Chapter 99: The Young Rascal Blocks the Way

  "Damn! Is this a mistake? I thought only seven boys were selected from that row, and my luck was already bad enough. I didn't expect there to be only three girls? Including Little Wolf Boy, it's just eleven..."

  Wu Yeru felt a bit depressed, turned his head to look at the fat boss who was smiling and re-counting the number of slaves, thinking, "It seems that today's plan to complete the task is going to be empty, tsk! Now it's not early anymore, from here back to the inn still have to arrange for these people to settle down, I reckon busy till night will also be black, looks like can only wait until tomorrow again."

  "It's good this way, I've had a proper stroll for the whole afternoon, and I've only just finished circling one store. Not to mention systematic tasks, I haven't even seen what an alien looks like. If there's time, it's not bad to come and take a look around."

  Looking at Chen Baozi who had already brought the account book to his side, Wu Yeru looked at the numbers on it and then glanced at Yu Qianshan and Yu Hu beside him. Seeing them nodding slightly towards himself, he knew that the numbers were correct. Since there were no more doubts, Wu Yeru took out a small stack of gold notes from his chest and handed a few to Chen Baozi, whose eyes had gone wide with wonder.

  "Go find some carts and have these slaves delivered to the Baifang Inn in the south of the city. Any extra will be considered a reward for you."

  "Alright! Don't worry, young master, I'll take care of these things properly and there won't be any mistakes! Hehehe, I'll go find a car for you right away." Chen Pangzi took the gold ticket and immediately agreed, carefully putting the money into his own pocket, then turned around and ran out to hail a car.

  "Come on, you two follow me and get in the car, let's head back together." Wu Yeyu said to Yu Shi and his son beside him, then carried the sleeping Xiao Lang and pulled Xiao Tao as they walked out.

  "I don't know if Wu Zongyue is in the inn or not, that old guy is still in his prime, but all the women at home are gone, I hope he didn't suffocate and ran to a brothel while I was away~" With malicious speculation in her mind, Wu Yeru just lifted the curtain of the tent, when a quarrelsome voice suddenly entered her ears.

  To be exact, it was a group of people scolding Chen Baozi, but the fatty was also very humble and bowed his head to apologize, not daring to retort. The surrounding area was surrounded by a circle of onlookers, but no one dared to intervene. Hmm, it seems that this group of people must have some background.

  "Chen Baozi! You little scoundrel, are you doing this on purpose?! Intentionally causing trouble for our Young Master Liu, ah! I heard that you, Chen Baozi, just received a batch of soldier slaves, specially brought in to flatter you. Knowing how hard it is to do business in this line, you thought to yourself, 'Let's pick out a few capable ones to be slaves and follow us around.' Ha! But then you come along and say that those slaves have already been sold off! Who are you trying to fool?! Who bought them?! Point them out to me so I can take a look! That was over 200 soldier-slaves, who would dare buy them?! Let me tell you, Chen Baozi, isn't it just because Young Master Liu owes you money for those female slaves that you're holding a grudge against him?! Do you still want to do business in Linbo City or not?!"

  "Take one of his legs off!..."

  "Smash his stall! How dare he try this trick on us Liu family!"

  "Get out of my way, let me kill him..."

  ……

  As soon as I came out, I saw this scene in front of me. A group of young men, probably around 17 or 18 years old, about a dozen of them, were surrounding a youth dressed in luxurious clothing. The youth was slightly smaller than the others and wore a white robe with golden silk decorations, clearly their "Liu Shao".

  Liu Shao didn't say a word at this time, he just stood there, slanting his eyes to look at the fat man who didn't dare to retort, with his eyes narrowed and an ominous expression, obviously very unhappy. The group of followers beside him pointed at Chen Fat's nose and scolded one by one.

  Looking at Chen Pangzi, his face was completely red, and he had lost the smiling tiger image from when he was haggling with Wu Yeyu. He kept apologizing profusely. The weather outside was already hot, and as a fat person, he felt even more uncomfortable. His sweat had already covered his entire head, and every time he wiped it away, water droplets would fall down, making him look extremely disheveled.

  That fat guy is a clever person, obviously knowing that he can't be scolded like this all the time, or else maybe this business will be finished in the future.

  Just as he was getting anxious, his eyes caught Wu Ye Yu and the others coming out of the tent. Suddenly, his face lit up, and with a burst of courage, he said: "Ah! Gentlemen, gentlemen! This matter is indeed my fault, I did it wrong! But... I really didn't cheat you guys!"

  Chen Pangzi finished speaking, took a few steps forward and came to Liu Shao's side. He bowed first, then said: "Liu Shao, please take a look, I'm really not cheating you. That batch of slaves is right there, they just paid the money and haven't even had time to get on the car yet. I really didn't cheat you." After finishing speaking, he pointed to a group of horse-drawn carriages in the distance, where a line of slaves were walking onto the vehicles.

  When Liu Shao saw this scene, his originally gloomy face slightly improved. Chen Pangzi saw that there was a chance and immediately spoke carefully: "Before, we really didn't know it was you who came. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to sell the thing you liked to someone else. Besides, you are Liu Shao, what kind of person are you? You are the son of the deputy city lord's family in Linbo City, a person that I can only try to curry favor with. If we really knew you were interested in our slaves, even if we didn't make money from it, why not give this batch of slaves to you as a gift? Wouldn't that be a good opportunity to get acquainted with you?"

  Liu Shao's expression, which had been unpleasant earlier, had almost completely disappeared, and his face had returned to its normal calm state. There was even a hint of smugness in his eyes as he spoke: "What are you talking about, Old Chen? You're businessmen, aren't you? Isn't it just about making a profit from doing business? I'm not an unreasonable person, so why would I not pay the money when the time comes?"

  "Hey! What's with the way you're talking, Chen Baozi? Can't Liu Shao even spare that little bit of money for you?" The young people around them started criticizing and teasing Baozi again.

  ……

  He was scolded again, Chen Baozi wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled: "That's it! That's it! Mr. Liu, you naturally won't care about that little money, we business people all rely on you to eat, haha, it's my fault, I'm the one who's wrong!"

  After finishing his sentence, Chen Pangzi took advantage of the surrounding people's joyful smiles and continued to say: "Normally, you are also the one who understands us small vendors the most. We naturally know your goodness, haha, in doing business, what's emphasized is integrity, right?"

  "Uh, this is natural. No matter what others say, you business people still have to take Chen Xin as the root. If your reputation is ruined, who will come to buy from you? After all, there are countless people in your line of work." Liu Shao nodded and said, leading to a chorus of agreement from his entourage.

  "Haha, that's it! We businessmen value honesty above all else, and cheating or breaking promises is out of the question. So, Liu Shao, you should also understand me, Chen Baozi - I'm really in a tight spot! Just now, I've already sold that batch of slaves, and I've even issued the receipt to the buyer, who has paid in full. Now it's just a matter of delivering them, but... well, I'm really at my wit's end!" Chen Baozi said, wiping his face vigorously.

  Some stuttered and continued: "If, if you don't mind, I'll make sure to bring another batch of soldier slaves for you next time!" After finishing speaking, he didn't dare look up at Liu Shao's face again, but instead lowered his head, looking at the ground, and remained silent.

  After hearing Chen Pangzi's words, the surrounding voices suddenly fell silent. Even the onlookers at the periphery knew that something was amiss and hastily stopped their discussions.

  No matter which Liu or those followers, they all have nothing to say now. The scene was a bit heavy for a while, at least Chen Baozi felt that way, only to see Chen Baozi's head lowered like this, the sweat on his face was pouring down like rain, so much so that Chen Baozi's breathing became somewhat difficult, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion.

  After a while, Liu Shao walked forward a few steps and appeared in Chen Baozi's line of sight. Chen Baozi's heart also tightened up, but then relaxed, because at this moment, he heard these words by his ear.

  "Who was it that bought those slaves?" The voice was calm, but it could be felt the anger within.

  "I've made a bet." Chen Baozi let out a silent sigh, but immediately became worried again, his mind racing back and forth. After complex mental activity, he finally made a decision and pointed to the entrance of their own tent.
