Xue Huan understood what he meant. If she could complete the order, she wouldn't have to worry about the money.
She looked through it and tapped on the booklet, "This, this, and this task, I'll take it."
The first task is to find the Pisces pendant that the second son of the Fang family dropped into the Jiuwan River.
The background of the mission is this: Fang Jingming, the second son of the Fang family, accidentally fell into the water when he was a child. Since then, he has been weak and sickly, and once he was not going to survive. His family was very worried and suspected that he was possessed by some unclean things. They prayed to gods and Buddhas in many ways. Finally, under the guidance of Master Guanyun, the abbot of Lingyun Temple, Fang's mother offered a Pisces jade pendant in front of the Buddha and devoutly recited Buddhist scriptures for 49 days.
Afterwards, Fang Jingming, who wore the Pisces jade pendant, recovered quickly and never got sick again.
It can be said that this jade pendant is equivalent to Fang Jingming's amulet. He has never taken it off since he was a child and has worn it until he grew up.
A while ago, Fang Jingming was invited to board a friend's pleasure boat. A group of people were drinking, reciting poems and appreciating paintings on the boat. As a result, Fang Jingming got drunk and fell off the boat.
The man was rescued, but the Pisces jade pendant on his body was missing, obviously it had fallen into the river.
If it was just an ordinary jade pendant, it would be fine. With the Fang family's wealth, they wouldn't care at all. But this jade pendant was related to Fang Jingming's life. Because Master Guanyun had said that Fang Jingming must not take off the Pisces jade pendant after wearing it, otherwise his life would be in danger.
Strangely enough, Fang Jingming, who lost his jade pendant, remained unconscious after being rescued and did not wake up.
The doctor came to see him but couldn't explain what was wrong because, judging from his physical condition, there was nothing wrong with Fang Jingming.
But I just can't wake up.
Isn't the problem with the jade pendant? So it's necessary to retrieve it.
But how easy is it to find a jade pendant from the huge Jiuwan River?
Jiuwan River is a tributary river branching off from the canal, surrounding most of the county town. The widest part of the river is as wide as 20 to 30 zhang (1 zhang ≈ 3.3 meters). Due to the beautiful scenery on both sides of the river and the clear water, pleasure boats often come and go in this area, making it a good place for city dwellers to relax and have fun.
Fang Jingming had fallen into the water in this area before. Finding a small jade pendant in such a vast river was not as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack, but it was almost as difficult.
The Fang family hired many people who were good at swimming to dive into the river to search for it, but they still couldn't find it.
Later, the Fang family got some advice and learned that there was such a place as the Tianxia Pawnshop, so they quickly placed an order and set a very high reward!
A total of thirty thousand taels!
Such a high price naturally attracted many people.
But since the task is still pending, it means that the jade pendant has not been found yet.
Xue Huan thought she could give this mission a try. After all, how long could an average person, no matter how good a swimmer they were, hold their breath underwater? But she was different. She had the Five Elements Beads, a powerful weapon!
Can walk freely underwater.
If she can't find the jade pendant, then no one else can.
The second task is to find the long-lost sister of Shaoyao, the top performer in Qinghuan Pavilion.
This is a very common missing person mission, but because the identity of the person who placed the order is quite special, this mission becomes special.
Qinghuan Pavilion is located in Zhangtai Street, a famous place for fireworks in Fengchi County. There are many singing and dancing halls, theaters and brothels on this street. It is a famous money-making den and a place of ecstasy.
Qinghuan Pavilion is one of the best among them, and the top courtesan Shaoyao is well-known to everyone.
Many wealthy businessmen, scholars and talented people fell in love with her.
Originally, Shaoyao had no choice, but now that she is at the peak of her career, her say in Qinghuan Pavilion has naturally increased, and she has also gained a certain degree of freedom.
When she accidentally learned about the existence of pawnshops, she became determined to find her sister who had been sold and suffered the same fate as herself, so that she would no longer suffer.
However, she had not been separated from her sister for many years and did not know what she looked like now. She only provided a vague clue - her sister was a big eater and very strong, and she was now fourteen years old.
A big eater and strong? What's the point of this? Fourteen-year-old girls are even more likely to eat a lot.
Therefore, this task has not been completed yet.
However, when Xue Huan saw it, her heart moved, because she quickly thought of someone - Ah Man.
Her age is also suitable.
But are things in the world really so coincidental?
After all, there aren't many fourteen-year-old girls in this world who can eat and have great strength, but there are probably quite a few. Based on these two points alone, it's impossible to be certain.
However, compared to other tasks, this one at least has some clues, and all she needs to do is further confirm it.
The third task is to find out the reason why the Bodhi tree in Lingyun Temple suddenly died and revive it.
Lingyun Temple is located on Lingyun Mountain in the south of Fengchi County. It has a history of more than 300 years. It is a famous Buddhist holy place not only in Fengchi County, but also in the whole of Daqi.
Its abbot, Master Guanyun, mentioned earlier, was highly respected even by the royal family.
The Bodhi tree in Lingyun Temple is said to have been planted by the first abbot himself. It has existed since the temple was built and has been alive for more than three hundred years.
Such an old Bodhi tree can be said to be closely linked to the rise and fall of Lingyun Temple.
However, not long ago, the Bodhi tree withered without any warning, just overnight.
This incident caused panic among everyone in the temple, and they wanted to find out the reason why the Bodhi tree withered and revive it.
But so far there has been no success.
So Lingyun Temple had to ask for external help.
This foreign aid is the pawnshop of the world.
It has to be said that pawnshops have a wide network of contacts, and they have contacts with all kinds of people.
Xue Huan had a better understanding of the strength of this force.
I don’t know who the boss behind it is, but it must be no simple matter.
Back to the mission itself, the Bodhi tree in Lingyun Temple withered overnight, which was definitely not due to natural reasons. Whether it was to investigate the cause of its withering or to restore it to its former prosperity, Xue Huan felt that it would not be difficult for her.
These three tasks were all within her capabilities, so Xue Huan could take them on so easily.
Wang Yan: "Are you sure you want to take all three tasks?"
"Sure."
"Three hundred taels of mission deposit."
Xue Huan: “???” I have to pay a deposit to accept the task?
Wang Yan rolled his eyes at her. "What else? Do you think you're taking these missions for nothing? If someone without any ability were to randomly take these missions, wouldn't our pawnshop be in such a mess?"
"If the task is completed, will the deposit be refunded?"
"If you complete the mission, you'll get an 80% refund. If you fail the mission, you still want a refund? You're dreaming!"
While speaking, Wang Yan took out three bamboo plates, engraved a number on each of them, and then took out the seal that belonged only to the pawnshop in the world and stamped it on each bamboo plate.
