Chapter 165. Distinguished guests are visiting
The sudden fire naturally became the hottest topic in the city, and more importantly, many people began to speculate about who died in the fire. When night fell again, a small courtyard near the imperial city was brightly lit, but the martial law in the whole city had no effect on the place, and even the owner's face was full of joy that could not be concealed. He repeatedly instructed those people to check all the details, and after making sure that everything was absolutely ready at the moment, he finally exhaled slightly, and said after a long time: "Alas, it's almost over, and our honored guest should always appear, right?" May, are you sure that the man has already set off? There must be no mistakes in this meeting, and we are one step closer to our plans, and it is impossible to let this big fish disappear from my eyes in any way. ”
"Of course. Whenever my message goes wrong, those people will arrive in a little while. It's your big day, and there are a lot of people, so I won't be here to get in the way. Everything is arranged by Ju for you. There was a polite smile on Mei's face, and it was still impossible to guess what was going on in her mind.
The owner of the Baihua Building, who was dressed in golden clothes, nodded almost happily, and said continuously: "Okay, very good." Of course, I can't get away with it. But Ju, didn't you mean her...... Have you been feeling a little bad in the past two days? Could it be that now it's suddenly getting better again? What if something goes wrong with her......"
But Mei didn't give him a chance to continue talking, just smiled and politely turned away. He snorted coldly and beckoned outside, as if to ensure his supreme authority, he called Ju. Before he could say anything, Ju said lightly on the side: "Landlord, the distinguished guest you are waiting for has arrived at the door and is about to come in." Don't know if you're really ready for them? ”
Before he could speak, a pale man strode in, followed by two men dressed in black. The most indelible thing is the momentum on their bodies, as if there are only three of them left between heaven and earth. The air in the room became tense as they arrived, and even Ju, who had always been calm, became short of breath.
"Did you get what I wanted?" The person who came just glanced at the owner of Baihua Mansion coldly, completely arrogant, without the slightest intention of being polite.
The owner of the Hundred Flowers Mansion sighed, "Of course I brought what you wanted." I spent a lot of effort and a lot of financial and material resources to get this here, shouldn't you thank me properly? ”
"Ten thousand taels of gold have been sent to the place you have designated in advance, and as long as I am sure that there is nothing wrong with these things now, the gold will not be one tael worse than you. Come on, let me inspect the goods first. The pale-faced man's voice was so cold that there was no emotion.
"Are you going to take these two things away like that? That's a huge treasure, right? Now everyone in the world knows that there is a huge treasure hidden in Xishu, and it may even be the total amount of taxes paid by our Great Song Dynasty for decades. That's not just a matter of 10,000 taels of gold, right? The Lord of the Hundred Flowers Mansion stopped the comer's movements, with a faint smile on his face that was almost invisible.
"What? Do you want to go back? This is not Baihualou's style of acting. We've not been dealing with each other for a day or two, and you know what will happen if you offend me. The man said with a cold face, and the expression on his face became more and more ugly.
The owner of the Hundred Flowers Mansion sighed and shook his head: "Are you planning to be ruthless in front of me?" Actually, it is not necessary at all, because we are people in the same boat. What I mean is actually very simple, I don't want the 10,000 taels of gold, but I want a piece of the so-called treasure, such a request is not too much for you, right? ”
"I see, no wonder they all say that the abacus of the owner of Baihua Mansion is shrewd, and today really opened my eyes. Well, since you care about the treasure, I care about the pearl of the night, then it's not a big deal, is it? Come, let me examine the beads, and as for other things, I'll wait until my people have examined them. The mysterious man breathed a sigh of relief, as if the request of the owner of the Hundred Flowers Mansion was expected by him.
The man standing to the left of the man stepped forward and took the night pearl handed over by the owner of the Baihua Building, and took a closer look at the light, at first it was a little solemn, but only after a moment, he sent the bead to the man, and then whispered two words. The man didn't speak, but handed the bead to the hand of the owner of the Hundred Flowers Building, and said in a low voice: "Then continue to test." ”
"Is there a problem with this bead?" The voice of the owner of the Baihua Mansion has changed a little, it took him a long time to keep his voice from trembling, and now he can't stand any wind and grass.
Ju said lightly on the side: "There will be absolutely no problem with the beads, it is invited by our people from the inner garden of the palace, we have lost our troops for these two things, and it is not something that can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of gold." Something like that...... How do you find out if it's true or not? ”
As he spoke, Ju carefully opened a mechanism from the table, popping out a dark box from inside, and under the illumination of the light, the bottle inside emitted a layer of gentle light. The person who inspected the beads before couldn't help but light up, he rushed forward, and without waiting for Ju to speak, he carefully took out the bottle, and sighed repeatedly: "There will be no mistake, there will definitely be no mistake." Only the finest mutton fat white jade can shine so warmly under the illumination of the light. And this touch is definitely not wrong, warm in winter and cool in summer, that kind of touch will make people's skin feel like drinking Gyokuro elixir, there will be absolutely nothing wrong. If you have been exposed to it once in your life, you will never forget it. It's just a pity ......"
"What a pity?" Ju's heart couldn't help but sink down, and he asked in a loud voice.
The man looked into the light, "Beautiful things always have a price. Originally, in order to preserve the things hidden here, a hole was made in the body of the jade, and in order to ensure that the contents would not be stolen, a layer of wax was put on the body of the jade bottle. And that kind of wax has been in contact with jade for a long time, which will have a certain impact on jade, such as affecting the luster on its body. Thankfully, now that we've got it, it doesn't have to suffer anymore. ”
