Ah Ugly can be said to be both angry and puzzled, what does Shangshan Pavilion want to do? Showing off their intelligence-gathering abilities? Or is it demonstrating to her: we know exactly what you do, don't play tricks!

As far as she knew, Shangshan Pavilion was by no means a reckless and reckless organization, otherwise how could it have survived for so many years. If it's really just to spy on her, you can completely hide it and be a snake. For example, at this moment, it is only said that the result will be given in three days, although the result has been prepared a long time ago.

But now Shangshan Pavilion actually blatantly told her that they were spying on her - did they want to avenge the last time they were held hostage by her in Qian County?

It shouldn't be, this has to be revenged, it's not like a well-established organization, but like a brutal little girl.

So what is the purpose of Shangshan Pavilion doing this?

The yin and yang people laughed strangely: "Girl, we go to the Shan Pavilion to do things, and we never need to explain the reason." "Obviously don't want to say more.

"Don't need to explain why? Then our cooperation doesn't seem to be easy," Ugly sneered, "You don't say what you're doing something for, in case I also go for this goal, but it disrupts your original plan, what is it that doesn't hurt both sides?" ”

"The girl told us what she had planned, and everything was ready." Yin and Yang people said triumphantly.

The ugly had a serious expression under the veil, and he muttered for a long time, and suddenly slapped the table and shouted: "Do you want to make money, or do you want to control me!" ”

is a good pavilion, in front of the world, it is to punish evil and promote good, and it is so domineering and ruthless behind the scenes! She really regretted getting on the thief ship, and if she continued like this, it would be tantamount to a tiger seeking skin.

The yin-yang man was obviously frightened by Ugly's sudden rage, and shrank aside. However, it didn't take long for someone to come to the rescue.

An old man appeared in the room, and Ugly didn't even see how he appeared. His facial features couldn't be seen clearly in the backlight. Only the temperament of this old man makes people feel much more comfortable, not like this yin and yang person is weird, but gives people a sense of generosity and tolerance.

Despite this, Ah Chou still didn't dare to let his guard down: "Who is this?" ”

"The people below don't know how to understand the severity of it, and they abruptly surprised the ugly girl, please forgive me," the old man bowed apologetically, and then turned to look at the yin and yang people, his voice was majestic. "Don't go down and receive the punishment right away!"

The yin and yang people "giggled" and disappeared.

Ah Chou didn't admit it, looked at the old man and smiled indifferently: "Since the person in charge is here, do you want to give me an explanation?" ”

The old man shook his head and sighed: "Shangshan Pavilion did not intend to spy on the girl. One is to protect the girl, and the other is to make things happen as soon as possible. ”

Ugly laughed contemptuously: "You nonsense." Let's tell the one who just now. You send someone to give me a dismount first, and then send you to sing a red face and play a round. Can you get away with it? ”

"Girl, I'm sorry. The old man had no such intention," the old man's voice was sincere, "but Shangshan Pavilion did not do anything unfavorable to the girl, so what is the point of the girl holding on like this?" ”

Ah Chou stared at the old man and was silent, and only after a while did he speak: "You didn't pay attention to it." Now it's not mine, what a sharp tooth! ”

The old man saluted guiltily: "Girl, the people under the old man are not sensible......"

"It's ignorance that I found out." Ah Chou naturally saw that the yin and yang man was definitely an informal person who liked to make trouble, "If you are sensible, I am afraid that when I enter the coffin, I don't know what you have done." ”

"Girl......" The old man didn't know how to respond.

"What are your mottos?" Ugly asked suddenly.

"Everything has a price." The old man replied.

"Well, what price have you decided to pay for it?"

After listening to Ah Ugly's words, the old man almost thought that the pavilion master was coming, and he was suddenly startled, and it took a long time to calm down. This girl actually adapted measures to local conditions and treated others in her own way. He pondered: "This matter is not something that the old man can decide, but he also has to ask the pavilion master." Besides, why should the girl be aggressive, we don't mean to hurt the girl......"

Ah Chou raised his hand to interrupt the old man's words: "The price is the price, needless to say, you slowly ask the pavilion master to go." I still have my things to do, go first. ”

After Ah Chou left Shangshan Pavilion, the old man sighed: "This person is really not easy to mess with!" ”

"Since it's not easy to provoke, why did the above still tell me to provoke her, it's really unlucky!" Yin and Yang people are a little depressed.

"The above has its own meaning, why do you bother to ask!" The old man said sternly.

The yin and yang people "giggled" and laughed: "I know, I know!" ”

After leaving the Shangshan Pavilion, Ah Chou began to look for a place to live first.

Huainan City is adjacent to Huaishui in the north, and the cargo ships at the north wharf of the city are busy, and the shouting is endless. Daqian water transportation is developed, and most of the cities near the water are rich commercial centers. The north of the city is lively, and the south of the city is relatively quiet, so dignitaries and nobles generally live in the south of the city. The shipwrights, traders, and traders all lived in the north of the city, which was also convenient for them to work.

Ugly focused on the city.

She is not a dignitary, nor a boatman, at best she is a middle class, so she can choose a moderate and lively place, and the city center is the most convenient area for life!

Ugly found Yazi and said what he needed. As soon as Yazi heard that he wanted to enter the courtyard three times, he knew that he was not a poor man who was stingy with money, so he did not slack off, and took out several houses for Ah Chou to choose.

Ordinary people in the market live in a small courtyard; A slightly more well-off family or a small official is a second entry; As for petty officials and businessmen, they generally choose three in; Only officials with higher grades can afford to enter the four and above.

Ah Chou picked out three of them and took Grandma Xu to see them on the spot.

Grandma Xu didn't have any opinions, and they all said it was very good. Ah Chou began to think about the price.

"The first house is only sold but not rented, and the seller said that it would cost 2,000 taels of silver." Yazi explained.

"What about the second one?" Ah Chou knew that she couldn't afford two thousand taels of silver. Although he has so much money on hand, it is not used to buy a house.

Yazi continued to sell: "The second one is that it can be rented and sold, after all, there are not many people who want the courtyard of Sanjin, and this house has been empty for more than half a year, and the seller is a little anxious." ”

Ah Chou bowed slightly: In ancient times, real estate transactions were not active, shops were fine, few houses were sold, and even fewer were rented. The first one is afraid that he is anxious to wait for the money, so he only sells but does not rent; The second should be that he wanted to turn around, but he couldn't turn around, so he compromised.

"How much does it cost?" Ugly asked.

"One hundred taels a year." Yazi replied.

"What about the third one?" One hundred taels, this price, is still a little expensive.

"The third house is also said to be only sold, the yard is bigger, and the price is higher. At least two thousand five hundred taels can be taken. Yazi stretched out five fingers, as if he didn't think it was worth it.

Ah Chou was silent, and thought for a moment before saying, "You can ask the second family, how about eighty taels a year." "I finally met someone who was willing to rent, although the price was a little more expensive, but I could only try to negotiate the price to see if I could save some money.

"Okay, I'll ask you! There will be an answer tomorrow! Yazi agreed.

Nian Xin had already been sent by Ugly to accompany Grandma Xu back to Kai'an Inn, at this moment Tian Qiumei followed Ugly out of the tooth line, because it was the fourth day of the first month, the street was very lively, and there were many vendors selling things, so Tian Qiumei looked east and west, and was a little dazzled, but the interest was still very good.

"Girl, this hairpin looks very elegant, the girl must look good when she wears it!" Tian Qiumei picked up a blue glass silver hairpin.

"I don't fiddle with these things on weekdays, you can pick some for yourself, little girl, you have to dress up while you're young." Ugly's voice was gentle.

"But," Tian Qiumei blinked her big innocent eyes, a little puzzled, "The girl is also young, isn't she dressed up?" ”

Ah Ugly smiled and shook his head, only said ambiguously: "Maybe it's not young!" ”

Before Tian Qiumei had time to think about the meaning of her words, she heard the sound of gongs and drums and shouts gradually drifting into her ears, and then the officers and soldiers divided into a large avenue and divided the crowd on both sides.

"The court repeats the offense, and the idlers avoid it!"

Ah Chou stood behind the officers and soldiers suspiciously: Repeat offenders in the imperial court? It was the first time she had seen the escort prisoner, and she didn't know what crime Lu Dao had committed......

Tian Qiumei also stood on tiptoe curiously, stretching her neck to see the appearance of the comer.

In a short time, two prison cars slowly approached, each trapped by a man, dressed in prison clothes, with disheveled sideburns and blood stains on his body, apparently tortured. Ugly glanced at the two of them, only feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them for a while.

"What crimes have these two committed?" Tian Qiumei asked Ugly curiously.

"I don't know, looking at this appearance, I'm afraid it's not going to be beheaded, but to change hands." Ugly held his chin in one hand and analyzed.

"Changing hands?" Tian Qiumei was puzzled.

"It is to transport them to other places and hand them over to a bigger official, for example, to the capital." Ugly explained.

Tian Qiumei was like an empowerment: "How did the girl know the Tao?" ”

"Well, the Great Qian's decree says that if you want to question the beheaded, the official must tell everyone in advance the name and place of origin and the crime committed, that is, post notices at the city gates. However, in the past two days, Huainan City did not post similar notices. Therefore, it is not condemned to be beheaded. Ugly told her about the normal judicial process.

"So that's the case, the girl is so powerful, she knows everything. But did the girl think they looked familiar? Tian Qiumei began to think about it.

Ah Scandal was startled, hurriedly covered Tian Qiumei's mouth, and looked around the noisy surroundings, no one seemed to hear her words, so she relieved her heart and whispered in her ear: "You can't say this casually, at least let you identify what crimes these two people have committed, or at worst you are an accomplice!" ”

Tian Qiumei was covered and nodded a little scared.

However, Tian Qiumei also felt familiar, it was likely to be someone she had seen since joining her group. After thinking about it, Ah Chou looked at the two people in the prisoner car carefully, and then remembered the origin of these two people. (To be continued......)
