Chapter 245 Price increase

The inn was quiet and thought, and I couldn't help but lift the brim of the hat of the hat, staring blankly as Chen Ji walked down the stairs, sitting at the only empty table in the main hall as if no one was there.

The lame guy in the inn carefully brought the tray and put the melon seeds and candied fruits one by one.

Everyone's eyes were on Chen Ji, but Chen Ji seemed to be unaware of it, sitting calmly at the Eight Immortals table, not avoiding the many gazes he cast.

I thought it seemed like there was something in my throat and I couldn't speak for a long time.

When he realized it, he turned around and wanted to leave Longmen Inn, but Li Xuan grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

Qi Jingju blushed: "Brother-in-law, why are we still here? Do you want to see this boy's glory? Let's go and go to other places and may be able to find news!"

Li Xuan took a deep breath and interrupted his brother-in-law: "Chen Ji found a clue here before, and you and I should stay here too. He came to Guyuan for more than ten days later than you and me, but he could be one step ahead of you and me. I found that this Longmen Inn is indeed outstanding. If you want to overshadow his popularity, you have to learn from his strengths."

All thought about it was a little dissatisfied.

Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "Stand and don't move, and see what he is going to do."

I saw Chen Ji stretched out his hand to uncover the mud seal on the wine jar at the Eight Immortals table.

For a moment, everyone looked at him with a sharp look, but did not leave: the news of opening the house would cost a lot of money, who knows if this news is useful? Is it worth it?

Anyway, the news has been sold more than once, and no one wants to be the first person to explore the way.

At this time, the madam Hongxiuzhao covered her face with a silk scarf and chuckled: "This young man is so handsome, I don't know what news you are selling. That brother of the Li family, go and ask?"

The man who had named the madam was pretending that he didn't hear it, and was eating melon seeds on his own.

The madam turned her eyes to the other side again: "That brother of the Zhang family, are you here first?"

The man surnamed Zhang smiled and said, "Sister Dong is here, how dare I act rashly... Third Master?"

The man surnamed Zhang's voice stopped abruptly. He saw the third master suddenly get up, slowly walk to Chen Ji, and asked calmly: "Can you borrow a bowl of wine?"

Chen Ji looked up at him and said with a smile: "Please sit down, Xiaoman, pour wine for this elder brother."

Xiaoman, who was beside him, quickly picked up the jar of wine and filled a bowl of burning knives for the Third Master.

The third master picked up the bowl with his right hand and drank it all. He sipped out a sip of wine and sighed: "I haven't drunk such a strong wine for many years."

Chen Ji thought about it, picked up the jar of wine and filled a bowl for the Third Master: "I saw that when the Third Master got up, I was silent in the hall. I guess he had a very high status in the martial arts world in Guyuan City?"

The third master sneered: "Where is a status or not, it is just a tribute to everyone. In the end, it is a handful of loess and dry bones under the tomb. Why do young men come to Longmen Inn to do business?"

Chen Ji was puzzled. Ordinary people came to buy news and asked for it. They turned around and left. However, the third master did not seem to be here to buy news, but they were just coming to chat with him.

He said frankly: "Of course it's because of lack of money."

The third master looked at Chen Ji for a moment: "Then let's talk about the price."

Chen Ji raised his hand to compete, but suddenly the third master held his wrist.

He looked at the Third Master in confusion. The other party's blind eyes were only turbid whites, which were extremely ferocious.

The third master smiled and explained, "How can there be such a price comparison? People are asked to see it. Don't do this in the future. I'll be treated as a fat sheep... Can I hold hands in my sleeves?"

Chen Ji replied: "Yes."

Holding the hand in the sleeve seems mysterious, but it is actually simple: pinch one finger and pinch two fingers to two. If there is a plural number, pinch one finger and shake your hand, it is eleven.

If you want the other party to lower the price, bend your fingers. The more you bend it, the more you bend it means that you can lower the price.

Before he could react, the third master had already put his palm in his leopard sleeve and reached in front of him: "Come."

Chen Ji reached out and tied up the sleeves of the third master, pinched the other person's two fingers in the sleeve, and 200 taels of silver. The guy said that after burning the knife, the price of the news would be calculated as "100 taels".

But the third master looked at him with a smile, and actually grabbed his five fingers in reverse.

Chen Ji was stunned. What does this mean? The other party only wanted to pay fifty taels of silver?

But after burning a knife and removing the mud seal, how could it be sold for only fifty taels? The bargaining price was too fierce.

Just as Chen Ji was about to refuse, the third master took off a string of Buddhist Tongbao from his wrist and placed it on the table, and pushed it steadily in front of Chen Ji: "This Buddhist Tongbao can be exchanged for 500 taels of silver, I have bought it."

Chen Ji's pupils suddenly contracted. What is this third master doing?

The other party first negotiated the price, but turned around but spoke up to make the price public. He offered 200 taels of silver to the other party, but the other party forced the price to 500 taels!

Giving money?

But why did this third master give himself money? How could he do this business?

When others heard what the third master said, they took a breath: It is not common to open a casket, but the price of these 500 taels is even rarer. In the past, when a casket was opened, a piece of news would be sold for 200 taels of silver.

Buy or not? Everyone hesitated.

At this time, Chen Ji stared at the Third Master, and the other party was also staring at him. The intact right eye was calm, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

etc.

The third master didn't seem to care what the news he was going to sell was. The other party was the first to buy it, but he was just worried that he would lower the price.

Strange and strange, what does the other party mean? Chen Ji was confused.

The third master smiled and urged, "It's time to tell me the news, remember to whisper."

Everyone looked at Chen Ji and the third master closer. Someone raised his ears and wanted to hear them, but they couldn't hear them.

Li Xuan and others stood at the door, and looked on tiptoe, muttering: "Brother-in-law, what news do you think this kid is selling? You can earn five hundred taels of silver by just talking, which will be worth my ten-year salary.

! Could it be that what we did yesterday was sold for money by him?”

Li Xuansi asked: "The news yesterday should not be worth 500 taels. Maybe he has more important news. Five hundred taels of silver is enough to buy dozens of maids and servants in the six-campus farm in the Beijing city."

At this time, the third master stood up with a loud voice and said in surprise: "Are you serious about this?"

Chen Ji hesitated for a moment: "Take it seriously."

The third master clasped his fists and said, "The Buddhist treasure on the table will belong to you, and we will have a date later."

After saying that, the third master turned around and left, leaving a room full of people looking at each other.

The customers who originally thought the price was high were hesitant. It was indeed outrageous to buy a message for 500 taels of silver, but judging from the reaction of the third master, it was obvious that the money was worth it.

Who is the Third Master? He is a giant in Guyuan Dao. What kind of news does it take to shock the Third Master to look like this?

Everyone, look at me, I look at you.

Not only were the guests in the room hesitating, but Chen Ji was also confused. The news he said was that Jing Chaotiance Army was about to siege the city. Yesterday, the spy from Jing Chao attempted to pollute the well water, but was stopped by the prince and the Yulin Army...

This news is important and important, but it may not be worth five hundred taels of silver.

After hearing the news, the third master clearly performed in a hurry, which made others feel itchy.

But Chen Ji couldn't understand why the Third Master did this?

Chen Ji asked Zhang Xia in a low voice: "Have we met this third master before?"

Zhang Xia shook his head: "I haven't seen him before, but I heard his footsteps. He was the one who lives in Room No. 1, Tianzi B next door."

"It's him?!"

Chen Ji tapped the table with his fingers, and the thoughts flashed quickly in his mind: he was waiting for someone to check in Longmen Inn, and the other party followed him... The other party came for him!

While thinking, the madam with Hongxiuzhao stood up and sat opposite Chenji with a fragrant wind. She covered her face with a silk scarf, her eyes were as charming as silk: "Young man, can you give me a discount? I can do anything else.

Local subsidies.”

Xiaoman behind Chen Ji suffocated his nose with disgust: "Where did you get the slut? Who peed in your pants?"

"Why is the girl so mean to speak? Be careful not to get married!" The madam glanced at her fiercely, took off a string of Buddhist treasures from her wrist, pushed them to Chen Ji, smiled and leaned over and said, "Come on, come close.

explain."

Chen Ji frowned, but Xiaoman raised his hand and pushed the madam's head back: "Come on, I'll tell you."

The madam snorted coldly: "Little girl movie!"

Xiaoman frowned: "My young master wants to marry the daughter of a famous family, please don't get involved!"

At the door, Li Xuan's eyes under his hat were like swords. He looked coldly at the madam after hearing the news and got up and left. Then several people stood up at the same time, and they were about to sit next to Chenji to buy the news.

A Yulin Army approached Li Xuan and asked in a low voice: "Commander, do we buy it?"

Li Xuan remained silent.

Qi Jingjing said disdainfully: "Buy something, you must not be cheaper."

Li Xuan said, "Buy! Such an important news, we can go back and report to Your Highness first."

He took off two strings of Buddhist Tongbao, turned around and pointed at a Yulin Army: "You didn't go to Shache Street with you before, he doesn't recognize you, go."

"Yes," Yu Linjun went to line up with Buddhist Tongbao.

After a moment, Yu Linjun came back with a complicated expression.

All of them came forward and asked anxiously: "What news did you buy?"

The Yulin Army general Chen Ji repeated what he said, and his face suddenly sank. He felt like he had eaten a fly: they actually gave Chen Ji five hundred taels of silver for the news they already knew!

Qi Zhenju's face was grim: "Go and take the money back, you must not be so cheap!"

Li Xuan stopped him and said in a deep voice: "How can I get back the money I spent? Don't break the rules here. I'll slap myself, no wonder others."

Qi Jingjing looked at him in disbelief: "Brother-in-law, can you just let it go?"

Li Xuan said calmly: "The Chen boy is also obsessed with greed and short-sighted. I am so arrogant. He dares to sell his highness for his business. His highness will definitely not trust him again. Let's go back and report this matter.

Your Highness.”

All his eyes lit up: "Brother-in-law is very insightful!"
