When the two were about to go to the back of the house, a little girl in patched clothes poked her head out of the store.

Han Jiang and Shopkeeper Lin stopped in unison.

Han Jiang said: "I can wait, there are guests coming to the door." ”

Shopkeeper Lin wants to say this, there are no guys in his store, and his store is the store where he usually passes the time.

Shopkeeper Lin stepped forward: "Guest, what do you want to buy?" ”

The little girl looked at the shopkeeper Lin's kind face, took off a cloth bag from her body, and then handed the cloth bag to the shopkeeper Lin: "My mother wants to get married, I sold flowers and saved some money, and I want to buy a fan for my mother." ”

Shopkeeper Lin squatted down, took out the money in the cloth bag one by one and put it on the ground, and asked, "What kind of fan do you want, guest?" ”

The little girl stretched out her hand, but it was a green feather fan.

Shopkeeper Lin shook his head: "The money is not enough." ”

Han Jiang glanced at the fan, it seemed to be made of peacock feathers, although Han Jiang didn't know much about prices, this fan would not be cheap.

At this time, the little girl took out a cloth bag in her bosom, which contained two roots of some kind of plant.

"I found it when I was picking flowers and grass in the mountains."

Han Jiang didn't know him, and Han Si whispered beside him: "Rice ginseng, it's not as good as Liao ginseng, it's not valuable." ”

Sure enough, Shopkeeper Lin shook his head again: "It's not enough." ”

The little girl was about to cry, Danxia at the door walked into the store, Han Jiang raised her hand, and Zhuxiang pulled Danxia back.

The little girl's tears were already rolling in her eyes, and then she took out the last one, a wooden doll carved in a linen bag, and held it in both hands very reluctantly, but in the end she gritted her teeth and handed the doll to the shopkeeper Lin.

Shopkeeper Lin got up slowly, took off the peacock feather fan, wrapped it in a brocade box, and then counted a few of the neat rows of money on the ground: "This is the money for finding guests." ”

The little girl smiled with tears on her face, and ran away happily with the brocade box.

When he walked to the back hall, Han Jiang didn't speak, and Shopkeeper Lin didn't speak.

Entering the back hall, Shopkeeper Lin took a box and put the woodcarved doll in it, then wrote a note and put it in, covered the box and came to Han Jiang.

Han Jiang said at this time: "That girl offered a higher price than anyone else, and she gave everything she had. I heard just now that her mother remarried, and the wood carving must have been left to her by her father, and it was very, very precious to her. ”

Han Jiang's words made Shopkeeper Lin stand there and fall into deep thought.

He didn't really think too much about it, he just didn't want anyone to be able to get it easily, even if it was help or kindness from others.

But Han Jiang's words made him understand another meaning.

At this time, Han Si entered: "Shaojun, shopkeeper Lin, there is a guest here." It's a guest just now. ”

Shopkeeper Lin arched his hand at Han Jiang and walked towards the store.

The little girl's mother came back with a brocade box, she clearly knew that even if she had all her property, she couldn't afford to buy this fan, this kind of green feather Song didn't have it at all, it was brought by Fanshang, it must be very, very expensive.

Shopkeeper Lin didn't take the box, but said: "Your girl offered a higher price than anyone else, and she took out all the wealth she had. So, this fan is hers. If there is no problem with the fan, the small goods will not be returned after the money and goods are cleared. ”

The words were blunt, but the little girl's mother didn't understand.

This is the kindness of Shopkeeper Lin.

Shopkeeper Lin said: "If one day, your girl wants to redeem her belongings, as long as the store is still there, she can redeem it at any time." ”

The little girl's mother gave a heavy salute.

Shopkeeper Lin nodded in return.

When the little girl's mother was about to leave, the shopkeeper Lin said: "I heard that Yangzhou has opened a branch of Hengyangzhou, you can borrow money to study, if it is possible, send your girl to study." ”

The little girl's mother saluted again, and then pulled her daughter away.

Shopkeeper Lin returned to the back hall again, and when he saw Han Jiang, he said: "I told the mother and daughter in the words of the uncle, I know what the uncle wants, but I am afraid that this matter will be difficult to do." In the green forest, many people will fight with others for hundreds of dollars. Among the merchants, there are often cases of killing people for the sake of ten thousand people. ”

Shopkeeper Lin said this, sitting opposite Han Jiang.

Han Jiang didn't answer, he was listening.

Shopkeeper Lin continued: "Before the old lord died of illness, he secretly withheld a large amount of money to be given to the Jin people, and this money brought disaster to the Zhen'an Hou Mansion. There are six people who know about this, and three have died because of it. I'll probably be the fourth. ”

Han Jiang was really taken aback.

However, he can indeed understand that killing people for money is really possible in the Great Song Dynasty.

If the amount of money reaches a terrible number, the Zhen'an Hou Mansion is nothing.

Seeing that Han Jiang was thinking, Shopkeeper Lin said, "Uncle still wants to listen to it?" ”

Han Jiang asked, "General Li Er is one of these six people?" ”

Shopkeeper Lin shook his head: "No, but he knows something from Zhen'anhou, as for how much I know, I don't know." ”

Han Jiang asked again: "Does anyone know that you may be one of these six people?" ”

Shopkeeper Lin replied: "Uncle has just met, and the king of the Wang family is worried." ”

"Tell him about him, I'll arrange for someone to make a cup of tea. I've come to you to see that no matter what I get from you, other people will guess, but for the worse, not for the better, so it doesn't matter if I listen or not, what matters is what I need to face. ”

"Uncle, I see you." Shopkeeper Lin got up and said to Han Si: "Brother Lao is annoyed to arrange someone to close the shop for me, since it is to taste tea, naturally I can't be in this dim back hall." ”

Han Jiang also instructed: "Han Si, arrange." ”

"Yes, Shaojun." Han Si got up and walked out.

Shopkeeper Lin said to Han Jiang at this time: "Uncle, wait for me outside for a while, I'll go get an important token." ”

"Okay." Han Jiang got up and walked out.

The door of the store is closed, and it is the shop closed by the servants of the Han family.

When Han Jiang was waiting outside for about a pillar of incense, he suddenly heard the sound of a cabinet being knocked down in the store, and when Han Jiang was puzzled, he saw smoke coming out of the store.

Han Wu hurriedly stepped forward to protect Han Jiang and retreated.

Han Jiang shouted: "Fight the fire." ”

People from the surrounding shops also rushed to help, and if the wooden house burned, it would affect them.

Dozens of buckets of water were poured on it, but the fire grew bigger and bigger.

Someone shouted, "It's been poured with oil." ”

Han Jiang stood in front of the store and silently watched the fire burn the entire store to ashes, and the officials of Yangzhou Mansion also arrived, and the sudden fire here made the officers very nervous, after all, this is a prosperous area, with many shops and restaurants.

For an hour and a half, for the whole hour and a half, Han Jiang didn't leave, he kept watching.

The fire must have been put by Shopkeeper Lin.

If you say that you blame yourself.
