Chapter 45: News is Valuable
Chu Ruoshan was stunned for a moment, is this still the Mu Jiaren she knows?
"Miss Mu is polite, everyone is a person who serves the prince, if there is any misunderstanding, just communicate more."
"Miss Chu is really a beautiful lady and has a bearing."
Mu Jiaren finished speaking and went out.
In the past few days, she has been inquiring about the situation in Baicao Valley, and there are many people who do this kind of business in the rivers and lakes.
The teahouse and theater in the city are all places they often go to, Mu Jia chose the second floor of a theater building, found a corner seat and sat down, ordered a plate of melon seeds and a pot of tea, and waited for people.
About a quarter of an hour, a man in his early twenties, with small eyes, single eyelids, and a pair of tiger teeth, walked up to her desk.
The man sat down and poured a cup of tea: "This time, the news is going to increase the price." ”
"I didn't even open my mouth, so I said that the price would increase, what if it wasn't worth it?"
"I, Yan San, have been in this industry for five years, and this bit of silver will smash my reputation, and I will have to rely on this to support my family in the future."
Mu Jiaren took out the money bag and threw it on the table, Yan San knew roughly the amount of money just by listening to the voice.
He took the money bag and said: "There are a lot of people who inquire about the news of Baicao Valley, so I won't hide anything from you, that time Baicao Valley was attacked, I heard that it was to go to the four waves of people, not to mention the assassins, and the disciples of the Tianya Pavilion on the clouds, as well as the people of Baicao Valley, although the valley was burned afterwards, but judging from the surrounding land, there should still be a team of people." ”
Mu Jiaren looked at him impatiently: "What I want to inquire about is not this, I not only know that there is a team of people, I also know what these people look like." ”
Yan San was shocked: "Oh? You know? How much? ”
"I don't sell this news, what I want to know is where the people from Baicao Valley have gone."
"It's dead, and the Hundred Grass Valley is destroyed."
As soon as Yan San's words fell, a chopstick was pressed against his throat, and if he moved a little, it might be dangerous.
"Girl, I have something to say."
"It is impossible for Baicao Valley to be destroyed, you don't have the ability to eat this bowl of rice, just take out the money for me!"
Why didn't the girl believe it? Although Baicao Valley was burned, the corpses inside were obviously them, the people of Baicao Valley had been taking medicinal herbs since childhood, and their bodies had long been alienated, even after the fire, they were different from ordinary people, and most of them could maintain their human form. ”
Mu Jiaren thought about it carefully, could it be that those who attacked her were people from Baicao Valley? No, they don't have reason, they attack everyone, even the masked man, they try to avoid them.
Master was able to let her get things a day earlier, and the people of Baicao Valley should have expected that someone would attack.
It's just that, why attack Baicao Valley?
"I went to destroy the door for the sake of the prescription of immortality, but I have been safe for so many years, but I was wiped out this year, I can't say it."
"I inquired a little bit about this matter, and you can not believe the rest, but this is the reason why I increased the price."
Yan San leaned forward, bowed his head and whispered: "Baicao Valley not only has the secret recipe for immortality, but also a treasure map, and it is said that the treasure is enough to subvert the situation. ”
"There is no corroboration of this news, you can make it up."
"I wouldn't ask for it without proof."
As she spoke, Yan San handed her a yellowed pamphlet, the cover was gone.
"What is this?"
"Baicao Valley did not appear overnight, its original founder was King Wenchang, this is the biography of King Wenchang."
"Something from more than a hundred years ago?"
"Yes, you look at the font on it yourself, and this paper, now you don't need it, why am I bothering to deceive you?"
"In that case, you can sell for a better price."
"People who can know the font on it, now the entire Xiling Kingdom can't find three, and it may be really waste paper to others, I think you should know the goods."
Mu Jiaren flipped it over, it was indeed the long-lost Changyan font, she had seen this font twice, once at home, and once in the Tianya Pavilion on the clouds.
It's just that she has never studied, she only knows a few words, and she can't read the whole book.
"Without thinking about it, tell me who that person is? The price is negotiable, really! ”
Yan San is particularly interested in Mu Jiaren, and now the news of Baicao Valley in the rivers and lakes can be said to be in short supply, and whoever is a little exclusive will definitely make a lot of money.
"That's it, three seven points, I'll be three and you seven."
Yan San felt that if he couldn't make money, he would have to be famous.
"I can only say that these people are not easy to offend, and I am a coward."
"If you let out the news, you will meet more people in the future, and maybe the ones you dare not say."
Mu Jiaren turned slightly: "I told you, you can keep me safe?" ”
"I know this news, let it out, if you want to die, you won't be the only one who will die, those who do this business have their own rules, if anyone easily kills our mouths, it will not be easy in the future."
Mu Jiaren knows that Yan San and these people are neither good nor evil, they only look at money, but they have their own rules, it is very common to fight in the nest on weekdays, if it is really a big event, but it is much more united than others, the so-called three people become tigers, it is not impossible for them to bring down one person.
Mu Jiaren reached out and dipped the tea in the cup and wrote the word "Shuo" on the table.
Yan San was shocked: "What evidence is there?" ”
"You can inquire about what he has bought recently, or look at where the domestic grain, grass, and timber have been transported, and you will know whether it is true or false, and Baicao Valley is very important to him."
Yan San nodded: "Don't worry, girl, if it's true, we will still be three or seven points." ”
"I don't need money."
"Then what do you need, what can I do for you?" Yan San had a knowing expression.
"You can just spread the news, you are right, if only I know, it will soon be silenced, everyone will know, and I will be safe."
"Don't worry, we're all tight when we inquire about the news."
Yan San left the theater, and Mu Jiaren returned home after listening to the play.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw that there was food on the table, and it was warm, which was a good feeling, and I was busy with my own business every day, and I could eat a hot meal when I came back.
After eating a few bites, Du Xuanxuan came to her, and Mu Jiaren knew that she loved to eat, so she took another pair of bowls and chopsticks.
"What's the matter with me?"
Du Xuanxuan was not polite, and sat down to eat with her: "What are you busy with these days, you always go out early and return late." ”
"You're interested in my whereabouts, too?"
"I'm not interested, but everyone is saying, I have to listen if I don't listen, and I have repeatedly said that you, as a maid, are unseemly to show up, but Chu Ruoshan also pleaded for you, saying that you are not a lady in the boudoir, and you don't pay attention to these."
Mu Jiaren smiled and didn't care: "Some people say what I do, I have recently gone out to go shopping, listen to dramas, and it's too boring to stay in the palace." ”
"Listening to a play? Interesting? Can I go? Du Xuanxuan was thinking about the snacks outside.
"I'll take you next time."
"Good!"
The two ate the same meal, Du Xuanxuan looked at the dim sum on the side, and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this your favorite quicksand cake?" Why hasn't a piece moved? ”
