The first person who couldn't hold back was Wu Qianping, who made the appearance of wanting to leave the table: "My yamen still has official business, and when I send Mingyi back, I have to rush to work." I will not be able to stay long today. ”

Xia Huanfeng finally made a move and asked the two to wait: "I'll go get something interesting, don't delay." ”

Wu Qianping and Ming Yi glanced at each other and understood.

When Xia Huanfeng came back, he was holding an inconspicuous rough wooden box in his hand, and there was a wood scar on the outside, which was very dilapidated.

Handed it to Wu Qianping, he retreated and said, "I am an official and cannot accept gifts." ”

Xia Huanfeng said with a smile: "It's not a gift, it's just an interesting thing, it's a nine-in-a-row, I can't play it, so I'll let Brother Qianping take it to study and study, and when it is unraveled, I will return it." ”

Wu Qianping was even more reluctant to accept it when he heard this: "I won't play with these children's things." ”

Mingyi knew that Xia Huanfeng must have something inside, so he pushed Wu Qianping: "Since Huanfeng said it, you can take it to study it, and you can help her." ”

Wu Qianping had to take it, but his hand was reluctant to touch it more, disgusted that the box was dirty.

Mingyi pushed it away again: "Open it and see, how difficult is it?" ”

Wu Qianping opened it and was instantly stunned.

When Ming Yi saw it, he almost exclaimed, and took out the object, his hands trembling slightly.

It is indeed a nine-ring ring, but it is carved from a whole piece of Hetian jade, nine round jade rings, interlocking, when mentioned, the jade strikes, and the sound is crisp. The nine jade rings are exactly the same, warm and white, and flawless. What a huge piece of jade this is, to be able to complete such an extremely expensive and extravagant nine-in-a-row. It can be said that it is invaluable, and it is difficult to estimate.

There is no gap in these nine links, so naturally it cannot be unraveled, so it has become absurd to return it if it is unraveled.

Wu Qianping is not an illiterate person, his eyes can no longer be taken away from the Jiuyu Chain, and he said: "Such a precious, how dare I win people's love." ”

Xia Huanfeng said with a smile: "I said everything about taking love, and I will return it if I untie it." Brother Qianping just played with it. ”

"This object is rare in the world, and I am afraid that if it is damaged in my hands, or stolen, what shall it be?" Wu Qianping rubbed the Nine Jade Ring with both hands, shaking his head and admiring its flawlessness.

"If Shaoyin's Mansion is not safe, my civilian home is even more unsafe, and if there is any damage, this is also its fate. Originally, this natural thing, in whose hands, where it fell, and when it was damaged, were all destined by God, so why feel sorry for it. Xia Huanfeng brought the wooden box that was placed on the side, and it was padded with soft silk to prevent the jade ring from being bruised, "After a while, Lord Shaoyin will rest assured that he will put it on horseback and take it away, and it will not attract attention." ”

Wu Qianping carefully put the Nine Jade Links into the box: "It's better to obey your fate for the sake of your brother, and you will definitely untie the Nine Links as soon as possible." ”

Ming Yi glanced at Xia Huanfeng and said, "Then Brother Lao Qianping will not send me, it is better to go back to Shaoyin Mansion as soon as possible with the Nine Rings to settle down." I still have something to say to Phantom Feng, and she will arrange for me to send it to me. ”

Wu Qianping nodded: "It's better, then I'll take the first step." ”

Sending Wu Qianping away, Ming Yi and Xia Huanfeng returned to the private room, their faces wrinkled: "Why give him such valuable things, I feel sorry for you!" ”

Xia Huanfeng laughed and said, "That thing is indeed valuable, but it's not easy to sell." Don't hide Mingyi, that is the heirloom that flowed out when Xu's silk and satin village raided the house, at that time there were many people, the master fled when he left, was stolen and sold by the unknown servants, no one dared to take it, so it was transferred to my hands. This thing, which has a price but no market, is really sold and is likely to be recognized as a fellow rebel of the Xu family. Wu Qianping may also know the origin of this thing. ”

"Then how dare he take it?" In Mingyi's view, treasures that cannot be realized, no matter how precious they are, are just playthings.

"You don't understand that this kind of extremely miserly person will definitely want to possess such a treasure when he sees it, even if he can't sell it, he is very happy to keep it for view." Xia Huanfeng is confident.

Ming Yi was still unclear: "Since it is a troublemaker, don't you worry about showing it in front of Wu Qianping?" ”

Xia Huanfeng said with a smile: "Just because he knows that he covets this treasure, he will never show it to the outside world, hand me over, and this treasure will have to be handed over, what good is it for him?" Another point, I am willing to take out this, which means that I have spread out the hole cards to him, I am not clean here, he has my handle in his hand, so he is naturally more at ease with me, and he will cooperate with me in the future, so he will have more scruples. ”

Ming Yi took a deep breath: "I am completely convinced by your playing style!" ”

Xia Huanfeng rubbed his shoulders: "Alas, after exposing my shoulders for a long time, I'm afraid that I will get sick when I get old." ”

Ming Yi burst out laughing and remembered a sentence: "One day, you will put back the clothes you took off one by one." ”

"That's nature." Xia Huanfeng didn't care about eating, but now he has only eaten a few bites, "What did you talk to him about before?" You won't come to me for no reason. ”

"Oh, speaking of which, I'm going to trouble Phantom Maple." Mingyi remembered what he talked to Wu Qianping, "He contributed money, and I contributed my efforts to open a shop in Xishi." I'm not familiar with the situation of the store over there, so I don't know what the market is. ”

"It's simple. I'll buy you one next to my Rongyi Fang, and I'll just give you a gift to welcome you into the Shangguan Gang. Xia Huanfeng took a sip.

Ming Yi hurriedly stopped: "No, this is with his money, I can't let you break the bank." It's better to buy it, and then you rent it to me, and I'll pay him back. ”

"Okay, you have the final say on the rent, just as your labor in the gang. The elders and hall masters of our gang are all artificially led, so you don't have to be polite. Xia Huanfeng was half-full, and he was much more comfortable.

Ming Yi calculated the account in her heart, which means that she will be rich and contribute a sum of money in her hands, and the garden will be more abundant, and it will be so comfortable that it will not work. It's just that there is still a doubt, and it is uncomfortable not to ask.

Xia Huanfeng wiped his mouth elegantly: "Now that we are all brothers in the same gang, there is nothing that we can't say and can't ask." Even in the same gang, only Shi Ruoshan and the four elders know my true identity, so you don't have to worry about me. Not to mention that you and I are good friends, you and Hong Yi are sisters, we are a family. ”

Seeing through him, Ming Yi smiled awkwardly: "I'm just afraid that you won't be able to say it." I'm curious why you're so generous, and it seems like you're running out of money. ”

Xia Huanfeng smiled mysteriously: "I do have a lot of money and things here, and some of it belongs to the Shangguan gang." In order to prevent being wiped out by the other party, half of the Shangguan gang's money is in the quality shop, and the other half is in my place, which is used for the operation of Rongyifang and the expansion of the gang's power. The other part is Gong Junhao and Shentu brothers, don't you think it's strange? They just don't want anyone in their gang to know about their origins. I'm kind of a middleman, and sometimes I help them take some things that can't be sold to the black market and make a little difference. ”

Ming Yi listened to it, and there was no need to ask again, he was full of admiration for this person.
