Chapter 4
Chapter 4
There is no dawn in the capital.
After the curfew is over, there is a busy city, and there is only a faint light in the sky, and the streets are already full of people carrying buckets or carrying poles on their shoulders.
There are also drunken drunkards crawling out from the streets and alleys, with "bastard" written in ink on the left face, and a bastard drawn in ink on the right face.
The passing young man said with a pure Mandarin accent, "Where are you going, bastard?"
Dawang Badao: "Go to the place with the most exquisite jewelry in the world."
In an official dialect: "Then you went wrong, the Yan family in Guanzhong has the most jewels." This is Yingtian Mansion, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Guanzhong.
Dawang Badao: "It's your fault." He raised his head, his eyes were clear, he didn't look drunk, but when he looked closely, his eyes were half-closed again, the red around the corners of his eyes, making his eyes hazy with drunkenness.
He said: "The Yan family in Guanzhong is the place with the most jewels, but what I'm looking for is the most delicate jewels."
There was a burst of melancholy voices behind him, and it was only then that he realized in Mandarin that the man stumbled out, but it was the most famous alley, which stood on the bank of the Qinhuai River, and all the girls in it were pretty, with snow-white thighs and smoky hair. Black hair, plump body covered by thin fabrics, just thinking about it, drooling and swallowing.
The women there deserve to wear the finest and most flamboyant jewellery.
In the early morning, the girls in the alley were supposed to be resting on the bed, but someone who had a leisurely heart picked up the pipa and sang in a hoarse voice: "The hills overlap and the golden light fades away, and the clouds on the temples want to burn the fragrant cheeks and snow."
The hills overlap with golden lights, is there really such a delicate jewel?
The young man said: "Yes."
Looking back in Mandarin, it was a very handsome young man who spoke. He had thick eyebrows, thick and long eyelashes, and two neatly trimmed beards under his nose, which were exactly the same as his eyebrows.
The young man's eyes were very clear and agile, as if they were shining all the time.
He stretched out two fingers, smoothed the two extra eyebrows in satisfaction, and said, "The most exquisite jewelry is in Jin Mingmi."
Jin Mingmie was the name of a jewelry shop in Yingtianfu, and it was obtained from the last three characters in "Jin Mingmie Overlapping Hills", but because of taboo, "Ming" was changed to "Ming".
The shopkeeper is a short and fat middle-aged man, his face is neither white nor dark, but he always wears a kind smile, round and round, softer than steamed buns.
But his softness is only a smile, not his whole body, and the shrewd light that is unique to businessmen always flashes in his half-length eyes.
If you think he is a kind and soft guy, then you are probably the biggest fool in the world.
No one knows how Jin Mingmie appeared, it was as if a house was built on the ground overnight, with a shopkeeper, servants, and all kinds of rare treasures, such as fist-sized pearls, tubular red corals over a century old, and layers of treasures. Nobile piled up with clusters of flowers.
No beauty-loving woman can resist the temptation of these jewels, not even men.
Emerald fingers and pure jade feathers, even Huo Xiu, who has seen all the good things in the world, couldn't help but praise the good things when he saw them.
It is a great thing to be amazed by Huo Xiu. He has seen too many good things. Even the wooden chair under his seat is a rare thing carved by the famous craftsman Lu Zhi himself for the emperor hundreds of years ago. To him, it was nothing more than a chair that could be smashed into pieces at any time.
Although I don't know who the master behind Jin Mingmie is, the shopkeeper here is probably a very rich man.
The young man with four eyebrows said: "But the terrific rich man died."
Lu Xiaofeng appeared in front of the Jewelry Pavilion. The scale of this store is really too big. Only several yards with three entrances and three exits can be built together to equal the size of the store. As for the decorations, carved beams and tiles, all of them are exquisite , although it doesn't look "expensive" like the Jewelry Pavilion, in the eyes of knowledgeable people, the value is also worth mentioning.
It's noon. Normally, at this time, the shop is full of people, filling up the yards that go in and out, but today, the guys are standing at the door anxiously. The dead body was put down from the eaves, but how to deal with it has not yet come up with specific regulations.
The shopkeeper's face, which was neither black nor white, showed an iron-like bluish white, which was the unique color of the dead. It was covered with a white cloth and placed in the warehouse that had just been vacated.
Lu Xiaofeng is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business, but it is a pity that he is a young man, and young people like to bet with others. Circle, these are common lottery heads.
He made a bet yesterday to see who could catch more grasshoppers within an hour. Lu Xiaofeng caught three hundred and one grasshoppers, while the bettor caught three hundred and two grasshoppers. After gambling for a while, Caitou hadn't thought about it yet, and happened to see Jin Mingmie's shopkeeper hanging a southeast branch in front of the door early in the morning, he simply pointed at it, and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "Just find out how he died. "
The man with four eyebrows laughed dryly immediately, the other party might have pointed at him casually, but he couldn't check it casually.
His instinct told himself that this must be a big problem.
Lu Xiaofeng walked around twice before Jin Ming disappeared, the shopkeeper died suddenly and strangely, the staff didn't dare to act rashly for a while, someone found a flying pigeon, and stuffed a note full of words in the small bamboo pot on his feet.
When the cage is opened, the pigeon is like a runaway wild horse, flapping its wings and flying towards the sky.
Most of these guys are locals.Local people, it is naturally impossible to know the boss behind Jin Mingmie. The boss is too mysterious. No one knows what he looks like, nor does he know whether he has ever entered the store. The only person who knows the boss is probably dead. The shopkeeper, and the moon girl.
Miss Yue is a very beautiful woman, she always wears a white dress, and the bamboo hat on her head is half-hidden, and her pair of watery eyes can be seen through the light veil.
But she is not a gentle woman. If you meet her eyes, you can see the ice that has not melted for years.
No buddy dared to talk to her, firstly because Jin Mingmie's system was strict, and secondly because she was really not a woman to be messed with, if you had better eyesight, you would find that the belt around her waist was not a belt, But soft sword.
Miss Yue used a soft sword to deal with hooligans once, and she is still the kind who has practiced martial arts for a few days. After all, such a big shop, with so many middle-aged men, would not dare to do anything in front of the shop without two brushes.
In the downtown area at the foot of the Son of Heaven, people in the world still need to restrain themselves.
People in the world who can make troubles are definitely not masters in the conventional sense. If they really want to be defined, they are probably what historians call knight-errants. , only a brute force.
Jin Mingmie's background is mysterious enough. At first glance, it seems that no one is covering it. It seems to be just an ordinary shop. There is no martial arts master among the staff. The shopkeeper looks rich, but he is just an ordinary person with no power , rather than a hidden chivalrous man.
Ordinary people with a lot of money in their hands are always envious. This group of local hooligans dare not go to other houses with backgrounds, so they have Jin Mingmie's idea.
Not long after Miss Yue came out of the shop, she bumped into this group of men head-on. The leader was a burly man with a dark face and a shallow scratch on the corner of his eye. It is said that he was a "green forest hero" in his early years. It's his badge.
People in the streets and alleys laughed at him as a "black mangy". It is true that his face is dark, but there is a patch of jaundice on his head. Because of this not very powerful feature, men always tie their hair in a high bun. , so that yellow tinea can be hidden in the hair.
Hei Manzi didn't think too much when he saw Miss Yue coming out of the shop, he just regarded her as an ordinary son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and he was afraid that others would not know what he and his brothers were going to do. Rare and rare treasures, how many gold ingots can Huahua get in exchange for him to borrow two.
Hei Manzi said: "You don't know, last time the old man in Dongtou bought a small hairpin and gave it to his old friend on the Qinhuai River, and it cost four 50 taels of gold ingots." A beam of joy and saliva flying everywhere, as if seeing Jin Mingmie's warehouse full of countless gold.
Miss Yue stopped immediately when she heard his words, but she didn't speak or make a move, she just stood quietly, watching the group of people walking towards the shop, and then yelling, although she was beaten by a strong man The clerk blocked the door, but it also disturbed the distinguished guests.
A guy said, "Do you know where this is?"
Hei Manzi said: "I don't care where your grandfather is."
Miss Yue appeared again, took off the soft sword wrapped around her waist, and held it in her hand. Without saying a word, she abruptly snapped off the troublemaker's tendons. Her sword was used very well and quickly, Not many men in the arena can surpass her.
The man was stunned, stunned like a log, staring at the woman whose face was covered by a white veil, but didn't speak, and after a while, he murmured: "Miss Yue."
Nothing else could be said.
The shopkeeper hurried out and said, "I'm sorry for your trouble, Miss Yue." His attitude was very respectful, even if his father stood in front of him, he might not be so humble.
Moon Girl said: "Nothing."
She left like a fairy in the sky.
After listening to the clerk's narration, Lu Xiaofeng tugged at his proud mustache and said, "How often does Miss Yue come here?"
The guy said: "Once a month, no more, no less."
Lu Xiaofeng said again: "When was the last time she came?"
The guy said, "About a week ago."
Lu Xiaofeng said: "Okay." Then he left the shop, leaving Monk Zhang Er who was confused.
The man chased him out the door and said, "Where are you going?"
Lu Xiaofeng turned around and smiled, "Go to Miss Yue."
