Chapter 616: Speaking ill of Chu Liuxiang in front of him

Jin Banhua looked at Zhang Xiaolin, and Zhang Xiaolin also looked at Jin Banhua.

Zhang Xiaolin laughed heartily, while Jin Banhua laughed reservedly.

"Since Brother Zhang is the largest ginseng dealer in the Changbai Mountain area, I believe you must have good ginseng in your hands?" Jin Banhua asked.

"Okay, Mr. Jin, how many do you want? What year?" Zhang Xiaolin sat down, drank a glass of wine, and touched the Pai Gow cards.

"My family used to buy medicine from the Ma and Lin families in Guandong, but the old mountain ginseng they have has become worse and worse in recent years. If Brother Zhang has good stuff, I will eat as much as he can."

Jin Banhua asked faintly, "As long as it doesn't affect the relationship between Brother Zhang and the Ma and Lin families."

Zhang Xiaolin's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and laughed, "Ma Chengjie and Lin Sanyou raised the price and angered the Changbai ginseng pickers. Of course, they won't get any good stuff!"

Jin Banhua nodded, "I see. Brother Zhang, please."

Zhang Xiaolin breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but secretly thank Li Hongxiu for her thorough preparation. She not only provided him with Zhang Xiaolin's detailed identity, but also prepared intelligence on the forces in the Changbai Mountain area.

This Zhang Xiaolin is, of course, Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang sat down. Although he had met Jin Banhua a few days ago, Jin Banhua had not seen his appearance, and he was not worried that Jin Banhua could see through the mask that Su Rongrong prepared for him.

But Jin Banhua is a wealthy young man from Beijing. Beijing and Jiangnan are the largest source of customers for Changbai Mountain ginseng, so it is possible that Jin Banhua is familiar with the Changbai Mountain area and might even expose the identity of this "Zhang Xiaolin" who does not actually exist.

Fortunately, Jin Banhua did look like a dandy young man and didn't know much about Changbai Mountain. He just asked a question and believed himself.

Chu Liuxiang started playing Pai Gow with ease, and even had the leisure to talk to Jin Banhua, "Why did Mr. Jin come to Jinan to play when he was not in Beijing to enjoy his fortune?"

Jin Banhua glanced at Chu Liuxiang and said calmly, "I was tricked by that bastard Chu Liuxiang, so I came to Jinan to relax."

Chu Liuxiang, "..."

The thief leaves fragrance at night, and his stepping on the moon breaks people's hearts.

A person's reputation is like the shadow of a tree. Chu Liuxiang's name is well-known even in the upper circles of Jinan. At least as soon as Jin Banhua said this, the atmosphere at the gambling table became three points colder.

Leng Qiuhun, who was entertaining guests nearby, was also startled and asked hurriedly, "Brother Jin, do you have a grudge against Chu Liuxiang?"

"Yeah." Jin Banhua nodded, rolled the dice, and snorted, "The guy who is called the thief general, but to put it bluntly, he is still a robber, stole a white jade beauty from my house."

The owner of Mizhuang asked in shock, "But is it the Jade Beauty, which is known as one of the four treasures of the capital along with the Nine Dragon Cup, the Red Cloud Jade, and the Purple Yang Inkstone?"

"That's right." Jin Banhua nodded and took a deck of cards. "That bastard came to Beijing a few days ago and stole all the four treasures. I heard that he went to Jiangnan and exchanged them for millions of taels of silver to help the elderly, women and children."

Everyone was silent. Although most of them were rich and unkind, they did not dare to openly slander the relief efforts for the elderly, orphans, women and children.

But Jin Banhua seemed very dissatisfied, "He stole my jade beauty and sold it for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. He did good deeds and seemed to not take a penny, so he got a good reputation."

"But!" Jin Banhua turned over the Pai Gow, a long three paired with a winning card, almost the smallest scattered cards.

"That beautiful jade lady is mine! Everyone praises Chu Liuxiang as a chivalrous thief and a master thief, but why does no one care about the victim? Do rich people deserve to be robbed and stolen?"

Jin Banhua threw the Pai Gow back into the center of the gambling table. "Although the Jin family is not a wealthy family, they have never made money in an unscrupulous way. With his reputation as Chu Liuxiang, if he just asks, we can give him three or five hundred thousand taels of silver."

"He, on the other hand, used flowers to pay for Buddha's favor, gained both fame and fortune, showed off his peerless martial arts skills, made his name even more famous, and made the people who actually paid look like clowns, making them the object of ridicule."

Jin Banhua took out another silver note to place a bet and looked at Chu Liuxiang, "Brother Zhang, tell me, is Chu Liuxiang a treacherous, hypocritical and sinister villain?" Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but reached out and touched his nose.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation where someone scolded him in front of him and asked for his opinion. It was indeed a bit embarrassing.

There is certainly some exaggeration in Jin Banhua's words. How could someone who can make it in the business world be a good person?
But the Jin family in the capital also has to save face and has a bottom line in their actions, so they are indeed not bad people.

The reason why he went to the capital to steal treasures was simply because those families, with their financial resources, would not care about those treasures at all, so he did not feel any psychological burden in taking from the rich to make up for the deficiencies.

After listening to the victim's face-to-face confession, it seems that this was indeed ill-considered.

Chu Liuxiang pinched his nose and nodded, wondering if he should go back and spread the word that four great philanthropists from the capital were also contributing money this time?

But he quickly calmed down, because he came here not for Jin Banhua, but for Leng Qiuhun.

So Chu Liuxiang put the matter aside and concentrated on gambling.

But Chu Liuxiang no longer spoke to Jin Banhua, but Jin Banhua did not let Chu Liuxiang go.

"Brother Zhang, please tell me, is Chu Liuxiang a hypocrite?" Jin Banhua asked Chu Liuxiang, "Shouldn't such a person be beaten every time he is seen and his true face be exposed?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes."

"That's what I came out for this time." Jin Banhua said, "Not only do I want to expose his true face, but I also want to take my white jade beauty back from him."

Chu Liuxiang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't he sell the White Jade Beauty?"

"Then I don't care!" Jin Banhua snorted coldly, "It's only natural to pay back a debt. If he can't pay back my Jade Beauty, I will beat him to his knees..."

"Young Master, be careful with your words." Liao Gang reminded him, "I heard that Chu Liuxiang has thousands of incarnations and is very skilled in martial arts..."

"He is a skilled martial artist, and I am not weak either. He just used a trick to lure me out last time, so he was lucky enough to succeed. If we fight head-on, it is still unknown who will win!"

Jin Banhua slammed the table and raised her eyebrows, saying, "I have also been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I have invited dozens of masters to teach me martial arts. Now my martial arts are so extensive and profound that there are few people in the martial arts world. No matter how high Chu Liuxiang's martial arts are, how can he be better than mine?"

Everyone, "..."

Leng Qiuhun coughed twice, smiled and tried to smooth things over, "I've heard that Master Jin loves martial arts, but today we're not competing in martial arts, we're only competing in gambling skills."

"Not bad!"

"Exactly!"

Everyone laughed and continued to dice and draw cards.

Chu Liuxiang thought Jin Banhua was so innocent and interesting, and he regretted teasing him in the capital.

only……

This kind of personality is indeed not suitable for venturing into the world.

Now that this matter is over, I will find an opportunity to persuade him.
