Treasure identifying Golden Finger

0Faang Cheng's ability to make up lies had always been outstanding. Yu Yien and Lee Zhaowen, who were standing behind him, lowered their heads in sadness. In fact, they were laughing so hard that they almost couldn't breathe.    

    

"See, I've hit the nail on the head. I can tell that you guys have something to hide!"    

    

The head of the village said proudly.    

    

Faang Cheng thought that the head of the village was indeed a bit dignified, but not much.    

    

"Then do you want to stay here and live?"    

    

The head of the village looked at Faang Cheng and asked with a dignified expression.    

    

"Yes, yes, yes. We heard that we need to get approval from a few people before we can stay here. Oh, we are new here and don't know where to go. We asked around and the villagers said that there is an official on this road who can manage things. We just came here and don't know what kind of official it is. We didn't meet anyone along the way. Until we met you, I don't know if you are the person who can manage things?"    

    

Faang Cheng purposely blurred the information about the official and made the head of the village think that the villagers were talking about him. This could satisfy his vanity.    

    

"I don't dare to say how big an official he is, but if he is the person who can manage things, then he should be me!"    

    

The head of the village pretended to be very calm and said, but his tone was actually full of pride and arrogance.    

    

"Hey, that's great! We finally found someone who can make decisions!"    

    

Faang Cheng pretended to be happy as he turned his head to look at Lee Zhaowen and the others.    

    

"Brothers, we have found someone who can manage this matter!"    

    

Faang Cheng shouted.    

    

"That's great!"    

    

Everyone cooperated with each other in a silly manner. Then, they lowered their heads and began to hold back their laughter.    

    

"Big Brother Faang is addicted to acting!"    

    

Xiao Fei said helplessly.    

    

"Alright, this matter is very complicated. It's not that easy to do. I have to conduct a very detailed and comprehensive background investigation on you. Then, I will write an application to live in the underground country. I will sign it with my name, and together with my investigation information on you, I will hand it over to the magistrate. After that, the magistrate will arrange a meeting with you, and he will meet you for a long time..."    

    

The Bureau Chief continued to talk about his plan. Faang Cheng admired him a lot. He had actually thought of a plan in such a short period of time to deal with Faang Cheng and the others. He was indeed an experienced person!    

    

"Bureau Chief, look... We brothers are really anxious. Can you let us see the magistrate as soon as possible!"    

    

Faang Cheng interrupted the Bureau Chief's passionate speech.    

    

Just as the Bureau Chief was about to get angry, he saw a golden light flashing in the corner of his eyes. He lowered his head and saw Faang Cheng approaching him with two heavy and shiny gold ingots in his hands. The Bureau Chief could not help but take a deep breath and look at Faang Cheng in surprise.    

    

"Now... the gold ingots outside are all like this?"    

    

Faang Cheng's voice was trembling as he spoke.    

    

"Yes, the gold ingots outside, and the silver ingots..."    

    

Faang Cheng took out a few silver ingots from his bag, along with a bag of nuts and candies.    

    

"I wonder if the chief has any children in his house. These nuts and candies can be given to the children!"    

    

Faang Cheng placed the gold ingots, silver ingots, and the bag of candies in the chief's hands. He also took out a bag of salt the size of a palm from his shirt.    

    

"This is some sea salt, please give it to the chief!"    

    

Faang Cheng also placed the bag of salt in the chief's hands.    

    

The chief was already shocked. He took the things that Faang Cheng gave him with trembling hands and stuffed them into his inner pocket. Then, he pointed at the fork in the road.    

    

"Let's go. That is the road leading to the mansion. I will personally take you to see the mansion chief."    

    

The chief said excitedly.    

    

"Ah? Do we not need to write the documents?"    

    

Faang Cheng pretended to be surprised.    

    

"No need, there's no need. I'll help you guys finish it."    

    

Faang Cheng walked towards the fork in the road.    

    

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, chief."    

    

Faang Cheng hurriedly called for Lee Zhaowen and the others to follow him.    

    

Along the way to the mansion, the third-in-charge had flipped out the few things that Faang Cheng had given him several times. He had never seen the gold ingots and silver ingots outside, and the only silver ingot he had seen was brought in by his grandfather. There was no need to talk about nuts, candies, and salt. These were all rare treasures, but he had only heard of them from the older generation. Even if they did not eat these things, it would be easy for them to sell them in the future! How much food and fruits and vegetables could they exchange for them?    

    

"Here, the mansion is in front of you. I'll take you in. Otherwise, if you were alone, it would be impossible for you to see the mansion lord."    

    

The third-in-charge said in a domineering manner.    

    

The truth was that it was very difficult to meet the mansion lord. Even if the third-in-charge was here, he would not meet him! It was said that today was the birthday of the mansion lord's concubine, so he was accompanying her to watch the show!    

    

The guards at the door blocked the third-in-charge and Faang Cheng at the door. They refused to let them in without any room for negotiation.    

    

"The mansion lord has already said that he will not see anyone today. He will only be accompanying our Seventh Madam to watch the show!"    

    

The guard said indifferently.    

    

"Wow, the mansion lord of this place actually has seven concubines. The world is truly changing!"    

    

Lee Zhaowen said bluntly.    

    

The guards stared at him, and so did the Bureau Chief. Finally, the Bureau Chief stared at Faang Cheng.    

    

"I am speaking in admiration, admiration!"    

    

Lee Zhaowen silently retreated.    

    

"These young people really have something very important to see the Mansion Chief about. Please inform him that the Village Chief wants to see him. The Mansion Chief will definitely see me."    

    

The Bureau Chief had taken Faang Cheng's things, so he could still do things. He said to the guard sincerely.    

    

"We really don't dare to take this risk, because the Mansion Chief has already said that no matter who requests to see him, he won't see them. Bureau Chief, tell me, are you in this range? If we really go and inform him, we won't be able to bear the consequences!"    

    

The guard looked at the Bureau Chief with a troubled expression.    

    

Seeing that the other party had said so, the Bureau Chief helplessly turned to look at Faang Cheng and the others.    

    

"It seems that we can't do it today. We have to come tomorrow!"    

    

The Bureau Chief shook his head helplessly.    

    

Faang Cheng and the others naturally could not come tomorrow. Faang Cheng waved his hand at the Bureau Chief, then looked at the guard. He took out a gold ingot and handed it to the guard.    

    

"Can this gold ingot be used to pay for the punishment you will receive if you go and inform him?"    

    

Hearing Faang Cheng's words, the guard looked at the gold ingot in Faang Cheng's hand and immediately widened his eyes.    

    

"This is … a gold ingot?"    

    

The guard took the gold ingot at lightning speed and shook it in his mouth. It was real.    

    

"This … I have never seen this before. I don't know how much it is worth. I …"    

    

The guard seemed to be at a loss for words.    

    

"This is for you. Is it enough?"    

    

Lee Zhaowen could not wait any longer. He took some tobacco leaves from Lee Changting and handed them to the guard.    

    

The guard widened his eyes once again and took the packet of tobacco leaves with trembling hands. He placed it under his nose and sniffed it. Then, he raised his head to look at Faang Cheng and the others.    

    

"I will go right away. I will be in charge of relaying the message. However, I can't guarantee whether Lord Prefecture will see you or not!"    

    

The guard spoke very sincerely.    

    

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you, Big Brother Guard!"    

    

Faang Cheng nodded. Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he called out to the guard again.    

    

"Big Brother Guard, when you relay the message, please tell Lord Prefecture that he likes antiques. If he comes to see us, he will definitely have an unexpected surprise."    

    

Faang Cheng said softly.    

    

"Hmm? Oh, okay!"    

    

The guard nodded and immediately closed the door of the yamen. He ran in with a thump. The chief of the yamen stood at the door and looked at the place where Lee Zhaowen had taken out the tobacco leaves.    

    

"That … tobacco leaf …"    

    

The Bureau Chief looked like he was begging for it. Li Changting was a little helpless, but he still took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to the Bureau Chief.    

    

"Come, Bureau Chief, I will give you a pack too. This thing is not as valuable as that pack of salt. It's a lot worse, so I didn't take it out to give to you!"    

    

Actually, Li Changting did not smoke. He had prepared these cigarettes for his master and the many captains and sailors. Many captains and sailors smoked. Li Changting, who had such a high EQ, naturally knew how to control them.    

    

"Hehehe, I know. That pack of salt is definitely much more valuable, but this cigarette leaf … I personally like it a lot."    

    

The Bureau Chief said a little embarrassedly.    

    

"That's right, it's a personal hobby!"    

    

Faang Cheng said with a smile, but his attention was on the main gate of the mansion. He was waiting for the guards to come back.    

    

Everyone chatted with the Bureau Chief for a while and understood the situation in the underground country. Not long after, the main gate of the mansion was opened. The guards took the lead to step out of the gate, followed by a tall, burly, and somewhat imposing middle-aged man. Beside him was a beautiful woman in her twenties.    

    

"Who said that you can give me a surprise? I want to see what kind of surprise you can give me. If I don't satisfy you, I will be angry."    

    

The middle-aged man had an imposing manner. When he spoke, his voice would shake people's eardrums.    

    

"Master Mansheng, it's us. We have an urgent matter to discuss with you. We hope you can help us."    

    

Faang Cheng stepped forward and said in a serious tone.
