Ling Fu kept silent with a gloomy face, while Chu Tian continued to mutter: "I'm sure all of you know that we men and women who make a living on the water usually worship the Dragon King."

Although no one has ever seen what a dragon king looks like, a golden-scaled carp this big might be a relative of the White Python River Dragon King, right? "

"In the final analysis, if it wasn't for the Ling family's face, if it wasn't for the second steward Ling Fu coming in person, if it wasn't for the face of Young Master Ling Yue, even if I had the guts of a dog, I would never dare to go and pick up these ten treasures and bring them here."

"Ten golden-scaled carps more than ten feet long, each worth fifteen hundred taels of red gold. These spiritual creatures created by the heaven and earth of Baimang River are really not expensive!" Chu Tian looked at Ling Fu with a smile, then his gaze gradually left him and focused on Ling Yue and Ling Yinhua, who were already emitting a hint of murderous intent towards him.

"Master Chu!" Ling Yue and Ling Yinhua remained silent. Ling Fu could no longer remain silent and was forced to speak: "Is your golden-scaled carp made of gold? Of course it is a rare item, but the price you are charging is simply outrageous."

"The price is clearly marked, no lies or deception!" Chu Tian smiled kindly, "As I said before, if Ling is willing to buy, I will take the money and the goods, and I will keep the ten big carps and take the gold away! If Ling is not willing to buy, I will take these ten treasures back and release them, but the one hundred taels of deposit will never be returned."

Chu Tian bowed to the students of the academy who were watching from all sides, and said with a smile: "Please bear witness to my humbleness. I am a lowly man from the market who has occupied the mouth of the Baimang River and worked as a stall owner of the fish shop in Qizhou. Although I am of humble origin, I am a reasonable and law-abiding person. This fishing transaction is a matter of mutual consent. I will never make a false offer, but I will never bear any bad reputation for not abiding by the contract!"

Pointing at the ten sinks, Chu Tian said in a deep voice: "The fish are here. The price is this. Second housekeeper Ling Fu, whether you want to buy it or not, please tell me the truth!"

Suddenly, several of the large golden-scaled carps in the water tank flapped their tails violently, splashing large amounts of water and causing the water tank to shake violently.

Chu Tian pointed at the big carps with a smile and said loudly: "Please look, my dears, these are ten big golden carps, more than 12 feet long, with perfect whiskers and golden scales all over their bodies. They are full of energy and vitality. I am not using dead fish or stinky shrimps to deceive customers. These are real golden carps born and raised in Baimang River! There is no flaw in these big carps!"

Xun Yu stood far away. This kind of bargaining, even if he got a little closer, would be an insult to his noble status!

Zhou Liuyun stood beside Xun Yu, squinting his eyes at Chu Tian and laughed softly, "The fish is indeed good. If it is sent to the capital of Dajin, the price will probably increase tenfold! The top families in Dajin don't care about this little bit of gold."

Xun Yu smiled slightly and said calmly: "This Chu Tian has a sharp tongue. Listening to him, he is not a pure rough man who has never been to school. This murderer of your father is quite interesting."

Zhou Liuyun remained silent.

Xun Yu laughed a few times, nodded slowly and said: "It is indeed a rare spiritual object of heaven and earth, not bad, not bad!"

With a flick of his sleeves, Xun Yu turned around and walked into the pavilion leisurely. He was impatient to listen to Chu Tian and Ling Fu bargaining, as this was a noble academy, not a vegetable market in Qizhou.

Xun Yu turned and left, which showed his meaning.

Ling Yinhua stretched out her hand and twisted Ling Yue's arm hard.

Ling Yue frowned and whispered something in Ling Fu's ear. Ling Fu's round face was bitter at first, but he nodded helplessly.

Xun Yu had already left impatiently, and he made it clear that these ten golden carps were very good and he liked them very much. Ling Yue and Ling Fu were shooting themselves in the foot. No matter what, since Xun Yu had expressed this attitude, they would definitely keep these ten carps!

It's not just for Xun Yu's happiness, they also can't afford to lose face for the Ling family!

The deposit was paid in front of many people. In front of many people, it was Ling Fu who forced Chu Tian to catch these ten golden carps. Now Chu Tian, ​​the quality of the goods is flawless, Ling's must accept these ten big carps no matter what!

Ling Yinhua muttered to herself in a low voice: "I originally thought he couldn't do it, so I just found an excuse to beat him to death; but I didn't expect him to actually send ten big carps over. Hehe, fifteen thousand taels of red gold, you are courting death!"

Ling Fu straightened his chest and laughed loudly in front of many students from the academy, "It is indeed a good fish, and it is indeed a rare and precious thing. Only the eldest young master of my Ling family can afford to use such a treasure when hosting a banquet. Only then can he have such a blessing."

With his hands behind his back, Ling Fu looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Ten golden carps, twelve feet long, right? The total price is fifteen thousand taels of red gold. It's not easy to take this amount of gold out of the warehouse. Please wait for a few hours, Mr. Chu. The gold will be delivered to you before dusk."

Chu Tian smiled as brightly as a flower. He smiled and bowed to the students in the academy who were exclaiming in amazement. He laughed and said, "That's great. Well, I'll prepare the gold later, and ask the second butler to send it to Qingliu Cottage. I'll listen to Hong Gu singing there, and wait for the second butler to come."

After laughing a few times, Chu Tian glanced at the golden-scaled carps in the ten tanks, called out to the carps who dared not even breathe, and strode out of the Jishan Academy.

Countless people stared at Chu Tian's back with sharp eyes. The eyes of many well-mannered and well-dressed academy students revealed the cruelty and greed that only long-time bandits could have.

Fifteen thousand taels of pure gold! Just as Ling Yinhua said, Chu Tian is courting his own death. Who knows how many people are eyeing this astronomical fortune.

Chu Tian seemed to be completely unaware of the sharp gaze behind him, as he chatted and laughed as he led the porters and coachmen out of the academy, and loudly announced that they would all get interest after returning to the fish market.

The porters and rickshaw drivers were hundreds of feet away from the academy when they regained their usual courage and laughed out loud.

Chu Tian promised to give them interest, and also promised that all their expenses in the city today would be covered by Chu Tian. These porters and rickshaw drivers laughed and discussed contentedly where to go to find their old lovers, or which restaurant to go to for a few drinks.

Chu Tian did as he said in the academy. After agreeing on a time and place to meet with the porters and rickshaw drivers, he rode his Old Yellow Wolf to Qingliu Cottage alone. After knocking on the door, he stayed inside for the whole day.

The Ling family was wealthy and a very proud family. Just as Ling Fu had promised, at about dusk, ten carts carrying 15,000 taels of pure gold arrived at the door of Qingliu Cottage on time.

For a moment, the whole city of Qizhou was in an uproar. There was a huge crowd of people in front of Qingliu Cottage. At least thousands of idle people were blocking the door, looking at the ten carts full of gold with fiery eyes.

Amid the whispers of countless people, Chu Tian walked out of the gate of Qingliu Cottage with a flushed face and a strong smell of alcohol. He waved to the porters and drivers who were waiting outside the door and said, "Let's go, leave the city, go back, go back!"
