Seeing that the shopkeeper was very sure, Ji Yanning pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, money is not a problem, but things must be satisfied." ”

The shopkeeper saw Ji Yanning's such a generous appearance, and smiled even more flatteringly.

He stepped forward and said, "This deposit costs a hundred taels of silver." ”

Pearl was even more reluctant: "Why is your store like this, we haven't seen anything yet, you just ask for such an expensive price, and you need a deposit of one hundred taels, it's too much!"

The shopkeeper said: "Our Yao Ji has always had a good reputation, if the guest officers can't do it, you can ask this person who often comes to the store, they will definitely know." What's more, the business of our shop is not bad, so we will not cheat the guest officer for a hundred taels of silver. ”

Ji Yanning opened his mouth and said, "After paying the deposit, when can we get such a lantern?" We don't have much time in Liangzhou City, and we don't like to delay for too long. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Since it is customized, it must take some time, no matter how you say it, it will take five or six days." ”

"I'll come over five days later to get something. Ji Yanning spoke, and she looked at the pearl.

When Pearl heard her eldest lady say this, she must have asked for the lantern, she glanced at the shopkeeper with some impatience, but still took out her money bag and paid a deposit of one hundred taels.

Seeing that Ji Yanning was a rich lady who was not short of money, the shopkeeper said diligently: "Don't worry, you will definitely be satisfied." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill around him, and when he looked up, he was facing Rong Che's cold eyes again, and the smile on his face suddenly froze.

The shopkeeper asked curtly: "I don't know where the two of you live, if there is a finished product, our shop can also inform the two guest officers." ”

Ji Yanning said: "Just send it to Yuan'an Inn, my surname is Ji." ”

"Okay, Miss Ji just wait. The shopkeeper said.

Ji Yanning and Rong Che walked out of the lantern shop.

Out of the shop, Pearl stepped forward and said to Ji Yanning: "Miss, that lantern is really good-looking, but it doesn't have to be, the slave feels that the lantern is more than this price." What's more, the shopkeeper is weird. ”

Ji Yanning said: "It's okay, I just want that lantern." ”

In her consciousness, she just wanted the lantern.

Since they all said that this Yao Ji lantern had a good reputation and business had always been very good, she wanted to see what was so special about this lantern worth a thousand taels.

The group waited back to the inn to rest, and when they came back, Jinhe had already returned from the yamen.

"Miss Hui, the case you asked your subordinates to investigate today, the man committed suicide. Jinhe said.

Hearing Jinhe's words, Ji Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling a little incredulous: "Committed suicide?"

Jinhe bowed his head: "According to the inspection in the yamen, it is indeed suicide." And the lantern that the young lady said, the subordinates did not find it. ”

He explained the matter in detail to Ji Yanning.

This person's name is Zhao Gui, he is a businessman, and his family is wealthy, but in the past two years, I don't know what went wrong, his shop has lost a lot of money, and he has become more and more overstretched.

After Zhao Gui's business failed miserably, his temperament became more and more terrifying, so the people in his family didn't dare to care about him.

I didn't expect to die today, and I died in a daze.

Ji Yanning frowned, but when he thought that the lantern was not cheap, even if it was taken away, it was reasonable.

When Pearl heard Jinhe say this, a thought suddenly flashed in her heart, and she said curtly: "He can't think of committing suicide publicly because I broke the lantern, right?"

She was a little apprehensive in her heart, anyway, it was indeed her who broke the lantern worth a thousand taels.

Ji Yanning looked at the pearl and said, "Don't think about it, it's just a lantern, how can it be so easy for people to seek death?"

Pearl thought for a moment and nodded, "That's right." ”

Although Zhao Gui's matter is strange, it is not within the scope of Ji Yanning and Rong Cheguan, not to mention that it is still suicide, and there is no need to continue to investigate it carefully.

Rong Che was still staring at the things in Zhuangzi, but he found out that the owner of this Zhuangzi was surnamed Yao and his name was Yao Yun.

But it is impossible to resell this Zhuangzi no matter what.

I originally thought that I could complete this matter after coming to Liangzhou for a few days and then return to Chang'an, but I didn't expect that the problem in this Zhuangzi was a little tricky.

To Ji Yanning's surprise, the shopkeeper of the lantern shop came to the inn in person the next day to find her.

Along with the shopkeeper came a man who looked to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a dark green robe, with a square face and bright eyes.

Seeing Ji Yanning coming down from upstairs, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss Ji!"

Ji Yanning looked at the shopkeeper of the lantern shop and frowned slightly: "What's the matter, the lantern is ready?"

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "Actually, we are here to refund the deposit." ”

"Yesterday, I promised to do a good job, saying how powerful your shop is, and I didn't blink my eyes when I received the deposit. Why do you think you can't do it now, you're fooling us?" Pearl was also a little displeased when she heard the shopkeeper's words.

She had long seen that the shopkeeper was a little unpleasant.

When the shopkeeper heard Pearl's words, he said, "This is our negligence, so our proprietor has come to make amends to Miss Ji." ”

Ji Yanning had already walked down the stairs and looked at the man who was pointing past in the shopkeeper's hand.

The man in the dark green robe stepped forward and arched his hand: "I am the owner of Yao Ji's lantern shop, Yao Yun." I'm really sorry for Miss Ji's custom lanterns, and I can't accept the girl's list. ”

Ji Yanning glanced at Yao Yun who was standing in front of him.

"Are you Yao Yun?" asked Ji Yanning.

Yao Yun was a little surprised and a little puzzled when he heard Ji Yanning's question: "Does the girl know me?"

Ji Yanning said: "You don't want the lantern, but I want a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, I heard that it is a Zhuangzi in your name, I don't know if you can transfer it to me?" ”

Money is really not an issue for her.

"Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city?" Yao Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he said, "Yao Mou has only one Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, but that Zhuangzi is used by our shop to make lanterns, and the feng shui is good. ”

When Ji Yanning heard Yao Yun's words, he said: "I said it, money is not a problem, and I can do without lanterns, but this Zhuangzi, whether you agree with it or not, can only be mine." ”

On this issue, she did not want to concede half a point at all.
