Chapter 389 That's my jewelry
"Ma'am, these people have been bewitched!"
Shen Mingjiao folded the confession, without raising her head, said: "I know this! I heard these people say, what is it called a slave?"
The witch doctor gritted his teeth and said: "This Gu technique is almost lost. It was first used by the clan to interrogate prisoners, but I don't want it to be used for such a purpose!"
Shen Mingjiao shrugged: "What's the use of saying this now? Since the other party can do so many things, is it possible that he still expects to be a good person!
Besides this, do you see anything else? "
Wu Taiyi frowned: "It's very strange, this Gu is not an advanced Gu technique, but it is the same as the previous love Gu."
Shen Mingjiao turned her head. He raised his eyebrows and said: "You mean, the effect of this slave Gu has been strengthened!
In short, if it's not that her Gu skills are stronger than all of you, then it has something to do with those strange stones. "
…
On the way back, Shen Mingjiao passed by a jewelry shop, Shen Mingjiao didn't care at all, after all, she wasn't in the capital right now, and she didn't have time to go shopping.
At this moment, Fu Guang tugged at her sleeve, pointing to a notice posted on the door of the store.
Shen Mingjiao followed her line of sight, and couldn't help but stare.
The notice said that their store had diamond jewelry that is now highly sought after in the capital.
As we all know, diamond jewelry is only sold in their Meimei Pavilion, and because of the complicated cutting process, the finished products are limited, and most of them are booked in advance.
Most people who can afford diamond jewelry are either rich or expensive, and these people should not bother to resell them
While thinking, Shen Mingjiao had stepped into the store, and waved for Doctor Wu and others to go back first.
Perhaps because of such a gimmick, the business of this store is quite good.
When the female shopkeeper saw the man's clothes, she immediately greeted him with a smile on her face:
"I don't know what this lady wants to buy? Our store has just arrived with a batch of the latest jewelry."
Shen Mingjiao smiled politely, and asked directly: "I heard that your store sells diamond jewelry?"
The shopkeeper smiled more sincerely when he heard the words, but his tone of voice was hesitant: "Yes, there is, but at this price..."
Shen Mingjiao raised her chin, "The price is easy to negotiate, please show us the jewelry first." The tone was not bad for the money.
The shopkeeper hurriedly led the people up to the second floor. Like the larger jewelry shops nowadays, the valuable and valuable commodities are all placed on the second floor.
Shen Mingjiao's eyes stayed on the two sets of heads placed in the most eye-catching places, one was inlaid with crystal-colored diamonds, and the other was blue, but one earring was missing.
The earring that was missing was exactly the one that Feng Lisheng found that day in the Qishan bandit den.
Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze, and asked calmly: "I heard that this diamond is only sold in the Beautiful Pavilion in the capital. Where can you get it from your store?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled and explained: "Ma'am, don't get me wrong, this jewelry was pawned by a merchant a day ago." It means that this is a serious business.
Shen Mingjiao: "Does the shopkeeper know where the merchant is now?" She said proudly: "As long as the shopkeeper can find the merchant again, I will pay double the price for these two sets of jewelry."
Hearing the words, the shopkeeper couldn't help showing some respect on his face. Without him, Xianyang County is thousands of miles away from the capital. Except for those who specialize in jewelry business like them, no one knows the existence of diamonds, let alone how expensive the capital is. The extent to which women's circles have pursued diamonds.
She became more and more sure that Shen Mingjiao and the others had extraordinary backgrounds, and she was looking for that merchant to buy more diamond jewelry.
The shopkeeper tactfully persuaded: "It's not difficult to find the merchant, but... According to the little lady, this diamond jewelry is precious, and the merchant probably got it by accident."
Shen Mingjiao waved her hands indifferently: "It's okay, the shopkeeper just needs to help find someone."
Seeing this, the shopkeeper stopped persuading him, after all, whoever opens the door to do business will be troubled by money.
At this time, a woman wearing a veil came to the store. The woman was supported by two maids, followed by a large group of servants, which was quite pompous.
Where the group of people passed by, there was a whisper behind them. Most of them are saying that this woman is not a serious person at first sight, and that Jomo is a concubine raised by a certain adult.
The woman walked slowly to the second floor, staring at the diamond hairpin Shen Mingjiao held in her hand, walked over a few steps, and said sharply: "Wrap this hairdo for me."
"I'm sorry, this set of jewelry was the first that the lady fell in love with. Why don't you look at other items, we have just arrived in our store with a lot of new models..."
The woman interrupted her impatiently: "How much money she paid, I will double it!"
After saying that, she took a few steps closer to Shen Mingjiao, raised her chin and said impatiently:
"May I ask you something? This hairpin belongs to me, put it down quickly."
The two maids who supported the woman tightened their wrists, and softly persuaded: "Madam, it's getting late, I'm afraid the master will be late when I go back..."
No one at the scene thought there was anything wrong with these words, but felt that this woman was too arrogant.
Shen Mingjiao finally turned her head when she heard the words, glanced at the woman's veiled face, and said calmly: "Madam, have I offended you before?"
The woman seemed to feel offended, and immediately grabbed the hairpin in Shen Mingjiao's hand: "Give it back to me, it's mine."
There was a burst of exclamation in the store, no one expected that the woman would attack directly, but the two maids following the woman were the first to react,
The two pulled the woman over and coaxed her in a low voice: "Ma'am, it's time for us to go back!" As they spoke, they half-drag the woman towards the stairs.
The woman struggled desperately: "Let go of me, that's my jewelry..."
Shen Mingjiao pinched the extra piece of paper in her hand, and directly ordered Ming behind her: "Catch him back to me."
Although Shen Mingjiao made a disguise, her demeanor and temperament were there, making it obvious at a glance that she was not an ordinary person. Everyone only thought that she was going to teach this girl a lesson, and they were all happy to watch the show.
Seeing this, the two maids dragged the woman down the stairs a few times, and deftly walked around the guests in the lobby and headed out of the store.
But naturally they couldn't be Ming's opponents. As soon as they left the store and were about to get into the carriage, the two felt their arms go numb.
The woman seized the opportunity to break free from the restraints and ran forward desperately.
At this moment, Shen Mingjiao walked out of the store slowly. The woman saw her, turned back, and grabbed Shen Mingjiao's sleeve:
"Wang...Princess...help me."
At first, the seven or eight servants who were following the woman also reacted, and rushed over and raised their hands to grab the woman. The two guards left by Shen Mingjiao also joined in, and the scene became chaotic.
The shopkeeper and others finally realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked the shop assistants to report to the authorities.
The woman was frightened, and she grabbed Shen Mingjiao's sleeve and walked to the side alley.
Shen Mingjiao let her drag her until the noisy voice in her ears went away a little, the woman let out a sigh of relief, raised her hand to take off her veil, and knelt down with a plop:
"Princess...do you remember me? I..."
Shen Mingjiao hurriedly helped him up, "Jianing, why are you here?"
This woman is exactly what Shen Mingjiao mentioned when she was in Qishan, the owner of the earring is the youngest daughter of Princess Yong'an, the princess of Jianing County.
The county magistrate of Jianing wiped away his tears: "I had a quarrel with my mother, and for a moment I took the guards and planned to go to Shu to find my brother, but unexpectedly, I encountered robbers on the way, and all the guards with me were killed. I... I was taken into prison. Mountain…"
This is similar to their previous guess. Shen Mingjiao asked: "Then how did you come out?"
"I... three months ago, those bandits all left the mountain and came to... cough cough..."
The head of Jianing county didn't look well, and before saying a few words, he clutched his chest and coughed.
Shen Mingjiao was hearing the key point, couldn't help but leaned closer, and raised her hand to gently pat her back:
"Don't worry, let's go back first..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw the woman with her head bowed suddenly raised her hand, and quickly covered Shen Mingjiao's mouth with the drugged veil in her hand. There was a weird sneer on his face.
However, the next moment, her smile froze at the corner of her mouth, and just when the veil was about to touch Shen Mingjiao's cheek, her arm was suddenly grabbed.
Immediately afterwards, the floating light, which had never had a sense of existence, silently flashed in front of the eyes, and quickly clasped the woman's hands.
The woman raised her head in disbelief, glared at Shen Mingjiao, and blurted out, "How did you find out?"
