Farming in troubled times: Anyone who stops me from getting rich will die!

After settling Brother Jiyang's matter, Wang Zheng was about to pay for it.

Li Yao and the others did a good job on the first day.

There are a total of six pawnshops in Yun Mansion, each of which is very large, but looking at the signboards, you can tell that three of them are owned by the same owner.

As expected, it was the shop under the Ouyang family's name.

After several people discussed it, Li Jiyang stopped participating in the matter of going to the pawn shop.

He is a public official now, and everything should be positive. Don't get his hands dirty with these less than legitimate things.

Therefore, Wang Zheng, Li Yao, and Li Jifeng went to exchange it.

And they decided to take action at three pawnshops owned by the Ouyang family.

If nothing else, even if the incident comes to light in the future, it will cause trouble for their family.

Who made them offend us Yaoer?

The next day, Li Jiyang said he would go to the yamen, mainly to inquire about the follow-up situation of Mr. Mo and his gang's arrest in Pushi County.

Li Yao and the three of them dressed up in disguise and went to Ouyang's first pawn shop.

This pawn shop is six doors wide. Once you enter, there are quite a few people pawning things.

I have to say that this pawn shop is quite proud, with a total of six windows open.

Six accountants were calculating abacus inside the wooden window, and they could only hear their quotations one after another.

Quite professional.

Li Yao scanned around and found that their pawn cabinets were divided into categories.

A cabinet for clothes and brocades, a cabinet for bead curtains and screens, a cabinet for vases and ornaments...

Finally, there is a jewelry cabinet at the end.

Li Yao and others looked at each other and walked there.

A drunkard in front of him had just died and pawned a pearl hairpin and ran away happily with five taels of silver.

It's Li Yao's turn.

Wang Zheng took out a golden hairpin with a gem set on the head, which was very shiny.

He handed the gold hairpin in.

As soon as the person inside received it, he raised his eyes and showed a hint of surprise.

"Should I live or die?" he asked, suppressing his joy.

Wang Zheng didn't even think about it but said, "I'll die."

The price of a dead pawn is much higher, and even if it is sold out, it will not be redeemed in the future.

The man's eyes flashed slightly, "It's pretty good, you can get it for 60 taels."

Wang Zheng glanced at Li Yao and saw that his daughter was unmoved, so he said, "Give me a real price. The price is good. I have many more things like this."

The person inside suddenly lowered his eyes, "Wait a moment, I'll go ask our shopkeeper to come."

The three of them waited in the hall.

Taking advantage of this time, Li Yao observed the pawn shop again.

In the back room of the pawn shop, the man just found the shopkeeper.

"The stuff is good, and the style is popular in the capital a few years ago. I offered a price of 60 taels, but they must be dissatisfied. And the man who looks like a businessman also said that he has a lot of jewelry of the same quality."

Shopkeeper Liao has been in charge of this pawn shop for more than ten years. It's not that he hasn't seen good things, and it's not that he hasn't seen rich dudes who end up selling off their property to survive.

But this was the first time he saw such a tough person like today.

I guessed in my mind that some uncle in the capital had lost all his business and pawned his family's belongings.

It's not like he has never seen such a thing before.

"Invite them to come in and talk here." Shopkeeper Liao said.

Li Yao and the others had expected this, so she was not surprised at all that they would be invited in to talk.

"Please, please sit down!" Shopkeeper Liao was very polite when he saw them. After asking them to sit down, he introduced himself.

Wang Zheng was a little frightened, but in order not to lose the chain, he could only bite the bullet.

Yao'er said, when you don't know what to say, just stay silent.

So he exchanged pleasantries with Shopkeeper Liao and then sat down and stopped talking.

"I heard from my guy that you have a lot of pearls and hairpins to pawn, and are they all dead?"

Wang Zheng only nodded and did not speak for a long time.

Shopkeeper Liao is indeed a businessman. He said, "It seems that you are not satisfied with the price my man gave me?"

Wang Zheng sneered.

Then he took out a cloth bag from his arms, which contained some pendants, hairpins and necklaces.

After spreading it out, he stopped talking.

Shopkeeper Liao's eyes were fiery, "The price can be discussed later."

These things are all good at first glance, and they are very new. Once you get them, you can probably make a lot of money by just reselling them.

So he couldn't wait.

Wang Zheng raised three fingers and said quietly, "I still have three boxes of things like this."

Shopkeeper Liao stood up uncontrollably.

"Where is it? Take it and take a look!"

Wang Zheng chuckled until shopkeeper Liao felt uncomfortable.

"If Shopkeeper Liao is not sincere, I will switch to another company. I would like to discuss business with you, but you can't afford the price!"

After that, he made a gesture to leave.

Li Yao and Li Jifeng also stood up together.

"Uncle, please don't be impatient!" Shopkeeper Liao said urgently, "Why don't you tell me how much money you want?"

As long as it's not too much, he'll accept it.

He gained the least from each of the three pawnshops every year. Whenever his boss made an appointment at the end of the year, he would be scolded.

If the down-and-out businessman in front of him really has so many good things, then he must have made the most money among the three pawnshops this year.

That way the boss won't blame him.

Wang Zheng didn't hesitate, "This gold hairpin costs 100 taels, this bracelet costs 120 taels, and this necklace costs 88 taels..."

I packed a dozen items and quoted a price.

Shopkeeper Liao pursed his lower lip, this was a serious encounter. Basically, the price he gave was the price he had estimated in his mind.

"Okay! Deal." Shopkeeper Liao made a decision after hesitating for a moment.

"However, I have to take a look at your other goods first. As you said, there are still three boxes. You can only give them to me!"

"As long as the price can be negotiated, this request is nothing!"

Wang Zheng was also very happy.

"You come with me!"

When shopkeeper Liao came to their carriage, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

"You just put it here, aren't you afraid that it will disappear?"

Li Yao climbed onto the carriage and stuck his head out after a while.

"Dad, you only brought one box!"

Wang Zheng slapped his forehead hard, "Look at my memory, there are still two boxes left at your mother's place. Let's go back and get them quickly."

Shopkeeper Liao didn't want the cooked duck to fly away, so he hurriedly stopped Wang Zheng, "Since we only brought one box, let's take a look at that box first. If you are willing, you can bring the other two boxes over another day."

We finally caught a big fool, but we can't let him run away.

Wang Zheng pretended to be in a difficult position, so he thought about it and said, "Knowing that I am in urgent need of money, that woman is still playing tricks on me."

Shopkeeper Liao's eyes moved quickly.

I have a plan in mind.

The box was carried in. The box was actually not big, but the items inside were genuine, so it was very heavy.

"When is the time to go alone?" Wang Zheng asked impatiently.

Shopkeeper Liao didn't dare to offend him, "I'll call two more guys to come in and help."

Calling two people, their eyes never blinked.

Under the fierce gaze of shopkeeper Liao, the three of them quickly counted.

"A total of 31 hairpins, 40 pairs of earrings, and 15 bracelets..."

The valuation of each piece was finally calculated at 3000 taels.

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, Li Yao and the others didn't waste much time.

"Come again!"

Shopkeeper Liao specially sent them to the carriage.

"Uncle, come back tomorrow!"

Wang Zheng lowered his eyes and nodded lightly.
