Chapter 04: Chapter 4 The Three Treasures
In the next few days, Jiang Lin inquired about the situation in the town, and finally he learned a lot about the price of jade here, as well as some hearsay about zombies.
"After all, this is just a small town. It's better to go to the county town to take action." However, it is quite a distance from Nanming to the county town, so it is best to take a carriage there.
"Brother Dong, I want to trouble you with something."
Jiang Lin found Jiang Chengdong, who was looking after the shop in the town, and directly told him his purpose.
Jiang Chengdong said without hesitation: "If you have any questions, just ask and I will definitely help you."
"It's like this. I want to go to the county town and see if there is a reliable handlebar type. Then you can find some brothers for me and ask them to go to Shanyin with me."
"I thought it was nothing. It's a trivial matter. I'll take care of it. Just sit here and wait." Jiang Chengdong patted his chest, making a banging sound. Then he asked a clan brother to help him look at the shop, and he
A man walked out.
Not long after, Jiang Chengdong came over with a carriage and ten strong young men.
"Brother Lin, let's see how these brothers are doing."
"Brother Lin."
"Brother Lin."
The tribesmen who came here all knew him, had eaten at the banquet he hosted, and had a good impression of Jiang Lin.
And they all know that Jiang Lin came back from the United States, and they heard that he made a lot of money. If they follow this clan brother, their lives will be much easier in the future.
Although the Jiang family is a wealthy family, in this era, most of the people can still only live a subsistence life, and there are even many people who starve to death at the end of the year.
Jiang Lin's identity made them naturally trust him. If they followed Brother Lin in the future, they might even have a career.
Looking at the ten young men who were much stronger than other tribesmen, Jiang Lin nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Brother Dong. These are the ten brothers. We will go to Shanyin with me later."
"Okay, Brother Lin, I will listen to you today."
At this time, Jiang Lin turned his attention to the carriage behind everyone.
There was a coachman standing next to the carriage, wearing coarse clothes that had been mended countless times, but what attracted Jiang Lin was the vicissitudes of his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Lin's gaze, Jiang Chengdong explained: "His name is Jiang Chengjin. He belongs to Uncle Yuequn's family. He went to Shenjiang in the early years and joined the Duan Army and fought in battles. Unfortunately, all the troops in their regiment were killed.
Cheng Jin didn't dare to go back to Duan's army, so he had to go back to the village and earn some hard money by relying on the carriage left by Uncle Yue Qun."
Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows, "You mean he can play with guns, right?"
"Of course, Cheng Jin is very good with a gun. He was promoted to be an instructor in their regiment back then."
"He is a talent." Jiang Lin secretly thought.
"Brother Dong, is there anyone in the clan who knows how to use a gun?"
Jiang Chengdong thought for a moment, then patted his thigh and said, "There are really two more. Uncle Yuehe and his son Chengshan. They are the most powerful hunters in our Jiang family."
"Let's do this, call Chengshan over. It's best to bring their hunting rifle. Today, every yard will be divided into yards. All the brothers who go to the county with me will be given two pieces of ocean each. If Chengshan brings a gun, he can take it.
Five dollars.”
"By the way, Brother Dong, you don't have a gun at home yet? If you have one, bring it over and give it to Cheng Jinshi. I'll also give him five dollars."
Originally Jiang Chengdong wanted to say something like not having to pay, but Jiang Lin kept insisting, and maybe everyone would really follow Jiang Lin in the future, so he didn't say any more and went straight home to prepare.
Take the firecracker at home and give it to Jiang Chengjin.
Jiang Chengjin looked at Jiang Lin curiously. He had never seen such a generous tribesman. Even when he was in the army, Shangguan would not be so willing to give him a few dollars.
"If this clan brother's business is really doing well, it would be a good idea to work with him."
Soon, Jiang Chengdong came over with a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. Both of them were carrying guys on their backs. They looked quite reliable.
"Brother Lin." Jiang Chengshan shyly smiled at Jiang Lin and shouted.
Jiang Lin nodded.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's set off. We have agreed in advance that this trip to the county town with me will not be in vain. Each of us will receive two dollars, and the gun will cost five dollars."
"coax..."
Everyone exclaimed, and then looked at Jiang Chengdong with excitement. After seeing Jiang Chengdong nod, everyone became even more excited.
"Brother Lin came back from the United States, so what he said must be true."
"Of course, I heard that Brother Lin has more money than all of us in Nanming Town combined."
Jiang Lin's mouth twitched and he said nothing.
...
Shanyin County is across the sea from Shenjiang City. It has a good geographical location and has been relatively prosperous since ancient times. Shenjiang was classified as a concession. After the economy became more prosperous, Shanyin also benefited a lot. The entire county looks better than Nanming Town.
But there was too much prosperity.
Returning to Shanyin County, Jiang Lin still had no time to look at the cultural scenery as always, he was just looking for the pawnshop and jade shop.
On the other hand, the constant exclamations from several people nearby gave a glimpse of the grand occasion of Shanyin.
"Brother Lin, when it comes to pawnshops in Shanyin, the first choice is the Ren family pawnshop. This is a pawnshop run by the Ren family, and it is relatively reliable."
"Ren family?" Jiang Lin asked doubtfully.
"Oh, you have just arrived and you don't know the situation yet. The Ren family is a relatively large family in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a Ren family town in the south and a Ren family town in our Shanyin area. They are both territories named Ren.
The business is quite big." Brother Jiang Chengdong explained that he came with him because he was worried about Jiang Lin, and he was scouting for Jiang Lin because he was afraid that he would suffer a loss.
When Jiang Lin heard about Renjia Town, he felt a little scared. This town should be associated with zombies.
"Okay, in that case, let's go to this pawn shop."
Although the Ren family pawnshop is said to be the Ren family's pawnshop, it actually sounds nice. Most of the profits are to be handed over to the Duan family. Duan Ruiqi, who leads the entire Jiangnan Province, is not a simple character.
Without this relationship, I'm afraid this pawn shop wouldn't be able to open.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't you know this is the Ren family's pawn shop? What do you want to do?!!"
The pawnshop owner just wanted to go out for a walk, but Jiang Lin and his men blocked him back. He looked at Jiang Lin in horror, thinking they were here to rob.
"Hey, what are you afraid of, old man? We are from the Nanmingjiang family."
A figure came out from behind Jiang Lin and said. Jiang Lin took a closer look and saw that this was not the mistress. He hadn't noticed it just now, but this guy had also followed him.
Hearing what Xiao San'er said, the shopkeeper immediately felt relieved: "It turns out to be the Jiang family. No wonder, no wonder."
"Junior Jiang Chengdong has met."
"Hahaha, Chengdong, are you okay, old man?"
"Thank you for your concern. My father is fine."
The shopkeeper looked familiar to Jiang Chengdong. He turned out to be the son of Mr. Jiang Yuehai.
"I don't know..." the shopkeeper gestured.
Jiang Lin quickly took out the jade handicrafts he had brought with him from his suitcase, including three pieces.
One is an agate lion, which looks lifelike, the other is a Hetian jade Maitreya Buddha, with a naive smile, but with a faint Buddha light, and the other is a green emerald sleeping arhat.
As soon as the three treasures were taken out, the shopkeeper immediately held them up carefully and looked at them carefully, while the others quickly guarded the door.
Brother Lin is really powerful. He brings out this priceless treasure as soon as he comes. You must follow him.
