The store in front of the cloth village is not small, the back yard is larger, the three of us walked to the backyard with the shopkeeper, and then we were introduced into a large hall, as soon as we walked into the hall, the shopkeeper beckoned the next person to bring tea, and the three of us were not polite, and sat down and drank the tea.

The shopkeeper sat down in the hall, raised his head to look at the three of us, and said softly: "Three guest officers, for us businessmen, the most taboo is to tell others the surname of the merchant official, even if the person who came to buy the cloth did not tell him, our cloth village will follow these rules, but the guest officer's transaction is strange, the person who paid the money has never met with the guest officer, and let Zai Xia not reveal her identity, so it is really difficult to ...... Xia." ”

The shopkeeper is also extremely reasonable, the person who does business pays attention to an integrity, to keep the customer's personal information, can not easily leak half a point, but we come to buy cloth is someone else's silver, so we will track down who the person who pays, this is a special situation.

The shopkeeper said for a moment, and then said: "After thinking about it, since I have promised that the person who paid the bill cannot tell her identity, but it has not stopped the others in the store from saying it, so let me tell the guest officer in the shop!" As he spoke, he waved his hand to the subordinate, and the subordinate understood, turned around and walked towards the Buzhuang store.

In fact, the shopkeeper's trick is also a coincidence, I remember reading a book in my last life, the book said that someone asked another person to keep a secret, can not say it, but the person who listened to the secret has been begged by others, want to know what the secret is, the person thought about it and came up with a way, since it was not allowed to say but did not say that it was not allowed to write, so he looked for someone to find a pen and paper, and wrote the secret on the paper, which is also regarded as keeping the promise.

As soon as the cloth boy walked into the hall, Mo Lu didn't want to embarrass the shopkeeper, so he asked, "Do you know what the man who paid for the clothes of the four of us looks like?" ”

When Bu Tong heard this, he was suddenly a little stunned, and turned his head to look at the shopkeeper, who didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

The cloth boy got the meaning of the shopkeeper, thought for a while and said: "Yesterday afternoon I was busy, I saw a woman walk into the cloth village, I was busy asking her what kind of cloth to buy, she said not to buy cloth, just to find our shop shopkeeper, so I led her to find the shopkeeper, she saw the shopkeeper took out the silver from her arms, said that she wanted to pay silver for a son with a waist jade with Xu Zi hanging on his waist, and said that a total of four people with the same person, just make four sets of clothes, the shopkeeper said that each set of clothes ten taels of silver, a total of forty taels, The woman didn't say much, took out a silver ingot of fifty taels and gave it to the shopkeeper, and then told her that she could not tell her identity to the boy who had come to make clothes, and then turned and left! ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......." When the cloth boy said that the woman took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper on the side coughed unnaturally twice.

I glanced at the shopkeeper, and couldn't help but scold in my heart: What a profiteer, just now I thought that why would he give us ten taels of silver for no reason, dare to give us silver after giving us a profit, and can also get a good reputation, this transaction is really only profitable!

After listening to Bu Tong's words, Mo Lu thought for a while and asked, "What does that woman look like?" ”

"Dressed in black, with a long sword on his back!" Bu Tong replied: "But she can't see her appearance clearly, and her face is covered with a black veil!" ”

"How tall is it?" Mo Lu asked again.

Bu Tong turned his eyes to look at Yue'er and raised his hand to point: "It's about the same height as this young lady." ”

Mo Lu nodded slightly.

Yue'er pretended to look at me unintentionally, looking at her eyes, I understood what she meant, she wanted to ask me if I knew that there was such a woman in Ludao? I shook my head quietly and told her that I didn't know there was such a person in the road.

Yue'er looked at Bu Tong and asked softly, "Then did she come back later?" ”

Bu Tong shook his head, "No." Then he added: "But when it closed last night, a man dressed in black came to ask, and asked me if I had seen a boy with a jade waist on his waist?"

"And what did you say?" The shopkeeper obviously didn't know about it, so he couldn't help but ask.

Bu Tong turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper with an innocent face, and said softly: "I said that I had come, but he asked when he would come again, so I told him that he would come again today, and the man turned around and left when he heard it!" ”

Mo Lu turned his eyes to look at the shopkeeper and asked softly, "Shopkeeper, did someone come to look for us early this morning?" ”

"Not yet!" The shopkeeper shook his head as if determined.

As soon as his words fell, someone rushed into the hall, saying that someone was looking for him, and the shopkeeper was puzzled, so he got up and walked towards the Buzhuang store.

The three of us got up and followed us out of the hall.

As soon as the shopkeeper walked into the store, he said loudly, "Who is looking for me?" ”

"You're the shopkeeper?" A figure stepped forward and looked the shopkeeper up and down.

The figure was dressed in brocade and silk, and at a glance, he knew that only princes and nobles could afford to wear it, his hair was combed extremely neatly, his eyebrows were clearly distinguished, his hands were white and tender, and he could see that he had never done rough work, and a pair of cloth shoes embroidered with gold wire edges and inlaid pearls on his feet were even more spotless, and he was only about twenty years old, how could such a boy come to this cloth village in person early in the morning? !

The shopkeeper also noticed this person's attire, and replied, "Exactly, I don't know what happened to the guest officer?" ”

The man saw us following the shopkeeper at a glance, then raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper, and said softly: "I am a person in the Ming Wang's mansion, and I have a question, I wonder if the shopkeeper can tell me?" ”

"It turned out to be from the Ming Palace, I don't know what I want to ask?" In the end, the shopkeeper who has seen the world just smiled slightly, and the response was light.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, has a son surnamed Bi come to Buzhuang to make clothes these days?" The man asked.

When I heard this, I immediately frowned, and even Mo Lu and Yue'er on the side frowned slightly, surnamed Bi, isn't that me, besides me, which son surnamed Bi will personally come to Buzhuang to cut clothes? But I'm worried about this person's IQ, who comes to Buzhuang to buy cloth and make clothes, and doesn't say anything, just say who his surname is, do you really think this is checking the household registration at the police station?

The shopkeeper frowned slightly, and replied softly: "I'm really sorry, the person who came to buy cloth in my cloth village didn't report his name, so the son surnamed Bi you said didn't know if I had seen it." ”

The man opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, business was like this, even if he was looking for someone, he didn't look for someone like him, and the man turned around and left.

When I saw that he was leaving, I hurriedly gave Mo Lu a look, Mo Lu understood, and opened his mouth to call out to him, "This son ......." ”

The man stopped and turned to look at us, and when he saw that it was an old man, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "This old gentleman, what advice do you have?" ”

"Are you looking for a son surnamed Bi?" Mo Lu asked.

"Not bad!" The man nodded.

"Dare to ask who is looking for him in the Ming Palace?" Mo Lu asked again.

"My young lady." The man replied simply.

"Your young lady?" Mo Lu repeated.

"That's right," the man nodded again, and before Mo Lu could speak again, he explained, "My young lady once had a relationship with Nabi Gongzi, and she knew that Nabi Gongzi would arrive in the capital in the near future, so she sent me out to look for it." ”

"Hmm!" Mo Lu nodded slightly, "I hope you can find it successfully." ”

"Thank you!" The man clenched his fists, turned and left the village.

The shopkeeper listened to Mo Lu and the man's questions and answers, turned his head to look at Mo Lu in confusion, and said after a while: "Guest officer, you seem to know the Bi Gongzi ...... in his mouth." ”

"I don't know, I'm just asking!" Mo Lu shook his head, "Shopkeeper, since the clothes are ready, then we should also say goodbye, but there is still a word below." ”

"Guest officer, please speak!" The shopkeeper said modestly.

"If anyone comes to look for my son-in-law, please let him know that you don't know, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!" Mo Lu looked at him and said.

"Definitely, definitely......!" The shopkeeper answered.

That's how the three of us left the cloth village.
