Jiang Wang didn't have much to prepare. He went to the stable and got Yan Zhao. With a long sword hanging from his waist and a green robe, he left the residence and headed to the "Yi" Gate.
Of course, he wouldn't gallop wildly in the busy city. Yan Zhao was also very intelligent. He walked very steadily and knew how to avoid pedestrians.
At this moment, an old man walked over shakily in front of him.
Yan Zhao snorted, turned his hooves, and moved to the side.
Jiang Wang could clearly see that the old man had also turned around.
Then —
"Ah ~ Ah!"
Just in front of Yan Zhao's hooves, he slowly lay down.
He shouted weakly, "Someone's dead."
Judging from his aura, he was an ordinary person. He was wearing rough hemp clothes and had two patches on his body. He was washed clean.
Jiang Wang was speechless. He pulled the reins and steered the horse to the side, afraid that Yan Zhao would really accidentally trample him to death.
"You can't leave!" The old man shouted again.
He shouted, "Everyone, come and see. You won't care if you cripple someone!"
"I'll talk." Jiang Wang looked down at him from the back of the horse. He took out the Blue Medal and waved it in front of his eyes. "Shouldn't you look at the person you're blackmailing? I'm very curious. With your professional ability, how did you live to this age? "
The old man raised his body and narrowed his eyes to look for a while, as if he was distinguishing between real and fake.
Then, he lay down again …
He shouted loudly, "Everyone, come and see. The Blue Medal's horse killed someone!"
Jiang Wang: …
He really valued money more than his life!
The Blue Medal's death was indeed a hot topic.
The crowd, which had been slowly gathering, suddenly sped up. The crowd surged over in an instant.
The voices of pointing and whispering were endless.
If he left now, it would really be hard to explain.
Jiang Wang sighed. "If you don't get up, I'll let the patrol office handle this matter."
"Are you trying to scare me?" The old man glared at him. "I'm warning you. I injured my brain when I was young. I can't be scared. If something happens to him because of you … "
"You also seem to have a brain injury. Were you beaten when you were young?" Jiang Wang said faintly.
"You're threatening me again, aren't you?" The old man shouted in all directions, "Fellow villagers of Linzi, take a look! At the foot of the Son of Heaven, a Blue Medal rode his horse and hit me, an eighty-year-old old man. He even threatened to hit me!"
The onlookers also glared at him. There were even a few youngsters who were eager to get rid of the strong and help the weak, rolling up their sleeves.
Jiang Wang felt helpless.
"Alright, alright." He took out a string of money. "Hurry up and take the money."
"You should have done this earlier!" The old man quickly got up, grabbed the money in Jiang Wang's hand, and began to count it happily.
Seeing this scene, everyone knew that this old man was extorting them.
"Bang!"
The righteous crowd dispersed.
Jiang Wang didn't pay any attention to him and turned his horse to leave.
As for this old man who was extorting people on the street, the inspector's office would teach him how to turn over a new leaf. If he didn't get back ten times the money, he would have wasted his fourth-grade Blue Medal!
"Hey, young man, wait a moment." The old man stretched out his arm and blocked the horse. "It's fate that brought us together. Why don't we make another deal?"
He seemed to want a yard after getting an inch.
Jiang Wang looked at him. "Oh?"
This old man had a thin appearance. If it weren't for the fact that he was rolling on the ground and holding the money in his hand, at first glance, he really did look like an immortal.
"What, you don't really think that I was extorting you just now, do you? I'm already so old. Do I really need to do something that will end my bloodline? "
Jiang Wang didn't know how to respond. This old man was too cruel to him!
The old man casually stuffed the string of money into his pocket and said, "I was shocked by you just now and fell down. Don't tell me that you shouldn't take responsibility? This money is already too cheap for you! "
Jiang Wang was so angry that he laughed. "Didn't you just say that you were knocked down by the horse?"
The old man waved his hand. "That's about it. That's what I meant! In any case, you caused me to fall! "
"You know very well how you fell."
"Great! Now you're going back on your word! "The old man said with conviction." If you didn't cause me to fall, why would you compensate me? "
"Old man, don't talk nonsense. Things like retribution aren't necessarily out of the question. "Jiang Wang pulled the reins and had Yan Zhao take a detour." I still have things to do. I'm leaving! "
The old man took a step back. For some reason, he stopped in front of the horse again.
He blew his beard and said, "You still don't believe this old man. This old man has a proper job, okay? I'm a proper person! "
Jiang Wang's pupils shrank slightly. He actually didn't notice just now how this old man stopped Yan Zhao.
The usually unruly Yan Zhao seemed to have sensed something and was very docile at this time.
"Old man." Jiang Wang looked at him seriously. "I'll let you know that my tolerance for ordinary people and extraordinary cultivators is different. Because there are some anger that ordinary people can't bear, I will restrain myself. Now, let me ask you. Are you sure you want to continue pestering me here? "
No matter who this old man was, no matter how deep he hid.
This was Linzi!
Whether he was a dragon or a tiger, he had to kneel. He had to kneel properly!
"Oh, you're young. Don't be so serious. You'll get wrinkles easily." The old man came closer and reached out to stroke Yan Zhao's fiery red mane. Yan Zhao actually let him touch it obediently.
He chuckled and looked up at Jiang Wang. "How about this, this old man will read your face? I'll make it up to you for wasting a bit of your time. "
"Read my face?" Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows. "This is the proper job you were talking about?"
The old man didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "It's better than a brothel pimp, right?"
Jiang Wang didn't know what to say for a moment.
This old man's words had a hidden meaning.
"Thank you for one primeval stone." The old man stretched out a skinny finger.
Jiang Wang only pulled on the reins. "No need!"
"Hey!" The old man blocked in front of him and took the initiative to lower the price. "One primeval stone is ten thousand. Is that okay?"
Jiang Wang asked, "Do you also have no fate with a physiognomist?"
"You don't know. How do you know you have no fate?" The old man begged. "Maybe there is fate, but you don't know it!"
Jiang Wang looked at him. "Your appearance reminds me of an acquaintance."
The old man smiled. "Everyone in the world is like me. Learn from me!"
At this moment, there was an air of disdain.
Jiang Wang shook his head. "I don't think that person will agree. If he hears this, he will directly scold you."
The old man was still concerned about his business. "Ten Dao Primeval Stones, no less!"
Jiang Wang shook his head. "I'm not bargaining with you, old man. You see that there are so many people on this street. They might all be your business, but I definitely am not. Don't waste time on me. My fate is not decided by others. I don't need anyone to tell me what to do. "
The old man sighed. "Young man, I was once like you. I was in my prime and believed that I could face everything. But now, I'm thin and wrinkled. Only then do I understand that fate is irreversible. Besides being childish, there's nothing special about being young. I was young, but were you old? "
Jiang Wang said, "There's nothing special about being old. I will eventually be old, but you can't be young anymore. Don't take advantage of your seniority. Each generation has its own way of living. This is especially true for people like me. "
The old man opened his hand and stretched out his wrinkled hand in front of Jiang Wang. "Then give me another coin."
Jiang Wang decisively took out a coin and placed it in his hand.
This time, the old man was a little surprised. He looked up at him. "Aren't you unwilling to calculate?"
Jiang Wang smiled. "If it's just a coin, then there's no harm in listening."
