Chapter 14
After everyone dispersed, Lu Wan seemed to have survived a disaster. Both physically and mentally exhausted, he leaned on the soft pillow and used orchid grass to apply medicine to his hands.
Lancao recalled the thrill just now, and said fearfully: "Miss, fortunately King Yi still has some conscience, and finally came to help..."
Lu Wan sneered coldly in her heart, he didn't have any conscience, he just wanted to make a clean break with her, that's why he took action.
Now that the maid's matter is over, she has nothing to do with him anymore.
Thinking of this, Lu Wan couldn't help but feel much relieved. Seeing Lan Ying closing the door and coming in, he asked her: "What's happening in Qingxingyuan these days?"
Lan Ying had been sent to keep an eye on Shen Yuan. When she suddenly returned, Lu Wan guessed that something had happened to her.
Unexpectedly, Lanying shook her head, leaned down and said in her ear: "I found the thing that the lady asked me to look for earlier. My cousin said that it is in their shop, and it has been agreed that tomorrow afternoon at noon Please ask the lady to come and inspect the goods."
Lu Wan never expected that things would go so smoothly. He couldn't help but smile and praise: "Your cousin is really capable. Tell him that I will definitely go tomorrow."
Early the next morning, Li Rui sent someone to deliver a lot of fabrics to Lu Wan. Lu Wan ordered the orchid grass to be collected. Then, on the pretext of buying embroidery thread, he and Ye took leave and took Lan Ying with him in the afternoon. Lancao went out and headed to Zhuque Street.
First, he went to the embroidery thread shop. Lu Wan left the orchid grass in the shop and quietly took Lan Ying out from the back door of the shop to Linglong Pavilion across the street.
In the last life, the reason why Li Rui was able to successfully ascend to the throne of God was that, apart from the support of the Lu family in the court, another very important point was that he obtained the Da Jin secretly made by Deng Gao, the former salt and iron transfer envoy, when Emperor Taizu was still alive. Iron ore map.
This iron ore map covers the distribution of all iron ore deposits in the Jin Dynasty. When Emperor Taizu passed away, Deng Gao had not yet fully explored and produced the entire map. When it was in the hands of the late emperor, the Deng family was confiscated and exiled. This map He lived among the people, and somehow ended up falling into the hands of Li Rui.
With this, he hoarded weapons, frightened the kings, and obtained a large amount of wealth and support from neighboring countries by selling pig iron, and finally successfully reached the top.
After his rebirth, Lu Wan had a clear goal: to prevent Li Rui from reaching the top, one was to destroy his alliance with the Lu family, and the other was to cut off his source of money...
While Lu Wan sent Lanying to keep an eye on Shen Yuan, she also asked her to send people to find the iron ore map. She wanted to intercept it before Li Rui.
Lan Ying's cousin worked as a clerk in Linglong Pavilion. Lan Ying sent him to inquire about it. Unexpectedly, this picture was actually stored in Linglong Pavilion...
The master and servant came to the back door. Before Lan Ying could step forward to knock on the door, the back door was already open. Lan Ying's cousin Wu Ji walked out and said with a guilty look on his face: "Second Miss, cousin... I'm really sorry. I came suddenly in the afternoon." We have reserved the venue for distinguished guests, and now Linglong Pavilion is not allowed to receive other people..."
Lu Wan came full of joy, but came to nothing, feeling really unwilling.
Moreover, she was afraid that Li Rui would get it before her - she wouldn't feel at peace if she didn't get the iron ore map for a day.
Looking at Linglong Pavilion with its doors and windows closed, Lu Wan said to Wu Ji: "Cousin Wu, it's not easy for me to go out. Since I came from the back door, let's go in quietly. As soon as I inspect the goods, I will pay and leave immediately. The delay won't be too long, and it won't disturb the distinguished guests. What do you think?"
Lan Ying also tried to persuade her: "Cousin, please help me, please do as you please."
Wu Ji found it difficult to raise his head, and finally said helplessly: "In that case, please ask the second lady to come with me."
After that, he stepped aside to let Lu Wan pass, leaving Lan Ying to guard the back door.
The huge Linglong Pavilion used to have an endless stream of people coming and going, but today the door was closed and it was so deserted that no one could be seen.
Wu Ji led Lu Wan through the lobby carefully and came to a small side hall. After asking her to sit down, he ran into the warehouse to get the goods.
After a while, Wu Ji came out holding a half-sized box, which was covered with dust.
Lu Wan wiped it randomly with a piece of silk, then opened the lid of the box, revealing all the sapphire stones inside. After a brief inspection, there were hundreds of them.
Some of the jade blocks are blank, some are engraved with patterns, and some are with flowers and birds. The carving skills are mediocre, and the color of the jade is of inferior material. There is nothing outstanding about it. No wonder it is gathering dust in the warehouse.
Lu Wan's eyes were shining brightly, and with just one glance, she concluded that this was what she was looking for.
She suppressed her excitement and asked Wu Ji: "What price do you sell these things for?"
Wu Jichi asked: "This pile of stones is used as a backing stone in the warehouse. Does the second lady really want it?"
"I want……"
"I want it!"
