[1] The Rebirth of The Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

Chapter 81: Bargaining

Bai Xiao Sheng was not a person but an industry.

In one's time in the living, there are thousands of poses and attitudes, there are imperial courts and families, and also the commoners in the pugilist world. In the thirty six trades and seventy two industries, there were such people where they belonged to the three religions and nine schools of thoughts. It does not sound serious or noble but there were many opportunities and roles in them. There were times these people from three religions and nine schools of thoughts would maintain and preserve the sporadic relationship between the Imperial court and the pugilist world.

And Bai Xiao Shen was one of that industries.

As the name suggested, Bai Xiao Sheng was similar to detective agencies and in the hundred over years of legacy, this industry did not appear much and ordinary people would have never heard of it before. As for who or whom, no one knew. But not knowing did not meant that it was of no existence. The Feng Xian Pawnshop in the Ding capital was currently Ming Qi's Bai Xiao Sheng.

That red clad female's eyes started to be in awed and it was Mo Qing and those behind that felt somewhat weird. Even though they were in the army, they one roam the pugilist world but did not know about what was Bai Xiao Sheng.

It was naturally so, no matter it was Feng Xian Pawnshop or Bai Xiao Sheng, ordinary people would not know that the people who came here were all prepared.

"Young Lady is..." The red clad female asked.

"I am here to make a deal."

Hearing that, the red clad female's expression slightly changed following which she spoke to Shen Miao under the little shop assistant stunned eyes, "This Young Lady's stuff must be expensive, as such please follow me to discuss at the back."

Mo Qing and the rest wanted to follow but was held back by the red clad female, "These few are not required."

"Young Lady..." Jing Zhe was somewhat worried if Shen Miao would encounter any accident if she were to enter alone.

"You all remain back." Shen Miao said, "I will return upon the completion of the deal."

After Shen Miao and the red clad female left, Mo Qing and the rest were left at the outer hall. One of the guards that Shen Qiu gave to Shen Miao said, "Brother Mo, what is Young Lady doing here for?" Since they had killed people before, they had intuition for danger. That red clad female's expression and conversation between Shen Miao made these people feel that the matter was not simple at all.

"I too do not know." Mo Qing shook his head with a wry smile and looked towards the corridor that lead inside, "Young Lady has a sense of propriety."

The red clad female brought Shen Miao through the corridor. This corridor was very long and at the end of it there was a square pagoda that was six floor high. There was a veil at the highest flow which one was unable to see what was inside but the renovations were done extremely beautiful. Even the wood that was used to make the pillar was Wan Xiang wood which valued at thousands of gold.

Outsiders spread rumours that the owner of Feng Xian Pawnshop was extremely wealthy, else it would not have been maintained for so many years outside expectations. It bought the most expensive large piece of land in the Ding capital but income does not cover expenditure, and that was someone not anyone could bear.

But Shen Miao knew that the reason why Feng Xian Pawnshop was so rich and powerful was because the money they earn was not simply due to pawning of things but was one that did not require capital and naturally it was totally profiting.

The red clad female welcomed her into the lowest level of the pagoda and let her sit in a room at the lowest floor. It was a tea room that was filled with mahogany wooden tables and chairs that had lifelike carvings of landscapes. One was able to see a high artistic craftsmanship with one glance, it was really worth a lot of money.
