The 1188th Jade Pendant!
"Wrong? It's unlikely, and it's unlikely that you're looking away, and you're ...... It's all pawn shops......" Jiang Mo seemed to grasp something keenly.
"Yes, second master, the most on this street is a pawn shop." Bai Yu repeated it again.
"Perhaps...... It's possible, Chao Xuan has always disliked bringing money, in the past, the little guys followed, and it has been several days since he came out, even if he has to eat and live, he has to make money, where does he get the money? Estimate...... It should be that the mountains and rivers are exhausted, so they ......" Jiang Mo inferred from Zhao Chaoxuan's consistent habits.
"Second master, what do you mean...... The little prince is here to pawn something? Bai You listened to Jiang Mo's words and seemed to react.
"Quite possibly! Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for him to appear at all, check, all the pawn shops here give me a check one by one! I want to know if Chaoxuan really came, or if he pawned something! Jiang Mo frowned.
"Yes! Second master! Jiang Mo gave an order, and the guards immediately dispersed to various pawn shops to confirm them one by one......
"Okay, little prince, Ran'er, don't send it out, it's unsafe for people outside, this matter is decided, you wait for me at night according to the address I gave you, we had better go out of the city overnight."
"Okay, no problem, we're ready to prepare, we'll go over tonight, and this matter will trouble you."
"Little prince, you don't need to be polite, Ran'er will call me uncle if you say anything, I should help you with this matter, okay, you pay attention to safety, I will leave first......"
"Send Uncle ......"
"Let's go back quickly......" After making a plan for tonight, Zhao Ji left quietly, and Zhao Chaoxuan and Qin Ran were anxiously waiting for the coming of darkness......
"Second master, there's news here!" At the same time, the guards asked from door to door, and finally asked for some news in a pawnshop, and the guards immediately asked Jiang Mo for instructions......
"About an hour ago, there was indeed a gentleman with extraordinary bearing who came to our small shop to pawn things, but the jade pendant he took looked like it was priceless, and the small shop really couldn't afford it, so he politely refused." When the shopkeeper saw Jiang Mo with the posture of a guard, he was very glad that he didn't accept the jade pendant, so he naturally told the truth.
"Jade pendant? What kind of jade pendant can have inscriptions on it? Jiang Mo asked just to further confirm that the young boy in the mouth of this shop was Zhao Chaoxuan.
"Uh...... Lettering...... It's really there.,The front is a scenery word.,The back is a kind and word.,That's it.。 Because I looked carefully at the jade pendant, the store was very impressed by these two words.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Mo was even more anxious.
"This lord, the villain has been looking at these things all the year round, how can he be blind with just two words, the villain is sure that these are the two words." The shopkeeper looked determined.
"Jinghe is the ...... of Chaoxuan's cousin"
"Shhh...... So it's really the little prince who came here to pawn? The shopkeeper's words made Jiang Mo confirm again that the young boy who came here before was Zhao Chaoxuan.
Because the word "Jinghe" on the Zhao Dynasty Xuan table was given by the emperor's grandfather, and the jade pendant in the shopkeeper's mouth was brought to him by the emperor's grandfather himself when the Zhao Dynasty announced the gift of a weak crown.
Not to mention that it is very valuable, but more importantly, it is very meaningful, and it is an extremely cherished object of Zhao Chaoxuan, but now he is ...... Alas...... Jiang Mo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"What? What little prince? The shopkeeper really didn't know Zhao Chaoxuan's identity, but now listening to the words of the group of officials in front of him, he was a little surprised, and his face was panicked.
"Let me ask you, where did that boy go after he left you?" Jiang Mo stared at the store.
"This ...... The villain saw that he was really anxious to pawn the jade pendant, but the villain really didn't dare to accept it here, so he went to another house. ”
"Which one?" Jiang Mo pressed forward step by step.
"That's it, it's the one diagonally opposite, it's that one!" The shopkeeper had probably never seen such a posture in his life, and he was really frightened, and said tremblingly pointing to the same pawn shop not far from the entrance of his shop.
"Good! You two stay here and watch him, and you guys come with me!" ”
"Yes, Second Master!"
"Hey, official, I, why should I be censored if I confiscate that jade pendant?"
"Sorry, please cooperate, this is routine!"
"No, sir, what's going on? I heard what you mean, the boy who came to me just now to pawn the jade pendant is an extremely noble person? The shopkeeper couldn't help but be curious.
"Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, be careful of losing your life!" But these guards were all well-trained, so how could they gossip with this guard, and after a word of warning, he continued to guard the door of the store.
The store must have asked again and there was still a danger to his life, so he naturally stopped.
"Oh, you're a ...... this guest Hiss...... This ...... What is this for? Our small shop has always been operating in good faith, and there is no fraud, you bring these officials ......" Jiang Mo found the second from the first, and asked from the second to the third, as soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper was taken aback, after all, they were the most taboo to eat a lawsuit as a pawn, and hurriedly turned around from the counter.
"Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you, did you have a son in this store more than an hour ago and pawned a piece of jade pendant that you carried with you?" Jiang Mo didn't say anything when he entered the door, and Bai You directly blocked the front of the shopkeeper and asked.
"Huh? What the? What Childe? No, I don't. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Oops...... This is the villain on the counter, and there are not many guests coming and going today, the villain remembers clearly, not to mention an hour ago, that is, there is no boy brother from early in the morning to now. As soon as the shopkeeper heard the question, he immediately thought of the jade pendant they had just received, thinking that he was here to find fault, so he naturally denied it again and again.
"Really? I'll give you another chance, that prince is the little prince of Zongguang Wangfu, and that jade pendant is also a gift from the emperor, but it is not something that ordinary people can afford! The shopkeeper's obvious eyes flickered, and Jiang Mo raised his eyebrows and realized that something was wrong, and smiled coldly.
"Little, little prince?" The shopkeeper probably never thought that the extraordinary son-in-law was such a powerful identity, and that jade pendant was so big, this ...... The shopkeeper was visibly panicked.
"Have you ever seen it?" If it weren't for Zhao Chaoxuan, Jiang Mo really didn't have any good patience for this kind of person!
"Uh...... This one, this lord, we ...... No, there is no ......" But because it was his boss's order, the shopkeeper was afraid and didn't dare to tell Jiang Mo the truth.
"None? Good! Bai You, tell them to search! If that jade pendant is found, they will be punished for the crime of harboring royal tribute, and they will have to be exiled for ten years, to say the least! Since the shopkeeper has no eyes and doesn't know how to lift, Jiang Mo has no choice but to exert his might.
"Hey, you can't, we're a serious place to do business, and you shouldn't be looking for someone like this!"
"What are you arguing about! No more business! There was a noise in front of the cabinet, and the boss inside finally heard the noise and couldn't sit still, and came out scolding!
"Boss, you can come, they, they are here for that piece of jade pendant." When the shopkeeper saw the backstage boss coming out, he hurriedly ran over and whispered.
"Guys, I'm the head of this shop, what do you have to tell me?" This master just got the jade pendant, and it was not warm in his hand, so something happened, and he gasped in his heart, but he still greeted him with an old fritter.
"Huh...... Okay, you don't talk nonsense, the jade pendant is with you, right? ”
"What...... Jade pendant? The boss pretended to be confused.
"This family, master, I really don't have time to fight with you haha, I'm in a hurry to find someone, I also know that your shop is the last place to be treated by Chaoxuan, he is the little prince of Zongguang Wangfu, so that his temperament ran out, he didn't have any silver money on his body, and the valuable one is the jade pendant, which is in your hands, right?" Jiang Mo patiently confirmed.
"What little prince, I didn't see it, Liu Fu, did you see it?" Jiang Mo has made his words clear to this extent, this master is really a money obsesser, and he dares to open his eyes and say nonsense!
It's just that the shopkeeper's face became more and more flustered, and this lying appearance made Jiang Mo very impatient!
