This incident was a trap from the beginning. Ma Xiaoyao asked the shopkeeper of Rongbaozhai to make a fake jade pendant, and then Ma Xiaoyao started wandering around various shops in the name of selling jade pendants. As expected, Ma Xiaoyao did what he expected.
After the young master learned that he had a top-quality jade pendant in his hand, he couldn't wait to find him and ask to buy it.
Seeing that Young Master Long had taken the bait, Ma Xiaoyao suddenly became happy.
"I'm interested in this jade pendant. Please give me a price!" Mr. Long held the jade pendant tightly and wouldn't let go.
"Uh... this..." Ma Xiaoyao hesitated for a moment: "This jade pendant is passed down from my family... If I weren't tight, I wouldn't sell it..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me the price quickly!" Young Master Long waved his hand impatiently.
"What...the shop outside was willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver to buy my jade pendant...but I didn't agree..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"What? Three hundred thousand taels of silver?" Mr. Long's eyebrows suddenly stood up: "You really dare to ask for it!"
"Boy, you're tired of living! You even dare to take advantage of Mr. Long!" a scoundrel scolded angrily.
"No... I didn't rip off the money. The shop outside did offer 300,000 taels of silver..." Ma Xiaoyao said anxiously: "This jade pendant is made of high-grade Hetian jade, and it is also an antique, dating back at least hundreds of years.
It’s history…hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are still worth it…”
"Okay." Young Master Long waved his hand impatiently: "I will give you ten thousand taels of silver, and this jade pendant will be mine!"
"Ten thousand taels is too little..." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head vigorously.
"Not enough?" Young Master Long frowned: "Let me tell you! Whatever I like, there is nothing I can't get! I can give you ten thousand taels of silver, which is already very good. Before,
I won’t even give you a tael of silver!”
"Young Master Long, what do you mean? Do you want to take something by force?" Ma Xiaoyao's expression changed.
"I just robbed it, what can you do?" Mr. Long took out a 10,000 tael silver note from his arms and threw it directly at Ma Xiaoyao's feet: "If you are sensible, take the bank note and get out! Don't you dare to chirp again?"
If it’s crooked, I’ll break your legs!”
"Young Master Long, what you are doing is a bit excessive." A trace of anger flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes. He knew that Young Master Long would not pay too much money to buy it, but he did not expect to pay such a low price...
Ten thousand taels of silver... It's just a joke. Although Ma Xiaoyao doesn't expect to make much money, he can't lose money. You must know that the fifty thousand taels of silver were borrowed from Leng Rufeng. Ma Xiaoyao also plans to sell it at a good price.
Pay off the debt.
"Hey!" Mr. Long's eyes widened: "What's wrong? You still want to argue with me?"
"Crash..."
The surrounding gangsters rushed up to surround Ma Xiaoyao. As long as Young Master Long gave the order, they would give Ma Xiaoyao a harsh lesson. Damn it, even Young Master Long dared to offend him. He really didn't know how to live or die.
Ma Xiaoyao sneered: "Young Master Long, I know you have a strong background, but my background is not bad either. If you dare to touch me today, I promise to make you miserable!"
"Damn it, you dare to threaten us, Mr. Long, I think you are really tired of living!" A bitch raised his foot and kicked Ma Xiaoyao.
"boom!"
Ma Xiaoyao stretched out his hand to block, then pushed, and the loser flew away like a cloud...
"Hey! You dare to do something! You're so damn arrogant! Let's go together and kill him!" A group of scoundrels were all angry.
"Stop!" Young Master Long shouted, "Everyone, stay back!"
Young Master Long had spoken, and of course these scoundrels did not dare to disobey him. They glared at Ma Xiaoyao hatefully and stepped aside.
Young Master Long stood up, walked to Ma Xiaoyao, and said with cold eyes: "You just said... your background is not bad? Then tell me, let me hear what your background is."
"My name is Li Ming." Ma Xiaoyao opened his eyes and lied: "My father-in-law is the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Banner. How about my background?"
"Commander of the White Tiger Banner?" Young Master Long smiled: "I thought it was a great background, but it turns out that he is just the son-in-law of a corrupt commander... Believe it or not, I can make your father-in-law lose his official position and go to jail with just one word!
"
"Believe it!" Ma Xiaoyao nodded: "You, Mr. Long, definitely have this strength! But..." At this point, Ma Xiaoyao's tone turned cold: "My father-in-law has been in the army for so many years, and he still made some connections. How dare you
If you touch my father-in-law, his friends will definitely not sit idly by. They may go to other princes or princes to file a complaint, or they may go directly to the palace to file a complaint with the emperor! My father-in-law’s friends are all either rich or noble, and they
You definitely have this ability! Mr. Long, if this happens, how will you solve it?"
"You..." Mr. Long's face darkened: "You're scaring me!"
Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "No, I didn't scare you, I just told the truth! Young Master Long, I really don't want to be your enemy, but if you insist on bullying me, then I can only resist!"
"You..." Young Master Long was so angry that he could not speak. This was the first time in his life that he had been threatened like this. What was even more annoying was that he was really threatened. Young Master Long knew it very well.
As for his own background, he had done a lot of bad things over the years. If the emperor found out, he would definitely not let him off lightly.
After all, Young Master Long can bully ordinary people, but once he meets someone with a background, he will be intimidated.
"Young Master Long, please return the jade pendant to me." Ma Xiaoyao pressed forward step by step, not giving Young Master Long any time to think.
"Tell me, how much do you want?" Young Master Long said bitterly. He really liked this jade pendant so much that he couldn't bear to give it back to Ma Xiaoyao.
"I just said that the shop outside offered 300,000 taels of silver, but I didn't sell it..." Ma Xiaoyao said.
"Okay, I'll give you three hundred thousand taels of silver too!" Young Master Long said through gritted teeth.
Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips: "Young Master Long, if I could sell it for 300,000 taels of silver, I would have sold it long ago... Well, if you add another 100,000 taels of silver, this jade pendant will be given to you! Originally, I was planning to give it to you.
It’s sold for five hundred thousand taels of silver, but for Master Long’s sake, I’ll give you a discount.”
"Okay, just 400,000 taels of silver!" Young Master Long hesitated and agreed. Although 400,000 taels of silver is a lot, it is still a good deal to buy this jade pendant. Young Master Long has been playing with jade for so many years and has also practiced it.
With his extraordinary eyesight, he could tell at a glance that this jade pendant was not an ordinary item and was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The next thing will be easy to handle. Young Master Long asked his men to bring 400,000 taels of silver notes and handed them to Ma Xiaoyao. After Ma Xiaoyao confirmed that it was correct, he left. Before leaving, Ma Xiaoyao said kindly: "Long
Master, this jade pendant has some aura, if you wear it, it will bring you good luck."
"Young Master Long...are you going to let him go like this?" a subordinate asked unwillingly.
"What?" Young Master Long glanced sideways at his subordinates: "You still want to cause trouble? Didn't you hear what he just said? His father-in-law is the commander-in-chief! If this kind of person is pushed into a hurry, he will cause big trouble.
!”
"It's whatever he says! What if he's lying to us?" the subordinate said.
"Uh..." Mr. Long was stunned: "Yeah, why didn't I think of this level... Go outside and find out. If this guy cheats me, I will definitely not be able to spare him!"
"Yes!" The subordinate nodded, turned around and strode away.
After his men left, Young Master Long began to admire the jade pendant in his hand. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it: "Good thing, really good thing! It's my mother's birthday in a few days. I just gave this jade pendant to my mother. She will definitely
Will be very happy."
"Young Master Long..." The subordinate who went out to inquire for information came back.
"How's the inquiry going?" Young Master Long asked casually.
"Then what... I asked an acquaintance and found out that Han Mingguang, the commander-in-chief of the White Tiger Banner, does have an uncle named Li Ming..."
"So, that guy didn't lie to me?" Young Master Long curled his lips: "In that case, forget it! Anyway, I didn't suffer any loss!"
"We can't cause trouble on the surface, but we can create some stumbling blocks secretly..." the subordinate suggested.
"Well... that's okay! I'll leave this matter to you. Remember, you must be careful and don't let that guy catch us!" Young Master Long ordered.
"Yes, I'll do it right away!" After saying that, his subordinates left happily.
"Let's go back home." Young Master Long carefully put away the jade pendant and left with a bunch of losers.
…
Zhennanhou Mansion.
back yard.
A graceful and elegant woman was sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and admiring flowers. Outside the pavilion was a pond. There were many lotus flowers blooming in the pond, one next to another, very beautiful.
This woman's name is Liu Feiyun, she is the eldest lady of Zhennan Hou and the biological mother of Young Master Long.
"Give me some more water." Liu Feiyun put the empty cup on the table.
"Yes!" A maid came over with a kettle, opened the lid and poured water into the tea cup. For some reason, the maid's wrist flicked slightly, and the hot water in the pot immediately spilled out, all over the table.
, and splashed all over Liu Feiyun.
"Oops!" Liu Feiyun quickly stood up, took out his handkerchief and began to wipe the water stains on his skirt: "You bastard! You are blind!"
"Plop!"
The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard: "Madam, I didn't mean it... I'm sorry... I'm really sorry... I really didn't mean it..."
"This dress is my favorite! Now that you've soiled it... I'm so angry! Come on, drag this maid down and beat her to death!" Liu Feiyun was originally a vicious woman with a heart of snakes and scorpions. The maid dared to offend her.
, she is simply seeking death. She has executed at least dozens of maids and male servants over the years.
"Madam, have mercy on me... Madam, please have mercy on me..." Hearing that Liu Feiyun was about to beat him to death, the maid was so frightened that she lay down on the ground and cried bitterly, banging her head on the ground hard. Within a moment, her scalp was broken.
