Chapter 404: Can't get by
Zhang Jiao glanced at Lu Wenhao, and said expressionlessly: "Captain, I was almost killed by you this time, and I was also transferred to the terrifying place of the Internal Control Bureau.
You only have a smiling face and say two kind words. β
"Don't call me captain anymore," Lu Wenhao said with a dry smile: "You are now an agent of the Xiangbei Internal Control Bureau, more majestic than the squadron leader in the night watchman unit, just call me a smoker." β
After that, his face changed like a book, and he said bitterly: "Brother, I know I'm sorry for you, but this incident was completely an accident."
It's all to blame Xiaobai's girlfriend for being too unreliable and providing fake news.
Hey, he's still obsessed, I'm really angry. β
"Don't get away with it, Captain," Zhang Jiao pouted, "Let's be reasonable."
Although I believe in the Father, I am not a fool who does not know the world, and I know that when the water is clear, there are no fish, and when people are observed, there are no disciples, so you do the dirty work and care about my origin and character, and you didn't tell me, I am actually quite grateful.
But everything depends on the outcome in the end, and you almost killed me in the end.
And now, I was treated as an outcast by the Xiangbei Internal Control Bureau, and I was thrown into the top bag of the lower 15th district, and I didn't even have a helper by my side, so I hope you..."
"Oh, let's stay at the door of the public toilet and talk about what God," but before he could say his request, Lu Wenhao suddenly shouted in a fuss: "Go, go, go, I have set a place in Mingyue Building, Xiaobai and Heavy Artillery are waiting there."
Let's hurry over, and when we get there, we drink wine and eat food and talk slowly. β
Interrupting Zhang Jiao's words, he dragged him forward, and disappeared around the corner of the street in a short time.
A few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and in the middle of the night, Zhang Jiao slowly paced out of the 'Mingyue' restaurant, and walked in the direction of the lower area under the eyes of all the members of the night watchman C 9527 team.
On the way, he secretly thought in his heart: "Sure enough, except for Xiaobai, they are all old foxes who are philistines."
Less than half a month ago, when everyone was teammates, I still had a feeling that I could live and die together, but now I just talk about clichΓ©s like friends of wine and meat.
Since it is so reluctant, it is not interesting to be a strong man.
But since you are unkind, you cannot blame me for being unjust. β
Thinking of this, he unconsciously touched a stack of thick gold coupons in his pocket with his right hand, "There are a total of 100 gold coupons with a face value of 10 gold coins, even if they do dirty work and make money, they will lose money this time."
And with this money, I don't have to be cheeky to ask Sister Xiaozhou for activity funds.
After all, he is now a legendary powerhouse in a broad sense, and his face has to be worth a little more. β
The night road was long, and as I walked through a dilapidated wooden door, I passed a shop with a sign that read, 'Pawn, Mortgage, Recycling, and Selling Antique Jade', and then turned in.
In the years since the decline of the South Seas, other materials have become more and more expensive, but the price of antiques has been slowly decreasing.
However, after the situation stabilized a little, there were still people who either liked it, or knew how to make money from it, and insisted on running this business.
And the shops they open are usually open 24 hours a day to facilitate the circulation of some stolen goods.
Zhang Jiao actually didn't understand the rules here, but he used to pass by this antique jade shop when he came home from sword practice, and vaguely remembered that it would not be closed until late, so he came over.
Now in his heart, Qiao Sheng, who is trapped in Nanyang and can only follow the turbulent situation, and the legion that is specially used to harvest soul fragments and wish power points at will in fame, these two characters can no longer be compared with Zhang Bao, who is far away from the worldly sphere of influence of Wendaoism.
In this case, it is natural to tilt the only material resources towards Zhang Bao's character.
Walk into an antique shop with only a dim light bulb on the roof.
Zhang Jiao looked around, his eyes fixed on an old man sitting behind a counter surrounded by iron railings.
Walking over, he said slowly, "Old man, can you take a look at the jade?"
"It's about buying and selling, of course. The sleepy-eyed old man, who was still dozing off just now, rolled his eyelids and quickly looked at him, his face was full of folds, and he said with a smile.
After that, he opened the drawer of the counter, took out a few small red cloth bags, opened them one by one, and placed them on the counter, revealing the crystal and moist bracelets, wrenches, waist wears and other things inside, "You take your time." β
Although Zhang Jiao did not specialize in jade, the Xia Sect civilization has always been jade, and tens of thousands of years ago there was a metaphor of 'a gentleman is like jade', and those with noble status all wore beautiful jade to show their taste.
He was the lord and nobleman of Jiang Chu and the boss of the Nanyang community before, and naturally he had also handled some superb jade, which could be seen to be better.
He took these jade pieces in front of him and played with them for a while, frowned and said, "Does the boss have that kind of special, valuable, but very small and inconspicuous pieces?"
"Can the guest give an appointment," the old man behind the counter muttered, "Do you want to see more valuable and smaller jade pieces?"
Zhang Jiao stretched out his thumb and shook it, "It's so big, and it's worth about 800 gold coins." β
The old man also seemed to have seen the world, and smiled: "A jade piece as big as a thumb can break four rings and two fingers."
Twenty years ago, you really couldn't get any excellent jade at this price in Nanyang, but now you can buy some good goods. β
So saying, he got up and walked into the back room, and after a while, he walked out, and showed a pair of wrenches, a handle carved into a cicada, and a small unicorn head with a hollow that could be pinned to the belt to ward off evil spirits.
coughed and said: "It's not interesting to buy and sell for a small amount of money, these are all 800 gold coins, and we will make a deal if you like it."
It doesn't matter if you don't love it, buying and selling can't be benevolent, it's just that I don't have anything suitable for you in this shop. β
As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jiao had already picked up the jade cicada and said with a smile: "That's it, you can collect the gold coupon of 800 gold coins." β
Directly took out the gold coupon in his pocket, counted out more than half of it, and handed it to the old man.
The old man took the golden coupon and passed it with his finger, nodded and said, "I am a good jade, genuine."
You are real money, and you are not deceived.
The deal was done. β
Zhang Jiao smiled, pinched the jade cicada in his hand, walked out of the antique shop, and turned his head to take a look at it for the last time before leaving, thinking in his heart: "The dead old man is obviously murderous, but he pretends to be an old man and weak."
In the middle of the night, alone, without any precautions, I was allowed to play with jade pieces worth hundreds of gold coins.
I feel like I want to fish for law enforcement.
This kind of ghost place in Nanyang is too hidden dragon and crouching tiger, people's hearts are unpredictable, and the three caves of the cunning rabbit are really right. β
At the same time, his fingers secretly worked hard to smooth out the carved part of the jade cicada, turn it into a jade block, put it in his pocket, and stepped into the night.
