Chapter 483: Partnering to Open Your Eyes
Anyway, the two of them got to know each other through fighting.

As for the money owed on the IOU, it has not been paid off to this day because Huang Yingying really cannot afford to pay it back. His wife is too tight with money and he is henpecked, so he can only steal a few bags of spiritual rice whenever he gets the chance to pay off the debt for Wu Jinliang.

It would be fine if he could have something to slowly pay off the debt, which Wu Jinliang could accept. However, he couldn't finish it all by himself, so he gave some to the library. However, he couldn't always send rice to the library, otherwise it would be difficult to explain where it came from, so he stored a lot of spiritual rice in the storage bag on his body.

After a few interactions and sharing common interests, we became familiar with each other.

Wu Jinliang was somewhat surprised to see the old guy still hanging around outside at dinner time, but he was not afraid of being roared to death by the tigress.

He walked into the snack stand, glanced at the eaten dishes, and snorted, "Old Huang, you don't have money to pay your debts, but you have money to come out and eat at the stall."

Huang Yingying sighed and said, "You know how much money I have, so I have to keep some for running errands. How about a bowl of fish soup? It's my treat."

It just so happened that his stomach was empty, and it was rare for the other party to be so generous, so Wu Jinliang sat opposite him, tacitly agreeing to the other party's invitation.

Huang Yingying immediately waved and greeted, "Boss, give me a bowl of fish soup."

Soon, the fresh, fragrant, tender and charming fish soup was served on the table. Wu Jinliang was not polite. The old man was shameless and took advantage of his opportunity. He held the bowl and started slurping along the edge of the bowl.

Huang Yingying watched him eat with a smile. Although he was not very polite, she did not dare to look down on him.

Although he didn't know why Wu Jinliang had fallen to the point of doing odd jobs in the horse farm, he knew from the moment he was kidnapped that this was a ruthless person. In broad daylight, he ignored the city's rules and dared to kidnap people on the streets of the city. How brave must one be to do such a thing?
The point is that he didn't even know how he was tied up. Suddenly he felt his body unable to move, and before he could react, a black bag was put over his head and he passed out.

Afterwards, the other party did not seem to be in the least flustered. After kidnapping the person, he used a series of tricks. It was clear after a little thought that this was not the first time he had done such a thing.

After Wu Jinliang finished half of his bowl, Huang Yingying whispered to Xunbaozhai, "I heard that Xunbaozhai has a treasure that is the most precious item in the store. There are rumors everywhere that it is a fake, but Xunbaozhai has no intention of putting it away and is still showing it off. Are you interested in taking a look?"

Angtian burped, and Wu Jinliang, who was about to pick up the bowl again, was slightly startled. Of course, he knew what the treasure of Xunbaozhai was. He blinked and said, "I want a gold coin just for one look. I can't afford it."

Although he is worth over 100 million yuan, he still has to maintain his image as an ordinary person.

Huang Yingying, who was sitting across the table, raised her head and whispered, "I've asked around. One gold coin is for one viewing. People are allowed to have a companion. Two people are allowed to go in at the same time to watch the show."

Wu Jinliang knew this rule, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Huang Yingying sighed, "We live day after day, and our days are never the same. How boring! Anyway, I am stuck in this small piece of land for the rest of my life. If something new comes to the city, I have to go and see it. As long as I can join in the fun, I will never miss it."

Wu Jinliang knew that the item was fake and that there was no need to spend money to see it, but he couldn't possibly remind the other party, so he said indifferently: "If you despise it, don't tell me. If you want to see it, go and see it yourself."

Huang Yingying whispered, "We are short of money, so let's split the difference, each paying half, and go in together to broaden our horizons."

Wu Jinliang thought it was funny. "What does it matter whether you look at that thing or not? Does it help you grow more flesh or improve your cultivation? There's absolutely no need to spend that money." After saying that, he continued to sip his fish soup.

Huang Yingying: "That's not what I mean. It's called knowledge. For example, the three beauties in the library are all people who have read thousands of books. If you go and tell them something, they may not be interested in talking to you. But if you say that you have been to Xunbaozhai and seen 'Que Si Xiang', they will definitely be curious. At least they will take the initiative to ask you what you are like. Isn't that something to talk about? Although you are poor, you are willing to spend money to buy knowledge. If you say this, they will look at you with a higher regard, right?"

He understood Wu Jinliang's thoughts. There was nothing he could do about it. Wu Jinliang had asked him to touch the three sisters before, and they had common hobbies. He also witnessed Wu Jinliang flirting with Dong Liangying. It would be strange if he didn't know his little thoughts.

The words hit the nail on the head. Wu Jinliang paused with the bowl in his hand and raised his eyebrows in thought.

Although you can tell what the "Que Si Xiang" in Xunbaozhai is without spending any money, it is naturally better to have a spending process with evidence.

It's possible to spend a little money and find a topic to chat with the three sisters.

So he took another sip from the bowl, then said slowly, "I can't help it. I didn't bring enough money."

You are kidding me, Huang Yingying glared at him. She didn't believe that a man who earned two hundred gold coins a month could not come up with fifty coins. But she didn't argue. She had suffered so many losses that she knew that this guy could only be played with in a favorable way and not against him.

He gritted his teeth, took out his purse, and poured out all the change in the purse. Then he piled up the coins in front of Wu Jinliang, ten at a time. Finally, he pointed at the coins and said, "Our meal money, minus fourteen, there are sixty-one left. I'll pay sixty-one and you'll pay thirty-nine. Go or not, forget it."

Wu Jinliang said slowly: "Don't act like you've been taken advantage of. It doesn't matter whether I watch it or not. I accompanied you to watch it and even paid for it. You're getting the better deal, so just be happy." After saying that, he picked up the bowl and started talking again.

After filling their stomachs with a bowl of food, the two of them ran to Xunbaozhai.

When a customer came, the shop assistants greeted him warmly, but those working at the front desk did not know Wu Jinliang.

The hall was filled with all kinds of treasures, but the two guests had no interest in them and went straight to the "Que Si Xiang" to pay. "Two pilgrims!" A waiter sang loudly, then lifted the curtain and led the two guests to the back hall.

The back hall is elegant and bright, with dedicated waiters to greet guests.

Chu Jingtang, who was on duty in the dark room, heard that a guest had arrived, and immediately moved closer to the hole where he could spy on the guest. It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but when he did, he was stunned. How could he not know Wu Jinliang if he didn't know anyone else? That thick-browed and big-eyed person couldn't be faked.

He even paid to bring someone along? His attention immediately focused on the shifty old man, who had no idea of ​​his origins, but who actually asked Wu Heihei to accompany him.

After paying, there was no tricky things in the back hall. The waiter just took out the Qiankun bag, and then took out a box from the bag. When he opened the box, there was an iron box. When he opened the iron box, there was a sealed silver bottle.

Wu Jinliang was more stylish than Huang Yingying, so the waiter held up the silver bottle and showed it to Wu Jinliang, "Dear guest, this is the 'Que Si Xiang', it's a good thing, please have a look."

Unexpectedly, Wu Jinliang gestured to Huang Yingying below and asked him to look first.

Huang Yingying was not polite either. He took the silver bottle and opened the seal. A refreshing fragrance came out. He frowned slightly, shook the silver bottle, then squinted his eyes to look at the contents of the bottle for a few times, and then put it to his nose and sniffed it.

Then he looked at the waiter in silence for a few seconds, said nothing, and gave the silver bottle to Wu Jinliang.

Wu Jinliang took it and just looked at it and sniffed it, pretending to ask, "Can this thing really induce corpse transformation?"

The guy said cheerfully, "I haven't seen it either. Different people have different opinions."

He was smiling on the outside but cursing in his heart. After working in the shop for a while, he realized that his boss was cheating people by selling fake goods.

"This only cost one gold coin?" Wu Jinliang said, looking at Huang Yingying, "Do you still want to watch?"

Huang Yingying shook her head. "Forget it. That's it. I don't understand it either."

So Wu Jinliang returned the things to the clerk, and then the money they had saved was used up, and after leaving Xunbaozhai, they looked at each other in emptiness.

After scolding Huang Yingying, Wu Jinliang parted ways with her, but did not leave. Instead, he walked through the streets and went around to the back of Xunbaozhai.

Zi Mu Fu sent a message and the person arrived at the back door. Xiao Sheng, who was waiting there, opened the back door and let him in.

When they arrived at the secret room of Xunbaozhai, Chu Jingtang and Lao Changtai were already waiting there.

"What's the situation with that old man? Why did he come with you?" Chu Jingtang asked as soon as they met.

Wu Jinliang chuckled and said, "Nothing, just an old hand."

Chu Jingtang's next words stunned him, "He is the most suspicious. Since you know him, you didn't send anyone to follow him. You should know where he lives, right?"

"..." Wu Jinliang was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing, "Him? You said he is the most suspicious?"

"Yes." Chu Jingtang explained, "Anyone who comes to see 'Que Si Xiang' will more or less express some doubts or questions after seeing it, or at least ask a few questions. Even those who were suspicious before would not be like him who remained silent after seeing it. He is really the only one so far."

Lao Changtai also hummed and said, "It's really unusual that he doesn't have any doubts. I can totally suspect that he may have seen the real 'Que Si Xiang' and knew it was fake after just one look. So he doesn't doubt that our 'Que Si Xiang' is fake."

Wu Jinliang smiled and shook his head, "You don't know his situation. It's impossible for him to keep silent. It may be because I'm here. It's not his turn to speak when I'm here."

Chu Jingtang was suspicious, "Boss Wu, didn't you bring him here because you already suspected him?"

"It's not that I brought him here. We met and he wanted to broaden his horizons. He didn't have enough money, so he chipped in with me..." Wu Jinliang was stunned as he explained, and asked, "You guys don't look at him differently because of this, do you?"

Xiao Sheng hesitated and said, "It's even more abnormal to come and see this when you don't have enough money. Boss Wu, do you think this is normal?"

Wu Jinliang waved his hands again, "I know what you mean, but it's really impossible for him to do that. As I said before, you don't know his situation. If he could have the 'Que Si Xiang', I guarantee that he would immediately break up with his tigress and sell the 'Que Si Xiang' for money to live a good life."

Now that he said that, what else can we say?
However, Xiao Sheng still expressed his doubts, "Boss Wu, why did you come with him to see this?"

Wu Jin rolled his eyes, but he naturally wouldn't reveal his little thoughts. He laughed and said, "I'm talking to you, you won't suspect me too, right?" He waved his hand and said as if to let it go, "Let's get down to business. The boss said that the more rumors about fake goods spread outside, the more likely the people we're looking for will come to our store. I want you to cheer up and continue to run the shop. Also, those suspicious people need to continue to be watched, and we'll find a chance to confirm them together later."
