Chapter 42, The Ginseng Liar
Wei Xiaobao walked all the way home, thinking about his future plans, thinking of Alice's bath, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. No matter what Alice thinks, I must get my hands on this woman, or it will not damage the prestige of my jade-faced little white dragon in vain.
As for the jade-faced little white dragon, Wei Xiaobao also made up it when he was idle, after all, he thought about walking the rivers and lakes all day long, and he had to have a loud name.
When she returned to the house, she saw that Lan Xin was also there, Wei Xiaobao pretended not to see it, Lan Xin glanced at Wei Xiaobao and lowered her head with a red face, she was afraid and afraid of Wei Xiaobao, but she was very conflicted, she didn't want to leave easily, Wei Xiaobao didn't know what she thought, why she stayed.
Suddenly, Niu Er ran in, "Master Bao, Zhao Gongzi is here, it seems that there is something urgent, and he looks in a hurry." Wei Xiaobao thought to himself, why are there so many things, this has just finished the competition to recruit relatives, and he has to run the tobacco factory and the school, and let people play unpleasantly, just want to refuse, and then think about it, people have urgent matters, they can't ignore it, and they can't talk about it, so after taking a sip of tea, Wei Xiaobao went to the hall. Seeing Zhao Ming stand up for a while, sit down for a while, fidgeting, looking restless, and his face was very bad.
Seeing Wei Xiaobao coming in, Zhao Ming hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Wei Xiaobao's hand and said, "Brother, you have to help my brother." Wei Xiaobao didn't know what was going on, so he quickly asked him to sit down, and then asked, "Big brother, what's the urgency like this?" ”
Zhao Ming said: "... Alas, it's hard to put into words. ”
It turned out that a few days ago, there was a northern guest Tuowei Yuan Dart Bureau escorting a thousand-year-old ginseng, everyone saw clearly, it was indeed a genuine thousand-year-old ginseng, but I don't know what happened, and when I finally received the dart, people actually said it was fake. The Zhao family must be asked to compensate for the loss. You must know that thousand-year-old ginseng is priceless, and money may not be able to buy it. Once the compensation is made, at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of taels of silver, Wei Xiaobao felt strange when he heard it.
comforted Zhao Ming a few words, and asked curiously, "Big brother, what the hell is going on, is it that some bastard saw that he was interested in getting rich and secretly gave away his bag, or did he not see the truth at the time when he collected the dart, and let people be blinded." ”
Zhao Ming thought for a while and sighed, "It's hard to say, I dare to guarantee that it won't be done by someone in the dart game, because the dart game has been doing business for many years, and there has never been a problem." As for whether it is difficult to say if you don't see it clearly, maybe it's really fake, maybe it's too similar. ”
Wei Xiaobao almost couldn't help but clap his hands and praise, "Brother Zhao is wise, I am a Heavenly Empire, fake and shoddy proudly stand on the top of the world, no one can compare, the fine tradition can be said to have a long history, if you are in the future life, I will scare you to death." ”
Wei Xiaobao thought for a while and said, "Just talking about it, I can't know what's going on, go, big brother, I'll take a look with you." ”
Wei Xiaobao followed Zhao Ming to the Weiyuan Dart Bureau, sat down in the hall, Zhao Ming went to the room to take out a yellow silk package, opened it and saw that it was a golden box, after the box was opened, a gorgeous light flashed, an old ginseng more than half a meter long was lying quietly in the box, and it was really impossible to see the truth or falsehood if you looked closely, at least Wei Xiaobao, a layman, could not tell the difference even if he stared out of his eyes, and found someone to take a magnifying glass and take a closer look, only to find that many filaments on the neck of ginseng were carved and glued with something, you can't find it if you don't look closely. Wei Xiaobao listened carefully to what happened again, and decided that it was indeed dropped, and it was true when it should have been delivered, and it became fake when it was consigned.
Wei Xiaobao and Zhao Ming summed it up, Zhao Ming said with a sad face, "In a few days is the day of compensation, if you can't get it true, Weiyuan Dart Bureau may be in a big disaster, just the compensation of silver will have to be a million taels, it's not that Weiyuan Dart Bureau can't take out so much silver, plus the reputation is damaged, people are terrible, if you don't do it well, the dart game will have to close down." ”
Unexpectedly, the matter was so serious, Wei Xiaobao persuaded, "Brother Zhao, don't worry about it first, the matter hasn't come to that point yet, and it's really not good, you can take some silver from me to support it first, and there will be no problem." Tell me about the shipper. ”
Zhao Ming was overjoyed when he heard it, his brother did not see death and did not save him, but he was so generous, this kind of friend is indeed rare, most of them are people who go to tea and cool, fall into the well, and the trees are scattered, you are rushing to tie the knots when you are beautiful, once you are in trouble, one by one you are afraid to avoid it, and you are happy in your heart, so you will tell the situation of the guests, Wei Xiaobao heard it, and immediately became angry, got up and slapped the table fiercely and said, "It must be the hands and feet that the person did, it can't be wrong, your grandfather's, deceived to the head of the Lao Tzu brothers, there must be you good-looking." ”
It turned out that the merchant was a medicinal herb merchant in the Northeast, who had been selling ginseng for many years, so it was no wonder that he could confuse the real with the fake, because he was originally an expert in this and naturally understood the Tao.
Wei Xiaobao hugged his fist at Zhao Ming and said, "Big brother, you can leave this matter to me, tell me where that person is, and I'll go find him." Just wait for my good news. ”
Zhao Ming was puzzled when he heard this, thinking that he could not become Wei Xiaobao at a young age, but now there is no other way, he has the right to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and hurriedly replied, "The others are still in Zuiyue Building, and they haven't left, so they must be waiting for us to compensate for the silver." ”
Wei Xiaobao sneered, "No one left, because they knew that you would be fooled early in the morning, of course, waiting to get the silver, don't worry about leaving the matter to me." ”
After returning home, Wei Xiaobao called Li Gang and others and told them in detail, and several people were furious after hearing this, and they all rubbed their hands and hated to find that person to beat Haibian immediately, daring to cause trouble on the ground in Yangzhou, I really didn't want to live.
Wei Xiaobao said, "A lesson must be a lesson, I think this is the case, let's pretend to be a rich son in the capital, so and so ......."
When the brothers heard this, they were overjoyed, and Li Gang said, "Follow the boss, it's happy, what's difficult, in the hands of the boss, it's a of sesame mung beans." ”
Wei Xiaobao found someone to prepare a million taels of silver, and as soon as he made a move, he scared Li Gang and the others for a long time, and now everyone knows that Wei Xiaobao is so rich, and now Wei Xiaobao's business is too much, schoolbags, money banks, brothels, storytellers, cigarette factories, etc., are almost impossible to count, and this bit of silver is not difficult for him at all.
Wei Xiaobao found someone to hire a disguise master at a high price, this year he has money and is easy to do, and the silver of the white flowers is smashed out, and soon several people will be transformed, Wei Xiaobao is dressed as a handsome boy, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, holding a feather fan, and hanging a lot of jade pendants on his body, Li Gang Chufei pretended to be a bodyguard, Wang Lele was the whitest, pretending to be a scholar, and several people packed up and rushed to the Zuiyue Building together.
Zuiyue Building is Chu Fei's father's restaurant, and the brothers here know their roots and know the way, and they soon inquired about the merchant's room. Wei Xiaobao instructed, "We are pretending to be the rich sons of a wealthy family in the capital, don't show your voice, for a while, no one is allowed to speak Yangzhou dialect, you know, don't mess with me after something happens." Several people nodded.
Wei Xiaobao arrived outside the door of the merchant's residence, knocked lightly on the door, and shouted in a nasal voice, "Is Boss Li here?" The people inside were stunned, and when they heard an unfamiliar voice, they opened the door and saw four people standing outside the door, one of them dressed as a beautiful boy, followed by two burly men next to him, and a beautiful scholar.
Boss Li said, "You know me? I don't know a few people, I don't know what this son is looking for me? ”
