The front gate of the front yard was crowded with people, and among the crowd, a burly man was holding a long sword.
Yuan Daqiang was the winner of this first-class martial arts fight. Everyone had seen this sword on the ring not long ago, so they did not doubt its authenticity, but some could not understand why Yuan Daqiang wanted to sell this sword.
The person in front immediately asked: "Master Yuan, why are you selling your sword?"
"Ahem, this sword is too light for me to use. Stop inking. Do you want it? The one with the highest price will get it!" After Yuan Daqiang said casually, he held the Frost Sword in his arms and looked at everyone.
.
Everyone present looked at each other. According to the head of the Ye family, this sword is worth several thousand or even ten thousand taels. If you can get it, even if you can't use it yourself, you can still resell it for a good price. Seeing Yuan Daqiang, it doesn't look like it's a joke.
They started bidding.
"Master Yuan, I, I, I, I will pay you fifty taels!"
"Is fifty taels worth it? Let me come, Master Yuan, and I will give you a hundred taels!"
"Haha, do any small fish or shrimp dare to stand up these days? I'll give you three hundred taels."
"..."
Soon, the price of this sword reached three thousand taels of silver, and some people even increased the price.
Seeing this, Yuan Daqiang narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand to interrupt everyone's communication, and said: "I want to see the money now!"
After hearing his words, everyone present suddenly became quiet. Let's not talk about whether they have so much money. Even if they did, who would go out with a few thousand taels for nothing?
Just at this moment, a man in black came out, laughed and said: "It seems that this sword is really destined for me. Brother Yuan, how about giving me one thousand five hundred taels of this sword?"
Everyone present quickly recognized this person. He was the second-ranked Lu Ying in first-class martial arts. He had received a reward of 1,500 taels of silver. It is estimated that he is the only one who can afford so much cash now. There is a lot.
People sighed and expressed regret, and some people stepped forward to discuss with Yuan Daqiang.
Behind the crowd, Tang Ji blinked his eyes and lowered his voice and asked Ye Xiao: "The Ye family used to hold martial arts fights, and they also used this sword as a reward?"
"Used it once." Ye Xiao replied softly.
"Then if you send the sword out, how do you get it back?" Tang Ji asked doubtfully.
Ye Xiao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and explained: "Uncle Ling snatched it back."
Hearing this, the corner of Tang Ji's mouth twitched, wondering who would come first in this first-class competition and who would be unlucky? It would be better to take second place, put one thousand five hundred taels of silver into his pocket, touched his chin, and murmured
Said: "Do you think Yuan Daqiang knows that your Ye family will take back the sword, so he simply sells it?"
Ye Xiao couldn't help but recall the scene in the arena and shook his head: "This Yuan Daqiang must be in urgent need of silver. When I gave him the sword, he asked me if he could exchange it for silver."
Tang Ji nodded slightly, it seemed like this guy was lucky!
Ye Xiao looked forward, stared at the long sword for a few times, slowly exhaled, then smiled lightly and said: "Brother Tang, can I ask you a favor?"
"What's the matter?" Tang Ji turned to look at him.
"Buy the sword for me." Ye Xiao replied, and then thinking of the conversation he had with Sun Yufu at the dinner just now, he added: "I'll pay for it."
Tang Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, touched his nose, and asked doubtfully: "Aren't you going to snatch it this time?"
"Well, if the matter is revealed, my Ye family will also lose face. It's better to buy it back if you can." Ye Xiao replied.
"Okay!" Tang Ji patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the crowd.
At this time, Yuan Daqiang was surrounded by people. Hearing the promises made by everyone, he seemed a little impatient and shouted: "I said, I want to see the silver now, one thousand five hundred taels, is there any more?"
Tall?"
Hearing this, everyone could only choose to give up, after all, they really wouldn't be able to get so much money for a while.
The corner of Lu Ying's mouth raised. He didn't expect that the sword would end up in his hand after going around a lot. He walked forward slowly: "Brother Yuan, among the people present, there is probably no one who can spend more money than Lu."
, let’s not waste any more time, how about giving me the sword and I’ll take you to get the silver?”
Yuan Daqiang lowered his head and glanced at the long sword in his hand. If his mother hadn't been seriously ill and he was in urgent need of a sum of money, he would definitely keep this sword. He looked around and saw no more words, so he sighed and was about to agree.
Suddenly I heard a voice coming from the front.
"Wait a minute, this is a divine sword after all. One thousand five hundred taels is too little, right? I'll give you one thousand six hundred taels!" Tang Ji walked out of the crowd, waved his sleeves lightly, and said calmly.
Lu Ying, who was feeling proud, saw someone coming out to negotiate the price. He narrowed his eyes and cursed twice in his mind, "Damn pretty boy," and then said: "One thousand, seven hundred taels!"
"One thousand and eighty!"
"One thousand and nine!"
"Two..." Lu Ying was about to add another hundred taels of silver, but suddenly remembered that he only had more than one thousand nine hundred taels, and took a deep breath: "One thousand nine hundred and fifty taels!"
Tang Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly. The Ye family had a great business. He could probably spend tens of thousands of taels, not to mention a few thousand taels, and continued: "Two thousand taels!"
"You!" Lu Ying raised his eyes and glared at Tang Ji. His pupils turned. After thinking for a while, he raised his hand and said to the people around him: "Everyone, is there anyone willing to lend Lu a few hundred taels of silver? I will definitely pay the principal with interest in the future."
repay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a man stood up from behind and said, "Hahaha, Master Lu, I have five hundred taels of silver that I can lend to you. Could you please give me some advice?"
Immediately, Lu Ying immediately replied with a smile: "It's easy to say, it seems that the elder brother has reached the bottleneck of the third rate, Lu can help you enter the second rate!"
"Okay, have fun, Master Lu!" The man laughed.
Lu Ying turned to look at Tang Ji again and snorted: "Two thousand one hundred taels!"
Tang Ji touched his chin and thought for a while, then replied: "Five hundred taels, right? Then I will pay you two thousand five hundred taels!"
Lu Ying clenched his fists. He had just borrowed five hundred taels, but the other party directly raised the price to a price that he could not afford. He turned to look at the man who had just lent him the money. When he saw the latter shaking his head, he gritted his teeth and said: "
Boy, can you get two thousand five hundred taels?"
"Now you don't have to worry about it, how about it? Can I add more?" Tang Ji crossed his arms and replied with a smile.
Lu Ying looked around again, but this time no one stepped forward to help him. He could only wave his sleeves to give up, and turned around and left after saying: "Boy, just wait for me!"
Yuan Daqiang was naturally very happy when one thousand five hundred taels was raised to two thousand five hundred taels. After making inquiries and confirming that no one could offer a higher price, he smiled and said to Tang Ji: "Master, let's go
Look at the silver?"
Tang Ji turned to look at Ye Xiao, and when he saw the other party nodded, he replied: "Then let's go."
Looking at the two people leaving, everyone sighed. Some people lamented that it was great to have money. They could just spend a few thousand taels to buy a sword. Some people lamented that it was great to be strong in martial arts. They made thousands in the blink of an eye.
Two silver coins...
Tang Ji took Yuan Daqiang into the backyard. Ye Xiao had also asked his servants to prepare the money in advance, and both parties paid the money and delivered the goods.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. Hey, thank you so much, Mr. Tang!" Yuan Daqiang put the silver in a large sack on his back, said hello with a smile, and turned to leave.
After he left, Ye Xiao came out: "Actually, what the assassin left behind was a broken sword. This frost was copied by the top forger of my Ye family, but the materials and forging techniques are different.
They are all the best, and it is definitely worth buying them for more than 2,000 taels of silver."
Tang Ji nodded, and then he asked how it was possible for an assassin to leave the murder weapon at the scene. Without thinking any more, he handed Han Shuang back to Ye Xiao, only to find that he took small steps backwards and said in confusion: "
Brother Ye, what does this mean?"
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Heroes wear divine swords. I admire them and admire them very much, Brother Tang. I will give you this sword."
