I have an eternal eye

"Get Zhang Captou."

"How about I ask my buddy to deliver it to my house..."

"No, this is how much."

Zhang Biao picked up a stack of medicine bags and sighed in his heart.

What he bought was considered a treasure that could be circulated in the market. It cost three hundred taels of silver and could be carried away with one hand.

Except for the twenty taels of silver left behind for emergencies, the Zhang family’s savings for generations disappeared in one fell swoop...

…

After leaving Renxintang, Zhang Biao suddenly noticed something strange.

Now that it has just arrived at Chenshi, some people have not yet eaten, but the medicine halls are already crowded.

There were only a few ordinary people, most of whom were dressed in blue and wearing hats. At first glance, they were the servants of officials and they all looked anxious.

In the distance, more people were coming.

Looking at all this, Zhang Biao looked solemn.

Dragons and snakes are mixed in Yujing City, each with its own way.

The world is changing, and the heavy rain has not yet arrived, but well-informed officials have already seen the dark clouds and have begun to take action.

They may not know about spiritual energy recovery, let alone use it for cultivation, they just want to hoard medicinal materials, either for their own use or to make profits from it.

But ordinary people are completely unaware and are still worried about daily necessities.

Damn, food is probably going to go up too...

Zhang Biao's expression changed and he hurried back to Anzhenfang. After carefully hiding the medicinal materials, he left home again.

After leaving the square gate, I wanted to go to the grain store, but after thinking about it, I turned around and headed to Jixianfang.

He works as an errand in the Six Gates and has many masters. No matter how difficult the court is, he will still take care of them.

But the price of medicinal materials is getting worse and worse.

While there are still goods on the market, the best thing to do is to get some money to hoard as soon as possible, otherwise you can only turn into a thief and rob the warehouses of those dignitaries.

It's not that I'm afraid of losing face.

Just because the deep mansions and courtyards in Yujing City are guarded by experts, it would be unwise for him to take risks rashly before he can fight against the crowd.

With a calculation in his mind, Zhang Biao immediately quickened his pace and arrived at Jixianfang in less than half a stick of incense.

Compared with Anrenfang, Jixianfang is obviously less crowded. Shopkeepers from some shops are even eating breakfast leisurely in street restaurants.

There are not many stalls on the street.

Zhang Biao walked around for a few times. Perhaps the news about the incident of the group of tomb robbers in Yongdingfang spread, and not a single country rat appeared on the street.

After looking at several stalls, he saw that they were all fake. Even if he didn't understand antiques, he knew that the seal of the previous emperor would not be placed on the street like cabbage.

I can only go to the shop and have a look...

"Brother, please stay."

Just as he was raising his feet, a deep voice suddenly came from behind.

Zhang Biao turned around and looked around, and saw a young man with delicate features, wearing a green cloth Confucian robe, starched until it turned white. Although he looked shabby, he had a somewhat elegant temperament.

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Biao frowned and prepared to drive away.

It's not a good thing if someone strikes up a conversation in a busy city.

Sure enough, the young man looked around furtively, and then he covered his chest and whispered: "Brother Guan is a martial artist, and I can tell you the truth. I am a relative of General Fengwu, and he has acquired his family." I want to pass on the secrets of sword skills and want to sell them to people who know the goods..."

General Fengwu was General Youwuwei. He was sentenced to death for hiding a large amount of ordnance. Zhang Biao watched him be beheaded a few days ago.

After hearing about the incident, the female family members of the family were appointed as the priests. Relatives who were in a mess and couldn't be beaten came to the house and robbed a lot of property.

However, Zhang Biao didn't believe it at all and sneered: "A disciple of Cemen? He is not good at learning and is not accurate at all..."

With that said, he took out the six door tokens from his arms.

Cemen specializes in selling all kinds of fake calligraphy, paintings, and fake antiques to deceive people. Pretending to be a celebrity is the most common method.

Whenever a high-ranking official is beheaded in the capital, a bunch of descendants will appear selling their ancestral property.

"Keep some" is a slang term in Jianghu, which means to check the fat sheep.

As soon as the sign on the six doors lit up, the young man's face suddenly turned green and he trembled: "I'm blind, please forgive me."

After that, he turned around and left.

"No hurries?"

Zhang Biao chuckled, grabbed the collar and pulled him back, "I have something to ask you."

The young man was about to cry and bowed repeatedly, "Sir, I fell into a poor family and had no choice but to wander around in the world. I just came out of the mountain and couldn't make a single business..."

Zhang Biao stared, "Stop howling, what's your name?"

The young man's face turned pale, and he cupped his hands and said, "I, Yu Ziqing, have done nothing wrong. You are unjustly accused..."

Zhang Biao saw this and smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I just want to buy some antiques to give away, but I have no money. Do me a favor and see which stall has genuine goods."

Yu Ziqing was stunned after hearing this, and then he said with a face full of confusion: "I dare not hide it, sir, and you don't have to look at this Jixianfang. Those Confucian scholars who are proficient in this way, the shopkeepers of various halls, and fellow disciples all have vicious eyes." , good things cannot flow out at all..."

"ah?"

Zhang Biao was stunned after hearing this.

Seeing his appearance, Yu Ziqing rolled his eyes and whispered: "Who do you want to give it to? I have a real thing. Although it is a bit indecent, if it is given to the right person, it will be more pleasing to the eye than an antique."

Zhang Biao's eyes lit up, "Take it out and have a look."

"My lord, please follow me."

Yu Ziqing, with a mysterious face, led the way.

The two of them turned left and right and entered the depths of Jixianfang.

This place is far less lively than the streets, and unlike Anzhenfang, due to prosperous commerce and a large number of people, even the houses are small and cramped, with every household connected to each other.

Seeing that he was getting further and further away and there was almost no one in the alley, Zhang Biao narrowed his eyes slightly and became vigilant.

The world is dangerous. Could it be that this kid has grown brave and has ambitions...

At this moment, Yu Ziqing stopped in front of a dilapidated house, "Sir, this is it."

After that, he knocked on the door and said, "Mom, I'm back."

The wooden door opened with a creak, and there was an old woman with silver hair. Her eyes were white and she said in a trembling voice: "Son, why are there outsiders? You won't cause any trouble, will you?"

Yu Ziqing quickly supported the old woman and said, "Mom, it's okay. I'm bringing a guest. You can rest."

After saying that, he helped the old woman sit down on a wooden chair in the courtyard, then turned around and said, "Let the adults laugh, the things are inside."

Zhang Biao nodded, with no doubt in his mind, and followed Yu Ziqing into the side room.

After entering the door, I saw that although the room was simple, it was neatly decorated. There were pens, inks, papers and inkstones. There were also many handwritten books and forged famous paintings with wet ink.

It seems like this kid has some background...

Zhang Biao saw it and immediately understood.

Most of the people who hang out in the martial arts world are weak-legged people who can't survive. Not to mention being good at calligraphy and painting, there are very few who can read and digitize.

But he didn't ask any more questions.

The officialdom of Yujing City has been ups and downs for three hundred years, and there are many shabby settlements.

I saw Yu Ziqing lift an object several feet square from under the bed, tightly wrapped in homespun cloth, and opened it carefully, "Sir, this is it."

Zhang Biao frowned slightly after seeing it, "It looks ordinary, what's the origin?"

This is a small wooden screen, the material of which cannot be seen. It is covered with carved flowers and rockeries, and there are also small windows.

"My lord, don't be anxious."

Yu Ziqing blinked proudly, and then opened the small wooden windows one by one, only to find that they were all trap doors.

When Zhang Biao saw it, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Inside the wooden window, I saw pairs of men and women undressing and taking off their belts, arranging various patterns, lifelike, with spring between their brows.

The wooden screen at this time is like peeking across the garden at a family and a couple performing a ritual ceremony.

Okay, it turned out to be an erotic picture.

Seeing Zhang Biao's expression, Yu Ziqing quickly explained: "Sir, this thing can be considered an antique from the previous dynasty. My father collected it carefully and it is in good condition. There are rich people in the capital who are good at this, so it is most suitable to give it away."

"Ten taels... no, just take the five taels of silver and you won't lose anything!"

How could Zhang Biao listen to his nonsense? He turned around and wanted to leave, but seeing how exquisitely crafted this thing was, he still had to figure it out after wasting half a day, so he used his spiritual vision.

Wood Screen Erotic Picture (Fan)

1. It is made of pear wood and was carefully carved by craftsmen. It has lasted for three hundred years and has been cared for by successive owners.

2. Paint willow eyebrows, dot red lips, frost stains the world of mortals, and there are so many sorrows in the world. It is better to enjoy the happiness in the boudoir...

3. The world treasures their skills and cherishes them in every possible way, but they don’t know that the clever craftsmen hide something in them...

I actually found a treasure!

Zhang Biao was surprised in his heart, but his face was expressionless. He hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, this thing is quite exquisite. It would be good to buy it as a gift."

Yu Ziqing was immediately overjoyed, "Sir, you have good eyesight, this business will definitely be worth it!"

Zhang Biao didn't talk nonsense. He paid the money with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. He took the things and left in a hurry.

Yu Ziqing opened his mouth. He wanted to speak, but he didn't know how to speak. He could only watch Zhang Biao disappear quickly...

"Son, have you sold anything?"

At this moment, the old woman's voice sounded in the courtyard.

Yu Ziqing returned quickly and said with a smile: "Mom, it's finally opened. I'll buy rice right away and cook meat for you tonight."

The old woman sighed, "It doesn't matter whether I eat or not for my mother, but I feel bad. Our family is in such a state of decline that I have to live in the market, and I can't get any honors..."

"Mom, why are you talking about this?"

Yu Ziqing smiled and said, "The court is dangerous. My father is a public official and offends people all day long. We are so worried that we can't be free now."

Tweet!

At this moment, the sound of birds suddenly sounded outside.

Yu Ziqing's eyes changed slightly, and he smiled and said: "Mom, I'm going to buy rice right now. You stay at home. Don't open the door to anyone but me."

After that, he hurried out.

Turning the corner, there was a skinny man dressed in white, looking boredly at the sky.

Yu Ziqing quickly handed over his hand, "I've met Senior Brother Yang, what's the important thing?"

The skinny man smiled and said: "It's okay, find someone to keep an eye on me in the next few days."

"who?"

"A dead man named Xiao San..."

"I don't want to leak the private life of a senior in the sect, so I'm looking for some new faces in various houses."

"Remember, don't tell anyone. If you have news, tell me directly. If you find the person, you will have a backer in the door from now on."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yang!"

Yu Ziqing was overjoyed when he heard this.

Being a gangster is never that simple. He has little experience and no martial arts skills. He is often beaten until his nose is bruised and his face is swollen. Fortunately, his mother is blind, so he was not discovered.

When dealing with Zhang Biao, I also wanted to build a relationship and find a backer because of his kindness. Unexpectedly, the other party took the things and ran away.

Xiao San, the name sounds familiar...

…………

After returning home, Zhang Biao immediately closed the door.

He took out the horizontal knife, placed the wooden screen on the table, and carefully cut off the four sides.

I don’t know what treasure the craftsman hid, or what technique he used, but it’s definitely right to cut it close to the edge.

Sure enough, after cutting off two inches, an obvious crack appeared on the wood grain. I don't know what secret method was used, but it was completely invisible from the outside.

There was a hint of surprise in Zhang Biao's eyes, and he cut off all the edges along the wood seams, and the screen suddenly became two layers.

Opening the first layer, a yellowed drawing appears in front of you, densely covered with patterns.

"Map of Jade Capital City?"

Zhang Biao was stunned and a little disappointed.

Why is this?

Although there is an order from the imperial court that concealing the map secretly is a crime of conspiracy, there are also rumors among the people in the world that secretly selling it can get a hundred taels of silver.

The problem is that there are only six doors, so he doesn't need to take risks for a hundred taels of silver.

"Huh…"

At this moment, Zhang Biao discovered something strange.

This map of Jade City seems to be a little different from the ones he has seen...
