213 But he is the master behind him
Yu Qiao really couldn't stay any longer, and said leisurely: "I'll leave here." ”
Wang 18 arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to Miss." ”
Out of Silver Thread Alley, Yu Qiao exhaled vigorously and took out the IOU in his sleeve, the pattern of the seal was exactly the same as the pattern on the jade pendant that Watson gave him.
She stood in the snow, took out the jade pendant and pinched it in the palm of her hand, as if she had lost her soul.
Qin Huaidao stood with her for a while, and then asked, "Who gave this thing?" ”
She suddenly smiled: "It's just a batch of antiques purchased by my father, and there are such items in it, which I think are eye-catching, so I took them with me." ”
She seems to have come for a purpose today, so what she said must be false.
But he didn't ask, and if she didn't want to say, it would be in vain to ask. Or, she never regarded him as a close confidant.
I was depressed and melancholy for no reason, and said indifferently: "Seeing that it's getting late, let's go back to the house to have dinner with my mother." ”
got on the horse, Yu Qiao didn't say a word.
Watson is not without family and friends, in fact, he has an unfathomable network of intersections. This Silverwisp Alley is even one of his strongholds.
Whether Wang Eighteen is his family, his servant, or his subordinate, his status is by no means ordinary.
Since I came here twice before, I was able to win, because I secretly played tricks and tricks for Watson's sake.
can win today, but because Wang Eighteen didn't dare to let her lose, or rather, Wang Eighteen didn't dare to win the jade pendant.
How can you tell others these things?
Perhaps it was about his life......
Her heart has never been so flustered.
Since he has such a good hiding place, why should he go to my Song Mansion to hide......
Is it really hiding from the enemy, or is there something else?
What is there in my Song family that he wants?
Could it be that even the affection for me has a purpose......
Qin Huaidao thought of another thing, in this capital, whether it is an official eunuch, a businessman, a three-six-nine, etc., their net worth background is mastered by the emperor, and this silver wisp lane, the person surnamed Wang, who is in charge, has been in the capital for more than a hundred years, and has made a living by operating casinos for generations, and pays a lot of taxes to the court every year.
Wang 18, has taken over his father's business for more than 20 years, according to the records of Dicui Pavilion, said that he is ordinary, upright, although the industry is not honorable, but just right. Yes, it is quite feared, and no one dares to make trouble in Silverwig Lane.
But in the light of today's events, there are too many counterintuitive things.
One, Song Yuqiao deliberately caused trouble today, how could Wang 18 tolerate her like this?
Second, the income of Silver Thread Lane is quite rich, Wang Eighteen has no other hobbies, and he has never even started a family, how can he owe this million taels of silver?
Third, what is the purpose of Song Yuqiao's actions today?
This place needs to be investigated in detail.
The two of them had their own thoughts, returned home, had an evening meal with Mrs. Qin, and chatted together for a long time before saying goodbye.
The snow fell for a day, but it stopped during the night, and only a thick layer of snow accumulated on the ground, and there was a slight sound when I stepped on it.
Qin Huaidao took a step forward and walked in front of her, each step made deep footprints on the ground, and Yu Qiao stepped on the place where he stepped with every step.
Although he deliberately turned his big stride into a small step, Yu Qiao still needed to take as big strides as possible to step on his footprints.
Walking like a split is a description of a man's long legs, which is indeed true.
After entering the courtyard, the two of them stood still, and Yu Qiao curtsied to him and said, "I'll go back to the house now, Brother Dao should rest early." ”
His eyes looked deeply into her and asked, "Can you trust me?" ”
Yu Qiao said: "I naturally trust you." ”
He said, "Since you can trust me, I want to take a closer look at your jade pendant." ”
Yu Qiao looked at him and was silent.
He twitched the corners of his lips: "You still can't trust me." ”
The more she felt Watson was mysterious, the more reluctant she was to let others know.
But is Qin Huaidao someone else? Since she met, putting aside the kinship of her relatives, he has also been very helpful to her.
She said, "Why don't I go to Brother Dao's room and sit down." ”
The two entered the house and sat down by the stove, Qin Huaidao picked up the tongs, put a charcoal fire into the hand stove, and then put the hand stove on her lap.
At this moment, she felt completely cold.
In fact, as soon as they entered the courtyard, Qin Zhong and Qin Yong knew about it, but somehow, they avoided it from a distance, as if they were afraid of disturbing the two of them.
Qin Huaidao raised his voice and said, "Make a pot of hot tea." ”
Outside the window, he said, "Yes." ”
The two sat and didn't speak, waiting until Qin Yong brought the tea and then withdrew.
Yu Qiao took out the jade pendant from his purse and handed it to Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. He is the son of the Duke of Qin, and he has a wide range of knowledge since he was a child, like these antiques, he can see the value of geometric.
Yu Qiao said: "You naturally know that this thing is not worth so much silver. ”
Qin Huaidao said softly: "The value we are talking about is only determined from the texture and age of the item itself, in fact, the real value of any item is the meaning it represents." ”
This could not be more reasonable.
The reason why this thing is valuable is that it only represents Watson's identity, and Watson's identity is enough to make the people of Silverwisp Lane obey.
He is the true owner of Silverwilight Lane.
Yu Qiao's lips squirmed, but she still endured it in the end.
She likes Watson and likes a person, doesn't she just want to protect him? Including guarding his secrets.
Qin Huaidao said bluntly: "I think that the people of Silver Silk Lane know this thing, so they let you come here today." ”
Although she is smart, Qin Huaidao is not stupid, she can't argue.
Qin Huaidao said suddenly: "You said that this item is one of the goods purchased by your father, could it be that it was because of this item that your father was killed?" ”
Yu Qiao hurriedly said: "Naturally not, this is a backlog of goods in the store for many years." ”
Qin Huaidao looked at him.
Yu Qiao smiled: "You think too much, it's not what you think at all." ”
She was so sure that he was even more convinced that she knew the origin of the object.
Reaching out, he returned the jade pendant to Yu Qiao.
Yu Qiao immediately got up and said, "I'll go back to the room." ”
He also stood up and wanted to keep it, but he couldn't find a reason or excuse.
Rain Joe bent his knees and left.
He stood for a moment, then walked to the bookcase, picked up the pen and paper, and drew the pattern on the jade pendant from memory.
Then he quietly left the house, went to Dicui Pavilion, and handed over the drawings to Hongxuan.
Hongxuan only glanced at it, and then smiled: "You went to Silverwill Lane?" You are not good at gambling. ”
Qin Huaidao exclaimed: "Sister knows this pattern? ”
Hongxuan said: "This is the seal of Yinjiao Lane, and no one dares to repay any IOU that has passed this seal." ”
