Shen Shu was so straight to the point, Cheng Lan was only surprised, but he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Shen Shu heard that he didn't speak immediately, so he asked again: "But is it for the sake of the wine shop?" ”

Cheng Lan was surprised when he saw her say it, but he also simply responded: "Yes, the words of the wine shop are very helpful to me, and I came this time because of curiosity." I wonder why the girl knows where the clues are? ”

Shen Shu smiled slightly and said: "Since you are a fast catcher, you will naturally know that this provides clues, not necessarily to tell where the clues came from, this is a safe way for both parties, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no clues to give in the future." Now that you ask me, I can only say that I have my own methods, because Cheng Zhukuai is kind to Yu'er, so I will provide clues to Cheng Zhukuai, and that's it. ”

Cheng Lan heard that she didn't want to say anything in the future, but she also smiled openly. In that case, she was just an irrelevant person, and there was really no reason to say it.

"If that's the case, then thank you girl for your guidance this time."

"Cheng Zhu is almost polite." Shen Shu bowed slightly.

There was silence in the room.

Since Shen Shu was reluctant to speak, Cheng Lan was about to leave, but Shen Shu spoke again: "I don't know if Cheng Shu will be in the future, but do you need other clues?" ”

Cheng Lan was very surprised when he heard this. He thought that this time it was only Shen Shu who happened to know about this matter and told him, which helped him. Unbeknownst to him, she told him that she might have other clues.

He couldn't help but revisit the girl. I saw her sitting at the table, her eyes fixed on the front, looking at the weakness of the body, but there was a kind of stubbornness and composure in the body.

"What is the clue you are talking about?"

Shen Shu did not answer directly: "Within the yamen, there should be a lot of public cases. ”

"It's nature." He suddenly understood what she meant.

Thinking about this girl, it's not as simple as she seems.

He pondered for a while, then said, "If the clues are useful, of course they are needed. He paused, then asked, "So, what does Miss Shen need?" ”

Since she is not so simple, then, she must have a plan, and she will never give him clues in vain like this time.

"I don't need much, but it's not a lot." Shen Shu said lightly: "It just depends on whether Cheng Yu can afford it." ”

"How much?"

"One hundred taels per clue." Shen Shu said slowly.

"What?" Cheng Lan was shocked, his monthly salary was only ten taels, and one clue from her was one hundred taels!

"It's a little too expensive."

"It doesn't matter." Shen Shu said: "If Cheng Zhukuai can't accept it, isn't there still a yamen?" ”

Cheng Lan heard this, and after thinking about it, what Shen Shu said was not unreasonable. If the yamen came out, the hundred taels of silver would not be unaffordable.

"It depends on whether the lead is worth the price." Cheng Lan said.

"And how about this one this time?" Shen Shu asked slowly.

Cheng Lan was stunned, this time her fluttering words were indeed a relief for him. The case was solved, and his crisis was resolved.

It's just that the result after solving the case is not satisfactory. After he comes back from his errand, I am afraid that Governor Zhang will not be willing to see him, and his future promotion will only be difficult.

However, if it is......

Cheng Lan suddenly had an idea in his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, I'll come to you when I need a clue."

"Okay." There was no surprise on Shen Shu's face, and he only nodded.

"In addition, now I have a clue to provide to Cheng Zhukuai, and I don't need silver taels in exchange."

"You mean the thieves in the alley?"

Shen Shu nodded and said, "That fugitive thief should be hiding in the poor gathering place in the east of the city now. ”

A ghetto in the east of the city? This range is small, and it is much easier to find. Although this hurtful case is not a big case, it is naturally the icing on the cake when someone is caught.

"Cheng knows, so he will leave first."

Cheng Lan strode out the door.

"Miss." Yu'er's voice sounded: "Why do you want to talk to Cheng Zhu about exchanging a hundred taels for clues?" Are you completely sure about this? ”

Shen Shu was silent for a while, and said, "It should be okay." ”

Yu'er was silent for a moment, and then said, "Miss, when I was listening to you just now, I suddenly remembered something. ”

Shen Shu asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu'er said: "A long time ago, I heard my mother say something that happened on the day you were born. ”

"The day I was born?" Shen Shu wondered, why had she never heard of anything special on the day she was born?

"Yes." Yu'er nodded. "My mother told me that a sloppy Taoist came to the gate of Shen Mansion that day to beg for saliva to drink. The maid at the door gave him a bowl of water, and when he saw that he was extremely thin, he took pity on him and gave him two steamed buns. The chief drank the water, ate the steamed buns, and asked slowly, is there a happy event in the house? The maid said that there was indeed a happy event, and a child was about to be born. He shook his head and said that this may not be a happy event, but it may also be a mixture of joy and sorrow. The maid was shocked and asked why she said this, and the Taoist chief said a few words. ”

Yu'er thought hard and said slowly: "Those few words seem to be 'I have never had two blank eyes, but I taught my relatives to break my bowels; Spring comes to the jasper exhibition, and the fire reflects the rising sun; In the summer, the stars are shining and the clouds are changing, and the sky is full of bells; The dragon clouds rise all over the place, endowed with the fragrance of the far and far. ’
