Chapter 427 Imperial Envoy
This weak scholar looks heroic and proud.
His eyes are calm, his clothes are clean and tidy, even wrinkles are rare, and his whole body reveals an extraordinary temperament.
Seeing Su Lin coming up, he drank the tea in his hand elegantly, with a slow and long tone, pointing to the seat in front of him, "Please sit down."
When Su Lin saw him for the first time, he could tell that he must be an official, and his position was not low.
As for the innate warrior next to him, his aura was also full, but the difference was that he had a murderous aura, and he should be a military officer.
"You two want to buy my animal skin? My price is not cheap."
Although I know that they are dignitaries, not everyone can pay generously.
The scholar closed the fan in his hand and respectfully poured a cup of tea for Su Lin, "As for the price, it's easy to talk about. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ding Pingzhou."
Su Lin was puzzled. They didn't know each other before, just doing business, why did he do this?
He didn't want to waste time here. After all, he was a wanted criminal. It wouldn't be long before the government would come knocking on his door.
"Just tell me, how much can you offer?"
Ding Pingzhou held up three fingers, which surprised Su Lin. "30,000 taels? OK, deal!"
Who knew that the next second, he shook his head, "3,000 taels!"
At this moment, Su Lin really wanted to swear. Just now, those local tycoons on the street offered 6,000 or 7,000 taels for the package, but here, they actually discounted it by half?
He really shouldn't have wasted time going upstairs. He put away the fur, stood up and wanted to leave.
Who knew that, accompanied by the sound of drawing a sword, the innate warrior actually blocked the door, "My young master didn't let you go, so you can't leave!"
Su Lin sneered: "Your Excellency is dressed elegantly, I thought you were a gentleman, but I didn't expect you to do robbery?"
This move touched Ding Pingzhou's heart. He usually hates evil, how could he do such a thing? So he looked at the innate warrior with dissatisfaction and shouted angrily: "Ding Wu, you are so brave!"
The warrior named Ding Wu put away his sword and apologized to Su Lin under the order of his master.
"Humph, is there such a way of doing business in the world?"
Su Lin was naturally unwilling to accept it. They destroyed his great business and now wanted to keep him. It was simply a joke!
Ding Pingzhou walked up to him and looked at him deeply, "Brother, don't you know how to call me?"
"Su Lin." He said his name indifferently.
Ding Pingzhou looked at the animal skin in his hand and couldn't let it go. Such a beautiful fur color is rare even in the capital of the Northern Kingdom.
Don't miss it.
"Brother Su, we can talk about it, but I am really short of money and can only pay three thousand taels for the time being."
Su Lin was already desperate. He didn't do the high-priced business and came to lose money. Isn't this a fool?
But he still replied politely: "Master Ding, I know you like it. How about this? You can buy half of it with your three thousand taels?"
Su Lin selected some of the inferior ones and put them on the table, and held the most valuable bear and tiger skin in his arms.
Little did he know that Ding Pingzhou was attracted by it.
He was greedy at the moment, but he had no money in his hand, so he could only sigh helplessly, "Alas, it's not meant to be."
"But please don't be angry, brother Su. I am a servant from the army, so I naturally have some hostility."
"Even if the deal doesn't work out, we can still be friends. How about that?"
Ding Pingzhou was already very kind. As a government official, I'm afraid most people would turn against him if they stood here.
This shows that he has a good personality and is worth making friends with.
Su Lin had an idea in his mind. In this world, he must find some backers. I wonder how high the official position of this person in front of him is?
If he caters to his preferences, maybe he can get favors, which can play a big role at a critical moment.
Before he could reply, there was a noise outside the teahouse.
"Lanzhou Prefecture is investigating a case, get out of here!"
Outside the door, the sound of swords being drawn came, and there were more than a dozen black shadows on the door.
"Who is the murderer who killed five yamen runners on the street? Point it out honestly, otherwise, you will die!"
Hearing this, Su Lin shook his head helplessly. He was still found at the door, and he shouldn't have entered the teahouse.
Presumably, there were many people here, and some of them were those who had joined in the fun on the street before, and reported him for the government's reward.
He really regretted it. If he had sold it quickly on the street, he would not only earn six or seven thousand taels, but also avoid this kind of thing.
"You have hurt me so much."
Su Lin sighed lightly. He knew that he was in trouble, but he was not afraid. His strength as a post-natal warrior was enough.
"It's just your bad luck."
Just when Su Lin was about to take action, Ding Pingzhou stopped him.
"Brother Su, I have seen your deeds with my own eyes."
"Not long ago, you taught those yamen runners who oppressed the people on the street a lesson. Brother admires you very much."
"Hmph, these dog officials are ignorant and want you instead!"
Su Lin was stunned. He didn't expect that Ding Pingzhou knew his identity from beginning to end and didn't say it explicitly. He really respected him from the bottom of his heart.
His view of this person improved, "Oh? You are also a government official, and you support me?"
Ding Pingzhou was full of surprise. He didn't understand how Su Lin knew his identity, but at this time, he didn't have time to talk about these things.
So he simply revealed his identity: "I am a fourth-rank imperial envoy of the court. This time I came to Lanzhou to investigate these corrupt officials."
"You don't have to be afraid. I will help you solve this trouble."
As he said, he pushed open the door of the box.
Outside the house, the fully armed officials were waiting seriously. After all, according to the news they received, the murderer was extremely powerful.
But seeing a weak scholar coming out, they were really puzzled.
Before they could speak, Ding Pingzhou took out a golden token from his waist and said to everyone: "I am the imperial envoy Ding Pingzhou. Who dares to be presumptuous?"
The pure gold token is extremely rare.
Although everyone is a small official, they have heard that the emperor gave this thing to this year's top scholar and appointed him as a fourth-rank imperial envoy.
The man in front of them, whether in terms of dress or aura, does not look fake. In order to avoid trouble, they naturally choose to believe it.
"Sir!"
Everyone saluted in unison. Ding Pingzhou was not polite and asked directly: "Why are you arresting my friend?"
Su Lin also stood up at this time. Behind the official, a guy dressed like a peddler pointed at him, "It's him, he is the murderer!"
The leader immediately plucked up his courage, "Sir? This is a wanted criminal, and he is actually your friend? This is probably not right!"
Ding Pingzhou sneered, "Do you mean that I am protecting him?"
