Ling Xue, who escaped from the restaurant at the speed of dodging the flood beast, dodged into a deep alley next to it, leaning against a wall of bluestone brown tiles to breathe, and by the way, dispersed the two blush under the mask that only he could detect. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I really don't know what kind of crazy person I'm going to be today, how can I suddenly use such a ...... Speaking to himself in such a frivolous tone, this is too far from his image of a humble and polite gentleman in the past. And I'm really, I would be so fascinated by the face of an acquaintance. Could it be that she was really told by Weiyue Na Nizi, she had been in the window for too long, and she began to hallucinate for a long time? Touching her cheek under the mask with her cold fingertips, Ling Xue thought uncontrollably.

Forget it, think more than you want. For now, she had better get the auction house done first.

After being stunned for a moment, Ling Xue, who put away her complicated thoughts, straightened up and prepared to walk out of the deep alley. But I didn't want people to just walk to the corner of the alley, and they were hit by a sudden thin figure.

"Ahh

Ling Xue, who was hit, endured the pain from her waist and didn't say a word, but the person who hit the person let out a cry of pain.

Listening to this timbre, she still felt immature, and Ling Xue subconsciously looked down. I saw a little boy about ten years old wearing a dark gray patch robe that was obviously much wider, and he looked more and more skinny under this old robe, and his exposed skin was so dirty and black that he could not see the original color.

"Big sister, I'm sorry. Xiaoman didn't mean to hit you. ”

Touching Ling Xue's scrutinizing gaze, the boy hurriedly put down his left hand that was touching the sore forehead in panic, and looked at her with a pitiful expression.

This kid ...... Little beggars?

Glancing at the slight movement under the boy's right sleeve robe, Ling Xue checked the items on her body without a trace, and hooked the corners of her mouth with interest, "It's okay, it's getting late, you can go home quickly." With that, she waved her hand and motioned for the boy to leave quickly.

The boy thanked him gratefully, spread his legs, and ran in the direction where Ling Xue had come.

The deep gaze followed the dark gray figure and disappeared into another corner of the deep alley, and Ling Xue only then lifted her inner breath, and with a little foot, she flew up to the beam of the tallest house in the deep alley. In a condescending manner, he quickly shuttled to the back of the boy running not far away, and followed closely behind.

Panting in front of the familiar small courtyard took a few breaths, and turned out a golden ingot from the robe behind him with his backhand, feeling that he had gained a lot today, Xiao Manchu raised his black head and swaggered into the courtyard, and did not forget to call people out to share his joy.

"Beans, rice cakes...... Come out quickly, see what good things Man Ye got today! ”

"Brother Xiaoman is back!"

As soon as the boy's words fell, a few cheering children's voices instantly sounded in the quiet dilapidated courtyard, and in the only bungalow made of bluestone, several children of all ages walked out, although they were plainly dressed and full of patches, but they were all clean and tidy, far from Xiaoman's dress.

The younger children jumped around Xiao Man and screamed "brother" and "good things", looking very curious. Only one little girl with two pigtails who was slightly older than the children was very dissatisfied with the boy's dress. "How did you make yourself so dirty?"

"Oh, Brother Han said that a man is dirty!" Xiao Man waved his hand indifferently, and then spread his clenched left hand in front of the girl's eyes, "Sister Qiao Ying, look, what is this?" ”

"Wow! Gold ingots! Brother Xiaoman, you are so amazing! ”

Without waiting for the girl to react, the children around Xiaoman let out an exclamation one by one, and their little faces were full of worship for the boy.

"Where!?" Years of poverty had polished the girl named Qiao Ying to not be as innocent as other children, and the moment she saw the gold ingot, she immediately suspected its origin. Thinking that her precious brother's child might have become a thief, her raised voice was full of questions. "Xiaoman, tell me honestly, where did this gold ingot come from!?"

"Qiao...... Sister Qiao Ying...... Don't get excited...... You don't care where it came from, anyway, with it, we will have the money to treat the buns......"

After all, he was a half-grown child, and in the face of the scolding of his relatives, the boy who was still angry immediately panicked, and his weak face was full of self-confessions. Seeing his appearance, Qiao Ying, who knew him well, still didn't understand anything. At that moment, she snatched the gold ingots from the boy's hand, and in the frightened sight of many children, she took Xiao Man's hand and walked out. "Let's go! Let's go and return it to someone! ”

"I'm not going!" One hand dragged the courtyard door, and the other hand shook off the other party's confinement. Xiao Man fought against the girl with a stubborn face. "What's wrong with stealing!? It's better for me to steal than to watch the buns get sick and die! Brother Han is not here, and I Xiaoman has the responsibility to protect all the children in the yard! Besides, that person may have gone away, and you won't have any land to pay it back if you want to! ”

Really? Want to pay it back and don't have the land to pay it back?

Squatting on the eaves, calmly watching the scene in the yard, Ling Xue pursed her lips funny, stood up and patted the dust on the eaves on her robe, and prepared to turn around and leave.

"The bun is sick! But I will never use this kind of dirty money to treat buns! ”

"What's wrong with dirty money!? Isn't what Brother Han got dirty money!? I'm telling you! Song Qiaoying! Brother Han, who you have in mind, is also a thief!! ”

"Smack-" A loud slap in the face.

"Woo...... Sister Qiao Ying hit someone! "Woo woo...... followed by the frightened cries of a group of children.

Ling Xue, who was going to give up the ten taels of gold she had stolen, was going to see that the other party was a group of children who were in urgent need of money, and when she heard the sentence "Brother Han is also stealing", she was sensitive by nature and immediately stopped.

The so-called Brother Han is not only a thief, but also lost contact for a while...... This has to be doubtful......

But......

Looking around at the big and small crying in the yard, the current situation of chaos. Ling Xue shrugged in resignation, and a light flick floated down.

"You-" The angry teenager, who was covering the injured right side of his face, was about to accuse the girl who had committed violence to him, but was distracted by the familiar figure that fell to the ground, from surprise to horror and fear. Even the child who was crying a moment ago forgot to choke at this moment, and stared straight at the mysterious person who fell from the sky.

Feeling the trembling of the dirty little black hand tugging at the hem of her clothes, Song Qiaoying, who was also surprised by Ling Xue's sudden arrival, faintly felt a little bad in her heart, and she deeply felt that the woman wearing the mask in front of her was probably the owner of the gold ingot.

After a while, she mustered up the courage to carefully hand over the gold ingots in her hand under the indifferent gaze of the other party. "I'm sorry, my brother is stubborn and has caused trouble for the woman, and I ask the woman to forgive him this time for the sake of his youth."

Looking at the sincerity and fear on Qingxiu's little face, a trace of unbearability flashed in Ling Xue's heart, she shook her head, and said her intentions straight to the point. "I'm not here for this gold ingot, but to meet your big brother Han."

"This ......"

"Brother Han is here, and we don't know where he went!" The girl named Qiao Ying was still hesitating, and Xiao Man immediately answered with a fierce face like a wolf cub who only protects food.

knew that this group of children was very vigilant, but Ling Xue didn't care about it. She grinded her tongue and repeatedly assured Qiao Ying, who was in the lead, that she had no ill will towards their eldest brother Han, and just wanted to find him to know something about the situation. The sister and brother gradually let down their guard and relented.

It's a pity that in addition to confirming that the big brother Han in their mouth is indeed a thief, and the time of disappearance coincides with the time of the theft of the palace, the children who have not seen this person for a long time have not been able to provide too many useful clues about the location of this person. However, just knowing that the other party was related to the palace theft case was already an unexpected gain for Ling Xue, who didn't have a clue half a day ago.

I used a gold ingot and some gadgets to bluff the children again and again, as long as there was news of their big brother Han, they would go to Linjiang Tower to inform themselves. Ling Xue was relieved to leave this dilapidated courtyard, but she was surprised to be happy.

And as she walked, she drew a map of the place by the way. I plan to hand it over to Qingge's enchanting free coolie painter, and ask him to pay more attention to the situation here during this time, lest these children of elves and ghosts disobey their words and miss the best time to find someone surnamed Han.

I found an inn near the post station, closed the door and repainted in the room for most of the day, Ling Xue sent the satisfactory auction building plan to the daughter by mail, and told him that he might have to cancel the agreement with the news chief.

"You've finally figured it out?" Her sudden abandonment surprised the smiling profiteer who had been dissuading her from mixing with the contradictions of power and doing business with peace of mind.

"No, I've found a better way." A good way to drive the imperial power crazy.

"Yes, offending you is bad luck for the imperial power." As a veteran businessman, Qianjin smiled lightly and knew exactly when to control her curiosity. Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions at the moment, but only deeply expressed a little verbal sympathy for the people of the imperial power.

"Thanks for the compliment." Ling Xue bent the corners of her mouth at the end of the communicator in a good mood, "I'll leave the matter of the auction house to you, big partner." ”

In order to raise funds, and to thank Qianjin Qingxiao for her great help over this period of time, regardless of the reason, and in order to better squeeze his prosperous business ability, Ling Xue divided the equity of the auction house into three pieces. Standing at the head of 50 percent, Qingge enchanted with technology and the original land accounted for 20 percent, and the daughter smiled lightly, accounting for 30 percent of the capital shares.

Although she is an iron rooster this time, she can be regarded as a big bloodletter, but in this way, as the largest shareholder, as long as she is responsible for leading the auction house on the right track, she can get away and do what she wants to do. After all, she is still very confident in the business ability of these two people.
