Chapter 762 Invitation and Sale (Two Chapters in One)

In a corner of the vast spiritual world, in Dongwu City in the Chu State, an old carriage stopped at the door of the Yamen.

"Xu."

The coachman pulled the reins in his hand to make the horse stop, then turned back and said to the passengers in the carriage.

"Sir, we've arrived."

Lin Li opened the curtain and got out of the car. After paying the fare, he walked to the Yamen in front.

"Ha~"

The policeman standing guard at the door yawned. When he saw Lin Li approaching, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop him.

"What?"

"I'm here to collect the bounty..." Lin Li briefly talked about Jiang Yang's thief.

The policeman looked shocked after hearing this, and then put down his right hand to stop Lin Li.

"It turns out you caught those vicious gangsters! If you want to receive the reward, go in that direction."

"Thank you." Lin Li thanked the policeman who helped guide him, then walked into the Yamen and walked along the gravel path.

This Yamen occupies a small area, only a few acres of land in total, but the interior decoration is quite exquisite and looks very grand.

"You're here!"

Lin Li walked forward for a while and met an acquaintance. The gray-clothed detective who walked towards him smiled and said hello to him.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

"Follow me." Agent Wang quickly greeted Lin Li, and then led Lin Li to the place where he received the bounty.

"Huh?" Lin Li followed Agent Wang and walked a little further when he suddenly noticed many burly soldiers standing around him.

Detective Wang noticed that Lin Li was looking at the burly soldiers, so he smiled and explained, "Those soldiers were temporarily transferred here to guard the criminal thieves you captured."

"How many soldiers have been dispatched?" Lin Li glanced around, and he saw more than a dozen soldiers so far.

"Thirty-five people." Agent Wang said quickly.

"There are just a few gangsters, but they actually dispatched so many armed soldiers?" Lin Li was slightly surprised when he heard this.

If they were just ordinary soldiers, there wouldn't be much to say. The main thing is that these fully armed soldiers are all practitioners.

Inspector Wang explained, "Those criminal thieves and their accomplices have not been arrested. The shop owner is afraid that his accomplices who have not been arrested will come to rescue these guys, so he removed these soldiers to strengthen the security."

"That's it." When Lin Li heard this, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

According to the normal procedure, it would take a lot of time for Lin Li to receive the bounty. Fortunately, with the help of Detective Wang, he received the bounty quickly.

After Lin Li received the reward, he stopped by to register the household head's information.

After everything was settled, it was natural to leave.

At this time, Agent Wang, who had helped Lin Li get everything settled, quickly said, "Mr. Lin, our yamen is short of people recently. I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"

Lin Li didn't expect that Detective Wang would ask such a question when he was leaving. He was stunned for a second, and then declined politely.

"Sorry, I have other things to do, and I have no intention of becoming a detective at the moment."

When Detective Wang heard this, he smiled and said, "That's it! Well, you can come to me when you have ideas later..."

"Yes." Lin Li nodded, and then said goodbye to the other party.

“咴咴……”

The elderly Ma saw Lin Li approaching and immediately called out a few times.

"Old man." Lin Li called to the dozing coachman. He had previously agreed with him to let him wait for him at the door.

"Sir, did you finish the matter so quickly?" The coachman woke up and said with some surprise when he saw Lin Li coming out of the Yamen so quickly.

"I happened to meet an acquaintance, and with his help, I got the matter done quickly." Lin Li explained, and then got into the carriage.

"drive."

After Lin Li sat firmly, the coachman immediately swung the reins and drove Lin Li to the next place.

At the door of the Yamen, Detective Wang quickly looked at the leaving carriage. At this time, a steady voice sounded beside him, "He didn't agree to your invitation?"

Detective Wang quickly retracted his gaze from the distance and turned his head to look around him.

The person who came was a policeman dressed in black. He was 1.8 meters tall, had a stern face, and exuded a fierce aura.

"He said he has no idea of ​​becoming an agent at the moment. I told him that if he has an idea in the future, he can come to me..." Agent Wang replied.

"That man has the skills to catch those criminal thieves at a young age. It shows that his cultivation talent is extremely good. It is unlikely that such a cultivation genius will become a policeman..." the black-clothed policeman said.

"Although I also think so in my heart, there is nothing to lose if I try to invite you. What if it happens!" Detective Wang said with a smile.

"Follow me," the detective in black said.

"What to do?" Detective Wang asked quickly.

"Your Excellency is here to discuss an important matter with us..." the detective in black said.

Then, the two people walked to an office deep in the Yamen.

…………

The golden sun hangs high in the sky, and the big trees on the street are opened like umbrellas, providing shade for passers-by.

"Da da da……"

Horse hooves stepped on the ground, making a crisp sound, and an old carriage turned out from the corner and drove straight ahead.

"Xu."

The driver pulled the reins in his hand and signaled the horse to stop.

“咴咴……”

After the old horse stopped, it called lazily a few times.

"Sir, we've arrived." The coachman turned his head and shouted into the carriage.

Lin Li didn't pay after getting off the bus this time because he had just discussed it with the driver and said he wanted to charter the car and settle the bill together at the end.

"Old man, I may have to spend a little more time this time. You can park the car under the shade of the tree over there and wait for me!"

Lin Li raised his hand and pointed to a shade of trees not far away. The coachman heard this, nodded with a smile, and then drove the horse towards the shade of trees in front.

"Is this young man going to have dinner in a restaurant?"

When the carriage stopped under the shade of a tree, the driver saw Lin Li walking into a restaurant in the distance.

…………

"Welcome, sir, what would you like to eat?" The waiter saw the guest coming in and immediately stepped forward, greeting him warmly.

"I'm looking for your shopkeeper, is he there?" Lin Li asked the waiter.

"Yes, please wait a moment." The waiter smiled and nodded, asking Lin Li to wait for a moment, and then left quickly.

After a while, the restaurant owner and his assistant Wang Yun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came.

"Mr. Lin, long time no see." Wang Gui greeted with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, I'm here to buy some more pearls. I wonder if you have any on hand now?" Lin Li asked straight to the point.

"Yes, please come with me." When Wang Gui heard the waiter say that Lin Li was visiting, he roughly guessed that he was here to purchase pearls. Now after hearing what Lin Li said, his face was filled with a bright smile.

After a while, the three people came to the backyard of the restaurant.

Wang Yun took a bunch of keys from her waist and opened the door of the warehouse in the yard.

The next process was the same as the previous times. This time Lin Li took down all the pearls in the warehouse.

"Count the money and see if it's right..."

Lin Li collected all the pearls in the warehouse into the mysterious island, took out a wad of cash and handed it to Wang Gui, and asked him to count it.

"I know Mr. Lin's character, there is no need to count it." Wang Gui took a wad of cash and handed it to Wang Yun beside him.

Afterwards, Lin Li declined the other party's invitation to dinner and left the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, where does this Mr. Lin come from?" Wang Yun asked curiously after Lin Li left.

"I sent people to investigate, but no useful information was found." Wang Gui said.

The two chatted for a while, and then a waiter hurried over.

"Okay, I understand." Wang Gui said to the waiter in the store, and then told Wang Yun beside him, "You continue to hoard pearls. Don't let Mr. Lin come to purchase pearls. We can't satisfy his demands." need."

"Yes." Wang Yun nodded, and then Wang Gui added, "The mining area outside the city is not peaceful recently. The family's caravan should not go there for the time being."

…………

"The pearl matter has been settled, now it's time to go to the pawn shop." Lin Li thought to himself as he walked out of the restaurant and walked to the place where the carriage was parked in the distance.

"Sir, where are you going next?" the coachman asked after Lin Li sat firmly.

"Old man, you should be familiar with the locations of the nearby pawn shops, right?" Lin Li asked.

"Familiar." The coachman said with a smile. He has been in the business for many years and he knows the locations of most pawnshops in various places in Dongwu City.

"Please help me find a pawn shop of medium size and good credit..." Lin Li said.

The pawn shop he went to before was too small. Lin Li had more things to sell this time, so he had to find another pawn shop.

"Okay." The coachman nodded without asking any more questions, and then shook the reins in his hands.

"drive."

The sleepy old horse cheered up and began to pull the carriage forward.

After a while, the carriage disappeared at the end of the street.

…………

"Ha~"

A middle-aged man with a white face and a beardless face raised his hand and yawned, then raised his right hand, fiddled with the abacus in front of him, and murmured to himself, "Why are there no customers this morning?"

"Shopkeeper, it's still early. After a while, there might be a big deal." The young man who was wiping the counter said with a smile.

"I hope it's as you said! The business in the store has not been very good recently. If it continues to be so bad, the young master will be unhappy." The middle-aged man with a white face and a beard muttered.

"Tap, step, step..."

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and soon, someone walked into the pawn shop.

The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man who was chatting with the employees immediately broke into a bright smile when he saw a customer coming to the door.

"The guests are here, go and greet them."

When the young man holding the rag in his hand heard this, he immediately put down the rag in his hand and walked over to the customers who were coming to the store.

"Hello, sir, do you want to be pawned?"

Lin Li looked at the waiter who received him and nodded slightly to express his intention.

Then, under the leadership of the other party, they came to the middle-aged man with a white face and no beard.

"The clothes on this man's body are very ordinary, and the things he wants to pawn are probably not worth much... But there is no business now, so I can just entertain him and kill some time."

The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man observed Lin Li's clothes, made some judgments in his mind, and then asked in a kind tone.

"Sir, what do you want to be?"

Lin Li had a thought in his mind, and a rough linen bag appeared out of thin air.

"Eh?!!!" The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man saw a rough linen bag appearing out of thin air on the table, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Storage space power?" The young man standing aside exclaimed.

Seeing the shocked looks on the two people's faces, Lin Li didn't have any idea in his mind, because he had seen this kind of situation many times and was now used to it.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

As Lin Li opened the linen bag in his hand and poured out the contents, the white-faced middle-aged man and his employees opened their mouths in shock and froze.

"Such a spiritual weapon?" The young man looked at the pile of spiritual weapons piled on the table in surprise. He had only been working here for half a year, and this was the first time he had seen someone take out so many spiritual weapons at once.

"I want to be fooled. Could you please help me estimate how much these weapons can be sold for?" Lin Liyan said concisely.

"call……"

The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, calmed down his excitement, and began to help Lin Li evaluate the price.

The young man standing aside quickly left, and after a while, he came back with a bowl of tea.

"Sir, please have tea."

"Thanks."

Lin Li thanked him, took the tea handed to him, and took a sip.

…………

"Sir, according to your request, all of them will be converted into spirit stones, a total of three hundred." The fair-faced, beardless middle-aged man estimated the price and said to Lin Li, who was waiting quietly.

Three hundred spirit stones? I thought it was worth more than two hundred pieces! The price is good... Lin Li was quite satisfied, and then nodded to the middle-aged man with a clean face.

Then, under Lin Li's gaze, the other party turned around and came to a cabinet, opened the door of the cabinet, and took out a large wooden box.

"Click."

There is a copper lock on the big wooden box. Use the key to open it, and you can see that the box contains many crystal clear spiritual stones.

The fair-faced, beardless middle-aged man packed three hundred spirit stones for Lin Li. Lin Li took the bag handed over by the other party. After counting it, he had an idea in his mind and put all the spirit stones into the mysterious island.

"I'm leaving. If you want to be used as something in the future, I will come to you again." Lin Li was very satisfied with the transaction, said with a smile, and then stood up and left.

"Slow down, Master." The white-faced middle-aged man and his employee saw each other off. The two stood at the door and watched Lin Li get on an old carriage and leave.

"Shopkeeper, is there any problem with the origin of these spiritual weapons?" the young man asked.

"No matter whether those spiritual weapons come from a legitimate origin or not, as long as they enter our pawn shop, they come from a legitimate origin..." The white-faced, beardless middle-aged man said with a smile.
