Inside Jiangyang City, Ning Ye and the others had been waiting in the inn for a whole day, but unfortunately, when Zhang Zihe returned early the next morning, he looked completely dejected.
Without asking, Ning Ye knew that he probably wouldn't even see them, and it was uncertain whether he would even enter the Sun family's gate.
Ning Ye said, "Mr. Zhang, I have three solutions to this matter. I wonder which one you would like to choose."
Zhang Zihe forced himself to speak and said, "I have made myself very clear, so why won't you even meet me? Why are you so heartless?"
Ning Ye slightly raised his hand. "Mr. Zhang, if you're not going to listen to me now, I don't mind giving you a slap to bring you to your senses."
Unfortunately, Zhang Zihe couldn't listen to anything and kept muttering to himself. It was clear that he had completely lost his temper.
Ning Ye wasn't one to back down from a promise, so he delivered a vicious slap, slapping Zhang Zihe's entire face until it swelled up. The intense pain finally brought Zhang Zihe back to his senses.
Ning Ye repeated what he had just said.
Zhang Zihe, as if grasping at a lifeline, grabbed Ning Ye's hand and said, "Young Master, as long as there is a way to let me see him, I am willing to do anything."
The guards around him were also curious about what Ning Ye would do about this, since such things were all too common.
Such plots have been written to death in plays throughout history. Unless Zhang Zihe is now successful and enjoys the emperor's favor, it is absolutely impossible.
Ning Ye cleared his throat and said, "First, disregarding Miss Sun's reputation and directly announcing that he already has your child, she will definitely not be able to accept it."
Zhang Zihe shook his head frantically, "No, absolutely not! If Qingyu doesn't like me anymore, then this will harm her. I'm not that kind of person."
"There is a second method. I have a fake death medicine here. As long as you take it, you will be indistinguishable from a dead person for a day, and there will be no difference between you and the dead."
"As for the third option, we can only take you to the Sun family first, and then make a decision after you meet them."
"If you could do that, that would be wonderful. But what if someone finds out? Wouldn't that implicate you?"
Ning Ye smiled slightly, "Don't worry, as long as I want to, no one can detect it, unless the other party has opened their third eye."
Ning Ye wasn't joking about this. Although he couldn't sneak into the heavily guarded palace undetected, he should be able to easily infiltrate the Sun family compound.
"It's still early, you can rest for a while and we'll set off at night. After all, it's broad daylight and people aren't blind."
Zhang Zihe nodded, then turned and went to his room.
Ning Ye took out a few taels of silver from his pocket and threw them on the table. "Don't just stay here. Go out and take a walk. You've come all this way, so you can't just do nothing. If you see anything you like, buy it too."
After thanking Ning Ye for his generosity, the guards also left the inn.
As for Ning Ye himself, he naturally couldn't help but take a stroll around Jiangyang City, but before leaving, he still needed to check the items the system had given him this week.
The items in the shop this week have been randomly refreshed.
[Multi-functional night vision device, exchangeable for ten taels of silver.]
A large hot air balloon (capable of carrying twenty people) can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver.
A set of small listening devices (with built-in solar-powered batteries) can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver.
[A deluxe edition of *Jin Ping Mei*, ten copper coins per copy, can be redeemed repeatedly.]
[A potent adrenaline-fueled tonic, exchangeable for thirty taels of silver.]
The system is behaving the same way as always, except this time the items it's generating seem to be mostly related to high technology.
Although the quantities are small, each one has a very powerful function.
As a respectable person, Ning Ye would definitely criticize this fourth thing severely. He was a respectable person, so what was the use of brushing such things on himself?
Ning Ye held the copy of Jin Ping Mei in his hands and carefully read two pages. He then realized that this book was completely different from the ones he had read before.
Could it be that I'm watching a pirated copy?
Just as Ning Ye finished exchanging everything and was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that he could still exchange for the fourth item.
After Ning Ye redeemed another copy, he could basically confirm that as long as the page wasn't refreshed, he could redeem as many copies of Jin Ping Mei as he wanted, or as few as he wanted.
In ancient times, there was not much entertainment, so books like Jin Ping Mei could sometimes sell for a considerable amount of real money.
Although it's a bit embarrassing, who would complain about having too much money?
Ning Ye immediately decided that after finishing things here and returning home, he would definitely exchange a large batch of items to make a profit, otherwise all the system's efforts would be in vain.
If the system could speak, it would probably be cursing Ning Ye; this guy is a professional at changing his tune.
If there's anything about the Great Gan Dynasty that's somewhat commendable, it's its relatively open-minded atmosphere.
Here, women don't have many concerns about going out. They can even run their own shops or businesses. There are also female officials in the imperial court.
It is said that this rule was established by the founding emperor to commemorate his empress, so that women in the world could freely do what they liked without restraint.
After enjoying the sights on the street, Ning Ye wandered around until he arrived near a teahouse, where the sound of storytelling seemed quite lively.
Ning Ye also paid a few coins, bought a cup of tea, and casually found an empty seat to sit down.
On the stage, the storyteller was an old man with white hair and beard, and the stories he told were all about love and romance. Such stories were basically bound to have melodramatic plots, but the audience below the stage was still very engrossed in listening.
This made Ning Ye realize that the entertainment industry might be a sector with a significant talent gap.
No need for anything else, just a few simple things would probably be enough to amaze these ancient people. Since it was just to pass the time, Ning Ye listened patiently.
Unfortunately, no matter where you go, there are always some restless guys who make it hard to relax.
Not far away, a little girl pouring tea spilled it on a customer because she lost her grip.
Zhang Ji's true colors were revealed, as the clothes he was wearing were probably not cheap.
Upon seeing this, the old man on the stage nimbly jumped down from the stage and quickly came to the girl's side.
