"Be a guide? If you break the law, you have to pay more......"

Cao Xiu looked at him, "How much?" ”

The shopkeeper said, "Fifty taels and one each." ”

"Fifty taels, why don't you go out and grab it!" Cao Xiu was dumbfounded.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "The greater the risk, the more you want." ”

Cao Xiu stretched out a finger, "How about one or two?" ”

"One or two, what about sending Hanako? At least five taels. The shopkeeper glanced at him.

Cao Xiu said: "I'll give you eight taels, and you will make four road guides for me." ”

The shopkeeper thought for a while, took out a blank piece of paper and said, "Okay, lead the way to the name you plan to write, as well as the place of residence, and write them on the paper for me one by one." ”

Cao Xiu took the paper and asked Song Caiwei, Cao Wuniang and Wu Chang behind him, "Have you three thought of a name?" ”

Song Caiwei and the three of them looked at each other and threw the question back to Cao Xiu, "What about you?" ”

"Me." Cao Xiu said: "I don't think I'll call Cao Huateng if I want to." ”

Cao Wuniang looked disdainful, "How ugly this name is, change it." ”

Cao Xiu touched his head and said, "Then it's called Xu Xian, the word Caichen?" ”

Song Caiwei agreed: "This name is good, how did you come up with it?" ”

Cao Xiu smiled, "There was once a reckless hero named this, and he later became a friend of life and death with a scholar. ”

Cao Wuniang bent down and said with a smile: "Or, you can also think of one for us." ”

Song Caiwei nodded in agreement, Wu Chang stood silently, he didn't care.

Cao Xiu thought for a while and said, "I have three names, one is Bai Suzhen, one is Nie Xiaoqian, and the other is called Fan Wuxuan, the three of you can choose." ”

Cao Wuniang turned her finger and said, "That Fan Wusu is the man's name when he hears it, and it is not suitable for me and Cai Wei, so I will give it to Wu Chang, Cai Wei, let's choose one between Bai Suzhen and Nie Xiaoqian, right?" ”

Song Caiwei said with a smile: "Sister Cao chooses first." ”

"You are dressed in white, which happens to match the name of Bai Suzhen, then my name will be Nie Xiaoqian."

After Cao Wuniang finished speaking, she glanced at Cao Xiu.

After Cao Xiu had no objection from the three behind him, he wrote his name on a blank piece of paper and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper accepted the paper, nodded and said, "Very good, pay a deposit of fifty wen first, and you can come to pick it up at noon tomorrow." ”

Cao Xiu put down the fifty copper plates, and then asked mysteriously: "Shopkeeper, the big seal of the government is needed on the road lead, do you know some people from above?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he became vigilant, "Go and go, buying and selling is buying and selling, and don't ask about these things." ”

Cao Xiu said: "I can add money." ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "I'm a very principled person." ”

"I'll give you ten taels later."

“…… No, I don't. ”

"Twenty taels?"

"Besides, I won't do this way."

After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Cao Xiu stopped talking, he was testing just now, but he didn't expect that this shopkeeper was really a tight-lipped person.

Cao Xiu nodded and said with appreciation: "Shopkeeper Gao Yi, it's the kid who is abrupt, you take this deposit, and I will pick it up at noon tomorrow." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Xiu took Song Caiwei and the others out of the store.

The shopkeeper looked at their distant backs and muttered, "Why didn't he raise the price just now, and after a little insistence, I agreed." ”

At noon the next day, Cao Xiu went to Liuqing Hutong alone.

When they took the guide back, Song Caiwei and the others had already packed up and dressed up.

Because Song Caiwei is a native of Liyuan, she is afraid of being recognized when she goes to Liyuan, so in addition to wearing a fence on her head, she also has a white veil on her face.

In fact, a veil is not very useful at all, fortunately, her home is a little far away from Liyuan County, except for the last time Song Zhixian died, went to the funeral, and the people of Liyuan County have basically never met.

Although she is an official lady, she is very different.

Cao Wuniang is still wearing a green dress and has not changed much.

The two sat downstairs, ready to go.

Because of Liu Zhixian's affairs, Commander Luo wanted to stay in Jiangning.

Such a blatant suspicion of Lu Guogong's grandson, hum, what Cao Xiu said was right, and he Luo Yuhou didn't believe it either, this Liu Zhixian was just because he wanted political achievements.

However, this is Jiang Ning, he is not good at interfering, Commander Luo plans to follow the people who escorted Liu Zhixian all the way, and when he arrives in Bianjing City, it is not too late to do it.

He was also concerned about the case in Liyuan County, and after a few words with Wu Chang, he called Cao Xiu into the guest room alone.

In the guest room, Commander Luo took out a stack of silver tickets.

In this world, although the timeline is very close to the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, some inventions are earlier than the Northern Song Dynasty, such as this silver ticket, which has been in circulation for nearly a hundred years.

Commander Luo handed over the silver ticket to Cao Xiu and said, "There are 10,000 taels on it, save some flowers." ”

Cao Xiu was stunned and asked, "Give me so much money, aren't you afraid that I will run away?" ”

"If you run away, this seat will dare to chase you back thousands of miles, no matter how many state capitals you cross, unless you can go to sea and ocean."

Commander Luo smiled lightly, he knew Cao Xiu's temperament.

Cao Xiu suddenly asked, "Is this money your own or public?" ”

Commander Luo paused and said, "Naturally, it was given from above." ”

Cao Xiu glanced at him, didn't say much, collected the money, and went to meet Song Caiwei and the others.

Commander Luo sent him out of the room, Wu Chang stood by the door, waited for Cao Xiu to go away, and asked Commander Luo: "My lord, you have worked hard to save that money for more than ten years." ”

Commander Luo looked in the direction where Cao Xiu disappeared and said, "If you can solve the case and catch the real murderer, a little money is nothing, anyway, this seat has always been alone, and the money is enough for this seat." ”

Cao Xiu and they want to travel in micro-service, so naturally they can't talk to Qin Tong and Song Governor's Mansion.

Quietly when you go.

It's a pity that the Song Governor's Mansion knew about it early in the morning, but he didn't say anything, and stood on the city wall in the south of the city with Qin Ming, looking at the two men and two women who came out of the city under the city, and said to Qin Ming: "Ziming, do you think Cao Wei will succeed?" ”

Qin Ming thought for a long time before he said: "In the past, the last general is not sure, but these days, all the things that Cao Zhixian has done are vivid, and the last general believes that they will be able to succeed immediately." ”

"Hehe, this scene is really getting more and more exciting."

Song Zhifu looked at the four people who were far away and muttered.

……

This time I went to Liyuan, Cao Xiu had amnesia, Wu Chang and Cao Wuniang were both northerners, only Song Caiwei was a local, but she was a road idiot.

So the trip of four people is definitely not fast if it is said to be fast.

Often, Cao Xiu always waited for Song Caiwei to choose one path before deciding to take another.

Song Caiwei complained about this, but she was helpless, she couldn't lead them astray anymore.

The four of them walked for almost six days before they reached the boundary of Liyuan County.

At that time, it was already dark, and there was still some distance from the county seat, so they had to look for a farmhouse in the village in front of them that could provide accommodation.

When they entered the village, they turned a few corners, and when they saw a house in front of them with their lights still on, they went to the door and knocked on it a few times.

But after knocking for a long time, no one in the house responded.

"Is there anyone in the house?" Cao Xiu couldn't help but ask.

"No ......"

“……”

Cao Xiu thought about it, this peasant family may be afraid of people, so he said: "Fellow countryman, we are from other places to do business in the city, we don't want to delay the trip on the road, and we don't catch up with the accommodation, I hope to spend the night with you." ”

However, there was still no response from inside the house, which stumped Cao Xiu and them, should they let the four of them spend the night in the wilderness?

"Fellow, can you drink water under an excuse?" Cao Xiu didn't want to give up, and wanted to use this as an excuse to convince others for a while.

"The well is just outside."

Cao Xiu: "......"
