Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

At that moment, she carried Qiao Feng's body and rushed towards the cliff, and they jumped off the cliff.

Lin Yaoxie found the scene terrifying, but now he thought about how Qiao Feng was living a happy life with A'Zhu.

Wang Dezhao also has his elderly father and his unborn child, and they will surely live a happy life together.

Lin Yaoxie sighed as he thought about this; he had already done too much of some things.

He thought that from now on he would live for himself and not keep changing other people's fates, even though he was a major villain from the very beginning.

He tricked Duan Yu out of his hard-earned secret manual and even made Duan Yu his disciple.

Chapter 423 Lin Yaoxie's Test

He did so much that he even snatched away Xu Zhu's potential position as the master of Lingjiu Palace.

He has now become a well-known figure in the martial arts world, and he is very content with what he has achieved.

He rode there on horseback, thinking about these things, along with the four girls, Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, galloping towards the next city.

When they arrived at the next city, it was already dark, and they didn't rush to find their property, the shop.

Instead, they went straight to the most luxurious inn in the city, and after booking a few superior rooms, they moved into room 617.

They were all tired from the long journey on horseback that day, so they ordered some wine and food downstairs at the inn.

They sat there, ate and drank their fill, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

When they woke up the next morning, Lin Yaoxie pushed open the door, and as expected, the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, were waiting at the door.

The toiletries had already been prepared. After washing up, Lin Yaoxie followed the four girls downstairs to have breakfast.

They left in a hurry and went to their property, the pawnshop.

In fact, Lin Yaoxie was very clear in his heart that there were many tricks to the pawnshop business.

However, he really didn't understand it, but he still had to go and take a look, since it was his own business.

When they arrived at the street where the pawnshop was located, Lin Yaoxie carefully observed the surrounding shops and streets.

I realized that the business here must be booming, because of their good location.

When the four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, led Lin Yaoxie to the entrance of the pawnshop, Lin Yaoxie went inside.

The four girls, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, stood outside waiting.

So Lin Yaoxie took out a jade pendant from his body and handed it to the old man.

The old gentleman looked to be in his fifties, with gray hair, but he had a refined and scholarly demeanor. He was probably the shopkeeper.

So Lin Yaoxie deliberately asked the shopkeeper, "How much can I pawn this jade pendant?"

The shopkeeper looked at the jade pendant, then at Lin Yaoxie, and said, "Your jade is of good quality. Do you want to pawn it permanently or temporarily?"

Lin Yaoxie pretended to think for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just pawn it. How much silver can you give me?"

The shopkeeper examined the jade's color and then carefully inspected its carving.

They offered Lin Yaoxie a price, which Lin Yaoxie thought was acceptable.

So he agreed and pawned the jade to the shop. The shopkeeper examined the jade carefully, then gave Lin Yaoxie some silver and handed it to him.

He said to him, "Please take your time, sir. If you need anything else, please come back here."

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself that the shopkeeper seemed to have a pretty good service attitude.

So Lin Yaoxie took out a luminous pearl from his purse and placed it in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he carefully took the luminous pearl into his hand, examining it closely.

He said to Lin Yaoxie, "Sir, this bead of yours is quite extraordinary, truly excellent. Are you willing to pawn it all?"

Chapter 424 Disguised as a Test

Lin Yao said with a wicked smile, "There's nothing I can do about it. My family has fallen on hard times. All these things in my family used to be valuable, but now I can only pawn them at your shop."

After hearing what Lin Yaoxie said, the shopkeeper had a rough idea of ​​what was going on.

So he said to Lin Yaoxie, "What do you think of this price I'm offering?"

After hearing the price, Lin Yaoxie pretended to be dissatisfied with it.

So he took the luminous pearl back and put it in his hand, saying to the man, "The price I gave you is not low. Go and ask around. Our shop offers the highest prices. I think I've given you a very fair price."

Lin Yaoxie thought to himself, "This shopkeeper really knows how to do business." So he pretended to be very regretful and pawned the luminous pearl to the shopkeeper's son.

He took the silver and went out again, coming to Mei Jian and the others.

He said to the women, "I've already tested the shopkeeper and he's pawned my luminous pearl and jade pendant. In a little while, one of you will send someone out, disguised, to pawn my things again."

"Take out your valuables, and we'll go and buy a few more things. That way, I'll know whether this shopkeeper is truly loyal to us."

Although their master was said to be resourceful and that everything he did made sense, they still couldn't fathom his thoughts.

But since their master had given the order, they had no choice but to comply.

So Mei Jian volunteered and said to Lin Yaoxie, "Okay, Master, I'll immediately disguise myself and pawn all my hairpins and bracelets."

So the group arrived at the inn where they were staying and began their plan, starting by putting makeup on the four girls.

These four girls were quite skilled at disguise, each playing a different role. Mei Jian disguised herself as a silly little girl.

After she went to the shop with a gold hairpin, the shop owner didn't recognize her at all; she was Mei Jian.

Instead, he assumed she was just an ordinary country girl, so he asked her, "Young lady, what do you want to be?"

At this moment, Mei Jian pretended to be silly and said to the shopkeeper, "Sir, how much would you pay me if I wanted to be the owner of this hairpin?"

ooo is asking for flowers...

The shopkeeper took it and carefully examined the gold hairpin paper in his hand. The quality was quite good, and the workmanship was also quite exquisite.

He gave the girl a price, and Mei Jian felt that the price the boss gave was neither too high nor too low.

So she pretended to hesitate, and the shopkeeper asked again, "So, young lady, do you want to pawn it alive or dead? Do you really want to pawn it or not?"

Mei Jian seemed to have made a great decision, and said to the shopkeeper, "Then I'll risk everything."

After listening to the girl's story, the shopkeeper took the gold hairpin back and gave him all the money he was owed. Mei Jian then took the money to find Lin Yaoxie and his group.

The.

After Lin Yaoxie and the others asked the shopkeeper for the price, Lin Yaoxie noted it down in her mind.

At this moment, Lan Jian stepped forward and said to Lin Yaoxie, "Then I'll go test this shopkeeper and see what he's really like."

Chapter 425 The Acting Skills of Several Girls

So he dressed up as an old woman, took a gold bracelet, and went to the pawnshop.

When the shopkeeper saw Lan Jian swaying unsteadily, he came in and specifically asked, "Old man, what brings you to our pawnshop? Are you here to pawn something?"

Nalan Jian pretended to be deaf and interrupted, saying, "I'm here to sell something. Do you buy my gold '620' bracelet?"

When the shopkeeper saw that Lan Jian was dressed as the old woman, he took out a handkerchief and found a gold bracelet wrapped in layers of cloth.

He carefully took it out and handed it to the shopkeeper, who took it and examined it closely.

This gold bracelet is really beautiful; it's a pair of gold dragon and phoenix bracelets.

So the shopkeeper asked the old lady who was handling the case, "Grandma, do you want to sell it to me directly, or do you want to pawn it and come back to redeem it later?"

At this moment, Lan Jian said, "I don't want to sell it to you anymore. I want to use it to exchange for some money to go back and make a living."

“We poor people can’t always wear such expensive jewelry.”

"I bought this when I got married. Now that I can't make ends meet, I'm thinking of pawning it."

So the shopkeeper was still there, thinking to himself, "Why are all the customers here today just trying to cheat me?"

In this pawnshop, pawning items that are never sold is the most profitable business, and it looks like business is good today.

The reason Lin Yaoxie had them all pawn things at the pawnshop, and all of them were "dead goods," was to test the shopkeeper's abilities in this way.

Let's see if he is loyal to their Vulture Palace, or if he has embezzled their money.

The shopkeeper paid the money to Nalan Jian and told her to keep it safe, since it was not safe for someone of her age to carry such a sum of money on the street.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper specifically reminded Lan Jian to be careful. Only after seeing him to the door did the shopkeeper turn back.

Lan Jian thought the shopkeeper was quite nice; at least on the surface, he seemed polite and courteous, and knew how to consider the elderly.

After Lan Jian left, he told Lin Yaoxie what had happened in the pawnshop.

He also told Lin Yaoxie about the price they had agreed on beforehand, as well as the silver he had received from pawning it.…

So Lin Yaoxie nodded and said, "In that case, let's test him one last time."

"If he truly passes our test this time, we will entrust the management of this pawnshop to him with complete peace of mind, and I will not interfere too much in these matters."

"But if I find out that he has any intention of embezzling my money, I will definitely not let him off easily."

And so, Zhu Jian disguised herself as a young and handsome scholar. She had a cheerful personality.

She looked like a down-on-his-luck scholar, so she wore a scholar's robe and tied her hair up.

He looked rather haggard, and that's how he deliberately walked into the pawnshop.

When he first entered the shop, the shopkeeper was quite puzzled, as business was booming this morning.

Normally, we don't get many customers all morning, but this time, several customers have come in one after another, and they've all made a purchase.

Chapter 426 Go directly to check the store

He was in a good mood when he saw the impoverished scholar walk in.

The shopkeeper quickly stood up and said to the scholar, "May I ask what business you have with me? Are you looking to pawn something?"

The scholar disguised as a bamboo sword took a small box from his backpack and placed it in front of the shopkeeper.

He said to the shopkeeper, "Could you please tell me how much this jade pendant is worth?"

The shopkeeper carefully took the box, opened it, and glanced inside. The jade pendant inside was quite finely crafted.

However, the jade seems to have some flaws and doesn't look very valuable.

So the shopkeeper told him the truth and explained the situation.

The scholar replied, "This is a family heirloom jade, which is said to be extremely valuable. How can you say it's worthless?"
