"This guest, thirty thousand gold coins, are you sure?"
Not only the guests, but also the head shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai also doubted whether they had heard wrongly.
"Big shopkeeper, I'm sure."
Xu Taiping nodded.
The reason why he raised the price to 30,000 gold coins in one go was not only to save trouble, but also to anger Qi Yu.
Being angry with Qi Yu has two benefits.
First, let this disaster be completely locked on Qi Yu.
Second, people will lose their minds when they are angry.
Qi Yu, who has lost his mind, is naturally less difficult to deal with.
After receiving Xu Taiping's affirmative reply, the shopkeeper took a deep look to confirm that Xu Taiping's mind was normal, and then nodded slightly and said:
"My guest, Mr. Xu, is willing to offer thirty thousand gold coins. I would like to ask you, is there anyone who is willing to increase the price?"
When saying this, the shopkeeper glanced at all the guests, and finally his eyes fell on Qi Yu.
The other customers in the pawn shop were all similar. When the shopkeeper said this, they looked directly at Qi Yu.
After all, from the first bid, this auction has become a competition between Xu Taiping and Qi Yu.
After realizing that everyone was looking at him, Qi Yu's already ugly face suddenly became even more ferocious.
Everyone could even feel the killing intent coming from him.
The reason why he was so angry, besides Xu Taiping's price increase that seemed to humiliate him, was more importantly because he really couldn't afford 30,000 gold.
Now he can barely scrape together twenty-seven thousand.
This feeling of knowing that others are humiliating you but you can't resist is something he has never experienced as the eldest son of the Qi family.
At this moment, a subordinate next to Qi Yu suddenly stood up and whispered something in his ear.
After listening to the words of his subordinate, Qi Yu's originally gloomy expression suddenly
Suddenly it was clear, and then he stood up, raised his hands to the shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai and said:
"Big shopkeeper, this guy's identity is unknown. He just increased the amount of gold from 20,000 to 30,000 in one go. It seems like someone has been sent to disrupt the situation."
"I don't believe he can really come up with 30,000 gold coins!"
Hearing this, many guests present also nodded slightly, feeling that Qi Yu was right.
"Mr. Qi, whether Brother Taiping can come up with 30,000 gold coins is something that Shiyi Zhai should worry about, not you!"
Chu Xiaoxiao, who was completely impressed by Xu Taiping's "courage", retorted on the spot.
Qi Yu ignored Chu Xiaoxiao and continued to look at the big shopkeeper and said: "Big shopkeeper, you can think about it. If you find that he can't come up with so much money during the transaction later, let us
When I made the bid, the price for my Qi family was not the same as it is now!"
These words were obviously threatening the big shopkeeper.
And his words also touched the big shopkeeper's weakness.
Because if Xu Taiping really can't come up with 30,000 gold coins later, it will definitely be difficult for him to sell the Panlong Tower at a good price.
"Sir, this is your first time doing business in my Shilizhai, and you have such a large sum of money. To be cautious, can you prove to yourself whether you can afford thirty thousand gold coins?"
The big shopkeeper looked at Xu Taiping with an apologetic look.
"Amitabha, great shopkeeper, I remember that there seems to be no such rule in Shilizhai."
Monk Chongde frowned and looked at the big shopkeeper.
"this……"
Hearing this, the big shopkeeper's face suddenly turned ugly.
Monk Chongde was considered the number one figure in the capital, and the shopkeeper did not dare to offend him easily.
"Okay, big shopkeeper, I can take out three
I have paid ten thousand gold to prove it myself, but after I prove it, please let Mr. Qi and his people leave the Scavenging House. With such people around, I am not in the mood to continue to stay in your Scavenging House."
Xu Taiping patted Monk Chongde on the shoulder, then stood up and looked at the big shopkeeper calmly.
The reason why he did this was, firstly, to spare time to prepare for the interception and killing of the Qi family. If they kept staring at them, they might find a flaw. Secondly, he really wanted to buy something from the Shiyi Zhai.
Leave some things before leaving.
The big shopkeeper thought about it seriously, then nodded, looked at Qi Yu and said: "If Mr. Taiping can prove himself, please ask Mr. Qi to take the people out of the Supplementary Room."
"Can!"
Qi Yu replied in a very loud voice.
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately took out a money bag from the gourd.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Taiping directly threw the money bag in his hand towards the big shopkeeper on the stage, and then said loudly: "Big shopkeeper, you can see for yourself."
Seeing this scene, Qi Yu's heart tightened, and he secretly thought that Xu Taiping could really come up with 30,000 gold coins?
But immediately he denied it in his heart:
"Absolutely impossible, he is just bluffing!"
"Thank you Mr. Taiping for your trust."
At this time, the shopkeeper who received the money bag bowed respectfully to Xu Taiping, and then opened the money bag carefully.
He was not Qi Yu who lost his mind because of anger. When he saw Xu Taiping taking out his money bag so calmly, he actually believed that Xu Taiping was the one who could take out thirty thousand gold coins.
"Crash..."
As the big shopkeeper turned the mouth of the money bag downward, gold coins fell to the ground like running water.
And as the gold coins on the ground piled higher and higher, Qi Yu's face began to become more and more ugly.
In the end, when
When he saw that the pile of golden money was almost as high as the desk, Qi Yu's face turned as pale as paper.
"Mr. Qi, please take your people and leave!"
Suddenly, the voice of the head shopkeeper of Shiyi Zhai woke up the stunned Qi Yu like thunder.
"snort!"
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then stared at Xu Taiping with a distorted face and snorted coldly, and then said to his subordinates: "What are you still standing there for? Get out of here!"
"Master Heavenly Protector, please be careful about this person when you leave later."
After sensing the killing intent coming from Qi Yu, Monk Chongde quickly sent a message to Xu Taiping.
At this time, Xu Taiping was on stage taking over the trapped dragon tower from the big shopkeeper.
After hearing Chongde's message, he just smiled lightly and said:
"Will do."
Chongde's reaction made Xu Taiping even more convinced that angering Qi Yu was the right thing to do.
…
Shiyi Zhai, downstairs.
"You guys keep a close eye downstairs. Once Xu Taiping comes downstairs, you will send a message to me."
Qi Yu, whose face was livid, glared viciously at the subordinates behind him.
Several of his subordinates immediately agreed and hid themselves very skillfully around the Scavenging Room. It seemed that they often did this kind of thing.
After instructing several of his subordinates, Qi Yu took out another jade slip and held it in his hand. While walking towards the teahouse opposite, he used his mind to transmit the message to the other end of the jade slip:
"Third uncle, something happened."
"The Panlong Tower was robbed by a boy who appeared out of nowhere."
"Call your fourth uncle and fifth uncle, and then bring along our Qi family's Xuanyi guards. We will set up a trap to intercept and kill that kid nearby and take him back to Panlong Tower."
"The Panlong Pagoda is something that the ancestor asked for. If it is really lost, Third Uncle, you, like me, will inevitably be punished."
