When she walked out of Mei's house, she inquired all the way and walked towards Jin Mantang. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Jinmantang is located on Chaoyang Road, the most prosperous street in Beijing, and it is not difficult to find.

After a while, a three-storey building, covering an area of eight rooms, full of eaves and arches, golden brilliance appeared in front of you, and the three big characters of "Jinmantang" cast in real gold on the door showed the style and dignity.

However, Shen Yueran didn't have time to appreciate its magnanimity, because Jin Mantang was about to close.

She hurriedly stepped into the threshold, only to find that the huge shop was neat and clean, and there was no one there.

She couldn't help but be stunned when a man's voice came from behind her.

"Miss, Jin Mantang is closing, why do you need to come back tomorrow."

Shen Yueran turned around, and a man in a frost-white lock-trimmed silk cloud thunder pattern brocade robe walked slowly.

The man held a paper basket in his hand, his body was thin and his face was soft.

"You—" Shen Yueran looked him up and down.

It doesn't look like the clothes are working in Jinmantang, but they look like people from the Zhou family, but how can the people of the Zhou family go out to dump dirt in person?

The man smiled at her and said, "Is the young lady here to see the gold goods, or is she here to find someone?" ”

Shen Yueran came back to her senses and pretended to be calm, "I'm here to see the gold goods, and I'm also here to find someone." ”

That's what she had in mind.

Since the package containing the gold leaf bowl handled Bai Shigang, Shen Rihui and Zhao Anyang respectively, as long as the habitual knotting method of the three can be found separately, and then compared with the knots on the original package, the clues may be found. Bai Shigang has been taking care of Jin Mantang's vault for a long time, and he will definitely leave knots on Jin Mantang's package.

Whenever she could, she gave it a try.

"Oh." The man answered, then walked over to the counter and waited for her to continue.

She was just about to speak, when a small worker ran out of the back warehouse.

"Third Young Master, can you go?" The worker bowed to the man for instructions.

Third Young Master? That Zhou family's concubine called Anze?

Shen Yueran wanted to remain silent, but she couldn't help but glance at it.

Described as handsome, there is a sense of elegance in his gestures, but he is a concubine who jokes about the old men in the capital, and the man's romantic debts.

Unexpectedly, this glance was caught by Zhou Anze.

Zhou An looked at her with a smile, and said to the worker, "You go first, there is a distinguished guest here who needs to be greeted, and I will leave the closing matter to me." ”

Xiao Gong thanked him and left, and there were only two people in the huge storefront, Shen Yueran and Zhou Anze.

Shen Yueran felt a burst of embarrassment, she was already a little weak, plus the glance just now-

The flush in front of her was deeper.

"Butler Bai asked me to come to Jinmantang today to pick up the package." She decided to do it quickly and describe the "facts" as briefly as possible.

"Oh, there's a paper deed?" Zhou An asked.

“…… Yes, but I was in a hurry, and the paper deed fell to the white butler. I don't know if the white housekeeper is free now, let him come out and ask. She knew that it was impossible for Bai Shigang to come out to see her, so she deliberately said so.

Sure enough, Zhou An didn't ask any more.

He said, "Wait a minute, the packages booked by the guests are in the back warehouse, I'll take a look." Then he lifted the curtain and walked away.

Shen Yueran tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and thought silently in her heart, just one look, just one look, just one glance at Bai Shigang's knot and twist his head and leave.

After a while, Zhou An came out of the back warehouse, but his hands were empty.

He said guiltily, "In time for the Chinese New Year, there are a lot of packages booked by guests in the back warehouse, I really can't tell which one is the package that Miss said, and the white housekeeper is not here at this time, so it's better for Miss to go back first and pick it up another day." ”

Come back another day?

Is it possible to find evidence to investigate the case another day?

Shen Yueran squeezed out a smile on her face, and said flatteringly, "Third Young Master, don't let me go home empty-handed when everyone is here, please go and take a look again, it's such a big and tall package, it's easy to find." ”

She gestured wildly.

Zhou An looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't help, but there are too many packages in the back warehouse, in case it is messed up, it is not easy to clean up, or-"

"What?" Shen Yueran asked.

"Why don't you come with me to the back warehouse and have a look?" Zhou An said.

"Me? Go to the back warehouse? Shen Yueran was surprised.

"You can see your own things at a glance, so you don't have to rummage around. Anyway, there is no one in the store at this time, and the young lady is a regular customer of the white butler. However, if the young lady finds it inconvenient, it is better to go back first and pick it up another day. Zhou An explained.

The words are good, but she is a woman......

Shen Yueran hesitated, and looked outside the door, the sunset in the West Mountain, it was all time.

Shen Rihui was tormented even if he stayed in prison for a while.

She pursed her lips and said, "There is Third Young Master Lao." ”

******

Jin Mantang's back warehouse was bigger than she expected, large and small, high and low boxes were neatly and orderly, dozens of wheelbarrows were lined up, stacks of ledgers were piled up, but the most striking thing was the dozens of abacus hanging on the four walls.

Each abacus looks old, and every abacus is shiny.

Imagining the busy scene of the shopkeeper of the back warehouse in the daytime with an abacus in his hand, crackling and constantly counting out the warehouse, entering the warehouse, calculating the account and entering the account, Shen Yueran couldn't help but sigh, Jin Mantang is the first gold in the capital, and it really deserves its name.

"Well, there's the counter where the packages are stored, and they've all been taken out of the vault and bandaged by the white butler." Zhou An pointed to the corner.

Shen Yueran retracted her thoughts and said again, "There is the third young master Lao." ”

She walked over to the counter and bent down to take a closer look at the package.

Each box is wrapped in red brocade, and then tied with red forging bundles, like a blooming flower.

She looked closer, double knot, double knot, double knot......

Each package is tied with a double buckle.

The double buckle knot type is simple and beautiful, small and not easy to loosen, and the name contains a "double" word, which means auspicious, and is the best choice for wrapping knots.

In this way, the white housekeeper should also tie a double knot on the package given to the prince!

For Shen Rihui, who can't tie a thread, of course he won't tie a double buckle.

So, as long as Zhao Anyang, who is proficient in all kinds of knots, can prove that when he got the package, the package was still tied with a double knot, wouldn't Shen Rihui's suspicion be cleared?

We must quickly tell this clue to Lord Wei!

She turned around happily and bumped into Zhou Anze, who was standing behind her at some point, and even the abacus in Zhou Anze's hand flew out.

She was caught off guard and unsteady on her feet, leaning over the package containing gold ornaments on the counter.

Seeing that the package was crumbling, Zhou An shouted "Be careful", he pushed Shen Yueran away and protected the package with his body.

Shen Yueran, who had not stood firmly, was thrown away by him, and rushed forward with his strength, but stepped on a slippery calculation under his feet.

Fortunately, the center of gravity that she had just recovered was lost again, and she slipped heavily to the ground with a snort, unable to move. (There are three more chapters in the evening:) for three consecutive days, I ask for the first order! Thank you dear! (To be continued.) )
