers.
"I want to see who is so bold and dares to cause trouble in Fulong City!"
Without even looking at Jiang Zhiyuan and his party, the leader walked straight to Li Gui's stall and asked, "Tell me, what happened here?"
As the leader spoke, he looked back at the young man behind him. The young man bowed slightly and seemed to wink at him. The leader seemed to understand what the young man meant and nodded slightly.
Li Gui smiled flatteringly on his face, walked up to the leader, pointed at Jiang Zhiyuan and his party, and said loudly, "These are the people who just planned to spend ten taels of silver to buy an artifact from me with a price of two thousand taels. Naturally, they were reluctant and rejected them. As a result, they became so angry that they smashed the artifact directly and threatened to smash the entire Fulong City to the ground. How dare these people act so boldly in broad daylight? ! If you don’t put me in jail and give you a good lesson, how can you show your prestige and courage, sir!”
"Well...Okay, you are right. These people are so presumptuous. They obviously don't take Fulong City's king's laws seriously. It's time to teach them a lesson! However, before that, I still want to see See if they have any remorse! Okay, help me see if they have any repentance! If so, I will forgive them this time
! If not, then take him back and have two good prison meals! "
After the leader gave a thorough explanation to Li Gui, he walked back to the young man, narrowed his eyes and said to him, "Brother Li, your dad is really good at playing!"
A trace of embarrassment and helplessness flashed across the young man's face. He sighed and said, "Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. He's already at his age, and I can't help him. I can only rely on you, the leader." Take care of me!”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, care is care, and it's not because of your sincere filial piety towards your father!"
When the leader said this, he especially emphasized the word filial piety, as if he was reminding the young man of something.
The young man rolled his eyes, nodded with a smile, then leaned into the leader's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, I will go to the Gu family's warehouse today to bring two boxes of good elixirs to honor you!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! You, you, are truly the most filial person I have ever seen. I am so moved by your filial piety. I am very optimistic about you, and you will definitely have great potential in the future!"
The leader patted the young man on the shoulder, his eyes filled with admiration.
The young man also smiled and said, "I'd like to lend you a good word. I'd like to lend you a good word. But I heard that there are a few despicable people who are slandering my name recently, and they have all been reported to the Yamen. As you know, the Yamen All those people are just drunkards, how can they be as clear-minded as adults! So..."
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of everything for you. Now that our Bingshan Army is stationed in Fulong City, those people in the yamen don't even dare to let loose! Hehe!"
The two of them were colluding with each other on some ulterior deals here, while Li Gui on the other side walked arrogantly in front of Jiang Zhiyuan and his party.
"You guys, how dare you do such forced buying and selling in Fulong City! If the leader of the Iceberg Army hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what you would have done!"
When Jiang Xianfeng heard this, he was immediately furious. He raised his fists and wanted to rush towards Li Gui, but Jiang Zhiyuan grabbed his arm and stopped him.
If trouble occurs again at this time, I'm afraid they will really be arrested.
Although these soldiers were no match for them even if they were put together, it was difficult for them to escape in the chaos. After all, Fulong City is so big, who knows if there are crouching tigers, hidden dragons inside.
What's more, if they make too much noise in Fulong City, how can they get maps to Yuzhou and Qingzhou here!
Li Gui looked at Jiang Xianfeng, who looked aggrieved, and smiled proudly, "Do you still want to hit me? Hahahahahaha, come on, you try to touch me today? The leader of the Iceberg Army is here now, If you dare to touch me, you will definitely look good!"
As he spoke, Li Gui wandered towards Jiang Zhiyuan and his group, and finally stopped in front of Jiang Zhiyuan.
"Hehe, the leader wants me to ask you if you have any regrets. This is your last chance!" Li Gui said in a low voice, "If you do, I won't take you to the prison later. If you don't, Haha, there are a hundred and eight kinds of torture in Fulong City's prison, I wonder how many of them you can withstand?"
Jiang Zhiyuan said without changing her expression, "You just want money, right?"
"Smart people will only say that this means repentance!" Li Gui said with a smile, "The more remorse, the better. If there is less, the leader will not be able to see it!"
Jiang Zhiyuan's face became darker and darker, and there was a fierce light in his eyes. Jiang Xianfeng held her hand tightly, with no fear on his face.
However, Li Gui still stood there with a playful smile. He had seen this kind of scene many times, but he had never seen anyone who was blackmailed by him really dare to take action against him in Fulong City.
He has a son who is an alchemist from the Gu family and has the backing of the leader of the Bingshan Army, which gives him a sense of security.
