Chapter 1252 The money can make a ghost run the mill

Ah Piao's mind was already filled with white silver coins.

However, the instinct to make money still reminded him to be calm and steady.At least you have to see the money first before talking about it. As the old saying goes, it's never too late to show off the hawk before you see the rabbit.

"It's not that this business can't be done. It only costs one hundred silver coins, and the price is quite reasonable. However, I have something to say first. The high-level secrets of the inn are not accessible to a small employee like me. If I say I don't know, what will you do? Don’t think I’m trying to push it off.”

Jiang Yue smiled without saying a word.

Is the price fair?This is just giving money away.Seeing that the other party was still trying to figure it out, Jiang Yue didn't panic.The fish have all bitten the hook, so there is no need to worry about them struggling.

"Brother, if I'm not mistaken, your monthly salary is only twenty or thirty silver coins. If one hundred silver coins is just a question of a fair price, then if I change someone else, I believe he will think this is a windfall."

Why are you here again?Ah Piao smiled bitterly.Can't you just let me be reserved and take care of my damn self-esteem?

But faced with this method of using money to force him away, Ah Piao really couldn't stand up.

"Don't mention it, brother, I just said it casually. If you were to do this business for someone else, you really wouldn't be as thoughtful as me. What is our nickname? Shunfeng Er. Whatever happens in the inn, big or small, , there’s nothing we don’t know.”

Ah Piao was also a little panicked, and his tone softened a lot.If he was still thinking about bargaining before, now his only thought was to make this damn money.The other party must not be allowed to substitute.

"Aren't high-level secrets inaccessible to you?" Jiang Yue asked teasingly.

"Hehe, as long as you are serious, you can still hear something. Don't worry, although I love money, I still have a bottom line. Whatever I can say, I can guarantee that the news will be true."

Jiang Yue smiled mysteriously: "You don't need to emphasize this. I can tell whether the news is true or not."

Ah Piao was doubtful. How could you tell?The little mushroom man has a rather loud tone.

But if you have money, you are the boss. Although Ah Piao is rebellious, there is no reason why he can't get along with money.Even if you don't believe it in your heart, it won't show on your face.

"Boss, let's not beat around the bush. If you can find me, you must have trust in my character. We might as well ask first. Is my news worth it? You can decide whether to continue asking?"

Ah Piao was really anxious.

You start asking, if you ask one hundred silver coins, what do you want to give to your mother-in-law?What a waste of money for people.If you ask, I will tell you all the news about eight generations of my ancestors.Never vague.

Jiang Yue whetted his appetite.Then he nodded slowly.

"Okay, let's give it a try. But the ugly words come first. Don't be clever and just answer the truth. If you hide something or make things up, the result will be something you don't want to face."

In the latter sentence, Jiang Yue's intention of beating was obvious.This made Ah Piao feel nervous for no reason.

It's simply baffling. The other party is obviously a few humble mushroom people, and there is no strong momentum on the surface. Why do I feel panic for no reason?Where did the opponent's momentum come from?

"Okay, first question. How many of the top ten golden ethnic groups are staying at your inn this time?"

Ah Piao blinked his eyes with surprise on his face.He was not surprised that this question was too profound or too difficult to answer. On the contrary, this question was simply giving away money.

He swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but ask: "Can you get one hundred silver coins for this question?"

Jiang Yue counted out a hundred silver coins and pushed forward slightly, approaching Ah Piao.

Ah Piao no longer hesitated: "There are three families in total, the Xuanwu Clan, the Yaocao Clan, and the Abyss Clan. Originally, the Yaohua Clan also booked our inn, but they haven't arrived yet."

After answering, Ah Piao, just like an old lady guarding predators at a banquet in the surface world, grabbed her wrists and palms at the same time, and completely brought the one hundred silver coins in front of her.

Then he smiled coquettishly and said: "Boss, I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no mistakes in this news. There is only half a word of falsehood, and I will die badly."

Jiang Yue chuckled lightly and said with a meaningful smile: "Don't be nervous, I didn't say you were lying."

Ah Piao breathed a sigh of relief, but without being polite, he pocketed the one hundred silver coins.

"Boss, shall we continue?" How easy is it to earn one hundred silver coins?There is no doubt that this completely inspired Ah Piao's enterprising spirit, and he felt that he could still work harder.

"Okay, second question, how many invitations did Titan City-State send out for this auction?"

There was a wry smile on Ah Piao's face: "Boss, is this question over the top? This is something that I, an innkeeper, can't investigate. But I heard from people that all the powerful forces in the inner world of the earth, Titan City-State, have sent out invitations. .Only one...hehe..."

"There's no money in selling things." Jiang Yue said leisurely.

Ah Piao hurriedly said: "No, no. This is a bit offensive, but many people should know it. The Baoshu tribe definitely did not send out invitations this time. I heard the guests staying in the inn chatting, everyone We often talk about the Baoshu Clan, and many people gloat about their misfortune, thinking that this time the Titan City State will fall out with the Baoshu Clan, which is really exciting."

Jiang Yue frowned: "Aren't they here to participate in the auction? Why are they gloating?"

Ah Piao chuckled and said: "Yes, they are indeed here to participate in the auction, but the auction requires financial resources. Some forces are incapable of competing at first sight, and of course they are just watching the fun. Who would be suspicious of watching the fun? How big is it?"

At this point, Ah Piao suddenly shut up and said with a mean smile: "Boss, I seem to have said too much. I'll ask you the third question."

Jiang Yue didn't care and gave him another hundred silver coins.

"The third question is, which big influence is the first to stay at your inn?"

"Xuanwu tribe."

"According to what you know, which of these forces arrived in Titan City State first..."

“Which company is currently considered to be the most promising to win the auction?”

"Which forces have the highest level of reception and the closest exchanges with Titan City-State?"

……

Silver coins seemed to fall from the sky. Jiang Yue asked more than a dozen questions at once, and each question was asked in detail.Repeatedly polishing the details, never giving Ah Piao a chance to be tricky.

Ah Piao didn't resist at all, it was just a matter of spending more saliva.And these news don't involve too many secrets, they are just rumors.

After all, Ah Piao is just an inn boy. If he wants to leak secrets, he must be qualified.

After more than 1000 silver coins were thrown at his head, Ah Piao still felt a little dizzy.Until Jiang Yue stopped asking questions, Ah Piao was still a little unfinished, so he smiled and said, "Boss, should we continue?"

Jiang Yue smiled faintly and said: "Let's ask here first." Although Ah Piao was very satisfied after earning more than 1000 silver coins, no one would mind the burden of money. He chuckled and said: "Boss, if there is such a business in the future, You must still take care of me, my brother. You know who I am, and I will never play tricks with you. I believe the boss feels it too."

"Still want to make money?"

"You bastard, you don't want to." Ah Piao admitted generously.He wanted to make money without being shabby, so he didn't have the slightest bit of embarrassment.

Jiang Yue directly took out another five hundred silver coins and pushed it in front of Ah Piao with a smile: "In the next half month, this is the employment fee. You specially come to inquire about information for me. This is the basic salary, and there will be higher rewards in the future. But you can get it The reward depends on how much your news is worth."

Ah Piao took a deep breath and looked at the five hundred silver coins, his eyes gleaming.

The basic salary alone is five hundred. Isn't this girl too generous?I worked my butt off in the inn and couldn't get five hundred silver coins all year round. Even if I stole for a year to survive, it would only be five hundred.

He was only hired for half a month, and the basic salary was enough for him to work hard for a year.And there will be rewards later.

Ah Piao was a cautious person. He licked his face and asked with a smile: "Boss, is there a standard for this reward?"

"No matter how low it is, it can't be lower than the basic salary. But if you take the basic salary and do nothing, I guarantee you will regret it." Jiang Yue warned.

Ah Piao couldn't help but shiver.Damn it, why were you scared by this mushroom man again?This mushroom man is a bit evil, how can he have such great deterrent power?

But now he has put his mind in a right mood.He is the boss and a big financier, paying for his labor force.If we take care of people's jobs, we have to be controlled by others.

Besides, this boss is very generous and kind.In comparison, the inn's managers and foremen's lecturing was cruel, and it was no different from scolding their grandson.

There is no harm without comparison.

It's easy to make money here without losing dignity.Isn't that what you should deserve if you get slapped with a few words?

Not only was Ah Piao not annoyed, he even patted his chest and promised: "Just watch out, boss. I, Ah Piao, will definitely work with you with my head raised. Isn't it just to get information? Our inn is the largest and most luxurious in the Titan city-state, almost There is no one. There is no more news than our inn."

Jiang Yue said calmly: "Remember, the more important the news, the higher your bonus will be. You should know what kind of news I need and what news is valuable, right?"

"I know, I know. Hehe." Ah Piao nodded flatteringly.

"About the auction, the more detailed the better, right?"

"Don't let go of the reactions of all the forces, the movements of the major forces, and their focus."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I understand. Just wait until I get the news." Ah Piao nodded and bowed, smiling apologetically.

Jiang Yue smiled half-heartedly and said, "We are in an employment relationship, so you don't have to be humble. I still appreciate your unruly demeanor even more."

Ah Piao chuckled and said: "Yes, I understand. It seems that the boss is not an ordinary person. I would like to ask, is the boss..."

"what?"

"The rebels..." Ah Piao asked a little guilty.

"Haha, are you scared?" Jiang Yue asked with a faint smile.

"This...could it really be a gangster, right?" Ah Piao suddenly felt a pinprick in his butt, making him restless.

"Are there any mushroom people who are rebels? Who would like them?" Jiang Yue asked.

Ah Piao scratched his head: "Hey, that's what I said, but..."

"You can just make your own money. It doesn't matter whether you are a gangster or a compliant citizen. You and I are just small characters. We make money honestly and put the money in our own pockets. That is the truth. You can't interfere with other big things." , there’s no need to get involved.”

Ah Piao thinks about everything.The heavy one or two thousand silver coins, plus the subsequent rewards, might be able to directly go up to three thousand silver coins.

This amount would require him to go without food or drink for five or six years.To put it bluntly, this money is enough for him to buy a nest in his hometown, and it is not shabby.

Auctions, Titan city-states, etc., these big things, are they none of his business?Can he be given a big share of how much he earns from the auction?Don't even think about it.

During this period, he received a lot of guests. In addition to being busier and more tired, his income has not increased much. He has to rely on his ancestral craftsmanship to supplement the family income?
Making money is the most real thing.

Thinking of this, Ah Piao no longer hesitated.

"The boss is right. I am paid to work, as a matter of course. Other big things are not something that a small role like me can get involved in. The information that can fall into the ears of a small role like me is definitely not a core secret." Ah Piao is very capable. Give yourself some peace of mind.

"That's right. If you don't pull your crotch, I'll make sure you're fine. But if you go out of your way to ask for trouble, or think about snitching or something, I can guarantee that I will definitely be fine, so you can Not necessarily. They will definitely lock you in and torture you to see how much information you have leaked. Once you get involved with those unreasonable people, you will be finished for the rest of your life."

Ah Piao shuddered, but knew that the other party was not joking.

In the eyes of the rich and powerful, he, Ah Piao, is just a standard ant citizen. One more person is not more than him, and one person less than him is not more.It's not a big deal to kill thousands of people with one slap.

Getting involved with those people is really asking for death.

"Don't worry, boss, I love money, but I'm not stupid. I know who I can deal with and who I can't deal with," Ah Piao promised again and again.

"Haha, that's good. You can relax, I'm not a gangster. Mushroom people are not qualified to be a gangster. Like you, I am just employed by others. You make money, why don't I make money? Do you think How can I, a mushroom man, be so wealthy?"

If you say this, Ah Piao feels relieved.

Isn't that right?When it comes to ethnic identity, the mushroom people are not as good as themselves. Why are they so rich?It doesn’t make sense.

When it comes to running errands for people, that makes perfect sense.

Without the psychological baggage, Ah Piao became more talkative and had a lot of fun with Jiang Yue.And Jiang Yue is particularly good at understanding the other person's psychology, and his words can always speak to the other person's heart.After chatting over drinks, Ah Piao actually became brothers with him, and they were so harmonious.

The two parties happily made an agreement, and A Piao would report every two or three days.And if Jiang Yue needs anything, he will wait for him directly at the same place where he met before.

When Ah Piao was about to go out, Jiang Yue patted him on the shoulder enthusiastically: "Work hard, make enough money, and live a good life is the most practical thing."

Without making a move, a control talisman entered Ah Lao's body.
