Chapter 17 News
"I want to know about Polygonum multiflorum. Don't you know if you have any relevant information?"
Jiang Ji said straight to the point without any concealment.
Qian Yu showed a confident smile on his face: "As long as the young master can afford the price, no matter what information this Fengzhou is, I can provide."
Hearing this, Jiang Ji was a little surprised. Although there must be exaggerated elements, at least it is still very energetic in the entire Fengzhou.
"Since that's the case, I don't know if there is any news about Polygonum multiflorum nearby, and the price is easy to say."
Qian Yu slightly raised his right hand and opened his five fingers: "Five hundred taels, I can tell the young master the news about Polygonum multiflorum in Lechun County."
Jiangbei City and Liucheng belong to Lechun County, and there are seven or eight county towns of all sizes.
When Jiang Ji heard the price Qian Yu said, his eyes stuttered, and a little news was 500 taels of silver, which was enough for an ordinary family of three to spend decades.
Before, Jiang Ji carried a big bag at the wharf, and he could only earn six or seven taels of silver in a month, which was enough for him to work for several years.
However, Jiang Ji is a time traveler after all, not a teenager who is really ignorant of the world.
His face remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Isn't this a bit expensive?"
"Our Jinyulou has always been honest and the information we provide is definitely worth the price."
Qian Yu still had a smile on his face: "If the young master thinks it is expensive, he can go to another family, I won't force him."
Jiang Ji certainly understood the importance of news.
Moreover, the fact that Jinyulou can keep growing shows that the information they provide is indeed worth buying at a high price for others. Otherwise, if the reputation is bad, how many people will come?
Jiang Ji took out five silver bills from the remaining 1,200 taels, and handed them to Qian Yu with some pain in his heart.
With the silver notes in hand, Qian Yu's smile on his face became even brighter: "Young master wait a moment, and the news you want will be delivered to you immediately, so that you can be satisfied."
Jiang Ji waved his hand, this is just being polite. Can you still get the money back if you are not satisfied?
Not long after, before Jiang Ji finished drinking a cup of tea, Qian Yu returned to the room again and handed Jiang Ji a booklet.
"This is all the news about Polygonum multiflorum in Lechun County, and it has been arranged one by one from the difficulty of obtaining it. The front is the easiest. Please check it out."
Jiang Ji opened the book and saw the first news: Xu Xuyang, the left guardian of the Yunlong Gang of Wanshou City, owned a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. Half a year ago, he said it was a spiritual medicine for his disciples to build foundations, and he could obtain it by becoming his disciples.
In addition, there are martial arts, realm, and preferences that Xu Xuyang is good at.
The second page is that Vanke Hong, the magistrate of Liucheng, owns a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and Vanke Hong has a daughter, who is at the age of getting married. As long as he becomes his son-in-law, he has a high chance of getting a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum.
Then there is Vanke Hong's introduction and information about his daughter.
...
Jiang Ji finished looking carefully one by one, then raised his head and looked at Qian Yu who had been standing in front of him, and said sincerely: "Although this news is expensive, it is indeed worth the money."
Qian Yu obviously enjoyed it very much, and his smile was a little more sincere: "It's good that the young master is satisfied. I hope I can continue to take care of our Jinyulou business in the future."
I am afraid I will sell myself to you Jinyulou when I come a few more times.
He complained in his heart, but Jiang Ji smiled on his face: "That's certain. Since I have got what I want, I'll say goodbye."
"Young Master walks slowly."
Qian Yu politely sent Jiang Ji out.
Jiang Ji put the booklet in his body and thought about his next plan.
Although there are more than ten news about Polygonum multiflorum in the brochure, only five can be confirmed.
Three of them are basically impossible to get, such as the third one: a magic master who appeared in Wanshou City a few days ago, Yun Jiuzhong, who smelted iron hand, got a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum, and then introduced Yun Jiuzhong's life.
This is a moody, murderous master of the destiny realm of detachment.
Jiang Ji's martial arts skills are not enough in front of Yun Jiuzhong, and he might be killed by chance.
So after reading it, Jiang Ji felt that with his current situation, there were only some possibility for the first two items.
However, Jiang Ji also ruled out the second one after thinking about it.
First, the time is too short, and second, how could a county magistrate look down on Jiang Ji, who is still a wanted criminal?
Even if Jiang Ji wanted to seduce his daughter, he wouldn't have a chance, and he would even seek death if he went to steal or rob.
"So there is only one way. Go to the Yunlong Gang to find Xu Xuyang to become a disciple. If he succeeds, he will not only solve the current dilemma, but also be able to be a backer for nothing."
Jiang Ji is still somewhat confident about this method.
Judging from the information about Xu Xuyang he obtained, he practiced a horizontal practice technique called bronze statue.
Jiang Ji happened to be talented in horizontal training, so he had some confidence in successfully becoming a disciple.
Wanshou City is adjacent to Liucheng, but the distance is not far. If you ride a horse, you will arrive in about half a day.
Because of the urgent time, after setting the target, Jiang Ji immediately bought a horse and rushed to Wanshou City.
...
Wanshou City is the county town of Lechun County, which is much more prosperous than trading towns like Jiangbei City.
There were crowds of people in the city, and all kinds of hawking sounds were endless.
It may be a bit exaggerating to swing shoulders, but the noisy scenes on the streets are real.
Jiang Ji led the horse into the crowd, and his originally tense mood relaxed for a moment.
The Yunlong Gang is the largest gang in Wanshou City, and even the people from the government have to give them some face.
The Yunlong Gang's residence in the city is naturally known to the public.
Jiang Ji found out the location of the station without much effort.
Looking at the large mansion that covers a very large area in front of him, Jiang Ji felt a little nervous for a moment.
Since Xu Xuyang made the decision to accept disciples, many people will naturally be moved by the news.
It is said that more than a thousand people came to apprenticeship the next day, and you can imagine how famous Xu Xuyang is in Lechun County.
However, although many people came to become disciples, so far, half a year has passed, but no one has succeeded. This shows Xu Xuyang's strictness in accepting disciples.
"What are you doing? You are not allowed to stay at will in front of the Yunlong Gang's headquarters."
The person guarding the door shouted loudly.
Looking at the two gang members wearing black uniforms and long swords hanging on their waists, Jiang Ji hurriedly said, "I heard that the left guardian Xu Xuyang intends to accept disciples. I came here specially. I would like to ask you two to give me some advice."
As he said that, Jiang Ji walked forward and the hidden man stuffed a small piece of silver.
The two of them immediately looked much better. One of them said, "I think you are not young anymore. You seem to have martial arts. Our left guardian is strict in accepting disciples. You basically have no hope."
Jiang Ji is now in his original appearance. After all, his simple disguise is easy to see through for the old Jianghu. It is better to be sincere if he is here to become a disciple.
