Chapter 90: What the Heavenly Dao Lacks (Ask for Subscription!)
"Little brother, is your shopkeeper here?"
Gu Cheng had just hung up the birdcage when a timid voice came from behind him.
He turned and saw a poor helpless child, standing not far away.
Han Lingsha's face was dirty, her hair was unkempt, and at first glance she couldn't even distinguish between men and women, it was exactly the appearance of a beggar.
Seeing the young man's black and white eyes looking over, Han Lingsha brewed his emotions for a while, and said in a low voice: "Little brother, my family lives on the shore of Yunmeng Lake in Qingzhou, and I have been displaced ......here because of the disaster of water bandits."
"Go find a job and be self-reliant!"
Halfway through her words, a piece of broken silver landed on the palm of her hand.
"Listen to what people have to say!"
Han Lingsha's face collapsed slightly, and her face turned red.
The productivity of the Xianwu world is not comparable to the ordinary, although the Jiang country is declining now, it still belongs to the rich country and the strong people, and there are very few beggars.
In other words, those who beg either really like to work hard or have some other reason.
Han Lingsha felt a little proud in her heart, and felt that she had to learn from her elders and be a chivalrous woman who robbed the rich and helped the poor, how could she really beg.
However, the situation is stronger than people, the little heroine held back, squeezed out a trace of embarrassment and polite smile, and handed back the broken silver: "I just want to be self-reliant, little brother, don't look at my young age, I can palm!"
Palm eye, that is, the identification and screening of antique treasures.
Pawnshops also have times when they are deceived and are used by people to use illusions and shoddy, so every pawnshop has a palm-eyed master who can detect subtle mana fluctuations, investigate illusions, and identify authenticity.
The skill of the palm master and the adequacy of funds are the key to measuring a pawn shop, and the others are trivial.
Han Ling yarn has the Han family's handicraft, the magic hands are empty, the feng shui points are not only able to steal treasures, but also to appreciate treasures, although the knowledge is certainly not as good as the master of the big pawnshop, but this Yongan pawnshop is so deserted, she is confident that she can still be competent.
"Oh?"
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at the little beggar who was not good-looking: "I see, you do have a relationship with the pawnshop, come in!"
Han Lingsha followed him inside, and her first impression was shabby.
There is not even a tribute from the Shang Sheng, how poor does this be......
But that's good, anyway, she doesn't really beg for a living, as long as she avoids this peak period, she can leave Yuzhou City safely and embark on the road of seeking immortals.
"I'm smart with my hands and feet, I can do any chores, and I can enjoy food!"
In view of this, when she came to the main hall, Han Lingsha took the initiative to lower her standards.
"That's too condescending. ”
Gu Cheng sat down and took out a contract: "Yongan Pawnshop does have one assistant and one palm, if you can spend a year of probation, you can become the palm eye here." ”
Han Lingsha was stunned: "Little brother, can you call the shots?"
"I'm the shopkeeper. ”
Gu Chengdao: "You can also call me the boss." ”
"No wonder the tone is so crazy, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you were the largest Shengyu pawnshop in Yuzhou!"
Han Lingsha finally understood that she was a child who didn't understand anything, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Is there a more suitable hiding place than this?
"Thank you!"
Han Lingsha nodded again and again, took the contract, glanced at it, and raised her brows slightly.
There is no time limit, no salary, and no official prints, which is a black market contract.
She pressed the ink and pressed it down.
The formal contract is not a piece of paper, but also the breath of both parties, not only is it difficult to repent, once the traitor is on the wanted list, you can recover the breath, and the experience of the prisoner will be clear.
Han Lingsha was going to use the secret treasure to change the breath, but now that the contract is fake, why not save the steps directly?
But with the press of the thumb, the words on the contract suddenly turned into a streamer, submerged into the body, and disappeared.
"It's ......"
Han Lingsha's little face changed, but Gu Cheng had already Shi Shiran got up and walked to the backyard: "Come on, wash up, from today onwards, you don't have to sleep on the streets anymore." ”
After a while, a little girl with a beautiful demeanor, a slender waist and picturesque eyebrows replaced the dirty little beggar, and the whole room was bright.
"Boss, what are you betting on in the shop now, let me take charge of it?"
Han Lingsha didn't care about the smelly beauty, thinking of the change in the contract just now, her heart was full of uneasiness, and she made tentative words.
This can't be a black shop, right, I followed my family to the rivers and lakes since I was a child, and capsized in the gutter?
"Don't worry, you'll be busy. ”
Gu Cheng smiled and looked outside: "Look, isn't the business coming to the door?"
The words fell, the door of the pawnshop opened, and a rickety figure slowly walked in.
"Huh, isn't this the Qiu manager of the Yuzhou Commercial Bank?"
When the old man walked into the main hall, Han Lingsha was surprised to find that it was a well-known figure in the business community of Yuzhou.
This experience can be called legendary, childhood family poverty, humble status, starting from a small guy, only 20 years, became the manager of the largest commercial house in Yuzhou, not only trusted by the owner, quite powerful, but also rich party, as if becoming a rich gentry.
When such a character knelt down in front of the long table with a puff, Han Lingsha felt incredible.
What's going on?
"Boss, in the past, I had a sworn brother, who failed in business, was disheartened, and gave me family wealth, but his son misunderstood and harmed me!"
Steward Qiu's clothes were tattered, his body was bruised, and he begged loudly: "Now that I have been kicked out by the owner, and my family property has been confiscated by the government, I beg the boss to save me again!"
Gu Cheng spread out a new contract: "What do you want to pawn this time?"
Steward Qiu had obviously made up his mind: "As long as I can get back my property, my eyes, my hands, my lifespan, my talent, whatever it is!"
Gu Cheng looked at him and said: "You still have twelve years of life, no matter how rich you are, you live on the streets, and become a beggar, now you want to get your property back, no matter what you pay, it is not enough." ”
Steward Qiu's body trembled.
Gu Cheng said again: "You don't have a pawn yourself, but your closest relatives do, your son who worshiped the Jade Gate......"
Halfway through the words, Steward Qiu was already discolored: "I have worked hard for him all these years, and I expect to be successful in cultivating immortals, no matter how extraordinary it is, no, absolutely not!"
Gu Chengdao: "Since this is the case, there is no other way!"
"When I came, I had already written a secret letter to the Embroidered Imperial Historian, revealing the reason for their previous defeat!"
Steward Qiu trembled and jumped up: "I don't care if you are a master in the world or a demonic monster, if you don't help me, just wait for the revenge of the embroidered imperial history!"
Gu Cheng waved his hand, unmoved.
"You!"
The threat failed, Steward Qiu's face changed several times, and he fell down again, and kowtowed: "Ask the boss to help me again, it doesn't matter if I have no family wealth, the talent of the dog is not outstanding, and he can enter the Jasper Gate, which is the result of my annual supply of a large amount of elixir, and now once he returns to his original form, he can't stay in the Jasper Gate!"
Gu Cheng's face was expressionless, Han Lingsha couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "Steward Qiu does good deeds and accumulates virtue on weekdays, ten years ago in the Qingzhou flood, he also relieved the victims, he is a great benevolent person, boss, if you have the ability, help him!"
She also figured it out, this young man is probably a hidden master, but the rules are too weird, people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to the road when they see injustice, draw a knife to help, and don't want to repay the favor, this one is almost taking advantage of the fire to rob.
Han Lingsha also knew that she had just come and was not qualified, but she couldn't bear to see that Steward Qiu was so old and still groveling.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Steward Qiu was not only not grateful, but his face changed miserably.
"Since you want to palm your eyes, let's start with the arithmetic talent he pawned last time!"
Gu Cheng stretched out his hand, and in the wooden cabinet not far away, a crystal bottle flew over and landed on the long table.
The bottle cap was turned up, and a phantom appeared inside constantly fiddling with the abacus, muttering to himself: "Taking advantage of the flood, this batch of hoarded materials can earn a few profits, it really makes me look forward to it, hehe, this month's supply to the plate, there can be more!"
"What?"
Han Lingsha was stunned, she couldn't believe her ears.
Steward Qiu's reputation has always been good, this time against the embroidered royal history, there are also many people in the rivers and lakes openly and secretly help each other, it is precisely because he has always done good, ten years ago when the flood, it was to help tens of thousands of victims, for a while it was a beautiful talk.
Unexpectedly, behind the disaster relief, it was the mercenary hoarding of materials and the oppression of the victims.
The victims of the disaster will be so miserable, and it is because of his strength that he is grateful to him and gains fame and fortune.
"Shameless old thief!"
The little chivalrous girl with a full sense of justice suddenly broke out, pointed at Steward Qiu's nose and scolded: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, God has eyes, you will end up where you are now, and you still want to go home to wealth?"
After scolding, she still didn't understand her hatred, she rushed forward with her small body, kicked it directly, and kicked Steward Qiu to the ground.
"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end, I have nothing to say, just pity my son, pity my son!"
Steward Qiu was discouraged, staggered up, and walked out.
"His fate has nothing to do with God, don't impose your own morality. ”
Seeing his back disappear, Han Lingsha was relieved, and only felt that the sadness in his chest in the past few days had been expressed, but Gu Cheng said: "For heaven and earth, even if it is gods and demons, it is just to balance the turbid race, small good and small evil, it has nothing to do with the overall situation of the Six Realms, and it will not be included in the Heavenly Dao, so it may not be repaid for evil, and good deeds will not be fruitful......"
Han Lingsha flattened her mouth and didn't believe it: "You're not God, how do you know?"
Gu Cheng smiled: "The core of the way of heaven is balance, yin and yang are turbid, life and death are in it, but good and evil are not there, because good and evil are the most difficult to distinguish, one thought is God, one thought is demon, it is no longer an innate rule that can be defined, Dayan fifty, its use of four nine, this break the fate of the escape one, the day after tomorrow maybe, maybe it should be here." ”
"Do it well, and one day, you'll understand!"
