Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Asking Prices

The sun is shining, and today is actually a good day. Ye Kai strode out of Lengxiang Garden, looking even more proud, because he had already eaten a big bowl of hot stewed chicken noodles. The noodles are eaten in Lengxiangyuan. Early this morning, Shangguan Xiaoxian asked someone to start a gang in the kitchen. ——Having money can turn ghosts into millstones, and no matter what money gang does, it seems to be much faster than others. And the taste of that bowl of stewed chicken noodles was much better than any bowl of noodles Ye Kai had ever eaten. It wasn't because he was particularly hungry.It was because the noodle maker was specially recruited from Hangzhou Kuiyuan Restaurant.

——No matter what they do in the money gang, they are all top-notch talents. It seems that this is not bragging. Ye Kai ate up the bowl of noodles, but felt uncomfortable. He couldn't see more and more how powerful the Qiang Gang was, he couldn't even imagine it. After turning a few streets, you will find the lively Taipingfang. Ye Hua spent 30 Wen to buy a large bag of peanuts, and another 50 Wen to buy two long bamboo poles. He has learned to peel peanuts when he is nervous. Having something to do can always relax people's nerves. But what did he buy the bamboo yu for?

Yanping Gate is in the south of the city. Passing through Fengzefang and Daixianfang is Yanping Gate. ——Every day at noon, I don’t know how many people go in and out of Yanping Gate. This sentence is not false. Standing on the street of Taixianfang and looking over, there are crowds of people of all kinds inside and outside the city gate. ——You still can’t see who Gu Feng is. Ye Kai really couldn't see it. He first sat in the teahouse and drank a pot of tea, then asked the buddy for a rope and a piece of red paper. Then he used the pen and ink on the cabinet to write eight big characters on the red paper.

"Sell at a high price, and you will know the home when you sell the goods." Although I haven't picked up a pen for a long time, these eight characters are actually well written. Ye Kai picked up the red paper with two bamboo poles, put it at the gate of the city, read it twice, and felt very satisfied with himself. But what is it that he wants to "sell at a high price"? Could it be himself? Of course Ye Kai would not betray himself. The sun was getting higher and higher, and it was almost noon. He suddenly took out a bronze mask and a jade tablet from his pocket, tied them with a rope, and hung them high on a bamboo pole.

This is Dorja's relic. The ferocious bronze mask gleamed blue in the sun, but the jade plaque was crystal clear and round, precious and lovely. People who entered and exited the city gate couldn't help but look at him more, but no one came to care. This mask is really terrible, no one wants to buy such a mask to take home. Of course Ye Kai is not in a hurry. The mask was just his bait for a big fish. —a big fish that eats people. Suddenly, a black-painted cart stopped in front. This car came from outside the city. It was about to drive past, but it stopped suddenly. A middle-aged man with a white face and a slight beard in gorgeous clothes stretched out his head to stare at the mask and jade plaque on the bamboo pole, then opened the car door and walked out.

Finally, a business came to the door. Ye Kai was still very calm. If you want to catch big fish, you must be calm. The middle-aged man walked over with his hands behind his back, a pair of shrewd and sharp eyes, staring at the bamboo pole all the time, suddenly asked: "Is this for sale?" Ye Kai nodded. Pointing to the eight characters on the red paper. The middle-aged man said indifferently: "This piece of jade is Chinese jade, but it's a pity that the carving is a bit poor." Ye Kai said: "Not only is the carving work poor, but the jade is also not very good."

The middle-aged man showed a smile on his face, and said: "You are very honest in business." Ye Kaidao: "I am an honest person." The middle-aged man said: "But I don't know what price you want to sell it for?" Ye Kai said: "High price." The middle-aged man said: "How much is the high price?" Ye Kai said: "You might as well make a price first." The middle-aged man looked him up and down a few times, then at the jade plaque on the bamboo pole, and said, "How about thirty taels?" Ye laughed. The middle-aged man also laughed, and said: "Although the price I have paid is too high, but a gentleman, I don't want to kill you again."

Ye Kai said: "Thirty taels?" The middle-aged man said: "It's ten taels of silver and thirty taels." Ye Kai said, "Which one do you want to buy?" The middle-aged man said: "Of course it is this jade token." Ye Kai said: "Thirty taels can only buy this bamboo pole." The smile on the middle-aged man's face suddenly disappeared, and he lowered his face and said, "How much do you want?" Ye Kai said: "Thirty thousand taels!" The middle-aged man almost shouted: "Thirty thousand taels?" Ye Kaidao: "It's 30,000 taels of silver."

The middle-aged man looked at him in surprise, as if he were looking at a madman. Ye Kai said leisurely: "Although the quality of this jade plate is not very good, and the carving is also poor, but if you want to buy it, it will cost you 30,000 taels, and I won't sell it for less." The middle-aged man turned around and left without saying a word. Ye Kai laughed again.The people who watched the excitement nearby were also laughing. "One piece of jade plaque wants to sell for 30,000 taels. Could it be that this kid is poor and crazy?" "At this price, only a lunatic would buy it."

Of course there is no more fun to watch.The black-painted cart had turned the corner, and the onlookers were getting ready to leave. Unexpectedly, there was a neighing sound from behind the corner of the street again, and the big black painted cart suddenly came back, even faster when it came than when it went. The horsewhip driving the carriage was raised high, and with a whistle, the carriage stopped in front again. The middle-aged man pushed the door open again and came down. With a strange expression on his fair face, he strode up to Ye Kai and said, "You just asked for 30,000 taels?"

Ye Kai nodded. The middle-aged man suddenly took out a stack of bank notes from his body, counted and counted, and it was thirty. "Take it." He actually handed over all the thirty bank notes to Ye Kai. Ye Kai didn't reach out to pick it up, but frowned and asked, "What is this?" The middle-aged man said: "This is a bank note, all issued by the four major constants in the capital, and it is guaranteed to be fully honored." Ye Kaidao: "The guarantee is fully fulfilled?" The middle-aged man said: "My surname is Song. I opened the 'Shibaozhai' that specializes in jade and antiques in the west of the city. Some of the neighbors here must recognize me." "Shibaozhai" has been a gold-lettered signboard for many years, and Boss Song is also one of the richest men in the city. Someone in the crowd did recognize him. However, Boss Song, who has always been the most proficient in business, is willing to spend 30,000 taels of silver for a jade plaque?Could it be that he is also crazy? Ye Kai still refused to reach out to pick it up, and asked again: "How much is this bank note?" Boss Song said: "Of course it is 30,000 taels. This is a bank note of 1,000 taels. There are 30 bills in total. You might as well count them first." Ye Kai said: "No need to order, I trust you." Boss Song finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Can I take this jade plaque away now?" Ye Kai said: "No." Boss Song was startled, and said, "Why not?" Ye Kai said: "Because the price is wrong." Boss Song's pale face had turned yellow, and he lost his voice and said, "Didn't you just agree on 30,000 taels?" Ye Kai said: "That's the price just now." Boss Song said, "What about now?" Ye Kaidao: "Now it costs 300,000 taels." "Three hundred thousand taels?" Boss Song finally cried out, the expression on his face was like that of a cat whose tail was suddenly stepped on. The expressions of the people watching the excitement were not much different from his. Ye Kai didn't even have any expression on his face, and said leisurely: "This piece of jade is not good, and the carving is also poor, but now no matter who wants to buy it, it will cost 300,000 taels, and it will not be sold if it is less." Boss Song stomped his feet, turned his head and walked away. He walked very fast, but when he got to the carriage, his steps slowed down instead, and he had that strange expression on his face again, as if he was in fear. What is he afraid of? There was something in his own carriage that could frighten him. The strangest thing is that the price of 30,000 taels obviously made him angry, so why did he go and come back? Ye Kai's eyes were shining, and he kept staring at the window of the carriage, but it was a pity that the carriage was too dark, and he couldn't see anything from the sunlight outside. Boss Song was about to pull the car door, but he didn't know why, so he just stretched out his hand and then took it back. It seemed that someone in the carriage spoke softly, but no one could hear what he said. Boss Song heard it, and the expression on his face was as if he had been kicked suddenly again. Who is in the car? Why have you been hiding inside and not showing your face? What is he saying? Why was Boss Song so surprised when he heard his words? The light in Ye Kai's eyes flickered, as if he had found the answers to some questions. ——The one who wants to buy this jade plaque now is not Boss Song, but the man hiding in the carriage. ——He refused to come forward, so he forced Boss Song to buy it. ——Boss Song was obviously threatened by him, and he couldn't buy it if he wanted to. --This.What method did people use to threaten Boss Song?Why do you have to buy this jade token? ——Other than people from the Demon Cult, who else would pay such a high price for a jade token? ——Could this person be Gufeng? Of course, the sunshine in the cold winter is not too strong, and the wind blowing on people is still very cold. But Boss Song was already sweating profusely. He stood in front of the car door in a daze, his hands trembling, suddenly heaved a long sigh, turned around and walked back, the expression on his face looked like a death row prisoner who was bound to the execution ground. Ye Kai watched him approaching, and said leisurely: "You are willing to pay 300,000 taels now?" Boss Song clenched his fists tightly, and actually nodded his head, dripping with sweat, gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Three hundred thousand is three hundred thousand." Ye laughed. Boss Song looked at him in surprise and said, "What are you laughing at?" Ye Kai said: "I'm laughing at you." Boss Song said, "Laugh at me." Ye Kai said: "I was laughing at why you didn't buy it just now." Boss Song said: "Now..." Ye Kaidao: "The price now is different from just now, it costs three million taels now, and I won't sell anything less." Boss Song jumped up: "Three million taels?" This imposing big boss now yelled and jumped like a child: "You...you...you are simply a robber. You have a dark heart." Ye Kai said lightly: "If you think the price is too high, you don't have to buy it. I didn't force you." Boss Song stared at him fiercely, as if he wanted to bite him, he opened his mouth wide to say something, but he couldn't catch his breath, suddenly fell to the ground, and was so angry that he passed out. The spectators were also staring at Ye Kai, everyone thought that this person was not only a robber, but also darker than a robber. Ye Kai didn't care at all, and suddenly smiled at the carriage: "Since your Excellency wants this thing, why don't you come and buy it yourself?" There was no movement in the carriage. Ye Kaidao: "If Your Excellency is willing to come forward by yourself, I may not want a penny, and I will give it to Your Excellency." In the carriage that had been silent all this time, someone suddenly let out a sneer like a blade. "real?" Ye Kai smiled and said: "I am an honest person, I never tell lies." "it is good!" As soon as the word was uttered, there was a sudden "boom", and the brand-new black-painted carriage was suddenly smashed to pieces. The driver almost fell in a somersault, and the horse pulling the cart raised its head and neighed—— A person appeared in the carriage. A tower-like giant, bare-chested, wearing a pair of scarlet leggings, with a gold belt wider than a hand tied around his waist, a pair of copper bell-like eyes staring fiercely at Ye Kai, looking alive Like a monster that just broke free from its cage. The crowd was in chaos. The giant clenched its fists bigger than the bowl of vinegar, and walked towards Ye Kai step by step. Whether it is a human or a horse, the first reaction to sudden shock is usually the same. --run. Run as fast as possible and as far as possible. But now the two horses pulling the cart did not run out. Just hissing in shock, the person stood up. Because the giant pulled the chariot with his backhand, the two horses couldn't even take a step forward. Although the crowd was chaotic, they did not run away.Because everyone wants to see how it ends. In any case, this can be regarded as a once-in-a-century strange event. Everyone looked at this giant who could pull a galloping horse with one hand, and then looked at Ye Kai. Anyone could see that Ye Kai must be the one who was unlucky. It seems that this giant can knock Ye Kai's head flat with just one finger. Ye Kai smiled. He smiled and suddenly asked, "How tall are you?" At this time, although the question was a strange one, the giant still replied, "Nine and a half feet." Ye Kaidao: "Nine feet and a half is indeed not short." The giant proudly said: "There are not many people in this world who are taller than me." Ye Kaidao: "A weapon is one inch long and one inch strong. If you have a gun, it must be a good gun." The giant said: "I am not a gun." Ye Kaidao: "There are many other things that are distinguished by length. For example, a long bamboo pole is more expensive than a short one, so if you are a bamboo pole, it must be very valuable." He sighed and said, "It's a pity that you are not a bamboo pole either." The giant said: "I am a human being." Ye Kaidao: "It's really a pity because you are human." The giant stared and said, "What's the pity?" Ye Kai said indifferently: "Only people never classify high and low by length. If a person's limbs are too developed, his mind will often be very simple. Therefore, the longer a person is, the less valuable he is." The giant roared and rushed over like an elephant. It seemed that he didn't need to make a move at all, and he could knock Ye Kai to death. Even a big tree can't stand his bump. It's a pity that Ye Kai is not a tree either. Of course the giant couldn't knock him down—no one could knock him down all at once. But when the giant bumped into him, Boss Song, who had already fainted from anger, suddenly sprang up from the ground, like an arrow shooting out of a string.Not only did he strike terribly fast, but even more so when he struck. It's a pity that he didn't take Ye Kai's life. The giant rushed over from the front, and Boss Song delivered the fatal blow from behind. Ye Kairen has reached the bamboo pole. No one could have imagined that Boss Song would make a sudden attack, let alone that Ye Kai could dodge it. His person seemed to be blown onto the bamboo pole by the wind, and it seemed to have turned into a flying cloud or a fallen leaf. Boss Song was taken aback. ——How could this blow, which was clearly a surefire blow, come to nothing suddenly? His left elbow touched the ground, his right hand had already drawn out the knife, the knife flashed, and cut the bamboo pole straight. The giant has opened a pair of palms as big as cattail fans, waiting below. Once the bamboo pole is broken, the person on the bamboo pole will fall down. As long as Ye Kai falls, he will fall into the giant's grasp, no matter who falls into his grasp, it will undoubtedly be a very tragic thing. It is easier for him to crush a person's head than a child to crush a clay doll's head. With a sound of "grid", the bamboo pole broke. Some people even exclaimed involuntarily—Ye Kai had indeed fallen to the giant's palm. There was another "bang", one person fell down, and two people flew up. It was the giant who fell down, but Ye Kai and Boss Song flew up. Just as Ye Kai fell down, he suddenly bumped his elbow, and his knee and right elbow hit the giant at the same time. When the giant fell, he was already flying up. Boss Song flew up with him, the saber light was like a rainbow passing through the sky, sharply slashing Ye Kai's waist. Unexpectedly, Ye Kai's waist suddenly swung like a water snake, and his left hand had already clasped Boss Song's right wrist. The knife fell and was inserted obliquely on the carriage. Their people also landed on the carriage. Although the compartment of the carriage was shattered, the chassis was not cracked. The two fell on it at the same time, and the horse pulling the cart was startled again and galloped out with a fright. This time no one pulled them, and no one could hold them. The coachman was already frightened and disappeared. Two frightened healthy horses and an unmanned carriage were galloping through the street. No one but a madman would block its way.People on the street dodge one after another. Boss Song rolled over in the car and wanted to jump up, but a fist was already waiting for him. As soon as he jumped up, he saw this fist, and then he saw countless gold stars.This time he really fainted. Ye Kai exhaled lightly, no matter what kind of person this Boss Song is, he is not an easy person, and it is not easy to tell him to lie down. The healthy horse was still running forward, but Ye Kai didn't intend to hold it back, instead he sat on the driver's seat in front and drove the horse forward. He is going after someone. It is past noon.Ye Kai did not find Potala.Who is he chasing?
