The sudden movement startled Su Liuer so much that she almost screamed, and he fiercely grabbed her wrist.
What do you want to do?
"To help you relieve the pain."
Jiang Qingwan let her hold her hand, her eyes pure and clear.
"I'll also help you cleanse the death aura from your wounds, as a way of repaying the favor you did for helping me out of that predicament at Huailou that day."
Su Liuer then realized that the wound really didn't hurt anymore.
She let go of his hand and looked down suspiciously, only to find that there was no yellow talisman there.
No one knows where the talisman went.
She looked up in astonishment.
"You know magic?"
Jiang Qingwan nodded.
"I know a little bit about this. The weapon that hurt you was probably dug out of a tomb of the dead. The death energy entered your body and will affect your luck."
Su Liuer found it fascinating.
What will happen if it has an impact?
Jiang Qingwan thought for a moment.
"It might cause Huai Lou to lose money."
Su Liuer became even more interested.
"What other skills do you have? Can you find treasure?"
Jiang Qingwan suddenly recalled the female voice she had heard on her way to the teahouse, and connecting it with Su Liuer at this moment, she roughly guessed what was going on.
Huai Lou often hosts a treasure-hunting competition.
Some people go in with piles of silver to look for treasure, while others secretly spend a lot of money to hire someone to find it.
To maintain the prosperity of Huai Lou, treasures are indispensable, and anything that can entice Su Liuer to personally take action must be extraordinary.
The weapon used by the person who injured her came from the Tomb of the Dead.
Perhaps this treasure also came from the tomb.
"Digging up graves is considered bad karma, so I don't do it."
Su Liuer's eyes lit up.
"You really do have some skills. Alright, then I'll try a different approach: find people. I'm going to wipe out this bunch of bastards who dared to cheat me. If you can help me find their hideout, I'll give you a hundred taels of gold."
Jiang Qingwan's eyes lit up.
Gold is always more attractive than silver.
This deal is worth discussing.
In the back courtyard of Huai Lou,
Su Liuer, her clothes half-undone, reclined gracefully on the chaise lounge, her alluring figure captivating.
One hundred taels of gold were placed in front of Jiang Qingwan.
The orange-yellow gold bars are very pretty.
Jiang Qingwan was quite satisfied. She waved for Qinghui to take it to the car and then began to cast a divination.
"Anything that those people had, anything will do."
Su Liuer thought for a moment and pointed to the blood-stained iron needles lying to the side.
"Are the hidden weapons they're using acceptable?"
After washing the needles with clean water, Jiang Qingwan placed them on the table in order, along with four talismans. She shook the four directions to cast a divination, and then took out a small compass about the size of an orange from her purse.
Its texture is complex, and its color is dark brown, as if it has been soaked in countless drops of blood.
As the hexagram changes, the needle on the compass swings continuously.
Jiang Qingwan picked up the paper and pen beside her and began to write.
Using a compass to locate people has distance limitations.
It's different from searching for bones through bloodlines.
But it is more detailed.
As long as it's within a certain distance, and you compare it with a map of the capital, you should be able to find it fairly accurately.
However, there is one thing: it cannot be disturbed by spiritual power.
A moment later, Jiang Qingwan finished the divination, took the directions she had written down, compared them with a map of the capital, and quickly pointed to a location with her fingertip.
"The master of hidden weapons is here. If you want to find their lair, one person's hidden weapons alone won't be enough. It would be best to capture another person and obtain their commonly used items. Only by having the routes of the two intersect can you find their usual location."
Su Liuer had already come to her side.
Looking at the location she pointed out, a cold smile slowly crept onto his face.
"Then let's catch this one first."
If she hadn't been ambushed, she wouldn't have suffered such a humiliating defeat.
"Thank you very much, Madam Jiang. If you need anything, I will send someone to invite you again. The price can be negotiated separately."
Jiang Qingwan carefully put the compass away.
"Don't worry, I won't take the gold for nothing. As long as you get what I want, I will definitely find the place for you."
After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly and turned to walk out.
Su Liuer stared at her back until she disappeared through the door before slowly looking away.
She seemed to understand why Mo Yunhan treated Jiang Qingwan differently.
Ever since she first saw him at Huailou that day, she had inquired about him out of curiosity.
A woman who was kicked out of her home and had no powerful maternal family to protect her could live so freely and unrestrainedly. If she didn't have great abilities, how could she have done it?
Seeing you again today, I'm truly impressed.
As the carriage emerged from the back alley of Huailou and turned left, Jiang Qingwan heard Doctor Zhong's voice, which sounded like he was arguing with someone.
"Do you think you can just go in if you have money? You don't even know what this place is for. You'd better come with me right now."
Another voice was being unreasonable.
“I’m going in. There are still places in the capital I can’t go. You’ve been a legendary doctor for so many years, how come you’re so poor? I don’t care, go get some money, I have to get in tonight.”
Dr. Zhong was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.
"Even a random treasure from Huai Lou costs over a thousand taels of silver. You could kill me and I still wouldn't have any!"
Jiang Qingwan gestured for Qinghui to stop the carriage, lifted the side curtain, rested one hand on the window, and said calmly, "There will be no treasure bidding at Huailou tonight."
Arrest them while the iron is hot.
Su Liuer would definitely not drag it out, lest things get complicated.
Therefore, Huai Lou will not be competing for treasures tonight.
Zhong Yuan was stunned.
The old man, whose hands were being held by him, glanced at Jiang Qingwan.
"How do you know about Bu Jingbao? Are you the manager of Huai Lou?"
Zhong Yuan's expression was strange, and he quickly withdrew his hand and bowed.
"Miss Jiang, what a coincidence."
The old man raised an eyebrow and looked at Zhong Yuan with suspicion.
Zhong Yuankuang winked at him.
The old man's gaze fell on Jiang Qingwan again. The sudden surge of power made Qing Sui, who was sitting on the carriage shaft, feel a chill run down her spine. She subconsciously tensed up and became alert to her surroundings.
