Chapter 37: Rules
With the afterglow of dusk, Zhang Jichuan came to the White Tower. The guards on both sides were already acquaintances, and greeted him with a smile:
"Hello Mr. Big." "Good evening, Mr. Yoshikawa." "Mr. Zhang is really early today. ”
Zhang Jichuan nodded his head in greeting: "Hello, have you eaten?" ”
"After eating, Mr. Jichuan hurry in, there are already many people waiting for you." One of the guards enthusiastically opened the door for him.
"Thank you."
As soon as I entered the White Tower, the voices of the boiling people roared.
"Mr. Jeshikawa is here!"
"Ahh Mr. Big has finally arrived, and my transcendent items have finally been identified. ”
"I've been waiting for a long time, but this one is finally here."
......
Zhang Jichuan said hello to the enthusiastic customers, walked up to the second floor, and came to his own exclusive appraisal room.
"Mr. Jichuan, good evening, your uniform." A young apprentice brought Zhang Jichuan's uniform, his name was Gutun, an apprentice with great potential, and Master Usu personally arranged for him to study with Zhang Jichuan.
"Good evening, trouble." Zhang Jichuan took the uniform and changed it on, and the uniform of Mr. Big of the Yujing Branch was a white gown, embroidered with moire, inlaid with gold edges, and a vertical pupil on the back, known as the omniscient eye.
Guton hung up Zhang Jichuan's private clothes and asked, "Mr. Jichuan, what are you drinking today?" ”
Zhang Jichuan: "White water is fine." ”
"Wait a minute."
Guton poured a glass of water and brought it, and after Zhang Jichuan took a sip, he asked, "There are already many customers outside who are looking forward to it, Mr. Jichuan, can you let them in?" ”
Zhang Jichuan nodded: "Well, you can start." ”
Guton went to arrange, and the first person to walk into the appraisal room was a middle-aged man in a black suit and a top hat, who sat at the appraisal table, took off his top hat, revealing his well-combed hair, with a sense of impatience on his face, and said in a weird manner: "Yo, Mr. Big's shelf is quite big, making people wait for so long." ”
Gudun's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly leaned over and whispered in Zhang Jichuan's ear: "Mr. Jichuan, this is from the palace and is the emperor's envoy. ”
In fact, there is no need to say that Zhang Jichuan is also a little familiar with this person, and as soon as he heard him, he remembered that he went to school a few days ago to buy Qianlong's Tiger gun, isn't this person.
"Sorry, there's something going on at school during the day." Zhang Jichuan explained, and then asked curiously, "There should be a special palace appraiser in the palace, right?" Why did the messenger come to my shop? ”
In general, students who graduate from the archaeology departments of various universities generally go to four places: first, to stay in school to teach; second, to join the Association of Archaeologists; third, to become the exclusive appraiser and analyst of nobles and wealthy merchants; Fourth, become an adventurer.
Aristocrats and wealthy merchants had their own appraisers, not to mention emperors.
Even if the current emperor is basically hollowed out, this bit of power still has to be retained, as long as these appraisers do not pass on the secret method of identification, no one will pursue it.
The emperor's envoy looked impatient: "What so much nonsense? His Majesty the Emperor wants you to have the Archaeologists Association identify, it is your great honor, do you have any opinions? ”
Zhang Jichuan was a little displeased, but he didn't show it, and said to Guton: "Take the envoy to the fifth floor and ask Master Wusu or Master Ma Delin to receive it in person." ”
"What do you mean?" The emperor's envoy changed his face, stood up from his seat, pointed at Zhang Jichuan and said, "You dare to refuse to appraise extraordinary items for His Majesty the Emperor?" ”
"Messenger, you misunderstood." Gutun next to him hurriedly said, "This is a common practice, and it is also Mr. Jichuan's respect for His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Generally speaking, the first and second floors of the White Pagoda are reserved for ordinary adventurers to identify and analyze extraordinary items, and wealthy merchants and nobles who have exclusive appraisers and parsers cannot identify and analyze extraordinary items, if they want to come to the White Pagoda to identify and analyze, they will be taken to the exclusive private rooms on the fourth and fifth floors to show their dignity.
It's Gurton who says so.
"What are you, and here is your share of talking?" The emperor's envoy scolded with disdain, and then pointed at Zhang Jichuan, with an arrogant and resolute attitude, "Don't use any master to fool me, how noble are His Majesty's extraordinary items?" It must be identified by the most skilled appraiser, Zhang Jichuan, it must be identified by you. ”
Zhang Jichuan frowned, the reason why he appraised transcendent items on the second floor instead of going to the private rooms on the fourth and fifth floors was because of Director Darcy's reminder and did not want to have too much contact with the rich merchants and nobles.
Wealthy merchants and aristocrats were still reluctant to make contact, and Zhang Jichuan was even more reluctant to have anything to do with the emperor.
Li Jun's father, Li Luo, the Minister of Supervision, seems to be his opponent of other nobles and ministers in power, but in fact, he has another more special enemy - the emperor!
The power in his hands comes from the emperor, and if you want to say that the most feared thing must be that the power will be taken back by the emperor one day.
If Zhang Jichuan gets close to the emperor, Li Luo is afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Zhang Jichuan looked at the emperor's envoy without waves and said, "Do you want me to identify?" Then come according to the rules, first go and let the little gentlemen and big gentlemen on the first and second floors identify for three days, if you can't identify it, come to me and queue up again. ”
This is Zhang Jichuan's rule for identifying transcendent items in the White Tower, although he can quickly and efficiently identify a large number of transcendent items, but once he does this, the jobs of the rest of the archaeologists will also be smashed by him, so there is this rule.
If others dare to make such rules, they will definitely be drowned by the spittle stars of the archaeologists, but if this person is Zhang Jichuan, no one will have an opinion, and Zhang Jichuan has successfully conquered the archaeologists of the Yujing Branch.
"Presumptuous!" The emperor's envoy was furious and slapped the table, "Zhang Jichuan, you are so bold, you dare to let His Majesty the Emperor line up?" ”
Zhang Jichuan's face did not change: "I asked you to line up, but you said that I asked the emperor to line up, do you have a problem with your ears?" Or do you want to replace the emperor? ”
The messenger's face changed: "You ......"
Zhang Jichuan didn't want to say anything, waved his hand, and said to Gutun: "Invite the messenger out." ”
"Yes, Mr. Jeshikawa." Guton nodded, and made a 'please' gesture to the Emperor's envoy.
"Okay, you, you ......" The emperor's envoy's lips trembled angrily, and he couldn't speak clearly. He grabbed his top hat and walked out, and said angrily, "Zhang Jichuan, if you dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor, you will regret it, you will definitely regret it......"
Zhang Jichuan shrugged his shoulders, not to mention a puppet emperor with great power, even if it was Nicholas VI, who was in power next door, he had to respect three points in the face of the Archaeologist Association.
"Next ......," he said lightly.

In a shop on the third floor, a chubby young man sits on a sofa playing cards with friends, and the most beautiful shopping guide in the store is diligently introducing them to the store's extraordinary items.
At this time, a person walked over, leaned over and whispered in the ear of the chubby young man, "Get ready, do it tonight." ”
"Good!" The chubby young man smiled and happily threw out the cards in his hand, "This one, I won!" ”
