People are afraid of officials!
This is true in any dynasty, even if this is a different world.
When he heard that several government officials wanted to take Xu Ning to see the county captain, Li Daniu's first reaction was that it was over. Xu Ning's murder was exposed.
Xu Ning was also a little surprised and hugged Ma Min, "Brother Ma, why does the county captain want to see me?"
"Something happened at Zhou Ji's pawnshop. You must have heard about it, right? Zhou Chong suspects that it was you who did it. Mr. Chen asked me to take you to ask questions."
"It's a joke. It was just this morning that my shopkeeper told me that something happened to Zhou Ji's pawnshop. How could it be that I was the one who did it?"
"I also know that I am not a good brother, but Mr. Chen wants to see you, and I can't shirk it."
"Okay, then I'll go with you, Brother Ma."
Xu Ning spoke, and then smiled: "Today is the first day of opening of the store. Since Brother Ma is here, it's time to try my products."
Xu Ning said, taking two sets of toothbrushes, toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo, soap, and soap, wrapping them up and handing them to Ma Min.
"Brother, you can't do this."
"What are these, they are all worthless things. Let's go, I will tell my brother how to use these things."
Ma Min resisted, but he glanced at the price. Seeing that the prices of these things were not low, Xu Ning gave them to him so generously, and he immediately recognized Xu Ning even more.
Xu Ning took a small mirror from the warehouse behind the shop and put it in his arms, then walked with Ma Min towards Zhou Ji's pawnshop.
…
In front of Zhou Ji's pawnshop.
Ma Min brought Xu Ning over, "Master Chen, bring Xu Ning."
"Xu Ning, a common man, has met Mr. Chen."
Xu Ning bowed, then glanced at Zhou Kun and Zhou Chong next to him.
The two father and son also looked Xu Ning up and down, and saw that the other party looked like a scholar, not a master of hidden weapons at all.
Chen Ping nodded slightly and said, "Xu Ning, do you know shopkeeper Zhou Xingzhou?"
"We know, Cao Min mortgaged two items at Zhou Ji Pawnshop the day before yesterday, so that he can buy real estate and shops in Yongping County and settle down."
"Where were you and what were you doing from yesterday's time to today's Mao?"
"The grass people have been sleeping at home."
"I heard that assassins came to your house the night before yesterday to assassinate you. Afterwards, Capt. Ma told you that the two assassins had contact with Zhou Xing, so you thought it was Zhou Xing who ordered you to blow up the pawnshop and kill Zhou Xing with gunpowder out of a grudge. Yes and no!
Chen Ping's voice suddenly became stern, and his momentum rose.
Xu Ning was startled, feeling as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. The hair on his body stood on end, he didn't dare to move at all, and his mind was frightened.
It seemed that whenever he told a lie, he would be struck by thunder.
At this moment, the bronze door in his mind shook slightly, eliminating the intimidation brought by Chen Ping. Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Is this the power of a warrior?
On the way here, Ma Min told Xu Ning that Chen Xianwei was a martial artist, and he was not weak at all. Now that he had experienced it personally, Xu Ning had a yearning for martial arts.
"Master Chen, ordinary people don't understand what you are talking about. Shopkeeper Zhou is willing to treat me as my property, give me banknotes, and buy real estate. I am grateful before it is too late. How can I kill him."
"And I'm not that capable, right? I can kill shopkeeper Zhou at home and turn Zhou Ji's pawnshop into this?"
Xu Ning calmed down and answered calmly.
Zhou Chong said from the side: "Xu Ning, you are a master of hidden weapons. It is not impossible to leave without anyone noticing and then sneak into the pawn shop to plant gunpowder."
Xu Ning glanced at him, "What's the benefit to me if I do this? I still have a lot of things to pawn. The price Shopkeeper Zhou gave me is fair. I'm about to ask him to pawn some more things. Wouldn't it be a waste if I kill him?" own way of making money."
When Zhou Kun heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. The gems and lighters that Xu Ning pawned were now in his hands. He couldn't let go of these two things. If Xu Ning still had something to pawn, I'm afraid it would be a good treasure.
He couldn't let such a business go. He smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, I believe Zhou Xing's matter has nothing to do with you. I don't know what else you want to pawn. Although the pawn shop is gone, my Zhou family is still there. It can be used as something.”
When Chen Ping heard what Zhou Kun said, he didn't ask any more questions. If Zhou Chong hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have called Xu Ning over to ask questions.
Xu Ning took out the palm-sized mirror from his clothes.
Suddenly everyone's eyes lit up. What a beautiful glazed mirror. It was so exquisite. The key was that the mirror surface was so clear. It could illuminate people so clearly. It had never been seen before.
This is a hundred times, a thousand times stronger than the bronze mirror at home.
Zhou Kun said hurriedly: "Mr. Xu, do you want this?"
"Yes, this glazed mirror can be regarded as an heirloom of my Xu family. If I were not living in embarrassment, I would not take it out. Head of the Zhou family, please give me a price. If the price is right, I will give it to you."
Zhou Kun took the mirror and looked at it over and over. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. It turned out that he looked like this. Although he had known his appearance through the bronze mirror before, he had never seen himself so clearly.
The only drawback is that it is too small, only about the size of a palm, and cannot even reflect the entire face, but this is what it should be. If such a clear glazed mirror were larger, it would really be a rarity.
If you buy it back, your wife will definitely like it.
"Mr. Xu, this glazed mirror of yours is good, but it's just a little too small. Let's just deal with it directly without saying it's inappropriate. Mr. Xu, you can set a price and I'll buy it if I think it's suitable."
"This glazed mirror is an heirloom of my Xu family. I have never seen another identical piece in the world. If Master Zhou sincerely wants it, I will sell it to you for a hundred taels of gold."
"One hundred taels of gold!"
Zhou Kun took a breath, so expensive.
Although Xu Ning's artificial gemstones were previously sold at a high price of 5,000 taels of silver, those were five gemstones, which meant that one gemstone was worth a hundred gold.
And this glazed mirror actually cost a hundred taels of gold, which he felt was a bit expensive.
In Zhou Kun's eyes, although the glazed mirror is precious, it is not worth the price. Artificial gemstones are more exquisite in craftsmanship. For wealthy people like him, gemstones are real collectibles.
He has already shown the artificial gemstones to several wealthy people in the city, and they are all extremely envious of him.
Although this glass mirror is exquisite, the bronze mirror can also be replaced. Although it doesn't look very clear, it can at least be replaced, so it feels expensive.
"If Mr. Zhou thinks it's expensive, let it go. I'll go to another pawn shop later." Xu Ning stretched out his hand to take the mirror back.
Zhou Chong grabbed it and said with a smile: "One hundred taels of gold is just one hundred taels of gold. My Zhou family bought it."
Then he whispered to Zhou Kun in a low voice: "Dad, it will be Lord Zhizhou's birthday in a short time."
Zhou Kun slapped his head and almost forgot about it. It was perfect to use this glass mirror to send Master Zhizhou.
