Chapter 2401
2401 Chapter 2401-black-hearted trap
“When I do business, I always talk about integrity! Since I’ve already made a bid, I won’t go back on my word!”
The middle-aged man touched his moustache, squinted his eyes and said,”What’s wrong? You can’t afford it?”
“Xiaobei! Hurry up and pay! What are you doing?” Tian Peng thought that he had gained an advantage and urged.
!!“Alright!” &Quot; yes! &Quot; Chen Xiaobei nodded. &Quot; I’ll pay now. Give me the thing first! &Quot;
“Ha, are you afraid that I’ll lie to you?” The middle-aged man laughed coldly and handed the wooden box containing the Aqua Spirit grass to Chen.
Chen Xiaobei made sure that there was no problem with the Aqua Spirit grass, and paid the 100000 high-grade spiritual stones in one go.
The middle-aged man was a little surprised when he received the money, but he didn’t say much.
Chen Xiaobei and Tian Peng took the Aqua Spirit grass and left the hundred Herb Hall.
……
“Xiao bei? We’ve gained a huge advantage! Why don’t you look happy at all?” Tian Peng asked in confusion.
“Second senior! You’re usually quite smart! Your brain gets hot the moment you take advantage of someone!” &Quot; there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world! &Quot; Chen Xiaobei said.
“Of course there is!” “We just saved 300000 upper spiritual stones. Isn’t this a free lunch?” Tian Peng said proudly.
“Do you think that guy is an idiot?” Chen Xiaobei retorted.
“I think he’s indeed a little silly!” &Quot; of course! &Quot; Tian Peng nodded and said, ” the average price of a three-star earth-god herb is 400000 upper spiritual stones. He only called for 100000! &Quot; If we had haggled with him just now, we might have been able to get even cheaper!”
“I think you’re the one who’s stupid!”
&Quot; what? ” Chen Xiaobei frowned. &Quot; that guy just now had shifty eyes and a moustache. He looks like a typical profiteer! How could a person who is more cunning than a ghost let himself suffer a big loss?”
&Quot; Xiaobei, you’re being too suspicious … &Quot; Tian Peng pouted.”The money has been paid and the goods have been taken. What do you have to worry about?”
“Stop! You two, stop right there!”
At this moment, an angry shout came from nearby.
They saw a man in heavy metal armor and a pair of soldiers with armor and swords charging over.
Chen Xiaobei’s face turned cold and said, ” That’s what I’m worried about!”
&Quot; this … &Quot; Tian Peng’s expression froze.
The group of soldiers quickly surrounded Chen Xiaobei and Tian Peng.
They were on the streets, and such a huge commotion instantly attracted hundreds and thousands of onlookers.
The man in heavy armor took a step forward and shouted angrily, ” “You two little thieves! You want to run away after stealing?”
“Stealing?” Tian Peng immediately retorted,”are you crazy!” When have we ever stolen anything?”
At this moment, the man with the moustache came out from the crowd and pointed at Tian Peng, ” “Shameless thief! You guys have stolen the treasure of the hundred Herb Hall! I saw it with my own eyes, and you still want to renege on your debt?”
“F * ck! So it was like this! You set us up on purpose!” Tian Peng wasn’t stupid but he liked to take advantage of others. The current situation explained everything.
“You bastard!” The heavy-armored man shouted angrily. Shopkeeper Wang was the victim! Who set you up? This General Orders you to hand over the stolen goods immediately! Surrender without resistance!”
“You can’t even tell black from white!” Tian Peng’s face turned red and he said angrily, ” “We bought the water spirit grass with spirit stones! You said we stole, this is a set-up!”
“My fellow villagers! Dear traveling merchants! You guys be the judge!”
Shopkeeper Wang put on an innocent face and wailed, ” “The water spirit grass is the treasure of the hundred Herb Hall. It was passed down to me from my grandfather’s generation, how could I possibly sell it? This is impossible!”
As soon as he said that, some of the elders nodded.
“That’s right … The hundred Herb Hall’s Aqua Spirit herb is the shop’s treasure, everyone in the city knows about it! There’s no way shopkeeper Wang would sell it!”
“It seems that those two young men are really thieves! You didn’t learn well at such a young age! They should be locked up in prison and let them suffer! Only then do they know how to be good people!”
“General Bao! Hurry up and arrest him! If we don’t capture this little thief, the city will definitely not be peaceful!”
“Yes, yes, yes! Hurry up and capture these two thieves!”
Since the older generation could prove that the water spirit grass was the treasure of the hundred Herb Hall, the crowd naturally followed suit and clamored to catch the person!
“General Bao! You’re the law enforcement general of our main city! You must seek justice for all the people here!”
Shopkeeper Wang pleaded with an aggrieved expression, ” “These two thieves must be repeat offenders! If you arrest them and put them in the Imperial prison, you’ll definitely be able to find other stolen goods!”
“The one named Wang! Do you still have any shame?”
Tian Peng’s face turned red. The feeling of being wronged made him want to vomit blood, ” “You’re the one who offered us 100000 upper spiritual stones to sell the Aqua Spirit grass, and now you’re trying to harm us! I’ve never seen such a shameless thing like you!”
“Listen! Everyone, listen!”
Shopkeeper Wang said with an aggrieved expression, ” “The treasure of the hundred Herb Hall! Water spirit grass! Not to mention 100000! Even if someone were to offer a million, I would never sell it! Such a lie! Even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe it!”
As soon as he said this, the surrounding crowd chimed in.
“Well said! Which normal person didn’t know the value of a three-star earth-god medicine? It’s impossible to buy it with 100000 Yuan!”
“What a joke! That b * stard actually said that he only spent 100000 Yuan to buy the water spirit grass! Don’t you think before you brag?”
“Thieves need brains these days! He didn’t even know how to lie! How could he make a living? 100,000 for the water spirit grass? Why don’t you say you bought it for ten thousand?”
Without a doubt, the price of 100000 was too low. No one would believe Tian Peng’s words.
Everyone thought that Tian Peng was lying, and they were even more convinced that Chen Xiaobei and Tian Peng were two thieves!
“The eyes of the masses are sharp! The identity of these two thieves has been confirmed!”
“Guards!” General Bao grinned and said. Arrest these two thieves and put them in the Imperial prison. I’ll interrogate them later and try to find more stolen goods!”
“Yes, sir!”
All of a sudden, the surrounding law enforcement Warriors were all fired up and charged toward Chen Xiaobei and Tian Peng!
“I finally understand!”
Tian Peng’s brows furrowed and his eyes were filled with anger. &Quot; “That Wang guy saw that we were foreigners and deliberately sold things to us at a low price. Then, he colluded with the law-enforcement generals to arrest us. When we arrived at the Imperial prison, he even wanted to take everything from us! What a vicious trap! What a Black Heart!”
“What nonsense! Arrest him!”
General Bao waved his hand impatiently.
“Yes, sir!”
The dozen or so law enforcement Warriors attacked Chen Xiaobei and Tian Peng with their fists and legs.
