"Take the knife!" Teng Yongfan gave an order, and the clansmen untied the cloth bags from their backs one by one, and took out bundles of Bihan knives from the wrapped animal skins.

Bundles of Bihan knives fell to the ground, making a muffled sound. The cavalry leader sat on a chair, and glanced proudly at the Bihan knife on the ground: "Old Zhang, you should check each of these Bihan knives to prevent these mountain people from shoddying them!"

"Yes, my lord." A tall, middle-aged man strode forward and greeted others at the same time, "Come here, take a good look at each knife."

The rope is untied, bang dang dang! The Bihan knife was scattered all over the place.

A guard watched carefully with a Bihan knife. The whole body of this Bihan knife has a faint green light, and you can feel the coolness while holding the handle of the knife. The blade is sharp, and it is definitely a good knife.

"My lord." Lao Zhang threw a Bihan knife to the cavalry leader.

The leader took the Bihan Knife, looked it over carefully for a moment, and nodded slightly: "It seems to be okay, I don't know how it works."

"My lords, please rest assured." Teng Yongfan said with a smile, "We have experienced each of these Bihan knives before they are delivered, and none of the Bihan knives sold by our Tengjiazhuang has ever been inferior. .”

"Hmph, I'll know after testing." The cavalry leader glanced at Old Zhang, who understood.

"Bring the wood." The guard called 'Old Zhang' said loudly.

A large amount of wood used to burn the fire was carried in bundles, and then thrown directly on the ground, the wood was scattered all over the place.

"Let's split the wood with the Bihan knife one by one, try it," said Old Zhang.

These guards then used the Bihan knife to hack at the wood wantonly, only to see that each piece of wood split in response to the sound, and the Bihan knife did not have a single blade turned over. Seeing this scene, Teng Yongfan just sneered in his heart. After all, the unique skill of Bihan Dao was honed by the ancestors of Tengjiazhuang for thousands of years. How could it be so bad

"Huh?" The cavalry leader stood up suddenly, took a Bihan knife from a guard, stroked the blade lightly with his right hand, and then his face darkened.

A group of people in Tengjiazhuang felt a lump in their hearts.

"What's the matter, how did this knife curl?" The cavalry leader was furious, and threw the Bihan knife violently, and the Bihan knife slammed in front of Teng Qingshan and his group.

"How is it possible?" Teng Yongfan picked it up.

The surrounding clansmen saw that indeed, the Bihan knife had rolled its blade.

Teng Yongfan's face changed drastically.

According to the written evidence, once there is a quality problem, it will be a big trouble.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Teng Yongfan shook his head anxiously, "I have tested every handle, how is this possible?"

"Impossible." The leader sneered.

"My lord!" Teng Qingshan's voice suddenly sounded, it was so loud that it could be heard within hundreds of meters, the cavalry leader's face changed, and he shouted: "Boy, please keep your voice down, and disturb the rest in the front My lord, all of you are ready to go to jail."

Teng Qingshan is almost ten years old, it seems that he is just a teenager.

"My lord, do you know inner energy? The legendary inner energy?" Teng Qingshan looked at the leader with envy and excitement.

The leader was taken aback.

"I saw just now that your hand touched that Bihan knife, that sharp blade..." Before Teng Qingshan finished speaking, the leader's face changed, and he shouted angrily, "Boy, shut up! "

Teng Qingshan had an innocent look on his face, but there was a sneer in his heart. No one else saw it, but Teng Qingshan's six senses were sensitive. He clearly noticed just now that the Bihan knife that was originally intact was stroked by the leader. , the blade rolled up, in fact, Teng Qingshan can do it too.

With the force of inner strength acting on the blade from the side, it is strange that the blade does not roll up.

Teng Qingshan could see that this leader obviously wanted to renege on his debts aboveboard, and beat himself and others.

"What's going on?" A voice sounded, and a group of people came out of the mansion. The leader was a middle-aged man in black fur with a fair complexion. Beside him, there is a cute girl in a white ferret fur with two braids. Behind them are two servants and two bodyguards.

"Master." A group of people in the backyard bowed immediately.

"Oh, the Bihan knife has been delivered? Now that it has been delivered, pay quickly and let them go. Why are you arguing!" The middle-aged man said with a slight frown.

"Yes, sir," said the chief.

"Hey, Qin San, what were you arguing about just now?" The naughty girl blinked her big eyes and asked suspiciously, then looked curiously at the group of Teng clansmen wearing animal skins.

The cavalry leader even bowed and said: "Miss, it's like this. We ordered from them, and now the delivery has come, and we just inspected the goods... But, one of the Bihan knives is of average quality, and the blade even curls when splitting wood After hearing this, the lovely girl looked at Teng Qingshan and the others, frowned, and snorted, "One hundred and fifty taels of Bihan Dao is so expensive that it can even cut wood. How can I have such a weapon!"

Teng Qingshan, Teng Yongfan and a group of people were shocked.

One hundred and fifty taels

But the cavalry leader ordered only one hundred taels of silver, and now it seemed that he didn't even want to pay the final payment.

"Qin San, how about the other Bihan knives?" the fair-faced middle-aged man said indifferently.

"The other Bihan knives are okay." The cavalry leader continued, "But I haven't looked carefully yet."

"Qin Da, go and have a look." The middle-aged man said.

Of the two personal guards behind him, one of them went directly to those Bihan sabers, and at the same time glared at the cavalry leader, then picked up a Bihan saber, played it casually a few times, and turned back: "Master, these Bihan swords The cold knife is very good, it is definitely enough for ordinary guards to use."

"Okay, Qin San, pay the money and let them go quickly. It's noisy, what does it look like." The middle-aged man said indifferently, and then looked at the daughter next to him, "Yu'er, let's go, we still need more money today." Going to visit your Uncle Liu, it's not good to be late."

"Yes, Dad."

The cute girl looked at Teng Qingshan and his group curiously, then left with the middle-aged man.

And the guard named 'Qin Da' walked up to the cavalry leader and said in a low voice: "Third Junior Brother, don't be greedy for all money. It's not easy for these people to earn some money. If they make a big fuss, the master is angry, so don't blame him!" Senior brother won't help you." After speaking, this 'Qin Da' followed the master and left.

"Don't give me any face at all." Seeing the group of people leaving, the cavalry leader said bitterly, "Big brother, damn, always look down on me, when I also practiced to the sixth floor, There's no need to look at your face."

Immediately, the leader of the cavalry cast a cold glance at Teng Yongfan and his group.

"You mountain folks, one of the Bihan Dao's blades has curled. However, I don't bother with you, Lao Zhang, give them 10,000 taels of silver and let them go." The cavalry leader ordered.

Teng Qingshan frowned upon hearing this.

Ten thousand taels

The final payment for the goods this time was 10,200 taels of silver. The cavalry leader said that two hundred taels of silver was not going to be paid. Two hundred and two is not a small number. After all, after this business is done, Tengjiazhuang earns very little, except for various expenses such as manpower, so these two hundred taels are indispensable.

"My lord..." Teng Yongfan was about to speak.

"Hmph." The cavalry leader's eyes turned cold, "Today, I have a Bihan knife with a curly blade, so forget it if I didn't ask you to settle the score. If you talk nonsense here again, be careful that I will destroy you, so get out of here."

At this time, that old Zhang also took out a ten thousand taels of silver note and handed it to Teng Yongfan.

Teng Yongfan took the silver ticket, looked at it carefully, and then said in a low voice: "Let's go!" Although the men in Tengjiazhuang are all bloody, they don't know how to touch eggs with eggs. For two hundred taels of silver, it's okay to let everyone go in worth. Everyone held back their breath and left the management of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

*****

Out of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, the people of the Teng clan couldn't help scolding their mothers.

"The one named Qin San, what is it, one hundred and fifty taels, let's just give one hundred taels. I'm not going to pay the money today." Teng Qinghu scolded angrily, "If it wasn't for Qingshan's loud voice, he would be so annoying. If that master comes over, I'm afraid that Qin San will not be allowed to pay the final payment."

Teng Yongfan smiled and looked at Teng Qingshan: "Qingshan, how did you think of attracting the attention of the master?"

"I just shouted because I was in a hurry." Teng Qingshan said with a smile, "I saw with my own eyes just now that the cavalry leader touched the blade, and the blade rolled up." Although Teng Qingshan said so, in fact Yes, he was indeed loud on purpose to attract the attention of the big salt merchants around him.

Even if it doesn't attract the master of this mansion, it will be considered a success if it attracts any big salt merchant around!

Teng Yongfan and Teng Qinghu, after all, have lived in Zhuangzi all year round, so they don't understand the thinking of those big salt merchants.

But Teng Qingshan was a super killer in his previous life, and he understands the psychology of some super rich and upper class personnel. For those people, money is a small matter, but face is a big thing.

If it gets out... A certain big salt merchant got into an argument with a group of mountain people for a little money. The salt merchant would probably become a laughing stock. So, no matter what, within the management of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, no matter what, the salt merchant would not be able to argue with them for a little money.

"No matter what, this time it's safe and sound." Teng Yongfan smiled, "Qingshan, it's the first time you came to Yicheng when you grew up. Before you go back, I'll take you to a place. I just happened to go there to buy some thing."

"Where?" Teng Qingshan was curious.

"Vientiane Building." Teng Yongfan said
