The atmosphere in the room was quite strange, and at this juncture, even the dullest person could vaguely think of something, but even the smartest person could not do it to make things clear.

"How do you know?" Xiang Bo repeated the question again, he was completely confused now, looked at Xiucai's relaxed face in front of him, Xiang Bo turned his head to look at Zhu Da.

His action surprised Qin Xiucai, one old and two young, the elder and the younger master and apprentice, no matter how you look at it, Xiang Yue, who is in his fifties, is the master of the idea, but this strong old man turned his head to look at the small one, obviously asking for advice, which is unreasonable.

"Master, to tell you the truth, Mr. Qin has no bad intentions." Zhu Da said with a smile, he has some guesses now, but he can't grasp the overall situation of the matter, the only thing that can be sure at present is that this Qin Xiucai has no malicious intentions, but there are some coincidences, and the other party thinks it is interesting.

Xiang Bo nodded, but sat down again, and said in a muffled voice: "That day, the old man went to Xiama Village next door, and the salt seller was killed there, and the salt goods were robbed, I went to see if I could make money selling salt over there, and when I came back, I heard about it and saw the girl's ......"

Halfway through the words, Zhu Da was a little anxious, his "telling the truth" meant that according to the agreement, how could the master tell the real truth.

That Xiucai Qin Chuan noticed that Xiang Bo was at a loss before, but after this young man gave advice, he was immediately calm and stable, he was originally curious about this, but when he saw Zhu Da's anxious expression, Qin Xiucai's face became more curious, and he felt more and more interesting about this matter.

Zhu Da was not afraid of anything, the "truth" would surprise people when it came out, and it would attract a lot of attention to himself and his partners, but it was just attention, those troubles and branches, as long as he was careful, there would be no harm, so he did not stop Xiang Bo's narration, but he found one thing when he listened to it, Xiang Bo did not say everything, but was very selective, and the two teenagers who met thieves and killed thieves talked about it, but they didn't say anything about cave rock salt and fishing.

Listening to it, the smile on Qin Xiucai's face faded, and he looked at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun very solemnly, at first he didn't care about these two teenagers at all, and thought that they were the juniors who came out to see the world to help, but he didn't expect that it was them who saved people.

As he was talking, Qin Qin ran in to get a snack with a smile again, and wanted to take it out again, but this time he was stopped by Qin Chuan and asked, the girl pointed at Zhu Da and said, "It was Brother Zhu who saved me, he was so scary at that time." ”

Speaking of this, there was no doubt, Qin Xiucai had a smile on his face, and asked Zhu Da after a deep groan: "Look at you like this, you don't want outsiders to know that it was you who killed thieves and saved people, I can probably figure out the cause and effect, so I don't ask, I just want to know, no matter how you three people hide it, it is impossible for my daughter to tell a lie, if she tells the truth, you can't hide it, what do you think?" ”

Suddenly, Zhu Da was treated as an adult, this question was not so much curiosity, but rather a test, this question was easy to answer, and the reason why Zhu Da hesitated was because the answer itself would not be complicated.

His hesitation made Qin Xiucai nod, then Qin Qin didn't go out crazy, watching curiously on the side, Zhu Da finally figured it out, and said slowly: "When ordinary people ask, they don't think that it was me and a teenager like Qingyun who did it, they wouldn't think about it, and naturally they wouldn't ask, even if Qin Qin told the truth, no one would believe the child's words, only that the child was frightened and remembered wrongly, but I didn't expect Mr. Qin to be such a person, and Qin Qin was so smart." ”

Xiucai Qin Chuan looked at Zhu Da carefully, with a little approval on his face, and asked with a smile: "What kind of person is Qin?" What can you see? ”

"Mr. Qin is not an ordinary scholar, and he can't see anything else." Zhu Da told the truth.

Qin Xiucai's expression changed again, and he was a little surprised in his approval, and asked, "Have you read a book?" ”

"I haven't read it."

"What did your parents come from?"

.......

After asking three questions in a row, asking Zhu Da's background and the like, it was no longer very polite, Xiang Bo coughed with a calm face, Xiucai Qin Chuan reacted, shook his head and said: "Qin forgot his form for a while, but let everyone laugh, I really didn't expect that a deserted village like Baibao Village could produce such a strong person as Brother Xiang, and actually produce a young talent like Zhu Da!" ”

The weight of these words is not light, especially this Qin Xiucai does not look like an ordinary scholar, and the words have some other meanings, Xiang Bo and Zhu Da are a little awkward, and they don't know how to deal with it, but Zhou Qingyun has already seen that this Qin family is not too dangerous, so he concentrates on dealing with the dim sum in front of him, and eats very happily.

At this time, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, whether cloth shoes and leather boots were walking on the brick floor, it was not easy to make a sound, but the footsteps outside were accompanied by a soft "click" sound, which seemed to be the sound of small metal pieces hitting the ground, and gradually approached the hall.

Not long after, a person pushed the door in, and after coming in, he greeted Qin Xiucai with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I heard that there are people from your house, I'll come and take a look." ”

The person who came in was a sturdy man, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a dark complexion, who had experienced wind and frost at first glance, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were very sharp, and after entering the house, he first glanced at Zhu Da and the three of them, as if he wanted to see people through, but after he glanced at it, he relaxed a lot, and he could feel that this person's eyes had returned to normal.

Zhu Da was very uncomfortable by the other party, but he felt that this man was dressed very familiarly, and he quickly reacted, this costume was the dress of the three private salt knights who came to Baibao Village a few days ago, and the sound of hitting the ground was also clear, but it was a spur on the heel of leather boots, and generally knights would remove the spurs after getting off the horse, it seemed that this middle-aged man was in a hurry.

After this person looked around, Qin Xiucai slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Third Brother Yu, this is all my own people, and I am tired and worried." ”

Before the politeness was over, Xiang Bo, who had just sat down, suddenly stood up, with a stunned expression on his face, staring at the new middle-aged man, and stammered a little: "You...... You...... It's Yu Sanye, who is in charge of the salt stack horse team......"

"You recognize me, are you?" This is the third master frowned and asked, staring at Xiang Bo, obviously not recognizing.

Without waiting for Xiang Bo to speak, Xiucai Qin Chuan said with a smile: "This is Xiang Yue, a merchant from Baibao Village on the east bank of the Xiami River, who is the one who secretly reported the thief's lair, and the benefactor who saved my daughter." ”

After saying this, Yu Sanye was also stunned, and then stared at Xiang Bo with curiosity, a smile appeared on his face, but his attitude became a little reserved, nodded and said: "It's a good thing, if it weren't for your news this time, it would be impossible to grasp it so accurately, you have made a great contribution, and the big cabinet will not treat you badly." ”

Xiang Bo was a little at a loss, after the other party said this, Xiang Bo didn't know how to answer for a while, but after Yu Sanye finished speaking, he looked at Qin Xiucai again, glanced at Xiang Bo again, shook his head and said with a smile: "Old Xiang You are good at creation, and you will have a good life in the future." ”

"The benefactor came to the door tonight, and the brother has already called the banquet over, how many drinks will the third brother stay with him?" Qin Xiucai sent out an invitation.

"Another day, Zheng Jiaji's side hasn't finished many things, so let's leave first." Third Brother Yu politely refused, nodded to Xiang Bo again, and then turned around and walked out of the house.

In the room at this time, Qin Qin and Zhou Qingyun had similar expressions, look at this and look at that, Xiang Bo is brows furrowed, while looking at Qin Xiucai cautiously, he turned his head to look at Zhu Da, wanting to get advice from him, and Qin Xiucai's attention was mostly shifted to Zhu Da's body, in the entire room, only Zhu Da was still calm, and now he was thinking.

Zhu Da was reviewing what he had just seen, after the person called "Third Brother Yu" came in, he first observed whether these people were dangerous, and then said hello, until this time, Xiucai Qin Chuan stood up, judging from the conversation and etiquette between the two sides, Third Brother Yu was very polite to this Qin Xiucai, with respect but kept his distance, but Qin Xiucai's identity was higher than that of the other party.

And then there is Xiang Bo's title, "Managing the Salt Stack Horse Team" must mean those knights who are in charge of the private salt organization, "Third Brother Yu" is in charge of the armed forces of the private salt organization, this must be the upper-level core of the private salt organization, such a character still needs Qin Xiucai to be politely respected, so what is the identity of this Xiucai, judging from the identity of Xiang Bo just now and the secrets of the private salt organization, this Qin Xiucai has nothing to do with ordinary readers......

"Master, the banquet has been delivered, and it will be arranged in the front hall according to the old rules?" Someone outside the door asked.

Qin Xiucai agreed, and then asked Zhu Da with a smile: "Zhu Da, what have you come up with?" Any idea what I do? ”

When these words were asked, even Xiang Bo's eyes were focused on Zhu Da, Zhu Da was silent, Xiucai Qin Chuan shook his head, the question he asked may not be able to think through even an adult, how can a teenager who has never read a book and grew up in a closed environment answer, the answer just now may be taught, this Zhu Da may just be a little brave.

Anyway, the baby daughter is lost and recovered, this is already a day of great joy, why bother to make everyone unhappy because of the exam, Qin Xiucai is already ready to gossip back.

"Exterminating the thieves is the most confidential thing in the Shengping Salt Stack, Mr. Qin can know this, and if he wants to be able to participate in the confidential affairs in the Salt Stack, at least he is also the identity of a master's staff......" Zhu Da spoke.

Xiucai Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, shook his head and smiled and said: "I also said that I haven't read a book, how can I know this if I haven't read a book." ”

In the heart of this Xiucai, it is decent to think of this, and you can guess it by patting your head, but it is not easy for a teenager who grew up in a poor country, this Zhu Da is not ambiguous in his words, he must have read the book, Qin Chuan was just about to end this conversation, but Zhu Da did not stop.

"That third brother Yu is in charge of the salt stack horse team, how can he also be an important person in the salt stack, but he is so polite and obedient to Mr. Qin, how can the person who masters the sword soldiers have such respect for the master's staff, presumably Mr. Qin can manage him, at least the position is above him, I think there will be no more than three people who can be above the third brother in this salt stack, Mr. Qin must be one of them, it's not good or the one who came up with the idea, I don't know what to call such a person, the chief manager?"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Xiucai took a step back with a shocked face, and only stopped when he touched the chair, looking at Zhu Da's expression full of incredulity.
