In just a few days, Mingyu Shop became famous again for selling exquisite and beautiful jade, and there was an endless stream of customers every day, Cheng Yuru no longer had to worry about selling, just sit and count the money.

"Miss!" Yongning, who had disappeared for several days, ran in from outside.

Without waiting for Cheng Yuru to speak, he pointed to the person who followed behind him, and said, "Who do you think this is?" ”

"Bai Ran!" Cheng Yuru stepped forward in surprise. The young man in front of him was already about as tall as her, he put his hands behind his back, and he didn't say a word, and he had the taste of a cold child.

"Sister, Bai Ran can be regarded as seeing you!" As soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Ran shattered his superficial image. The two exchanged a few words of greeting briefly, and Cheng Yuru remembered Bai Ran's main purpose for entering Beijing, "Can the affairs of Minzhou be arranged?" ”

"Hmm. The others are still in Minzhou, and they will let them come after the site of the capital is decided. When it came to business, Bai Ran became serious.

When it comes to the matter of Tianzhi Pavilion, Qinghu still needs to be present.

Evening.

In front of one of the private rooms on the third floor of Jiupin Building, the son in white clothes knocked on the door. The door opened quickly, and Bai Ran finally saw the person who came, and complained, "You came in time." ”

"Isn't it time yet?"

Seeing the other person in the private room, he shouted, "My lord." ”

After everyone arrived, the three of them quickly got down to business.

Qinghu said: "The capital is not as good as Minzhou, and Tianzhi Pavilion can't be exposed to other people's sight yet." Once discovered, the consequences can be troublesome. "There are all kinds of powerful forces in the capital, and if you want to gain a foothold here, you must be cautious in the early stage. Only when it is strong enough can it appear in the eyes of everyone blatantly.

"At the moment, the others are still in Minzhou, and they can choose a place after they move into Beijing?" Cheng Yuru asked.

Under the dim candle flame, Qinghu suddenly raised his head, a little smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and said, "My lord, what do you think of this Jiupin Building?" ”

As one of the most famous restaurants in Beijing, Jiupin Lou is the most lacking of guests. To be able to gain a firm foothold in the capital, the background of Jipinlou will never be simple, and Cheng Yuru couldn't tell whether Qinghu was joking or true for a while.

"This?" Bai Ran next to him swallowed a mouthful of chicken soup and smashed his mouth, "I think it's okay, the food is quite delicious." He revealed a childish spirit when he spoke, Cheng Yuru helplessly held his forehead, and said seriously: "Qinghu, are you serious?" ”

There was a moment of silence in the private room, and just when Cheng Yuru thought Qinghu was joking, he spoke up, "Seriously." He took out a title deed from his bosom, "My lord, you can take this thing." Leave the rest to me and Bai Ran. ”

Ignoring Bai Ran's surprised expression, Qinghu took out a letter from his arms again and handed it to Cheng Yuru.

The letter ...... Presumably the adults have been waiting for a long time. He raised his head as he spoke, and sure enough, he saw Cheng Yuru's face change in an instant.

After handing over the letter to Cheng Yuru, Qinghu quickly left Jiupin Tower. When Cheng Yuru and Bai Ran returned to the mansion in the capital, it was just getting dark.

This letter was written by Cheng An.

Back in the room, Cheng Yuru couldn't wait to open the letter.

Ru'er:

See the letter like a meeting.

I'm counting the time, I guess you're in the capital at this time. I encountered an accident on the way, and I accidentally discovered the clues of what happened back then. There is still a period of time before the start of the imperial examination, I will go to investigate, you must not worry about it in the capital.

In just a few sentences, the handwriting is also very sloppy. Cheng Yuru folded the letter carefully and put it away, and now that she has the news of Cheng An, she feels a lot more at ease. Now that it has just entered autumn, it will take some time before Cheng An takes care of things and enters Beijing before the imperial examination.

Border.

Cheng An worked fast all the way and finally entered the city before dark. In the yellow sand, he heard a shout from the left, "Cheng An! When he saw it, the man standing at the corner of the city was very familiar.

"Master." Approaching, this person is the mirror who passed the news to him before.

A few days before entering Beijing, he was chased and killed halfway, and after a fight, he found a pattern on the dead soldier that also appeared in the same pattern as the murderer of his mother. With the exact same pattern, is there really such a coincidence in the world?

The border gates are mixed, and there are people from all over the world. The two of them did not delay, and went directly to the place where Jingqi found the abnormality.

"Look at it." Jingqi successfully entered a ruined temple, and the two stopped in front of the Buddha statue covered by a cloth. Cheng An's deep eyes moved, and the next moment, the cloth was lifted by Cheng An, stirring up a large cloud of dust.

The Buddha statue enshrined in the temple is a very ordinary Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the mirror reminded at the right time: "You take a closer look at its forehead." Cheng An looked at it according to his words, but the point on Guanyin Bodhisattva's forehead was not a little cinnabar, but ...... It's the same as the murderer's.

More than ten years later, the pattern reappeared, what exactly does this represent!

"Don't worry, the border is no better than other places, and this matter can only be investigated secretly." Jing Qi put a hand on Cheng Qi's shoulder, and pulled back in time the mood he was about to fall into madness.

In the next few days, the two changed their outfits and wandered around the streets, trying to find out the relevant news from the mouths of ordinary people. However, the results of the investigation are very different from Cheng An's conjecture! The people who live here don't know anything about the patterns on the foreheads of the Buddha statues. None of them are local residents, and the Buddha statue was already like that when they came here.

"And when did you get here?" Cheng An stood in front of this group of people who were half a head shorter than him and asked.

"It's been about ten years." One replied.

Decade! His parents had an accident more than ten years ago, and the people who live here now are not locals, so what happened here ten years ago?

There was an answer that quickly fermented in Cheng Anxin, he opened his face, and was about to ask something more, when a person sitting on the corner of the street suddenly said, "Young man, go back quickly." You ask so much, be careful of incurring the scourge of killing. The man was wearing a hat on his head, and Cheng An couldn't see his face clearly.

But his voice was very old, and after he finished speaking, he touched a bamboo pole beside him, and slowly walked away on the ground little by little.

Cheng An watched his back gradually change his face, and when he was about to catch up, there was still the figure of that person around.

The man caught Cheng An's attention, but he hadn't seen him since. He appeared out of nowhere and disappeared overnight.

didn't find any clues and people, Cheng An knew that he couldn't continue to delay, so he had to pack up his salutes and embark on the road to Beijing.

The capital is still prosperous, and not long after he entered the city, he heard some different news from the crowd.

"You explain that the owner of the jade shop was arrested by the government? It can't be, right? How old is that shopkeeper, and a woman, how could he be arrested for no reason!" Someone screamed in amazement.

Someone replied, "What do you know?" That woman killed someone!"
