Chapter 171 - 107: Mixing the Fake with the Real, Stone to Gold
Linhai River Transport was extensive, merchants coming and going like ants, so naturally the profession of the helmsman was indispensable.
This merchant before Xu Qing had drowned during the journey with the helmsman.
But it wasn’t an accidental fall into the water.
Xu Qing was not interested in how the merchant made his fortune, hoarded goods, and profited through deception. He only wanted to end this tedious slideshow quickly and receive the reward.
As the Sutra of Salvation flipped pages, the scenes from the merchant’s life rewound, in a blink reaching three days ago.
The merchant’s name was Zheng Deli, a sly character who made a fortune through deception and swindling.
His principle for doing business was ’proper appearance’.
As the saying goes, people rely on clothing, and gods rely on golden attire.
To do business with others, and buy their goods on credit, you must look wealthy!
Thus, Zheng Deli wore a cherished long-held brocade robe, making himself look like a wealthy merchant.
Only by doing so could he, at the wharf, use his eloquent tongue to get more credit on goods.
