Chapter Ninety-Seven

() Li Degui laughed twice: "Master Jin is joking, I have nothing to worry about."

"Really? Why did I hear that Mr. Liu has something wrong with him now..." At the third point of the conversation, Master Jin suddenly laughed and said nothing.

Shopkeeper Li Da of Guiyung Pavilion suddenly felt on pins and needles, with big beads of sweat dripping down his face.

Why did Li Degui become like this? Naturally, we have to start with his backstage Liu Mingxuan. Liu Mingxuan is fifty-two years old. He is a kind-hearted and good at managing money. He is the history of governance in the Chu Feng Empire and is equivalent to the national finance minister in later generations.

This Guiyun Pavilion is one of his most important properties.

However, Liu Mingxuan's interpersonal relationship is very complicated. He was originally promoted by the current Prime Minister Murong Tianjiao, but he was one of the very few in the court who did not join Murong Tianjiao. Instead, he became the leader of the neutral faction who sat on the sidelines and watched.

A few months ago, Liu Mingxuan was suddenly convicted and sent to prison on charges of serious corruption and bribery. However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that Mr. Liu was accidentally involved in the infighting between the emperor and the prime minister.

No one wants to provoke such a thing at this time. Others can get off the boat halfway, but Li Degui, the big shopkeeper of Guiyung Pavilion, cannot. Everyone knows that his biological sister is Liu Mingxuan's Mrs. Ru. The year before last, Mr. Liu's

Unfortunately, the main wife just passed away, and Miss Li was immediately promoted to the concubine. Perhaps in a few years, the vacant main wife will be occupied by his sister. Therefore, even if the princes and nobles see this Li Degui, they have to call out politely.

Shopkeeper Li, just because he doesn’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face.

The bones and tendons were injured. Because of Liu Mingxuan's incident, everyone in the Liu family was panicked. His sister cried so hard that because it was inconvenient to come forward, she handed over all the matters of exonerating Mr. Liu to Li Degui.

Responsible. Therefore, Guiyun Pavilion, which is brightly lit all year round, will close early during the New Year's Eve, because shopkeeper Li's heart has long been disturbed.

"Haha...Master Jin is joking!" Li Degui's voice trembled, but when a huge pie fell in front of him, he hesitated.

"Can this Jin Buhuan help my master escape the crime?" Li Degui glanced at the young faces of Master Jin and Butler Jin, and his eyes shrank slightly: "Hey...could these people be liars?"

It's no wonder that Li Degui thought this way. Youdao can't do things with your words. He looked at these people up and down. They were all young and had a slutty look on their faces.

What's more, Young Master Jin tried to sway the tiger and recommended himself. This method of extorting money was too despicable in the eyes of an old man like him.

You said that compared to open robbery, this method of deception is much easier. Anyway, it only requires a few clicks of the upper and lower lips. The technical content and the cost of crime can be said in two words - haha!

"Shopkeeper Li doesn't know if he has any doubts. You might as well tell him!" Master Jin took a sip of ginseng tea with peace of mind, but Jin Yi took the opportunity to interject and asked.

"Steward Jin, I don't know if your family is..." Li Degui asked softly. This question was very skillful, and the subtext was clear: If you want to rip me off, you must show your true identity and tell me your background, otherwise

I stupidly handed over the money with both hands. Wasn't it because I was blinded by lard and was so stupid?

With a bang, Master Jin unfolded the folding fan and smiled calmly: "Shopkeeper Li, don't be suspicious. I, Jin Buhuan, dare to open my mouth to undertake this matter, so I am naturally 70% sure. Look, what is the jade pendant around my neck like?

What’s the origin?”

Master Jin took off a precious jade, and Li Degui took a closer look. He saw that the jade was crystal clear, with rainbow light lingering inside, and the room was filled with light.

Absolutely extraordinary, this was Li Degui's first impression.

But Li Degui definitely underestimated the origin of this jade. When he took the jade, he found that it was a Fengxia match. There was also a poem engraved on it:

"Why should we establish a relationship? Beautiful jade is adorned with Luo Ying."

"Luo Ying" is a colorful ribbon tied around the waist of an ancient woman when she gets married to show that the person's heart belongs to her. Therefore, there is a poem in the "Book of Songs" that "the tassel is the same as the one you marry", which means that the woman is the one you love.

The man wears jade and tassels, and his heart is clear.

However, the allusion of Fengxia Pairing is even more famous. The previous generation of Emperor Chu Feng was an infatuated man. He and the Queen were extremely affectionate after their marriage. When he was thirty years old, he personally ordered a skilled craftsman to carve this sentence on this jade pendant.

The word means eternal unity. Later, this jade pendant was passed on to his eldest princess, Princess Izumo, the biological sister of the current emperor, Song Zining.

"Hiss...where did this jade pendant come from?" Li Degui gasped countless times today. He looked at Master Jin with doubts in his eyes, held it up with both hands, and looked at it carefully again, trying to see

Come up with something true or false.

Young Master Jin smiled again: "Counterfeiting and stealing royal items should be capital crimes! Shopkeeper Li, you have to look carefully and find out if this jade pendant was stolen from somewhere else?"

Li Degui returned the jade pendant, sweating profusely, and quickly clasped his fists and bowed, his head almost at the same level as his waist:

"Young Master Jin is joking. I am a villain but I cannot see Mount Tai. May I ask if you have close contacts with the nobles in the palace?"

Young Master Jin shook his head coolly: "Haha... I can't talk about it closely. I once met Princess Izumo and was kind to her. That's why I was given this jade pendant. If I hold this jade pendant and intercede in person, the other party will naturally

Try your best to help me complete something. But I can’t guarantee whether it will be successful or not.”

"Nima, who would believe it if we are not close! This jade pendant can be given to anyone casually? Doesn't this mean that the princess has found a consort for herself? No wonder this person is hiding his head and tail and dare not tell his real name! No wonder he is accompanied by a famous father-in-law!

"

Li Degui touched his chin and thought to himself: "But this can't be exchanged for gold, should I take a gamble?"

Young Master Jin was not anxious at all. Li Degui responded immediately, sipping the ginseng tea one mouthful at a time, even closing his eyes and humming a tune. The stunning little maid stood behind him in a sensible way, and carefully used her delicate hands to

Massage the other person's shoulders.

Looking at this scene, Li Degui narrowed his eyes and secretly made up his mind: "If these are all acting skills, I, Li Degui, will admit it!"

Li Degui held up his hands and said: "Young Master Jin is being humble, but there is no love without reason in the world. You can help my master escape. Naturally, Li is very touched, but he just doesn't know what the price we have to pay?"

As soon as Master Jin and Jin heard Li Degui's words, they knew that the other party was finally tempted. However, Laojianghu is Laojianghu after all, and I'm afraid the conditions are still the last test. If you, the lion, ask for sky-high cash, or don't

If you are lukewarm and ask for a price that is not in line with your worth, I am afraid that the other party will kick you out without saying a word.

Jin Yi nodded to Master Jin quietly.

Young Master Jin smiled freely, walked to the window, opened the window, and looked down from a high position. He seemed to have indescribable emotions in his heart: "I heard that it is a unique experience to climb up in Guiyun Pavilion and look far. Young Master, I really like it. , I wonder if shopkeeper Li can give up his love?"

The corner of Li Degui's mouth twitched, and he cursed in his heart, real estate? This money can't be exchanged for such a big appetite, and it won't be full! But he has concluded that this matter is 80% true. But the price of saving people is really too high, I'm afraid even if Even his master would not agree.

Li Degui hesitated for a long time, and then sighed: "This matter is important, I forgive Li for not daring to make any arbitrary decisions!"

Jin Yi, who had always been so secretive, suddenly interrupted again and said: "Master, Mr. Li, can you allow Jin Yi to interrupt?"

Young Master Jin raised his hand to signal, as if there was a unique double act in the moment: "Jin Yi, please speak!"

Li Degui didn't know what was going on and nodded blankly: "Steward Jin, please speak!"

Jin Yi touched the decoration on the fifth floor of Guiyun Pavilion and sighed: "This Guiyun Pavilion is located in a prosperous place. It is worth a lot of money. It is said to be worth millions, but I think it is not much different."

Li Degui was secretly surprised: "Yes, this Guiyun Pavilion is all thanks to my master's guidance and escort. It has been developed so far and is worth a million dollars."

Jin Yi smiled slightly, raised his hand to signal to Young Master Jin: "So I, Jin Yi, would like to say something fair. For the sake of Young Master's preference, I'm afraid it's not wise to let Shopkeeper Li take such a big risk. Even if Mr. Nei Shi is here, , and it’s hard to give up such a profitable industry.”

"What a smart housekeeper. If his young master can be so wise, our negotiations will be easier." Li Degui clapped his hands in appreciation.

Jin repeatedly said: "Master, there is a saying that destroying a person's wealth is tantamount to killing his parents. I, Jin, have the courage to give you two an idea that is acceptable to both parties."

"What's the idea?" Li Degui asked with a frown.

Jin Yifeng looked calm, but the smile on his face grew stronger and stronger: "Young master, your weight is to get to know the princess, and there is a chance that Mr. Nei Shi can escape the crime. And the bottom line of Shopkeeper Li is to do what he can. Under the premise, we must rescue Mr. Neishi. But the focus of both parties is the ownership of Guiyun Pavilion."

"Please continue talking..." Li Degui signaled again.

"Since the focus of the conflict is here, then why can't we combine the needs of both parties into one?" The light in Jin's eyes suddenly flashed away.

"How do you say this?" Li Degui asked uneasily.

Jin Yize looked at the picture and slowly uttered two words: "Buy shares!"

With a bang, the tea cup in Li Degui's hand suddenly overturned, and the tea in the cup suddenly spilled on the floor.
