Chapter 482 Treasure Hunt

In the library lobby, Wu Jinliang was leaning over the counter to chat up the third young lady, Dong Liangying. The topic they were discussing was how to ensure that he really had no odor.

Occasionally, he would be disturbed by scholars who gathered in the hall to chat and discuss everything. Wu Jinliang was a little annoyed by them. These people always seemed to know everything under the sun. Miss Third didn't know if it was because she was in this line of work, but she seemed to be quite fond of them. When she saw someone who could write a good poem, not only would her eyes light up, but she would also offer it to him for free.

Since this was the case, he also wanted to integrate into the group of these scholars. After all, he often came here to read. But in the end, he was discouraged by their poetry and couplets, and finally understood why the boss could only sit in the corner.

The only thing that could comfort him was that even if all these people were combined, he would be able to be killed to pieces.

Of course, there would be moments of gratification occasionally. One time, I heard these scholars talking about Shi Chun, and one person even mentioned his name, Wu Jinliang. I found it quite interesting that even in this remote place, someone had heard of my name!

If you think it through, you won't bother with these scholars anymore.

This time he still failed to win the favor of the third young lady, so he just left.

There is no other way. There are still important matters that the boss has given me to do.

He knew very well that if the magic weapon could be repaired, it would be the most important thing at the moment. The reason why he was dormant was because he was not strong enough, and the magic weapon was also a part of his strength.

It will definitely take them a long time to improve their cultivation, but once they have a batch of high-level magic weapons, they can at least avoid most dangers during the period of time when their cultivation is improved.

Who told them to provoke a lot of difficult people when they were not strong enough?

When Chun Tian heard that An Wuzhi's cultivation had broken through to the Earthly Immortal realm, he suddenly decided to speed up the search for the 'Quesixiang'. He could more or less guess the reason.

You need to have some things that can calm you down.

Soon, the next day, Chu Jingtang, Lao Changtai and Xiao Sheng were ordered to rush to Dazhicheng.

The meeting place was on a slope on the grass outside the city, a slope that could be seen from afar after leaving the city.

Although standing on a high place, it was blocked by tall grass.

The three of them waited quietly for a while, and suddenly there was a rustling sound coming from the swaying grass forest. Not long after, they saw Wu Jinliang riding a thin unicorn horse and passing by.

The three people who were on guard suddenly relaxed their guard and smiled.

Wu Jinliang jumped off his mount in front of the three men, patted his mount, and let it go to eat grass on its own.

The three looked around and didn't see Shi Chun. Chu Jingtang asked curiously, "Where is the boss, Boss Wu?"

This 'Boss Wu' is not Boss Wu in the proper sense, it refers to the fact that Wu Jinliang is taller than them. In addition, it can also satisfy Wu Jinliang's vanity that he is superior to them, so it is a title that both parties can accept.

Wu Jinliang said, "My name here is 'Gao He', and the boss's name here is 'Wang Ping'. If we meet outside, just pretend not to know each other."

"Wang Ping, Gao He." The three of them were whispering, and suddenly they thought of something. They turned their heads one by one, looking at each other.

The three of them were familiar with the names "Wang Sheng" and "Gao Qiang", as they were all victims at the time. Although the incident was over, they wanted to ask, "Can't you guys be more careful when naming people? Are you that lazy?"

"Let's talk business. The boss can't get away right now, so let me tell you..." Wu Jinliang muttered out his plan and conspiracy on the spot.

So a few days later, a store called "Xunbaozhai" opened in Dazhicheng, selling some small treasures from the spiritual world.

It has to be said that after having money, the efficiency of doing things is different. Without the intention of making money, a store can be bought at will. When Shi Chun and Wu Jin were just born in prison, this cost alone was enough for them to struggle for a long time.

As for how the treasures in the store came from, that was even simpler. Master Nan had many similar shops under his name, so Wu Jinliang directly asked Chu Jingtang to pack up a batch of things worth tens of millions.

For those that you don’t pay for, bring them here first and sell them. After you’re done selling them, you can settle the bill with Young Master Nan’s shop. Those that you can’t sell out can be returned.

Originally, Master Nan said it was a free gift, but Shi Chun refused to accept it, saying that things should be treated in a different light.

However, selling rare curios and the like could easily attract people who wanted to take advantage of him, so Young Master Nan secretly contacted his friends here and asked them to help out when necessary.

For such a trivial matter, Master Nan still has a lot of face.

The shop was opened just like that. The three people who ran the shop did not stand in front of the stage. This was also Wu Jinliang's idea. He was afraid that after the reputation of "Que Si Xiang" was spread, it would attract people who had seen Chu Jingtang and the other two. So he could just hire someone to do the things on the surface.

After Xunbaozhai had been open for nearly a month, when Chu Jingtang and his colleagues had a general idea of ​​how to run the store, they released the news of "Quesixiang" at the instruction of Shi Chun.

Within a few days, related discussions appeared in the library.

"Have you heard that there is a treasure shop in the city called Xunbaozhai that sells the Que Si Xiang?"

The sudden sound of discussion made Shi Chunlue, who was sitting in the corner flipping through a book, look up and see a scholar with a beard.

"I heard that it has caused quite a stir. I wanted to go in and see what's going on, but I didn't expect that I couldn't see it for free. I had to pay. It actually cost one gold coin to take a look."

"Yes, they say it's the treasure of the store and they won't sell it. They're only for viewing."

"You're not selling it? You want one gold coin just to take a look at it. You must be crazy about money. No one would waste such money."

The woman who was listening nearby suddenly asked, "Is that the thing that caused the corpse to turn into a corpse in the past?" "Yes, that thing. Even if you give it away, no one would want it. But you have to pay for it. I don't know what they are thinking. It can be seen that it must be a shady shop. Everyone must avoid it when buying things next time."

"Alas, you think too much. That kind of curio shop is not a place for ordinary people like us to spend time."

Shi Chun smiled when he heard this. As far as he knew, there were quite a few people who were willing to spend money to smell the fragrance these days.

After staying here for a long time, I know that I should just listen to what these people say and then lower my head to flip through my own books.

Little did he know that the third lady Dong Liangying behind the counter was secretly observing him behind the vase.

At the beginning, the saying of "Que Si Xiang" did cause a commotion in the city, and many people ran to appreciate it. To be honest, if Master Nan hadn't prepared in advance and helped find someone to say hello, something might have really happened.

Because some people don't care whether the "Que Si Xiang" is real or fake, they want to take it away to appreciate it.

As time went by, after a month or so, the heat of this matter gradually died down, at least in the big cities, it was no longer a topic of discussion.

The results were not ideal. After such a long time, no obviously suspicious people were found.

Wu Jinliang also doubted whether this method was effective and hesitated whether to continue running the store, especially when there were rumors that "Que Si Xiang" was a fake and that Xunbaozhai was cheating people out of money.

For this reason, he took the opportunity of going to the library to eat and pulled Shi Chun to the back yard to talk out his doubts.

Shi Chun thought for a moment and said, "We really don't have any other options at the moment. We are all idle anyway, so why not close the shop? Let's keep it open and wait. Rumors about fakes shouldn't bother people who are really related to 'Que Si Xiang'. If it were me, the more people there are about its authenticity, the more I would want to confirm it myself."

Wu Jinliang thought about it and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll tell them later."

Shi Chun: "Is Chu Jingtang and the others mistaken?"

Wu Jinliang: "That shouldn't happen. I've told them repeatedly that the three of them will take turns on duty and won't miss anyone. They still have some ability to identify, so don't worry."

After the two of them finalized the matter, they just walked back to the backyard door when they suddenly heard Dong Liangying calling "Dad" from the front hall.

Then a man's voice said, "Why are you alone? Where is Wang Ping?"

When Wu Jinliang heard this, his face changed drastically and he said softly, "Oh no, I bought the vegetables for nothing."

Then he turned around and ran, not going out the main gate, but climbing over the wall in the yard and running away. This caused the civet cat that was watching over the house to meow as if to alert the police, and scared Wu Jinliang so much that he jumped into the alley and ran even faster.

After returning to the street, he finally calmed down. Just as he was about to leave the city and return to the horse farm, he took a few steps and hit his forehead again. He almost forgot about the important matter he had just talked about with Shi Chun. He felt that he should explain it to Chu Jingtang and the others in person.

Let's go find something to eat as I left some food for yesterday.

He walked all the way to the entrance of Xunbaozhai. After all, it was his own shop, so he had the mentality of inspecting it. He couldn't help but stand outside on the street and look the shop sign up and down carefully. If he found any problems, he would remind Chu Jingtang and others to correct them.

Before he could even walk towards the shop door, he heard a familiar hissing voice from behind him, calling him, "Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao, here."

Looking back, Wu Jinliang locked onto a snack stand diagonally opposite Xunbaozhai. He saw a skinny old man waving at him under the stand.

The old man really didn't look that good, with a pointed face, shifty eyes, two yellow mustaches, a small tuft of mustache on his chin, and a sly smile on his face.

The old man had a rather feminine name, Huang Yingying. He was a demon cultivator and the husband of the owner of a spiritual rice shop in the city, the kind who married into the family.

He was a like-minded friend of Wu Jinliang here, and they met in a brothel.

They first met in a brothel. No matter whether they knew each other or not, Huang Yingying was panicked by the brothel and happened to run into Wu Jinliang coming in. She fell to her knees, hugged Wu Jinliang's thigh and asked for help, and wanted to borrow money from Wu Jinliang.

If you owe money to a brothel, you can't delay it, otherwise you will go to Lingmi Shop to ask the proprietress to collect the debt.

The point is, does Wu Jinliang look that stupid? Of course he won't lend it to him, just let him die and kick him away.

Unexpectedly, Huang Yingying saw that he was from another place, and she tried to use force when she tried to deal with him softly. Wu Jinliang kicked her and she fell to the ground wailing. She was acting like a rogue and shouted that someone was going to hit her.

Wu Jinliang is no pushover either, but this time he's going to fall for it.

There was no other way. He had to conceal his identity and did not want to make a name for himself in the brothel, fearing that it would affect his image in front of the three sisters in the library. In the end, he suffered a loss and gave twenty sandalwood gold coins to settle the matter peacefully.

Later, Huang Yingying's situation was also clarified.

With this background, you dare to cheat me?

Wu Jinliang immediately retaliated.

The next day, Huang Yingying was caught in a black cloth bag while walking on the street. She was kidnapped before she knew what was going on. She was taken out of the city and beaten violently. Only after the beating did she see who had kidnapped her.

Wu Jin put two knives to his neck and forced him to write an IOU for one thousand gold coins. If he dared not to pay, he would ask his wife to collect it and have a good argument with her about the brothel.
