Chapter 312: The Jade Plaque
That afternoon, Ling'er went out with Tang Jiu to buy a bunch of things and came back, such as night clothes, daggers, ropes, whips, small darts, and a lot of other things that were not costumes or weapons.
After coming to this world for so long, Ling'er never knew that there were still these weapons for sale before, or Tang Jiu led the way, she knew that many weapon blacksmith shops had them, but they didn't put them out, and they would take you in to choose them.
Ling'er originally wanted to get a long sword, but that thing was too sharp, and the blades on both sides would easily hurt herself if she didn't make it, so she could only retreat and buy a few extremely sharp daggers.
When she chose a weapon, she also chose a bull tendon whip, which was thick and strong, and it was very good to pick up, and she tried it when she came back, and threw it out with three points, and then she heard the whip with the whirring wind, and split the broken wardrobe in front of her in half with a snap.
Tang Jiu applauded in admiration: "Boss, you are making the whip's kung fu better and better!" ”
Ling'er said proudly: "It's nothing, watch me try a little dart." She felt the dart for a moment, then threw it in the same way as a stone, and with a thud it plunged into the small circle painted on the wall of the courtyard ten meters away.
Tang Jiu's eyes widened: "Boss, are you a martial arts master?" Why is it so powerful? ”
Ling'er is also very happy, she used to hunt with stones in the vast mountains, and she has practiced for ten years, of course, the accurate head is good, but she didn't expect the darts to be more competent, and the accurate head is better when thrown, but she is a little unaccustomed to it, and it seems that she still has to practice.
"Boss, when are we going to do it?"
Ling'er thought for a while: "There's no hurry. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let's hand over this month's silver first, and then see if there is a chance to take someone. If it doesn't work, follow them to the yard and stomp on it.
They have scavenged so much money from you over the years, they can't cheapen them for nothing, and when they are fully prepared to kill those thieves, wouldn't it be even more infuriating to loot all the money? ”
Tang Jiu high-fived and was happy: "Okay, great, that's it." ”
"Brother Jiu, what are you so happy about?" A few people ran in with a smile on their faces. He presented a money bag with both hands: "Brother Jiu, you see, we did another deal today." ”
Tang Jiu looked at Ling'er. I took the money bag and looked at it, and it seemed to have a lot of things inside.
"Brother Jiu, there's a lot of silver, right? Is it enough for us to pay this month? ”
Tang Jiu didn't speak, Ling'er patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "That's enough." Kind words. Don't pickpocket again in the future, in case you encounter a traitor who is entangled, it will be troublesome, go and rest! ”
A few children obediently entered the house to prepare dinner, and Tang Jiu handed the money bag to Ling'er: "Boss, what do you think of this thing?" ”
Ling'er checked it, it was quite weighty. She crouched down on the spot, turned the purse upside down, and fell to the ground. There are a lot of things in it, and there are a few silver ingots. A few silver tickets, and a small jade plaque.
Tang Jiu picked up the silver ticket and began to count the numbers. Ling'er took the palm-sized jade plaque and saw that the word 'Qingyu' was engraved on it.
Qingyu? The maid next to Wen Xuan is also called Qingyu, maybe it's the same name, right? Look at the back, the beautiful Baihua Palace in the middle of the flowers.
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, Tang Jiu raised his head, and was also startled when he saw the sign, and hurriedly called out the kind words to reprimand:
"Shanyan, what do I usually tell you? We don't steal from the poor, we don't steal from the common people, we only steal from the gentlemen, the dignitaries, and the people of the Baihua Palace must not steal, you see the good things you do. ”
Tang Jiu stretched out the jade plaque in front of Shanyan, Shanyan was illiterate, but he recognized the pattern of the flowers, he trembled in fright, scratched his head hard, and he said angrily:
"But Brother Jiu, what we stole is obviously a richly dressed gentleman, didn't you say that the people in the Hundred Flowers Palace are all women? Besides, that man's eyes are so raw, none of us have ever seen them! ”
Tang Jiu looked at Ling'er: "Boss, what should I do?" ”
Ling'er thought for a while: "That's it, it's all stolen, and you can't send it back."
This person's name is Qingyu, not a flower name, and it shouldn't be one of the top ten flower immortals in the Hundred Flowers Palace, maybe ...... It's just an ordinary palace maid, and she doesn't dare to make a big fuss.
Good words, don't go out in the next few days, stay in the yard honestly, so as not to cause trouble, you know? ”
Shanyan didn't like it: "Huh? What are we going to eat if we don't go out? And the silver to be handed over every month......"
"You don't have to worry about this, I and your ninth brother will find a way to deal with the silver, and when you need to buy food and vegetables, come to me and your ninth brother to get the silver, you know?"
Shanyan looked at Tang Jiu, and Tang Jiu said with a straight face: "The boss has said it, do you still dare not listen?" ”
A few of the children left in disagreement.
Ling'er lowered her head and played with the jade card, this is the identity token of the Hundred Flowers Palace? It's quite exquisite, and it's much better than the identity document issued by the government.
"Boss, I'm afraid it's a disaster to leave this thing on my body, or I lost it earlier, right?"
"It doesn't matter, throwing it out will make people find clues, I'll keep it, maybe I can use it when I can." Ling'er put the jade plate into her close-fitting pocket.
"Hey, where did we just go?"
"You said let's go to the yard and step on it first."
"Oh, yes, Tang Jiu, have you ever been to that courtyard? Do you know what is going on in the hospital? ”
"I've been there once or twice, but I only stood at the door for a while, and the guards were a few men with five big and three rough, and we were not allowed to enter the hospital, so there was no way to know the situation inside."
"That'...... Let's start with what you know, tell me about the situation of the thieves and the news you have heard. ”
There are three traffickers, named Gu Da, Chen Laoer, and Zhou Laosan, remembering that ten years ago, those people called Lao Si Lao Wu also had a shopkeeper, and maybe their ranking method is similar to Tang Jiu and them.
In this way, as long as you kill these three, this gang of villains will almost disappear.
According to Tang Jiu, the house of the three people is on the edge of Lianhu Lake, covering an area of hundreds of acres, in addition to the family and nursing home, the three of them also married a lot of women, and gave birth to seven or eight boys and four or five girls.
The girl was not welcomed in that courtyard, and was raised as a maid since she was a child, but the boy was always trained by a few thieves, not to mention that they were not very old, but they were as vicious as their father.
The year before last, Tang Jiu didn't pay enough money on time, Zhou Laosan brought his son and a family to collect the accounts, Zhou Laosan asked his son to punish Tang Jiu, and the kid actually cut Tang Jiu's finger with a knife.
When Tang Jiu said this, Ling'er noticed that he didn't have a little finger on his left hand! Ling'er was shocked, a four or five-year-old child is so ruthless, it must not be a good thing to grow up, but after all, they are still young, and they can deal with the big ones without hesitation, what about the small ones?
She can't do it, and keeping these children will definitely harm the world in the future, and we may not be ruthless when we grow up.
Ling'er thought about it, and felt that she didn't even know the basic situation of the yard, and it seemed that it was too early to think about how to deal with the child now, so it was better to deal with tomorrow first, and find a way to get into the yard to find out the terrain was the most important.
The two discussed several options, and did not go back to rest until late at night. (To be continued......)
