Chen Run took out the account book and showed it to Ruji: "Look, there have been a lot of incomes in the past few days, in fact, it has rained in the past few days, it is not so hot, and the income should have been less, but there are a few tables of regular customers who still came, and they are all single rooms opened upstairs, although there are not many things ordered, but there is a lot of silver given." ”
Ru Ji carefully asked about the situation of the guests at those tables, but it was not too special. On a rainy day, it is normal for someone to sit in a teahouse for a while, eat tea and chat in a private room and then give a tip. If this is suspicious, then the teahouse does not need to be opened.
However, would the couple surnamed Qin ask such a question casually?
Ru Xi already had a rough guess in her heart, but there was no surveillance camera in Pu Weiji, even if Chen Run, who sat at the counter every day, stared at it desperately, he couldn't care what the guests at each table said and talked about, let alone what happened in the five single rooms upstairs.
All Chen Run could see was that the guest went in, then ordered, and left after eating.
Ru Ji turned around and asked carefully for a long time, but there were still no clues, so she could only stop first, just staring at Chen Run, you must be extra careful, if you can hear one or two keywords or something, you have to pay attention to it.
At this time, Cai Wan also came to speak, and after listening to the conversation between Ruxi and Chen Run, he pondered for a long time, and finally remembered something: "Girl, I really want to hear a table of regular customers who like to sit by the window on the street occasionally whisper something about Quanzhou, Yuzhou, and what birds and clouds have been mentioned. In fact, there are a lot of merchants in the teahouse, and the foreign accent is also common, but they are very cautious, and when I went to refill the tea for them, they deliberately stopped talking, so I didn't hear too clearly, is this a special guest? ”
Ru Ji frowned and said: "I don't know this, Xia Yin, how do you see the martial arts of the couple surnamed Qin, can you see it like this?" ”
Xia Yin's face was a little solemn: "Girl, I think those two people are quite familiar, but I haven't seen them, I don't know if it's because of the disfigurement or what." When it comes to martial arts, it's hard to say. Because looking at the calluses and old marks on their fingers and wrists, this is a practitioner for many years, but the breathing is so calm, it must be a very high level of kung fu, and I can't see their depth with my ability. ”
Ru Xi nodded, she had seen Qin Xizhi make a move in the bun shop, and the last time she heard Chen Hao's words, that Mrs. Qin also had a relationship with Chen Hao's master, and it was normal for her to be a master.
Chen Runti said, "Girl, why don't you let Xia Yin stay in the store for a few days?" If there is any special guest who practices martial arts, we can't see it, Xia Yin can see it. ”
Ru Ji thought for a while: "This, I'll go back and discuss it with Chen Hao." Martial arts has to be said on both sides, Xia Yin can see others, and people can also see Xia Yin. I'm afraid that others will see Xia Yin and think that we have some arrangement, but we will suffer. In short, you must be careful, if something really happens, remember that human life is the most important, money and belongings are outside the body, you don't hurt and don't implicate. ”
Chen Run, Cai Wan and others all responded, and Ru Xi had no intention of staying in Pu Wei Ji more. The current situation is really weird, and she can't think of anything if she thinks about it here, so it's better to hurry up and discuss it with Chen Hao.
After boarding the carriage home and dressing up, Ru Xi suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask Cai Wan about Jiang Yuexuan's past life, but it was not a big deal in comparison, so it didn't hurt to let it go first.
Thinking of this, Ru Xi asked Xia Yin to tie up the curtain on the side of the carriage, casually looked at the flow of people and shops on the street outside the carriage, relaxed a little, and adjusted her mood for a while.
Just when the carriage was about to turn the last corner, the two figures on the side of the street attracted Ru Ji's attention again-red clothes like fire, tall as pine, those two people are, Liu Chengyin and Lu Mao?
This...... What's this combination?
As soon as Chen Hao arrived home that night, Ru Xi told him everything he had seen during the day, which naturally included seeing Liu Chengyin and Lu Mao together.
Chen Hao listened to Ruji's suspicion and worry about Pu Weiji, as well as the words and deeds of Qin Xizhi and his wife, his brows became more and more furrowed, but when it came to the matter between Liu Chengyin and Lu Mao, his expression changed and became relaxed: "I have probably heard about this matter." ”
Although there are still many worries about Pu Weiji, the entertainment power of gossip is eternal for girls. Ru Ji was immediately attracted to attention: "Really? Did they already know each other? ”
Chen Hao saw that Ruji's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help laughing: "They are not old acquaintances." About last year, at a certain Gyeongbok temple fair, the Lu family girl sprained her foot, Lu Mao and Shi Renlang were actually there at the time, but from a distance, just in front of Orange Yin, she straightened the sprained ankle bone for Miss Lu. Around that time, the Shi family and the Lu family had some contacts with the Liu family. When Mrs. Shi Er made overtures to the Liu family before, Lord Liu asked me a few questions, and at that time, in addition to asking about Shi Renlang, she also mentioned Lu Mao. The Lu family actually doesn't have much contact with the Liu family, but Lu Mao has also learned a set of Taishan faction's boxing techniques, although he is not a formal Taishan disciple, his martial arts are still relatively good among the recent recruits of the Yulin Battalion. Orange Yin's uncle is a teacher in the Yulin Battalion, and they may have met them in the martial arts training ground. ”
Ru Ji thought for a while: "Actually, the two of them are quite compatible, Lu Mao is a very kind young man, and Miss Liu is a lively character, if the two of them can talk about martial arts, it would be good." It's just that Shuang'e wants to be a good concubine and enter the door, can Lord Liu accept this? ”
A somewhat playful smile floated on Chen Hao's lips: "Although Lord Liu is a martial artist, he still sees things very thoroughly. The court of the Zhenguo General's Mansion didn't say that Lu Mao is not a bad person, people can't always seek perfection in everything. ”
If you think about it, the deputy head of the Criminal Department is only from the fifth grade, and the official position is the same as Pu Yu, but theoretically speaking, the promotion space after that is very different. Among the hundred officials, Hanlin is the most famous for being noble, although it is not "not Hanlin does not enter the cabinet", but there are still many important ministers from Hanlin. There are actually very few people like Pu Yu who entered the Hanlin Academy as a second-class passer, and then stayed in the Hanlin Academy for the rest of his life. For the vast majority of first-class and second-class Jinshi, Hanlin Academy is the best www.biquge.info of the official career penqu pavilion. And the officials of the criminal department who are on the road of anti-theft and punishment often reach the peak of the chief arrest of the criminal department, and it is difficult to go up again. From this point of view, if Liu Chengyin marries into the Lu family, in fact, for example, Yan is more considered to be a high-ranking marriage, then Lu Mao has an innocent aunt who is expressly forbidden not to have an eldest son, which is really not a big deal.
After discussing the affairs of the Liu family and the Lu family, Ruxi asked again about Pu Weiji.
Chen Hao pondered for a while before he said simply: "Actually, Pu Wei remembered that there were suspicious people coming in and out, and I already knew about this matter." It's just that the situation has not yet become clear, and the evidence is insufficient. I didn't mention it to you because it only made you worry in vain. You said that the couple surnamed Qin went again, and I actually heard about it. You're okay with it, just don't offend people. ”
Ru Ji had a very complicated feeling in her heart, although she intellectually understood that Chen Hao was right not to say it, after all, there was nothing she could do if she knew, and if Chen Run and the others were nervous, it would really alarm the suspects, and maybe the situation would be more dangerous. But reason is one thing, and I always feel a little unhappy on the feelings. After being silent for a long time, he looked at Chen Hao with a solemn face: "If you don't tell me, it naturally makes sense." I won't ask you for details, but when I don't know, I will also appease Chen Run and Cai Wan, open the store steadily, and just act as if nothing happened. It's just that you promised me one case, the safety of Cai Wan and Chen Run-"
"Don't worry." Chen Hao clenched Ruji's hand, "I'll make sure they're okay." ”
"Yes." Ru Ji stared at him for a moment and nodded, "Cai Wan is like my family, no matter what, I can't watch her get hurt." ”
Chen Hao pulled her closer to his arms and kissed her hair: "I know, I know that you were still thinking about saving Cai Wan when you were delirious. Rest assured. ”
"Yourself, be more careful." Ru Xi closed her eyes and muttered, "I only have you." ”
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
Probably this sentence is the most appropriate description for things related to caiyun.
Ru Ji had just received Chen Hao's promise and was a little relieved, and the next day Cai Wan came over to deliver Pu Weiji's account book, but something went wrong again. Because when Cai Wan arrived, Ru Xi was walking with Su Sanniang, Cai Wan relied on her familiarity with the terrain, and did not wait in the three-room courtyard, but went directly to the garden to find Ru Xi.
This search happened to meet Shi Zhonglang at the gate of the garden.
