Chapter 479 Guessed (4)
"But Manager Ji hasn't been in Mingqi for two years. I'm afraid it would be troublesome to find out about Mingqi's affairs," she said.
Ji Yushu smiled, his brows etched with indescribable pride. "Miss Shen, please don't underestimate Fengxian Pawnshop. Although I haven't been in Dingjing for the past two years and Fengxian Pawnshop is closed, we still have to keep doing business. Otherwise, where will we get the money to support our family? Bai Xiaosheng is still doing business. After all, we can't let the harvest of the past two years go to waste. So, Miss Shen, what news do you want to hear? Fengxian Pawnshop will naturally be at your service."
Shen Miao chuckled softly, "Now that Shopkeeper Ji says this, I feel relieved. I came here today to do three business deals, all to buy information. The first one... Shopkeeper Ji, do you know the news that the young marquis of the Xie family in the Lin'an Marquisate died in battle two years ago?"
Ji Yushu was stunned and looked at Shen Miao: “Why are you asking about this, Miss Shen?”
"The Xie family and my Shen family are both military families of Mingqi. Although the Marquis of Lin'an and my father have different political views, they are still warriors who respect each other. As the saying goes, when a rabbit dies, the fox mourns. Young Marquis Xie, a talented man, died tragically on the battlefield. I feel deeply sorry for him. I would like to ask Shopkeeper Ji to help me find out any clues about Young Marquis Xie's death in battle, including his funeral."
Ji Yushu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "That's easy. However, everyone knows that Xie Jingxing is dead. It's not easy to find out something different. I can't guarantee that I can find out anything. After all, it's been too long since the person died."
"Shopkeeper Ji is doing his job with all his heart. If you really can't find it, I'm fine with it." Shen Miao picked up the teapot and poured herself another cup of tea. She said calmly, "Second business, Shopkeeper Ji, do you know of an imperial physician named Gao Yang in the Mingqi Palace?"
With a "puff", Ji Yushu spat out a mouthful of tea. Shen Miao winked at Jingzhe, who quickly handed him a handkerchief.
Ji Yushu took the handkerchief and frantically wiped the water stains off his body. He only heard Shen Miao say, "Shopkeeper Ji seems very surprised?"
"Ahem," Ji Yushu said, "I'm a little surprised. Why would Miss Shen think of looking for the imperial physician?"
“I was just entrusted by someone.” Shen Miao looked at him: “Has Shopkeeper Ji never heard of this name?”
Gao Yang shook his head: "This is the first time I've heard of it. I guess her medical skills aren't that great, otherwise she would have been famous all over the world long ago." He looked at Shen Miao and said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, how could the young lady be involved with the palace? Although Bai Xiaosheng is in business, the palace has too many ties to it. We businessmen can't take risks."
Shen Miao looked at him without saying anything, but her calm gaze made Ji Yushu feel a little uneasy. Ji Yushu cleared his throat twice, and his voice inexplicably lowered a few degrees: "It's not impossible, but it will cost more money..."
"Shopkeeper Ji, don't worry about the silver." Shen Miao smiled, "It won't be short of money, Shopkeeper Ji."
Ji Yushu was already feeling guilty and short of breath after Shen Miao's previous two transactions. He laughed dryly twice and said, "I wonder what the third piece of news Miss Shen wants to buy is about?"
"The third business deal is a bit difficult." Shen Miao looked at him, "But I believe that with Shopkeeper Ji's ability, it's only a matter of time."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yushu forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your trust, Miss Shen, but...what exactly could make Miss Shen feel so difficult?"
“I want to inquire about someone,” Shen Miao put down the teacup, “His Royal Highness Prince Rui of Daliang.”
Ji Yushu's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, but his face was full of mystery: "Oh? Why did Miss Shen think of inquiring about His Royal Highness Prince Rui? As far as I know, His Royal Highness Prince Rui has just arrived in Dingjing not long ago. Even if there is really an acquaintance, the most Miss Shen can see him is at the tribute banquet. Could it be that Miss Shen is also like those noble ladies, in love with Prince Rui's beauty, so she came here to inquire?" At the end of Ji Yushu's words, for some reason he became happy again, and his voice changed from being depressed just now, with a rare excitement.
