In later generations, any item that was proven to be used by Emperor Qianlong, even if it was only a street stall-level item worth ten yuan, it could be worth ten thousand times at once, and it would be no problem to sell it for hundreds of thousands.

Of course, the items that can be used by the emperor cannot be street stalls worth ten yuan.

Adding up the two, this jade pendant, which was originally priceless, was not a problem in later generations to sell for hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was even possible to sell it at a higher price.

You should know that in later generations, an official kiln Doucai Chicken Cup from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty sold more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and a royal family flower in the Qianlong period was sold for more than 50 million pounds. What's more, this jade pendant was a rare item carried by Qianlong, and the price was far from the top two ordinary items.

Of course, with Xu Yang's current wealth, he naturally would not use this jade pendant to auction. Moreover, the jade pendant is of new quality, and no one believes that it would be an object from more than two hundred years ago.

However, Qianlong's reward is really not small.

Xu Yang thanked Qianlong again, and Qianlong's smile was also a little strange. He avoided others and asked softly: "Did you really thank me if you see this jade is good?"

Xu Yang also muttered softly: "If the emperor is stingy, who will save him next time?"

Qianlong liked Xu Yang to tell the truth. Not only was he not annoyed, but he was happy: "I think you are a friend. When I talk to me in the future, I must tell the truth, otherwise I will not forgive you."

"What the emperor wants the villain to say, what the villain will definitely say... It's just that the truth is not nice." Xu Yang's second half of the sentence was inauspicious. Qianlong was so close that he couldn't hear it clearly. He only heard the first half, and thought he agreed and was even more happy.

Although this private visit was quite shocked, he met a friend who was willing to tell the truth. Qianlong was very relieved and only ordered Bai Zhen to find out the origin of the assassin, and did not punish anyone else for his crime.

If we really need to investigate strictly, not only will Bai Zhen and the three guards be in trouble, but even the Nine Gate Admirals responsible for maintaining the public order of the imperial capital will not be able to get it.

Bai Zhen and others naturally knew the principle of accompanying the king as if they were with a tiger. Although the assassin made a sudden move this time and had no time to react, if Xu Yang had not rescued the lord in time, he would have been pleased by the emperor, he would have to lose a layer of skin.

He silently accepted Xu Yang's favor in his heart, and even hated the two assassins who came from nowhere.

Only Bai Zhen was confused. If he was assassinating the emperor, why was the short beggar who attacked the emperor not sharply skilled, but the tall beggar who dealt with Xu Yang, and his martial arts skills were excellent.

However, these are all speculations, not evidence, and they are not helpful to the entire incident. No matter what, alarming the Holy Divine is a death sentence, so Bai Zhen no longer mentioned it.

Xu Yang respectfully accompanied Qianlong and talked with him all the way. His words were humorous, which made Qianlong happy again and almost wanted to give him something to Xu Yang. However, Xu Yang politely declined considering that the jade pendant he just rewarded was too expensive.

It was not until Xu Yang sent Qianlong into the palace that he returned home.

When he was alone, Xu Yang's face slowly became gloomy.

It seems that the most urgent thing to deal with is the Beggars' Sect.

Tonight's two beggars, whether they had a temporary intention or had been planning for a long time, can prove one thing.

It's not been a day or two that the Beggars' Sect wants to deal with him.

However, in the assassination tonight, Xu Yang was more inclined to have these two beggars who had a murderous intention toward him temporarily, otherwise the entire layout would not be so messy, and it would be impossible for two people to take action.

Even if the killing of Tian Guinong was concealed by the guards, he was concealed from it at all levels with his intentional or unintentional hints, and he was not aware of it in the world. But at least, the deeds of killing the four heroes in southern Yunnan have long been known to everyone in the world. If the leader of the Beggars' Sect wanted to act, he would definitely arrange masters first and would not only send these two guys to attack.

If there is no meticulous arrangement, it is no different from giving away a head.

What's more, in such a sensitive position in the imperial capital, he didn't even do the most basic investigation and involved Qianlong, which was to commit suicide.

It's already night, and the Nine Gate is closed early. Even if the assassination succeeds by chance, will the assassination still have the possibility of escaping?

Even his identity is not concealed. The Beggars' Sect is not favored by the court. Regardless of whether this action is successful or not, it will bring a catastrophe to the Beggars' Sect.

Except for the timing that really did have a good grasp of this assassination, even Xu Yang felt very surprised, and all other operations were almost useless.

First, it attracted the attention of the palace. It seemed that the Beggars' Gang would suffer in the next few months.

Then there was also a problem with the personnel arrangement. The tall beggar who assassinated him was just a second-rate master of the four masters in western Yunnan. The short beggar who was responsible for blocking Qianlong and others, and was even less than the second-rate level. Although he did not fight directly, Xu Yang could see that the beggar was extremely ordinary.

However, the poison applied to the two daggers was a bit terrible. Afterwards, Xu Yang had quietly identified it. Even the intermediate identification technique only determined that it was a "dagger applied with deadly poison". Even the ingredients of the poison could not be analyzed at all. It was said that the level was too high and it could not be successfully identified.

Therefore, even a rather failed assassination operation still poses a certain threat to Xu Yang's life.

Although Xu Yang is now strong in martial arts, he may not be able to be completely harmless in the face of sneak attacks from second-rate masters.

If Gangmaster Fan came to assassinate this time with this dagger with a fatal poison applied, Xu Yang would not be sure that he would not be injured.

Originally, the martial arts of the leader of the Fan Gang were no less than Tian Guinong, and he had been hiding in the dark. Even himself, who had always been careful, almost forgot the existence of the reckless master in the original work.

It seems that no character or force can be underestimated by relying on impressions.

The court's actions against the Beggars' Sect will probably start tomorrow. If Bai Zhen acted quickly, it would even be launched before dawn.

I'm afraid even the Beggars' Sect didn't expect that their arrangements were just for themselves, but they would face a situation of subversion.

Is this considered your luck?

However, people cannot survive by luck. Xu Yang decided to investigate before the court dealt with the Beggars' Gang's actions.

Just so happens that no matter what accidents occur during the investigation, or whoever they kill during the investigation, they can be pushed into the court's actions and will not attract attention.

A sneer gradually appeared on Xu Yang's face, and he himself never noticed it.

It was already late at night. On March 17, the 18th year of Qianlong, the imperial capital was covered with clouds and under the dark night of the moonlight, a game of hunters and trapped beasts was slowly unfolding.
