Chapter 23 The Black Market

The next day, I woke up early in the morning.

Ai Ming stretched out an arm from the warm quilt, grabbed the horizontal bar at the head of the bed and pulled it hard, whispering, it felt so comfortable. Yesterday was so exciting, and he still felt sore and his back was sore and his whole body was not strong.

"Lao Jia, Lao Jia." Ai Ming shouted.

The door opened and the soldier came in. "Master, you're awake, why don't you lie down for a while?"

Ai Ming lifted the quilt, turned over and got out of bed, stretched, grabbed the hair that was similar to a chicken coop, and yawned, and then completed the procedure of getting up. Soldier Arms smiled and took Ai Ming's clothes and put them on.

When Ai Ming was dressed neatly, he looked at the soldier armor strangely. Why is the soldier armor so diligent today? I have never seen him like this before. So, the soldier armor brought toiletries from the side again. What's wrong, today, the sun came out from the west?

Okay, enjoy it first, but I don’t have any treatment, and sometimes I have to wake him up. I first apply some pancreas to apply it on my face, it’s very hot, it’s good; yo, even the green salt for brushing teeth is ready. This is not ordinary salt, it is specially made from the lagoon on the Gulu Plateau. Since I bought it, I don’t know where it was thrown, and I don’t know how the soldier armor was found. Good.

After Ai Ming finished washing up, the soldier had packed up his things, walked behind Ai Ming who was looking in the mirror, and said, "Master, your newly hired butler Qingye is waiting outside to see you. Do you see if you meet?"

Ai Ming then remembered that he brought someone back yesterday and looked back at the Soldier Armor. No wonder Soldier Armor is so attentive today, so he has motivation.

He walked slowly out of the bedroom and came to the central hall. Qingye Zai was waiting for where he was. He ignored Qingye and walked slowly to his seat and sat down. There were soldiers next to him who had already prepared tea. Ai Ming took the tea and took a sip, closed his eyes and savored it carefully.

"Qingye." Ai Ming suddenly spoke.

"Master, you told me that the young man is here to stay." Qingye was a little funny to see Ai Ming pretending to be on top, but his years of experience in officialdom have been calm and calm.

"When I go to the Law Office for a visit, I think you know that I am not familiar with the things in the kushi department. I'm asking you to come here for this reason. You don't have to worry about other things. Just help me get things done. It's up to you to help me get promoted or make money in the future." Ai Ming did not ask Qingye to hand over the money he had hidden secretly when he was a deacon of the Ning Chengdu Military Prefecture Treasury, and he didn't want to mention it again in the future. Although he has no experience in managing people, he still knows that he has to do his best to his subordinates so that the people under his command can be faithful. Moreover, when Qingye was a deacon of the Ning Chengdu Military Prefecture Treasury Department, he was greedy no matter how much money he could get, compared to the money that Shenjiying Law Office in the kushi department, which is more oily and water-rich, it's just a drizzle. As long as he can do his best to help himself in the future, there is no need to peek at Qingye's money for his life.

"Yes, Master, don't worry, the young man will do his job well and will not lose your face." Qingye is not a fool either. In his opinion, Ai Ming is really tender and powerful. It's really strange how he could climb to such a high position.

Ai Ming was very satisfied. Qingye was so clever. He understood everything he meant. The two chatted for a few more words, got to know each other, Ai Ming explained a few things to pay attention to at work, etc. Both the master and servant said something heart-wrenching, and they were moved by each other. At least on the surface, they were spiritually connected.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ai Ming took Qingye out and walked towards the Shenjiying Law Hall. When he was out, Soldier Ar held Qingye's hand and gave him some advice, and said a lot of nonsense, such as serving the marquis and masters. Ai Ming felt a little strange at first. Soldier Ar was so hostile to Qingye yesterday, so why did he get better today? Thinking about it, he felt relieved. After all, Qingye had been an official for many years, and he had been practicing with his good kung fu. He could only please Soldier Ar, a rude man, and wouldn't he be able to please Soldier Ar, who was a rude man.

Ai Ming took Qingye to have some breakfast at the stall in the morning market. There was no way. The family was full of men and no one could cook, so he had to find food at the morning market. After the meal, the two of them went to the Shenjiying Law and Staff Department to report.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the secretary was already sitting on his desk doing things.

"Xiao Zhao, come in." Ai Ming said to his secretary Xiao Zhao, then pushed open the door of the inner room and went in, and sat down on the chair. In fact, Secretary Xiao Zhao was much bigger than Ai Ming, but Ai Ming was at his superior after all, so he was fully qualified to call him Xiao Zhao.

"Sir Ai, what are you asking for me?" Xiao Zhao came in, stood in front of Ai Ming, glanced at Qing Ye next to him, and Qing Ye bowed slightly, saying hello.

Ai Ming said oh, picked up the materials placed on the table and looked at it for a while, then raised his head and said, "This is the butler I just hired, named Qingye. From now on, you can work hard and get things done in the department. Do you know?" It's not a word, but everyone knows it, so I'll just say it outright.

Xiao Zhao immediately responded, "Yes." After saying that, he turned around, bowed to Qingye, and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Qing. I'm going to Zhao Yinghe. Please take care of him in the future." Xiao Zhao sneered in his heart, why did you know that he was incompetent and found a helper? Is it useful? The warehouse department has many factions, each with its own chassis, and cannot insert needles or water. What can a mere housekeeper do? It's good that this is the case. Qingye also looks like a knowledgeable person, and at least he doesn't have to play the piano against a cow in the future.

"I dare not, I dare not. In the future, everyone will do things together. Please take care of Major Zhao." Qingye smiled brightly, and seemed to be extremely sincere. He also held the Major's hand and made people suspect that he had a homosexual tendency, because Major is the more handsome one among men.

"Okay, okay, Qingye, go out with Xiao Zhao to get to know the work." Ai Ming couldn't stand it anymore. Qingye was too artificial and stingy.

"Yes." Qingye finally let go of the major's hand and bowed to Ai Ming.

"Sir, then we'll go out first." The major shook off the goosebumps and said to Ai Ming.

Ai Ming nodded and watched the two of them leave the door. After the door was closed, he breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the chair. It was so troublesome, he could see Ye's ability clearly.

It is very common for officials in this country to let their confidants help do things. After all, not everyone in high positions has the ability to take charge of the overall situation. Everyone is not surprised, but is very popular. It is better to do this than to suffer with a superior who knows nothing.

I was waiting for the good news from Qingye. If Ai Ming had gone out for a long time, it would not work now. Ai Ming had to flip around and move around to pass the time. While I was impatient, Qingye's voice finally came from outside. Ai Ming was energetic. After Qingye shouting for reports, he quickly called Qingye in.

"How is it? Are you still used to it?" Ai Ming sat upright behind the desk, crossed his hands in his dantian, and asked calmly.

"My colleagues are all very polite, and they promised to cooperate with me well in the future and get along with them very happily." Qingye looked very happy, but this might be superficial. "Also, the young man promised them to go back to Yanlou to treat him at noon today. I hope you can approve it."

OK, it started well, Ai Ming was very satisfied, but he was a little unhappy when he heard that he wanted to go to Huiyanlou to treat him. Huiyanlou is the best restaurant in this area, and the price is the best, so he couldn't bear to pay. "It's done well, but I won't go to Huiyanlou. You can go, how much has it been spent, and you'll be reimbursed after you come back."

Qingye was secretly amused. It seemed that the master was still very concerned about the money in his pocket. He really looked down on him just now. Doesn’t the master know what it means to eat and drink on public funds? There is no need to pay out his own pocket. "Don't worry, I'll be a little boy. I must do my best."

"Okay, stay here, wait until you go home by yourself, I'll go out for a walk." Seeing that everything had been done, Ai Ming was not looking for a chance to go out, and he was almost exhausted here.

"Master, please go slowly." After Qingye sent Ai Ming out, he returned to the house and began to think about what to do next.

Ai Ming saw that it was still early, and it was not the time agreed upon by Feng Xiaoyu and others, but there was nothing to do, so he walked slowly on the street and wasted time. However, the teahouse that they had agreed to meet was too close to the Lushi Hall, and he arrived in a short while.

"Oh, guests, you are here, please come upstairs." When the waiter saw Ai Ming coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him. There are two floors in this teahouse, more than one floor is a place where the rice shopkeepers drink, and the second floor is where people with status and status like Ai Ming should stay.

Ai Ming went up to the second floor, sat in a conspicuous place, ordered jasmine tea and a few pastries, and waited while drinking tea.

"Oh, it turns out that Brother Ai has arrived early. Do you miss your sister?"

I don’t know how long I waited, but I just changed the tea in the cup for three times. Ai Ming heard someone talking behind him, and he heard the sound that it was Fairy Xue Lan. When he turned around, he saw that it was Fairy Xue Lan.

"Of course I miss my sister. I didn't sleep well last night. I have to pay me a lot." Somehow, Ai Ming, who is a little bit clumsy, wanted to speak up as soon as he saw Fairy Xue Lan. This was related to Fairy Xue Lan's charming expression and seductive tone.

"Hehe, my brother is so bad. I want to eat my sister's tofu. Are your teeth tenderer?" Fairy Xue Lan sat down next to Ai Ming, put her face in front of Ai Ming and said, then straightened her waist and smiled, trembling.

Although Ai Ming wanted to make a few more jokes, his skills were too poor, and he couldn't stand the great feeling of Fairy Xue Lan. He looked around with guilt. It was not time to get guests, so there were not many guests on the second floor. But the hot eyes of these guests also made Ai Ming blush. "Sister is joking, but I dare not." After saying that, his head was almost the same as his wife.

"Hehe..." Fairy Xue Lan almost broke her anger when she smiled. This little brother Ai Ming was really fun. She hadn't seen a innocent young man for a long time, which made her feel very interesting.

"This guest, what do you want to eat? We have the fog and rain tea we just shipped here, so why not try it." At this time, the little guy ran over happily and was diligent in fairy Xuelan.

"No need, brother, let's go, sister will take you to a good place." Fairy Xue Lan finally stopped laughing and said to Ai Ming.

"Where are you going? By the way, Brother Feng and the others." Ai Ming then realized that Feng Xiaoyu and others did not come.

"They can't come if they have something to do. I'll be happy to accompany you today." Fairy Xue Lan became more and more provocative when she saw that Ai Ming was so fascinated by her.

"Happy, happy." Ai Mingcai didn't care whether Feng Xiaoyu and others came or not, and he wanted them not to come. Now his mind was all on Fairy Xue Lan.

"Let's go." Fairy Xue Lan grabbed Ai Ming's hand and stood up and said.

Woo~~~~~ The beauty holds hands, it's so smooth and warm. She's so careful that she can't stand it anymore. Ai Ming stood up in a daze and was pulled out by Fairy Xue Lan.

"Hotel, you haven't paid the tea yet." The waiter saw Ai Ming and the others who were about to go downstairs and didn't show that they wanted to pay. He hurriedly stepped forward and spoke in his heart, "Who is it? When he sees a girl, he can't walk anymore and wants someone to pull him away, and he doesn't see how old he is, he is shameless and innocent, and has a soft meal. Oh, why is it not me who is pulled by me?"

Fairy Xue Lan turned his head to look at Ai Ming. Seeing that he had not heard the waiter's words at all, he just lowered his head and stared at the hand being pulled. He couldn't help but feel funny. So he took out a string of copper coins and handed them to the waiter, pulling Ai Ming down the stairs like he was pulling his good son.

Woo~~~~~~ The beauty's money, and the body temperature in her arms, is so warm. The waiter looked at the money handed over by Fairy Xue Lan in his hand, and was very moved, determined to intercept the money and love her well.

"Brother, we are here." Fairy Xue Lan said to Ai Ming gently, holding Ai Ming's hand and pinching it hard.

"Have it? What's it?" Ai Ming looked up at Fairy Xue Lan in a daze, and saw Fairy Xue Lan standing there with a clever smile. It was so beautiful.

Seeing that Ai Ming showed no sign of awakeness, Fairy Xue Lan shook her head helplessly and had to say, "We are here. Don't you want to repair the Fentian Seal? Just here." She felt very proud of her charm.

Fentian Seal, Ai Ming woke up. Fentian Seal is his favorite magic weapon, much more important than beauties. "Can the Fentian Seal be repaired here?" Ai Ming asked. He looked up and found that it was a shop with the big words "Yulongqing Antiques Store" written on the plaque above his head.

"Come in." Fairy Xue Lan pulled Ai Ming into it.

This antique shop is very large and is filled with bronzes, pottery, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, and four treasures of the study, which makes people dazzled.

"You are here, please come inside." The antique shop saw that a guest had arrived and walked up to greet him.

Fairy Xue Lan ignored the guy and walked straight in. The guy followed behind. Seeing that the two of them did not stop in the store, they pushed in directly at the back door, and then stopped. There was a garden here with many portals. Fairy Xue Lan looked at the bracelet on her wrist and walked. Ai Ming followed Fairy Xue Lan and turned around, making her head dizzy when she walked away. She finally stopped in front of a room. Fairy Xue Lan did not enter the room, but looked around, and then made a few gestures. The stairs under the room collapsed with a "slam", revealing a hole, which scared Ai Ming.

Fairy Xue Lan waved to Ai Ming and walked towards the entrance of the cave first. Ai Ming carefully walked into the entrance of the cave, only to find that there were many steps extending downwards in the cave, which was dark inside, and the size of the entrance of the cave was only allowed to three or two people to walk side by side. Ai Ming followed into the cave and walked a few steps down. After turning a corner, he saw several torches in front of him stuck on the wall, and there was another person standing there, next to him was a small door. There was no road ahead, and this was the innermost part of the cave.

Fairy Xue Lan walked up to the man, made several gestures, then took out two silver horns and handed them over. The man took the money, stamped his feet on the ground a few times, and a hole suddenly appeared next to the small door. The small door just now was obviously a trap.

"Why are you still stunned? Come in." Fairy Xue Lan pulled Ai Ming over and said.

Ai Ming was so big that he was so crazy about what he saw. What place is this? It’s so mysterious and so mysterious. To be honest, if Ai Ming was killed, he wouldn’t have come here. Now he can stand here entirely because he is fascinated by beauty.

As soon as he stepped into the small gate, Ai Ming almost fell to the point of being shocked by the lively voices inside. The small gate seemed to have been cast with some kind of isolated sound spell.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the lively scene in front of him. He couldn't believe it. There were so many people here. It seemed that he remembered something, thought about it, and suddenly opened his eyes wide. Ai Ming said excitedly to Fairy Xue Lan who was smiling at him: "Is this the legendary black market?"
