Chapter 18
In the original work of Qing Yunian, Wang Qinian was considered a great thief in his early years. He traveled back and forth between various vassal states and sold the antiques stolen from this country to another country.
He has been a thief for many years and has developed the ability to hide and track. He has excellent light skills and his combat effectiveness is unknown, but he is estimated to be a scumbag.
Because he stole too many things, he was wanted by various countries and was rounded up. After being captured by Chen Pingping, he entered the Supervisory Yuan and became one of the two wings of the Supervisory Yuan.
Later, as time passed by and I had no intention of making progress, I switched to civilian work and became an old man dawdling around.
Wang Qinian has a side that is greedy for money and cunning.
When Fan Xian first entered the capital, the first official he met was Wang Qinian. Wang Qinian sold maps of Kyoto to officials and their children who came to the capital. The price of the maps was extremely high, with a map selling for two taels of silver.
Many people in the city may not understand why it is so expensive for only two taels of silver.
In fact, in ancient times, silver was not the currency used for daily transactions. The currency used for daily transactions was copper coins, and most people had never seen silver in their lives.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, one tael of silver could buy 200 buckets of rice, equivalent to the purchasing power of RMB 4,000.
The maps Wang Qinian sells are very simple, with only some simple symbols such as boxes and triangles drawn on them. Most people don't understand its meaning, but they sell it for two taels of silver.
The legendary white wolf with empty gloves, this is it!
It’s simply huge profits!
Wang Qinian appeared for the second time as a pirated version of Red Mansion. He was very smart and found many housewives to help him sell the book Red Mansion. A copy of Red Mansion was sold for 8 taels of silver, and he gave part of the commission to the housewives, and the rest went into his own pocket.
From this point of view, Wang Qinian is greedy for small profits and speculative, and he has the profit-seeking side of the street citizens. But his image is far from that.
In addition, he also has an admirable side.
He is greedy for money and afraid of his wife, but he loves his daughter very much; he gives up his money to help Teng Zijing's wife and children; he is secretive but extremely talented; he seems cunning but loyal and follows Fan Xian all the way.
On the surface, he is a greedy person, but in fact he is a very scheming and righteous person. This can be seen from the fact that he deceived his superiors and rescued Teng Zijing's wife and children.
Therefore, Fan Xian quite admires Wang Qinian, the right-hand man who Chen Pingping deliberately arranged to be beside Fan Xian, as a document from the forensic institute.
Compared to Teng Zijing, Fan Xian is more willing to trust Wang Qinian. Of course, now is not the time to use him.
"I apologize to you for my subordinate's rudeness just now. This is just a small token of my gratitude. I will treat it as compensation for your mental loss."
Fan Xian took out a gold ingot from his luggage in the carriage and threw it to Wang Qinian.
"How dare you...how dare you..."
Looking at the ingot of gold ingot that shone brightly under the sunlight in his hand, Wang Qinian was dumbfounded and kept saying the word "how dare".
The jade-faced young man is famous for his generous spending, not only in Danzhou but also in Kyoto.
But this...
This is a genuine gold ingot. Wang Qinian put the gold ingot to his mouth and bit it.
it is true!
This is no longer a question of generosity.
With his salary, he would not be able to earn a single gold ingot in five years.
Watching the long motorcade entering the city gate, and looking at the carriage in the middle of the team, Wang Qinian couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Is there any such thing as mental damage compensation?
"Old Wang, you are so angry now. Please drink tonight, but you are not allowed to run away!"
After the convoy had gone far, the soldiers who were guarding the city all approached Wang Qinian, their eyes gleaming as they looked at the gold ingot in his hand.
This is not an ordinary salary. With their salary for guarding the city, they would not be able to earn this much in ten years.
At this time, it is extremely rare to be able to suppress the greed in your heart without taking action to snatch money.
But Wang Qinian knew clearly that there must be many people here who had malicious intentions in their hearts.
It seems that we have to move tonight, we have to move.
Just in case.
Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.
"It's easy to talk, but my wife is sick. I have to go home to take care of you tonight. Brothers, I will treat you to a drink some other day. I won't come back until you get drunk. Well, it's getting late. I have to
gone."
After hurriedly packing up his things, Wang Qinian left in a hurry.
He came to a deserted corner, looked around and took out the gold ingot in his arms, took a bite, and a smile like a flower appeared on his face.
"I've long heard that Mr. Fan spends a lot of money. Now it's my turn to make a fortune. Oh, no, I'm going to lose a lot!"
Suddenly, Wang Qinian seemed to have thought of something. He patted his thigh in annoyance and walked back and forth a few steps.
"If I had known better, I would have asked that girl in red to chop off my arm. Tsk tsk, just being scared would cost me an ingot of gold ingot. If I had chopped off my arm, wouldn't it be..."
"It's a big loss! It's a big loss!"
If Fan Xian hears what Wang Qinian just said, he will have to attack him personally and beat him so hard that even his wife won't recognize him when he returns home.
I gave you the gold ingot because I appreciate you, but you really took me for granted.
My money is not brought by strong winds.
Langya Pavilion has its own business, and Fan Xian made a fortune by killing those two groups of pirates and a group of bandits.
The Fan family doesn't have that much money to spend on him.
The convoy walked some distance further, and the girl in red rode back, sent a message into the room, and informed Fan Xian that there were prostitutes ahead who were preparing to attack Fan Xian's carriage, in order to ruin his reputation.
Hearing the news, Fan Xian was stunned for a moment.
Whoever did this trick is so stupid!
I originally thought that since I had gained the reputation of the Jade-faced Young Master after traveling through time, this trick in the original novel would not appear, but now it seems...
"Such an opponent makes me extremely disappointed!" Fan Xian smiled and then said lightly.
Will the handsome man be afraid that prostitutes will ruin his reputation?
This is definitely not the second prince's method, and it is definitely not the prince's trick.
With the second prince's intelligence, he would never make such a stupid mistake.
Only the eldest princess, who thought she was smart, but in fact had the lowest IQ in the world, could do such a low-level trick.
In the first season, the second prince is the final big boss. Many people think that the second prince is the most scheming and clever person. Even the eldest princess, who appears to be the prince, is actually the prince.
The second prince's people.
Everyone thought that the second prince was much more powerful than the prince.
However, Fan Xian didn't think so. On the contrary, in Fan Xian's opinion, it was most likely the second prince and the eldest princess who were really kept in the dark.
Prince, it is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface!
