Scamming?
"Modern!"
Just as Zhang Zheng's gaze shifted to the fragment, the secret technique of cutting off generations through space was instantly activated. Two huge words that disappointed him appeared on the porcelain fragment.
"Sigh, I'm still too greedy. It's not so easy to encounter a Ru kiln.”
Zhang Zheng shook his head in a self-deprecating manner and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
The rarity of the Ru kiln was well known. He was lucky to have encountered the real thing, so it was not surprising that the one in front of him was a fake.
However, Zhang Zheng began to wonder if these two burly men knew that the porcelain was fake and were deliberately scamming people here.
If they knew that the porcelain was fake, they would be extorting people. In the lingo of the antique industry, this was called pengci!
In the next few decades, pengci was a common practice. It was not only pengci in the antique industry, but also a common practice of pengci.
But people in this era were still very simple. Zhang Zheng didn't know if the prisoners and the hook-nosed man were knowingly breaking the rules.
At this moment, the young woman spoke again,
"Brothers, it's not that I don't want to compensate, but I really don't have the money.
To tell you the truth, my man died a few years ago. My family is so poor that we can't even make a living. I came out this time to sell my ancestral antiques and exchange them for money to live.”
The young woman was probably really at her wit's end. Her family was extremely poor, and now that she had encountered such a thing, her tears flowed down as she spoke.
"Don't give me that. I don't care about that. It's only right for you to compensate us for breaking our treasure.”
The hawk-nosed man coldly said to the young woman.
The surrounding crowd pointed at the young woman beside them. Zhang Zheng's ears were sharp, and he could still hear their whispers.
"What those two said makes sense. They broke other people's things, so logically speaking, they should compensate.”
"That's right. Although this mother and daughter look very pitiful, it's the same principle as paying back a debt.”
"If you ask me, those two don't look like good people. If it were someone else, there would probably be room for negotiation.”
"That makes sense. This mother and daughter are also unlucky to meet such two masters. They probably didn't look at the almanac when they went out.”
……
Although everyone pitied the mother and daughter behind their backs, they felt that the prisoner and the hooknose were on the right side, but they felt that the two of them did not seem to be good people, so they were afraid of them.
Therefore, no one stood up to speak up for the mother and daughter.
Han Chunming whispered into Zhang Zheng's ear,
"Masako, it's a fake."
Zhang Zheng nodded when he heard this. Seeing that he was about to stand up for the young woman, he hurriedly pulled him back.
"Don't be anxious. Let's observe for a while more."
Zhang Zheng was not a cold-blooded person. He had seen the young woman's encounter and felt very sympathetic towards her.
It would have been fine if he hadn't encountered such a thing, but since it happened under his nose, he definitely had to take care of it.
It was just that he was not sure if those two were trying to scam him, so it was not the time to make a move.
At this moment, a short man with a sharp mouth and ape-like cheeks walked out of the crowd and said,
"What happened between you two earlier? I've seen it from the side just now.
Although you guys are in the right, you should be lenient. In my opinion, both of you should take a step back. I have a compromise.”
"This lady really doesn't have the money to compensate you, but didn't she say that she was here to sell antiques?
In my opinion, if you two big brothers are kind enough to take pity on the mother and daughter, then let her use her antiques to offset your antiques.”
After saying that, the man turned to look at the young woman and then at the two big men.
"What do you think of my idea?”
"This…"
The young woman hesitated. She was going to sell this antique for money. If she handed it over like this, she wouldn't be able to survive.
On the other hand, the two burly men rolled their eyes after hearing this. Then, they widened their eyes.
"No, I have a Ru kiln azure glaze round wash. Can her antiques compare to mine?”
The man quickly said,
"Big Brother, calm down. You saw it too. They really can't afford to compensate. It's not a good idea for you to just waste time like this.
Just treat it as doing good deeds and letting her off. She will definitely remember your kindness in the future.”
After hearing this, the prisoner and the hawk-nosed man pretended to stick their heads out and discuss for a while before saying,
"Alright, what you said is a good idea. We agreed. If it weren't for you today, she wouldn't be able to leave without a thousand yuan.”
"Big Brother, you're so bright!" The short man gave her a thumbs up, then turned around and urged the young woman," What are you waiting for? Hurry up and take out your antiques for these two big brothers."
They are all good people. They let you off so easily. Remember to repay them in the future.”
At the same time, he subconsciously glanced at her bag. Excitement flashed in his eyes, but he immediately retracted his gaze.
