Volume 4: The White Head Crying Chapter 4: Stealing beams and changing pillars, molten jade and cutting gold.
"Yellow flowers. The girl's expression changed slightly, and she walked towards the outside of the inn with a light skill. The middle-aged man holding the silver hook breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her leave, and saw a figure flashing by, it was Bai Yujing.
As soon as Bai Yujing came out of the inn, he saw that the girl untied a horse at random, rode up, and opened her mouth to shout: "How dare you steal this girl's horse?" Bai Yujing found that someone was riding a yellow horse galloping on the street in front.
The girl said that someone else stole the horse, and she didn't know whose horse she was riding at the moment, and before Bai Yujing could speak, the horse had already carried her out dozens of feet away. He looked left and right, and there were no other horses in the place where the horses were tied, so he shook his head.
The girl said in her heart that she would definitely come back later, and she wandered around the streets around here.
"You are too bullying, my jade bracelet is a natural fire jade, worth at least eight thousand, and you are only willing to pay eight taels of silver. ”
I saw some crowds of people watching the excitement in front of me, and I heard a sharp male voice coming out: "You girl, you don't know what to do." I originally pitied you for your urgent need for money to see a loved one, so I bid you eight taels for this topaz bracelet, and I don't want you to insist that you are a natural fire jade. It's really a joke, even if it's our Daming Palace, there aren't many fire jade bracelets, where did you get such a precious thing. ”
"Give me back the bracelet, I don't deserve it. ”
Tianyuan pawnshop, one of the three major pawnshops in Hangzhou. There are no guardrails that this pawnshop should have, and even in the hall, you can do business, and you are not afraid of robbers doing that stealing, which shows that the background is deep.
"It's her ......" Bai Yujing took a closer look, and vaguely remembered that that day at the foot of Tiantai Mountain, Yao Mingyue said that there was a Japanese woman who traveled to Daming to find the man in white. The moment she turned around, Bai Yujing remembered her appearance.
"No, it's okay, you can just take it. The middle-aged man handed the woman a bracelet.
The woman was Sakurako Sakagami: "This is not my original bracelet. The tone was anxious and angry.
"It's going to be a fight. The crowd of onlookers screamed in surprise, and there was some schadenfreude.
"This girl is so beautiful, now I'm afraid that not only will the bracelet be lost, but people will also be lost in this pawnshop. Someone chuckled softly, and his voice was indescribably obscene.
"I heard that the sixth master is good at this, maybe he has taken a fancy to this girl. Another answered.
Bai Yujing listened to them say something unbearable, and said in his heart This girl is here, will the man in white be on the side, he looked around, but he didn't find anything.
Sakurako Sakagami was angry and suddenly drew her sword and stabbed at the middle-aged man.
"Ahh
The middle-aged man's martial arts skills were not weak, and he casually knocked down Sakurako Sakagami's long sword: "It's really bold, dare to spread wild in our place, don't say that you are a foreigner, even if it is the three major local sects, you have to give us the sixth master a few thin noodles." ”
Sakurako Sakagami's heart was full of humiliation, if it weren't for Uncle Miyayuki being seriously injured, his life would be hanging by a thread. Why did it end up so much, you have to pawn the jade bracelet. I don't want to, this guy from a small pawnshop in front of me dares to bully me like this, it's really too deceitful!
Therefore, she didn't want to argue with him anymore and drew her sword directly. But what made Sakurako Sakagami feel even more ashamed, and even despaired, was that he was not the enemy of the person in front of him. I was helpless in my heart: "It seems that Uncle Gong Xing lets me compete every time." ”
The long sword flew away, and the person fell to the ground, looking at the middle-aged man with a cheap smile walking towards her, Sakurako Sakagami suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry, this country of etiquette, the kingdom of heaven, how can the people of the country be so insidious and cunning.
"You, what do you want......" Sakurako Sakagami herself may not be aware of it, and her voice now seems to tremble a little.
"You have to be forgiving and forgiving, people come to your house to do business, no matter how big the contradiction is, there is no need to make trouble with each other. Bai Yujing looked at Sakurako Sakagami, who was slightly embarrassed, and said to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man should be a pilgrimage in the store, his eyes are sharp, but he doesn't dare to treat Bai Yujing, who looks like a Taoist priest, like Sakurako Sakagami, who looks a little down-and-out when he comes here to pawn.
He bowed slightly, bowed his hand and said: "Contemptible people are the third counter of our store, surnamed Li, famous Xiu, dare to ask the surname of the elder Zun?" You can ask anyone in Hangzhou Mansion, who doesn't know that the sixth master of our family is righteous and Bo Yuntian. ”
His words seemed to be kind and polite, but in the end, he raised the name of the sixth master, obviously wanting to suppress Bai Yujing and make him not meddle in his affairs.
Bai Yujing smiled faintly, ignored this person, and said with a smile: "This girl, do you need me to help you up?"
Sakurako Sakagami showed a look of gratitude, and when she wanted to stand up, she felt soft all over, and her hands were a little weak. Bai Yujing smiled at the corner of his eyes, and stretched out his right hand to pull her up.
"Thank you, the Daoist. Sakurako Sakagami's face was slightly red, but fortunately, she had already learned the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty, and she spoke far more fluently than that Liu Mingsheng.
Bai Yujing didn't care about her expression, turned to Li Xiu and said, "I think this girl is also a newcomer, if there is any offense, please bear with me." ”
After all, Li Xiu is a businessman, so he immediately laughed and said: "Where is it, the accent of the Taoist chief should not be from our Hangzhou Mansion, I don't know where the teacher is?"
Bai Yujing smiled and said, "Bai Yujing, Gesoshan Mountain, Jiangxi, is poor. ”
Li Xiu suddenly had a pimple in his heart, the Taoist of Ge Soo Mountain. Seeing that he was going to fight for the girl, it was not easy to do it now. If it was normal, Li Xiu would naturally give Bai Yujing a face, after all, Ge Soo Mountain is also one of the three mountains of Daomen.
But the bracelets carved from fire jade are almost priceless, and they are hard to find. Now that it's all in his hands, how can he return it because Bai Yujing is upset, and besides, if this matter spreads, it is not good for the reputation of the pawnshop, it is better to die and not admit it, and I don't think this person can help him.
While he was pondering, Sakurako Sakagami was in a hurry. Uncle Gong Xing was still waiting for money to buy medicine to cure the disease, she said to Bai Yujing: "I also asked this Taoist chief to help evaluate the theory, the little girl, I took the family heirloom fire jade bracelet to pawn, this person actually insisted that it was fake, it is really unreasonable, I don't want him to return it, and even take an ordinary bracelet to deceive me." ”
Li Xiu listened, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. After all, it was a desire for profit, and he smiled at Bai Yujing: "This Dao Chief, take a look for yourself, this bracelet is a natural fire jade? Our Tianyuan Pawnshop has been open for decades, and it has always been a child, if you don't want to be this bracelet girl, I can let you take it back in the face of this Dao Master." However, if we insist on saying that our pawnshop ignores her fire jade bracelet, we will not blame the contemptible people. ”
"You, it's obvious that you transferred the ......" Before Sakurako Sakagami finished speaking, Bai Yujing shouted: "Hugh is talking nonsense." He didn't know whether he was talking nonsense or Li Xiu's nonsense, anyway, Sakagami Sakurako was taken aback by him and didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, Li Xiu's face smiled even more. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, not to mention that the two of you are not crossing the river dragon. This is Hangzhou Mansion, which is the territory of the sixth master.
Bai Yujing smiled: "The jade bracelet is convenient for me to see?"
At this moment, Li Xiu still had any inconvenience, and handed the jade bracelet to Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing took the jade bracelet, didn't look at it, and said again: "Li Chaofeng, isn't it convenient for me to show me your jade bracelet?"
Li Xiu's expression was slightly cold, and he said: "How can this Taoist master say this, the jade bracelet is not in your hand, everyone can see it ......clearly" Before he finished speaking, he was stunned and couldn't say a word.
Sakurako Sakagami also looked stunned, not to mention the crowd who were about to watch the show.
I saw Bai Yujing's right hand holding the jade bracelet gently closed, and the jade bracelet slowly melted like ice and snow, and countless powders fell one after another, and were blown up by the wind. Bai Yujing's expression was indifferent, and he said to Li Xiu again: "Isn't it convenient?" His eyes were warm, but when it fell on Li Xiu, Li Xiu only felt a chill all over his body, and couldn't help but shiver.
It is said that only those first-class masters who have achieved true qi can use their true qi to melt jade and cut gold.
The fact that the person in front of him was obviously not very old, but he could also show such a hand, which really frightened Li Xiu. Such a young first-class master is almost unheard of.
Li Xiu's heart was full of fear at this time, and he trembled all over. He no longer thought about whether he could keep the natural fire jade bracelet, but more about how to calm the anger of the person in front of him. If the sixth master knew that he had offended such a person, maybe his whole family would have to go to West Lake to feed the fish.
"What's going on, Li Xiu, what are you doing here?"
When Li Xiu was about to take out the fire jade bracelet, two men came out of the inner room. One of them was thin, dressed in green clothes and yellow-crowned, looking idle, and the other was dressed as a rich man, with a fat head and big ears, and although his eyes were small, his eyes were very smart, and he seemed to be calculating something all the time, and it was this person who spoke.
When Li Xiu saw this person, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Shopkeeper Yao, they ...... They ...... "stammered for a while, and didn't know what to say."
When the shopkeeper Yao saw him like this, he scolded angrily: "Enough." He waved his hand and beckoned a fellow. The guy didn't wait for Shopkeeper Yao's instructions, and told him everything just now. Of course, Li Xiu did not say anything about the jade bracelet being stolen.
Shopkeeper Yao was also puzzled in his heart at this time, he naturally knew the head of the Tao inside. But Bai Yujing has such cultivation at such a young age, let alone him, even if he is the sixth master, he does not dare to offend easily. His gaze slowly fell on Bai Yujing, and he was about to ask, but he didn't want the thin man beside him to speak first, "Why is Senior Brother Bai here?"
Bai Yujing didn't expect to meet someone from Wuzhong here, this thin man was Zhao Shiquan Zhao Zhenren, one of the three musketeers of Wudang. "Senior Brother Zhao, Sword Casting Villa said goodbye in a hurry, and we met again today, and it was really fateful. ”
"It turned out to be a Wudang apprentice, fortunately, I will be lucky!" said the shopkeeper Yao.
Bai Yujing and Zhao Shiquan looked at each other and smiled, which made Shopkeeper Yao inexplicable for a while. Zhao Shiquan smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Yao, this is Bai Yujing, a disciple of Ge Soshan Quanqingzi. When he said this, he looked at Bai Yujing and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Bai, this is Yao Qiantai, the shopkeeper of this store, he has always been fair, if you have anything to tell him, I think Shopkeeper Yao will definitely help." ”
What he said clearly was to support Bai Yujing, and he even squeezed Yao's shopkeeper.
Shopkeeper Yao only had a wry smile in his heart, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the head of Ge Soo Mountain, disrespectful and disrespectful." He shouted at Li Xiu again: "Why don't you come over and apologize to these two distinguished guests!"
Li Xiu's face turned pale as early as when the shopkeeper Yao came out, and he was even more frightened at this time, so he hurriedly took out the fire jade bracelet hidden in his sleeve, and said to Bai Yujing and Sakurako Sakagami: "It's a small one with eyes and no beads, so you shouldn't be greedy, so give it back to this girl." ”
When Shopkeeper Yao saw him take out the bracelet, he recognized it as a natural fire jade bracelet at a glance, frowned slightly, and stretched it out again. In the surprised gaze of everyone, he suddenly slapped Li Xiu's chest.
Li Xiu's whole person was directly knocked out, spurting out a large mouthful of blood in the air, which seemed to be mixed with broken internal organs.
"Li Xiu, who is a courtier, is really guilty of defrauding guests like this. Shopkeeper Yao said as he walked up to Bai Yujing and the others, and said to Sakurako on Sakagami: "Girl, this is your bracelet, please put it away." Except for Bai Yujing and Zhao Shiquan, no one noticed that he had snatched the fire jade bracelet in his hand before beating Li Xiu.
Although Sakurako Sakagami was shocked by Yao's shopkeeper's hand, she still took the bracelet and said coldly: "Hmph, this kind of person should end up like this." ”
Shopkeeper Yao was not angry, and said casually: "Qian Sheng, give this girl a hundred taels of silver." After speaking, he said to Sakurako Sakagami: "A small gift, please accept it, and it will be regarded as Yao's apology on behalf of the store." ”
Bai Yujing frowned slightly, the shopkeeper Yao in front of him was really not liked by him. And in Sakurako Sakagami's opinion, the courtier of this little pawnshop dared to treat her like this, and she couldn't be forgiven if she died, and the shopkeeper Yao in front of her was not a good character, so he wanted to send her away with a mere one hundred taels of silver, how could it be reasonable!
However, when the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty was delivered to Sakurako Sakagami, she hesitated again. Uncle Gong Xing was severely injured, and without silver taels on his body, he couldn't help him find a doctor and seek medicine. After all, reason prevailed over emotion, and she still accepted the one hundred taels of treasure bills.
The shopkeeper Yao saw that she accepted the treasure banknote and said: "It just so happens that I have prepared a banquet in Tingchun Building, I don't know if Daochang Zhao, Daochang Bai and this girl can reward Yao's thin noodles, so that Yao can do his best as a landlord, and apologize for the unpleasant thing just now." ”
Bai Yujing hurriedly smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Yao is polite, Bai has something to do later, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time." He glanced at Sakurako Sakagami: "This girl, do you want me to give you a ride." But he made up his mind to find the man in white through this girl.
Sakurako Sakagami was slightly stunned when she heard this, and thought to herself that thanks to this Taoist chief for his help just now, she was obviously not a bad person, so she nodded and agreed.
