I took a deep breath, looked at Cui'er and asked, "Do you know the Liu family in Qibei?" ”

"The Liu family?" Cui'er's eyes lit up, and she was about to answer me.

There was a sudden thunderclap in the sky, and the night sky was split in an instant.

The rain suddenly increased, and with a strong wind, a hula blew open a window that had not been closed tightly.

The flame of the oil lamp on the table shook rapidly twice and then went out.

Cui'er closed the wooden window again against the strong wind and firmly inserted the window pins.

"Girl, the Liu family opened a money village in Qibei." Cui'er fiddled with the wick and said in a trembling voice, "The rain is strong and windy, and it looks weird and scary." ”

I tightened my coat, and the sound of the furious wind was blocked out the window.

"Cui'er, sit down next to me." I whispered.

She moved a stool and poured me a cup of tea.

"Tell me everything you know about the Liu family." I took a sip of my tea, put down my cup and looked at her for a moment before asking.

"To be honest, the slave doesn't know much." Cui'er's expression was a little embarrassed.

"Aren't you from Qibei?" I asked strangely.

"The slave is from Qibei." She answered.

"Then why don't you know about this Liu family, could it be that they are very mysterious?" I said thoughtfully.

"Girl, you don't know." Cui'er whispered, "The Liu family is not a native of Qibei, they only came to Qibei a few years ago. “

A few years ago, I went to Qibei and opened a money bank here.

I took a deep breath and listened to the sound of the rain beating outside the window. Shensi was still a little disturbed, trying his best to calm himself, Qibei is a big city for Nanliang.

Geographically, it's a bit more subtle.

Qibei is like the southwest gate of Nanliang.

To the south, there is the extremely vast land of Qishan, and to the southwest, it is the interweaving point of my contradictions in the past few days.

The forces of the Snow Eagle are now operating in that area.

Associated with a deeper level. It's the same map I've ever seen.

Nanling Miaojiang is in the southernmost part of Qishan, deep in the mountains.

No matter where it is, it is not easy to open a money bank, and it is an external force to operate and control such a powerful place.

What is the origin of the Liu family?

I pondered for a moment and asked Cui'er, "You said that they only came to this place for four or five years, and then opened a money bank, is the scale of the money bank very large?" “

Hear me ask this. Cui'er pursed her lips and smiled: "The girl is a newcomer, and I don't know the situation. ”

"The Liu family's money village is called Li Tongtong, and it is not only the largest money village in Nanliang. There are semicolons everywhere. The slave maid heard that Litong's business was also going to other countries. “

I was taken aback and turned my head to look at Cui'er speechless.

What a big deal!

The raindrops outside the window lattice, pounding on the flower branches intensively, made a clear sound.

Cui'er yawned and looked at me a little embarrassed and said, "Girl, it's late, why don't you rest first." Watch out for your body. “

"Regarding the matter of the Liu family, you can call the steward in the courtyard early tomorrow morning to ask, they must know much more than the slave maid."

"The slave and maid stay in the courtyard all day, and most of the things outside are also heard by people, and some news is afraid that it is false. It's also not very reliable, and it's not as good as the stewards who often move around. Know the news much more reliably. ”

Cui'er made sense, I nodded, and lay down on the bed.

Wrapped tightly around the quilt on my body, I still felt cold, and I knew that it wasn't because of the futon, so I tried to convince myself to close my eyes.

The shadow of that person always flashed in front of me, and it was almost three shifts before I slowly fell asleep.

As soon as I opened my eyes, it was already dawn, and Cui'er heard me getting up and hurriedly brought water in to wash me.

The green silk that had not been taken care of was skillfully pulled into a good-looking bun in Cui'er's hands, and she took it to me in the mirror.

As soon as I took a photo, I couldn't help laughing and said, "This won't work, Cui'er, let's change it." ”

Cui'er looked at my smile for a while, she didn't understand my laughter, but after looking at me in the mirror, she looked at the depressed look of yesterday, and she also smiled with me.

As soon as I looked in the mirror, I realized that Cui'er combed the Feixian bun for me, and the bun on the top was too similar to a set of pit daddy modeling drawings I saw before the crossing.

It looks like a cartoon animal, so I can't help but laugh.

Cui'er changed my double bun for me as she said.

"This is okay," I said, looking in the mirror, acknowledging.

After eating breakfast, I saw the eldest of the three who brought me yesterday come to see me.

"Miss Xiaoling, I heard that you want to know something about the Liu family." The boss gets straight to the point.

I glanced at Cui'er beside me, and she nodded to me, she was very efficient.

"Yes," I didn't want to beat around the bush too much, and smiled, "That's what it means." ”

"Girl, do you know anyone from the Liu family?" Although the boss's eyes were calm, he couldn't hide a trace of inquiry and looked at me.

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but I just heard that they opened a local bank, and I'm just a little curious." ”

"The Liu family's money village is not only opened locally, there are more than a dozen branches in the country of lakes alone, and there are all of them in the larger cities you can count." The boss replied respectfully.

"Well, I've heard this too." As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the boss wink at Cui'er.

Suddenly, I was a little annoyed, and said loudly: "Cui'er just said what she knows, since you are my senior brother's subordinates, I don't want to talk and hide, if there is anything, tell it clearly and frankly, don't be very obscure in front of me." ”

I sighed and waved my hand: "If I can't do it, I still move out of this courtyard, Nanliang Qibei is so big, it's still easy to find a place to live." ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the boss and Cui'er kneeling on the ground together.

I was startled and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Girl," said the boss, sweating on his forehead, "what do you command?" The subordinates will do their best to do it, don't mention the matter of moving out, the Lord specially advised, you must live here with peace of mind. ”

That's what I said! I'm even more unhappy.

"I'm not under house arrest here, I can come and go whenever I want."

"Fang Cai's subordinates just signaled to Cui'er and asked her not to tell you something on her own, you don't know, these maids are locked up in the courtyard all day long. I don't know much about the outside world. “

"Cui'er didn't say a few words at all, it was windy and rainy last night, and I was in a bad mood when I first came here, so Cui'er just chatted casually with me."

"Then again," I really don't want them to gag anymore, and go straight back to the subject I want to know, "Since the Liu family's money bank business is so big, it must be a big house, I want to know where their house is." Where is Qibei located? “

"Get up and speak, I am not your lord, what do you kneel when you have nothing to do?"

The Boss got up. I touched the beads of sweat on my head. He pulled Cui'er, who was kneeling beside him, and replied to me calmly: "There are several places in the Liu family's house, I don't know which one you are asking?" “

How many places? I thought for a moment and looked at Lao Dao: "Actually, you should know that when I was picked up on the dock, I came on the ship of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion. “

"What I want to know now. Naturally, the people of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion were placed in which mansion of the Liu family. “

The boss looked at me with some embarrassment and said, "Miss Xiaoling, tell you everything that happened." “

"Actually, that's right," the boss said, looking away from me, bowing his head. "The power of the Liu family is a dominant family in Qibei, although they have only been in Qibei for a few years. But Qianzhuang's business is doing very well, and even the government can't control their heads. “

"In addition, they are very measured in their work, and ordinary people can't catch anything wrong."

"The resettlement of the people of the Martyrdom Pavilion you want to ask about is not hidden, as far as we have heard so far, I am afraid that there is more than one resettlement site."

"You mean, the Liu family originally had many mansions in Qibei, and now the people of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion have been placed in different mansions by them."

"That's right."

I sound so strange, how could Chen Yuqing scatter and place his subordinates, it sounds as if he was going to be a nursing home for the Liu family's house.

I put aside the suspicions in my heart and felt that I still had to focus on the most important questions.

I thought about it for a while, and said to the old avenue: "Although the people of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion have been arranged everywhere, but there is only one pavilion master for them, he will not be assigned to several places, right?" “

The boss was stunned for a moment, and then straightened up and replied to me: "Pavilion Master Chen was still on the boat last night. “

Hearing this, I stared at the boss and couldn't believe my ears: "What did you say?" “

He repeated, "Pavilion Master Chen heard that he stayed on the ship. “

Odd? Isn't that the list I made in his hands?

Before leaving, he handed it over to a subordinate of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion, and when Chen Yuqing saw the list, he should easily find the list of some medicinal materials on it, if he knew a little bit about medical science.

I also deliberately circled it with a pen and added a small note, indicating that these medicinal materials must be purchased in a reliable pharmacy with good color.

When it comes to the medicine that Yun Chu is going to use, I have been regretting that I shouldn't have handed it over since I went ashore.

Because the breakup with Yun Chu was very unpleasant, the list was also handed over to the subordinates of the Martyr Jade Pavilion.

What I regret is that I shouldn't have been angry at that time, and if the people below are not effective, I should be worried!

And the list is in my hand, so I have a legitimate reason to go to see Yun Chu, how can it be like now, for a while, I can't find an excuse for me to visit reasonably.

I can't say this kind of thing to others, so I can only be annoyed by myself.

Chen Yuqing stayed on the ship, could it be because he was going to personally supervise the purchase of these medicinal materials?

He has always been very concerned about Yun Chu's affairs, and it makes sense to explain it like this.

I thought again, no, if that were the case, he could have taken the list and stayed comfortably in any of the Liu family's mansions for one night, and then went to the city to buy it and send it back to the ship to be counted.

There's no reason to have to sleep on a boat, and I'm tired of the rickety bed, isn't he?

Unless, for what reason, Chen Yuqing can't go ashore, definitely, he must stay on the ship?!

Why?
