BXBX NOVEL Chapter 464 part1
When the pawnbroker saw the guards of the Xiao Wangfu coming, his body trembled in fear as he came forward: “Gentlemen, I don’t know what did you come for this small shop and business?”
Of course, there was a back office for all the pawnshop. The pawnshop that Housekeeper Cao went into, belong to the Zhang Family of the Central Empire, which was the second-largest family in the Central Empire.
Whether the Zhang family was in the Central Empire or the Eastern Country, people give them a face, but a local snake can’t press a dragon. This was the Eastern Country and Xiao Tianyao’s territory. They must entertain them even if they find it crazy.
“Small business?” Housekeeper Cao looked at the high-class counter and red coral design on top it. Then, he looked at the person who was standing in front of the counter. He sneered and said: “Are you kidding me?”
“This... ...” The Pawnbroker had a cold sweat and felt embarrassed.
Housekeeper Cao didn’t try to argue. He pointed his finger to the boxes behind him and said: “Find a place to talk business about those things, I want to do it now!” Those gaudy gold jewelry, their wangfei absolutely cannot use it.
“Wha, what? Now, what things?” The Pawnbroker was dumbfounded.
What’s with this situation? A dignified prince was so poor to this extent? How short he is with money?
“What? We are not allowed to pawn things?” Housekeeper Cao asked lightly, but the Pawnbroker didn’t dare to act arrogant. He shook his head and said: “How can that be? Sir, please come inside.”
The Pawnbroker turned around and led Housekeeper Cao and his men to the elegant room in the backyard. The Pawnbroker winked at the servant behind him, letting him find the Shopkeeper.
He can’t be the master of this transaction.
Housekeeper Cao didn’t see it. As soon as he entered the elegant room, he urged the Pawnbroker to check the jewelry in the boxes. The Pawnbroker wanted to delay time, but Housekeeper Cao didn’t give him a chance. He directly let the guards open the boxes and then handed the inventory: “Come on, our Wangfei said she wants 50,000 silvers.”
Housekeeper Cao estimated that these jewelry were worth 50,000 thousand, but it was a big joke to this pawnshop.
“Sir, these... they worth less than 50,000.” The Pawnbroker immediately looked at the inventory and the content of the boxes. With his hindsight, he was sure that those things were not good. The workmanship was very impressive, but he can’t agree, those things can’t even be sold with money.
“Even if you can’t do it, you must do it. We are short of 50,000 in 200,000 fine. Just give us this amount.” Housekeeper Cao said, but he has an empty feeling inside his heart.
This was what their wangfei wants. Don’t say 50,000 silvers, those jewelry were not even worth 10,000 silvers. However, they need 50,000 silver tickets. Otherwise, where will they get 200,000 silvers?
Where will they get?
Are they joking? Is Xiao Wangfu’s signboard only for decoration?
At this time, if they don’t bully people, when will they bully others?
When Housekeeper Cao learned that Lin Chujiu seriously wanted to take for granted their name, he was a little embarrassed.
For so many years, the people in their Xiao Wangfu have always kept a low profile in the capital. They have never acted so arrogant before. For the first time, he felt they were so arrogant. It feels so cool!
