How I Became the Emperor - Chapter 100
[100. Chapter 100 Showing off each other’s acting skills]
. People are really gone.
Seeing the two Dharma Appearance Masters disappearing from the ‘Tian Xia Ji Jun’, Lu Gan was sure that Zhao Mingyue had really left Sha Shui.
“Troublesome woman!”
Lu Gan frowned, stood up, and walked up to the group of wealthy young men. He stared at them with a cold expression, like a tiger or a python.
The young masters were all stared at with fear all over their bodies.
“Oh, you guys must be hungry. Come on, let me treat you.”
Suddenly, a tall, handsome and masculine man stood up, said hello, and left quickly.
Seeing this, several other people hurriedly followed, as anxious as a fish slipping through the net, fearing that Lu Gan would arrest them and put them in jail.
After everyone had finished walking, Lu Gan waved his hand and smiled like a spring breeze: “Okay, I have driven away the troublemakers. Now let’s start again. You can talk whatever you want, don’t be formal.”
After that, he walked back to the screen, Turn around and sit down.
All the wealthy businessmen looked relieved, and the atmosphere in the hall relaxed and warmed up.
“Then, this is the shop, please bid.”
Ruoshui smiled softly and said softly.
“I will pay two thousand two hundred taels.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle and elegant middle-aged man in white clothes said.
Everyone turned their heads and couldn’t help but be surprised.
Someone asked: “Wen Xiucai, aren’t you in the stone quarry business? Why are you interested in rice shops?”
Wen Xiucai slightly cupped his hands towards Lu Gan and smiled: “This Shashui County bully was raped by Master Lu. It will be cleared out and the railway will be opened in the future. There must be many people settling here. I just bought the rice shop for future plans. I hope I can cooperate with you bosses more in the future.”
After hearing this, everyone nodded secretly.
The truth is that Shashui, Feiyun and Heyuan counties have the lowest crime rate in Qingyang County.
Xie Anping and the other three were imprisoned again. It is estimated that many people will immigrate here.
“Then I’ll offer two thousand one hundred taels.”
“Two thousand three hundred.”
“Two thousand four hundred and fifty.”
…
Almost instantly, the scene became slightly lively, and many wealthy businessmen made bids one after another.
In the end, Wen Xiucai bought the rice shop at a high price of 2,800 taels.
The head of the Town and Fu Division, Mr. Lu, stood up. After collecting the money on the spot, he signed the transaction certificate with Wen Xiucai and stamped it with the official seal of the Town and Fu Division and the seal of the county magistrate.
When everyone saw it, they felt more at ease.
Later, Lu Gan asked people to hand over the land deed of Mipu, as well as the account books, etc. to Wen Xiucai.
For a while, the host and guest each got what they needed.
Lu Gan also received 2,800 taels of silver notes.
Immediately afterwards, rice shops, silk and satin shops, and drug stores were auctioned off. The atmosphere was quite good, at least there were no unsold auctions.
No matter how poorly located a store is, there are still wealthy businessmen raising prices.
It was probably bought and used for other purposes.
The time soon reached noon, Ruoshui smiled softly: “You are probably hungry too, so I won’t waste your time, little lady. This is the last medicine shop to be auctioned today.”
As he said that, Ruoshui raised his hand and pointed at the white cloth. A red circle said: “Yao Ming Pharmacy on Biyun Street has zero silver on its books, 325 taels of debt, and a total of 250 taels of medicinal materials stored in the store. There is also a seventy-year-old doctor in the store. Five apprentices. Everyone, please.”
When the voice fell, all the wealthy businessmen frowned.
Still have debt?
“Ahem, I went to inquire about it. This Yaoming Pharmacy is nicknamed the ‘Korean Pharmacy’. The location is too bad. There are pig and chicken farms not far away, and germs are everywhere. Most of the medicines sold in the store are moldy, and that one The old doctor’s medical skills are very poor, and his medicine often fails to treat the symptoms and worsens the condition. I don’t know why this medicine shop has not closed down yet.”
An old man in green shook his head and sighed.
This is a pit.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.
Ruoshui didn’t urge him and waited quietly.
Among the crowd, Zhang Jinlai frowned, with a look of hesitation on his face.
“Is there no one? If you don’t want it, just pass it. I’m going to eat. Come back tomorrow.”
At this time, Lu Gan stood up and stretched.
When everyone heard this, they were ready to get up and leave.
Most of them did not take action today, waiting for the quarries, battlefields, restaurants, flower houses and other money-making businesses behind them.
“Uh… I’m offering three hundred taels.”
Suddenly, a slightly hesitant voice rang out.
When everyone heard the sound, they turned around and saw a middle-aged man in yellow clothes, with a girl in yellow sitting next to him.
“Eh… isn’t this Zhang Jinlai from Jianjiao County? You don’t sell your Diedai Dali Pills in Jianjiao County? Why did you come to Shashui County?”
Immediately, a fat middle-aged man in white smiled and said with a trace of ridicule.
It seems that there is an old grudge with Zhang Jinlai.
“Humph! So it’s you Zhu Datou, I don’t even bother to argue with you!”
Zhang Jinlai said with a flash of anger on his face and coldly snorted.
“Okay, if there are still no bids, I’ll sell it here…what’s your name?” Lu Gan frowned and said.
“Master Hui Lu, Zhang Jinlai, a common man.”
Zhang Jinlai quickly held his hands in solemnity.
Lu Gan nodded and glanced around the audience. All the wealthy businessmen were silent and no one made a bid.
“Okay, selling more and selling less is still a sale. Zhang Jinlai, come here and I will sell this thing to you.” Lu Gan waved and shouted.
“Wait a minute, Mr. Lu, I’ll give you four hundred taels!”
The fat middle-aged man in white suddenly shouted.
“Zhu Datou, you are raising the price maliciously!” Zhang Jinlai became angry and scolded angrily.
“Sir, the people are not bidding maliciously, they really want it!”
The middle-aged man in white, nicknamed ‘Zhu Datou’, quickly defended himself with a look of injustice on his face.
When Lu Gan saw this, he was not angry. He waved his hand and asked, “Zhang Jinlai, do you still want to bid? If you don’t bid, I will sell to this person.”
When Zhu Datou heard this, his eyes turned into slits and he was very proud. .
It’s only four hundred taels, and it’s certainly worth it to make Zhang Jinlai angry for a day. Who told him not to marry his beautiful daughter to himself as his concubine?
Thinking of this, Zhu Datou glanced at Zhang Ling’er with a squinted look.
Zhang Ling’er sensed his gaze, her beautiful eyes glared, and she raised her fist.
Suddenly, Zhu Datou’s fat body trembled, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
I don’t know if this Ling’er grew up taking Dali Pills. She is so powerful that if she punched her, three of her ribs would be broken.
“Hmph! I’ll pay you five hundred taels!”
At this moment, Zhang Jinlai snorted angrily, with a look of impatience on his face.
“Dad! That medicine shop isn’t worth five hundred taels! Don’t follow the pig’s head to get angry!”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling’er hurriedly pulled his father’s sleeve to dissuade him.
“Hey, the words have been spoken, and it’s hard to take them back! Sir, I’m willing to pay five hundred taels of silver for this piece of gold, and the common people are willing to accept it. I won’t take it anymore.”
The fat middle-aged man in white smiled proudly and cupped his hands.
Everyone present shook their heads when they saw this. How could a businessman get angry so easily? No, he was tricked!
Looking at Zhang Jinlai’s clothes, they were not very luxurious. He thought that the extra two hundred taels of silver he had spent was enough to make him feel distressed.
As expected, Zhang Jinlai’s face fell, with a look of pain and regret.
The acting skills of this father-daughter pair are great!
Lu Gan stood by and watched, nodding secretly in his heart, and said: “Okay! Five hundred taels then! Zhang Jinlai, come here to verify your identity, give me the money, and I will give you the title deed of the drug store.”
“Yes, sir!”
Zhang Jinlai was like a mourning concubine. He walked over and took out five banknotes with great sadness and handed them over.
Immediately, the contract was signed, the seal was stamped, and the deal was concluded.
“Let’s break up! Please be early tomorrow!”
Lu Gan waved his hand and started to chase people away.
All the wealthy businessmen resigned and left the house. A few people who wanted to stay and chat with Mr. Lu were also kicked out by the bronze-armored detectives.
At the gate of the house, some people were happy and some were sad.
“Hey, Zhang Jinlai, you don’t have enough manpower, how about I go to the drug store with you?” A fat middle-aged man in white walked up to Zhang Jinlai and mocked.
“Hmph! Let’s go!”
Zhang Jinlai led Zhang Ling’er, as well as his nephew who was waiting in a carriage in the distance, and got on the carriage and left.
“We’ll follow too!”
The fat middle-aged man in white actually followed him with his men.
Even a few wealthy businessmen who were close to him also went together, ready to watch the joke.
An hour later, the group of people arrived in front of the famous shop.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I smelled the stench of chicken feces in the air. It was the same even in the middle of winter. It can be seen that the smell will be more offensive and strong in summer.
Zhang Jinlai’s face darkened, he covered his nose and knocked on the medicine shop door.
“Why are you shooting? If you’re not dead, just wait until you’re dead. I’m taking a nap!” A strong and angry curse came from inside the door.
After everyone heard this, they finally understood why the business of this drug store was so poor.
This man curses people to death, how does he look like he is opening his business?
