The War God Uncle's Delicate Wife

Chapter 124 The Jade Pendant Appears

Seeing the sincerity and trust in Jiang Bu's eyes, Xiao Shuanzi nodded vigorously and agreed. Jiang Bu took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Shuanzi, which was the fee he had prepared.

"Take this money for yourself first. If it's not enough, you can ask Manager Liu for more." Jiang Bu said with a smile.

Xiao Shuanzi looked at the silver in Jiang Bu's hand. He had never seen so much silver in his life. He was so scared that he waved his hands and said, "Sir, no need. We are just helping to find out."

Jiang Bu knew that Xiao Shuanzi and his men were really helping, but he also knew that it would take a lot of manpower to get the news, and sometimes money would definitely be needed. So he stuffed the silver directly into Xiao Shuanzi's hand and said firmly: "Take it, this is also a little gift from me. It will definitely take a lot of manpower to help me get the news, and sometimes money will definitely be needed. So you don't have to save money, as long as you can get the news."

Xiao Shuanzi hesitated for a moment, but finally accepted the silver and promised to do his best to help Jiang Bu find his family.

Jiang Bu patted Xiao Shuanzi's shoulder gratefully. He was very anxious and wanted to find his elder brother as soon as possible. Time was running out and every moment seemed particularly precious.

"Wait for me for a moment. I'll go draw a portrait of my elder brother." Then he went upstairs to draw a portrait of Jiang Xing and came back downstairs to give it to Xiao Shuanzi.

"Remember, you must investigate in secret. Take a look at this portrait. Be sure to be safe." Jiang Bu only let Xiao Shuanzi take a look at Jiang Xing's portrait. He didn't dare to take the risk of giving him the portrait. It was dangerous for his elder brother to be in danger. If the other party knew that his elder brother was still alive or somewhere, it might be even more dangerous. Therefore, he could only let Xiao Shuanzi take a look and remember his elder brother's appearance.

Xiao Shuanzi took the portrait, looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will be careful."

Jiang Bu gave Xiao Shuanzi a few more instructions before letting him leave. Watching Xiao Shuanzi's departing figure, Jiang Bu was filled with worry and uneasiness. He didn't know if what he was doing was right, but in order to find his elder brother, he was willing to take the risk.

On the afternoon of the third day, Shuanzi appeared at the door of Liweilou, but Jiang Bu had not returned yet. As soon as Manager Liu saw him, he hurried out to greet him.

"Xiao Shuanzi, you're here. How is it?" Shopkeeper Liu asked him anxiously.

"Yes. There is some news, but I don't know if it is what the young master wants." Xiao Shuanzi nodded. He looked inside and didn't see the young master. He sat on the stone at the door with some disappointment.

Manager Liu knew at a glance that he wanted to find the boss, so he quickly ordered the waiter to go find the boss. When Jiang Bu received the news, he immediately rode back in full speed, accompanied by the brothers Yuanchu and Yuanbao. Yuanchu had rested for two days since the first day when Jiang Bu sent him back, and then he continued to look for people.

Seeing this, Manager Liu thought that he should be cautious and stopped letting Xiao Shuanzi wait outside. He led Xiao Shuanzi into Jiang Bu's room and even gave him some food. This sudden courtesy made Xiao Shuanzi panic. He didn't dare to move in the room for fear of making any mistakes.

When Jiang Bu came back, Manager Liu immediately told him that Xiao Shuanzi was waiting upstairs. Jiang Bu agreed with Manager Liu's arrangement.

After entering the room, Jiang Bu couldn't wait to ask, "What's the situation? Is there any news?" As soon as he said this, Jiang Bu and Yuan Chu's eyes fell on Xiao Shuanzi, making Xiao Shuanzi more nervous. Yuan Bao could tell at a glance that Xiao Shuanzi was scared, because his young master's expression was indeed a little scary at this time.

"Young master, please sit down and have a rest first. Brother Xiao Shuanzi, don't be anxious, talk slowly." After Yuan Bao finished speaking, Jiang Bu realized that he was too impatient.

"Yes, yes, yes, please take your time." Jiang Bu then sat down and drank a cup of tea, and also poured a cup of tea for Xiao Shuanzi.

"Sir, I don't know if this is useful. We heard a piece of news that an old man suddenly had a big meal in the restaurant today and bought a lot of things!"

"What's this?" Yuanbao asked

"But the old man is usually very stingy, and his family is very poor. Later we found out that he picked up a jade pendant by the river in the eastern suburbs of the city a few days ago and pawned it for 80 taels!"

Yuanbao wanted to refute something after hearing this, but Jiang Bu gave him a sidelong glance, and he immediately shut up and dared not say another word.

"Is there anything unusual about that jade pendant?" Jiang Bu asked.

"Brother Xiaocheng at the door of the pawnshop said that it was a white jade pendant with a word engraved on it. I don't know what the word was, but I think it is very similar to the one on your waist, sir." Xiao Shuanzi pointed to the white jade pendant with the word "Bo" engraved on it on Jiang Bu's waist.

Jiang Bu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Which pawnshop?"

"Ruyi Pawnshop."

"Thank you, little brother. I'll go to the pawnshop to check now." Jiang Bu said as he prepared to get up and leave.

"Sir, I'm returning your silver to you." Xiao Shuanzi took out the fifty taels and put them on the table.

"No, just take it and continue to explore. If I give it to you, it's yours. By the way, I'll give you the silver, brother. They helped me and I have to thank them, but I don't know them, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Jiang Bu left after he finished speaking, leaving Xiao Shuanzi with a confused look on his face. He picked up the silver and hurried to chase after him, but Jiang Bu ran too fast and he couldn't catch up at all. He went to find Manager Liu again, who also advised him to give the silver to those who helped to find out the news. In the end, Xiao Shuanzi took the silver and left, and asked their friends to continue to help find out.

Jiang Bu rushed to the door of Ruyi Pawnshop without stopping, jumped off his horse and ran straight into the shop. He found the shopkeeper and told him his purpose, that he wanted to redeem the jade pendant that he had pawned before. However, the shopkeeper knew very well how precious the jade pendant was and how priceless it was, so he naturally refused to let it go easily.

Jiang Bu was extremely anxious, but he had no idea what to do. At this time, Yuan Bao stepped forward, took out a token from the government office, handed it to the shopkeeper, and explained to him: "We are not here to cause trouble, but this jade pendant is too dangerous. If it is not taken away as soon as possible, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

The shopkeeper took the token and looked at it, his face suddenly changed. He realized that the two people in front of him were not ordinary people, so he didn't dare to continue to entangle with them. In desperation, the shopkeeper had to take out the jade pendant and give it to Jiang Bu.

Jiang Bo recognized the jade pendant at a glance, because it had the word "行" engraved in the middle, which was exactly what his elder brother had. He held the jade pendant tightly, his heart full of hope and expectation.

They asked the shopkeeper to take out the bill and take a look at it. They found out where the old man lived and told him to keep it secret. How could the shopkeeper not know the seriousness of the matter after seeing Yuanbao's Huizhou government token? He repeatedly promised to keep it secret. In the end, Jiang Bu still left a silver note of 100 taels, which made the shopkeeper very happy. He thought he would lose money.
