After a while, the shopkeeper brought two cups of hot tea and placed them on the two red lacquer tables.

The shopkeeper got Zhang Sanye's eyes, retreated and closed the door, at this time Zhang Sanye said: "This master, someone brought it to you, I don't know what you want to do?" ”

"If I want to take her away, what are the conditions?" Wei Chang said without looking up.

Zhang Sanye smiled bitterly and said: "Heh, you want to take it away, the little one doesn't dare to stop it, but until now, the master has not left a name." ”

"Tell me first, what is her origin?" Wei Chang pointed to the woman surnamed Shen and said.

The woman couldn't figure out what was going on, and didn't even know whether she should be scared or happy, so she lay on the ground and listened with a blank expression.

Zhang Sanye crossed his hands and saluted, looked at Wei Chang again, and saw that Wei Chang's expression was as usual, so he dared to sit down.

Zhang Sanye is also an old Jianghu, he doesn't seem to be very nervous, and he speaks in an orderly manner, after sitting down, he lifted the teacup and said, "I bought her from Pingkangfang." His father didn't understand the market, so he took her and wanted to sell it to a dealer, but I know the dealer, who is a bottom-line dealer and can't give a high price. At that time they negotiated 500 silver coins. At that time, I slashed at the bar and said that I would give 750 silver coins. And just like that, I took her down. ”

"How dare you offend the people of Pingkangfang?" Wei Chang said distrustfully.

"Of course I don't dare, and then I gave the bottom line dealer 3,000 silver coins." Zhang Sanye put down the teacup and said.

"In other words, in order to buy her, you spent a total of 3,750 silver coins, which is equivalent to 375,000 Wen." Wei Chang said.

"This master, good arithmetic." Zhang Sanye lost no time in praising it.

"But it's not too expensive. Based on this woman's appearance, you will change hands for 500,000 Wen, this number, I'm not wrong, right? ”

"Master, you're an expert."

Wei Chang learned all this knowledge in the database of the Bad People Academy, and the price of a beautiful woman in the Tang Dynasty (Kabuko Qing Hongqi) rose with the advent of the Li Heng era.

It is not uncommon for such a Qing woman, if she is well-educated, to be priced at 1 million Wen. But this woman is still a thin horse, innocent, and knows nothing. The only thing that is valuable is her body that has not been touched by a man.

"Why did you force her? Who do you want her to accompany? Wei Chang asked.

"The small shop operates here and makes some money, but if you want to expand the scale, you must merge the two next door, but these two families refuse to sell, so I plan to use this woman to honor Chen Shilang of the household department." Zhang Sanye said.

"You're pretty honest." Wei Chang said: "Don't you think it's a bit immoral to do this?" ”

"There is no lack of virtue, this matter will be put aside first. When I bought this woman, her father and daughter were penniless and about to starve to death. When she came to my house, she ate and drank well, and she was dressed in silk and satin, and she turned into a phoenix, which is probably a small credit. I asked her to compensate for the four officials, if she is on the side, she will have no worries about food and clothing, and enjoy all the glory and wealth, which is obviously her creation, but she is ignorant and refuses to obey her fate. You say, does she bury my kindness? ”

"Good intentions?" Wei Chang said: "If I take the woman away now, what do you think?" ”

"Hehe, master, you are laughing." Although Zhang Sanye's face did not change, his hand holding the handle of the chair tightened, and said, "I don't know where you want to take her?" When the time comes, will there be any benefits for Zhang San? ”

"Hehehe," Wei Chang sneered, and suddenly turned his face and said: "You trafficked human beings, forced good people to become prostitutes, bribed court officials, and said that you were like a saint, and finally dared to ask me for benefits, I think your kid is not saved." ”

grabbed Zhang Sanye's neck, and threw him out of the window with one hand, this Zhang San is not a vegetarian, he fell from the second floor, and he was unscathed, but when he just stood up, he was hit on the top of his head and immediately fainted.

Suddenly, the door of the Le Inn opened, and the one-eyed dragon, Scarface and others jumped out, Wei Chang squinted his eyes and said, "Whoever dares to cause trouble will be arrested today." ”

Hearing this, the two glanced at each other, did not dare to move lightly, but looked at Zhang Sanye who was lying on the ground in a daze.

He grabbed a whistle from his pocket and blew it violently, intending to call the local officer, but instead he called two bad guys.

These two people, one tall and thin, the other short and fat, walked together, very incongruous, but they were also easy to remember.

The thin and tall man walked over, looked at Wei Chang, and said with his hands crossed: "Bad guy Gao Qi, who is Your Excellency?" ”

"Bad People Academy student, Wei Chang."

"Oh, it turned out to be Wei Chang. Fortunately. The short and fat man hurriedly said, "Down, bad guy Takeo." ”

Subsequently, Wei Chang handed over the case to them, and the two hugged their fists, saying that they would handle the matter. Gao Qi woke up Zhang San with a basin of cold water, and at this time, Humpty Dumpty Takeo found Wei Chang, pulled him into the corner, and said in a low voice: "Brother, are you tight?" Say, how much is needed? ”

Wei Chang was stunned for a moment, and then knew that there must be something going on here, so he looked forward to it and said: "Just passing by, I took a casual look, this is the territory of the two seniors, and it is not good to be too presumptuous as a junior, so after I finish it, I will hand it over to you." As for me, you don't have to think about it at all, I'm not here to make money at all. ”

"Brother, this is not in order. How much, to the point. Takeo smiled relievedly and said politely.

"Then you can look at it, and help me find a cleaner inn, I'm going to stay here for the next few days. Also, get me a map of your Enlightenment Workshop, no problem, right? ”

"I don't think you're looking for any map." Takeo asked tentatively.

Wei Chang smiled, "Hehe, of course, it must be detailed, and the ditches and dark passages are all clearly marked." ”

"Brother, your request is not low. It's better to ask for money directly. Possession of maps is a capital offense. ”

"Don't worry, I'll just look at it once, and you can take the map."

"Nacheng, you go to the Fenghuan Inn first, just mention me, all the expenses will be booked, and I will clean it up in the end."

"Thanks!"

He could have jumped over the wall to enter, but on a whim, he prepared an iron shovel and some wooden planks.

At the time of curfew, Wei Chang relied on his memory to find a ditch, looked around and saw that there was no one around, a short body got in, there was a black hole inside, opened the fire fold, walked twenty steps inside, turned right ten steps, turned left, and saw a secret door.

Turned the secret door, entered the bottom of the Tang Mansion, came to the bottom of the pressure plate, listened, there was no movement, took out a small shovel and began to dig.

He estimated that from here, it was the Tang family's stable, and as long as he was not unlucky enough to dig under the wall, he would have a way to turn out and backfill the pit.

With his strength, he dug for nearly half an hour, and was so tired that he gasped for breath, but he could see the sky, listened, and there was no abnormal noise, so he continued to dig, slowly stretched his head out, and immediately retracted his head when he was startled.

The place he chose was not very good, it was next to the horse's hind hooves, and if he was accidentally noticed by the horse just now, he could be kicked to death with a kick.

"It's dangerous." Poked his head out again and saw that the horse was still standing there without moving: "Isn't this horse asleep?" ”

Thinking of this, he stabbed the horse with his shovel, and the horse did not move.

"Even if I can get out, I'm afraid it won't be safe. It is easy to be exposed here, not to mention, it is also easy to be trampled by horses, forget it, simply backfill it, and dig it again in a different position. ”

Go out and pull in the planks that have been prepared in advance.

If you want to backfill, there is no plank support, and there is nowhere to borrow. After nearly an hour of busyness, I could fill in the hole, and then about a foot back, and it was a good place, leaning against the wall, overgrown with weeds, and extremely hidden.

Poked his head out again, nodded with satisfaction, jumped out, and began to look for Qi Qi.

This Tang Mansion is not a typical long courtyard, he walked down the wall, and saw that there was still a light on in a room, so he tiptoed over.

Look around, if you eavesdrop like this, it is easy to be discovered, so you can lift your breath, jump on the cornice, cross your legs, and hang upside down on it, this kind of tiled house with long eaves is most suitable for stealth, as soon as you reach out and grab another purlin, climb over, you can lie on it.

I only heard Qi Qi's laughter from the house, this girl laughed quite nicely, although she didn't dare to say that it was as crisp as a wind chime, it was not much worse.

"Hey, I don't know if I don't check the family tree, our two families are still relatives on both sides, your aunt is my second grandmother, and the third aunt and grandmother of the Qin family actually married into your Qi family." Qin Xiangxi's tone was excited.

Qi Qi responded: "I have long known that the two families have relatives, but they never move, but they are also unfamiliar. Today I said that I would come here to stay for a few days, and my mother praised me for being sensible. So, let me bring this to my cousin to show my heart. ”

"Oops! As a junior, I didn't go to see my aunt, but asked my cousin to bring something, which is embarrassing. ”

"It's all small gifts, and I still think it's a little too much to handle."

"When people come, it's the biggest gift, and if something is not, I don't look at it."

The two began to talk about family life, the woman chatted about the family, and they could talk all night, and the topics were not the same, Wei Chang regretted it a little, so he could only continue to lie on the purlin and listen.

After listening to Qin Xiangxi's muttering for a long time, listening to her words, it turned out that the reason why the Tang family was able to marry Qin Xiangxi was to go to Qin Xiangxi's dowry. At that time, Tang Su had no public position, and his family was so poor that he began to sell maids. Otherwise, the huge family business will not even be able to pay miscellaneous taxes. And Qin Xiangxi's dowry was not money, but for Tang Su to be a supernumerary in the household department. Mix in some income.

Hearing this, Wei Chang sneered, and almost made a voice for this, he said in his heart: Tang Su is also a viscount, and he receives 15,000 yuan from the viscount every month, even if Tang Su makes a nest, he will not have to marry you. A household supernumerary, even if he gives a hand to the waiter, is only 3,000 yuan a month, what is 3,000 yuan enough for this big business? And it doesn't have a lot of power, it just sounds good.

Listening to the woman's words, her stomach was full of anger, but fortunately, Qi Qi didn't talk like she was so chattering and self-righteous, otherwise her partner would not have been annoyed to death for half a year.

When the two women chatted, Qin Xiangxi left Qi Qi's room, before leaving, the door was closed for a long time, and she stood at the door chattering, saying where to put the quilt for a while, where to put the kettle for a while, and also said that she would arrange a maid to accompany Qi Qi, and for nearly half an hour, she was willing to leave satisfied.

Everyone was gone, and it was quiet all around, Wei Chang took out a whistle, stuffed it into his mouth, and blew out two calls of the big cuckoo bird-cuckoo, cuckoo-

Qi Qi pushed open the door, looked around, didn't see a figure, looked up, saw Wei Chang, and said, "No one, come down quickly." ”

Wei Chang slipped into Qi Qi's house and closed the door.

"Where did you come from, and how did you get covered in dirt?" Qi Qi had a keen sense of smell, covered her nose and said, "A smell of earth, what are you doing?" ”

"I came from the tunnel."

"Authentically?"

"Forget it, I'll tell you more about it later." Wei Chang said seriously: "Have you seen Tang Xian?" ”

"Tang Xian is no longer working in Jin Wuwei, it seems that what he told you that day is true." Qi Qi said quickly: "He is not at home today, and his brother has already sent someone to look for him." ”

"Hey," Wei Chang smiled evilly: "It seems that the eldest lady of our Qi family is not small, as soon as you come to someone's house, the whole family has to come out to welcome you." ”

"Don't talk to me! Isn't it all about solving crimes? ”

"Usually I stay in the Fenghuan Inn, and go there to find me if I have something." Wei Chang said, "If everything is normal, I will come to you at night." ”

"It's best to come early." Qi Qi said angrily.

"Do you know how long I've been waiting for you outside? This girl has been babbling for a long time, so much so that I can now have a waist board. ”

"Okay, what else do you have to say?"

"It's not for me to say anything now, I just want to hear your judgment of Tang Xian, what did you hear in his sister-in-law's mouth?" Wei Chang asked.

Qi Qi thought for a while and concluded: "My cousin looks very kind, but I understand what she thinks in her heart, and I also took advantage of her thoughts to come to her house."

She said that Tang Xian was a depressed and unhappy person, and he usually didn't move around much, but he didn't come back for a few days after he left.

She also said that Tang Xian is a capable person, who has always been resolute in his work, and he can see results quickly. Sometimes, when his brother couldn't do something he didn't understand, he solved it as soon as he went.

My cousin often chattered, hoping that the brothers would not split up, otherwise if something happened in the future, Tang Su would not be able to solve it, and he would have to go to his uncle's house to beg. ”

"I've heard a phrase before." The corners of Wei Chang's mouth had a hint of teasing.

"What?" Qi Qi looked at Wei Chang with wary eyes.

"Wise murderers are charismatic." Wei Chang smiled and said, "At your age, don't be fascinated by him?" ”

"Dengzi, have you finished talking?" Qi Qi said angrily: "There is no evidence to prove that he did it." ”

"Then why did he change the portrait?" Wei Chang asked rhetorically and continued: "Don't talk nonsense on this, continue to talk about it, what else can be extracted from the mouth of your cousin?" ”

"There's nothing more, if anything, it's about Tang Xian and her son Tang Jin. She said that in the past six months, Tang Yao has been sick twice, once when he was smashed by a flat pole, once when he was injured by a fall, and both times he was cured by a good man who Tang Xian was looking for. ”

Then Qi Qi analyzed this Qin Xiangxi to Wei Chang. She said that Qin Xiangxi was just an ordinary woman who was completely attached to this family, but Qi Qi felt that Qin Xiangxi was not happy, and in her eyes, she could always see a look of anxiety, which seemed to be somewhat inconsistent with the peace in her speech.

In addition, she also found that Tang Su was a strange person, his attitude towards Qin Xiangxi was not as good as he imagined, and his emotions were always up and down, sometimes he was very shrewd, and sometimes he was very stupid and impetuous.

Although in front of the subordinates, he guaranteed the face of this Mrs. Xuxian, but in private, he was still relatively blunt when he spoke to Qin Xiangxi, and he couldn't see the love of husband and wife at all. And he seems to have something in his heart, as if his wife's secret makes him very unhappy, and whenever he thinks about it, he will act like he wants to get angry.

"In addition, I also think that this Tang Su may be an addict. If that's really the case, maybe I can understand why Qin Xiangxi looks so insecure. ”

"You mean the Broken Intestine Grass?" Wei Chang said worriedly: "Although the emperor has repeatedly ordered that it is strictly forbidden to break the intestine grass, there are still a lot of such things in the black market. It's not shallow to hurt people. ”

After saying this, Wei Chang left.

The next day, until the hour of the hour, the maid dared to come to call the door, and at this time Qi Qi got up early.

For breakfast together, Qi Qi looked at Tang Su carefully, his body was fat, his jaw was thick, his expression was gentle, but he was a little absent-minded. Judging by the calluses on his elbows, he must have spent a lot of time writing. Qin Xiangxi is very considerate to her husband and takes care of her meticulously, even the fallen rice grains, she picks them up with her hands.

The five-year-old boy Tang Yao has a strong body and a naughty personality.

Qin Xiangxi dotes on children, and is used to having problems, which looks very annoying.

The child's left leg was still bandaged, it seemed that it was caused by the injury a few days ago, Qin Xiangxi was frightened at the time, and thought that the child's leg was broken.

Listening to Qin Xiangxi, many things in the family rely on Tang Xian to do things, it seems that Tang Xian is a person with a wide range of social interactions, which at least shows that he must not be an annoying person, otherwise he would not have so many friends.
