Chapter 719: Jade Pendant
"I want to hear about it." Since you don't understand, it's better to follow the customs, right? I really can't figure out what this old man means.
"If you are looking for an animal, you will have a hundred taels of silver, and if you are looking for a person, you will have a thousand taels of silver; If it is a personal matter, more than one hundred taels; If it's a matter of the state, it's at least a thousand taels or more. Of course, this is only the open price, and it will be calculated according to the size of your event."
After hearing this, Chu Xia was dumbfounded, and suddenly remembered the phone contact information of an advertisement, "If you want xx, please dial xxxxxx, if xx, press 1, if xx, press 2, if ......."
The thought was quickly dragged back, and swallowed her saliva, estimating that her affairs must need a lot of silver, and I don't know if they are willing to take credit.
"Now, girl, you can say what you want to know."
After the man finished speaking, he smiled at him, but it made Chu Xia speechless. Say you're at the wrong door and turn around and go out. If you think about the purpose of coming here, you can't go home empty-handed, right?
"Ahem...... I, I want to ask about 10 years ago."
"That's at least two thousand taels, because the older it gets, the more troublesome it will be to check." Without waiting for Chu Xia to finish speaking, the man reported the account directly.
The frightened Chu Xia just wanted to turn around and leave, so he stubbornly continued, "I want to know who the current emperor is? What happened to Prince Jingyuan ten years ago? And what has happened over the years, I want to know, the more detailed, the better."
The middle-aged man, slightly stunned, looked at the woman in front of him with a puzzled expression, who is the current emperor, do you need her to come here to spend money? What the hell is where she came from. This matter can be big or small, and he can't be careless.
Then he smiled and said casually: "The girl wants to ask about this matter, but the secret of Donghua Kingdom, I'm afraid no one dares to talk about it, the girl is a job that loses her head."
"That's why I came to you, don't you even dare to say it?"
The man shook the feather fan in his hand and smiled confidently, "What the girl said is that there is nothing in this world that Jun Yan does not know, and there is nothing that Jun Yan is afraid of, as long as you give up the money."
That's the goal, right? She knew he wanted to say this. Reached out and took out the jade pendant from her arms, which Junbao asked her to help keep back then, so she kept it with her. She knew how precious this jade pendant was, but now in order to find out about him, she could only temporarily press it here. If something happens to Junbao, what's the use of her having this jade pendant? If he has already achieved fame, he can naturally find a way to redeem the jade pendant.
"This jade pendant is my family heirloom, you are knowledgeable, you should be able to see that it is worth a lot of money, right? I'll press this jade pendant here first, and I'll redeem it again later, I hope you can keep it for me."
The middle-aged man's originally smiling face suddenly changed when he saw the jade pendant, and his eyes were full of incredulity.
But after all, this person has also seen the world, so he quickly calmed down, returned to his original state, picked up the jade pendant with a smile, looked at it carefully, and spoke after a while: "Forgive me for being clumsy, I really can't tell if this jade pendant is real or fake? And the business you said is a bit big, and you don't dare to make your own decisions, so why don't you ask our boss to come out and talk to the girl in person?"
Chu Xia thought he was the boss, but he didn't expect that he was also a part-time worker, since it was naturally best to let the boss come to the interview in person, so he nodded and agreed.
The man put down the jade pendant and turned to go out, leaving Chu Xia alone. Soon the door opened again, and this time it was a young man in his twenties, wearing a blue brocade robe, and looking handsome, could he be the boss here? Too young, right?
The young man, with a flat face, sat down where the middle-aged man had sat just now, looked at the woman quietly for a moment, and asked, "Can you show me your jade pendant?"
Chu Xia took out the jade pendant again and handed it to him, it seems that he is really the boss here, and he is really unseemly.
The young man looked at the jade pendant, and then at Chu Xia, still with a flat face, "We accepted the girl's jade pendant, and the business is also completed, but this matter is a bit troublesome, after all, it involves ten years, so we need some time, I hope the girl can wait patiently, we will definitely give the girl an answer as soon as possible."
"How long?" She had limited time to come here this time, and she didn't have so much time to wait, so her expression was a little solemn.
"Three days." The man replied very cheerfully, as if he saw her doubts, and continued to speak: "Don't worry, girl, we have covered the food and accommodation for the past three days, I have already asked someone to prepare a room for the girl at the inn next door, you can stay here with peace of mind, and I will definitely inform the girl immediately when the matter is clarified."
This person is quite thoughtful, three days is just three days, right? It's better than her running into a wall like a headless fly.
"Okay, I'll wait for Childe's good news."
Chu Xia followed the guy and came to the inn next door. This inn is next to Junyan, and the decoration is very atmospheric, it should also be opened by Junyan, right? It seems that it is still a one-stop service.
The room is clean, translucent, antique, and feels very good. I finally don't have to live on the streets today, so let's get a good night's sleep after a tired day, right?
The young man with a gentleman's face also left after watching the girl leave. It's just that I didn't expect Si Swenwen, who looked long, to have good skills, and he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion in a few leaps.
The prime minister went to arrange a dinner to welcome the emperor into the palace, because the emperor was tired, so he did not attend, so he could only have the prime minister to do it for him. If you want to say that this new prime minister is indeed hard enough, except for the affairs of the emperor's harem, he doesn't have to worry about anything else.
Speedwind was anxious, but he could only wait patiently. The prime minister didn't come back until midnight, and he was helped in by the guards, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot.
"Prime Minister, the speed wind has something to report." Speedwind hurriedly stepped forward and said.
I saw the prime minister open his eyes drunk, his eyes were not focused, and after looking at it for a long time, he seemed to see who the person in front of him was, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he first burped, with a naïve face, "It's a fast wind, I drank too much today, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." As soon as he finished speaking, his head drooped, and he really fell asleep.
Quick Wind was full of helplessness, it seemed that he really couldn't say anything like this, and waved his hand to let the prime minister in.
But the speed wind did not leave, but sat in the living room until dawn. He knew that this matter was too important, so he had to inform the prime minister quickly, but the prime minister drank too much today, so he could only wait.
It wasn't until dawn that the prime minister slowly woke up, and his head still hurt a little. While softening his head, he thought that if he continued to work so hard, he would definitely have a short life. It's a pity that he is only in his thirties, and he already has gray hair.
In the past, I wanted to rely on fame and glory to my ancestors. Now that he finally has fame, he is even above 10,000 people under one person, but he misses the days of begging in the past. Although I ate the last meal, I didn't have the next meal, at least I don't have to work so hard.
That's right, he is Lu Zixiu, who led a group of children to beg for food in the broken temple. Seven years ago, when the emperor was still a down-and-out prince, he found him again. At that time, he had already run the gambling house well, and he also opened several branches. So he threw himself into the great cause of supporting the prince without hesitation.
It's hard work to go all the way with the emperor, but it's worth it. The crown prince ascended the throne as emperor and also gave him everything he deserved. Who would have thought that the person who was begging for food ten years ago has now become a pillar of the country.
The girl's sweetheart heard the sound of the master getting up, pushed the door in, and said respectfully, "My lord, the speed wind is asking to see you outside, he has been waiting all night."
Sweetheart and Speedwind both grew up together, so they call each other by their names. They are all cultivated by adults, but the division of labor is different, the little beggars back then are now famous, only she is willing to stay with adults and be his servant girl. Because she knew that to be a human being, she had to know Entu, and if there were no adults, a few of their little children might have starved to death by then. Of course, meeting the emperor was the turning point in their lives, and those few friends followed the adults to support the emperor. She doesn't have that much ambition, she just wants to stay with the adult and repay him for his kindness back then.
Lu Zixiu was slightly stunned, he seemed to remember that the speed wind came last night, and he waited all night, is there really anything important?
"Let's go, let's go to the front hall first." He knew Speedwind's personality, and if it weren't for something important, he wouldn't be so persistent.
In the living room, the wind didn't sleep all night, but he didn't show any fatigue, but his eyes were slightly anxious. Seeing the adults coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward, "My lord, you have finally woken up, and your subordinates have something important to report."
"Yes, let's talk about it." Lu Zixiu sat on the chair and did not be polite to him, seeing his anxious look, he was also a little worried.
Quick Wind took out the jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Lu Zixiu, "My lord, look at this jade pendant."
Lu Zixiu took the jade pendant puzzled, if it was just an ordinary jade pendant, the speed wind would not be so nervous. Sure enough, after he saw the jade pendant, his eyes widened in vain, and he subconsciously stood up from the chair and asked eagerly, "Where did this jade pendant come from?"
"It's a girl, she went to Junyan yesterday to inquire about the news, and this jade pendant is pressed here as a commission." Looking at the attitude of the prime minister, Speedwind knew that this matter was not trivial, so he reported it truthfully.
"What does that girl look like? How old are you?" When Lu Zixiu asked this, his voice trembled a little. Will the person the emperor have been looking for for ten years be her? I felt my heart beat a little faster.
Speedwind thought for a moment and said, "It's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's seventeen or eighteen years old." The girl he saw was dressed ordinarily, but her face was exquisite.
Lu Zixiu's body stiffened, and a look of disappointment crossed his eyes. Seventeen or eighteen years old, that shouldn't be her. Ten years have passed, and she should be almost thirty years old. It was he who was too excited just now, if it was really Miss Chu, she went directly to the emperor, how could she go to Junyan? It is even more impossible to take the jade pendant as one.
