Chapter 34: Climb over the wall to catch the thief
In the evening, at the Eight Immortals Bridge, in a burst of crackling firecrackers, the old plaque of 'Kwan Kee Pawnshop' was taken off, and the two guys, Lao Qi and the black pig, each stood on a ladder and hung a new plaque on the gate.
Huangfu Gui commanded below: "Slow down! Be careful! Old Seven, it's a little taller over there, a little higher, okay! ”
The plaque was finally hung up, with a silver frame on a black background, and on it were five glittering big golden characters, 'Jin Fu Ji Pawnshop', which was the name of the store obtained by the old family owner Huangfu Bailing and wrote the inscription himself.
Jin refers to no Jin, and the emperor's name is Ah Fu, so the pawnshop is named 'Jin Fu Ji', which is very catchy and very flavorful.
Looking at the five golden characters, Huang Fugui smiled so much that his mouth couldn't close together, his eyes were a little moist, and the wish that he had been looking forward to for decades was finally realized today, if his mother had a spirit under the spring, how should she be proud of herself!
The new pawnshop was prepared very smoothly, the day before yesterday the inventory for a day, that night, the two sides invited the land to protect as an intermediary, the owner of the pawnshop was anxious to return to his hometown, so he gave them a seven-fold discount, on the condition that a one-time payment of five thousand taels of cash, the two sides happily reached a transfer agreement.
Due to the long wait some time ago, Huang Fugui was a little anxious, he couldn't wait to open a business today, but he didn't dare, unless he didn't change the brand, he had to change the business post first, change the brand and not change the business post, once it was found by the government, he would be heavily fined.
"Huangfu shopkeeper, congratulations!"
A soft voice came from behind him, Huang Fugui turned around, and saw that it was a middle-aged man, a small hat in green clothes, a thin face, three long beards floating on his chest, followed by two entourages, Huang Fugui only felt that he was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, so he smiled and said: "Thank you Brother Ren for cheering up, I don't know ...... Brother Ren"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Fugui was suddenly so frightened that his heart stopped beating, and he remembered who this person was, Donghai County Assassin Shi Su Hanzhen.
Huang Fugui was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost knelt down, Su Hanzhen helped him and whispered to him: "I'm here in micro-service, so I don't need to be polite." ”
Huangfugui woke up and hurriedly smiled and nodded, "Yes!" Right! Su Thorn .... That Mr. Su is here to find Wu Jin! ”
Su Hanzhen nodded and asked, "Is he there?" ”
"In! At! He was in the warehouse, and I took my husband there. ”
"I'm sorry for the emperor's shopkeeper."
Su Hanzhen turned around and ordered his entourage, "You guys wait here." ”
He followed Huang Fugui into the pawnshop, as soon as he entered the pawnshop lobby, Su Hanzhen found a different place from other pawnshops, the counter of other pawnshops was extremely high, almost level with Chengren's eyes, it seemed that the people in the pawnshop were tall, and the counter of this pawnshop only had people's chest and abdomen, and there were three wide-backed high chairs, which could make guests sit comfortably in front of the counter, and the back of the chair was very wide, semicircular, which could semi-surround the guests.
Huangfu Gui saw that Su Hanzhen was a little curious in his eyes, so he smiled and introduced: "This is Wujin's idea, respect the guests, I think it's right, originally the guests were a little uncomfortable when they came to be things, if we were high, this invisibly increased the pressure on the guests, so we would rather bend our waists a little, but also make the guests' hearts a little more comfortable." ”
He patted the chair again and said, "Don't underestimate this chair, this is a detail!" We never thought of arranging chairs for guests, but Wu Jin thought of it, not only that, but he also used a wide-backed circle chair, he said that ordinary people don't want others to see things, so they block it with a wide back to give them a sense of security, hey! Well thought out! Doing business is really what he said. ”
"What did he say?"
"He says the devil is in the details!"
'Details determine success or failure', Su Hanzhen read two sentences, nodded and exclaimed: "That's really good, very good, I also remember it." ”
The two walked through the lobby and came to the backyard, the backyard was a dozen rooms, originally a brick house with white walls and black tiles, and the Guan family specially used a large bluestone to build an exterior wall shell on the three edges, which is the warehouse of the pawnshop.
As soon as the two approached the big iron gate, they heard Wu Jin laughing in the warehouse: "Fifth uncle, there are antiques and jewels here, why don't we open a jewelry and antique shop in the future?" ”
The iron door opened, Wu Jin walked out from inside, and when he looked up, he saw Su Hanzhen, he was stunned for a moment, "Master Su!" ”
Su Hanzhen saw that he was wearing a loose linen robe and a pair of bamboo slippers on his bare feet, and couldn't help but smile: "Wujin is very idle today!" ”
Wu Jin bowed and bowed, "I didn't know that Lord Su was coming, it was rude." ”
"It's okay!" Su Hanzhen smiled and waved his hand, he glanced at the emperor behind him with the corner of his eye, "Wujin, I have something to look for you." ”
Wujin is a lazy person, he has already pulled the line of Su Hanzhen to his grandfather and eldest brother, and settled the Huangfu Canal, and he doesn't want to ask about the rest.
But it seems that Lin wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Su Hanzhen came to him again, and he also knew what trouble Su Hanzhen had encountered, he didn't have to think about it, it must be that the relationship between the prince of the court and the imperial uncle was bad, and when he arrived in Donghai County, Huangfuqu and Su Hanzhen did it against each other, Huangfuqu is a villain, who never challenges in a bright way, but likes to play the yin hand from behind, it is estimated that Su Hanzhen was recruited.
"Okay, Master Su, please come with me."
Wujin led Su Hanzhen to the guest hall in front of him, poured him a cup of tea, Su Hanzhen took a sip of tea, and thanked him first: "The receipt last time played a big role, you contributed a lot, the prince asked me to express my gratitude to your family for him, in addition, you go back and tell the old family that the prince will protect the safety of your Huangfu family." ”
The last receipt, Wu Jin gave it to Su Hanzhen in the name of the family, his grandfather didn't know about it at all, Wu Jin smiled and didn't speak.
At this time, he suddenly found that although Su Hanzhen was smiling, there was a worry in his eyes that could not be concealed, and he couldn't help but be a little secretly surprised in his heart.
"Master Su, what's wrong?"
"Alas!" Su Hanzhen sighed, "I didn't use people properly, not only did I hurt myself, but I may also hurt the prince." ”
"Your Excellency, you might as well make it clear."
"I just got the news that my most trusted staff member Yang Xueyi may have betrayed me, I didn't believe it, after all, I've been with me for seven or eight years, and it's been less than a month since I came to Donghai County, so did you betray me? But I found that a secret letter written to me by the prince was missing, and only Yang Xueyi knew where to put this letter, so I had to believe it. ”
Wu Jin's mind turned, it turned out that Huangfu Qu was a staff member who bought Su Hanzhen, this move is vicious!
"I don't know where the adults got the news, I mean Yang Xueyi's betrayal, who told the adults?"
"It was my other staff member Yang Wei who heard by chance, Wujin, this is not important, the important thing is my letter, if it is obtained by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Su Hanzhen was extremely worried, the secret letter was just sent yesterday, in the letter the prince mentioned the collection of evidence of Uncle Shen Guo in Jiangning Mansion, if the emperor saw this letter, the prince would be in danger, the prince also specially told him to burn it after reading it, he was too careless, because he didn't read it, so he was used to being sandwiched in his "Analects Micro Note", and now it's too late to regret it, he can only see if Wujin has the means to take the letter back, he has already learned from Weiming that Wujin sneaked into the county mansion to steal the account book, He was full of expectations for Wu Jin in his heart.
Wujin was a little confused, since Su Hanzhen knew that it was Yang Xueyi, she would just go directly to him for interrogation and ask for a return, and what did she come to do with herself?
Su Hanzhen seemed to know Wujin's thoughts, he sighed and said: "I originally wanted to go directly to him to ask, but I don't have evidence after all, I am afraid that he will deny it, so as to startle the snake, that letter should still be in Donghai County now, if I find Yang Xueyi, that letter will be sent away overnight, so I want to ask you to find Yang Xueyi for me." ”
Su Hanzhen used the word 'please', with his identity, he gave a word of invitation to a flat-headed little man like Wujin, which was undoubtedly very down, Wujin had a headache, he didn't want to get too involved in Su Hanzhen's affairs, but he had to give this face, and he had to agree for the sake of the eldest brother.
"Alright! Please rest assured, Lord Su, I will do my best. ”
Su Hanzhen was overjoyed, he looked at the sky, and said, "It's going to be dark soon, you can set off now, I'll wait here for your news." ”
........
When Yang Xueyi first came to Donghai County, he temporarily lived in Su Hanzhen's Thorn History Mansion, but Yang Xueyi had a lustful problem and liked to visit the Qinglou, and Su Hanzhen didn't like him the most, in order to be unrestrained, Yang Xueyi rented a small courtyard half a month ago and lived alone.
The house he rented was not far from the Thorn Mansion, at the end of a small alley, which turned out to be the old mansion of a servant, who rented it to him at a low price in order to please him.
Today, Su Hanzhen deliberately pressed Yang Xueyi with a few important urgent drafts, and Wei Ming couldn't do it for a while, so Yang Xueyi was busy until dark, and after finishing his work, he rushed to his residence in a hurry, tonight he was going to Baihualou to support the famous Luo Feiyan, he had to come back first to get some money.
'Click! ’
He took out the key and opened the copper lock, and pushed the door open with a creak, and the moonlight sprinkled on the old courtyard, as if the old woman had a thick white fat powder on her face, and the old mansion was too quiet, giving people an eerie feeling.
But in Yang Xueyi's eyes, this cold moonlight reminded him of the ** of the famous Luo Feiyan Baihuahua, and his heart was about to melt with lust.......
There were three rooms in the courtyard, a kitchen, a living room, and a study and bedroom, and he opened the door of the bedroom, and entered the dark room, and casually touched the wall on the left, where there was a niche, where the oil lamp was placed, but he felt empty.
Yang Xueyi was stunned, he remembered that he specially poured a pot of lamp oil when he left in the morning, and the lamp was placed here, how could it be gone?
'Boom! A fire lit up in the room, and Yang Xueyi was startled, "Who is it!" ”
The firelight lit the oil lamp, and a ball of light spread rapidly to all corners of the room, and the whole room lit up, Yang Xueyi only saw a young man in black lying very comfortably on the Taishi rattan chair he usually sat on in the room, with a lazy smile on his face, looking at him with a smile, as if he was the owner of this room, and was woken up by his own uninvited guest.
The door was not closed, Yang Xueyi instinctively turned around and fled, but as soon as he stepped out of the door with one foot, he only heard a young man's lazy voice from the house, "Don't you want your five thousand taels of silver?" ”
Five thousand taels of silver was like a huge suction, sucking Yang Xueyi back, he slowly closed the door, his eyes stared at this uninvited guest, and for a long time, three words were squeezed out between his teeth: "Who are you?" ”
"Yang Er, do you really not know me?"
Yang Er was the name of the crew on the road, Yang Xueyi suddenly thought of the big ship when he came to Weiyang County, he rubbed his eyes, and finally recognized the young man in front of him, wasn't it that Wujin? Half a month ago, I had dinner with him in the Assassin's Mansion, the younger brother of Huangfu Weiming.
"It's you, you..... What do you do in my room? ”
I saw Wu Jin slowly take out an envelope from his clothes, put it on the table, and said with a slight smile: "I'm really sorry, I wanted to borrow a book from you to read, but I found this in "The Mean", a silver ticket of five thousand taels of silver, Yang Er, I can't see that you are quite rich!" ”
