Chapter 10: Proximity (2)

Tao Xiushui saw this person do it, and pretended to block it unintentionally. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He didn't get angry, but asked the demon spirit in his heart, "How is the investigation?"

After a short time, he listened to the demon spirit: "This beautiful boy is in trouble, his family's goods have a problem because there are ghosts in the family, and now his family is about to ship, for fear that something will go wrong again, and they are all anxious to find the culprit." ”

"Do you know who did it?" Tao Xiushui hurriedly asked in her heart.

"I'll have to eat well when I go back to tell you"

"Okay, no problem, let's talk about it!"

……

After the demon spirit explored the two of them one by one, Tao Xiushui didn't want to perfunctory the two of them anymore, so he angrily put the wine jug on the table, and laughed a few times:

"I think both of them are very incompetent, they can't find the cause of the matter, they will only be sad about drinking, they are really stupid."

"You singing restaurant, don't talk nonsense, don't pretend to understand there, get out of me"

Lin Gongzi was annoyed and angry, and his chubby face made the fat on both sides tremble because of anger, and it was disgusting to watch.

Tao Xiushui chuckled and continued:

"Lin Gongzi, don't be angry, listen to me, the blacksmith's daughter you dated is not worthy of you at all, she has already been engaged, and she will marry when her husband comes back at the end of the year, if you continue to provoke her, your father's official hat may not be guaranteed, and then she will sue you for bullying a married woman, at that time your father will have no reputation, and the government will no longer be able to use him."

"Shut up for me, you're a joke, you know what"

Although Lin Gongzi was surprised, he couldn't hold his face, and he was about to stretch out his hand to hit someone.

Although Tao Xiushui's body is not as good as before, it is more than enough to deal with one or two white-faced scholars.

Lin Gongzi was so angry that he was about to shout, and Tao Shuixiu had to look at Xiao An, who was sitting firmly on Mount Tai opposite.

"Xiao Gongzi, if you don't persuade this Lin Gongzi to stop, I won't tell you, tomorrow your goods will probably sink into the sea, and your Xiao family will also be punished by the Holy Lord. ”

Xiao Dashao felt that this woman was correct when she said Lin Gongzi, and guessed that nine times out of ten people wanted to make another false payment, so he deliberately sat here and did not speak.

At this time, when he heard that the person in front of him actually said that his family's goods were on it, he said angrily: "You are talking nonsense"

Tao Xiushui walked around to this person and whispered:

"Young Master Xiao, every summer, because of the convenience of transporting goods and in order not to be familiar to competitors, you often take the waterway, and the eighteenth and twenty-eighth of each month will depart from the dock, and each time you go, there are two boats, one before and one after the other for convenience as a cover......"

Xiao An was extremely surprised, these things were only known to the core people within his family, how could the people in front of him know.

I was anxious, and I was afraid that others would hear it, so I roared angrily, "Okay, shut up, I believe you can't do it?"

Because Young Master Lin was beside him, he hurriedly told this girl to shut up first.

Tao Xiushui smiled, "Okay, since you believe me, how about we make a deal?"

In order to appease the person in front of him, Xiao Dashao promised that whether it was true or not, he wanted to appease this person first.

Tao Xiushui knew so clearly that he started from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Because she went to eavesdrop, she listened to Xiao Mao, Xiao Shengzheng and his father study the damage to the goods.

That time, the goods transported by Master Xiao also went wrong, and it was originally a silk brocade for the ladies in the palace to make summer clothes, but because there was a ghost in the house, the cabin accidentally leaked, so that a boatload of goods were soaked.

Because of this incident, the Xiao family was almost punished by the whole family, if it weren't for her prime minister's father to reconcile it, Master Xiao's family would have been no imperial businessmen a long time ago, and I am afraid that they would have to die.

But just now she asked the demon spirit to probe Xiao An's past, and she knew that the ghost in this person's house had not yet been found.

The demon spirit told her that the ghost of the Xiao family was still in the boat, and that he was also a close relative of his family.

Tao Xiushui asked Xiao An to take Lin Gongzi away in front of him first, and then told him the news of the ghost in the house.

She knew that the Xiao family would deliver goods to the capital in the next two days, and if there were ghosts in the house, they would definitely be prepared the night before, so she asked him to go to the horse dock one night in advance to catch this person.

Whoever it is, as long as they watch it walk around the ship in the middle of the night, there is no doubt that this person is an internal ghost.

Because this was told to her by the demon spirit, Tao Xiushui was convinced.

Xiao An was amazed by the woman who told the secret story of his family.

Later, when he heard him say this, he felt that this woman must have something to do with the ghosts in his family, so he pretended to be perfunctory, agreed to all the conditions, and agreed on the time of the next meeting.

Because of the mistake in the last delivery, the ladies in the palace did not have the silk brocade to make summer shirts.

The Xiao family wanted to take advantage of the fact that the weather was not hot, and hurriedly sent another batch to the ladies in the palace, so as not to delay the preparation of summer shirts by the ladies and sisters.

At that time, the emperor will not be able to punish the crime, and the status of the Xiao family's imperial businessmen will also be lost.

So there can be no surprises in this shipment.

If something happens again, it will not only affect the status of the second uncle of the Xiao family in the court, but their Xiao family will also be punished.

Xiao An was able to come out with Lin Gongzi tonight, so he wanted to inquire about the recent water security situation in Baicheng, and he decided to deliver the goods that day.

But before he could say this, the woman in front of him was disturbed.

But if you can really find out who the ghost is in the house, it will be worth coming out this time.

Tao Xiushui saw what this person was thinking when he left, and said in that joy:

"If Xiao Gongzi suspects that I am a ghost in your family, then you are really stupid, I have something to ask you for help, so I made an exception to inform you, this time your goods are going to go wrong, you don't need to say it, you must know the consequences, you are familiar with it, you can weigh it yourself!"

Xiao An returned home with doubts.

In the past two days, his father has been in the army, and he is very frightened.

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Zhubo would normally be used to maneuver in front of the city lord, he would not have accepted Lin Gongzi's invitation tonight.

As soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to consult with his father.

At this time, the Xiao family was afraid that what happened last time would happen.

If they did it again, their family's heads would really not need to be.

Like his son, Mr. Xiao is graceful and suave, although he is over sixty years old, he is still favored by some small jasper women.

But this person is really not romantic by nature, so he quarreled with his wife a lot about this.

Today, because a woman was talking to her on the street, she made her unhappy.

At this time, the husband and wife sat in the room, and no one paid attention to the other.

Seeing Xiao An coming back in a hurry, his eyes were full of surprise.

"Why did you come back so early?"

Mrs. Xiao is about the same age as Master Xiao, but because of her big family, husband and filial piety, she lives a harmonious and beautiful life, looking at her appearance, she is like a young woman in her thirties, with a beautiful face and white skin, plus a plump appearance, and she looks very beautiful.

Seeing that his son came back, he hurriedly said something.

Master Xiao also looked at him with a puzzled face, and frowned: "What's the matter? Didn't you go to Gongzi Lin?"

"I went, but I ......" Xiao An said about the accident that he ran into Tao Xiushui.

"Oh! and this."

"I think that woman is in league with the thief who killed us."

Master Xiao touched his smooth chin, and his eyes pondered: "That's not likely, since people said that they could catch the inner ghost that night, it doesn't hurt to try"
