Chapter 9 Gift-giving

"Rogue Warrior?" Chen Ke looked at the two pieces of paper that Grandma Seven took back from the teahouse, and couldn't help but be surprised, he couldn't imagine that there was really a thief. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

This handwritten information is not only well written, but also well organized, the time, place, the stolen things, the identity of the stolen person, and the clues left at the scene are all clearly written, and the end of the paper is written in a larger font: "The above cases were all committed by a thief." ā€

Chen Ke put down the information in his hand and asked, "Seventh Grandma, who gave you this information?" ā€

"I don't know this, I did what you said, I went to the teahouse to inquire, and someone handed me these two pieces of paper, saying that they were clearly written. I couldn't read either, so I just took it back. The seventh grandmother paused for a moment, and then said, "Why are you talking strangely today, like a foreigner?" ā€

I was originally a foreigner, Chen Ke slandered in his heart, "Seventh Grandma, you have time to go to the teahouse and sit down, ask who wrote this, it is best to ask in detail." He knew that with Grandma Seven's shrewdness, it wouldn't be too difficult to inquire about something. And she is an old man, even in this era when women don't go out of the door and don't step out, they are not afraid of people making irresponsible remarks.

"Seventh Grandma, you have worked hard in the past two days," Chen Ke took out an ingot of twenty taels of silver and handed it to her, "You go to the street to buy a few exquisite gift lists and come back, and by the way, replace all the quilts in the room with new ones." Chen Ke decided to prepare a gift list first, then buy some gifts, and visit the neighbors.

"You are the head of the family, I am a servant, you can just give me an order. Ah, so much silver, too much, too much. The seventh grandmother took the silver with a smile, "The quilts in this room are all very good, what a waste of change." ā€

"Then replace the quilt in my room, and the wardrobe must also be replaced, all of them will be replaced with new ones, and you can ask Rongrong if they want to change their father and daughter. Now the price of grain is also expensive, and this little silver will not last for a few days. Chen Ke's Hangzhou dialect was mixed with Mandarin, and the seventh grandmother seemed to understand it, but she still nodded vigorously.

Waiting for the seventh grandmother to go out, Chen Ke picked up the paper on the table again and looked at it carefully. Looking at it, Chen Ke's eyes narrowed into a line, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of a smile.

Although he is not sure, he is already seven points sure that the person who stole his mobile phone is the famous "thief".

Looking further down, a case caught Chen Ke's attention.

The case occurred three days ago, when there was a theft from Xie Qingyuan's house in Qinghefang, and the stolen was a painting of the Xie family, "Go Newspaper Victory".

According to the introduction of the information, "Go Newspaper Map" depicts the chess scene of Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the Battle of Weishui, showing Xie An's composure and self-confidence in strategizing, winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and defeating the Hou Qin million heroes with 80,000 soldiers.

But this picture was painted less than a hundred years ago, and its value is not high, how can it be favored by thieves?

But that's not why Chen Ke paid attention to it. The real reason is that it is the only painting among all the stolen items.

Looking further down, it is Xie Qingyuan's information.

Xie Qingyuan, a native of Hangzhou, has been a scholarly family for generations, and has been cultivating and reading heirlooms. Xie Qingyuan once did the imperial history of Huguang Road, and was later demoted because he offended Shangguan, and then resigned and returned to his hometown and became a rich man in Hangzhou.

Chen Ke put down the information in his hand again, and his frowning brows also relaxed, a rough plan had already taken shape in his heart.

At this moment, Grandma Seven knocked on the door.

Chen Ke opened the door.

"Young Master Ke, this is the gift list you want. I'm afraid you're in a hurry, so I'll send the gift list back first and then buy something else. Grandma Seven handed over a dozen gift lists.

"Seventh grandmother, our family is equal, there is no master or young master." Chen Ke was a little uncomfortable with the title of "Young Master Ke".

"How can it be done, such a big yard, there will only be more and more people in the future, how to do it without rules. Okay, you take the gift list, I'll go out and look at the quilt wardrobe first, you readers, you are particular, you don't want good things here, you have to buy new ones. After the seventh grandmother finished nagging, she turned around and left.

Chen Ke touched his nose helplessly and smiled bitterly, he also wanted to set up a shelf to teach others a lesson, who knew that the seventh grandmother was not afraid of him at all.

However, Chen Ke can't care about these things for the time being, and the most urgent thing now is to catch the thief and get the phone back.

He first took out a gift list, wrote a few words, and then put the gift list into his arms along with the paper with the information written on it, and hurried out the door.

-------------------------------------------------------

Qinghefang, the mansion of the Xie family.

The housekeeper Fan Shouying hurriedly walked into Xie Qingyuan's study, "Master, there is a person named Chen Ke who asks to see you." ā€

"Chen Ke? Is that the Chen Ke who made a big fuss at the door of Qian Ji Rice Shop yesterday? Xie Qingyuan was reading a book and asked casually.

"It should be him, my lord even knows about this?"

"It's not Xiaoqi's girl who came back to say, what is there to see about this kind of hairy boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, you refuse it for me." Xie Qingyuan didn't raise his eyes.

"He also gave a gift slip, saying that he wanted you to open it for yourself." Fan Shouying handed over the gift list in his hand.

"Oh?" Xie Qingyuan took the gift list, opened it and looked at it, there were only a few words on the gift list: Go report victory.

"Rogue Warrior." As soon as Xie Qingyuan's words came out, he knew that something was wrong, the thief had been on the wanted list for so many years, once he was caught, he would inevitably be punished with a heavy sentence, how could he take the risk of showing up on his own initiative.

"Brother-in-law, invite him to the study." Fan Shouying is his brother-in-law, so Xie Qingyuan is called "brother-in-law".

Chen Ke followed Steward Fan into Xie's mansion, passing by a lotus pond, and there was a pavilion in one corner of the lotus pond.

In the pavilion stood a girl in a bright yellow dress, tall and slender, and next to the girl stood a girl, who should be a maid.

It's just that the girl has her back to herself, and she can't see the front face clearly. Chen Ke deliberately took off his hat and bowed to the woman very gentlemanly, which caused the maid to shout softly: "Miss, look, there is a bald head bowing to us." ā€

Chen Ke was so thundered by this sentence that he suddenly fell, although he guessed that the girl must have turned around, he didn't dare to look at it anymore, grabbed his tail, and fled.

Damn, how did you forget about your hair.

Chen Ke had just made a fool of himself, no longer distracted by the things around him, and followed Steward Fan step by step, concentrating on walking.
