Clay Doll said contemptuously, "Thirty thousand taels was the price yesterday, and today it has risen to fifty thousand taels per copy."
The tall and thin man was shocked: "This is so expensive! Wasn't it 30,000 taels agreed yesterday?"
The clay doll said disdainfully, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? If you don't buy it today, it will be fifty thousand taels. If you don't want it today, it will be seventy thousand taels tomorrow, and one hundred thousand taels the day after tomorrow!"
The tall and thin man was shocked. He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll buy it! But I don't have that much money. I'll give you 30,000 taels of silver notes first. I'll send someone to get the remaining 20,000 taels for you."
Clay Baby's breathing became a little rapid. Fifty thousand taels meant that he could deduct a full twenty thousand taels from the money. You know, twenty thousand taels of silver was considered a wealthy family in Bianjing. From now on, I will be a rich man.
The tall and thin man was Shen Feiyu. Sure enough, not long after, he sent someone to deliver another 20,000 taels of silver to Niwa. Niwa almost trembled as he put the 50,000 taels of silver into his arms.
When he left Gaosheng Inn, Niwawa sneaked back to the dilapidated temple outside the city like a thief. That was his doghouse.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows, and Niwa was no fool. He carefully placed the 20,000 taels of silver under the cushion behind the statue in the dilapidated temple, and only carried the 30,000 taels in his arms. He knew that if the mysterious man took it again and searched him for the 20,000 taels, he would be finished.
Sure enough, when Niwa returned to the entrance of Zuixinglou, he was tied up again. This time he learned his lesson: "Brothers, we are acquainted now. Please don't use sacks. I really can't breathe. Just cover my eyes with black cloth. I beg heroes to show mercy."
The big men looked at each other, and finally the big man took out a black cloth from his arms and covered the clay doll's eyes.
A subtle smile played at the corners of the clay doll's mouth. This trick was child's play for him. These people, though mysterious, still lacked the experience of the world. They had blindfolded the clay doll, but they didn't realize that people can see down below their eyelids. If the blindfold wasn't tied tightly, you could see the ground beneath your eyelids without them noticing.
Although Niwa knew this was courting death, he couldn't help but want to know the other party's background. Because only by knowing both oneself and the enemy can one avoid being robbed in the future. He was afraid that in the end, the other party would turn against him and kill him to silence him. There was nothing these people couldn't do, so he had to have a backup plan.
