Chapter 228: Another World Scavenger Party

Since the plan has been formulated, it is naturally time to implement it. The soldiers who came with the team contacted Burney, divided the stolen goods and set off overnight, and ran towards the surrounding cities.

The next day, Tang En also went out early in the morning to head towards the city hall.

In fact, there are still three days before the banquet, so there is no need to be so hasty, but last night when Bosco said that the invitation was a bit popular, Tang En decided to buy it first to avoid problems.

However, I regretted this decision after Tang En got off the carriage. Because the city hall had not opened yet, it seemed that it was not at work, so I did...

In desperation, Tang En had to scratch his head, bought a newspaper from the newspaper boy, and sat on the steps beside him waiting.

The location of the city hall is not far from ****. The Hanshui City in the early morning is already lively enough, with people coming and going, most of which are merchant groups that have carriages ready to leave. Of course, there are also some men who don’t go home at night, packing their clothes and running by. As for how to see it, it’s simple, there is still a little rouge left on their necks... Pray, I hope he won’t die too badly when he goes back. Haha…

I didn't pay much attention to that newspaper. Tang En prefers to observe all kinds of passers-by, guess their whereabouts, identities, and what they did before... It sounds a bit boring, but it is beneficial for disguise and cultivating killer thinking. Well, it's really boring to kill people again...

Shaking his head, Tang En casually opened the newspaper and read a few pictures, and couldn't help but feel bored. Because of their arrival, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the procurement task, Bourney's secret agency has not made any publicity recently. This was misunderstood by the official newspaper as weak, and several pages were slanderous remarks that were to pursue the victory...

Hum? While reading it bored, Tang En's heart suddenly moved, raised the newspaper slightly, and his eyes swept around. It turned out that during this period, some people gathered around, far or near. After observing again, Tang En felt relieved. It was not an ambush. Those who were dressed as merchants or stewards should have been waiting for him to open the door to buy invitations in the city hall.

Tsk, it seems that it is really popular...

"Good morning sir."

Putting down the newspaper, Tang En looked up at the young man with a rather vulgar facial features that appeared in front of him: "Hello."

"Brother is here to buy invitations for banquets. Well, I feel like I have a good relationship when I see you. I have the last invitation here. Do you want it if you want it?" The young man was familiar with it and got to get along with it as soon as he came. After saying that, he looked around vigilantly, carefully took out a big red gold stamping sticker from his arms, spread it for a few seconds, and then put it back in again.

Although the time was short, Tang En still saw the appearance and contents of the invitation. This should undoubtedly be the invitation for the Shuiyue Manor Banquet. Whether it was packaging or paper, it was a high-end product at first glance. The column of the guest's name inside was empty, and there was also the seal of the City Lord's Mansion in the lower right corner.

Tang En's face was a little weird, he stared at the young man in a daze, and opened his mouth: "There are scalpers here too?"

"...what, what awesome?" The young man was stunned for a moment, looking puzzled.

"Oh, nothing." Tang En came to his senses and raised his eyebrows, "Then how much do you plan to sell this invitation?"

"It's not expensive, just treat it as my gift to my elder brother. Well, 50,000 gold coins."

"Uh?" Tang En was stunned at first, then shook his head speechlessly and said with a smile, "Haha, you can call it Ming robbery. Well, as far as I know, the price of the invitation is about eight thousand gold coins, right?" Tang En is right now, but this does not mean that he is willing to be a sucker.

"It's eight thousand, right." The enthusiasm on the young man's face disappeared, he patted the invitation on his chest and said mysteriously, "But do you think you can still buy it now?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You always have to try it. Sorry, you are too expensive and I can't afford it."

"Forget it, others are rushing to buy it." The young man said angrily, took two steps, and turned around, "If you look for me, the price may be more than this." After that, he walked towards the other side without looking back, and there was a man who looked like a businessman sitting there.

Shrugged, Tang En stood up indifferently, and the gate of the city hall was opened not far away.

Of course, the City Hall did not have only one sales function. After suffering a few cold and indifferent glances, Tang En finally found out about the place. This experience vaguely made him feel a little illusioned to return to the present world...

"What, sold out? How is this invitation only started to be sold today."

Before entering the door, Tang En heard an angry voice coming from inside. When he pushed the door open, he saw several people surrounding an office desk with excitement and approaching. A middle-aged official in a uniform held his arms, his eyes drooped, and his expression was very cold.

After listening for a while, Tang En couldn't help but feel depressed. The middle-aged man was the person in charge of the sale. According to what he said, the banquet invitation had been sold out. This is undoubtedly absurd, because the invitation was only sold this morning, and Tang En and his friends were already waiting when the city hall was not opened.

After a while, several armored guards appeared outside the door, forcibly drove out the most violent man on the grounds of obstructing official duties.

As a result, the people who stayed behind were a little stunned. They started to get close to each other and secretly stuffed money. However, the middle-aged man was unmoved and said indifferently that the invitation was gone. After a while of entanglement, everyone had to curse and walk out of the room.

The operation of the secret? But this is too thorough... Tang En frowned and exited the room with the crowd.

As soon as I came out, I happened to meet the scalper before.

"Haha, how about it? Isn't it sold?" After seeing Tang En, the young man couldn't help but smile with a sarcastic look and said proudly.

Tang En's face did not move, and he nodded: "Yes."

"Hmph!" The young man was bored and couldn't help but curl his lips and walked into the room, bringing the wooden door.

Tang En paused, threw his right hand back, and the dagger that poked out closed and was about to resist. After looking around, the people who had not bought it were walking out cursing. Although there were some guards not far away, their attention was not here for the time being.

Tang En quickly took two steps back and put on the wooden door...

"Sir, your method is so clever. Those ten invitations have been sold, and this is the money you get." Needless to say, the flattering voice was timed for the young man.

"Hmph, you guys have hidden it!" The majestic voice of the middle-aged official rang out.

"Oh, it's unfair. Even if I give you ten courage, I dare not deceive you."

"Nothing is the best, if there is any, you know the consequences!"

“Yes, yes…”

"Well, I'll give you some more. Do it well, and I won't treat you badly afterwards!"

"Thank you, thank you, I will definitely..."

…………

Haha, I knew it would be like this... I shook my head and laughed silently twice. Tang En walked away before the guards not far away looked over.

After leaving the city hall, Tang En did not leave, but sat behind a cylinder. After a little observation, he soon noticed that there were more than a dozen people constantly shuttled through the anxious crowd, bowing their heads and whispering something from time to time.

Needless to say, they should be scalpers from another world like the young man. It seems that no matter which time and space it is, as long as they have a desire for money, the choices they make are always the same. Because the statements of the middle-aged official in the city hall are that these people are doing well now and the transaction rate is extremely high.

Originally, only they have invitations. So they have confidence, don’t buy them. But the buyers are different. As long as they want to buy, they have to be slaughtered, and even bargaining is impossible. In the end, they have to buy them.

Reporting? This is impossible to succeed. Middle-aged officials just say that the invitation was bought by these people. After all, as long as others have money, you can't care how much others want to buy. What's more, the price from 8,000 to 50,000 or even higher is definitely not courageous or capable of greedy. You will know that there must be many complicated protection networks behind this.

This is the power of the unspoken rules...

Several people came to Tang En to sell it, but Tang En shook his head and refused, saying that he was just here to sit and rest.

Soon, the vulgar young man walked out of the city hall. Looking at the bulging chest, he knew that the middle-aged official gave him a lot. It must be that the reward afterwards was also generous. He did not delay after coming out and immediately walked into the crowd and began to lobby for sale.

Tang En's mouth curled slightly, turned out from behind the pillar, and walked straight towards the young man.

In this short time, the young man made another move on a butler. Just as he was proudly putting the golden ticket into his arms, someone suddenly slapped his shoulder.

"How is the business?"

As soon as his body shook, the young man let out a short scream, turned his head suddenly, and suddenly became furious: "What are you doing... it's you!"

"Yes." Tang En nodded with a smile.

Huh... The young man breathed a sigh of relief at first, then his eyes rolled around a few times, and his face was full of smug smile: "Haha, I finally figured it out, right? But the price is not the same as before, 80,000, and a single cent cannot be lost!"

"You misunderstood." Tang En reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder again, and smiled, "I just want to ask you how your business is?"

Slap, an angry look flashed across the youth's face, and reached out to knock Tang En off his arm and curled his lips, "The business is pretty good, what's wrong?"

"Yeah, congratulations, congratulations." Tang En nodded, full of sincerity, "Then you keep working hard and don't disturb you."

After saying that, he simply turned around and left.

The young man stood there, opened his mouth, and after a while, he came to his senses: "I'm sick!"

…………

On the other side of the square, Tang En, who had already been on the carriage, flipped his left hand and three big red gold-plated invitations appeared in his hand.

"Haha, it feels good to get something for nothing... Well, I'm one, Ferry one, Bosco one, Tsk, 50,000 gold coins. No, this one has to be reimbursed, at least that old guy has to be repaid. Don't say he doesn't want to? I'm already discounted because of the love relationship..."

Tang En is not good at the skill of being empty-handed, at least not as good as Jack. But when you take things in front of you, you only need to be quick-handed, and Tang En is still confident in this regard.
