When Monk Hua came back from Geling City, he happily found Lin Ye directly.
Seeing him like this, Lin Ye knew that what he was asked to do must be done.
Lin Ye poured a cup of tea for Monk Hua and handed it to Monk Hua. Monk Hua was really thirsty, so he drank it in one gulp.
"Master, the work is finally done."
Monk Hua took off the cloth bag he was carrying and said while untying it: "Master, guess how much money Li Ci is willing to give this time?"
Lin Ye said: "At least twenty thousand taels."
Monk Hua said: "The sect master really underestimated that guy. I only said one thing, and asked the general to mention it in front of His Highness. These beautiful women are all Li Ci's Xiaojing. He immediately asked someone to take them." I came over with a box of banknotes, saying they were fifty thousand taels."
Lin Ye couldn't help being surprised.
If Li Ci really took out so much money, wouldn't it reveal the fact that he was not an ordinary pawnshop owner?
A pawnshop owner, who is not yet the owner, casually took out fifty thousand taels of silver. This should not be done.
Monk Hua continued: "I told that guy, do you think the general lacks your few taels of silver?"
When he said this, he looked at Lin Ye: "At that time, I thought that the box he asked people to bring over was not big. It was filled with gold. In fact, it was only a few thousand taels."
"I didn't expect that there were all banknotes inside, one thousand taels each, a thick stack. I was a little dizzy when I saw it..."
Monk Hua said: "But I didn't ask for it. I still said the same thing. Do you think my general lacks your few taels of silver?"
After saying this, he took out the wooden box from the cloth bag and opened it in front of Lin Ye.
When the box was opened, bursts of light overflowed from it. The moment the lid of the box was opened, it seemed as if a rainbow was flowing out of the box.
Lin Ye looked down and saw that the box was full of beads. There were at least thirty beads, each one bigger than an egg.
An ordinary bead, so regular, so big, without any impurities, and almost perfect in shape, would be worth nearly five thousand taels of silver.
These beads look obviously unusual, and their radiance makes people feel magical just looking at them.
Monk Hua explained: "Li Ci said that these are not pearls collected from the East China Sea, but from a little-known place deep in the South China Sea. Each of the real night-light pearls is worth ten thousand taels. There are thirty here." One piece, which is worth three hundred thousand taels.”
When Monk Hua spoke, there was uncontrollable joy in his eyes.
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver are just here. In exchange for armor, how many brothers' names can be protected?"
Lin Ye felt filled with emotion when he heard Monk Hua say this.
A big family like the Wang family would give away such valuable things casually. Things worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver would be given away as soon as they were given.
"Put away these beads for now, they will be used in the future."
Lin Ye said: "You should also go and have a rest. I'll have to let you go to Geling again after a while."
Monk Hua said: "Okay, then I'll go back and take a nap first. I've been walking a lot these past two days and my back is sore. I really want to have a good rest."
Lin Ye: "I walk a lot, my back is so sore..."
Monk Hua chuckled. He didn't dare to say anything more. He turned around and ran out like a fool.
Lin Ye sat down and thought about it carefully, because this matter seemed a bit unusual.
Li Ci suddenly took out such a valuable gift, clearly telling Lin Ye that I was not just a pawnshop owner.
Since he can do this, he must have a backup plan.
Just as he was thinking about this, Lin Ye saw Mr. Xin strolling in from the outside with his hands behind his back.
When Lin Ye wanted to put away the box of beads, it was already too late.
Moreover, the box was not covered yet, so Mr. Xin saw the radiant light as soon as he entered the door.
Mr. Xin saw it, so he walked towards the box and said, "What good thing?"
Lin Ye replied: "Dali Pill."
Mr. Xin looked back at Lin Ye, who nodded seriously: "Qicai Dali Pill."
Mr. Xin lowered his head and looked down. Lin Ye thought that at least half of the box of beads could not be saved, but Mr. Xin seemed not to be interested at all and gave up after taking one look.
"Don't you like it, sir?"
Lin Ye asked.
Mr. Xin sat down and said: "It's just a shining pearl in the sinking place of the South China Sea. How much is it worth?"
Lin Ye asked: "Sir, does he know how much silver these shining pearls can be exchanged for?"
Mr. Xin said: "I just took a look and found that the quality and appearance are very good. Each one can be sold for more than ten thousand taels. This box has about thirty pieces. If you are lucky, you can sell for five hundred thousand taels." "
Lin Ye asked: "Sir, are you not interested in five hundred thousand taels of silver at all?"
Mr. Xin said: "You underestimate me."
He sat down, crossed his legs, and straightened his clothes.
"This thing has only two greatest effects. One is to look good, and the other is to soothe the mind."
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "Crush it into powder and use it as medicine. It can treat insomnia and dreaminess in pregnant women. Most medicines will have some effect on pregnant women after taking them, but this medicine will not harm people at all." .”
He smiled and said: "Give me this thing, I will crush it and make medicine. I can give it to you in exchange for a million arrows."
Lin Ye was slightly startled because of these words.
Mr. Xin said: "Let's talk about business. Regarding the matter of framing you, how are you preparing yourself?"
Lin Ye pointed to the box: "Isn't the compensation for being framed already received?"
Mr. Xin nodded: "Okay, then this matter can continue."
After saying that, he stood up to leave.
Lin Ye: "Sir, wait!"
Mr. Xin asked him: "What's the matter?"
Lin Ye said: "There is no way that you, sir, would have no interest in five hundred thousand taels of silver. Let alone five hundred thousand taels, even if it was fifty taels, as long as it was mine, you would grab half of it, but today you are so generous. .....Sir, do you want to kill me?"
Mr. Xin: "After all, it is compensation."
Lin Ye: "You really want to kill me."
Mr. Xin: "Everywhere in life, there are losses and gains. Since you have already made a fortune worth five hundred thousand taels, what's the matter with losing your life."
Lin Ye's eyes widened.
Mr. Xin said seriously: "Besides, you are not guaranteed to risk your life, but it is possible to risk your life. You will definitely make a profit."
Lin Ye: "What is possible, sir, how possible is it?"
Mr. Xin stretched out four fingers and shook them: "It's only four points."
Lin Ye thought about it, four points was less than half, so probably, should, maybe, maybe he was overthinking it?
Mr. Xin patted Lin Ye on the shoulder and said in a gentle tone: "Can I really cheat you?"
After saying that, he walked away. When he went out, Mr. Xin said to himself: "You didn't ask me what the full score is. If the full score is five points, then this time it will be four points."
Lin Ye followed him in one step: "Sir, what do you mean, there is a high probability that I will be tricked to death by you this time?"
Mr. Xin quickened his pace and said without looking back as he strode forward: "No matter what, I can help you grind those beads into powder and make them into medicine. If you sell them, you can at least double the price."
Lin Ye didn't believe it.
He chased Mr. Xin out: "Sir, how big of a deal do you want to cause?"
Mr. Xin said: "It's not like you don't know that I am not responsible for any big thing."
As soon as Lin Ye heard this, his pursuit of Mr. Xin became even more urgent.
If Mr. Xin had done this, Lin Ye wouldn't be afraid of anything he could do.
If the emperor had done this, Xiao Linye would have to deal with it carefully.
"Go back, go back, don't give it away."
Mr. Xin was walking quickly in front, waving as he walked, while Lin Ye was stalking behind. The two of them seemed to be moving in exactly the same way.
Xie Yunxi and Zina happened to be passing by here. When he saw the two people acting like this, Xie Yunxi felt that something might be wrong. Mr. Xin's behavior, which seemed to be irregular and always made people think that it would not be a big deal, might actually be fake. .
"What's wrong with my brother?"
Zinai watched Lin Ye chase after him and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
After Xie Yunxi was silent for a moment, he suddenly said to Zinai: "I am leaving early tomorrow morning for this trip to Geling. You come with me and don't tell your brother."
Zinai nodded immediately: "Okay."
Xie Yunxi said: "Don't ask me, why are you going to Geling?"
Zinai said: "What my aunt wants to take me to do must be for my brother's benefit."
Xie Yunxi nodded heavily. At the moment when Mr. Xin strode past, she saw a hint of guilt in Mr. Xin's eyes.
At the same time, at the foot of Wumeng Mountain, which was two thousand miles away from Geling City, the emperor and his party moved into the small town at the foot of the mountain.
Wumeng Mountain is known as the No. 1 mountain in Eastern Dayu, not because it is high enough and dangerous, but because it is gentle enough and sentimental enough.
The origin of the name Dreamless Mountain is that at this point, you don’t even have to dream about it, because everything in this mountain is what you can only dream about.
When you get here, there is no need to dream, there are dreams everywhere.
Almost all the scenery you can imagine in the human world can be found in Wumeng Mountain.
The emperor was very satisfied with this place, and he didn't have any faults when he was satisfied.
I just came back from playing in Xingyuan Cave last night, and the emperor was full of praises all the way.
Who would have thought that in this cave in the mountain, one could actually have the illusion of seeing everything in the universe.
"I really like it here."
The emperor looked at Concubine Wan Gui and said, "We might as well stay a few more days, and we can go to the Xingyuan Cave again."
Concubine Wan Gui said with a smile: "It's fine if Your Majesty likes it. In fact, I also think the Xingyuan Cave is very interesting. There are so many bright things like stars in the cave, and they look so beautiful. Who knows that it will be just two steps away?" A hole that looks into the sky, the stars in the hole and the stars in the sky can actually reflect each other."
The Emperor said: "It's a bit like the truth contained in all things in nature... The stars in the cave are people, and the stars in the sky are old friends."
Concubine Wan Gui thought about this sentence and felt a little sad.
The Emperor said: "Old friends have become stars in the sky one after another, and it is the new person's turn to shine in the world."
Concubine Wan Gui asked: "Your Majesty is still worried about the affairs in Geling City, and you are also worried about the newcomer who is about to shine?"
The Emperor said: "I said I won't test him, I won't give him questions, but nothing can be left behind...those are the paths he must take."
Concubine Wan Gui asked: "What if there is no way?"
The Emperor said: "There is no way to go, only how to go. If he doesn't go the way I want him to go, then he will go another way... I hope."
The emperor put his arms around Concubine Wan Gui's waist.
Standing on the wall of this small city blown by the breeze, it seems that this is the quietest scene in the world.
