queen and pro

Chapter 28

Lan Qin found the nearest chair and sat down, then took out the jade pendant given to her by the man in black from her arms, and threw it on the table: "I don't know if I am qualified to see your shopkeeper now!"

"This..." The guy's face immediately changed when he saw the jade pendant, and he stammered, "Guy, customer, you, please wait a moment, we, the shopkeeper, will be here soon!"

After finishing speaking, he ran upstairs with ding ding dong dong.

After a few seconds, he bent down again and walked down.

"Guest, please come with me!" He said and made a gesture of invitation to the stairs.

Lan Qin gave Eunuch Liu a wink, indicating that he would wait for her downstairs, and then walked up with the bag on his shoulders.

The man brought Lan Qin to an antique door on the second floor, and knocked on the door respectfully.

Soon, the door opened from the inside.

Lan Qin walked in slowly, and found that the room was like a study room, furnished elegantly and simply. The purpose of entry was a row of bookshelves, which were filled with books of various colors. It was painted by a famous artist, and a middle-aged man with a mustache was sitting under the painting. He waved away the servant girl and the man, got up and welcomed Lan Qin in.

"I don't know what's the matter with the distinguished guest coming here?" Ba Zihu asked, while eyeing Lan Qin unabashedly.

Lan Qin was not shy either, she threw the jade pendant on the table with her right hand, untied the bundle with her left hand, and spread it on the table.

"I'm here for this!"

Mustache looked at the pile of golden jewelry in front of him in surprise, his face was full of puzzlement: "Girl, what is this?"

"Don't you owe me a request? I ask you to buy this batch of jewelry now, and then I will return the jade pendant to you." Lan Qin pushed the jade pendant in front of him as he spoke.

The reason why Lan Qin did this is also after careful consideration. The most important thing she needs in order to escape is money. Last time the emperor rewarded her with a bunch of beautiful but useless jewelry, and these jewelry are all unique boutiques. I am not familiar with the place here, where can I find someone to sell it, and most of these jewelry have imprints, so ordinary pawnshops dare not accept them, besides, it is easy for her to get herself into trouble by pawning these things like this.After thinking about it, it's better to get this bank to convert it.

"Do you know the value of this jade pendant?" A gleam flashed in Bazihu's eyes, and he looked at Lan Qin more seriously.

"I don't know." I don't know, but it doesn't mean I can't guess. In this ancient times, except for members of the royal family, who would dare to wear a dragon-shaped jade pendant? It is because of this that Lan Qin wants to return this jade pendant. Now she can't wait to hold a jade pendant. He piled up gold, hid in a place where no one knew him, became a local rich man, and lived a leisurely life.

"Girl, don't you regret it?" The mustache asked superfluously, as if confirming something.

"Oh, I'm sure I won't regret it, shopkeeper, just give it to me!" Lan Qin really didn't want to talk to her anymore, and just wanted to take the money and leave.

"Girl, I can exchange the money for you, but I can't take this jade pendant, you'd better return it to the deity yourself!" The mustache looked at the green dragon jade pendant like a scourge, and immediately pushed it back in front of Lan Qin.

"Okay, whatever. Shopkeeper, let's see how much these jewelry are worth, and give them all to me in silver notes, okay?" Lan Qin thought about it, and it's more convenient to take silver notes. If he went out with a heavy bag of gold, , that is not considered by thieves.

"Okay, girl, wait a moment!" Ba Zihu pushed open the door and walked out.

Within 2 minutes, he held a dark and exquisite box and pushed open the door.

"This is 20 taels of silver bills, girl, please check and accept!" Ba Zihu opened the box, and there was a neat stack of silver bills inside.

Lan Qin also declined, took the box, and counted carefully, no more, no less, exactly 200, each with a face value of 1000 taels.

"That's right, thank you shopkeeper." Lan Qin put the banknote in his arms, turned and walked out.

"Ma'am, shall we go back to the palace now?" Eunuch Liu couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw that it was almost Haishi (nine to eleven o'clock in the evening). After all, a weak girl and an unarmed eunuch were carrying a huge sum of money to stay in this mixed place. Very unsafe.

"No, I'll take you somewhere." Lan Qin got into a carriage, and then gave instructions to the driver.

After a while, the carriage stopped beside an alley.

Lan Qin led Eunuch Liu into the alley, followed the same pattern, and once again climbed into the Lan Mansion from the tree branch.What she didn't know was that two people with strong martial arts were following behind them all the time. They were relieved to see the two climb into the empty courtyard, but they still hid in the dark, not daring to leave. go.

"Let's rest here tonight, you can find a room to sleep at will!" Before Eunuch Liu could ask, Lan Qin dismissed him, found a candlestick, and went to Lan Sizhi's study.

Lan Sizhi's study room was much dustier than last time, probably because it had not been tidied up for too long, and the rest was exactly the same as when she came last time.

Lan Qin gently opened the door, and the mottled shadow of the candle flame swayed on the wall, adding a touch of shock.Lan Qin held back the fear in her heart and walked in firmly.

In the end, she came to Lan Sizhi's desk again, leaned her head up and looked at the inkstone on the table, and this really showed her the clue, because it hadn't been used for a long time, a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the inkstone , However, there was a circle of finger marks on the surface. Lan Qin pressed her finger on it and found that the fingerprint was a circle thicker than her finger. It seemed that it should be a man's finger print.

Who has been back to Lan Mansion?Who knew there was such an institution?
After much deliberation, Lan Qin felt that Lan Sizhi was the most suspected, and besides him, who else would know that there was an institution here.So how would he react when he saw that the fake beard was gone?
It seems that the truth of the matter can only be known after the investigation of the man in black comes back.Lan Qin shook her head, didn't think about it, and walked around the study again, hoping to find some clues, but this time she was not so lucky, after searching for a long time, she didn't even find a ghost. Qin had no choice but to walk to his room in frustration.

Fortunately, Lan Qin's room is not far from the study, otherwise it would be quite scary to walk alone in this quiet house.Lan Qin walked to the bed, fortunately there was a curtain around the bed, otherwise the bed would be full of dust.

Lan Qin was lying on the bed, looking at the round moon outside the window, but couldn't fall asleep. She always felt like a feather was fluttering in her heart, itchy and a little irritable.

After a long time, she finally resigned herself to getting up, but her feet seemed to have taken root, and she walked towards the dressing table on her own, she really wanted to stop, but there was another voice in her heart that kept saying Urging her closer.
