Heyue City has never been as lively as it is today in the more than 100 years since its establishment. In the morning, the government office tried a major case of murder. Although the case was finally settled with a false accusation, the ups and downs of the trial process were enough to fill the city. People have been talking about it for months. Unexpectedly, just after noon, Zhenbaoxuan in Sanhefang posted another notice. The content shocked the whole city. People all over the city rushed to tell each other and jumped for joy. In less than half an hour, almost half of the people in the city lined up outside Zhenbaofang. .
What? What are you doing in line, you ask?
Hey, didn’t you read the notice at Zhenbaofang?
The famous Huajia Shilang in the Tang Dynasty wants to buy all the pearl jewelry in the city at ten times the price. Whether it is earrings, hairpins, golden steps, bracelets or rings, as long as they have pearls, he wants them all!
What? Do you think Shiro Hanakaya is crazy?
Hehe, you only know one thing but not the other. Silang of the Hua family comes from the Yangdu Hua family, which is famous all over the world. He is a high-ranking noble family with five surnames and seven clans. The clan rule is "unconventional, and people with spare time and money", especially Why is this Shiro? He is the most famous dandy in Yangdu. It is not surprising that he does any crazy things. What's more, this time there was a reason for the incident and it was a serious matter.
What? What's the serious business, you ask?
Hehehe, of course it’s to make the beauty smile!
What? Who is the beauty, you ask?
Ouch, you don’t even know this?
Have you seen the little lady next to Hanajia Shiro? He has a heroic appearance, a fierce aura, and his eyes are glaring, as if he is possessed by a ghost. He is really frightening and makes the hairs stand on end.
She is the legendary Lin Sui'an who can fight one against a hundred.
ah? Are you saying that Shiro Hanakaya’s vision is not good?
Go, go, you know nothing!
That little lady was no ordinary person. She had sharp swordsmanship and strong martial arts. She became famous in one battle in Yangdu. It was said that she could stare the inconspicuous Yangdu prefect Zhou Changping to death with one glance.
Such a character is worthy of the "unique" Hanaka Shiro!
Hey, I won’t tell you, I also have a pearl earring at home, I need to line up quickly!
"The above are the rumors about Huajia Silang spending a lot of money to get a beauty." Jin Ruo gloated, "It's just out of the oven, it's fresh."
Lin Sui'an pressed his fingers on the throbbing veins on his temples, "What, what, is this, fun?!"
"It's not my fault," Jin Ruo raised his hand to show his innocence, "Hua Yitang asked me to tell him this. He also said that this is the only reason that fits his status as the No. 1 playboy in the Hua family's Shilang and Yangdu."
Lin Sui'an gritted his teeth, clenched his fingers, loosened them, and then clenched them tightly again. His knuckles cracked loudly as he silently recited the fourteen-character mantra to calm down his anger: Don't argue with idiots, don't compete with idiots!
In order to solve the case, I have to endure it, endure it, endure it... I can't bear it anymore!
She raised Qianjing and carried the black wind towards Zhenbaoxuan. Jin Ruopidianpidian followed behind, smiling so hard that the world would not be in chaos. The tea stall where he rested was just across the street from Zhenbaofang, but only a few steps away, Lin Sui'an suddenly walked away in a sweat. The people lining up all moved out of the way, staring at each other, which was comparable to The modern camera flash made Lin Sui'an's head hurt.
There is a huge awning in front of Zhenbaoxuan, covering half of the street. There are three layers of gauze curtains hanging on all sides. When the wind blows, it looks like clouds, fog, and dreams. Under the awning are hanging The bed is shaped like a couch, with Hua Yitang leaning on it, leaning on the cushions behind her, with her legs crossed, her chin propped up, her eyes half-squinted, shaking her fan and enjoying tea, melons and fruits. The shape is as artificial as it sounds. , his temperament is as dandy as he is, and his unparalleled handsome appearance strongly attracts everyone's attention.
There is a table on the left front of the awning, with Yita and Mu Xia sitting behind it. The two shopkeepers of Zhenbaoxuan are arranged on the left and right. Shopkeeper Li has a big box in front of him, which is responsible for collecting jewelry. Shopkeeper Zhang has several big boxes behind him. It was filled with copper coins, and they were responsible for paying. Xiaoyan and the guys from Zhenbaoxuan stood in the inner circle, and the six delinquents sent by Magistrate Xu to suppress the situation gathered in the outer circle, all of them ready.
The people who queued up first handed the pearl jewelry to Ita, who evaluated the value of the jewelry, and Mu Xia converted it into ten times the price. Shopkeeper Li received the jewelry, and Shopkeeper Zhang paid. They handed over the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. They left the counter without regrets - Actual No one regretted it at all.
Hua Yitang was right. Yita's vision was accurate and vicious. He could accurately tell the price of jewelry at a glance. Plus, with a tenfold price increase, almost everyone was overjoyed when they heard the price. He took it, took the money and ran away, for fear that Zhenbaoxuan would regret it.
In comparison, Shopkeeper Li and Shopkeeper Zhang's expressions were not so good-looking. Although they spent Hua Yitang's money, it was paid from their hands after all. It was like cutting off their flesh.
Lin Sui'an went under the awning with a series of burning eyes. Hua Yitang immediately sat up and swept the edge of Hu's bed with a fan, making a "sweeping the couch and waiting" look.
Lin Sui'an crossed his arms across his chest: "Isn't it too outrageous?"
"I'm Huajia Shilang. It would be strange if what I do is not outrageous," Hua Yitang said with a smile, "The more outrageous it is, the less likely it is to make people suspicious."
Jin Ruo stuffed his heart into his mouth, "Are you so sure that the murderer will come to sell jewelry?"
"Because no one has seen the jewelry except him and Lu Shi, he decided that the jewelry is safe."
"What if the murderer had already sold the jewelry?"
"It's better to sell the jewelry. The murderer will never tell the origin of the jewelry. He will definitely forge an innocent origin. The more the buyer believes in the murderer's words, the more confident he will be in selling the jewelry. As long as you find the jewelry, you can naturally find out the origin. murderer."
"What if the murderer neither sold the jewelry to others nor came here to sell jewelry?"
"A person who breaks his own rules and risks killing people for jewelry is extremely greedy. It is impossible for him not to be tempted when faced with a price that is ten times higher."
"That makes sense," Jin Ruo applauded, looking at Hua Yitang's expression as if he was looking at a retarded person. "One last question, none of us have seen that jewelry! How to identify it?"
"This is simple." Hua Yitang nodded and took out a piece of paper from his arms, "I drew a picture."
The picture shows a hairpin, delicate and small, with round pearls. It was drawn by Hua Yitang based on Lin Sui'an's description of Golden Finger.
Lin Sui'an's eyelids were twitching: She tried every means to hide the secret, but this guy just brought it out so carelessly. Is that okay?
Jin Ruo was stunned: "Is it a hairpin?!"
Hua Yitang nodded.
"Where did you get this picture?!"
"Of course Lu Shi told me."
Lin Sui'an: "Yeah, cough, cough!"
Jin Ruo took a breath, looked around, and lowered his voice, "Is it possible that you can still channel spirits and summon spirits?!"
Hua Yitang looked solemn and pretended to be mysterious: "Everyone knows that Silang of the Hua family in Yangdu is as beautiful as Pan An and extremely intelligent. He knows everything from astronomy to geography. He knows everything from the Five Elements, Bagua and Feng Shui compass. I don’t know, I can separate yin and yang, I can distinguish the sun and the moon, my channeling and summoning of spirits is no more than a trivial skill, so I can catch him easily.”
There was a moment of dead silence.
Lin Sui'an's eyelids twitched as he watched Jin Ruo's expression change from shock to confusion and finally to disgust: "Hua, will you die if you don't brag?!"
Hua Yitang banged his fan: "Ah, ah, I didn't expect to be found out so quickly. As expected of the young master of the Jing sect, he is indeed the sweetheart with seven orifices."
Jin Ruo: "..."
"Actually, I asked Xiaoyan and Tian Bao, the shopkeeper of Hua Baoxuan, and I inferred it based on their descriptions and the jewelry styles Lu Shi had made before," Hua Yitang whispered, "Lu Shi is best at making jewelry. The category is hairpins, and this pattern is what he is best at.”
"Aren't you afraid that the painting will be wrong?" Jin Ruo asked.
Hua Yitang waved his small fan proudly, "I'm Hua Jia Si Lang, how could I draw it wrong?"
Jin Ruo rolled his eyes to the sky, his expression was full of disdain and disgust, but he couldn't wait any longer. He stuffed two mouthfuls of snacks and ran to Mu Xia's side to stare together, as if he had been deceived.
Lin Sui'an looked at Hua Yitang blankly.
"No matter what you see with your eyes from now on, anything that is inconvenient to say will be blamed on me." Hua Yitang came over and spoke in a low and slow voice, "We are the ones who make random claims, brag and lie. The dandy has the ability to look after his family."
When he said these words, he was only two inches away from Lin Sui'an's ears, and the floral and fruity incense on his body seemed to take form, filling his internal organs with a sweet and sour taste.
Lin Sui'an's breathing suddenly tightened.
Hua Yitang took half a step away as if nothing happened, and looked at the crowd. If his earlobes were not slightly red, he would be calm and composed. Suddenly, he said "Huh".
Lin Sui'an followed his gaze and saw a commotion about ten feet away from Zhenbaoxuan. It seemed that someone was causing trouble.
Hua Yitang closed the fan with a snap, "How dare you cause trouble in my Hua family's territory, see if I don't beat him until his teeth are all over the floor——"
"Just stay there, I'll go take a look." Lin Sui'an walked over quickly with Qian Jing in hand. It turned out that two young women in the team were surrounded by three rogues, who were making fun and making noises.
Two women are wearing power fences. The one in front is wearing a bright red pomegranate skirt and a bright yellow shawl. She has a slim figure and graceful manners. The tall man behind, wearing a blue skirt and green silk, seemed to be frightened, and huddled behind the woman in the red skirt, not daring to say a word.
The rogues' costumes were even more distinctive. They only wore half of their clothes and half of their arms were exposed. It was late autumn and they were not afraid of getting cold. Especially the leader, who was so fat that he trembled when he spoke. His arms were supposed to be rusty. It was tattooed, but I don’t know whether it was because the paint was insufficient or the color had faded. There were only a few dark curves left. At first glance, it looked like a nest of earthworms.
The naughty men surrounded the two ladies, smiling playfully:
"Look, isn't this You Jiuniang from the Four Singers of Wuhefang? What's the matter, it's not enough to serve the dignitaries, and now you want to taste the sweetness of the Hua family?"
"Normally, the prostitutes in the Si Ge Family hide their heads and show their tails, and they are mysteriously tight. But now, when I look at them, their waists are really as thin as willows. It really makes my heart itch!"
"You Jiuniang has been here in the sun for most of the day. Are you tired? Why don't you come and lie down in my arms and take a rest. I promise to serve you in a comfortable way."
The people around were angry but did not dare to speak. It was obvious that these scoundrels were senior rat shit in the city. However, the prostitute in the red dress was very tough. She raised her power and shouted angrily in a sweet voice, "Get out! I'm not taking a bath today. I won't serve you." !”
The face under the power fence was like a red peach, delicate and beautiful. Lin Sui'an looked familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, hey, this acquaintance was the delicate little lady he met at Ji's Medical Clinic. He also gave her a gift. A flower lot came.
As soon as You Jiuniang showed her face, the gangsters became even more excited. The tattooed gangsters drooled, licking their faces and leaning forward, "I'll do it by myself. Just lie down, don't be tired!"
The naughty boy shouted loudly, and You Jiuniang rolled her eyes gracefully, glanced at the tattooed rogue's lower body, and said disgustedly, "You're the one, I'm afraid it's all over, and I haven't felt it yet!"
"Pfft!" I don't know who sprayed it, and soon, muffled laughter sounded all around.
The tattooed rogue became angry and said, "Brothers, fight these two away from me. I'm going to have a good time today!"
The two naughty boys hesitated: "This, this, this, this, this, is not good."
"The prostitutes from Sige's family are so expensive!"
"We can't afford one, let alone two?"
The laughter grew louder all around.
Tattooed rogue: "Pay, pay for what?! I'm sleeping with you | Women never spend money!"
The naughty boy said sincerely:
"Brother also asked us to collect debts, so don't delay the business!"
"Robbing a decent girl in the street will kill you with a stick!"
"Bullshit good girls, they are prostitutes! Do you know what a prostitute is? Sleeping with thousands of people - "
"Pah!" A loud slap in the face made the tattooed rogue stagger. You Jiuniang's colored lenses were on fire and she sneered, "Even if I sleep with ten thousand men, it won't be your turn! Others still have a few ounces of flesh under their crotches. , counting the fat on your belly and the brains in your head, can you make up one or two?"
The roar of laughter suddenly echoed throughout the street.
The earthworm rogue was so angry that his face turned green and red, and veins popped out on his forehead. He couldn't help but punched You Jiuniang in the face. The rogue boy screamed, "I can't afford to pay for the injury!", and the onlookers looked horrified. He exclaimed, watching helplessly as the big fist made a "dong" sound... and was lightly held by a hand.
There was dead silence.
Everyone stared at the person standing in front of You Jiuniang in amazement. She was a young lady, dressed in fancy clothes, with long eyebrows. She held her tattooed fist as easily as if she were holding a lump of dough. In comparison, , the tattooed bastard's face was livid, and his legs were shaking like chaff. It was obvious that he couldn't bear the strength of this little lady.
"This -" Lin Sui'an was a little confused about the name of the tattooed gangster. According to the customs of this era, men were basically called "brother", but it seemed a bit indecent to call him "brother gangster" directly. Lin Sui'an's eyes were on his arm. He turned around the tattoo and chose a name, "This - Brother Earthworm, you are sexually harassing me."
"My surname is not Sao——" Brother Earthworm had just said four words when he heard a click on his arm and fell to the ground with a cry. His arm was bent at a strange angle and was unexpectedly broken.
Lin Sui'an smiled and said, "Your mouth is not too dirty. How about I help you wash your tongue again?"
Brother Earthworm's face was pale, he was dripping with cold sweat, and he almost lost his breath in pain. He said unforgivingly, "Who do you think you are? Do you know who I am?" The second half of the sentence was not spoken. She covered his mouth and dragged him back with all her strength.
"My dear mother! She is Lin Sui'an from the Hua family!"
"A hundred of you are not enough for her to chop!"
The tattooed scoundrel's eyes bulged out, and he kicked his feet wildly. He was dragged away from the scene by two younger brothers.
The people all around applauded and cheered.
"Thank you, Miss Lin, for rescuing the siege." You Jiuniang bowed her head and suddenly tilted her body, falling towards Lin Sui'an as if she was boneless, "Oh, I'm a timid person, I can't be frightened the most, my legs are weak—— "
This fall was full of charm and charm. Lin Sui'an didn't dare not help him, and put his arms around You Jiuniang's slender waist. You Jiuniang spun around in a circle, and took advantage of the situation to pose with her waist lowered and her legs crossed. In this posture, the white gauze of the power fence flew up for a moment, and then fluttered down.
Lin Sui'an's pupils shrank violently.
There were three pearl hairpins on You Jiuniang's bun. This time she could see it clearly. One of them was exactly the same as the hairpin that Goldfinger had seen.
Good guy, I looked for him thousands of times in the crowd, but suddenly I looked back, but he was in a dimly lit place!
Lin Sui'an raised his eyebrows and smiled, hooked You Jiuniang's legs and bent into a standard princess hug, "You Jiuniang, thank you for your hard work, why don't you come with me and have a good rest?"
You Jiuniang's pretty face flushed, "Of course I am willing, but I brought a younger sister with me today, wouldn't it be a good idea to leave her like this~"
Lin Sui'an: "It doesn't matter, let's go together."
Amidst the cheers from the crowd, there was a discordant gasp.
Lin Sui'an turned around in surprise and saw Yangdu's No. 1 Dandy a few steps away, his whole body stiffened, his complexion turned black, his forehead hair green, his golden fan fell to the ground, and he was disgraced. :,,
