Chapter 1730: The Function of the Wooden Sign
Taylor thought of the women in his house, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
Women, as long as you let them be your women, they will be devoted to you forever!
Xuanyuan Jin's face darkened, and a murderous look flashed in his eyes.
Tang Bao also frowned.
Taylor's gaze disgusted her.
"Goodbye!"
Tang Bao said this, moving her fingers slightly.
After the two of them left the house, Tang Bao said, "Brother, it's obvious that Taylor is not a good person. He can't even pretend. Can't the high priest see his true nature? Why did he give him power?"
"Is the high priest necessarily a good person?" Xuanyuan Jin asked back.
"Oh, you're right. So, do you think we've fallen into a wolf's den?" Tang Bao said with a frown, "If the high priest is a bad guy, Sister Pomegranate will definitely be sad. Although she keeps saying that she doesn't recognize the high priest as her biological father, no one wants their biological father to be a bad guy."
Xuanyuan Jin touched Tang Bao's head and said, "In this world, apart from those who commit crimes, are violent and cruel, and are extremely evil, there is no absolute good or evil. It's just a matter of different standpoints. As for the high priest—"
Xuanyuan Jin paused, then added thoughtfully, "To us, he may not be a bad person."
Tang Bao: “…”
Tang Bao thought about the furniture in the guest house where she lived, and then thought about the furniture in Yi Mo's room, and couldn't help but blink her big eyes.
It was obvious that the furniture in Yimo's room was far less high-end than that in the guest house.
Not only that, Yimo's yard is a bit remote.
The two of them went straight back to Muling Garden, called Shi Liu and Zhao Wu, and left the high priest's mansion.
Now that I'm in Xiacheng, I naturally have to walk around.
"Have you heard? Miss Yi Mo's face was covered in pig shit..."
"Didn't you get beaten into a pig's head?"
"Where? I heard he turned into a filthy wild boar!"
"Oh my God! Really?"
“…”
Tang Bao: “…”
Tang Bao looked at the aunties who were gossiping, and the corners of her mouth twitched.
As expected, the speed and ability of Bagua's mutation are not limited to any country or era.
"How dare you! How dare you slander Miss Yi Mo!" A man suddenly shouted, waving his hand, "Come here, arrest him!"
Several patrolmen armed with swords immediately rushed over and twisted the arms of several aunts.
"Sir, this is unjust..."
"Sir, we dare not speak ill of Miss Yi Mo..."
"Sir, you can't arrest innocent people..."
Several middle-aged women cried like ghosts and wolves.
There was chaos on the street.
Soon, teams of patrol soldiers appeared on the streets.
The pedestrians on the street immediately fell silent, and everyone felt insecure.
Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin looked at each other.
There was no surprise at this crackdown on power.
But, how can we stop the gossips so easily?
It will only backfire.
A few people continued to stroll around.
"Miss, this bell is so beautiful."
Shi Liu stopped in front of a small stall selling silver jewelry and picked up a small bell and shook it.
The bell made a crisp sound.
"If Sister Shiliu likes it, let's buy it." Tang Bao said, "Uncle, how much is this bell?"
"If you like, please take it." The vendor said respectfully, "You are a distinguished guest of the High Priest's Palace. I dare not accept your money."
Tang Bao was slightly startled.
Then, he looked down at the black wooden sign hanging around his waist.
Xuanyuan Jin followed Tang Bao's gaze and also fell on the wooden sign. He whispered, "It's because of this wooden sign."
Tang Bao understood.
It seems that the high priest is really good to them.
"Uncle, if I have this wooden sign, I can buy things in Xiacheng without spending any money?" Tang Bao asked curiously.
"To answer your question, sir, yes." The vendor replied with a bow.
Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin looked at each other.
It seems that they can walk around Xiacheng with ease.
Sure enough, it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court.
Tang Bao took out a small amount of gold and a blueprint and said, "Uncle, I want this bell, and I want to customize a few more ankle and hand bells of this style..."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she placed the gold and the blueprints in front of the vendor.
The peddler looked at the gold in front of him with shining eyes, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Sir, the Priest's Palace has a rule that anyone holding a black wooden sign is a VIP of Xia City, and all expenses in Xia City are free..."
Tang Bao smiled slightly and said, "Then this ingot of gold is a reward for you."
The vendor was delighted.
"Thank you very much!"
Seeing this, other vendors and passers-by all looked at the vendor with envy.
Xuanyuan Jin reached out and picked up a pair of silver combs from the stall.
One end of the comb is carved with an iris, and the other end is carved with a silver wire qilin.
"It's your reward."
Xuanyuan Jin placed two gold leaves in front of the vendor.
"Thank you very much." The vendor's face was full of excitement.
He really made a fortune today. He hopes that there will be more people hanging wooden signs in the priest's house in the future.
"Brother has such good taste." Tang Bao looked at the comb in Xuanyuan Jin's hand and said with a smile.
"As long as you like it."
Xuanyuan Jin said this, and naturally inserted one of the combs into Tang Bao's hair.
When the vendor next to them saw them, he immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations on your marriage."
Tang Bao: “…”
Xuanyuan Jin: "..."
Tang Bao silently took off the comb on her head, put it back in Xuanyuan Jin's hand, and said, "He is my brother."
Street vendor: “…”
stunned.
"Uncle, where can I buy medicinal herbs here?" Tang Bao asked.
The vendor, still in shock, stammered, "At the corner ahead..."
Tang Bao nodded to the vendor, thanked him and continued walking.
Xuanyuan Jin looked down at the two combs in his hands, silently put them in his arms, and followed.
Shi Liu was playing with the little bell in her hand, moving among the crowd with excitement on her face.
"This girl...why does she look familiar?" An old woman said suspiciously, looking at Shi Liu's back.
But after thinking for a long time, I couldn’t remember anything.
"Alas! I'm old... I'm old..."
The old woman shook her head and walked away with a staggering step.
Tang Bao walked forward a few hundred meters and indeed smelled a faint medicinal fragrance at the corner.
"Shopkeeper, do you have these herbs here?"
Tang Bao entered the drugstore, took out a list and placed it in front of the drugstore owner.
In addition to some common medicinal herbs, there are also several rare ones on the list.
The shopkeeper looked at the list and his pupils tightened slightly.
Then, he pointed to a few of the herbs and said, "These small shops have them, but the rest don't."
The shopkeeper shook his head, looking apologetic.
Tang Bao was not surprised at all and said with a smile, "Then does the shopkeeper know where I can buy these herbs?"
The shopkeeper was about to shake his head when Tang Bao said, "I want to buy in large quantities and have a long-term partnership. The price is negotiable."
After Tang Bao finished speaking, she touched the wooden sign on her waist intentionally or unintentionally.
The shopkeeper's eyes fell on the wooden sign and his expression changed.
