Inside the box was a silver badge with a lion surrounded by two swords.
It looks very much like the family crest of medieval European nobility.
Lin Jiu couldn't figure out any connection between the Dark Night Group's investigation of the badge and surveillance of her.
However, Lin Jiu, who was naturally sensitive to antiques, could tell at a glance that the badge was no ordinary item.
She knew she could learn more in one place.
The underground antique trading market in the imperial capital, the ghost market.
Most of the antiques traded at the ghost market are of unknown origin, and the stalls are only set up at night. Next to each stall, there is a dim kerosene lamp.
People trading here cannot see each other's faces clearly because of the dim light, so it is called the ghost market.
As night fell, Lin Jiu, wearing a black baseball cap and a mask, came to the legendary ghost market.
The ghost market is located in a valley near the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital. There is no one here during the day, but it is crowded at night.
The stalls have a wide variety of items coming from all over the world.
Lin Jiu checked very carefully, not missing any stall, and suddenly found a stall with a similar silver badge.
She bent down and picked up a badge to examine it. The texture and workmanship were indeed incomparable to the one Yi Xin gave her.
"Girl, is this your first time in the ghost market? Even if you are wearing a mask, I can tell." The boss, wearing flip-flops, was playing cards on his mobile phone with his legs crossed.
"Boss, how much is this?" Lin Jiu picked up the badge.
"Girl, I knew you knew what you were talking about. This badge is made of silver. One is six hundred, and two are one thousand!"
"Six hundred?" Lin Jiu suddenly felt that the badge Yi Xin gave her was not so precious.
The boss put down his phone and said, "Girl, don't think it's expensive. This is made in Southeast Asia."
"Is there something special about this badge? What does the one with an axe mean?"
"Miss, you have good eyesight. At that time, any family in the Nanyang Kingdom who had served as a general would have an axe on their emblem. Now that the Nanyang Kingdom's royal family has been overthrown, these emblems are very valuable. Six hundred is not expensive!"
Lin Jiu was about to continue asking the boss questions when she suddenly felt someone walking towards her quickly from behind.
Lin Jiu turned around quickly and grabbed the neck of the person behind him.
"Xiaojiu, I'm Ye Xiu."
When Lin Jiu saw this face, which was more beautiful than a woman's, he finally let go of her hand. "Why did you come to the Ghost Market?"
"Ask me? Aren't you here too?" Ye Xiu rubbed his neck.
"I asked you first!"
"Prepare to find some good stuff and bring it back to Southeast Asia."
At this moment, Ye Xiu saw the silver badge in Lin Jiu's hand. "Xiao Jiu, you like this kind of badge. We have plenty of them in our old house. We can give you as many as you want. You don't have to buy them here. What if there are fakes?"
Ye Xiu snatched the badge from Lin Jiu's hand and threw it to the boss.
The boss was unhappy. "Why do you say mine are fake?! Please don't disturb my business! The girl is about to buy it, and you suddenly come in and ask for as much as she wants. Impossible! The Nanyang royal family is long gone, who are you trying to fool... Don't leave."
Lin Jiu was grabbed by Ye Xiu's wrist and walked forward to a stall selling fans.
Under normal circumstances, Lin Jiu would definitely not let Ye Xiu drag her away, but just now, Ye Xiu said that there were many badges in his old house, which aroused Lin Jiu's curiosity.
"Xiaojiu, whichever fan you like, I'll give you one." Ye Xiu looked at Lin Jiu expectantly.
"I don't like the fan. I like the badge just now."
Ye Xiu looked disappointed, "I thought you would like it."
Suddenly, Ye Xiu's eyes rolled. "Xiaojiu, since university hasn't started yet, I invite you to come to our old house and see if there are any badges you like. I'll give you as many as you want. How about that?"
