"My lord, this shopkeeper Liao seems to be reluctant to ......"

"There are a lot of secrets in the Riverroom Guild Hall that you don't want outsiders to know, and this check-in record seems to be a big deal for ordinary people, but it is different in the eyes of some people." Meng Yan explained.

"It's still an adult who sees it thoroughly." Cai Jin smiled, "However, will this shopkeeper Liao play tricks and not give it to us?" ”

"No, he doesn't dare, although he has a strong force behind him, he doesn't want to confront this official openly, you know, this official is now barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes." Meng Yan smiled slightly and said firmly.

"Adults are really good at metaphors!" Cai Jin and Meng Yan looked at each other and smiled.

"My lord, this tea is good, top Jin Junmei, I didn't expect this Hejian Hall to have such good tea!" Cai Jin took a sip of tea, revealing a hint of surprise.

"Really?" Meng Yan picked up the teacup and took a sip, revealing a hint of surprise.

"It's not bad, Mr. Cai, is this Liao shopkeeper really good?"

After waiting for a stick of incense for a while, and not seeing Liao Junjie coming, Meng Yan couldn't help but give Cai Jin a look.

Cai Jin stood up in understanding: "My lord, let me take a look?" ”

"Hmm." Meng Yan nodded.

Cai Jin got up and walked out, pacing slowly in the direction that Liao Junjie was walking just now, pretending that I was out to walk around.

"Hurry up, hurry up, Lord Meng is waiting there......" Liao Junjie's urging voice came from a room, and Cai Jin immediately looked for the voice.

It was an attic, and Cai Jin stepped on the stairs to go up. I saw a hidden door, and there were two figures moving inside, one was Liao Junjie, the shopkeeper of the Hejian Guild they had just met, and the other should be a guy from the Hejian Guild, who was bending over, pouting his buttocks, and burying his head in a pile of papers and rummaging for things.

"Shopkeeper Liao?"

"Mr. Cai, why did you come here, it's so dirty here, it's all dust?" Liao Junjie hurriedly came out of it.

"Shopkeeper Liao. You're gone. My adult asked me to come and see if your shopkeeper Liao was hiding. Cai Jin said with a smile, how could he not hear the meaning of Liao Junjie's words?

"How can I be, I'm not looking for a record book for Lord Meng to check in and check out!"

"It's not a book from 10 years ago. Why did you look for so long? Cai Jin asked with a puzzled probe.

"The books were put away after that. Messily put together. Hard to find? ”

"Shopkeeper Liao, you run this Hejian Hall in an orderly manner, it stands to reason. Nothing like this should happen, you say? ”

"Mr. Cai, may I look for it again?" Liao Junjie wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Shopkeeper Liao, today is the Lantern Festival, my family will enter the palace later, and the time has been delayed, you Shopkeeper Liao can't get rid of it." Cai Jin snorted coldly, it was rare for a fox to fake a tiger.

When Liao Junjie heard this, his face suddenly changed, although he had news channels, he didn't hear that Meng Yan participated in tonight's Lantern Festival banquet, but to say that among the most favored young courtiers of the Holy Lord today, it was none other than Meng Yan, the patrol envoy who came today.

Whoever the Holy Lord invites to the palace for a banquet is not the turn of others to point fingers, and there is no need for anyone to explain.

"Mr. Cai, let Liao be fine for a while, and it will be fine immediately!"

"Okay, then Cai will give my family a handful, and I will give you a stick of incense." Cai Jin knows that don't force it too hard, so that both sides have steps down.

"Thank you, Mr. Cai."

"Let's go, don't keep my family waiting too long." Cai Jin waved his hand, and Shi Shiran turned around and returned.

"My lord, this Liao Junjie is really tired, he doesn't want to give us the register." Cai Jin replied.

"It seems that the water in the Riverhouse is very deep." Meng Yan nodded, this was expected.

"My lord, I put some pressure on Liao Junjie, if he knows each other, he should know what to do." Cai Jindao.

"Well, then wait a little longer."

"My lord, this tea is good, but it's a pity that it's a little cold......"

"Someone!"

A young girl in Tsing Yi lowered her head, stood on tiptoe, and walked in with small steps: "Master, what do you command?" ”

"The tea is cold, change to a hot one!"

"Yes!"

This is already the third cup, except for the first cup Meng Yan and Cai Jin drank half a cup, the second cup they didn't drink at all, but as soon as the tea was cold, they called it to change, which was also a disguised urging.

There is no more than three things, this tea to drink the third cup, the host has not yet appeared, the guest's patience should be worn out.

"Lord Meng's forgiveness, there are too many account books, and they have been piled up together for many years, and it is really difficult to find them for a while, delaying your precious time." Liao Junjie laughed again, and made a joke again.

"Well, the official also knows your difficulties, what about the account books?" Meng Yan didn't bother to bother with him, as long as he handed over the account books obediently.

"Xiao Cui, quickly show Master Meng the account books of the guests who registered their accommodations and entered and exited in September and October last year!" Liao Junjie wiped the sweat from his forehead and instructed a young man behind him.

"Sir, please take a look." Xiao Cui walked up with two blue-skinned account books that were not very thick, which were covered with dust, and it seemed that no one had turned them over for a long time.

"Xiao Cui, what are you doing, this account book is so dirty, what do you think of it?"

"It's okay, it's just a little dust, just dust it off, does the official have a habit of cleanliness!" Meng Yan reached out and took it directly, shook it slightly, and all the dust shook off.

"Master Meng, my subordinates don't know how to do things, don't mind." Liao Junjie was busy.

"The official is in a hurry, I don't blame you." Meng Yan had already opened the account book and looked through it from the beginning.

The records of the Kawama Kaikan are very detailed, not only by the names of the people, but also by the time of entry and exit.

On the page of the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, Meng Yan saw a record of Xi'er's entry into the Hejian Hall.

At the end of the Shen period, Miss Yahuan Xi'er of the Bai family stayed in the room of the boss of the guild hall, and she did not come out during the period.

It means that at the end of the Deuteronomy period. Xi'er came to the Hejian Hall, entered He Wendong's private room for a long time, and then never came out.

There should be no mistake in the records of the Riverma, and there are no signs of tampering on them, so this record should be credible.

Moreover, it is impossible for Liao Junjie to forge a check-in account book in such a short period of time, unless he is prepared in advance.

But Liao Junjie has no stake in He Wendong and Jiao Hong, and it is not worth him to do.

At the end of Shen Shi, Meng Yan frowned slightly, Bai Suxin's time of the case was at the beginning of the time. Other words. There was a difference of almost an hour.

And from Su Xinzhai to the Hejian Hall, if you walk, half an hour is enough, even if women are not as good as men. An hour has come.

So where did Xi'er go for half an hour in between?

There is almost no mention of Xi'er in the files of Dongchang and the Criminal Department on Bai Suxin's case. It was as if there was a collective aphasia.

It was Zhang Xuan who later discovered that Bai Suxin's case was a little heavier. It was also discovered that Xi'er, a key witness who may have zài.

However, at this time, he could no longer find Xi'er.

Could it be because Zhang Xuan tracked down Xi'er and led Jiao Hong to kill people and kill people? Because it is uncertain when Xi'er was killed. So, there is also a possibility of this.

Meng Yan knew that Zhang Xuan had a closed door in the Hejian Hall, and he didn't even see Liao Junjie's face.

At that time, Zhang Xuan was among the five grades of the Criminal Department, and in terms of grade, he was the same as Meng Yan now.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan is the chief official Jingshi who is the chief official of the review of criminal cases, and the power in his hands cannot be underestimated.

This Liao Junjie dared to treat him so badly, his fearless attitude, in addition to Zhang Xuan being a literati, he looked down on him, I am afraid that Liao Junjie believed that he had a tough backstage.

Although Zhang Xuan was born as a Jinshi, and in the same year, he and his teacher were also officials in the court, but in terms of power, they are far behind, not to mention that the students are also close and alien.

Zhang Xuan is working against Dongchang, how many people are willing to stand with him? If you don't get it right, it will affect yourself.

Meng Yan is different, he is a martial artist, and he is a Jinyi guard, and there is a big backer like Guo Nu behind him, and he is a young courtier who is favored by the emperor, especially his title of Mandate of Heaven, and his late prestige is even more fought with his fists.

Who is not frightened and who is not afraid?

The literati have a good face and are principled in doing things, Jinyiwei will not reason with you at all, and occasionally meet one, which is as rare as the blossoming of the iron tree.

"Who made these records?" Meng Yan asked.

That little Cui's head shrank slightly, and he looked at Liao Junjie, who glared at him, "What do you see me doing, answering Lord Meng's question?" ”

"Master Meng, the records on this are all made by villains." Xiao Cui replied with some cringe.

"These are all recorded by you, the handwriting is good, quite Yanliu's style, and you have been with Liao's shopkeeper for a few years?"

"Three, four years!"

"The days are not short, it seems that Shopkeeper Liao still values you very much, can you bring it with you to teach you hand-in-hand?"

"Xiao Cui is more obedient, so I let him stay by his side." Liao Junjie said with a sneer.

"It's good to be obedient, it's good to be obedient." Meng Yan nodded as he continued to look down.

The next article is about the middle of the time, He Wendong also returned to the Hejian Hall, and he also entered his private room directly, and never came out.

Then I looked at the next day, that is, on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, early in the morning, He Wendong hurriedly went out, and then I didn't see any records about Xi'er going out all day, and I asked the hall to send over breakfast and lunch.

The menu eaten is also recorded, it is not bad, there are meat and vegetarian, and it is very nutritious.

"Shopkeeper Liao, your record is about to catch up with the living notes written by the palace for the emperor?" The more Meng Yan looked at it, the more surprised he became, the things recorded on it were indeed related to personal privacy, and if the guests of the guild hall knew that the Hejian Guild Hall had actually mastered their meticulous and meticulous living habits, I am afraid it would be very uncomfortable.

Of course, out of the exploration of the needs of customers, Liao Junjie's approach is understandable, only by understanding the needs of his guests, can they serve comfortably and at ease, and if they live there, they don't want to leave, and the business can be done for a longer time.

If the service attitude is bad, love to live, what to do in the kitchen you give me what to eat, then the guests are not early to run out, even if the store is a big bully, can not be so deceitful, this big hotel in the capital, there are many halls. (To be continued......)
