Reverend Insanity

Chapter 45: Almost blackmail

At dawn, the east is about to dawn, and the morning light is slightly dew.

The cold air at night condenses into dewdrops and remains on the grass blades. The temporary market in Jinjiazhai is being demolished. The tents were put away and the carpets on the stalls were rolled up one by one. The goods were wrapped and reloaded.

After staying in Jinjiazhai for many days, the caravan was ready to set off again.

For merchants, no matter how much goods are sold or purchased, there is always a profit. Therefore, although many people's faces are tired, they are full of joy and smiles.

Xiaodie's expression was extremely different.

"Sister Xiaotong, I just checked, and Heitu has replaced almost all the goods. Among them, I actually saw three carts full of golden hairpins!"

"Golden Hairpin Grass?" Shang Xinci frowned slightly when he heard this.

Xiaodie was so angry that she grabbed Shang Xinci's arm and said, "Even a layman like me knows that things like golden hairpin cannot be sold at all. But he still exchanged so many. Sister Xiaotong, this black soil is completely It’s all nonsense!”

"Xiaodie, please calm down first and be patient." Shang Xinci patted Xiaodie's hand, "He should have exchanged this golden hairpin for last night, but I don't know. But the other goods he exchanged for... There is some truth to this.

You think it's pretty good for him as a mortal to be able to do this. "

"Sister Xiaotong, why are you speaking for him? I am doing this for you, sister Xiaotong. These goods are ours, why should they be ruined by outsiders in vain? The key is that he can't afford to pay! Zhang Zhu Sir, don't you try to persuade Sister Xiaotong..." Xiaodie pouted.

Zhang Zhu on the side sighed: "Sister Xiaotong, what Xiaodie said makes sense. I lent it to him before to test him. Now that I have seen through it, why let him keep struggling? We all believe in your ability, Sister Xiaotong, but Why not reduce the losses that can be reduced as much as possible? In the future, you will have less struggle when you come to the Merchant City."

"Get up..." Shang Xinci was silent, he was still young after all, hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Previously, she thought that the goods Fang Yuan exchanged made sense. But this golden hairpin...,

Getting so many golden hairpins is definitely the biggest failure.

Although Golden Hairpin is easy to preserve, demand is so low that it cannot be sold at all. If you hoard so much at once, it will eventually rot in your hands sooner or later. In the end, it had to be sold at a reduced price, which can be said to be doomed to lose money.

"Are you Miss Zhang Xinci?" At this moment, a sweaty middle-aged male Gu Master trotted up to Shang Xinci with a look of urgency on his face.

Judging from the iron tag on his belt, he is a level two Gu master.

Shang Xinci smiled: "That's the little lady. Who is your Excellency?"

The middle-aged man clasped his fists: "I am the personal guard of the patriarch, and I have a merciless request under the order of the patriarch."

"Oh? Please tell me."

"You should have purchased a large amount of golden hairpin grass last night. The whole story is like this. Our clan leader loves golden hairpin grass, so he raised some for viewing. But the young master secretly dug it out and traded it behind the clan leader's back. . Now, the clan leader has put the young master in solitary confinement. At the same time, he wants to redeem the golden hairpin that he sold to Sister Xiaotong. I beg Sister Xiaotong, please let me go."

The personal guard Gu Master spoke politely but with a hint of hardness, showing a firm attitude.

"Sister Xiaotong...no..." Zhang Zhu looked solemn and couldn't help but remind him.

The personal guard Gu Master represents the head of the Jin family,

This matter can be big or small. If it is not handled well, it will be very serious.

Shang Xinci glanced at Zhang Zhu and nodded to express his understanding: "I fully understand the noble chief's mood. In fact, I am also a lover of flowers. All the golden hairpins must be given to the nobles, leaving no one behind."

"Sister Xiaotong is so reasonable, I'm really pleased." The guard Gu Master's face softened and he smiled.

Shang Xinci continued: "This transaction is handled by one of my subordinates. I will call him here right now."

Fang Yuan has long been secretly paying attention to the movements here.

"Heitu, you are in trouble. Sister Xiaotong asked you to come over." Xiaodie came to call him.

Fang Yuan rushed to the guards, clasped his fists and said, "I am responsible for the purchase of Golden Hairpin Grass. I heard that the nobles want to buy it back?"

The personal guard Gu Master saw that the person who came was actually not a Gu Master, but just a mortal. After being surprised, a slight disdain and arrogance showed on his face.

He snorted: "That's right. Mortals, be happy. The patriarch is tolerant and kind, and is willing to buy back your three carts of golden hairpins with three thousand yuan stones."

"So many?" Xiaodie was surprised, with obvious joy in her eyes.

Zhang Zhu's frown gradually relaxed. Three thousand yuan stones should be calculated based on the highest market price of golden hairpin grass, which shows the sincerity of the head of the Jin family.

But Fang Yuan shook his head: "The Golden Hairpin Grass is extremely valuable. To buy it back for only three thousand Yuan Stones, doesn't this seem too insincere?"

The guard suddenly frowned: "What? According to the market price of golden hairpin, the maximum is only this much. Mortal, at what price did you buy it?"

Fang Yuan touched his nose: "Let's not talk about the purchase price. We are all businessmen, so naturally we have to buy low and sell high. Three thousand Yuan Stones are too young to sell!"

"You!" The guard gritted his teeth, stretched out his palm and spread his fingers apart, "Okay, then it will increase by two thousand yuan stones, five thousand yuan stones!"

Xiaodie stared in surprise. She looked at the five fingers stretched out by her personal guard, and her face quickly turned red with excitement.

"Five thousand yuan stones? This is what you said, you can't go back on it!" She almost jumped up with joy. She didn't expect that things would develop like this, and Fang Yuan would already make a lot of money.

But Fang Yuan still shook his head.

The guard's face turned cold and he threatened: "Mortal, don't you think you are greedy? These golden hairpins belong to our clan. Your private transactions are no longer allowed. Without proof of transaction, I can even Said, you secretly stole the Golden Hairpin!!"

The guard's anger made Zhang Zhu's heart skip a beat. He looked at Fang Yuan and said, "Sell it if you can."

Fang Yuan laughed: "You sell and I buy, it is consensual. What's more, your young master sold this to me. If you insist that it is theft, then there is nothing I can do. The Jin family is strong and can bully the weak. , just grab it back. Well, the goods are there, you can take action. But as far as I know, I am not the one who bought the golden hairpin grass. Many people have a share, will the Jin clan all grab it?"

Fang Yuan had already expected this situation, so he only bought most of it last night. The Gu Master sold the remaining Golden Hairpin Grass to others.

"You!" The guard was furious, but due to Fang Yuan's squeeze, he could only grit his teeth.

He pointed at Fang Yuan: "Your family has acquired the most, brat, do you want to embarrass me?"

"Of course I don't have this idea, I just want to complete this deal." Fang Yuan bowed his hands.

"Hmph, that's it! Then add another two thousand yuan stones, seven thousand yuan! Mortal, bring over all the golden hairpins you bought." The guard shouted.

"Heitu, you might as well just sell it. We businessmen pay attention to harmony to make money." Shang Xinci couldn't bear the pressure anymore.

"Since you said so, Sister Xiaotong..." Fang Yuanbing nodded, and then changed the subject, "Then I will give in. For eight thousand yuan stones, you can buy back all the golden hairpins in my hand."

As soon as these words came out, Shang Xinci and others were stunned.

The personal guard reacted and was furious: "What? You bastard!!"

Fang Yuan had a smile on his face: "We are talking about business, please don't be angry, Gu Master. In fact, I originally wanted to buy 10,000 yuan stones. If you can't sit down, how about I have an interview with the noble clan leader?" "

"No need!" The guard waved his hands and looked at Fang Yuan with great disgust, "As a mortal, what qualifications do you have to meet the clan leader? Go and pick up the goods. You are taking advantage of others' danger. I will take note of it. Hum. !”

Saying this, he undoubtedly agreed to Fang Yuan's price increase.

Soon, the two parties completed the transaction.

Fang Yuan only used less than 500 Yuan Stones for the goods, but after a simple change of hands in one night, he got the profit of 8,000 Yuan Stones.

"Sister Xiaotong, there are two boxes full of Yuan stones!" Xiaodie smiled happily. She was frightened throughout the entire transaction, but now that she saw the Yuan Stone, she suddenly felt that everything was worth it.

The gaze he looked at Fang Yuan also changed.

"Did you know earlier? No, it must be a blind cat that encounters a dead mouse!" She looked Fang Yuan up and down and commented.

"In doing so, you have offended the Jin family. It's only worth eight thousand yuan stones." Zhang Zhu kept frowning tightly. He looked at Fang Yuan with some dissatisfaction and warned, "Don't take risks like this in the future. ”

Fang Yuan smiled slightly and turned to look at Shang Xinci: "According to the original agreement, half of these eight thousand yuan stones belong to Sister Xiaotong. I also ask Sister Xiaotong to keep my share of the yuan stones for me."

"Is everything done?" The head of the Jin family stood on the hillside, watching the caravan slowly leave from a distance.

An elder stood beside him and reported: "Yes, clan leader. All the golden hairpins sold were bought back. It's just that the Zhang family took the opportunity to blackmail, which is really hateful."

The head of the She family raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let's talk about it."

The old man explained in detail.

The head of the Jin family smiled: "It's just eight thousand Yuan stones, don't worry about it. That Zhang family's little sister, Tong, is a little smart. She introduced a mortal slave to test the situation, which made her earn this money."

"Clan leader, my subordinates are worried that the Zhang family already knows the secrets of our clan, so they take the opportunity to blackmail you?"

"Hahaha, don't be suspicious. If they knew the importance of Golden Hairpin Grass to our clan, how much more would they blackmail for a mere eight thousand yuan? They would either buy it all, or they wouldn't buy it at all. However, just in case, we still dispatched The Gu Master keeps an eye on them until they leave the Golden Mountain boundary. See if anyone sneaks into Huangjiazhai. If so, be sure to kill them on the spot!"

At this point, the head of the Jin family showed his murderous intent.

The elder's heart trembled: "Yes, Mr. Patriarch!"

Taking one last look at the Golden Mountain behind him, Fang Yuan turned his head with a smile on his lips.

Not far away, in the carriage, Shang Xinci opened the curtains and focused his gaze on Fang Yuan's back. The light in her beautiful eyes was flowing, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
