Chapter 5 The Damned Hero Saves the Beauty
It's not yet noon, in the capital, at the entrance of Liu Ji's pawnshop.
Wang Siqi holds a small breeze fan in his hand.
Behind him were dozens of servants carrying heavy wooden boxes.
Wu De, a loyal follower, followed closely beside him.
"Hey! Is there anyone doing business? Why don't you open for business even though the sun is shining on you? Is there anyone?" Wang Siqi patted the door of Liu Ji's pawnshop with his hand.
He couldn't stop mumbling.
According to the memory of my predecessor, whenever I had no money, I would find some way to find some things from home to sell at Liu Ji's pawn shop.
Because he comes often, the shopkeeper in the store also knows him!
Of course, it is impossible not to know this famous dandy on the streets of Beijing!
As things are sold more and more...
So much so... that later on, there was no talk of a living pawn or a dead pawn. The shopkeeper always gave Wang Siqi a living pawn at the price of a dead pawn.
Because he has never redeemed anything at all.
"Hey! Isn't this Prince Wang? What kind of wind brings you to me again today! Come on, come on!"
Seeing the servants at the door carrying such a huge pile of things on their shoulders, how could the pawnshop owner who just opened the door not know that this was Wang Siqi, a prodigal young man, who was taking good things from home in exchange for money!
"That's pretty much it! How come you, old guy, don't know the importance of dedication at all?"
"Yes, yes! What Master taught me is that after the market opens tomorrow, our Liu Ji Pawnshop must open half an hour early every day! We will be waiting for Master!"
"That's right! The early bird catches the worm! Come, help me estimate the price, palm palm eye! Let's see how much money these things can be worth!"
After saying that, he waved his hands, and Wu De quickly asked everyone to carry the boxes in their hands into the pawn shop one by one, and put them on the ground to prepare for counting.
The shopkeeper of Liu Ji's pawnshop saw this posture.
He quickly said to Wang Siqi with a smile on his face: "Master Wang really knows the goods! Our Liu Ji has the best reputation in the entire capital! I'll go call someone to do an inventory right away!"
"Hurry up, otherwise I will sell it to someone else!"
"Hey! Let's go right now!"
After saying that, he quickly walked to the backyard. Shopkeeper Liu Ji, whose surname was also Liu, was a distant relative of the Liu family behind him. Since he had been working on the abacus in the accounting room since he was a child, he was called to help.
While walking in the backyard, a store clerk chased me.
Somewhat cautiously, he said: "The shopkeeper... I knew at a glance that those boxes are full of rare treasures from the Qingyuan uncle's house. Let's collect these things... there won't be any trouble, right?"
Shopkeeper Liu slightly stroked his mustache.
He smiled contemptuously and said: "I don't know anything. If there is business coming... there is no reason not to do it. I don't know that these are things from the Qingyuan uncle's house, and I don't know where these things will go, but you said
It makes sense..."
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, and then said: "It will be the same as usual later, everything will be counted as a living wage, and the price... In order not to offend this kid... I'll just pay the death penalty! If no one comes to redeem it after a month,
Just don’t blame me!”
The waiter stretched out his hand and couldn't help but praise: "As expected of the shopkeeper! You are so considerate!"
....
It didn't take long for shopkeeper Liu to invite five or six reviewers from the pawn shop to come and count them one by one and sit in the tea room in the store.
But Wang Siqi was drinking tea leisurely with the shopkeeper, waiting for the results.
After a while, a waiter came to the shopkeeper's ear.
After muttering a few words in a low voice, he hurried away.
The shopkeeper put down the porcelain cup in his hand, smiled softly and said, "Master Wang... I really gave this shopkeeper a surprise today! These things are indeed of some value."
"Oh? Then the shopkeeper, don't wait any longer and make an offer first?"
"Don't be impatient... there is something I have to say again... Mr. Wang... is he still a job?" the shopkeeper said to Wang Siqi...
"That's natural! Just like always!"
"Young Master Wang is really happy, he is worthy of being your future uncle! After one month of living, I can offer 60,000 taels of silver for today's pile of things! If it is a discounted treasure banknote, it will be 10,000 taels of cash silver and 100,000 treasure banknotes.
!I wonder which one you prefer, Master?"
Wang Siqi didn't even think about it and just blurted out: "Of course I want cash... those precious notes are really hard to use and can't be used anywhere!"
"Okay... then I'll issue you an invoice and prepare the money..."
The shopkeeper was just about to get up, but Wang Siqi stopped him: "Shopkeeper, be slow! I have another treasure here that I want to pawn!"
Thinking it was some kind of rare treasure, the shopkeeper quickly sat down.
I saw Wang Siqi pulling out a dark discus from his collar. It seemed unattractive, but when he placed it on the table, it made the shopkeeper break out in a cold sweat!
"Young Master Wang! You must not do it, you must not do it. This is a death-free coupon. Not to mention my small shop, no one in the entire capital dares to accept it!"
Wang Siqi, who knew very well how deceptive the Ming Dynasty's death-free iron coupons were... Today, he was determined to get this thing out of his hands.
"Ten thousand taels of cash! Take it away!"
"Young Master Wang, please take it back quickly. I really don't dare to take this thing away!"
"Eight thousand taels!"
"This may be a serious crime requiring beheading!"
"Five thousand taels! Do you want it or not? Give me a happy word!"
"Deal! Mr. Wang, this is what we have agreed on!!"
Seeing Wang Siqi's anxious look, the shopkeeper secretly thought that the price might not be able to be lowered anymore, so he quickly grabbed the iron coupon in his arms.
He nodded quickly and said: "Five thousand taels! Five thousand taels! Deal, Mr. Wang!"
"That's it! Get the money!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Go right now, go count the banknotes right now, Mr. Wang, wait a moment!"
Wang Siqi's sales here were booming, but Wu De, who was standing behind Mr. Wang, was so frightened that his face turned pale, sweat was pouring from his forehead, and he was mumbling tremblingly: "It's over... it's over!
The young master is going to be beaten to death by the uncle..."
"I have to beat him to death! Young Master...Young Master is confused!"
After a while.
After calling his servant to return home first, Wang Siqi, who was taking Wu De with him, was strolling on the streets of the capital with a roll of banknotes in his hand.
But what made him feel a little strange was that he followed the route he took in the past in his memory.
Why do people who come and go see me as if they are seeing the god of plague?
Before I had time to think about it, I saw a rogue on the side of the road making dirty jokes and having an affair with a pretty girl.
!The hero saves the beauty! This familiar bloody scene floods into my heart...
After saving the beauty...hehe!
"Stop it, Master! Don't you want to live?"
He shouted angrily, causing the girls and gangsters not far away to turn around. It had been a long time since we had seen the legend of Wang Siqi joking on the street.
The rogue didn't even recognize the person. Instead, he angrily yelled, "You pretty boy! I advise you to stay out of your own business, otherwise! I'll screw you up!"
Hiss..I wipe it? Longyang’s good?
Suddenly, Wang Siqi was about to retreat!
Unexpectedly, Wu Deze, who was behind him, quickly stepped forward, slapped the ruffian in his hand and slapped him in the face!
"Your special code is blind! This is the son of uncle Qingyuan's family! Why are you talking to my young master! Even if my young master has that habit, can he like you?"
