Chapter 102: Repaying the Favor
The world's first locksmith.
The highest honor of a craftsman is to be recognized and rewarded by the emperor.
It is not unusual that he is the descendant of the locksmith and guards the plaque with his life.
Strangely, how did she know?
"Of course I have my own way of knowing." Chi Jing was a little impatient and didn't want to dwell on this issue. All she wanted to know was if he had ever been able to open the locks.
"Boss Chi, don't hide it. Although I am the descendant of Yu Locksmith, I have only heard my master mention the white bone lock once, and today is the first time I have the honor to see this strange lock. The bell locksmith was ashamed.
"That's no way? If you don't try it, you just say you can't do it? Chi Jing didn't believe him.
"I need time." The bell locksmith said, and raised Xiaoyu's ankle to look at it, a little eager to try.
"Good! No matter how long it takes, as long as you can open it, I will help you protect your plaque in your lifetime, and if you have no heirs in a hundred years, I will definitely keep it intact and not let anyone destroy it, so that future generations can admire it, and the remaining locksmith will be remembered for a hundred years. Chi Jing promised, in fact, he didn't understand these craftsmen in his heart.
Life is the most precious, is it worth risking one's life for a dead thing?
"Good!" He is dying, and his successor has not yet been found. In the past two years, more and more people have started to find the clue of the key of the locksmith because of the treasure hunt, he is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that those people will destroy the plaque of the ancestor!
It is said that the boss of Wuhua Building has a promise, and he is willing to gamble!

Chi Jing returned to Gucheng, and Nie Yihan received the news and immediately came to Wuhua Courtyard to report. After the famous doctor's injuries improved, he sent a few masters to guard the Wuhua Courtyard, and then began to be busy killing people everywhere to make money, and he hadn't appeared for several days.
"Brother Nie, why are you so sure that the treasure map is in Master Tang's house?" Chi Jing pulled him aside, leaned close to his ear, and asked in a low voice.
The famous doctor happened to look at them, and when he saw the two people who were talking to each other, he opened his eyes a little unnaturally.
Nie Yihan stood up straight and couldn't help but reach out and stroke his ears.
Jing'er exhaled in his ear as he spoke, and his ears were numb... This feeling suddenly reminded him of the day he saved the famous doctor, and he couldn't help but hug her at that moment...
The face that had always been like an iceberg melted instantly, and the roots of his ears were dyed with a thin red glow.
"Brother Nie? Brother Nie? "As a killer leader, is it really good to get distracted so easily?
"Huh? Oh. Nie Yihan came back to his senses and stroked his ears again. What did you just say? β
Chi was purified, so he had to lean over and repeat the words again.
"Oh, this. Why did Jing'er suddenly become curious about this? Is there not enough money to spend? As he spoke, without thinking, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his bosom and shoved them out of her handβ
The movements are so natural that you can't even tell that you've practiced them countless times.
Men should earn money to support their families.
"Huh?" Chi Jing was stupid. She reached out and touched his forehead, it wasn't hot. Brother Nie is okay, right?
"The treasure hunt is too dangerous, we men should come forward, and Jing'er should not go into danger." Nie Yihan explained, anyway, he just didn't want to be clued by her treasure map that she knew how much she loved money and how nervous she was in the past...
"Chickens and ducks talk about it... Forget it, if you don't say it, you won't say it, I'm not interested anyway. Ready to eat! She handed him back the ticket and turned to the kitchen, not seeing the disappointment he had seen when he took it.
The skills of the newly hired maid are far inferior to the jade bottle, so they can only eat it!

The Wuhua Courtyard has been rectified, and after buying the neighbor's yard and opening it, the scale of the Wuhua Courtyard has increased several times.
The rooms of Chi Jing and Yu Bottle remained the same, Xiao Yu moved to Lan Yimo's original room, and the new courtyard had five wings, Lan Yimo and the famous doctor lived in two of them, and the other two were temporary residences of Zhong Locksmith and Nie Yihan.
There was also the largest one left, which was used by famous doctors to store medicinal herbs, while the Blue Ink Refining Gu was in the cellar.
The room was just right. If you pick up people later, you won't be able to squeeze in.
Otherwise, buy another yard? Anyway, the land price in Gucheng is not expensive.
It's just that...
Chi Jing pondered, why did she have the feeling of opening a shelter?
β¦
I slept until noon, refreshed.
She was a little hesitant to visit Wan Sheng's younger brother when the gray shadow appeared silently.
"Miss Chi, the master invites you to come to the door for a gathering." Gray Shadow said, involuntarily glancing at her, a flash of disappointment.
Are you looking for a jade bottle?
"The jade bottle didn't come back with me." Chi Jing said, veiled and walked with him.
"Hmm... Miss Xie informed. Gray Shadow was depressed and thanked him in a low voice. After taking Chi Jing to Wan Sheng's study, he retreated without saying a word.
Before Gray Shadow's fate changed, she didn't approve of him continuing to be involved with the Jade Bottle.
Seeing the gray shadow leaving alone, and thinking of the jade bottle in the capital that often took care of the shadow and self-pity, Chi Jing sighed in his heart and looked into the study.
The more and more handsome young man sitting in the spacious and bright study is not her Wan Sheng brother, who else can there be?
"Young Master! Long time no see! Chi Jing smiled and said hello and walked over briskly, Brother Wan Sheng has grown taller again! That's nice!
"Hmm." Wan Sheng put down the book in his hand and responded with a smile. Seeing her sunny smile, the haze of months was swept away.
When did it start? He himself didn't know.
The girl in front of him always smiled at him with no heart and sincerity, and he felt very kind every time, and unconsciously gave her a sincere smile back, and even felt more and more that it was the right decision to save her in the first place.
"The young master came to me to discuss something?" Although Chi Jing wanted to gossip with him, she knew that if he didn't really have something important to discuss, he wouldn't send Gray Shadow to invite her over.
"Yes." Wan Sheng said, feeling a little difficult to speak.
"But it doesn't hurt to say that. Whatever you want, young master, I will do everything possible to find it for you. Chi Jing saw his embarrassment and was a little distressed.
In the past, Chengzong wanted something, but he was afraid of increasing her burden, so he often held back and didn't say anything, and his expression was just like Wan Sheng's now.
My sister is rich now, as long as you open your mouth, everything your sister will give you.
Wan Sheng's heart warmed, and he blurted out, "Why?" β
Why? You look like my long-lost brother.
"Because the young master has the grace to save my life, and let me get rid of my slavery, Chi Jing should repay me with a spring." Chi Jing is rightfully authentic.
Oh, too, she always said that she would repay the favor. So those smiles, it's just because he saved her?
Wan Sheng's smile faded a little.
"That's right." Wan Sheng said a few words, pursed his lips tightly, and fell into a struggle in his heart.
Ji Jing waited patiently, encouraging him with his eyes not to worry and to speak directly.
"Do you remember when you saidβ" Wan Sheng spoke again. If there's a place where you're useful, would you be willing to serve me? β
"Yes. I said it, and it still works today. "Chi Jing Dao.
"Good. Then what if I want you to help me assassinate the emperor? β
