In the small building in Zhuangzi, there is a room on the second floor near the north. The sunlight at noon passes through the window and falls into the room.

The sinister-looking Zhang was sitting on a stool near the window. Directly opposite him, Zhuang Lin sat coldly.

The door of the room was locked, and the whole room was very quiet. Apart from the sound of breathing, you could even hear the pounding heartbeat of Bade Zhang.

"Tell me everything you know." After a brief silence, Zhuang Lin was the first to break the silence of the room. He stared at Wicked Zhang with his cold eyes and said in a tone that could not be criticized.

At this time, Wicked Zhang was sitting on the stool tremblingly. His body, which was all flesh, was trembling because of fear.

"I……"

"Don't try to play tricks on me. Tell me the ugly things first. If I find out that you are cheating on me, then I will lock you up with ten vicious dogs with green eyes because of hunger." As soon as the wicked Zhang was about to speak, he was interrupted.

Zhuang Lin interrupted.

Hearing Zhuang Lin's words, Wicked Zhang's face showed a look of fear, his whole body shuddered, and he almost sat down on the ground.

"You can say it now." Zhuang Lin continued.

"I...I..." Bade Zhang was obviously frightened, and he was a little confused. When he spoke, he was a little incoherent.

"You can rest assured that you are telling the truth and have no reservations. Not only will I spare your life, but I will also give you a large amount of money, which will be enough for you to enjoy for the rest of your life." Seeing Zhang's fear, Zhuang

Lin opened his mouth and said.

He could also see that the fat guy in front of him was a man who loved money. Simply intimidating him might not be as easy as tempting him with money.

Hearing that he could get a large amount of money, Wicked Zhang raised his head fiercely, and his originally frightened face showed a hint of greed.

"I said, I said..." In order to save his own life, and also to get the large sum of money promised by Zhuang Lin, the wicked Zhang nodded repeatedly and said.

"Actually, I don't know the exact whereabouts of Emperor Ming's sword. It's just that last year, a sloppy old man came to my shop."

"At that time, I thought he was a beggar, so I wanted to give him some money and send him away quickly, but this old man not only didn't ask for my money, he even scolded me."

Having said this, Bade Zhang paused for a moment, looking at Zhuang Lin with his small eyes, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Can I...can I have a cigarette?"

Seeing him like that, Zhuang Lin couldn't help laughing, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and threw it to him along with the lighter.

Bade Zhang took the cigarette, took one out, put it in his mouth, lit it with a lighter, took several puffs, closed his eyes, and looked like he was enjoying it.

After taking several puffs in succession, all that was left of the cigarette was a cigarette butt. He then dropped the cigarette butt at his feet and crushed it out.

"I gave him money with good intentions, but he scolded me. I was so angry that I wanted to find someone to kick him out. But as soon as I picked up the phone, the old man took control of me."

"The old man looked skinny, but his hands were so strong that I couldn't move. At that time, I was frightened and thought what the old man was going to do to me, but I didn't expect that when I was quiet,

After we got down, he actually let me go."

"After he let me go, he didn't threaten me. He just asked me for food. I was scared and couldn't fight him, so I had to go and get him some food."

"He seemed to be starving. He ate all five steamed buns and three-quarters of bread in just over a minute. Really, I have never seen anyone who eats like that."

"After he was full, he did not leave. Instead, he walked around my store. Finally, he took out a palm-sized jade plate from his clothes."

Zhuang Lin sat there, listening to what Wicked Zhang was talking about. When he said that the old man took out the jade plate, his whole body became energetic.

I'm afraid that the key to the whole matter lies on this jade plate, and it may even be possible that the clues to finding Emperor Ming's sword are in this jade plate.

"Go on."

"When he took out the jade plate, his expression was very serious, as if he was holding a sacred object in his hand."

"Although I am a deceitful person, I still have some skills in antique calligraphy and painting. It can be seen at first glance that the jade plate is not an ordinary product. The style and specifications, as well as the runes on it, are consistent with the ancient Loulan jade.

Engraved similar."

"I was very moved when I saw the jade plate, but I was also afraid of the old man, so naturally I didn't dare to have any bad thoughts. At that time, I just hoped that he would leave soon."

"But who would have thought that this strange old man would actually put the jade plate on the table in my shop, and then tell me that this jade plate was given to me."

"At that time, I heard him say that he wanted to give me the jade plate. I didn't believe it. But before I could react, he turned around and left. Before leaving, he left a message, that there was something in the jade plate.

Looking for clues about Emperor Ming’s sword.”

After saying this, Bade Zhang calmed down and looked at Zhuang Lin with his small eyes.

"Where is the jade plate now?" Zhuang Lin looked at him seriously and asked.

After listening to what Wicked Zhang said, he was basically sure that this guy didn't lie to him. Now he was worried about whether this guy would sell the jade plate.

"At that time, after I learned that the jade plate was related to the sword of Emperor Ming, I hid it. The place where I hid it was under the third brick on the left side of the back room in my shop." Chede Zhang Ye

Without any further concealment, he answered directly.

"Zhuang Chun, manor, come in." Zhuang Lin stood up suddenly, turned and shouted towards the door.

Zhuang Chunhe Manor, who had been guarding the door, opened the door and walked in.

"You two go to Wangfu Hutong again. In his shop, under the third block on the left side of the back room, there is a jade plate. When you find it, bring it back immediately." Zhuang Lin instructed.

"Remember, after you get the jade plate, don't delay and come back immediately." After saying that, he was still a little worried and warned again.

"knew."

After Zhuang Chun and Manor responded, they left the room together.

"Relax, as long as I see the jade plate in your mouth, I will leave to fulfill my promise." After Zhuang Chun and the two left, Zhuang Lin sat back in his seat again and looked at the nervous Wicked opposite him.

Zhang said slowly.

After he finished speaking, he never said anything else. In fact, at this time, he was hesitating in his heart whether to completely erase the black shop owner in front of him.

Emperor Ming's royal sword is too precious. Once the news spreads, even those monks will be moved.

As the saying goes, it is a crime to possess a jade. He did not want to attract the siege of many monks because of a jade plate.

However, he himself is not the kind of murderous person. Now that the other party has told him completely, it would be too cruel and cold-blooded to take his life again.

"You...are you going to kill people and silence them?" Wicked Zhang is not an idiot. He is also worried that Zhuang Lin will kill people and silence him.

"You can rest assured about this. Since I have promised you, I will not break the contract. However, you must leave China. As for where to go, I will tell you when the time comes." Zhuang Lin shook his head and said.

"Of course, before you leave China, I will give you a large amount of money, enough for you to spend the rest of your life abroad." He then added.
