Chapter 157: No

Hanshui Street, not far from Hanjin Wharf, is the entire street of various merchant warehouses. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

There are those who occupy one shop, and there are those who occupy three or four shops in a row, and there are large and small warehouses.

As soon as the whole ship of Nanyang goods landed at the dock from the waterway to the dock, they let the Yao family firm give it a package, saying that it had been set a long time ago.

There is more than that, but there is also a lot of goods that the prince of the prince's mansion wants, who dares to rob it?

People who know Cao Yun, but as long as one and a half of them are almost recognized, that's enough.

It didn't take half a minute for this rumor to be heard by the person who almost knew half of it, so that the entire Hanshui Street knew it.

Yu Shi was still sitting under the verandah, but this time there was no chaise longue, she sat on a stool, chewing on the freshly baked pastries made by the gecko herself, while listening to Hong Lie's reply.

Motioning to let Hong Lie also eat the soft and delicious soft bean cake, Yu Shi saw that Hong Lie stopped here, so she asked:

"Who's that half-recognizable person? Can you find it? ”

Fortunately, Hong Lie went back to the mansion this time to do something, and he had made enough preparations, otherwise he would not have been busy until almost dusk.

Hearing Yu Shi ask like this, Hong Lie took a bite of the soft bean cake and replied a little vaguely:

"I found out, it's a man named Gongliu, who lives in ......"

"What? Work Six? Yu picked up a mouthful of almost choked, picked up the teacup on the low table on the side, poured down the remaining half cup of tea soup, and then took Hong Lie's words: "You live in Laoerjing Hutong?" ”

"Yes!" Hong Lie was a little stunned, he didn't understand why Yu Shi didn't check it.

Yu Shi's eyes rolled a few times, and then calmly leaned back on the chair, explaining a thing or two to Hong Lie:

"I've dealt with Gongliu, so I know it...... Do you know who instructed him? ”

Speaking of this, Hong Lie was so angry that his teeth itched.

Let him talk badly, coerce and lure, this worker is not afraid of death, second, not afraid of disability, third, he still has professional ethics, what to say about taking people's money and eliminating disasters from people, just three words - can't say!

Seeing that Hong Lie's eyes were on fire as he spoke, and his fists were still clenched tightly and wanted to beat people, Yu Shi smiled lightly:

"It's okay, I'll go and meet him in person at night, you don't care about it."

Hong Lie is angry, no matter how difficult it is, he has to respond.

Yu Shi asked again what kind of rare cargo was that ship of Nanyang goods, which required Cao Yun to go out and take the name of the prince?

Hong Lie said: "It's a boatload of sea pearls, big and small, the big ones are as big as fists, and the small ones are the size of rice balls, the standards are excellent, and that boat is really valuable!" ”

Yu Shi nodded and asked, "Who are you looking for about this?" ”

"It's Qiao's shopkeeper, who specializes in connecting various businesses in Chujing to buy and sell seafood, and he takes a profit commission from it!" Hong Lie said, thinking of the fat head and big ears of the shopkeeper Qiao, and added: "The higher the profit of the seafood trade involved every time, the more he will earn!" Hey, this old boy! is really good at trading, and it relies on such a broken mouth! ”

"If it's really a broken mouth, then you can still make a name for yourself in Chu Jing, which is full of talents?" Yu Shi sour Hong Lie said.

Hong Lie laughed.

He also knew that he was not used to seeing some people who were unofficial, so he casually buried a sentence about Qiao's shopkeeper's broken mouth.

But I really want to, Shopkeeper Qiao was really prosperous that day, and he was even more comfortable than he was an official!

He couldn't help but bury it.

It's also that he can't eat grapes and thinks the grapes are sour, but he didn't expect to let Yu Shi sour back.

Yu Shi said: "The prince wants such a shipload of sea goods, and Cao Yun personally went to see the goods, can he find out three, five or six?" ”

Hong Lie thought for a while and said: "At that time, our people were on the upper floor opposite the Yao family store, and looking down from the second floor, we could just see the scene in the small courtyard on the side of the Yao family store......

Yao's warehouse is three rooms wide, occupying three shops, two of which go straight to the innermost goods warehouse, and one on the side is open to ventilation, not as tight as the other two, with a small courtyard in front of it, and a small courtyard in the back, which can be comfortably stayed when the master comes to settle accounts.

In the courtyard of the courtyard, two large sturdy wooden tables are put together, and in addition to various pastries and teas, there are three boxes on the table.

The three boxes were neither big nor small, larger than an adult man's slap.

Cao Yun sat at the table, holding a celadon tea bowl and slowly sipping tea, looking very enjoyable, thinking that the tea soup met his appetite.

It was Yao Zenghao who first figured out Cao Yun's preferences, prescribed the right medicine, and waited for Cao Yun comfortably.

Hong Lie said: "Those three boxes are full of pearls, three pearls of different sizes and colors!" ”

Two of the boxes are the box as big as a fist and the other as small as rice balls, both of which are ordinary white sea pearls, and the last box is amazing, and it is really eye-catching!

Yu Shi was curious: "What kind of pearl is it?" ”

Hong Lie's face returned to the look of amazement and admiration when he first saw it:

"Conch Pearl!"

"Conch pearls?" Yu Shi muttered, remembering that she had seen it in her previous life.

Conch pearls are usually pink, sometimes white or brown, oval, with unique flame traces on the surface, symmetrical texture on both sides, because of the bright and noble, but also full of girlish pink, so it is very popular with noble ladies.

She remembered seeing conch pearls of other colors in her previous life, which seemed to be gray-green.

It's been so long that she can't remember it well.

I only remember that there was a time when the royal brother rushed to her bedroom and offered her a treasure like holding some strange thing, and she was indeed very happy that time.

Giggled with laughter, and the whole dormitory was filled with her laughter.

"This last box of conch pearls is generally big, about the size of my thumb cover, I can't hear their words clearly, but I probably know that the uncle of the Yao family is explaining to Cao Yun that the conch pearls are rare to see the best color, and it is also rare to have a uniform size!" Hong Lie thought about it carefully, with hesitation: "Uncle Yao will gesture with his hands, as if he is talking about what can be done......

No matter what it is made, it will have to fall into the hands of the prince.

And the prince must be useful for using these pearls, so I don't know where to use them?

"No matter what they want to do, you will send someone to keep an eye on it, and report it as soon as there is news, and there will be ...... the prince's mansion" Yu Shi hesitated when she said this, and the words were broken, and after a pause, she changed her original idea: "The prince's mansion can't be stared, if you stare at it, it will be endless, you go to investigate, and in the end, there is something big in Beijing." ”

Hong Lie was a little puzzled: "Big deal? ”

Yu Shi said: "Yes! For big things, you can also start with what good things are in Beijing, and you should be able to inquire about some signs. ”

After Hong Lie took the order to leave, the gecko came out and sat on the edge of the jade pick, still holding a pot of freshly brewed tea in his hand, and replaced the pot of tea that had cooled.

"Miss Xiang Zhai said that it was sent at night, but did you say the exact time?" Jade picks up geckos.

Gecko shook his head: "I didn't say it, but if you have something to do, I can wait here." ”

Yu Shi thought it was okay, so he nodded and said okay.

At night, Yushi set off for the alley.

Coming to this alley again, Yu Shi went straight to Gongliu's room, which was very familiar.

When Gongliu was not at home, Yu Shi tried to push the door, but he didn't expect it to be pushed open.

After entering, Yu Shi soon found a note on the table, which was to the effect that she should go to the golden jade hall on Yu'er Street.

Yu Shi looked at the first sentence of the title on the note specially left by Gong Liu, and looked intently at the title of the four words - Lord Qianhu!

Gongliu actually knew that she had secretly returned to Chu Jing, and she thought it was really interesting.

As the sixth wish, she soon went to the Jing family gambling visit where she and Jing Xiangxiang first met.

Looking at the gold-lettered signboard on the top, Yu Shi took a stride and walked in.

Although Xiang Zhai has not yet gotten the face she has made, she blends into the crowd in ordinary disguise, so that people cannot easily recognize her as a thousand households in brocade clothes and jade, but it is still more than enough.

Gongliu shouted at the edge of the table, he pressed small, but the result was big.

When he turned around with a dejected face, he saw a middle-aged man staring straight at him.

Yu Shi's outfit was still learned from Lin Chong before, and the hawthorn was stained on her face without leaving any residue, covering most of her face, and her skin was deliberately coated with black powder, and she was paired with a pair of sword eyebrows painted black.

If she doesn't have a fierce expression at the moment, just the gaze that is directly nailed to Gong Liu's face is enough for Gong Liu to be scared.

Gongliu is also smart and understands quickly, Chong Yushi smiled and said unexpectedly.

As soon as the two of them came out of the golden and jade house, Gongliu found a small stall selling night wontons nearby and sat down.

Yu Shi also sat down, and Ren Gongliu ordered two large bowls of wontons.

After eating most of the bowl of wontons, Gong Liu opened his mouth:

"I thought you would look for me early, but I didn't expect it to be past the time for dinner, you haven't come yet, and I don't have the money to fill my stomach, so I had to think about fighting first, but I didn't expect ......"

"I didn't expect my luck to be very good." Yu Shi took the words lightly, and didn't mind Gong Liu calling you directly, you really shouldn't call Lord Qianhu at this time.

At the mention of luck, Gongliu felt even hungrier, raised his voice and called for another big bowl of wontons, and said to Yu Shi with a shy face:

"You have to invite this ravioli!"

All use your honorific title, and Yushi has no choice but to respond.

But halfway through, she suddenly remembered something very important.

After reaching out and touching the left and right on his body, Yu Shi looked at Gongliu who was still gobbling up with a little embarrassment, and lowered the voice that was enough for the stall owner to hear:

"That...... I think I've forgotten my money bag again......"

Gongliu was immediately choked, coughing more than a dozen times in a row, and his face changed color.

Seeing this, Yu Shi calmed down, anyway, she didn't do this kind of thing before, it's not a big deal.

Gongliu finally relieved himself: "You forgot ......"

Halfway through the conversation, Gong Liu swallowed it back again, seeing that the stall owner over there didn't notice the abnormality of the two of them, he leaned into the center of the table, tried to get close to Yu Shi on the other side of the table, and lowered his voice by an octave again:

"What then? Senho-sama! ”

Yu Shi also leaned closer to Gongliu's side, and replied indifferently with two words:

"It's fine."

It's okay?

That's it?

Gongliu couldn't believe it!

Could it be that thousands of households with jade noodles are addicted to paying for food with knives?

"You haven't forgotten that you're going to be different, aren't you?" As he spoke, Gong Liu looked around again, and when he saw that there was no suspicious person, he said: "You are secretly returning to Beijing, you can't use the embroidered spring knife as silver anymore!" ”

Hearing Gong Liu's reminder, Yu Shi made an expression that I knew, and then slowly sat up straight:

"I said rest assured, rest assured, someone will come to the rescue."

Gecko was sent to her, she must first do an investigation to understand her, and she was not afraid of gecko investigating her, she estimated that when she was investigating the assassination of Ma Ye, Zhang Dongsheng should have investigated her.

So she thinks that gecko, who always forgets to carry her money bag, should know about it.

And the gecko is a good girl with both intelligence and beauty, you must think that she forgot to bring her money bag.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Gecko didn't think of it for a while, when Xiang Zhai, who has been her informant for a long time, heard that she was out on the street, she should also think of this stubble.

There were two big beauties here, and she felt that she really had nothing to worry about.

They will definitely show up in time to relieve her of her embarrassment.

As for the embroidered spring knife, Yu Shi motioned to Gong Liu to look at her left and right:

"I don't have any knives with me, even if I want to use them for silver, I don't have to."

Gong Liu really followed Yu Shi's hand and looked left and right, and really found that Yu Shi didn't talk about embroidering spring knives, and no one could recognize that this middle-aged man's outfit was actually a brocade guard!

As for the fact that he was able to recognize it in the gambling house before, it was thanks to the fact that after Yu Shi startled him a little, he quietly took out the note he had specially left in his sleeve pocket, otherwise he would not have recognized Yu Shi either.

At this point, Gongliu felt that no matter how much he was afraid of losing face and throwing it on the edge of the alley, it would be useless, so he simply followed Yushi and continued to eat wontons.

It's just that Yushi eats slowly and methodically, and is so elegant that he doesn't look like a rough man with a beard and cheeks, but he eats a table full of soup, like a hungry ghost who hasn't eaten for hundreds of years and is reincarnated.

Angry, Yu Shi looked at eating slowly, but the speed at which the wontons in the bowl disappeared was not slow, and the direct teacher was a little stunned.

After eating almost, Yu Shi put down her chopsticks and motioned for Gong Liu to continue eating, and she began to ask:

"How did you know I was coming for you?"

Gongliu chewed and swallowed the wonton in his mouth, and then drank a big mouthful of soup before he said:

"As soon as you entered the gates, I knew it, and I knew that you had brought back a girl...... Hehe, I've only seen that girl from afar, it's so beautiful! But that girl is just as good as you, and I don't dare get too close for fear of being discovered! ”

Yu Shi asked again: "I happened to find it, or ......?"

She may not have said the latter one, but her beautiful eyes have narrowed, flashing with a dangerous cold light.

At the beginning of Gong Liu, he didn't raise his eyes, and inadvertently raised a wrong eye, which scared his hand holding the chopsticks and shook it, and instantly told the truth:

"Someone paid a hundred taels of gold to buy your whereabouts, saying that you might return to Beijing, let me keep an eye on you since you returned to Beijing! I didn't answer! (To be continued.) )
