Ah Chou thought for a moment, made a decision, turned around and changed his route, and walked towards the Shangshan Pavilion of Qian County.

When he went to Huainan with Xu Tai, Ah Chou learned a lot about the world in Qingmeng, and asked almost every place when he was a little unclear, regardless of whether Qingmeng thought she didn't know.

Now that I think about it, it's hard for people to clear their dreams.

The business done by Shangshan Pavilion surprised Ah Chou. I've heard of people selling intelligence and murder before, but I've never heard of Shangshan Pavilion doing business like this.

To put it simply, there are many rules.

The word "goodness" proves that the cabinet master has principles and does not do everything. But as long as it is beneficial to the common people, eliminating evil and promoting good, the Shangshan Pavilion will not refuse, no matter what the nature of the matter. If it is detrimental to the common people, it is untenable in the side of justice, and the person who comes to entrust it is afraid that he will not want to get out alive.

In addition, if you want to go to the Shan Pavilion to do things, the silver is far from enough, and you must also promise the pavilion master to complete the required things. As for what it is, it varies from person to person and from one commission to another, but in short, it will not be left to you to sit back and enjoy it. The phrase hanging in the center of the main hall is: Everything has a price.

There is a price, not just a price. Sometimes the things proposed are in line with the wishes of the cabinet master, and they don't even have to collect the silver, but the price is never less.

For example, it is rumored that there was a man who asked for the killing of a corrupt official. This matter was in line with the owner's wishes, and half of the copper coin was confiscated, but the price proposed by the Shangshan Pavilion was to ask the client to sign a contract to bear the responsibility for the murder and support the corrupt official's family. The reason is simple: lynching is not right in the first place, and someone must bear the responsibility; Secondly, his family is innocent, but he will lose his backbone and main source of livelihood because of this, which is also responsible.

What happened to this later, Ah Chou does not know.

Now she wants to go to the Pavilion of Kindness to accomplish something. It's not murder and arson, so you don't have to worry about the cost. What's more, if the price is too big and the deal fails, she will just leave, as long as she doesn't do anything hurtful, the rules of Shangshan Pavilion will not force her to stay. If you come to this world, you will also have to see the mysterious Shangshan Pavilion.

Shangshan Pavilion is located in a very inconspicuous alley, and the storefront is very small, just the appearance of a [1]. There is no signboard on the door. Only on the side is a black flag with a white symbol drawn, somewhat similar to the word "water" in the oracle bone inscription.

When Ah Chou approached, he saw that the two wooden doors were closed, so he tentatively stepped forward and knocked.

"Squeak". The wooden door opened, and an old woman poked her head out. looked at the ugly with a smile: "Girl." What's the matter? ”

At that moment, Ah Chou had an illusion: this was not a mysterious and mysterious Shangshan Pavilion at all, but an ordinary house.

But the flag on the side can't deceive her, and inconspicuousness is the best protection, isn't it? Otherwise, such a weird and powerful Shangshan Pavilion. Isn't it just a colorful target, at the mercy of others?

After thinking about it, Ah Chou regained a little calm: "I'll come to Shangshan Pavilion." ”

"Girl, wait a moment." The old lady said kindly and closed the door again.

Ah Ugly doesn't know why, but I just think the rules are too much. But since you have arrived at other people's territory, how can there be any reason not to act according to other people's rules? So they waited where they were.

After a while, the door opened again, but it was replaced by a masked man: "The girl came in with me." "The voice is low and dull, and if you hear it wrong, you think it's a bad person who traffics in human beings.

Ugly blinked his clear eyes under the veil: It's all here, you can't pass without entering, right? I simply took the courage to keep up with the man's footsteps.

The room was dimly lit, and the furnishings looked very old and seemed to have a thin layer of dust. There is a calligraphy hanging in the center, which is written "everything has a price", and the pen is majestic, which is incompatible with such a simple and old decoration. Walking up the creaking wooden staircase, Ugly watched the steps that seemed to be unable to bear the weight bounce up and down, and he was really worried that it would suddenly burst and collapse.

When I finally walked the last step of the stairs, I was greeted by an old wooden table and two chairs of the same color, and I couldn't tell that this was the vast Shangshan Pavilion with great powers.

Sitting down on a chair, the masked man handed over a piece of paper: "This is our rule." ”

Ah Chou took it and looked at it, it was the same as what Qingmeng said before, but there were a few things that Qingmeng had never mentioned:

Don't ask how the goal was achieved; The fastest reply time is immediate, and the latest reply time is three days; The completion time of the task is negotiated according to the degree of difficulty; Only sign the white deed.

Ah Chou thought to himself: It seems that the authority management is also doing a good job, and some tasks are not decided by the people below. It is also a good system to have a deadline for the completion of tasks. However, the white deed ......

"Only sign a white deed?" Ugly wondered.

"Yes, Shangshan Pavilion only signs a white deed and does not hand it over to the government for the record, which also means keeping the guest confidential. But although the girl was relieved, Shangshan Pavilion never broke her promise to do it. The masked man replied.

Ugly raised his eyebrows: "Then what if the guests can't do it?" "The credibility of Shangshan Pavilion will probably not be a problem, but as for the credibility of the guests, it is difficult to say.

The masked man was a little amused: "Girl, will Shangshan Pavilion sit still?" ”

"It's me who is worried!" Ugly shook his head and laughed at himself.

"What's the matter with the girl?" The masked man put away the list and began to get down to business.

Ah Chou smiled indifferently: "My order, it's not difficult, I just need you to give the information of the largest pharmacists in Daqian." ”

"What kind of situation do you want?" The masked man asked.

"Who drove it, what is the strength, who is the backer, the internal situation of the family, and the main source of goods." Ugly lists keywords.

The masked man pondered for a moment: "This order, I will give an answer in three days." ”

Ah Ugly couldn't help but be surprised: Three days later? Isn't competitor research the most common thing to do? In modern times, it is a credit investigation, at most a private detective investigation, and naturally many companies have informants from their opponents, which is a different matter. It's not hard to decide whether or not to accept such an investigation.

"Why three days later?" Ugly bluntly expressed his doubts.

As the girl said, this single is not difficult. But pricing is not about what is said below. The masked man replied a little stiffly, as if reading a textbook.

Ah Chou only understood a little, and this reason is not false. Three days, I can still afford to wait: "Okay, I'll come back in three days." ”

At dusk, Ah Chou returned home, and as soon as he entered the door, Grandma Xu stepped forward to help Ah Chou with his things: "It's okay today, right?" ”

"Grandma, it's okay, I just saw Mr. Mo and helped his cousin heal." Ugly replied as he cleaned up.

"Mo Gongzi's cousin? What disease? Grandma Xu's somewhat cloudy eyes were overflowing with concern.

"It's not a major symptom," Ugly patted Grandma Xu's hand, "I prescribed medicine, but it will be better in more than a month." Grandma cares so much, Ugly is going to be jealous! She pouted and coquettishly.

Grandma Xu smiled: "Master Mo is a good person, of course grandma hopes that his good people will be rewarded, and his family will be safe and sound!" By the way, Fang Cai Ding Juwen came to you, and he didn't say anything when I asked him anything, only this one. Grandma Xu said and handed over a box.

When Ah Chou heard the words "Ding Juwen", his eyebrows furrowed under the veil, and he didn't want to take the box anymore. It's just that grandma can see that it's weird, and it's getting worse and worse.

Stretched out his hand to take it and opened the box, but it made Ugly cry and laugh - a toad was carved on the lid of the box, and a wooden hairpin in the style of osmanthus was lying quietly in the box.

What does he mean? Pass muster?

He won the crown in the Toad Palace, what does it matter to her? Why did you give it to her?

Or is it that the Toad Palace folds the laurel, and the folded gui is going to be given to her?

Ah Chou almost looked at the sky speechless at 45 degrees: Children's shoes, can you be a little more literary?

It's just that no matter what it means, it won't be what Ah Chou likes to see, so he still has to find a time to return it to him.

Grandma Xu seemed to have seen that something was wrong with the ugly: "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he turned his head sideways and saw what was in Ugly's hand.

Ah Chou put the box on the table: "Grandma, it's nothing, Brother Ding's brain is too complicated, I'm stupid, I can't understand his thoughts." ”

Grandma Xu smiled a little ambiguously: "You Nizi, are there any times when you are stumped?" ”

Ah Chou knew that his grandmother was from the past, how could he not see the clues, even if he couldn't understand the meaning of the box, he would guess something.

"Ugly," Grandma Xu's tone suddenly became serious, and she was a little hesitant, "Juwen this kid, I look at it, it's actually good, you ......"

"Grandma, I hope that you can let me decide for myself in this regard," Ugly said seriously, "It doesn't matter whether he is wrong or not, what matters is whether it is suitable or not." She said, spreading her hair and untying her veil.

When her fingers touched the criss-crossed scars, she had long accepted and gotten used to them, and she was no longer frightened. It's just that she accepts and gets used to it, it doesn't mean that others accept and get used to it. Even if Ding Juwen accepts and gets used to it, what about the others? What will happen to Aunt Ding, what will happen to his friends and even future colleagues?

Dislike, ridicule, ridicule...... If she doesn't care, he can not care? Besides, she didn't want to get in his way.

"Grandma, I hope you don't bring it up again in the future. If one day, I have an idea, I will tell you. ”

Grandma Xu sighed slightly: "Okay, I won't say it again." ”

Three days passed quickly, and Ah Chou came to Shangshan Pavilion in Qian County again.

It's still the same procedure, but after coming to the attic and sitting down on a chair, the masked man handed the ugly not the list of rules, but a contract.

Ugly read it carefully.

The previous survey was written to her liking, but the delivery time was much more than she expected: now!

In other words, in the past three days, Shangshan Pavilion has checked the things she wants to know about the Dao early, and as long as she signs the contract, she will give it to her immediately.

Is this accurate, will she say yes? If she doesn't agree, what Shangshan Pavilion does will not be a bamboo basket for water?

It's really extraordinary, so I'm very confident!

And the price, one hundred taels, this price is not bad, it is not blackmail, after all, the labor fee or something, plus this speed, it is also worth it.

But the price made Ugly stunned!

Concentrate:

[1] Room: In the ancient architectural style, the four pillars enclosed by it were called a room, not a wall. The columns should not be too far apart, so the size of one room is more fixed. (To be continued......)
