I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Seeing this, the two women put away the small stones in their hands and said with a smile:

"Sir, there are jades everywhere. Just now, a gentleman spent one tael of silver to buy a piece, and found a piece of jade with excellent water content. He sold it to the store for 50 taels of silver and made a profit of 49 taels of silver on the spot..."

The two old women were talking with spit flying all over their bodies.

"Make way, make way, let this gentleman go in and take a look..."

The surrounding men took the initiative to make way for Ji Xiaobei, and he passed through easily.

"Master, please choose another one, a big one. The possibility of finding jade in a small one is relatively small. Go to the house and bring out our treasure to protect the house for me."

As soon as he finished speaking, four or five guys went in and soon carried out a gray stone weighing over 100 kilograms.

"How about this one for 100 taels of silver? You've already bought 10 pieces of 50 taels of silver each. If this piece comes out, you can make back all your money. It's such a big piece, you definitely won't lose money..."

Ji Xiaobei looked down at the calm-looking man with a pouty face...

I was shocked. Why was it him?

If you are filial and honest!

He has already lost 500 taels of silver in gambling. He is so damn rich.

Gambling on stones is like gambling on your life.

If you play this kind of game on the street, you will never win, otherwise why don’t the store owners keep it for themselves?

Ji Xiaobei looked at him again. There were two fleshy bubbles under his chubby face, a tuft of gray beard on his chin, and his cheeks were shaved blue.

With a chubby face and a little white beard, he is instantly recognizable and there is no other like him in the entire Great Northern Dynasty.

Ji Xiaobei grabbed the man by the collar.

Ruo Xiaolian suddenly felt his neck tighten and froze for a moment. He called out in a trance, "Sister..."

"If you are a filial and honest person, you have money but can't spend it on me, so why are you playing gambling on stones here?"

As Ji Xiaobei spoke, he snatched the banknote from his hand and stuffed it into his sleeve.

Ruo Xiaolian ignored the stone and grinned at his blue face, looking surprised and happy:

"Sister, when did you come? Why didn't you send a message?"

Ji Xiaobei pointed at the stone and asked, "I want to ask you what is the matter with the stone blocking?"

"Oh, I was just sitting there with nothing to do, so I ran into someone playing with rocks while I was strolling around, and they were playing with it..."

Ruo Xiaolian threw the two stones in his hand to the ground and pulled Ji Xiaobei: "Come on, go to my house and sit down. Your sister keeps talking about you!"

Ji Xiaobei: Ah! I blame myself for being nosy. They were just playing around.

The store owner had finally met a sucker, so he was unwilling to let Ruo Xiaolian go. He looked at Ji Xiaobei with a stern face and said:

"Sir, no, Miss... Sir, if you don't want to buy, forget it. I'm having fun here, please don't make trouble..."

Ruo Xiaolian stretched out his foot and kicked the stone: Ouch! It hurts!

"Who are you talking about? What's wrong with my sister saying a few words?"

Ruo Xiaolian asked with his eyes wide open.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "I was afraid of spoiling your fun. Please continue reading. 100 taels of silver..."

“I don’t want to watch it anymore! It’s boring…” Ruo Xiaolian waved his hand and pulled Ji Xiaobei to leave.

At this time, several burly men moved a few steps in and looked at the two of them with unfriendly faces.

Ruo Xiaolian's face suddenly changed: Are we being robbed?

He doesn't care about the 100 taels of silver. He would rather lose the money, but I won't fall for your forced sale!

"What do you want to do?"

Ruo Xiaolian asked as he took two steps towards Ji Xiaobei.

"I want to do business with you. You have to buy this stone whether you want to or not!"

The shopkeeper said with a wry smile.

Ji Xiaobei: Did you encounter a shady shop?

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said: "He bought 10 pieces, but nothing came out of it, and you still want to sell him a broken stone worth 100 taels. You really think he is a fool.

How about this, let's make a bet. If the jadeite from this stone is worth 50 taels, the 500-tael note will be yours. If it doesn't turn out to be worth taels, you have to pay me taels!"

Ji Xiaobei shook the banknotes in his hand, put his hands on his waist, raised his strong thighs and stepped on the stone, looking at the shopkeeper fiercely.

The shopkeeper stepped back a few steps, waved his hand and said:

"Brave man, calm down, you are so powerful, I will not do this business anymore!"

As he said this, he asked the boy to carry the stone back to the house.

Anyway, there are many rich people in Anzhou. If this sucker doesn't take the bait, there will be other suckers.

If Xiaolian is unhappy:

500 silver coins were not much money to him, but being cheated was embarrassing.

He looked at Ji Xiaobei suspiciously. Does she understand stones?

This is a new thing that has just flowed into Anzhou from the south, and not many people in the whole Anzhou play it.

Since my sister likes to play, let’s play another round. I don’t have much money anyway, so I might as well have some fun.

He echoed Ji Xiaobei and said, "Yes, do as my sister says!"

The owner acted as if he didn't hear anything and told his boy to carry the stone into the house.

"Why don't you dare to play? You just said that this stone will definitely produce emeralds, and you will definitely make back the money you lost in the previous bet! Don't you mean what you said?"

More and more people gathered around, and the shop owner's face became increasingly gloomy.

Some people pointed and said: "This store has just opened, right? I have never seen it on this street before. Is it really a shady store?"

"It's hard to say. Who can tell what's inside the stone? Isn't that just deceiving?"

……

"Everyone go away, I don't want to do business anymore!" the shop owner shouted, waving his hands.

Ji Xiaobei sneered, and pushed hard with his feet. The stone rolled down from the cross, and with a snap, it broke into two pieces!

Everyone's eyes widened.

"Oh my god, how can this man be so strong?"

"Look, there are still stones inside. There is no jade..."

All eyes turned towards the cracked stone...

Ji Xiaobei: Even if you want to lie, it’s not the right way to lie. The stone was already cracked. No matter how strong her legs are, she can’t split the stone.

"Today, a new official, Tongpan of Anzhou, takes office. Let's send a liar to the government office!"

Ji Xiaobei said.

The shop owner's face darkened and he waved to the burly man behind him.

Several men surrounded Ji Xiaobei, and some of them quickly drew out a dagger and a short knife and stabbed at Ji Xiaobei.

Everyone was frightened and scattered.

Ruo Xiaolian was so frightened that he was stunned. He didn't want to really fight. He just wanted to play with his sister.

Money is really not a problem for him.

It would be bad if my sister was hurt.

He was so scared that he cried for help.

Ji Xiaobei took out a long knife from somewhere and swung it at the men. His feet were not idle either. He kicked back and tripped the attacker behind him, then turned around and stepped on the man's back.

It turned out to be the store owner.

The burly men didn't dare to move, and looked at the person on the ground with pale faces...
