On a boat in the Bian River, a candle was lit in the cabin, which was brightly lit. Six or seven men gathered inside, shouting and gambling.

A big man with a beard threw it out, looked at the three copper coins on the ground and shouted "Okay".

After collecting a pile of copper coins on the ground, the man said to Peng Xinshu on the side: "Does of copper coins at a time are really unhappy. Mr. Peng, you are willing to pay 50 jin of money with a knife, but you are so stingy!"

Peng Xinshu's face did not change his color and said lightly: "It's just a long night, and I'm playing some small games to pass the time. No matter how much money I have, I'll earn it with hard work, not by the strong wind. If I lose a few copper coins, how can I support my family?"

The bent man spat: "We businessmen, whether they make money or not depends on whether God gives you this food. Even if you accumulate carefully, how much money can you save? Tonight, you will win or lose, and it's just a little more business and do less!"

Peng Xinshu didn't answer, took out ten copper coins and counted them, put them on the ground to make a blocking bet.

The bearded man sighed and looked at everyone and said, "This time I went to Yongcheng to do this business is really bad. The cow is there and I can't collect money. I asked a few people to gamble, but none of them were happy. I was willing to bet with dozens and eight copper coins!"

On the one hand, someone said: "Insider, our small business is a big money, one or two dollars a night. How can you compare your family's great business? Besides, this is on the edge of the county town, where people gather to gamble and don't be afraid of attracting people from the government? Just play and pass the time."

When Shi Yuanwai heard this, he laughed: "What a lie, you are willing to bet on money, and the government will care about these things!"

While there were many troubles, a servant arrived at the warehouse, went to Peng Xinshu and whispered: "Mr. Insider, the county chief Dong held a knife and was on our boat. The young sergeant went out, so he asked me to come and find him."

After hearing this, Peng Xinshu hurriedly stood up and said, "He just said that there is a good knife sold in the county to me, so he brought it with me. You bet on this hand once for me, and if you lose, you will go back to the boat. If you win, you will get the money to buy a bowl of wine."

The servant agreed happily, sat down in Peng Xinshu's seat, and looked at the ten copper coins in front of him excitedly.

Peng Xinshu shook his head, ignored the servant, and walked out of the cabin. He walked up the shore and returned to his own boat. He saw Chairman Dong sitting there drinking tea. He put a knife next to him, and looked at the scabbard that was very simple, not like a treasure.

After coming forward to meet the guests and the guest and the host sat down. Peng Xinshu glanced at the knife on the table and asked casually: "Is this the good knife the chief clerk said?"

After seeing Peng Xinshu's expression, Chairman Dong didn't know what it meant. He hurriedly said, "Don't look at the bad scabbard, so he underestimated the knife. This is an official office, and the scabbard is naturally a bit simpler, but the knife is made of good steel."

As he said that, he picked up the knife on the table and handed it to Peng Xinshu: "The official is looking at the knife."

Peng Xinshu took the knife in his hand and inserted it out, and couldn't help but be surprised. The knife looked cold, but there was no oil or a trace of rust. Needless to ask, it was just made. Could it be that this county has good steel and specially sold it to himself?

I touched it with my hands, and the blade was smooth and a little astringent. I couldn't help but say to Chairman Dong: "Chief, the blade is still hot. Could it be just made? And the knife is not oiled. If it were an old knife, wouldn't it be stainless?"

Chairman Dong felt a little embarrassed: "I'm not hiding the official's wife, it's just made. The county has prepared good steel, but it has never been useful. I heard that the official's wife loves knives and specially made treasure knives for some cash."

Peng Xinshu nodded and looked at the knife carefully. He is an expert in iron business. Although this knife is a bit simple, it uses even steel and there is no flaw in the entire blade body. This is a very rare thing. Just because of the use of steel in such a particular way, this knife is expensive.

After looking carefully, Peng Xinshu said to Chairman Dong: "It's really good to have a knife, but I don't know whether it's better or worse."

Chairman Dong breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Even if you test the knife! If you don't say too much, you can always cut off the knife with three or five copper coins!"

Peng Xinshu smiled and said, "Why do you need to cut copper coins? I have seen so many good knives in my life. Just looking at the appearance of this knives, you know that using this knives to cut copper coins is just a trivial matter. Yesterday, I took a knife at the dock and came back to take a closer look. It was about the same as the saber used by the imperial guards. If this knives could break the knife, it would definitely be a treasure knife. What does the chief clerk think?"

Chairman Dong was startled and hesitated. When Peng Xinshu bought the knife, he looked at it. It felt similar to Chai Xin's feeling, and it was really as sharp as mud. Can the knife Du Zhongxiao made overnight compare to that kind of treasure knife?

Seeing that Chairman Dong was embarrassed, Peng Xinshu didn't speak, but just quietly stroked the blade. Fifty-spot bought the knife because he didn't want to make a grudge with the local dragon and snake, and he wanted to pay the protection fee. In fact, the knife was not worth fifty-spot. He knew that the knife seller knew it well. If he knew that Du Zhongxiao had just cleaned the heroes of Yongcheng County not long ago, he would never have paid the 50-spot money.

After hesitating for a long time, Chairman Dong remembered that there were still twenty or thirty such knives in the county, and finally made up his mind and focused on it: "Please give me some advice!"

"Okay!" Unexpectedly, Chairman Dong could agree on the spot. Peng Xinshu couldn't help but feel a little excited and grew up. Originally, Chairman Dong had to go back to discuss the same as he had come to him the previous time.

He went to the back and took the knife that had been 50 stakes the day before yesterday and pulled it out in his hand. Peng Xinshu called a servant and asked him to hold the knife in his hand.

He picked up the knife brought by Chairman Dong, and Peng Xinshu looked at it for a long time. He took a deep breath and said to the servant holding the knife: "Hold the knife firmly and don't move at all. I'll try which knife is hard! The sword is the treasure!"

After saying that, he made a gesture to chop. On the other hand, Chairman Dong was so scared that his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Prince, please wait! - It's better to just chop it lightly than just a knife. Why do you need to use all your strength?"

Peng Xinshu took back his posture and asked the chief clerk Dong: "How much does the chief clerk want to sell this knife?"

Chairman Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "It is not lower than the price of this knife, it is better to have more than fifty taels of money."

Peng Xinshu laughed when he heard this: "The chief clerk is not thinking too much. I paid 50 guan for that knife because I was betting against someone. Fifty guan was a bet. If I bought a knife normally, it would be at most twenty guan, and there would be no more. If the chief clerk could intersect with that knife without hurting it, it would be worth the 50 guan."

Chairman Dong didn't know what to say for a moment, so he had to do it again. The batch of knives was to sell the cow and iron for the payment, and it was really a bit reluctant. After thinking about it, Chairman Dong could only sigh: "Expert test the knife!"

Peng Xinshu stopped talking, held the knife in his hand, took a deep breath, shouted suddenly, and slapped the knife and slashed the other knife.

Chairman Dong felt a flash of cold light, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling uneasy. The servant who stood on Peng Xinshu with a knife could not resist Peng Xinshu's divine power, and staggered and almost fell to the ground.
