Chapter 158 Maybe It’s Missing You.
Zhao Dafu came to Qin Ming.
But before he could greet Qin Ming, his eyes had already landed on the table in front of Qin Ming.
That was an unforgettable scene for him!
The mahogany table was piled with rare treasures!
What is this? A fist-sized night pearl!
Oh my god, this must be worth thousands of taels of gold?
What is that? A lifelike jade? !
It looks like a masterpiece by a famous artist, so it must be worth at least a few hundred taels of gold, right?
And that, a sword inlaid with gems!
If this is presented to His Majesty or any prince, it will be a lot of money!
Zhao Dafu's eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.
No, His Highness the Sixth Prince is still here!
He tried his best to come back to his senses, and his fat face was full of smiles.
"Sixth Prince, where did you get all these treasures?"
As his eyes moved down, Zhao Dafu's eyes were wide open, and his eyes were full of golden light.
I saw that under the table, there were boxes of gold lying quietly!
The amount was more than a thousand taels!
Zhao Dafu had never seen so much money at once!
He was so tempted that his eyes turned green and his mouth was watering.
Isn't this too tempting?
"Hiss!"
Zhao Dafu covered his stomach and took a breath.
He looked at Qin Ming aggrievedly.
Qin Ming glanced at him, "Are you back to your senses?"
Pei Zhi on the side withdrew his hand.
Qin Ming raised his chin and gestured, "Zhao Dafu, you are a businessman, you should know the value of the things on this table better, right?"
Zhao Dafu nodded, "Of course..."
That's no problem.
Qin Ming nodded, "Then I'll take care of these for you."
"Is there a problem?"
Zhao Dafu's expression seemed to be sluggish.
He pointed at himself stupidly.
"Your Highness... Me, me?"
Qin Ming frowned and said, "Nonsense."
Zhao Dafu stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.
"I am a humble commoner... I am so worthy... I have no way to repay your kindness..."
"Stop!"
Qin Ming shouted.
"Are there any questions?"
Zhao Dafu shook his head like a rattle.
"That's fine."
Qin Ming made a few simple sentences and casually decided the outcome of the rare treasures on the table.
Zhao Dafu looked at Qin Ming with a complicated look.
This table of treasures is priceless!
It's not an exaggeration to say that the Sixth Prince handed it to him so casually?
So the Sixth Prince trusted him so much?
A warm current surged through Zhao Dafu's heart.
He was just a branch manager of a third-rate chamber of commerce. He was lucky to be able to climb up the Sixth Prince's high branch with great difficulty!
Unexpectedly, he could still be valued by the Sixth Prince!
Just a few trades have earned more money than he could ever earn in his entire life!
Now the Sixth Prince's trust has made him so excited that he is at a loss.
When he came to his senses, he nodded vigorously, "Your Highness, the Sixth Prince, I will not let you down!"
After Zhao Dafu left excitedly, Pei Zhi on the side stared at his back.
"Your Highness, can you trust Zhao Dafu?"
"It's not that Pei Zhi doesn't want to trust him, but these things... are worth thousands of gold, and he's just a small businessman... What if he forgets his principles and runs away with the money?"
Pei Zhi whispered to Qin Ming.
Such worries only earned Qin Ming's chuckle.
Qin Ming had already thought about such concerns.
He had already figured it out.
The previous trades were Qin Ming's tests of Zhao Dafu.
The results of the test made Qin Ming very satisfied.
This Zhao Dafu is a qualified businessman and a smart man.
Qin Ming slowly said, "He won't."
"The value of these things is very high, and it is a wealth that countless people can't reach in their lifetime."
"But Zhao Dafu knows better in his heart who is more valuable!"
"Throwing away the watermelon and picking up sesame seeds is a choice that only a fool would make. He only needs to follow me and offer his loyalty, and he will have far more wealth than today!"
Qin Ming's tone was indifferent, which made Pei Zhi, the listener, feel a chill in his heart.
But Pei Zhi still didn't believe it.
"Your Highness, since ancient times, merchants have valued profit. What if, I mean, what if this guy really ran away with the money?"
Before he finished speaking, he had already felt a sharp gaze.
Qin Ming looked at him calmly, "Pei Zhi, by then, you should know what to do, right?"
This gaze was unusually calm, but it made Pei Zhi subconsciously lower his head, his voice trembling.
"Pei Zhi... understand."
How could he not understand?
As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger!
Even if you make a mistake, you may be severely punished.
Not to mention betrayal!
Once betrayed, the fate is doomed!
Death!
Pei Zhi often accompanies Qin Ming, and knows that this is definitely not a joke from Qin Ming!
Although the Sixth Prince is usually kind, Pei Zhi has understood since the battle of Black Wind Village that day.
Under this kind skin, there is a cold and ruthless executioner!
Pei Zhi can't imagine that the lives of tens of thousands of people can't make Qin Ming hesitate at all.
Even he feels shocked every time he thinks about it.
Black Wind Village was slaughtered by the Sixth Prince's order?
Who can give such a truly kind order to massacre?
But His Highness the Sixth Prince was not wrong.
He considered the people of Jinsha City and the soldiers under his command.
He was not wrong!
The ones who were wrong were the bandits of Heifeng Village!
Pei Zhi closed his eyes tightly, his chest rising and falling.
When he opened his eyes again, his eyes had calmed down a little.
His Highness may not be a kind person.
The playful sounds of the children in Jinsha City broke into his ears, and Pei Zhi clenched his teeth, his eyes were complicated and firm.
But His Highness is definitely not a bloodthirsty person!
"Pei Zhi, swear to follow His Highness to death!"
Pei Zhi knelt on one knee, his words sonorous and powerful.
Qin Ming smiled and gently pulled Pei Zhi up, "It was just a casual mention, Pei Zhi doesn't need to care."
"Have all the people who sent gifts left? The banquet is still going on, go and see the people in the city."
Pei Zhi nodded vigorously.
He followed Qin Ming and walked through the streets.
Unlike the banquet specially built near Qin Ming's residence, the streets were more simple.
There was only one wide place, and the carpenters worked together to build a stage.
Several large curtains were pulled on the stage, and several people sat on the stage, playing Lingnan-style music.
There were many spectators under the stage, and it was noisy and lively.
Everyone took advantage of today to vent their joy.
Children walked around the stage and shuttled among the crowd, like fish in water.
Qin Ming stopped here and looked from afar, with a lingering sadness in his eyes.
Jinsha City was very lively, but the liveliness belonged to them.
Looking at Qin Ming at this time, Pei Zhi's eyes were a little confused.
He didn't know Qin Ming's secret, but he could understand Qin Ming at this time.
It was just like when he led two thousand Great Yan troops and was surrounded by 20,000 enemy troops for several days.
The comrades sitting by the fire talked about their old age at home, and the expression on their faces was printed with the firelight.
Maybe it was missing.
