Chapter 470: Business

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Bai Lingmiao was so frightened by the other party's actions that he took a step back and shrank behind Li Huowang. "I...I'm married."

Looking at the tall and thick servant behind him, Li Huowang was ready to take action, but he didn't know that the other party's reaction was beyond his expectation.

"Oh, I've disturbed Madam, I hope you won't be offended." Upon hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in the young man's eyes, he bowed to Bai Lingmiao gracefully, turned around and walked forward.

Passing by a group of beggars, he casually threw a handful of silver coins at them, then turned around and saluted another girl.

Being so frivolous will naturally not get a good look, but he is not annoyed when faced with others' rejection, and goes on to say hello to other girls.

Looking at his back, Li Huowang thought for a while and then directly raised his voice to remind: "The cat in your arms is fake, made of three pieces of broken jade."

"Oh?!" The young man held the jade cat in his hand and turned around in surprise. "Brother, are you mistaken? The shopkeeper just said this is worth five thousand taels."

"This is a set. You were deceived. There are three vertical marks and two horizontal marks under the left foot of your jade cat."

"If you have those marks on your cat, someone will know that they will quote you five thousand taels as soon as they touch it. But even if you sell it to him for two thousand taels, he won't take it."

"Oh?! Are you serious?"

When he saw the young man holding the jade cat in his arms in surprise and walking towards the jade shop, Li Huowang took Bai Lingmiao's hand and walked forward. "Let's go, there will probably be a fight soon."
After walking a certain distance, Bai Lingmiao looked at Li Huowang in surprise, "Brother Li, you didn't even look at his jade cat, how did you know that the jade cat was fake?"

Li Huowang did not answer this question. In fact, the deception techniques are actually the same. This kind of scam is also used by Zuowangdao.

As long as one of the Zuowangdao leaves a mark on a person, even if the two people behind him do not collude, when they meet other Zuowangdao, they will use the same routine to deceive based on the reminder of the mark.

If a person says this, he may be suspected of being a liar, but if everyone he meets tells the same lies, then even the most determined person will waver and doubt himself.

For example, before, those who were sitting on Wangdao had no contact with each other, but they all said in unison that they were Hongzhong, using this kind of deception.

I just didn’t expect that I would actually become famous after lying.

After this little episode, neither of them took it to heart.

Later, Bai Lingmiao had a great time and even drank some soju.

They played until the lanterns on the street were extinguished one by one, and then Li Huowang walked home carrying the somewhat drunk Bai Lingmiao.

Bai Lingmiao tilted her head and squinted her eyes slightly, and her green-white fingers kept circling Li Huowang's back.

"Senior Brother Li, the Shangsi Festival is so fun. I really want to celebrate the Shangsi Festival every day..."

"Well, we will celebrate Si Festival every day from now on." Li Huowang followed her drunken words.

As he walked, Li Huowang felt that his back was a little wet, and a choking sound came from behind him.

Gradually, the choking sound turned into crying. Bai Lingmiao seemed to want to cover it with her hands, but the crying became louder and louder.

At the end, with snot and tears streaming down her face, she lay on Li Huowang's back and cried like a child.

Bai Lingmiao used her hands as hard as she could to slap Li Huowang's back crazily.

………

Although he stayed with Bai Lingmiao very late last night, Li Huowang got up at dawn.

He did not leave directly, but took a deep breath and dug his fingers into his left eye.

With a sudden force, his left eye was knocked out with blood.

"When she wakes up, tell her and I will help her find a solution to her eyes."

Panting heavily, Li Huowang put his eyeballs on Ershen's hands.

Seeing the red hijab shaking as she nodded, Li Huowang hugged her gently, picked up the two swords on the table and turned around to leave.

Getting up so early, some lanterns on the street had just started to be taken down, and many people were yawning. It was obvious that they had been shopping very late last night.

Li Huowang bought a fried dough stick-wrapped mochi for breakfast and walked towards Jian Tiansi while eating it.

By the time he finished eating, his destination had arrived. Li Huowang wiped his oily hands on the stone lion and walked into the yamen.

Today, the doorkeeper of the Mo family was Sima Lan, who had a black bird on his shoulder. He was very surprised by Li Huowang's appearance.

"Erjiu, I really didn't expect you to be alive. Since you haven't shown up for so long, I thought you were killed by Zuowangdao." Sima Lan's Black Bird said to Li Huowang.

"Maybe I shouldn't have taken my life. If I save another life, Brother Sima will be fine again." Li Huowang handed over to him.

Having met several times, Sima Lan from the Moh family is considered an acquaintance to Li Huowang.

After chatting for a while and swearing a few words, Li Huowang got down to business with him.

He pointed at his left eye, which had only a drooping eyelid left, "Is there anything in the department's library that can heal eyes?"

"Eyes?" Sima Lan thought for a while and then shook his head.

"Brother Erjiu, Jiantiansi's inner treasury is so big, I don't know if it exists. You have to find it yourself. By the way, have you been to the inner treasury before?"

Seeing Li Huowang shaking his head, Sima Lan told him the location of the inner treasury of the Supervisor of Heaven.

After circling the underground corridors extending in all directions for a long time, Li Huowang finally found the so-called inner treasury when he couldn't figure out the direction.

Taking out his waistband to identify his identity, Li Huowang walked in.

When he walked in, Li Huowang felt as if he had shrunk into a mouse and then broken into a large drug store.

In the warehouse, which was so empty that even the words echoed, rows of densely packed wooden cabinets with square lattice were neatly arranged. These wooden cabinets were extremely high, directly touching the three-foot-high ceiling.

The contents inside the wooden grids are very different. Some wooden grids are affixed with charms, and some wooden boxes are tied with chains.

Obviously, these boxes contain the heavenly and earthly treasures controlled by Supervisor Tiansi.

They rely on these things to induce those on the periphery to help Supervisor Tiansi do things.

Not everything is placed in those small square boxes. Some scattered things are placed on the long table in categories.

There are all kinds of weird things, but Li Huowang can't identify their uses.

"Wait, isn't this mine?" Li Huowang reached out and picked up his copper coin mask from the long table.

This thing should have been the last time I pretended to be Hongzhong and my head fell off, and it fell into the hands of Jian Tiansi along with my head.

Although he now has the heart-turbid spindle given to him by Zhuge Yuan, Li Huowang will certainly not refuse it if it can provide a layer of insurance.

Just when he was about to speak, a eunuch walked over from the side with a smile on his face.

He is different from the previous eunuch in the lobby. This eunuch in the inner treasury has no eyes. His eyes were completely replaced by two copper coins, which were sewn on.
