"If you run away and deny the debt, who will I, Third Master, look for?"

"Once the thumbprint is pressed, the government will testify."

"As for your foster daughter Ren Diao Chan, I will detain her here first."

"When the Wang family comes to bring the money, we will exchange money for the person, which is reasonable." Ma San said.

Li Gouer looked up at the fierce Ma San and his subordinates, and didn't dare to refuse, so he could only nod.

After a while, Ma San had someone write a document.

Li Gouer was illiterate and could only sign and press his thumbprint according to Ma San's wishes.

Looking at the thumbprint on the document, Ma San chuckled and folded it, placing it in his bosom.

"Little Five, Jifu, you two follow Doggy to his house and bring Doggy's foster daughter here."

"Remember, don't let her get hurt in the slightest for me."

Jinyang.

There were small vendors everywhere on both sides of the ancient streets.

The middle of the street was full of pedestrians coming and going.

Duan Yu held Diao Chan's hand and walked through the crowd.

Even on the crowded street, Duan Yu's figure was still like a crane in a flock of chickens.

No matter where he went, he would attract many surprised gazes.

Coupled with the leopard skin Duan Yu carried on his back, he always attracted attention.

As the seat of the Bingzhou government and also the seat of Taiyuan Commandery, Jinyang could be said to be the most prosperous place in all of Bingzhou.

The market in the city was also very large.

It was divided into East and West markets.

The East Market was a trading market for grain and cloth.

While the West Market was a trading market for horses and livestock.

Stone had told Duan Yu all this when they came.

Therefore, after separating in the city, Duan Yu took Diao Chan and headed all the way to the West Market.

After passing through several streets, Duan Yu also arrived at the lively West Market.

He found an empty spot and laid out the furs he had brought one by one, waiting for someone to come and ask for the price.

West Market.

Crowded and bustling.

A gorgeously dressed woman, accompanied by a middle-aged man and several sword-wielding men, was scanning the market.

"Mr. Li, Father usually likes fierce horses the most, and in a few days, it will be Father's birthday."

"I want to pick a gift that Father will like."

"I brought Mr. Li out today to trouble you to give me some ideas."

The person called Mr. Li was wearing a black robe.

He wore a scholar's cap on his head, had a handlebar mustache, and was fair-skinned.

At a glance, he was a scholar and a member of a noble family.

And the guards beside the two were all strong and powerful people, who looked like they came from the army at a glance.

Their gazes were arrogant and vigilant as they looked around.

No one dared to approach them easily from a distance.

The middle-aged man surnamed Li twisted his handlebar mustache with one hand and smiled slightly.

"Eldest Miss is joking, how can I say it's a trouble."

"Eldest Miss has such filial piety, Father will definitely be very happy to know."

"It's just that in this Taiyuan area, there might be good horses, but they definitely don't compare to Liangzhou."

"Let's take a look first; maybe there will be something Father likes."

Saying this, the middle-aged man surnamed Li began to scan the surroundings.

"Huh?"

The middle-aged man, after scanning a circle, set his gaze not far away.

There sat a man and a woman.

The man was burly and dressed strangely.

The woman was petite and pretty.

But the middle-aged man's gaze was attracted by a leopard skin in front of the two.

"Mr. Li?"

The gorgeously dressed woman looked at the middle-aged man.

"Eldest Miss, let's go over and take a look."

The middle-aged man pointed.

The woman looked in the direction the middle-aged man was pointing.

Then the two walked over together.

Duan Yu looked at the middle-aged man who walked over and squatted down, and smiled politely.

He had been setting up the stall for almost two hours.

Many people had come to ask for the price.

But Duan Yu didn't know the value of this leopard skin very well.

So most of the time, the price couldn't be agreed upon.

However, Duan Yu wasn't idle either, taking this time to constantly ask Diao Chan about the prices of this era.

Only by understanding the prices of this era could he know the value of his game.

After all, he would have to rely on hunting for a living for a long time in the future.

"Little brother, how much is this leopard skin?" The middle-aged man, after squatting down, first looked at the leopard skin, then looked at Duan Yu, with a smile on his face.

Just by looking at the clothes and attire of the man and woman in front of him, Duan Yu knew that these two were either rich or noble.

And they were accompanied by sword-wielding guards.

Perhaps this deal today would fall on these two.

Listening to the man's inquiry, Duan Yu didn't answer directly, but smiled and said: "You can take a look first, and then give a price."

"Good." The middle-aged man nodded and began to examine the leopard skin.

After a while, the middle-aged man looked at Duan Yu, puzzled.

"Little brother, I see that this leopard skin is extremely complete, without even any scars."

"How did you obtain this leopard skin?" The middle-aged man asked, puzzled. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====
