The Golden Age Chapter 598: There used to be a woman
When the woman entered the house, Chen Xi had already got up, arched her hands, and said nothing.
The woman instantly regained her composure, and her voice was peaceful: "Did you two bring the votes?"
At this time, I can find a pawnshop without room, so I am a regular customer, and I know the rules of the pawnshop very well.
Chen Xi took out the piece of Tianhu silk cloth and handed it over with both hands. The woman took it without saying a word. She turned and went out the door. She was wearing a black plain clothes and wrapped her beautiful body, Qin Xiao looked at She slid her waist and walked out the door, her face calming down.
"Master Qin seems to be surprised?" Chen Xi is so keen, she has naturally seen a hint, and asked in a low voice: "Do you know her?"
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I never thought there would be women in the pawnshop."
"Master Qin knows something." Chen Xi said softly with a smile: "Actually, women have more ways to inquire about intelligence than men. Women are at least half of the spies of various forces to inquire about intelligence. Naturally, you know about Kyoto Music Studio. There is Yinggeyan dance inside, but inside it is also the most frequent place for spies everywhere."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "That's how it is."
"This pawnshop is doing an underground business." Chen Xi said in a low voice: "It looks ordinary, and it's a scissors shop, but all this is just to cover up. Preserving objects is only the scope of their business. One, they have many types of business, but the most important business is intelligence. If Master Qin needs any intelligence, you can trade with them here. If they have the information you need and the price is right, this business It can be negotiated."
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, looking calm, but he was already overwhelmed in his heart.
After waiting for a short while, he saw the little old man walk in with a very ordinary wooden box, put it on the table, and said, "This is the goods with ticket number Ding Xin Qisi. Good."
"Excuse me, how long has this box been kept here?" Qin Xiao asked.
The little old man was expressionless, shook his head, and said nothing.
Qin Xiao was taken aback, but immediately understood that the other party was able to take out the box only because he received the ticket, but he would not answer too many questions.
"Open for business today, do you two have other business to do?" The old man said: "If not, Xiao Lao will send them away."
Chen Xi nodded and said: "Yes, I need to know the specific answer when this box was stored here, I don't know how much money is needed?"
The little old man said: "If you want to talk about business, you can only talk to the shopkeeper. Please wait!" Turning around and going out again, he will be back soon, saying: "The shopkeeper said, if the customer can bid one hundred tael Silver, we can do this transaction."
Black shop!
Qin Xiao thought that this inn was really a big lion's mouth. He just wanted to know the storage time of this box. He even offered a price of one hundred taels of silver, so he was really not afraid of his tongue.
But he also knows that since the other party has opened this price, there is no chance to bargain, and if he can't get a hundred taels of silver, the deal will not be negotiated.
"Okay!" Chen Xi nodded and said to Qin Xiao: "I don't have money on my body."
Qin Xiao glanced at Chen Xi, full of distrust, but still honestly took a hundred taels of silver notes and handed them over. The little old man took the silver notes with both hands, still expressionless, and went out again. Go, come back
At the time, he held a piece of yellow paper in his hand and handed it to Qin Xiao. Qin Xiao took it and opened it up. It said "Tiansheng three years, October seventh day".
Today is May 17th of the sixth year of Tiansheng. That is to say, Wang Hongcai stored this box here for almost three years. At that time, Wang Hongcai and Yu Xuanwu were not married. Now it is completely certain that Wang Hongcai married Yu Xuanwu back. Home, it is indeed for Yugenwu to send the ticket to Kyoto, and then the Kyoto connector will take the box from here with the ticket.
The person in Kyoto must also be aware of the existence of black market pawnshops.
Qin Xiao handed the note to Chen Xi, and after Chen Xi read it, he lit it with a light.
"That woman just now is your shopkeeper?" Qin Xiao asked.
The old man did not answer, but just said: "Do you have any other business to discuss?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao said: "I want to discuss a business with your shopkeeper and help me get information from someone. I don't know how much money is needed?"
"This requires the shopkeeper to set the price himself." The old man said: "Wait a minute."
Chen Xi waited for the old man to go out before asking, "Who do you want to ask?"
"It's just a personal matter." Qin Xiao thought about it for a while, then said: "I have a benefactor in Xiling. He was once my immediate boss. When Li Tuo rebelled, he was still alive and dead. I really want to know what he is now. Life is death."
Except for Qin Xiao's very secret and unknown information, Chen Xi still has a general understanding of Qin Xiao's situation, knowing that he had been in the Guicheng Duwei's Mansion, and didn't ask much.
After the little old man came back, he shook his head and said: "I'm really sorry, the shopkeeper doesn't do this business."
"No." Chen Xi frowned, "As far as I know, your pawnshops can do this kind of transaction. Why don't you do this business without asking prices?"
The little old man said: "The shopkeeper said that if you don't do this business today, then you won't make a price." He raised his hand and said: "Little old man will send you two out."
As soon as his words fell, Qin Xiao had already stepped forward abruptly, reached out and pinched the little old man’s neck, Chen Xi changed his color slightly: "Don’t be reckless."
"I have to do this business today, but you can't refuse it." Qin Xiao sneered: "If you don't take this business today, I promise that your pawnshop will disappear tomorrow, believe it or not?"
The little old man didn't show any panic, was pinched by his throat, but closed his eyes.
Chen Xi got up, took Qin Xiao's hand, and pulled his hand away.
"The little old man is just a guy in this pawnshop." The little old man waited for Qin Xiao's hand to be pulled away, tidyed up his clothes, and calmly said, "Since the shopkeeper has ordered not to do this business, the distinguished guest will take it off. Little old head, this can't be done either."
Qin Xiao sneered: "Okay, can you do other business? I want you to take off someone's head."
The little old man was about to say something when suddenly he heard a bell ringing outside, and he looked very crisp in this deadly pawnshop.
"The distinguished guest, come with me." The little old man said suddenly, without much nonsense, and turned around. Qin Xiao was a little surprised. Chen Xi frowned and said to Qin Xiao: "You want to trade with them, you can go now. Now, as soon as the bell rang, it means that their pawnshop shopkeeper is willing to sit down and discuss business with you." Sit down at the table and say: "I am waiting for you here."
Qin Xiao hesitated, and finally went out with him.
Little old man
Er's rickety body walked in front, Qin Xiao followed behind, opened a curtain, and walked into a dark walkway. After walking a few steps forward, the little old man stood in front of a wall and suddenly stretched out his hand to press against the wall. The wall did not make any sound, but it turned like a windmill, revealing a gap, with lights on inside, and the little old man bent over and said: "The shopkeeper is waiting inside, please!"
Qin Xiao glanced inside, but found that the layout inside was much more exquisite than the scissor shop. He walked in through the gap, and just two steps out, the wall behind him closed quickly.
This is a very spacious room, antique in style. There are two long rows of bookshelves on the left and right sides, which are filled with various books and letters. The floor is yellow wood floor, and there is a lucky charm in the middle. The jade toad is very huge. There is an antique table in front of the table. A lamppost made of fine copper stands on the left and right sides of the table. Oil lamps are lit. Sitting there on his knees, the white mask on his face was very permeating under the light.
Qin Xiao stared at the mask, and the eyes under the mask looked at Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao walked forward slowly, a few steps away from the case, the woman already said: "Please sit down!"
There is an exquisitely crafted futon at Qin Xiao's feet. Qin Xiao stopped, sat down on the futon cross-legged, staring at the eyes under the mask and said: "Are you the treasurer of the seamless pawnshop?"
"You can call me the white shopkeeper." The woman sits elegantly and has a peaceful voice: "What business are you going to do?"
"Find someone!"
"Who are you looking for?"
Qin Xiao pondered slightly before saying: "An old friend."
"Oh?"
"I was born in Xiling." Qin Xiao stared at the mask humane: "One year after I left Kunlun Pass, I met a woman outside the pass. She was in a difficult situation at the time. I helped her by chance, and lived and died with her. Fortunately, there is no danger. She was the first woman I was attracted to. At that time, I thought about how happy it would be to get along with her day and night, and I even thought it was impossible at the time."
The masked man just looked at Qin Xiao and said nothing.
"Back to Xiling, I thought I could stay with her for a long time." Qin Xiao slowly said: "I even got ready to propose a marriage, no matter what kind of resistance, I will not be afraid, thinking of certain I want her to be my wife. I don’t care what she did before, I only care about being able to take care of each other after that. She was in a good mood that day. I went shopping with her and even had a meal in a restaurant that day. I was very happy, but I left for a short while, and when I came back, I realized that she was gone."
"I waited for a long time, and she never came back. I looked around, but there was no news from her." Qin Xiao said calmly: "I don't know where she came from, let alone where she is going, I Sometimes I even wonder if the days with her were just a dream? But she left a thing, because that thing is so real, so I believe that she does exist, I have no ability to find her, But I worry day and night, I just hope that everything is okay for her." At this point, I took out a small black package from my arms, opened the package, and took out a delicate sachet from inside. The sachet said "Happy "," said "Rong" on the other side, Qin Xiao held it in his hand and said softly: "This is the only token she left me. I hope you can help me find her and tell her that I have been there. Thinking of her."
His arm moved forward, and the sachet flew straight out and landed on the table in front of the masked man.
