Transmigrate to be an Ancient Saint - C329 Blackheart shop

Along the way to the East City, Xiao Wen discovered that this market was much more prosperous than he had imagined.

Although compared with the markets of the twenty-first century, or perhaps the markets of Korea, the markets here were clearly slightly inferior. However, Xiao Wen realized that this place was not as abandoned as he had thought.

There were all kinds of shops selling jewelry, top quality fabrics, delicacies and even gorgeous weapons. All kinds of noble boys and girls wearing gorgeous clothes were walking on the streets, buying things they liked.

Originally, Xiao Wen wanted to go straight to the tailor shop after entering the East City. Men are like that, after all.

In the twenty-first century, many men go straight to shoe stores when they buy things, such as shoes. When you see a favorite shoe, pick it up immediately and pay the bill to leave.

This was a habit that had evolved for men in primitive societies in order to hunt more efficiently.

However, Xiao Wen had forgotten that in their team, there were two women, Sun Shangxiang and Shangguan Waner.

After entering the East City, Xiao Wen immediately realized that he should not have brought Sun Shangxiang here.

After they stopped the carriage, Sun Shangxiang’s eyes lit up. She immediately ran towards a weapon shop and picked up a gorgeous bronze dagger embedded in a gem. She asked the owner, “Shopkeeper, how much is this?”

At this time, Guan Yu also walked over. He frowned and said, “Sir said that bronze is weak. Weapons made from this thing aren’t of high quality. You’d better not waste your money. ”

However, Sun Shangxiang rolled his eyes and said: “Are you really going to fight with a dagger? This was impossible. Daggers are fine as long as you look good. ”

As she spoke, she browsed through the ruby on her dagger.

Guan Yu could only look at Xiao Wen helplessly. When Xiao Wen saw all of this, he could only helplessly say to Sun Shangxiang: “If you want to buy it, use your own money.”

“It doesn’t matter.” Sun Shangxiang giggled and said: “I have plenty of private money!”

Meanwhile, the manager walked over with a fawning expression. He said, “Miss, the ruby on this dagger was paid to the former Emperor Sui by the Western Regions a hundred years ago. Afterwards, the Sui Nation perished and this gem fell to the outside, and I was lucky enough to obtain it. So I hired a skilled craftsman and set the gem on the dagger. ”

Following that, he pointed to the jade sculpture of the Flying Dragon that was coiled around the handle of the dagger, and said: “The dragon on this is the work of the Ming Kingdom’s jade carving master, Lu Zigang. On it, there is even Master Lu Zigang’s inscription! ” As he spoke, he pointed to a dragon scale above.

Sun Shangxiang took a look and saw that there were indeed a few crooked words written inside these tiny cracks in the dragon’s scales. If not for the owner’s reminder, she would have thought it was a flaw in the jade dragon.

From the looks of it, this was clearly Lu Zigang’s signature.

Therefore, she asked, “Shopkeeper, how much is this dagger?”

The manager squinted his eyes and started laughing. He could tell from Sun Shangxiang’s outfit that Sun Shangxiang was a top-notch noble, thus he extended five of his fingers and said: “I have never seen this lady before, so it must be your first time here. So I’m going to make a friend with you. “Today is my loss of blood. Five hundred silver, how about it?”

Five hundred silver taels?

Hearing this, Sun Shangxiang was overjoyed. This amount of money was nothing to a rich woman like her who had a lot of pocket money.

Therefore, without any hesitation, she took out five hundred taels of silver from her pocket.

Things like silver notes shouldn’t have appeared in the beginning of Tang Dynasty. However, because of the Song Kingdom’s economic development, they had already created a valid banknote. And this thing can circulate in many farming countries.

It was obvious that the owner of this shop was also collecting banknotes. He stretched out his hand and happily took it.

However, Xiao Wen, who was waiting not far away, was dissatisfied with the transaction process.

From his observation, he could tell that the owner was trying to cheat him.

He was unable to see the quality of this dagger from a distance. However, he could tell that when the shop owner introduced the dagger, his body revealed a few expressions that represented he was lying.

Therefore, Xiao Wen made a decision on the spot and directly walked over, grabbing Sun Shangxiang’s silver bills and said: “Ah, it smells good, there’s no need to spend that much money.”

Hearing that, before Sun Shangxiang could say anything, the shopkeeper said: “Sire, do not speak carelessly. I, Old Lin, have opened a shop in the East City for more than ten years. You should ask the people who passed by and whether I have lied to them before? ”

“You did not lie to the nobles of Luoyang because you did not eat grass by your nest. “But we’re all from outside the city, if you don’t kill us, we’ll be at a huge disadvantage.” Xiao Wen sneered.

The shopkeeper with the surname Lin heard Xiao Wen say that, and immediately became angry: “You … You… This is slandering me! ”

Xiao Wen sighed in his heart. Being so close, he could already see the shop owner’s expression that was full of flaws.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Wen immediately extended both his hands out and pressed down on the other party’s body, preventing him from moving.

Following that, Xiao Wen pushed strongly and pressed his head against the weapon rack.

Maybe it was because they trusted the security of the Luoyang, or maybe they felt that no one would dare to cause trouble at the weapon shop, but this weapon shop did not hire any guards.

Under Xiao Wen’s caught off guard, the boss was immediately controlled.

Xiao Wen pressed his head onto the weapon rack, the sharp blade was less than an inch away from the owner’s neck.

Seeing that Xiao Wen could cut his own throat at any time, the boss was scared.

He hurriedly begged for mercy, “My lord, if you have something to say, please say it. What’s the point of doing this!”

“Humph!” “Who was the one who shouted in front of me just now?” Xiao Wen held onto the shopkeeper’s struggling head and said.

“Mercy, my lord!” Mercy, my lord! This little one knows I was wrong. ”

Although the Luoyang had soldiers to maintain law and order, normally, they were just on guard against thieves. As for the nobles who were in conflict with the shopkeepers, the soldiers didn’t dare to care about them.

After all, he was a noble, while he himself was just a commoner. Perhaps, under the sabre and sword, the noble would compromise. However, it was unknown which envious noble would take revenge upon being threatened.

Aristocrat’s moral integrity was not something that could be trusted.

Therefore, in the Luoyang, if there was a business dispute between the merchants and the nobles, perhaps the nobles in the dispute would be seen as dishonorable. However, due to power and influence, the final result would definitely be the merchant giving in.

This shopkeeper had lived in the Luoyang for many years, so he naturally understood this principle.

Thus, he had decided to give in.

Xiao Wen was also very cooperative. Xiao Wen said: “How much do you think my student’s dagger costs?”

“Three… Thirty silver. ” The manager said with a trembling voice.

Thirty taels of silver. This was the price of the dagger.

Hearing that, Sun Shangxiang immediately became angry: A dagger worth thirty liang, you actually want to sell it to me for five hundred liang? How preposterous! ”

The manager could only smile bitterly. He said helplessly, “Eldest Miss, you can’t do anything without deceit. “If I don’t sell it for more, how will I make money?”

“Humph!” Xiao Wen snorted, she did not continue his words, and said: “Thirty silver, who are you lying to? In my opinion, this thing is at most worth five taels of silver! ”

Hearing this, the manager almost vomited blood.

F * ck you, why don’t you just snatch it?

However, the saber blade that was pressing down on his neck kept telling the boss, letting him understand who was in charge of this world.

If Xiao Wen was angry and killed him, Xiao Wen would not have to pay the price.

As such, the shopkeeper was decisive and cowardly. He said to Xiao Wen with a fawning tone, “I was wrong just now. This dagger really did only cost five liang. If the Lord likes it, we can take it away in five taels. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wen nodded his head in satisfaction, and said to Sun Shangxiang: “Girl, just give him five silver.”

However, Sun Shangxiang shook his head and said in disappointment: “This is only worth five liang. I don’t think I need to buy such a cheap item. ”

After saying that, she turned around and left the weapon store.
