The pawnshop owner felt a throbbing pain in his forehead as he watched the imperial guards coming in one after another.
It’s killing me.
He had collected over a hundred swords, and his small pawnshop was almost out of money.
He doesn't want to accept it.
But looking at those ferocious palace guards, he didn't dare to say this.
He had no choice but to lower the price. Even if the palace guards were dissatisfied, he really didn't have that much money in his shop, so they couldn't do anything to him.
"Quick, quick, close the door for me~"
The pawnshop owner saw that the door was finally quiet, so he quickly asked his clerk to close the pawnshop door.
Looking at the boxes of swords in the pawnshop, he was extremely nervous.
He is the emperor's guard, how could he be reduced to serving as a sword?
No, he had to report this to the governor immediately.
His small pawnshop was ostensibly a dowry for the magistrate's wife, but in reality, it was the magistrate who had been keeping track of the account books and collecting all the money.
Now that it's such a big thing, he must report it...
.......
The pawnshop owner didn't want to exchange so much silver and ran to find the prefect in a hurry.
The owner of the post station here was so happy that he was beaming with joy as he received so much money.
In order to get food for these gentlemen, the waiter at the post station kept running out to various shops to buy food.
There was no other way. The post station did not prepare food for so many people, so they could only take the silver and buy it outside.
The post station makes a profit from the difference in price.
The boiler room of the post station was busy non-stop just to fill the water bags with hot water.
Chen Yong stood at the window of the guest room on the second floor and had already seen the palace guards go to the pawnshop.
As long as they can support themselves, they don't have to spend his money.
As for those ordinary swords, he was not interested in collecting them.
"Sun Ren!"
Shen Yong turned his head to look at the next room and shouted in a deep voice.
Sun Ren, who was at a loss as to what to do after being stared at by Zhang Wenyuan, suddenly had his pupils tremble when he heard Chen Yong's shout.
He quickly turned around and trotted towards Shen Yong's room.
Thank God, Shen Yong's shout came just in time.
Zhang Wenyuan almost stared a hole in his body.
It was just because he arranged for Zhang Wenyuan to live in the same room with these officials.
Zhang Wenyuan was not happy.
Really, he still thinks he is a second-class imperial guard.
Didn’t you see that among this group of people, Chen Yong was the only one living in a room alone?
The seven female members of the Shen family all lived in one room, so why should he give Zhang Wenyuan a separate room?
Besides, there are two large beds in the room, so it’s not impossible to lie down sideways.
"Boss Shen, what do you want me to do?"
Sun Ren pushed open Chen Yong's door, bowed slightly, and looked at him with a puzzled look.
Shen Yong raised his hand and handed a silver note to Sun Ren.
"Go to the bank and exchange this note for silver."
Sun Ren was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it and take a look.
"One---Ten thousand taels of silver!?"
Damn, he didn't expect Chen Yong to come up with so much silver.
At that time, the officers were shocked by the bare appearance of the Duke of Huguo's mansion. Seeing that all the women of the Shen family were wearing underwear, no one thought of searching the body of the half-dead Shen Yong.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yong had so many banknotes on him.
However, it would be inconvenient to carry so many banknotes on the road after exchanging them for silver.
"Well, change it to ten taels of silver or fifty taels of silver. It's up to you to exchange it. Just change it to silver."
Shen Yong glanced at Sun Ren and continued calmly,
"Go and exchange it before it gets dark."
When he arrives at the next city, he won't just take out this small amount of silver notes to exchange.
Let's exchange some silver first to test the waters and see how people here react.
There was countless silver in his space, but it would still not be enough to support an army in the future.
"...Yes!" Sun Ren looked at the banknotes in his hand in shock, and stuffed them into his arms with trembling hands.
It was the first time he had seen such a large amount of banknotes.
If all the ten thousand taels of silver notes were exchanged for silver, it would take several boxes.
Sun Ren swallowed and left Shen Yong's room.
He was afraid that he couldn't carry so much silver by himself, so he simply called Zhang Tiezhu and Zhang Wenyuan to come with him.
Although he disliked Zhang Wenyuan, he had to admit that Zhang Wenyuan's martial arts skills were much better than theirs.
They are carrying so much silver, if they encounter a clueless robbery, they will definitely need some thugs.
Zhang Wenyuan followed Sun Ren out of the post station with a confused look on his face.
He just thought that it was Shen Yong who asked Sun Ren to call him, but he didn't know why he was asked to come out.
It was not until they were out of the post station gate that Zhang Wenyuan could not help but pull Sun Ren to ask,
"What does Boss Shen want us to do?!"
Sun Ren glanced at Zhang Wenyuan with a half-smile and said, "Follow me, you'll know in a moment."
Hey!
I want to know, but he just won't tell me.
Zhang Tiezhu followed Sun Ren with a silly look on his face, too lazy to ask any questions.
He only cared about when he could have dinner at the post station.
Hurry up and take care of Shen Yong's business so that he can rush back to the post station for dinner.
If he gets home too late, the food will have been eaten up by others, and he will starve.
"Boss, hurry up, I'm almost starving to death."
Zhang Tiezhu pulled Sun Ren's arm and urged him.
Zhang Wenyuan looked at Sun Ren steadily and followed him silently.
Since Chen Yong asked him to go out with Sun Ren to do things, he will naturally know later.
There was no bank near the post station, so Sun Ren took the lead and strode towards the city center...
...........
"Master Ning!"
The pawnshop owner knelt down respectfully and looked up at Magistrate Ning.
"What happened?"
Magistrate Ning was half lying on a chair, and five beautiful maids were massaging his limbs and head.
When he heard the voice of the pawnshop owner, he didn't even bat an eyelid and just asked lightly.
At times like this, there is usually nothing going on and the pawnshop people won't come over.
Moreover, it was the pawnshop owner who came in person. It seemed that some ignorant person was looking for trouble again.
However, he was not worried at all.
In Menglan City, who can be greater than him?
If you come to Menglan City to cause trouble, I'm afraid you don't want to leave here alive.
Even if he beat someone to death, no one would dare to attack him.
He has someone protecting him, a close minister of the emperor, so who would dare to attack him?
The pawnshop owner licked his lips and replied with his head down.
"Half an hour ago, a group of imperial guards suddenly came to the pawnshop to pawn their swords."
"The Imperial Guards should be equipped with swords!" Prefect Ning frowned.
"Are you sure he's a palace guard and not an imposter?"
How could the imperial guards be short of money?
It would be fine if only one or two imperial guards came to carry the sword, but now a group of imperial guards came to carry the sword, so he had to suspect that these people were fake.
