I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

After hearing Xu Liu's words, Qin Shang, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and left in no hurry for a while.

Ma Cai took a step forward, approached Xu Liu and pressed, "Xu Liu, I didn't expect you to be tall and thick, but you are actually smart."

Xu Liu wiped his face and said with a smile: "It's just for a living. Don't worry about it, Master Ma. If someone has dozens of such good horses, I will give you as many as you want. Isn't this right?" Everyone likes my horses, and I don’t want to make more money. Three horses, each worth twenty-five taels of silver. You have also seen the quality of the horses. For the sake of fairness, I can let everyone onlookers bear witness. If anyone recognizes the thing in my hand, all three horses belong to that person."

"Why, doesn't Mr. Ma Cai have confidence in his own knowledge?" Mr. Zhang said sarcastically.

Ma Cai laughed loudly and walked a few steps: "Master Zhang is really good at telling jokes. In terms of age, I am younger than you, but when it comes to this knowledge, I can be regarded as someone who has traveled south and north. I am afraid that you, old man, When you get older, it won’t be good if you get a piercing at the end of the day.”

The smile on Mr. Zhang's face suddenly disappeared, and he snorted coldly: "I haven't reached the point where my eyes are dim yet, your worries are completely unnecessary."

"Both of you, please forgive me, I might have a little bit of a kick in," the rich man next to him said with his hands in hand.

Ma Cai and Mr. Zhang then turned to look at the rich man. He looked dignified, but he was not from any wealthy family in the area.

Outsider?

At the same time, Ma Cai and Mr. Zhang looked away. This was a place far away from the emperor. A mere outsider wanted to take Ma away. Was he really a local emperor for nothing?

The people watching on the side also sighed repeatedly. Mr. Zhang was a well-known gentry, and Ma Cai, along with his brother-in-law who was the county magistrate, was a local bully. He cheered and cheered before going out, which was very impressive.

Isn't it a joke that a foreigner wants to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?

The rich man naturally heard what people around him were talking about, but he was not worried at all, and his face was full of smiles, as if he was calm and calm no matter what others said.

Only Qin Shang took a few more glances at the rich young man, and especially noticed the murderous intent in the eyes of the people around him.

This was definitely no ordinary rich man, and the feeling those people gave him was the same as when he first met Boss Liu.

It's not a good thing, no, compared to Mr. Zhang and Ma Cai, this rich young man is the most difficult person here.

Xu Liu seemed to notice the smell of gunpowder among everyone, and immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, it's just a few horses, don't hurt the harmony."

"Xu, you've been here for a long time, why don't you bring out what you have? You're not kidding me, right?" Ma Cai said impatiently.

Xu Liu immediately apologized and said with a smile: "Of course not. He is also famous here, so naturally he will not destroy his own sign."

After saying that, Xu Liu walked forward a few positions, clasped his fists towards the surroundings and said, "Everyone, please make some space, so I can take out the things I got by chance."

After Xu Liu took it out, everyone was attracted by the thing. Under the sun, it glowed with a beautiful green color. Just holding it in his hand, it was round and attractive, like a treasure.

"Everyone, this is something that someone got by chance before. The name of this thing is here. No matter who is here who guesses the ownership of these three horses, it belongs to him." Xu Liu stretched out his hand and took out another parchment scroll. Hold it high.

Mr. Zhang was afraid that others would answer first, so he said bluntly: "I know this thing, it's just agate beads. I have many of them at home."

"Haha!" Ma Cai laughed disdainfully and said with a hint of disdain: "Mr. Zhang, I don't believe you when I say your eyes are dim. Is agate as transparent as this? In my opinion, this is a crystal ball."

The rich man next to him was not anxious at all. Instead, he was holding his chin in deep thought, obviously not recognizing this object.

Qin Shang just glanced at it, a little stunned. Isn't this the marbles he often played with when he was a child in his previous life? Glass should have been around for a long time. Wouldn't so many people not recognize a mere glass bead?

In order to ensure that he didn't make a mistake, Qin Shang looked at it carefully several times. Although the quality of this thing was much better than the ones he played with in his previous life, the glass beads were just fired things and were worthless in front of the mirror. value.

Glass beads, this is the answer Qin Shang knows. Although he doesn't know if it is called this at this time, the accuracy of this answer is obviously very high.

But it would be inappropriate for me to say this answer myself. The two local emperors in front of me would not tolerate a child like me making trouble on his head.

Qin Shang set his sights on the only remaining rich man. Although he didn't know whether he could succeed, he could only take a gamble.

I don't know if it was because Qin Shang's eyes were too focused, but the rich man seemed to notice it and turned his head to meet Qin Shang's eyes.

The attention of the people around was focused on the two people in the center of the field, but no one paid attention to a half-grown boy like Qin Shang, and he also took advantage of this, raised his palms, and wrote words on his hands one by one. .

The rich man was not a stupid person, he said slightly: "Glass... glass... ball..., I want... a horse..."

Seemingly knowing what the other party meant, the rich man nodded to Qin Shang after reading it, indicating that he understood.

While Mr. Zhang and Ma Cai were still arguing, the rich man suddenly said: "Xu Liu, shopkeeper Xu, I dare to guess that it is a glass ball."

After the rich man said his name, Mr. Zhang burst out laughing and said, "Look, you are not a young master from an ordinary family. Why do you speak so childishly? How can you deceive people even if you just make up a name?"

"Mr. Zhang, this person is a liar at first glance. There is no need to talk to him. Over there, Xu Liu, isn't it time to announce the correct answer?"

Ma Cai had long been impatient. If his brother-in-law hadn't warned him, these horses would have been snatched away without any payment.

Xu Liu didn't speak at this time. Instead, he glanced at the rich young man, and then opened the parchment, only to see three big characters "Glass Ball" crookedly written on it.

There were some literate people watching the excitement, and they immediately read the words on the parchment aloud.

"Glass ball! It's a glass ball. That young man guessed it right."

Someone made a sound, and everyone's eyes were immediately attracted to the young man. Did this foreigner guess it right?

Ma Cai was even more shocked, his face turned red and white. He and Mr. Zhang were shouting the most fiercely just now, and neither of them looked good at this moment.

As the most respectable person here, ever since he was ridiculed like this, he immediately felt a hatred towards the rich young man in his heart.

Xu Liu raised his hand and said: "I declare that the final ownership of these three horses belongs to this young master. I got this thing by chance from a Western missionary. When I was asked to ask him the name of this thing, , the missionary wrote these words with his own hand."

After saying this, many people suddenly lost interest. Although this thing looks good, it comes from the West.

"A mere foreign thing dared to appear in the country that conquered the Ming Dynasty. This thing is also called a glass ball. It is eye-catching and a sensational thing." I don't know if it was because he had lost face just now, but Mr. Zhang immediately took the glass ball. The ball was devalued as worthless.

Hearing this, Xu Liu was very unhappy, and even more cursed in his heart. This is not the case just now. You almost thought this thing was a top-quality agate bead just now.

Ma Cai thought for a moment, then waved his sleeves and led the people away.

Without this big Buddha, Xu Liu cupped his hands towards Mr. Zhang and said: "Mr. Zhang, although this thing is not conspicuous, I also said before that whoever guessed it correctly will own these three horses. I'm sorry."

The rich man walked up to the horse and couldn't stop the joy in his eyes when he looked at the beautiful horse.

With a wave of his hand, someone from behind handed the silver coins to Xu Liu.

Mr. Zhang coveted those horses, but he also had a good reputation. If he continued to entangle, it would be detrimental to his reputation. But he congratulated them, but he was unwilling to do so. He withdrew from the crowd and left when no one was paying attention.

When Xu Liu got the money, he handed it over and disappeared into the crowd.

The people around him saw that there was no excitement at all, and the lively scene suddenly dispersed. They only occasionally looked at the rich young man with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The rich young man looked at the half-grown boy left, and immediately smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to have actually seen that thing. As promised, the horse will be yours."

Almost without anyone's instructions, one of his men thrust the reins into Qin Shang's hand.

Qin Shang took out the twenty-five taels of silver that he had prepared from his arms and handed it to the rich man. "One code equals one code. I will give you the answer. You have taken the responsibility for me. Every cent of this money is yours." "

The rich man looked at Qin Shang for a moment and said: "Okay, I will keep the money. Besides, I will do you one more favor. Give this horse to me first. When you get out of the city, there is a pavilion three miles outside the city. Get there." I’ll give you the horse again.”

Qin Shang had long noticed the sneaky figure not far away, and said: "Okay, I accept this, my name is Shang Qing."

The rich man smiled and replied: "Lin Sihan!"

Qin Shang didn't feel anything wrong after hearing this, but if Boss Liu were here, he would definitely recognize this person as Lin Sihan, the eldest son of the Lin family in Jiangnan who had done business with him.

After the two made an appointment, Qin Shang immediately returned and bought two sets of clothes in a clothing store. He also bought some clothes for Huang Ying and his servant. He even bought a lot of close-fitting clothes. He really ignored the surprised look of the landlady. , wrapped all the clothes and carried them back to the inn.

At this time, the hot water he asked for has basically been boiled. He has been miserable for so long and needs to take a bath and eat.

Qin Shang thought so.
