The couple were slightly startled by the sudden knock on the door.
They were a little confused, who would knock on their door in the middle of the night?
The wife was about to get up and open the door to check, but the middle-aged man stepped in and blocked her.
"I come."
Arriving at the door of the room, he grabbed a wooden stick next to him, then lowered his voice and asked, "Who is it?"
The social environment in this country is not very stable, and robberies and murders often occur.
Whenever night comes, few people go out on the streets to avoid being targeted by wandering gangsters.
If you are lucky, your money will be robbed, but if you are unlucky, you may even lose your life.
The middle-aged man is very worried, fearing that his home will be targeted by gangsters, so he acts cautiously.
Of course, this possibility is not high. After all, my family is extremely poor, which is something that everyone in the neighborhood knows.
However, he also knows that if you sail a boat with caution, carelessness may lead to lifelong regrets.
As the middle-aged man waited nervously, there was finally a voice outside the door, but with a hint of coldness that penetrated into the bone marrow.
"I have something, please help me."
When the middle-aged man heard this, doubts arose in his heart, and then he refused.
"Sorry, you go find someone else, I can't help."
At this moment, the middle-aged man felt more and more that something was wrong. Who would ask him for help in the middle of the night?
There is a great possibility that the other party has bad intentions.
There are many types of help, and you should never agree to it easily.
If the other party is short of money or life, do I have to provide it myself?
The wife, standing aside, also noticed something was wrong and looked over nervously.
Then I thought of something, grabbed the scissors used to cut rags, and held them firmly in my hands.
Obviously, he was prepared to face the enemy together with his husband if something unexpected happened.
Seeing his wife's expression, the middle-aged man's heart trembled, and more regret came to his heart.
If he had woken up in time and was not so stubborn and stupid, why would his wife have to worry with him in this dilapidated rental house on such a night.
In the past, I was too much of a bastard to be a wife and father.
But at this moment, he wants to protect his family and will never flinch.
The voice outside the door sounded again.
"You will not be busy in vain, but you will be paid accordingly, which is one-third of it."
As soon as the sound outside the door fell, something was stuffed into the crack of the door, shining with a faint golden light under the dim light.
"Gold Thread Money!"
Seeing the banknotes stuffed into the crack of the door, the middle-aged man was slightly startled, but his wife couldn't help but exclaimed.
The banknotes with gold thread on the surface are the country's largest currency. One banknote is equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary worker.
At this moment, there was a thick stack in front of him, at least more than fifty pieces.
According to his current salary standard, he would need to save for fifty years without eating or drinking to be able to save such a large amount of money.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's heart was beating wildly, and his eyes were attracted to this stack of banknotes.
Looking at his wife again, she is also full of expectation and desire.
With this money, the family's predicament can be immediately reversed, and the children can also get a better education.
For the development of the next generation, so what if we fight for it once!
After picking up the banknotes and confirming that there was nothing wrong with them, the middle-aged man handed the money to his wife.
"Take your money and children and go to a neighbor's house to take shelter. Don't come out unless I tell you."
The wife hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but in the end she gritted her teeth and nodded.
The child who woke up was woken up and dragged away from the back door by his mother. The middle-aged man took a deep breath and slowly opened the weak wooden door.
In fact, at this moment, he was able to confirm that the other party did not have any malicious intentions.
He is just a pauper. If the other party is seeking wealth and death, there is no need to go to such trouble.
It's just a broken door that can be kicked open with one kick.
In order to express sincerity, the other party even paid a huge sum of money in advance. According to the price on the black market, it was more than enough to buy ten of his lives.
At this moment, the middle-aged man felt a strong curiosity in his heart. He wanted to know what the other party was going to do?
The door was opened, and the scene outside appeared in front of him. A man in black stood at the door of his house.
He has a strong figure and is a head taller than a middle-aged man. He is wearing the most fashionable dress, but he exudes a cold aura that makes people feel oppressive.
Behind this man in black, there are two rows of men in black standing. They are all dressed in the same way, and their straight bodies are like statues.
On the streets late at night, such a strange scene can easily make people imagine.
The middle-aged man felt a little cold and shivered uncontrollably.
The battle in front of him was a bit scary, but the middle-aged man was well prepared. How could someone who could knock on his door late at night and hand him a huge sum of money be an ordinary person?
So what if you take some risks for this reward? It would be really strange if there were no risks.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, the middle-aged man asked the man in black what the hell was going on with him.
"We would like to ask for your help in finding the whereabouts of the descendants of the Longyan Royal Guards."
While the man in black was speaking, he brought a document with detailed requirements.
After the middle-aged man took it, he found that the document turned out to be in luminous fonts, which could be seen clearly in the dark.
After carefully reading the contents of the document, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and had a smile on his face.
The matter is not difficult to handle, it happens to be the area he is best at. No wonder the man in black comes to his door.
Only the remuneration was ridiculously high, a sky-high price, which made the middle-aged man feel unreal.
Regarding this issue, he does not need to think too much. The employer is willing to give money, so how can he refuse?
When it's time to do something, just do your best to be worthy of this super high commission.
"I accepted the mission, when will it start?"
Putting away the documents in his hand, the middle-aged man looked at the man in black robe and asked in a slightly nervous tone.
"It's an emergency. It's best to leave now. You have ten minutes."
The man in black robe looked at his watch and continued to speak coldly.
"Wait me a moment."
Since you choose to accept a task, you must be serious and responsible and try your best to follow the employer's arrangements.
If such a good job is lost because of his work attitude, the middle-aged man will definitely be depressed and vomit blood.
When he arrived at his neighbor's house, he called his wife out and the middle-aged man explained.
I simply packed up and walked out of the house with my backpack.
Only then did he see a row of cars parked on the side of the road, all of which were the latest models on the market.
The price is quite high, and it is a means of transportation only used by the upper class.
The middle-aged man saw it on the street and was envious of it at that time, but he never had the chance to ride on it.
When he sat on the car and felt the soft seats, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Perseverance for so many years is not meaningless. Without such skills, how could it be possible to earn such a huge commission.
An ordinary person might be busy all his life and would never have the chance to make such a large amount of money.
The convoy was traveling on the road at night, unable to see the scenery along the way because of the curtains.
Otherwise, the middle-aged man in the car would be so scared that his legs would become weak.
It turned out that the car at this moment was as fast as lightning, fluttering rapidly on the deserted road.
Even if there are pedestrians on the road, the car will rush over without hesitation and pass by in the blink of an eye.
Although the two sides collided, there was no damage to each other. It was extremely weird.
The car drove forward for an unknown distance and finally stopped slowly.
"We're here, please get out of the car."
The middle-aged man in the car jumped out of the opened door and saw the huge building in front of him at a glance.
"This is...the Imperial Library!"
The middle-aged man exclaimed with an incredulous expression on his face. He couldn't understand why in a short period of time, he came to a famous building thousands of miles away.
This made him wonder if he was just looking at things.
But in the blink of an eye, he saw a bronze goddess statue, which was the most famous sight in the Imperial Library.
