At this time, a tall and round passerby took a step forward and said to Xue Chen: "If you broke someone else's treasure, you should pay for it. Don't even think about denying it. We can all see it clearly. Even if you call the police
, we are all witnesses, you were the one who broke the thing, if I were you I would pay the money and keep it private."
"Yes, you were the one who hit me, please pay me immediately."
"Don't deny it, and don't try to run away. If you want to run away, it won't be fifty thousand."
Suddenly, more "passers-by" came forward to speak, all urging Xue Chen to compensate.
Seeing so many "passers-by" speaking for him, the man in gray clothes became more confident and urged Xue Chen to pay for it quickly.
Xue Chen looked at some of the passers-by who were "speaking out for justice" expressionlessly, then looked at the fierce-looking man in gray clothes in front of him, and said calmly: "It's okay to pay, but can you let me see your smashed treasure?
"
"I can let you take a look, but you must pay immediately afterward. If you dare to deny it, don't blame me for being rude!" The man in gray clothes snorted.
Ignoring this person's words, Xue Chen went over and took a closer look at the broken porcelain pieces in his pocket, and then reached out to touch them.
But as soon as he touched it, the cloth pocket was closed, and the man in gray said solemnly: "Okay, now that you have seen it and touched it, hurry up and pay."
"Okay." Xue Chen shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless expression on his face, took out his wallet and took out a wad of cash, and said, "I don't have that much money on me, only fifteen thousand yuan.
"
The man in gray clothes thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed the fifteen thousand yuan in cash from Xue Chen's hand, and then snorted coldly: "It's bad luck for me." After saying that, he turned around and left, but as soon as he took two steps, someone stopped.
He was stopped by Xue Chen.
"The money has been compensated to you, but the broken porcelain should belong to me." Xue Chen said.
The man in gray didn't say much. He glanced at Xue Chen with a mocking look, threw the pocket in his hand on the ground, quickly got out of the wall surrounded by passers-by and disappeared, and the passers-by who just spoke were also in the same place.
The moment left quietly.
Xue Chen didn't even look at the man who left. He bent down and picked up the black cloth bag abandoned on the ground. His eyes flashed and he said nothing as he walked outside silently.
Some passers-by who had not yet walked away shook their heads and sighed, looking at Xue Chen with pity, as if they dared to be angry but dare not speak.
Just when Xue Chen had walked not far, someone from behind suddenly called out to him: "Kids in front of you, please wait a moment."
Xue Chen stopped and looked back, and saw an old man in his fifties who was short in stature and wearing glasses running towards him, looking very anxious.
"Are you calling me?" Xue Chen asked.
"Yes, I just called you." The little old man panted and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and stood in front of Xue Chen.
"Is something wrong?" Xue Chen asked again.
The little old man came over and whispered: "You have been deceived. Those people just now are professionals."
"Oh." Xue Chen nodded nonchalantly, "Thank you, I understand." After saying that, he turned around and continued walking.
But the little old man followed suit and said hurriedly: "You must be a foreigner. They must think you are a foreigner, so they are blackmailing you."
Xue Chen simply replied: "Your accent doesn't sound like a local to me."
The little old man hesitated for a moment without saying anything. After a few more steps, he hesitated and said, "Can you let me see the cloth bag in your hand?"
"There's nothing interesting to see, just some broken pieces of porcelain." Xue Chen glanced sideways at the little old man.
The little old man hesitated for a moment and then said decisively: "You were defrauded of fifteen thousand just now. I think you are very pitiful. Why don't you give me the cloth bag and I will give you fifteen thousand to prevent you from suffering losses."
Hearing what this person said, Xue Chen paused, glanced at the little old man in front of him with some surprise, and said: "Thank you, but I don't know you, so how can I have the nerve to let you bear the loss."
Xue Chen was tall and had long steps. One step was two steps ahead of the little old man, but the little old man still trotted beside him and said breathlessly: "You...you walk slowly, there is a pile of broken porcelain pieces, you keep them."
It’s useless, why not sell it to me for fifteen thousand?”
"I told you, I don't know you, and I'm sorry to cause you any loss." Xue Chen simply replied.
The little old man scratched his ears and seemed anxious. Seeing that Xue Chen still refused to sell to him, his heart was shocked. He looked up at Xue Chen's face with twinkling eyes: "Did you see something?
coming?"
Xue Chen remained silent.
"I know, I know! No wonder you gave the money so happily. It turns out you saw it too. Is that really, really..." The little old man's eyes widened, with a look of shock on his face, and he gasped
Atmosphere.
When Xue Chen saw this little old man pestering him, he couldn't rush him away. A taxi happened to drive by the roadside. He waved to stop and immediately got in.
When the little old man saw Xue Chen getting into the taxi, he immediately became anxious. He patted the window twice and said with a blushing face: "Don't leave. Give me a look to see if it's true. If it's true, the price can be negotiated."
.”
But Xue Chen ignored it at all. He said to drive, and the driver stepped on the accelerator and threw away the little old man standing on the roadside who was jumping anxiously.
The little old man stood on the side of the road, watching the taxis driving away, and wanted to stop a taxi to follow him. However, after waiting for more than a minute, no taxi passed by, and the taxi in front had already passed.
Has disappeared.
"Oh, this brat is so cunning!" The little old man stamped his foot depressedly, with a look of annoyance on his face.
At the same moment, in a teahouse next to Jinlong Antique City, the man in gray who had just broken the treasure was drinking tea with four people, and the other four people were the passers-by who had just spoken to them.
The man in gray took out the fifteen thousand yuan that he had just received from Xue Chen. There were five people in total, and each of them got exactly three thousand yuan.
After getting the money, the five people were all smiling. They all said that today's business should be the easiest one, and there was still as much as fifteen thousand. Normally, a business was only three to five thousand, and it often cost a lot of money.
It's possible to get it only after a big setback.
"Third brother, come on, where did you buy those piles of broken porcelain and how much did you spend? The four of us will reimburse you. You contributed the most this time and we can't let you spend more money." The first one at the time.
The strong man opened his mouth and said to the man in gray.
"Originally, I wanted to get a few broken bowls for eating, but after thinking about it, since we have to eat this food, we need a professional store. I went to Yao Laoer's store last night and bought a bunch of broken broken porcelain pieces.
, it cost me two hundred yuan, which is not much money." The man in gray sipped his tea and waved his hand carelessly.
"Damn, Yao Laoer is really evil. If you dare to ask for two hundred for a pile of broken porcelain pieces, I'll smash up his little shabby shop one day." Another ruffian man snorted.
"Haha, it was not sold by Yao Lao'er, but by Yao Lao'er's youngest son. That day, Yao Lao'er's youngest son went to Yao Lao'er to ask for money to recharge the game, but Yao Lao'er refused to give it. By chance, I went there, then
The boy conveniently sold me the pile of broken porcelain pieces in the box on the counter." The man in gray said with a smile.
After they drank a few cups of tea, they started drinking together, then went to the bathing center to take a steam and find a girl to massage them.
Just when the five people were about to walk out of the box, a middle-aged man with a long face and narrow eyes appeared at the door and was sweating profusely. He stopped the five people and left them breathless.
"Hey, Yao Laoer, what's wrong with you? There's a dog chasing you from behind. You're running like you've lost your soul." The man in gray clothes joked with a smile.
Yao Laoer took a step forward, grabbed the chest of the man in gray clothes, and asked loudly: "Jia San, let me ask you, where did you get those broken porcelain pieces you bought from our store, and return them to me quickly.
"
Jia San saw that his chest was being grabbed tightly, and he frowned unhappily: "Yao Laoer, let me go. What are you doing with that pile of broken porcelain pieces? I had already thrown them away."
"Throw it away? Where did you throw it? Find it back for me quickly! Otherwise I will never be done with you." Yao Laoer said through gritted teeth.
At this time, the other four people saw that something was wrong with Yao Laoer's attitude. They used to talk and laugh with the five of them, but why did they look like this today, as if they had a big feud.
"Isn't it just a pile of broken porcelain pieces? As for that, Yao Laoer."
"It's just that, looking at you like this, you seem to have lost your soul."
"Let go, speak slowly if you have anything to say, come sit down and have a sip of tea."
Yao Laoer gritted his teeth and sat down, then picked up the teapot and drank a few big sips. After wiping his mouth, he said solemnly: "Those are not ordinary broken pieces of porcelain. Those were put by Mr. Jin to me.
Let me help him fix it."
"It belongs to Mr. Jin?" The five people were all surprised.
"That pile of broken porcelain fragments can be sold for five or six hundred thousand yuan. If it is repaired, it will be worth at least two million. If I can't find it, I will be in bad luck. You won't have to make a living in the antique street in the future.
, Get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise Mr. Jin will be angry and all your legs will be broken!" Yao Laoer gasped, with a livid look on his face.
After listening to Yao Laoer's words, the five members of Pengci all took a breath, their faces turned pale, and they realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Why don't you tell me where to throw it?" Yao Laoer urged.
The man in gray looked pale, pursed his lips, and said slowly: "It was taken away by a young man not long ago..."
Yao Laoer simply listened to the whole thing, and was trembling with anger. He slapped his thigh, poked the five people in the forehead with his finger, and said bitterly: "You five stupid donkeys, haven't you realized yet?"
This is a smart person. It's over. He really tricked me. He must have seen the origin of the pile of broken porcelain pieces, so he let you get it so easily. How can you be trying to porcelain? It's just a gift.
