Chapter 245
245 The Pearl forest
“Has Hua ziqin returned yet?” Xia Pingan sat comfortably on the soft and thick leather chair. She took a sip of the fragrant green tea made by Wei Meiyu, looked at the time on the wall clock in the room, and let out a satisfied sigh.
It was his first day in the supervision Department. After a whole day of work, he had finally done most of the things that needed to be done.
yes, master asked her to collect evidence. There was more than one victim. Some of them might have moved, so they won’t be back for a while! Situ Hua stood in front of Xia Pingan’s desk and looked at Xia Pingan’s expression. He carefully reported to Xia Pingan, ” I’ve already brought lawyer Jiang to visit those security companies and business groups. I’ve also told them what you’ve said. The owners and managers of those companies actually want to find an opportunity to visit you in person!
Xia ping ‘an looked at Situ Hua with a blank expression. huh? When did I ask you to bring lawyer Jiang to visit some bank and security business group? how come I didn’t know about this?”
Upon hearing Xia Pingan’s words, Situ Hua was stunned for a moment. The next second, he felt his heart beating violently, and he broke out in a sweat. Damn it, he was trying to get away from this. The two layers of insurance of white gloves and lawyer Jiang were not enough. He was collecting money behind the scenes, and if something happened, he would throw him out as a scapegoat?
Thinking of the consequences, Situ Hua’s legs went soft and he almost couldn’t stand.
hahaha, don’t be nervous. I’m just joking with you. Look, your face has changed! Xia Pingan suddenly laughed again, making her feel as if she had been bathed in the spring breeze. let’s not meet those people. Even if we do meet, it’s just to hear some flattery. It’s meaningless. Anyway, the rules are the same. If there’s a need, we can meet again. As long as they deposit my hard-earned money into my account every month, it’ll be fine!
Situ Hua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and forced a smile. I’m old and can’t stand being scared. Please don’t make such jokes with me in the future, Sir!
“Alright, what do you think of lawyer Jiang?”
Situ Hua calmed himself down. master has taken a liking to this person because he is cautious and smart. He won’t do anything stupid. If master uses him, it means that he has a use. Even if he does something stupid, it will be easy to settle him!
Xia Pingan smiled and nodded. you’ve worked hard today. It’s almost time now. You can get off work and go home!
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard. It’s my honor to be able to work for Your Excellency!” Situ Hua wiped his cold sweat and smiled. He carefully took a few steps back before turning around and walking toward the office door.
Xia Pingan looked out of the window.
It was already dusk outside the window and it was drizzling. It was already evening, the time for the inspection department to get off work.
It was a bit deserted on the street in the afternoon. However, it became boisterous at this time as many people had just gotten off work. Due to the rain, the business of renting carriages was booming. As a result, the doors of some izakas across the street started to be crowded.
At the same time, white-collared and blue-collar workers from banks, business groups, notary offices, commercial organizations and trade agencies in the nearby streets started to pour out of their buildings.
For many workers who had worked hard all day, getting off work was the happiest thing. Some of them wanted to go home, while some of them were thinking about the warm and relaxed atmosphere in the bar with their colleagues.
Xia ping ‘an had also been busy in the supervision Department for the whole day.
This day was full of rewards. It felt unusually fulfilling and long. He had met the people he should have met and arranged the things he should have. Initially, Xia Pingan had wanted to solve the case and establish his glorious position as an inspector in the inspector Department. However, since Hua ziqin had not returned, he would forget about it and wait until tomorrow.
Anyway, the people locked up in the cell wouldn’t run away, so a day or two wouldn’t make a difference.
Xia Pingan stretched lazily, then stood up, put on her coat, and pushed open the office door.
Outside the office, Wei Meiyu had already moved in and was sorting out a few documents.
“Meiyu, you can get off work now!” Xia Pingan said to Wei Meiyu as she took her umbrella.
Wei Meiyu quickly stood up, ” my Lord, do I need to arrange a car for you? ”
“No need, I’ll go back by myself. You should go back early too!”
“Okay, I’ll go back after I’m done with these documents!”
Xia Pingan nodded.
……
As soon as he pushed open the door of the inspection department, the cold wind outside blew in his face, making him feel refreshed. Xia Pingan went down the stairs, went around the fountain, and came to the door. Luo laoyao, who was guarding the door, opened the door for Xia Pingan with a smile. Just as he walked out to the street, a four-wheeled rental carriage pulled by two black horses had stopped in front of Xia Pingan.
“It’s an honor to be at your service!” The coachman sat in the carriage, but a young attendant in a black suit opened a black umbrella, opened the door, and respectfully let Xia ping ‘an in.
This kind of luxurious rental carriage was rarely seen on the road. In addition to the coachman driving the carriage, there was also an attendant who acted as a bodyguard. Some rich people liked to hire this kind of carriage when they first came to Shangjing.
Bai Fu car dealership was one of the four major car dealership in Donggang District. Xia Pingan had even seen their owner in the afternoon.
let’s go to Tianyuan bridge for a walk. Xia Pingan did not decline and got into the car directly.
This luxurious carriage had a heater, incense, bar counter, and fine wine. The carriage was covered with a bear skin carpet, which was somewhat luxurious.
The attendant and the coachman sat in the front, braving the wind and rain. The coachman shook the reins, and the carriage began to run happily.
……
By the time the carriage arrived at Tianyuan bridge, the rain had not stopped, but the sky had already darkened.
It was raining, and there were no more stalls in the tianyuanqiao night market. After Xia Pingan got out of the car, he went to the Pearl forest with an umbrella.
As soon as the boss of Pearl forest saw Xia Pingan enter, he quickly smiled and came over to welcome him. He helped Xia Pingan take the umbrella. I didn’t expect you to come here even though it’s raining today!
I just stopped by to take a look. I’m bored anyway, ” Xia Pingan said with a smile.
you came at the right time. I just received two new boundary pearls. According to your requirements, the prices are not bad. Please take a seat and have some tea. I’ll bring it over for you to take a look!
As he spoke, the boss of Pearl forest brought Xia Pingan to the tea room behind the counter.
These days, Xia Pingan had bought a lot of realm pearls here and spent tens of thousands of gold coins. He was already very familiar with the boss of the Pearl forest.
The owner of the Pearl forest was Su He, and he had been selling realm pearls at Tianyuan bridge for decades.
For a customer like Xia Pingan, although he always bought realm pearls at low or medium prices, Xia Pingan was straightforward in his buying and selling, paid quickly, and bought a lot. Unknowingly, he had become a minor target of criticism in the eyes of the shopkeeper of this Pearl forest.
After taking two sips of tea, manager su came over with two boxes and placed them in front of Xia Pingan. He opened one of the boxes and said, ” this is a divine power realm bead. The death rate of a failed fusion is 60%, but the increase in divine power after a successful fusion is at least 70 points. It’s not expensive, only 460 gold coins. It meets your requirements very well!
Xia ping ‘an looked at the realm Pearl and saw four small flags flashing in it. I’m patient and patient. Xia ping’ an’s expression suddenly became strange.
This was Gou Xian’s realm Pearl.
Xia Pingan had no objections to the other realm pearls, but he was a little resistant to this one. Firstly, he did not like Gou Jian. Secondly, it would be very disgusting to fuse with this realm Pearl. After Wu destroyed the Yue dynasty, Gou Jian became the follower of Wu Fuchai. The reason why Gou Jian was able to gain the trust of Wu Fuchai was that he had volunteered to taste Wu Fuchai’s feces when he was sick. This made Wu Wangfu feel “extremely touched” and allowed Goujian to return to his country.
Therefore, if this realm Pearl Pixiu wanted to fuse with the Pixiu, it would have to eat sh * t.
I’m going to run
“What, you don’t like this one?” Manager su observed his expression and asked from the side.
“Hey, let’s take a look at the other one!” Xia Pingan said helplessly. As a man, there are things that we should do and things that we shouldn’t do. Forget about that realm Pearl, you won’t be able to learn Gou Jian’s abilities even if you know about them.
“Alright, let’s take a look at this realm Pearl!” Manager su opened the second box even more carefully and began to introduce it. this realm Pearl is a rare and special cave realm Pearl. After the fusion is successful, you can use a spell technique to directly dig a hole in the ground. The speed is as fast as lightning. The digging skill is not usually useful, but it is hard to say when it will be useful!
Xia ping ‘an looked at the realm Pearl and saw only three words on it, ” uncle Kuai Kuai Kuai ”
Just by looking at these three words, Xia Pingan could roughly understand why this realm Pearl could ” drill a hole “. Inside this realm Pearl, there should be the story of Zheng zhuanggong digging the ground to see his mother, and the person who made Zheng zhuanggong dig the ground to see his mother was uncle qinkao.
“How much is this realm Pearl?” Xia Pingan asked directly.
although this realm bead is difficult to fuse with, the death rate is very low even if the fusion fails. Moreover, the spell it grants is very special, so this realm bead is not cheap. I bought it for 2150 gold coins, so I’ll take 50 gold coins from you, 2200 gold coins!
“That’s not cheap!”
Manager su smiled bitterly. recently, the price of the realm Pearl on the market has been going up. I can’t do anything about it. If it was in the past, the purchase price of this realm Pearl would be 1700 or 1800. Now, it has risen by quite a bit. at this point, manager su looked outside and lowered his voice. haven’t you heard? the demon gate is about to open. That’s why the price of this realm Pearl has risen so much!
“The demon gate is open?” Xia Pingan was slightly stunned.
The opening of the demon’s Gate in this world was similar to the space invasion on earth; however, they were not completely the same. The so-called demon’s Gate referred to the opening of the gates of the secret realms in the void where a large number of demons hid.
When the demonic door opened, the monsters in the void secret realm could run out, and the summoners and humans outside could also run into the void secret realm.
However, in general, it was not a good thing for the demon gate to open.
“I’ve just learned about this from a bounty hunter who’s here to sell realm beads. Many people are spreading it!”
2200 gold coins it is then. I want this realm Pearl! As Xia Pingan spoke, he sighed in his heart. This Summoner really spent money like water. No matter how much money he had, it felt like it wasn’t enough.
“Do you want this realm Pearl?” Manager su pointed at the realm Pearl that was ‘patiently waiting for the right moment’.
I don’t want this one. Xia Pingan shook his head. I think this realm Pearl is very picky!
