Gu Cheng had just hung up the birdcage when a timid voice came from behind him.
He turned around and saw a poor and helpless child standing not far away.
Han Lingsha's face was dirty and her hair was disheveled. At first glance, she couldn't even distinguish between male and female. She looked like a beggar.
Seeing the young man's clear black and white eyes looking over, Han Lingsha brewed her emotions and whispered: "Brother, my family lives by Yunmeng Lake in Qingzhou. I was killed by water bandits and ended up living here..."
"Look for a good job and be self-reliant!"
Halfway through her words, a broken piece of silver fell on her palm.
"Listen to what others have to say!"
Han Lingsha's face sank slightly and turned red.
The productivity of the Xianwu world is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Although Jiang State is in decline now, it is still a prosperous country and a strong people. There are very few beggars.
In other words, those who beg are either really indolent or have some other reasons.
Deep down in her heart, Han Lingsha felt a sense of pride. She felt that she wanted to learn from her elders and be a chivalrous woman who robbed the rich and helped the poor. How could she really beg?
However, the situation was stronger than the situation. Xiaoxiaonv held it back, forced out an awkward but polite smile, and handed back the broken silver: "I just want to be self-reliant, little brother, don't look at me for being young, but I can see.
!”
Palm Eye is used to appraise and identify antiques and treasures.
Pawnshops sometimes suffer losses and are deceived by people using illusory magic to pass off quality goods. Therefore, every pawnshop has a master who can detect subtle fluctuations in magic power, detect illusions, and identify authenticity.
The skill of the palm-eye master and the adequacy of funds are the key to measuring a pawn shop, and the rest are all trivial matters.
Han Lingsha has learned the skills passed down from the Han family. She has a masterful hand and Feng Shui acupoints. She can not only steal treasures, but also appraise them. Although her experience is definitely not as good as that of the old master of the big pawn shop, she is confident that she can still do the job since Yong'an Pawn Shop is so deserted.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows and looked at the humble little beggar: "I see, you are indeed connected to the pawnshop. Come in!"
Han Lingsha followed him inside, and her first impression was that it was shabby.
You don’t even have any tribute from the Shang Sage, how poor do you have to be...
But that's okay, she's not really looking for a living anyway. As long as she avoids this peak period, she can leave Yuzhou City safely and embark on the road to seek immortality. Yong'an Pawnshop is deserted, but she can avoid exposing her identity, but she is afraid that she won't be able to recruit people.
Open your palms and eyes.
"I'm very clever with my hands and feet. I can do any kind of chores, just enjoy the food!"
In view of this, when she arrived at the main hall, Han Lingsha took the initiative to lower her standards.
"That's too humiliating."
Gu Cheng sat down and took out a contract: "Yong'an Pawnshop is indeed short of an assistant and a handler. If you can pass the one-year probation period, you can become the handler here."
Han Lingsha was startled: "Brother, can you make the decision?"
"I am the shopkeeper."
Gu Chengdao: "You can also call me boss."
"No wonder your tone is so crazy. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you were the largest Shengyu pawnshop in Yuzhou!"
Han Lingsha finally understood that she was a child who didn't understand anything, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Could there be a more suitable hiding place than this?
"Thank you!"
Han Lingsha nodded repeatedly, took the contract, glanced at it, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
There is no time limit, no salary, and no official seal. This is a black market contract.
She pressed the ink pad and pressed it directly.
A formal contract is not just a piece of paper, but also has the auras of both parties imprinted on it. Not only is it difficult to go back on it, but once a person commits a crime and is on the wanted list, he can trace the aura and trace the prisoner's experience clearly.
Han Lingsha originally wanted to use the secret treasure to change her breath, but now that the contract is fake, why not just save the steps?
But as he pressed his thumb, the words on the contract suddenly turned into a stream of light, submerged into the body and disappeared.
"This is……"
Han Lingsha's face changed, but Gu Cheng had already stood up and walked to the backyard: "Come on, wash up. From today on, you don't have to sleep on the street anymore."
Not long after, a beautiful little girl with a slim waist and picturesque features replaced the dirty little beggar, making the whole room brighten up.
"Boss, what goods are kept in the shop now for me to take care of?"
However, Han Lingsha didn't care about Smei. Thinking of the change in the contract just now, she felt uneasy and tried to test her.
Isn't this a shady store? I followed my family in the world since I was a child and capsized in the gutter?
"Don't worry, you will be busy."
Gu Cheng smiled and looked outside: "Look, isn't business coming to your door?"
As soon as the words fell, the door of the pawn shop opened, and a rickety figure slowly walked in.
"Eh? Isn't this Manager Qiu of Yuzhou Commercial Bank?"
When the old man walked into the main hall, Han Lingsha was surprised to find that he was a well-known figure in the Yuzhou business community.
This person’s experience can be called legendary. He grew up in a poor family and had a humble status. He started as a small clerk. In just twenty years, he became the manager of the largest business house in Yuzhou. He was not only deeply trusted by his employer, but also very powerful.
Returning wealth to a person is like becoming a wealthy gentry.
When such a person fell to his knees in front of the long table, Han Lingsha felt incredible.
What happened?
"Boss, I once had a sworn brother who failed in business and was disheartened. He gave me his wealth. Unexpectedly, his son had a misunderstanding and tried to harm me!"
Manager Qiu's clothes were in tatters and his body was covered with bruises. He begged loudly: "Now I have been kicked out by my employer and my property has been confiscated by the government. I beg my boss to save me again!"
Gu Cheng spread out a new contract: "What do you want to pawn this time?"
Manager Qiu has obviously made up his mind: "As long as I can get back my property, my eyes, my hands, my life span, my talent, anything is fine!"
Gu Cheng looked at him and said: "You still have twelve years to live, and you are no longer rich. You live on the streets and become a beggar. Now you want to get your property back, and no matter what you pay, it will not be enough."
Manager Qiu's body trembled.
Gu Cheng added: "You no longer have a pawn, but your closest relatives do, your son who has entered the Jasper Gate..."
Halfway through the words, Guanshi Qiu's expression suddenly changed: "I have worked so hard to provide for him all these years, and I just hope that I can succeed in cultivating immortality. No matter how extraordinary it is, no, absolutely no!"
Gu Chengdao: "In that case, there is no other way!"
"When I came here, I wrote a secret letter to the Censor of Xiuyi, revealing the reasons for their previous failure!"
Manager Qiu shuddered and jumped up: "I don't care whether you are an expert or a monster. If you don't help me, just wait and face the revenge of the Censor of Xiuyi!"
Gu Cheng waved his hand, unmoved.
"you!"
When the threat failed, Manager Qiu's expression changed. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Please help me one more time, boss. It doesn't matter if I lose my family's wealth. The dog's talent is not outstanding. He can enter the Jasper Sect only because I supply a large amount of elixirs every year."
, now that he has returned to his original form, he won’t be able to stay at Biyumen any longer!”
Gu Cheng's face was expressionless, and Han Lingsha couldn't stand it any longer, and said: "Manager Qiu usually does good deeds and accumulates good deeds. Ten years ago, he helped the victims of the flood in Qingzhou. He is a great philanthropist. Boss, if you have the ability, help him
Bar!"
She also figured it out, this young man is probably a hidden master, but the rules are too weird. People in the world are very particular about drawing a sword to help when there is an injustice, and don't repay kindness. This guy is almost taking advantage of it.
Han Lingsha also knew that she had just arrived and was not qualified, but she couldn't bear to see Manager Qiu still being so groveling despite his age.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Manager Qiu not only showed no gratitude, but his expression changed horribly.
"Since you want palm skills, you should start with the arithmetic talent he pawned last time!"
Gu Cheng stretched out his hand and a crystal bottle flew over from the wooden cabinet not far away and landed on the long table.
The bottle cap was turned up, and a phantom appeared inside, fiddling with the abacus, murmuring to himself: "Taking advantage of the flood, how much profit can I make from this batch of materials hoarded? I'm really looking forward to it. Hehe, I'll give it to you this month."
Pan'er can offer more offerings!"
"What?"
Han Lingsha was startled and couldn't believe her ears.
Guanshi Qiu's reputation has always been good. In this fight against Xiuyi Censor, many people in the world are helping him openly and covertly. It is precisely because he has always done good deeds. During the flood ten years ago, he even helped tens of thousands of victims, which became a good talk.
Unexpectedly, behind the disaster relief, there was a mercenary hoarding of supplies and squeezing the victims.
The victims of the disaster were so miserable because of his contribution, but in the end he was grateful to them and gained both fame and fortune.
"Shameless old thief!"
The little chivalrous girl with a strong sense of justice suddenly exploded, pointing at Manager Qiu's nose and scolding: "Anyone who does unjust things will be punished by oneself. God has eyes, so you have ended up like this, and you still want to get home and make money?"
Dream on!"
After scolding him, she still didn't understand her hatred. She rushed forward and kicked Manager Qiu to the ground.
"Good deeds and evil deeds will eventually be rewarded. I have nothing to say. I just have pity on my son, pity my son!"
Manager Qiu was completely disheartened, stood up unsteadily and walked out.
"His fate has nothing to do with God. Don't impose your own moral values."
Watching his back disappear, Han Lingsha was relieved. She felt that the sadness that had been pressed in her chest for the past few days had been relieved. Gu Cheng said: "For heaven and earth, even gods and demons are just to balance the Qing Dynasty."
They are just a turbulent race, with small good and small evil, which have nothing to do with the overall situation of the six realms, and will not be included in the law of heaven, so they may not be repaid for doing evil, but there will be no good results for doing good..."
Han Lingsha said flatly in disbelief: "You are not God, how do you know?"
Gu Cheng smiled: "The core of the way of heaven is balance. The yin and yang are clear and turbid, and the reciprocity of life and death is included in it. Only good and evil are not there, because it is most difficult to distinguish between good and evil. One thought is God, and one thought is devil. It is no longer the innate rules.
To define, Dayan Fifty, its use is Four Nine, the one that breaks fate and escapes. It is possible the day after tomorrow, and maybe it should be here."
