Chapter 160: It's good to have your back against a big tree

'Wulitou' is a peculiar place, neither particularly quiet nor very lively during the day, if people from nearby villages want to buy and sell, they will drive donkey carts to Wulitou to buy some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and then sell some family-raised chickens, ducks, fish, etc., such simple transactions are like ordinary towns.

The only special feature of 'Wulitou' is that there is no inn, and other idlers will not let people from other villages and towns stay overnight, so Zhao Xian and the others were able to successfully find a place to live and find a job last night, which cannot but be said to be extremely lucky.

If you talk about Li Chuyi in 'Wulitou', everyone in the town knows that this person is an idle person, his father and mother died early, and his family runs a grocery store in the town, and the shop is taken care of by his mother.

In the past, this person either slept at home, or went out to hang out, but his favorite thing was to gamble with a group of idlers in the town every day, but he lost more and won less, although the income of the grocery store at home was enough to maintain the weekday expenses, but he couldn't stand him so tossed, and he lived a tight life at home.

Fortunately, my uncle's cousin always remembered that Li Chuyi's father took care of him when he was a child, so he often asked someone to bring him some silver taels, but as soon as the silver taels entered Li Chuyi's hands, he filled in the bottomless pit of gambling, and when his cousin learned about it, he no longer subsidized him.

Habit is often a very terrible thing, Li Chuyi is used to taking his cousin's money, if one day there is no longer that extra money, his heart is extremely dissatisfied, the family is stretched thin for a while, he secretly hates his cousin, if there is no father to take care of his cousin before, how can he be so beautiful, is to give him some silver taels every month, there is nothing wrong, not to mention that his cousin is so rich now, but he is so stingy with his cousin, he is really ungrateful.

Li Chuyi thinks about this every time, thinking about his cousin's good wine, good meat, and good life, compared to his own borrowing money, pickles and radishes to make rice to live, and he hates it so much that his eyes are on fire, and his heart is foaming. Then I thought that someone sent money to the door a few days ago, pointing him out the way to make a fortune, and thinking about the snowflakes and fine silver that were about to arrive, I couldn't help but rejoice.

It was not in vain that he endured the itching of his hands in the past few days and did not gamble twice, and wandered around the street of the town night and night, which finally allowed him to meet these two people. At that time, the God of Wealth who sent money had taken care of it, as long as it was from outside, regardless of the number of people, regardless of appearance, he would help them, and he happened to do it, this thing was done beautifully, and if he wanted to come to the God of Wealth to be satisfied, those silver taels would be in his hands in two days.

And Zhao Xian and the others woke up from sleep, picked up the simple thatched hut that temporarily accommodated them, and walked around the whole town, buying some things for daily use, and by the way, in the name of Li Chuyi's distant cousin, they also found out a lot of things.

When the appointment with the steward last night, Zhao Xian and the others were already waiting in the big warehouse, and the bookkeeper was very happy to see the helper, so he hurriedly called Zhao Xian over, took out a thick account book and said to Zhao Xian: "You can see how this account was calculated before, and after you sort it out, come and help me get a new account in the next few days." ”

Zhao Xian nodded in response, took the account book, opened it and looked at it carefully, only after reading a few pages, she already understood how this account was calculated.

She hurriedly flipped through the thick account book from beginning to end, and found nothing she wanted to know, so she looked up and said to the bookkeeper, "Sir, if this account is not difficult to calculate, let me try to help you sort out the new account." ”

The bookkeeper looked up at him, and saw that he was not joking, so he took out a book of accounts from the table, pointed to the vacancy, and said, "In this case, try it, and if it doesn't work, tell me earlier, lest you be taught a lesson by the steward if you do badly." ”

Zhao Xian smiled silently, took the new account book, flipped through the first few pages, and found that the records on it were the current accounts of the past few days, she took a large roll of paper sent by the little girl, unfolded it and looked at it slowly, it turned out that these were all the receipts and clockwork when entering and leaving the goods, and all the items on these notes were classified and transcribed and calculated according to income and expenditure.

Zhao Xian said in her heart, this job is just right, she was worried that she couldn't find a clue, so she sent it up.

At this time, the steward had also come in, and saw Zhao Xian doing things seriously on the table under the lamp, nodded secretly, and took Yin Ren out of Lu, Yin Ren saw that Zhao Xian had already started, so he was relieved to follow the person out of Lu to move the goods.

In the night, the 'Wulitou' began to be busy day after day, as the transit place of the 'Wulitou', the purchase, the shipment, the trading people are some old acquaintances, they greet each other, chatting about the current trading situation, is when Yin Ren came in, what he saw was such a lively situation.

Someone with sharp eyes saw that the attendant next to the steward had brought a person in, and he hurriedly stopped talking and wondered: "Wulitou can also enter outsiders now?" ”

The little guy hurriedly explained: "This is Li Chuyi's distant cousin, and he only came to join him yesterday. ”

Yin Ren was busy and said with a smile: "In Xia Xiaoda, please take care of you." ”

Someone contacted a similar name and suddenly said, "Li Chuyi? But that cousin? ”

"That person is now the first-class celebrity in that place, and we are five miles away, and we can only have such a situation thanks to that person."

"Since he is Li Chuyi's cousin, isn't that also that cousin?"

"We still need more attention from Brother Xiao."

The sound of gossip sounded on the side, and when it came to that person, no one dared to despise Yin Ren in an instant, and instead set up friendships, thinking that Yin Ren was a master in the business field, and it was very easy to deal with these people, and after a while, he became familiar with that group of people, and no one dared to let him do heavy work for a while.

The night is getting deeper, and the busyness of five miles contrasts with the quietness of Xiangyang City dozens of miles away, and in a secluded mansion in Xiangyang City, a figure flashes by, passing through the garden in a familiar way, and when it reappears, it has come to the door of the owner's bedroom in the back house.

The lamp in the master's bedroom was not lit, and a person sat quietly in the dark, as if waiting for someone, and when the figure came to the door, the man said in a deep voice: "Come in!" ”

The black shadow pushed the door and walked in, came to the person in the house, and said respectfully: "The subordinates were late, causing the little prince to be detained, and he was almost abducted elsewhere, and asked the prince to punish his subordinates for dereliction of duty." ”

The man sitting on the chair in the dark said lightly: "I don't blame you! This stinky boy came with him secretly, and I didn't even notice it. So he stood up, walked to the table, lit the lamp, and stood in front of the table with his hands in his hands.

The lamp and candle were lit, and the face of the middle-aged man appeared above the table, it was Mr. Duan. The black shadow that came in just now was a young man, with slightly dark skin and an extremely ordinary appearance, bowing down and standing behind Mr. Duan.

The young man said again: "Do you need your subordinates to take over your son now?" ”

Mr. Duan snorted lightly: "No need, let this stinky boy spend a little more time in Xie Mansion." He remembered what Zhao Yunyan, the third prince of the palace, said when he came to visit during the day, and couldn't help but sneer, and said, "How is the investigation of the nursing home?" ”

The young man replied: "My subordinates have already checked, and the nursing home is really not simple, and a group of young men and women will be transferred to other places in the next two days, and the specific location is not yet known." ”

Mr. Duan slowly turned around, looked at the man and said, "You call the rest of the people, and be sure to find out the recent movements of the nursing home." ”

The man bowed his head and exited the bedroom, his body moving, and then disappearing into the darkness.

Mr. Duan pinched his eyebrows lightly with his hand and said softly, "Is this the beginning?" ”
