Chapter 236 Priceless
Sent away Hua Wuying and Wu Changfeng, some of the disciples of the Wulin League who were accompanying them wanted to rush back to Luoyi to inform Jiang Baichuan, and some of them immediately wanted to follow their orders. Senior brother and young leader of the alliance went to deal with the chaos caused by Qianlong's post.
In the blink of an eye, the tea shop that was bustling just now was deserted, with only two people, two horses and a car left.
"Brother." Tang Jiao looked at Fu Qingzhou and asked sweetly: "Where are we?"
Fu Qingzhou smiled helplessly and took a sip of herbal tea: "Brother Hua asked us to spread the news If you are alive, let’s work.”
As he said that, he put down the bowl and turned to look at the tea shop owner: "Brother, can I ask you something?"
When he just started killing people, everyone in the tea shop was watching. Some timid tea patrons were so frightened that they ran away. The boss obviously wanted to run away too, but the business of the shop was still there. With all his wealth here, how could he escape?
So the boss could only hide in the corner and tremble.
Seeing Fu Qingzhou call his name, he trembled with fright, and seemed to be crying and laughing: "Da, Da Xia, I, I didn't offend you..."
"What are you talking about? Yeah? ”
Fu Qingzhou laughed: "Don't worry, I'm a very nice person - let me ask you, which is the largest town nearby and how to get there?"
The tea shop owner breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand and pointed far away: " Go north for twenty miles from here and there will be a fork in the road. Take the left one and go northwest for another ten miles and you will reach Hengfeng City."
"Thank you."
Fu Qingzhou nodded and smiled at him, then turned to look at Tang Jiao: "Jiaojiao, let's get on the road immediately."
They did not take the carriage again, and the carriage was abandoned on the official road, one person and one horse. , and rushed towards Hengfeng City... After all, the carriage was too slow.
"Brother!"
Tang Jiao spurred the horse and shouted loudly: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"We are in a hurry." Fu Qingzhou did not shout, his inner breath was extremely strong, The soft voice easily overcame the sound of horse hooves and the sound of wind: "On August 15th, it is already mid-to-late June, and it will take time for the news to spread. If we don't hurry up, there will be many more people in the world." It's a murder."
Tang Jiao looked suspicious: "Brother, how are we going to spread the news?"
"Of course we can't just chat in a restaurant, that's too inefficient. ”
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "Professional things still need to be done by professional people."
The sound of horse hooves was fast, the smoke was flying, and the thirty-mile journey was completed in a blink of an eye.
Not long after, the two arrived at Hengfeng City, which the tea shop owner said was the largest nearby.
This city is ordinary, not close to mountains or rivers, but because it is located in a plain and is an official transportation hub, it can be said to be connected in all directions. Once you enter the city, you can see caravans and commercial markets everywhere. It is extremely prosperous and the streets are busy with traffic. It is indeed a big city.
Fu Qingzhou led the horse and walked among them. His eyes kept turning on the signs of various shops, and finally settled on a quite luxurious pawn shop called Wanbaodang.
There is a small Nebula Chamber of Commerce logo in the corner of this pawn shop's sign.
“Let’s go, this is it.”
He laughed and walked inside with Tang Jiao.
There are quite a lot of people in this pawn shop. There are several courtiers sitting behind the long counter. There are customers who come to pawn things, and there are also some obviously wealthy people who gather around the pawn shop shelves to observe carefully.
The pawn shop collects items according to the pawn principle - before the pawn expires, the pawn can redeem it; if no one comes to redeem it after it expires, the pledge will be handled by the pawn shop itself, or it will be kept or sold again. .
Obviously, the things on the shelves are expired pawned items and are already commodities, so someone will come to find out.
This is the first time Fu Qingzhou has seen such a lively pawnshop since he came to this world.
He and Tang Jiao were young and well-traveled, and they did not appear to be particularly wealthy people. After entering the pawn shop, no one greeted them at all.
He didn’t mind either, and lined up quietly and honestly.
When he was waiting in line, Lao Chaofeng behind the counter window only glanced at him and already yawned, looking bored.
Fu Qingzhou smiled, took out the Nebula Token, and pressed it gently on the counter: "Brother, let's see how much this is worth?"
Lao Chaofeng rubbed his eyes, and when he took a closer look, his expression suddenly changed.
"Ayo, ayo..."
He quickly put on a smile: "This is a good thing, sir, please come in, please come in!"
Pop With a bang, the window closed directly, and Lao Chao Fengpidianpidian ran out from the counter. In the surprised eyes of all the pawnshop customers, he led Fu Qingzhou and Tang Jiao into the small door on the side.
Just before the door closed, a scholar walked into the door of the pawn shop.
The scholar's arms were full of volumes of calligraphy and painting. His eyes caught sight of Fu Qingzhou's back as he entered the small door and closed the door behind his back. He murmured: "Why does it look familiar..."
If Fu Qingzhou looked back at this moment, he would definitely call out the scholar's name in surprise. Yue Heng!
This scholar is none other than Yue Heng, the scholar whom Fu Qingzhou protected for three days in the ruined temple and with whom he was quite close!
But at this time, Yue Heng did not recognize his good brother from behind, and Fu Qingzhou did not look back.
As the small door closed, Yue Heng quickly returned his attention to the calligraphy and painting in his arms.
He put on a smile, came to the cabinet, and excitedly splashed all the calligraphy and paintings on the counter.
"Sir, take a look, these are worth..."
Before he finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came from the side.
"Yue Heng?"
Yue Heng turned his head and saw a group of wealthy young men in silk and satin walking over with disdain and arrogance.
They had just gathered around the pawn shop shelves to pick up leaks, when they noticed Yue Heng and approached one after another.
The leader of the young master’s eyes were slightly cold, and he said with a smile: "Why are you so blind? You have offended Mr. Lan, and you still want to make a living in the city? Get out of here, Hengfeng City There is no place for you to stand!"
Yue Heng scratched his head: "Huh? Xiaosheng offended Mr. Lan? Why didn't I know..."
He carefully looked at the young man in front of him: "Brother, who are you...?"
The young man suddenly became furious: "Damn it, I was right next to you that day, how dare you say You don’t know me! Beat me up if you dare to humiliate me!”
Yue Heng looked puzzled, but when he saw those dandy men rushing forward with their fists, he could only prepare to run away in panic.
But as soon as he ran two steps, he thought of his calligraphy and paintings, and quickly turned back to get them... He couldn't escape from this delay.
In the blink of an eye, those dandy boys rushed up and pushed Yue Heng to the ground.
For a moment, the pawnshop became a commotion. The fearful customers dispersed in a hurry. Yue Heng screamed and screamed in pain. The dandy boys laughed wildly and beat and kicked...
Fu Qingzhou didn't know all this.
After using the Nebula Order to enter the small door and the backyard of the pawn shop, he and Tang Jiao were invited into a quiet teahouse.
Lao Chaofeng respectfully made tea for them and said softly: "Young Shaoxia Fu and Nuxia Tang, are you coming here to do some business? Or do you want to see if there is any Bai Fang guest mission, and want to earn some money?" "Some extra money?"
Tang Jiao was quite surprised when Lao Chaofeng called out her identity, and her beautiful eyes immediately widened.
Fu Qingzhou had seen what the Nebula Chamber of Commerce was capable of, so he was not surprised and laughed: "There is a deal."
He did not hide anything and told what the Wulin League planned to do next.
These things cannot be a secret for an organization like the Nebula Chamber of Commerce, let alone purchasing their services next.
Lao Chaofeng listened carefully, stroking his goatee, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
“Therefore, my request is simple.”
Fu Qingzhou said softly: "I just hope that the Nebula Chamber of Commerce will disseminate the content of the news I said, quickly and in a wide range... I wonder what the price is based on this calculation?"
Lao Chaofeng nodded slightly, After seeming to think for a moment, he slowly said: "Young Master Fu, please wait a moment."
As he said that, he took out an abacus from his arms.
"Young hero, you don't know something."
Lao Chaofeng smiled softly and said: "I, Situ Chong, is a Class A actuary of the Nebula Chamber of Commerce. Everything in the three provinces is difficult to price. , all calculated by me.”
After saying that, Situ Chong lowered his head and began to calculate with his fingers flying.
His fingers on the abacus almost turned into afterimages, while his other hand was calculating something simultaneously, and he was also mumbling something.
Fu Qingzhou and Tang Jiao looked at each other in surprise.
Can the price of this thing really be calculated?
Anyway, for Fu Qingzhou, he always thought that the Nebula Chamber of Commerce would roughly estimate the price of such relatively abstract and difficult-to-price things based on difficulty... But it seems that they actually have a set of calculations. Method?
Situ Chong concentrated on it and after thinking for a long time, he took a long breath and stopped.
Then he smiled bitterly and looked up at Fu Qingzhou: "Young hero, this matter... is priceless."
