Lu Baichuan raised his eyebrows. Is there anything about him that makes him worthy of making friends? Is it too late to change it now?
The second son of the Lin family didn’t know what he was thinking, so he said directly: “I wonder if the third master has ever heard of the treasure passed down from ancient times?”
Lu Baichuan Shaking his head firmly: "No."
The second son of the Lin family blinked: "Impossible! Mr. Jiang, you are often out and about, how could you not have heard of it?"
"But it's okay. Now I'll tell you the same thing. It's this, this, that, that..."
He told Lu Baichuan what he had heard about the treasure during this time. .
I guess I went to ask specifically, and what I heard was more detailed than what I heard at Miao Lanlan’s engagement party that night.
Lu Baichuan was very disdainful: "How can the second young master believe such things as fooling a three-year-old child? That shouldn't be the case!"
The second son of the Lin family felt that Lu Baichuan looked down on him. , but he has no evidence.
"Nine times out of ten it's true! I heard that the imperial court has sent people to look for it, and many people in the world have begun to look for it. It is a treasure passed down from ancient times. It is said that it can directly overthrow the world. The world!"
When he said this, Lin Laoer had a look of obsession in his eyes, as if he had drunk too much.
Lu Baichuan looked at him with disgust and asked: "So why did the second young master come to me?"
Lin Laoer immediately smiled and said: "That's not it. Because Mr. San, are you always on the road? The news comes quickly, so I want you to pay attention to it for me. Don’t worry, my brothers will settle the accounts. How about two thousand taels for one piece of news?”
That’s it.
Lu Baichuan knew clearly in his heart that he knew they were leaving tomorrow and wanted to get closer.
Two thousand taels for a piece of news is really generous.
Lin Laoer waited for a while, and when Lu Baichuan did not speak, he simply said: "Five thousand taels! But you can only sell the information to me, and you can't give it to anyone else!"
< br />Lu Baichuan took one look at him. With his chubby figure, he looked like a silly son of a landlord, with no humanity.
"Okay, since the second young master is so sincere, then Jiang will not fail to appreciate it. However, Jiang still wants to advise that most of the rumors outside are false, and the second young master should think twice. Ah! Besides, the Lin family is already so rich, there is really no need..."
Lin Lao Er raised his hand to stop him from saying any more: "Mr. Jiang, don't say those depressing words, I'd rather believe them. Yes, don't believe it, just tell me the latest news you get. I will consider whether it is true or false, and I will spend a lot of money.for you! ”
Lu Baichuan: ...It’s hopeless.
Anyway, the people from the court are coming soon. The Lin family will definitely be investigated. The second young master of the Lin family can’t be stupid for a few days. I don’t need to use my words to persuade.
“In that case, I won’t say more. "
Lin Laoer nodded repeatedly, patted his shoulder and began to call him brother, and then pushed the exquisite small box in front of Lu Baichuan.
"To show sincerity, here is It's a 10,000-tael banknote. It's like buying our agreement. After that, the information you give us will be calculated separately! ”
I have to say that Lu Baichuan’s eyes were really opened. The Lin family’s wealth is really no joke.
If this didn’t give him a few clues, Lu Baichuan would have I'm embarrassed to accept so much money.
After sending away the second son of the Lin family, Lu Baichuan took the 10,000 taels he received and gave it to Jiang Jiuniang.
Jiang Jiuniang was very unbelievable. That two fool’s money is so easy to deceive?
“People’s hearts are so weak that they want to find some treasure even though they are so rich. No wonder those people in the world can’t stand the temptation. "
" A treasure that will subvert the world. It is a wealth that is overwhelming. Who wouldn't be tempted?
"Since he is so sincere, let's give him a clue. . ”
Lin Laoer didn’t expect Lu Baichuan to be so reliable. The next day, someone sent him a clue. He was so happy that he didn’t read the content and directly gave it to Lao Wuwu who sent the letter. Qianliang, let him take it back.
He happily took the note and went back, hid in the study, carefully closed the door, and then opened it mysteriously, but his expression changed as soon as he saw it.
The note said: It may be Dongting’s method to deal with the imperial court. When the imperial court investigates, all those involved will be held accountable.
Lin Laoer was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. His family is just a businessman with some money, and there is no one in the court. If he is held responsible, he will definitely be dead!
Fortunately, Lu Baichuan is reliable and gave him such explosive news as soon as he came. !
This is saving his life!
He wiped his sweat, then quickly burned the note, then found a servant and ordered it to Lu Baichuan Send a banknote of twenty thousand taels.
Not long after Old Wu returned and gave the money to Jiang Jiuniang, servants from the Lin family came to the door. When they saw Lu Baichuan and Jiang Jiuniang, they said, "My second young master said You two are his saviors, so I'll take this as a thank you to you, please don't refuse. ”
Jiang Jiu Niang didn’t expect that Lin Laoer was quite good at it. It’s strange.Heeding the advice, he accepted the money with peace of mind and said in a rare move: "Go back and tell your young master that good deeds will be rewarded with good deeds. Cherish the present moment. If you are too greedy, you will only lose too much."
He nodded and told Jiang Jiuniang's words to Lin Laoer when he got back.
"High, really high!"
Lin Laoer couldn't help but clapped his hands and said: "I just said, how could such a big official as the prefect be governed by the two of them? Damn it, now it seems that they are not just businessmen and doctors, they may also be powerful in the court. The information given by such people is often the most useful! Damn the treasure, this young master is still It’s not rare anymore! Huh!”
That night, the trend in Qianzhou City changed. They had been discussing the treasure before, but suddenly no one dared to talk about it. Occasionally, they were just scolding each other. The people of Dongting are so shameless that they can come up with such a way to deal with their country!
Lu Baichuan and his wife did not expect that Lin Laoer was quite reliable and did such a great thing before they left.
When leaving the next morning, Jiang Jiuniang gave Sister-in-law Wu a token and said: "Sister-in-law Wu, if we are not here, you will have to guard this house. If you don't have enough money, go to the shop." Just record the withdrawals in the account book. You don't need to be too harsh on yourself, but you can't be too presumptuous just because we are not here. You know my bottom line. In addition, the second young master of the Lin family is destined to us. If someone from the court comes to investigate later, If the Lin family commits a crime, you can take this token to the court and ask them to spare the life of the Lin family's second son."
Well, just think of it as an expression of gratitude for the news of the walk last night. .
Sister-in-law Wu knew that her master’s status was unusual, but she didn’t expect that even high-ranking officials in the court would listen to them. She was shocked and at the same time very proud. They were the husband and wife of such a master. Man's blessing.
"Madam, don't worry, my servant will definitely take good care of the family and do the things arranged by madam."
At this time, Old Wu came in and said respectfully: "Master, Madam, the carriage is ready."
