Chapter 478: Escort Agency Jade Pendant Certificate

Jiang Suining looked at Cheng Du speechlessly, "Thank you, but you should keep it for yourself." One hundred taels of silver, he really dared to ask for a high price. "What are you talking about? I'm just a rower, and I don't have the problem of pinching myself, so how can I use it?" "Better to be prepared, there may be a bloody disaster soon." "You little girl, it's fine if you don't want to buy it, but why are you cursing people, I..." "Do you still want to earn the one hundred taels of silver I mentioned before?" Jiang Suining interrupted Cheng Du. "Of course I want to make money, but I tell you, this golden medicine is really great, just apply it on..." "If you keep talking nonsense, then I can only find someone else to lead the way." "Don't worry, isn't it just an escort agency? I'll take you there now. This is a ghost market. It's not easy to find a guide like me who is handsome and has no ghost aura. It's too little to add only one hundred taels of silver. Why don't we discuss it? You add another one hundred taels, no, add another two hundred taels..." Cheng Du chattered while leading the way. The gloomy ghost aura around seemed to be dissipated a lot by the other party's noisy voice. It wasn't until Jiang Suining stopped and looked at a tall building with bright lights in the distance ahead that Cheng Du finally stopped raising the price. "Is that the Wuliang Building?" Jiang Suining looked at the tall building. There are five floors in total, not only are the floors brightly lit, but the lanterns hanging on each floor are normal bright red. At first glance, it looks no different from the ordinary high-rise buildings in the imperial city. You can faintly hear cheers and string music coming from inside. But if you look up at the dead and gloomy shops around, you will feel that the seemingly normal high-rise building is like a beautiful flower blooming among the bones and broken corpses. The more beautiful it is, the more bizarre it is. "Yes, that is the Wuliang Building." Cheng Du nodded. "Is the owner of the building you mentioned in it now?" "Of course not, the owner of the building only shows up on the 15th of every month, and usually only people who drink and have fun are there." Cheng Du glanced at Jiang Suining, "Do you want to go in?" Jiang Suining shook his head and retracted his gaze, "No, I just want to hurry to the escort agency, you should lead the way quickly, if there are any unexpected troubles, it will not be good for you." Hearing Jiang Suining say this, Cheng Du retracted his gaze and finally stopped chattering. He led Jiang Suining and the others to speed up their pace and arrived outside the escort agency in this ghost market. At first glance, the escort agency looked no different from a bank or other shops, except that the lanterns at the door were dark green. The weak flames inside were covered, emitting only a faint green light. The only difference was that the door was closed. Cheng Du went forward and knocked on the door. After knocking three times slowly, after a long while, there were faint footsteps from inside, followed by a harsh creaking sound. Half of the shop door was opened, and the clerk who appeared this time looked much more normal than Ma Wulang. Hearing that it was a business visit, he opened the remaining half of the door. After listening to Jiang Suining's intention, the clerk said, "From the Imperial City to Jiangnan, five thousand taels of silver." "Are you quoting directly without asking me what I'm transporting?" "Nothing to ask, no bargaining, but if the things are too troublesome, or there are too many, the price will be doubled." The clerk's words were very firm, as if there was nothing to discuss. "Do you want me to send that thing to the black market, or you can send someone to..." "You send it over." Jiang Suining pondered for a moment, "Okay, then how do we agree on the time, and how do we pick up the things after they are sent over?" "Send it over within three days. As for picking up the things, we will tell you the place to pick them up at that time. Just take the receipt." "What receipt?" "The jade pendant." "Is it the same as the one in the bank?" "The style is different." "Will it be easy to copy?" "My sir, you have too many questions." The waiter showed impatience on his face. "Sorry." Jiang Suining pursed his lips and said worriedly, "The things you want to send are very important to me. We can discuss the silver and money, but I think that the jade pendant of the bank has some special patterns, but it may not be impossible to copy. What if your receipt is copied and my things are taken away by others?" "No one is so brave as to copy our black market jade pendants." The waiter said confidently. Jiang Suining frowned and did not refute, but he did not show a look of relief. Seeing her hesitation, the clerk said, "Since you are here in our black market, there is nothing unimportant to transport. As long as you accept the business, we will naturally help you deliver it. The business will not be over until the goods are picked up. If there is any mistake in the middle, our people will not sit idly by." After hearing what the clerk said, Jiang Suining finally nodded. "Okay, then how much deposit do I need to pay?" "Two thousand taels." Jiang Suining took out two thousand taels from the silver note he just received, but did not rush to hand it to the clerk. "Where is the jade pendant you said as a voucher?" "Wait." The clerk walked to the back of the escort agency, and after a while took out half a jade pendant and handed it to Jiang Suining. "This is half a piece, which means the business is in progress. Within three days, you can take this jade pendant to the black market to cross the river. When the things are brought back, this half piece of jade pendant will be exchanged for the voucher of the whole piece." Jiang Suining handed the silver note to the clerk, took the jade pendant, and looked at it carefully in his palm. Although it was only half a piece, from the shape to the texture, it was exactly the same as the one found before. "Are all your jade pendants the same? If so, how can we distinguish the corresponding items?" "There are secret marks on the jade pendants, so naturally we can't make mistakes." Jiang Suining showed a relieved expression. After carefully putting the jade pendant away, she left a sentence that she would definitely deliver the things within three days, and then walked out of the escort agency. Compared with the shock at the bank just now, this escort agency trip was much smoother. This black market is underground, and although it is difficult to tell the time, it has been so long since we came in, it must be not far from dawn. Jiang Suining paid Cheng Du the promised silver, and the three of them walked back to the river. As they walked, Cheng Du suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. "What's wrong?" Jiang Suining asked. Cheng Du used the light of the colorful lanterns to quickly scan the empty streets. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and shrugged. "Nothing, maybe I thought too much. I always felt like someone was watching me." "This is your ghost market after all. It's not strange even if someone is watching me." "You are wrong. Since you are here, your identity has been verified. No one will stare at you when they are full, unless they find that there is something wrong with your identity." Cheng Du said with a smile. "Then you are wrong." Jiang Suining urged casually, "Let's go. I have to leave as soon as possible. If it's dawn and there are pedestrians outside, I'm afraid I'll be in trouble if someone sees me leaving the ghost market." The three of them quickened their pace and walked to the river. Only then did they find that in addition to the small boat that Cheng Du came in, there was another boat parked by the river. "It seems that there are people coming here besides you tonight." But no one rowed the boat. Could it be that he rowed the boat himself? Jiang Suining looked at the boat, his eyes dimmed, and urged: "I don't care about others, let's go." Cheng Du jumped on the boat and stabilized it. When Jiang Suining and the others got on the boat, they pushed the boat away from the shore. When the boat went far away, a figure walked out from the darkness...
