Chapter 67 implicated
'Zhouji Pawnshop' is just one of the thousands of pawnshops in the Martial God World, due to the fierce competition among peers, and the location of this pawnshop is a little remote, resulting in a very bleak business, and now it is beyond its means, and it seems that it will not be able to support it.
Unlike many industries that are willing to sell at sky-high prices, the 'Zhouji Pawnshop' can be bought for only 4,000 taels of silver.
4,000 taels of silver, bought a store with a small area on Taiping Street in Chang'an Imperial City, this price is already beyond imagination, but after many exciting players inspected, they lost interest in this pawnshop.
The reason is simple, the pawnshop deed clearly states that this shop can only be used to open a 'pawnshop', and the execution period is permanent, that is, this shop cannot be used for other transactions at all.
If you buy it, you can only open a pawnshop, and the result of continuing to open a pawnshop is to continue to lose money, who will be interested in such a business that will only lose money and not make money? Over time, this pawnshop has been neglected.
However, others don't know the true value of this 'pawnshop', but Ye Cheng is clear, don't look at the business of this pawnshop, but in the hands of the nPc boss, it has been open for four or five years without going out of business, until it was later acquired by a ruthless man 'Splendid World', and the true price of this pawnshop was reflected.
Ye Cheng walked into the pawnshop and explained his intention to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he immediately went to the boss, and invited Ye Cheng into the inner room for a detailed discussion after a while.
After some not-so-fierce bargaining, the final sale price was set at 4,000 taels, which is also a reserve price acceptable to the nPc boss, even if it is too much, it is impossible to reach a deal.
Ye Cheng took out 4,000 taels of silver on the spot and got the deed of the 'Zhouji Pawnshop'.
The deed is clearly written, this shop can only be used to open a pawnshop, if used to do other properties, will be subject to the confiscation of the deed of serious punishment, the annual rent of this shop is 1000 silver, if it is overdue and cannot be paid, the store will be automatically recycled by the system.
Ye Cheng took out another 1,000 taels of silver and paid the rent for one year.
The pawnshop owner retired, and the shopkeeper took out the bill and showed it to Ye Cheng.
Because of the cold business, Zhou Ji pawnshop didn't even invite a guy, only a boss and a shopkeeper, and now that the boss has left, only the shopkeeper is left.
The shopkeeper was about forty years old, Ye Cheng checked his loyalty, and at 77 points, he was relieved.
If you hand over the store to nPc to take care of, then you must take into account the problem of 'loyalty', when the loyalty is less than 50 points, nPc will become extremely unstable, serious, and defection may occur, and if the loyalty is above 60 points, you can rest assured, as long as the salary is paid on time every month, at least for a year, there is no need to worry about the defection of the volume.
The accounts record the latest pawned items, Wang Damiang pawned a jade hairpin 10 taels, the jade hairpin is worth 13 taels (the remaining period of redemption is 15 days), Li Erhu pawned a kitchen knife for 8 yuan, the kitchen knife is worth 1 tael, (the remaining period of redemption is 0 days). Zhang Laoer pawned the ancestral secret recipe 50 taels, the ancestral secret recipe is worth 100 taels (the remaining period of redemption is 200 days), Li Yujiao pawns a jade bracelet for 20 taels, the jade bracelet is worth 1 tael (fake) (the remaining period of redemption is 0 days), Zhang Xiaoxiao pawns a night pearl for 200 taels, and the night pearl is worth 2 taels (fake)......
The pawn records of the Zhou Ji pawnshop made Ye Cheng, a person who didn't know business, speechless.
It doesn't matter if you take anything, but the fakes received account for at least half of the total, which is too devastating.
This is clearly being cheated by someone......
If you can make money like this, then you can call it a ghost.
Ye Cheng asked the shopkeeper to take the items marked 'fake', and after careful verification, he found that the combined price of all the items exceeded 5,000 taels.
Ye Cheng asked the shopkeeper, "What's the matter with these fakes?" ”
The shopkeeper's face was full of shame, rubbing his hands, and he looked restless.
The shopkeeper's ability is not good.
Ye Cheng had a judgment in his heart.
If you can get these bad debts back, you will undoubtedly make a lot of money, but let alone do it, just thinking about it is a headache.
It's not a penny, so many strokes, how can it be a law? After speaking, the bill is clearly written, and it cannot be redeemed after the deadline, and this item will belong to the Zhouji pawnshop for its own disposal.
If people don't come to collect them, they can't ask for these accounts at all.
Only, who will take the fake?
Ye Cheng called the shopkeeper and went to the treasury together.
Don't look at the cold business of the Zhouji pawnshop, but it has been accumulated over the years, and the items collected are also a large number.
The backlog of bad debts in the weekly pawnshop is wonderful, the longest pawn record has exceeded 30 years, and many items are even broken and rotten, and no one comes to pick them up......
Ye Cheng naturally didn't care about those rotten items, and ordered the shopkeeper to destroy them all, anyway, these things have no value, and they will take up space in the warehouse.
Ye Cheng carefully searched through a pile of unclaimed items, and soon, he found what he wanted.
A palm-sized bronze medal.
The bronze medal is extremely heavy, with a flying eagle carved on the back, a small Zhao character written below, and a large character 'catch' engraved on the quaint pattern on the front.
Ordinary people don't understand what this is, but Ye Cheng knows that this is the Eagle Guard waist card in the 'Six Doors', and the value of this thing is not something that money can measure at all.
"Zhao Wuyang pawn bronze medal 3 taels, waist card worth 3 taels, due to the special nature of this thing, the two parties agreed that there is no limit that cannot be redeemed after the deadline, but if the redemption period is exceeded, the ransom will be increased by ten times, the redemption period of this thing is three days, and now it has passed 100 days......"
The shopkeeper read out the pawn records related to the bronze medal, Ye Cheng smiled slightly, and unceremoniously put the bronze medal into his baggage.
What is Six Doors Eagle Guard? That's the fast catch in the fast, specifically responsible for the collection of Jiangyang thieves, all of whom are strong in martial arts.
In the world of the Martial God, players can choose to be a catcher, and as long as the requirements are met, it is not difficult to catch fast, at most you can work hard, but if you want to be a six-door catcher, it is not so easy.
The reason is very simple, when the six doors are fast, not only does it require high martial arts, but also a series of harsh conditions.
For example, it is very difficult for you to catch a few famous Jiangyang thieves, let you solve a few famous suspense cases, etc., so in the two years that the Martial God World has been opened, there is no player who can be the catcher of the six doors.
But if there's a waist card, that's a different story.
The nPc Eagle Catcher inside the six doors, most of them have been cultivated since childhood, and in order to maintain the mystery of their identity, they almost never look at people with their true faces, and the Eagle Hunting Waist Card is their identity proof, to put it mildly, as long as you hold this waist card, anyone can instantly become a 'Eagle Guard'.
Ye Cheng got the waist card, then he is the fast catcher of the six doors, of course, if he wants to implement this fast catcher identity, he still needs to go to a mysterious place to report.
Ye Cheng dared to take away the waist card because he knew that Zhao Wuyang, the owner of this waist card, would not come back at all.
Eagle Guard Zhao Wuyang was imprisoned at Blackwood Cliff until six years later, when he was tortured to death.
The arrest of the six doors is about to die, if there is a peer report, the waist card will be canceled after verification, but since Zhao Wuyang is not dead yet, no one knows about being imprisoned in Heimu Cliff, so no one knows his whereabouts yet, and his waist card is naturally not canceled.
One of the reasons why Ye Cheng bought the Zhouji pawnshop was for this waist card.
Think about the ruthless man 'Splendid World' in his previous life, he used this method to get Zhao Wuyang's waist card, and the benefits he got were so many that many players were dumbfounded.
Ye Cheng continued to search among the items, and soon found another item, a broken heart-shaped jade pendant.
Qin Yun pawned 30 taels of broken jade, and the value of the broken jade was 50 taels, and the two parties agreed to redeem it in March, and now it has been 100 days.
Again, this is an ownerless thing.
Ye Cheng put the heart-shaped jade pendant into the baggage, and put away the certificate signed by Qin Yun, and ordered the shopkeeper to put all the items back in their place.
Before leaving, Ye Cheng ordered that no items worth more than 50 taels would be accepted.
If you want to go to the pawnshop, the business is booming, and it is a good way to change the shopkeeper, but Ye Cheng is worried that if the shopkeeper is replaced, he will not be able to trigger something in the future, so he can only set a limit to minimize the loss.
This time, Ye Cheng didn't have to hide his face and walk, he swaggered down the street, and he had no scruples.
Soon, two arresters targeted him, his wanted notice in Chang'an City has not been canceled, such a blatant swagger, it is strange that he does not attract the government.
Ye Cheng walked into an alley and waited, and when the two catchers followed, he walked in front of him, took out Zhao Wuyang's Eagle Guard Waist Card, and showed them it.
"It turned out to be an adult of the six doors, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
The two catchers were sincerely frightened, and they were extremely in awe of Ye Cheng, where did they still look like they wanted to arrest people?
"A few days ago, I used another identity to handle the case, and I was accidentally framed, and I wanted to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, but you all found it, so do me a small favor and withdraw that wanted copy."
"The adults command, the villain doesn't dare to disobey!"
The two catchers nodded quickly and ran away, and it didn't take half an hour for Ye Cheng's wanted warrant to be canceled.
What is fairness? What is justice? The yamen is open six times, and there is no reason to come in without money!
Ye Cheng came to the Chang'an Mansion and handed Zhao Wuyang's waist card to the master to watch.
If you want to make the waist card of the 'Eagle Guard' take effect, you must 'register' the certification with the government every six months, if you don't 'register' for half a year, the waist card will become 'inactive', it's okay to fool a small catch, but in the face of real dignitaries, this thing will not work.
Soon, Ye Cheng's Eagle Guard identity was successfully verified, and he left the mansion and went to another place, the mansion of the prime minister.
The mutilated jade pendant came in handy here, it turned out that this jade pendant was the ancestral heirloom of Lord Xiangguo, although its value was not high, but it had a special meaning in it, but it was suddenly lost more than ten years ago, and it was not available after many searches, and now it appeared out of thin air, how could he not like it?
Ye Cheng's Eagle Guard status has been rewarded with a 'reward bonus' here, not only receiving a reward of one hundred taels of gold, but also being promoted to one level.
Eagle Guard is promoted, that is, the Eagle Guard is in charge, and he has the right to make the Eagle Guard, and the power is much greater than before.
This was definitely a surprise for Ye Cheng, he only knew that the mutilated jade pendant was the prime minister's beloved thing, but he didn't know that he had an official position, and he could also get a 'reward bonus'.
One tael of gold is a hundred taels of silver, and one hundred taels of gold is ten thousand taels of silver!
This is just the beginning, Ye Cheng even earned back all the investment in buying shops with interest.
The golden achievement box pops up, and "Daily Progress" is achieved, increasing fame by 5 points and experience points by 5,000 points!
Ye Cheng went to the auction house, originally wanting to buy the "One Page Knife Technique", but when he thought that the One Page Knife Technique had already been bought, he pounced.
Ye Cheng was a little helpless, this is the embarrassment when he has no money, he has no money when he wants to buy it, and he has no goods when he has money......
Except for the one-page knife technique, Ye Cheng couldn't see the other knife techniques.
"Blood Knife Sutra" is also a good knife technique, but unfortunately it has to be cultivated both internally and externally to achieve success, and Ye Cheng has no interest in the internal strength of the knife method.
While browsing the classification of cheats, Ye Cheng accidentally saw a copy of "Nameless Sword Fragments" that cost only 3 taels.
Ye Cheng's eyes lit up, and he bought it without the slightest hesitation.
"Nameless Swordsmanship Fragments", there is no clear statement on it whether the type is martial arts or peerlessness, and you can't directly learn the swordsmanship recorded in it when you open the cheats, and you can only see four not very coherent character graphics.
Like this inexplicable swordsmanship, many players don't understand its use, can you see it or not, what is the use?
Ye Cheng, who has memories of the next seven years, of course recognizes this thing, and what is recorded in the "Fragments of Nameless Swordsmanship" is indeed a profound swordsmanship, but because it is too incomplete, it is similar to the naked girl picture of "Northern Spiritual Skill" collected by Ning Wangfu, and it has completely become a waste product.
Even if you study the "Fragments of the Nameless Swordsmanship" with the strength of not admitting defeat, you won't learn anything in the end, because this is not a complete swordsmanship at all, and compared with the complete swordsmanship, it is not even one thousandth.
This fragment is just an item that triggers the story, and it will be useful when the player holds the fragment and finds a specific plot character.
The plot character corresponding to this fragment is the hero who taught Gu Chong's "Dugu Nine Swords", and if the player can find him with this fragment, he can learn a martial art from him.
Of course, even if you find it, you can't learn "Dugu Nine Swords" 100%, and there is also an element of luck in it.
Ye Cheng browsed through the other categories, found several 'profitable' items, bought them at a low price, and sold them at a high price.
When Ye Cheng was about to leave the auction house, he unexpectedly saw 'a little woman' Xia Yuxin walking in with a depressed expression.
Xia Yuxin lowered her head, looking very unhappy, and stood at the window of the auction house in a daze for a long time, not even noticing Ye Cheng, who was close at hand.
Ye Cheng shook his hand in front of her eyes twice, Xia Yuxin came back to her senses, and when she saw that it was Ye Cheng, she was stunned at first, and then smiled charmingly: "Little Yezi, what's the matter...... Are you here to sell it too? ”
"Selling ......"
As long as this woman talks to Ye Cheng, there must be something in her words, and there is a special meaning.
Ye Cheng asked: "My sister-in-law doesn't make money in Yangzhou, what are you doing in Chang'an?" ”
"Hey, the business of the brothel is not good, and my sister-in-law has no customers."
Xia Yuxin stretched as she spoke, looking at him with a pair of weird big eyes.
Ye Cheng was speechless, this woman is really good enough, dignified and generous in front of others, more ladylike than a lady, but why is she so coquettish and debauched in front of herself?
"Xiao Yezi, why don't you come and be your sister-in-law's guest?"
Xia Yuxin took a finger into her mouth, shook her little head gently, and looked at him sweetly.
Ye Cheng was completely defeated by her, and he couldn't say a word, so he shook his head helplessly.
Xia Yuxin looked at Ye Cheng's embarrassed appearance, smiled, and waved her hand: "Forget it, don't joke, hey, don't mention it, your sister-in-law and I are a tragedy this time." ”
"What's wrong?"
"A few days ago, there was a secret story in Yangzhou Lichun Courtyard, do you know?"
Ye Cheng nodded.
"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me, but after the secret incident in the rivers and lakes, many people went to inquire about the news, you said that you just need to inquire about those nPcs, why are you chasing me and not letting go......"
Xia Yuxin pouted, looking aggrieved.
She is indeed very aggrieved, the secret incident of the rivers and lakes has nothing to do with her, but the players who are excited about the 'Cold Moon Treasure Knife', where will they listen to her explanation?
You work in a brothel, so you must also know what happened that day, this is what many players think of Xia Yuxin, so many people went to her and asked her for news, of course, it is unknown whether there are players with other purposes.
At first, Xia Yuxin didn't feel anything, but after a long time, she became a little helpless.
Through analysis and argumentation, many players actually decided that she took the 'Cold Moon Treasure Knife', because she was the only player working in Lichun Courtyard.
Because of this misunderstanding, Xia Yuxin was killed seven or eight times by Qiang, and it didn't matter to her that the attribute dropped points, but she was too weak to work, which made her lose her job.
Xia Yuxin said angrily: "That nPc old bustard actually said that I was in trouble, and what else did I say, unless I was willing to pick up customers, I could stay, otherwise I would get out immediately, I was so angry that I slammed a pot lid on her head......"
lost her job, her salary was naturally gone, and because of Xia Yuxin's bad beating behavior, nPc bustard reported to the official, and she was fined again, and she was also sentenced to not appear in Yangzhou City for a month.
Ye Cheng couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, he was fined for a month and couldn't enter the city, such a serious punishment, are you sure that he really only hit a pot? I guess the old bustard lost half his life......
Xia Yuxin looked at Ye Cheng affectionately: "Xiao Yezi, my sister-in-law has no job again, why don't you take care of me, I can be your obedient little secretary, the secretary will do it during the day, and ...... at night."
