Chapter 408: County Government
"It's ......"
The shopkeeper took the jade pendant, first took it in his hand and looked at it, then his pupils contracted violently, and then he swallowed a mouthful of saliva!
He looked horrified for a few moments as if he had seen something that frightened him, and then he swallowed and whispered something to the pawnshop errand runner.
The man nodded while listening, and after the shopkeeper's instructions were finished, the man looked at Lu Chen and King Jing again, and then walked out of the pawnshop quickly.
Seeing this situation, Lu Chen was quite surprised, and couldn't help frowning slightly, secretly saying that this pawnshop wouldn't be a black shop!
However, at this time, the shopkeeper greeted him with a smile on his face, took the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Two, who of you belongs to this jade pendant?" ”
"Mine." King Jing said directly, and she also felt that things seemed to be a little strange.
"Oh, it's this girl." The shopkeeper nodded, first glanced at King Jing up and down, and then continued to smile: "That's the case, this jade pendant is priceless, and the store has limited funds, I'm afraid it can't pawn this thing......"
King Jing's jade pendant, it is naturally priceless, and this is a small county town, Lu Chen didn't think much about it, but said directly: "In this way, this jade pendant is temporarily placed here, and the shopkeeper only needs to give us a hundred taels of silver, and after that, someone will give double the gold and silver to get it." ”
"What!? Only a hundred taels of silver!? The shopkeeper was shocked, and then looked at Lu Chen and King Jing's eyes, and became more and more vigilant.
It seems, as if you are watching a pair of male and female thieves!
"What? The shopkeeper's reluctance? Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked.
"No, no, no, this jade pendant is only a hundred taels of silver, of course I am willing, but I ......" As he spoke, the shopkeeper changed his words again, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, please wait a while, it will be fine immediately......"
What are you waiting for? A priceless jade pendant only bets one hundred taels of silver, and it has been stated that it will be redeemed with double gold and silver when the time comes! Lu Chen couldn't understand what he was waiting for, and after waiting for a while, he suddenly felt impatient: "Shopkeeper, what are you waiting for?" Don't tell me, you pawnshop can't even take out a hundred taels of silver! ”
"That's not it, the two of you are here soon......," the shopkeeper said, and at this time, a group of people suddenly appeared outside the pawnshop, all of them were soldiers in armor, led by the man who had just gone out, and walked quickly towards the pawnshop.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper pointed out the door and said, "It's here!" ”
As he spoke, the smiling expression on his face suddenly retracted.
A group of soldiers walked in quickly, and the leading captain had a sword pinned to his waist and stood still in front of Lu Chen and King Jing.
He first glanced at Lu Chen and King Jing, then pressed his left hand on the hilt, looked at the shopkeeper, and asked with a cold face, "It's these two!?" ”
"That's right! That's them! The shopkeeper said, and then hurriedly handed the jade pendant to the captain of the soldiers, and at the same time nodded and explained: "Master Jun, this jade pendant is from the hands of the first master of Jingguo, it is finely carved, and the workmanship is extremely exquisite, you see the pattern on it, it is the ...... of the royal family."
"Oh?" Hearing this, the captain of the soldier also understood, and couldn't help but take the jade pendant and look at it carefully, and at the same time asked in a condensed voice, "Are you sure?" ”
"Oops! Master Jun, the little one has been trading in a pawnshop for more than ten years, and I haven't seen any kind of treasure, but this jade pendant can match all the things in my store! Moreover, and it is absolutely impossible for the folk to have it! Then...... It's the thing of my Jing royal family! The shopkeeper said urgently.
Ah! Hearing this, the soldier captain's eyes immediately widened! And Lu Chen also understood, thinking about it, it must be that the shopkeeper saw the pattern on the jade pendant, thinking that he and King Jing were the thieves!
At this time, the captain of the soldiers also reacted, and couldn't help sneering at Lu Chen and King Jing, and said, "Good two bold Diao Min!" How dare you steal the court! Someone's coming! Take these two down! ”
"No!" Following his order, a group of soldiers behind him immediately surrounded him, ready to make a move against Lu Chen and King Jing.
"Wait!" The two of them, but the king of a country, if they were arrested by the soldiers of this small county town, it would really become a joke!
"Dare thief! What else do you have to say!? You have committed the heinous crime of exterminating the Nine Clans! The captain of the soldiers snapped.
There was nothing wrong with him, and Lu Chen didn't want to worry about him, but said lukewarmly: "Have you ever thought about it, if this jade pendant is really ours?" ”
"What!?" As if he had heard a big joke, the captain of the soldiers sneered: "Although you two are dressed extraordinary, how can such jade pendants be owned by ordinary people!" What's more, this is a royal thing! Don't tell me, my Jing royal family will come to pawn the jade pendant! It's ridiculous! ”
His words were very reasonable, Lu Chen couldn't refute them, and couldn't help but glance at King Jing, secretly blaming her for not taking anything else, but taking some royal jade pendant.
King Jing's beautiful eyes also showed a look of helplessness.
The two of them originally wanted to bet on something, exchange some gold and silver, and eat some food, so they rented a carriage and rushed back to the capital of Jingguo, but they didn't expect such a small episode to appear.
In the end, Lu Chen looked at the captain of the soldiers and said, "If this jade pendant was stolen by the two of us from the palace, it would be a shocking case, right?" ”
"Of course!"
"Then go and meet your county guard." Lu Chen smiled bitterly.
In the end, he and King Jing were watched by a team of soldiers and escorted to the Chengyang County Mansion.
In the lobby of the county government, Chengyang County was dressed in an official uniform, sat on the lobby, looked at Lu Chen and King Jing who were standing below, and couldn't help but shout:
"Dare to distract the people! See Ben Officer! Why not kneel!? ”
Lu Chen and King Jing glanced at each other, not to mention a small county guard, even the original emperor of the empire, the two of them, it is impossible to kneel on the ground to give a salute!
Lu Chen ignored the Chengyang County Guard, but leaned into King Jing's ear and whispered: "Sister Wang, this is the scene, you don't want to reveal your identity soon." ”
King Jing also whispered helplessly: "Brother Wang, even if I reveal my identity, but, this county guard doesn't know me at all." ”
“。。。。。。” Lu Chen was speechless, a county guard, if he hadn't been summoned by the royal court under special circumstances, of course it would be impossible to know the monarch.
At this moment, Chengyang County Shou saw that the two of them didn't even pay attention to themselves, but whispered below, couldn't help but be angry, and shouted:
"Dare to distract the people! In the county government, he dared to whisper in front of his own officials! If the official doesn't give you some color, take a look! Where is the official authority!? ”
As he spoke, he immediately raised his head again and shouted, "Someone! Stick to knock him to his knees! ”
