Everyone heard the news and walked over. What they saw was the shopkeeper in the shop walking over with a livid face, and the waiter was standing behind the shopkeeper.
It turns out that the waiter saw that something was wrong with the situation, so he sneaked away to find the shopkeeper, and that's what happened now.
Don't tell me, Wen Pengfei is really not afraid of any shopkeeper.
In his opinion, the only person in Wangnancheng who can scare him is the owner of Wangnancheng, Prince Chen, and other people are simply not worthy to be compared with him.
Of course, Wen Pengfei really didn't know that Ziqi Donglai was Prince Chen's territory. After all, as soon as he came to Wangnancheng, he was busy looking for Chen Mingyue and didn't ask about other things at all.
So Wen Pengfei was not afraid at all when he saw the shopkeeper. Instead, he said with a cold expression: "So what if I take action?"
After that, he said to his two subordinates: "Give it to me. I will destroy his tricks so as not to hinder my eyes. If anyone wants to stop them, just give them to me." If I beat you, I will be the one to die."
The shopkeeper laughed angrily after hearing this. He had been a shopkeeper for decades, and no one had ever dared to say such a thing in front of him.
This is not only not taking him seriously, but also not taking his master seriously.
The shopkeeper originally planned to be polite before attacking, but now he was so angry that he couldn't even imagine how angry he was.
"Someone is making trouble, where are the guards?"
As soon as the shopkeeper shouted loudly, seven or eight tall and strong guards jumped out from all directions, and in an instant they surrounded Wen Pengfei, his master and his servant.
Those guards immediately punched and kicked, their moves were strong and powerful, their punches were as fast as lightning, and their blows were like iron hooks and silver strokes. Three strikes, five divided by two, knocked Wen Pengfei and the three of them to the ground, unable to get up. .
Before Wen Pengfei could react, he was knocked to the ground. He felt that every part of his body was aching, and he couldn't help but wailed.
Upon seeing this, the shopkeeper sneered and said domineeringly: "I dare to be so arrogant when I come from the east, and I don't even ask who's territory this is. Even if I ask people to beat you to death today, no one will dare to say no. "
A smile flashed in Mingyue's eyes, but she said: "Shopkeeper, it's better not to take action yet. I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding. This young master seems to want to compete with me in stone betting."
The shopkeeper looked at Mingyue in surprise, but saw her blinking at him.
Playing stones with the gods? Wouldn't that be asking for death
Rather than beating people to death directly, the shopkeeper naturally wants to squeeze people dry, so as not to stain the master's reputation.
The shopkeeper understood and immediately changed his tone: "Sir, why didn't you tell me earlier that you really wanted to gamble with this young master?"
The guards on the side were all staring at Wen Pengfei like hawks, as if they were going to start a fight if they disagreed.
Wen Pengfei was so frightened that he trembled, and immediately nodded without thinking: "Yes, I want to bet with him."
At this time, Wen Pengfei also realized what he was doing. He didn't bring a lot of people with him when he came to visit Nancheng. His parents used it as an excuse to go out with their friends to play. Even if he was here, no one would know. He could no longer act impulsively.
The shopkeeper and Mingyue looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
The shopkeeper coughed twice: "Then shopkeeper, I'll just be a witness. I haven't asked you how you want to bet?"
Mingyue shook her folding fan and smiled: "Whether it is more green, more water, or the color of jade, I don't care. It depends on how the young master chooses."
Wen Pengfei was helped up from the ground with some difficulty, clutching his aching stomach. He was filled with hatred, but he didn't dare to mess around in this shop anymore. But just as he was about to speak, he couldn't help but gasped. It turned out that he had been punched twice in the face, and it hurt so much as soon as he opened his mouth.
In the end, he could only swallow his anger and said: "I can do it, too."
The shopkeeper was happy when he heard this, and said naturally: "Then green is better than stones, right? Both young masters are free to choose ten jade stones. Whoever has more green jade will win."
It was obvious that the shopkeeper was Mingyue's side, but Wen Pengfei didn't know it.
Having said this, the shopkeeper asked again: "By the way, what if we win? What if we lose?"
The corner of Mingyue's mouth naturally raised a smile: "I heard that this young master is not short of silver. What a coincidence, I happen to be short of some silver to buy things, so naturally I decided in silver. Why not just bet one thousand taels of gold? , I wonder what this young master thinks?"
One thousand taels of gold was actually not too much for the wealthy businessman in Wangnan City. He could earn back the money by selling some jewelry and jade.
But for Wen Pengfei, this is an astronomical figure. You must know that his monthly salary is only fifty taels of silver. Gold and silver are not of the same value. Is a thousand taels of gold considered silver? That was his destiny.
But facing the provocation on Mingyue's face and the contempt in the eyes of the shopkeeper and waiter, Wen Pengfei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just one thousand taels of gold."
Anyway, he may not lose, he is so lucky, he is God's favorite, he will definitely win.
Mingyue smiled like a little fox: "There is no basis for what you say, just draw a pledge."
The shopkeeper was also very sensible and immediately asked people to sign the agreement in ink. At the same time, he also asked the clerk to go downstairs to spread the news.
When doing business, the most important thing is excitement.
Such a lively event naturally needs many people to witness it.
The most important thing is that the shopkeeper has already seen that Wen Pengfei's identity may be unusual. Since he has offended someone, he will naturally offend him to the end. Therefore, the more people know about this matter, the better, so as to avoid such incidents in the future. The boy's family regretted it and refused to admit it.
Not long after, the guests downstairs had already heard that a stupid boy who didn't know where he came from actually wanted to compete with the gods in stone betting. The contest still came out green, and the bet was still one thousand taels of gold. It was simply stupid. Can not be done.
However, everyone was happy to watch the excitement, and some even called friends to come over. In just a short time, the entire Ziqi Donglai was already overcrowded, and there were crowds of people everywhere.
Wen Pengfei signed and pledged his signature almost in a daze. When he saw so many people coming to watch, he realized something was wrong.
It would be fine if he won, but what would he do if he lost
It's just that now the arrow is on the string and he has to take action, and there is no room for him to go back on his word.
After the shopkeeper explained everything one by one, Wen Pengfei and Mingyue stood in front of the pile of stones and began to select stones.
Wen Pengfei looked at the pile of stones in front of him solemnly. He felt that these stones all looked the same, and he couldn't tell which one was green. He was stunned for a moment.
But Mingyue was completely different. She walked leisurely, with Feishuang's guidance in the sea of consciousness, and she chose the stone in a short while.
