Chapter Seventy-Four: The Villain Is Hard to Guard
Qin Li came to Jiayu Port by carriage, and after getting off the carriage, he found ten taels of silver, gave it to the little man who drove the car, and said:
"Pick me up here in an hour."
The little guy didn't stretch out his hand to take the silver tael, shook his head, and said:
"Little lady, you give too much."
Qin Li looked at a painting boat not far away, and the word "Qinfang" on it was extremely eye-catching. On this snowy night, the little maid was able to send her to the port safely, and was willing to wait for her in the same place for an hour.
As far as she is concerned, it has already done her a great favor.
"It's strangely cold, you can take these silver taels, you can also go to a nearby tea shop to sit and have a cup of tea."
The little girl found some broken silver, gave it to Qin Li, and said, "Please keep these broken silver." I went out to drive to earn a silver tael, but I didn't charge much. ”
Qin Li smiled awkwardly, and wanted to refuse, but saw that the little guy's eyes were resolute, as if he was begging her: accept it.
In desperation, Qin Li had to put away the broken silver. I was thinking that when I returned, I would give me more silver.
After Qin Li put away the broken silver, he turned around and left, but the little guy stepped forward and asked softly, "Little lady, you came out so late, do you want to go to the painting boat to drink tea, or?" ”
Most of the people who drove on this side of the harbor knew a lot about what was going on in the city.
As soon as Qin Li thought of this, he said truthfully to the little guy: "Don't tell the little brother, I didn't go to the painting boat to drink tea, but to find someone." ”
"I don't know how old the little lady is looking for? What does it look like? Tell me, if I have seen it, I will tell the truth. ”
The little girl looked at Qin Li, who was dressed in black, and saw that this woman was as beautiful as a fairy, and she was kind-hearted, and wanted to give him some more silver taels.
At first glance, you know that the little lady is a good person.
The little guy is driving on the port side to beg for a living? It's been a lot of experience outside. Does he look at people? I've never missed it. This time, does he still believe in his own vision? Think you can't be mistaken.
So he kindly reminded Qin Lidao:
"Little lady? I'm not a talker. But when I met you today, I also hope for you? I don't want anything to happen to you, so I'm kind enough to tell you. Would you like to go to the boat for tea? It's better to pass during the day. Because of the female shopkeeper of Huayue Building? Recently, I have been looking for people on the boat......"
As soon as Qin Li heard this, he quickly heard the sound of the words. This little guy wants to tell her that the female shopkeeper of Huayue Building will make people in the teacups of beautiful women? Add medicated powder.
What kind of medicinal powder has a certain calming effect? It can also cause some hallucinations.
"Just the night before, there were two very handsome girls, who had been harmed by the powder, and voluntarily followed the men into the room. Those men, even if they have them? I won't marry them home. Wretched. ”
Qin Li could see that the little girl was very sympathetic to those girls.
True? They are indeed so pitiful.
She guessed in her heart, Mo Zhu was taken away by Fu Yu? Could it be that he was also taken to the painting boat by Fu Yu and used by Fu Yu again?
Although Mozhu is not a big beauty? But tall? Good figure? White skin and large eyes. In general, the facial features are okay, at least past the passing line.
In addition, Mozhu, like Moyu, is also literate.
If Fu Yuzhen deceived Mo Zhu, who would he introduce to him, he would be able to earn at least fifty taels of silver, right?
In a situation like the Fu family now, fifty taels of silver is enough for the people of the Fu family to use it for several days.
Qin Li knew that the carriage that Fu Yu and the others were riding in had also stopped at the port at that time, and did not go to Fu Fu's side. You can know that Fu Yu must have taken Mozhu to the painting boat after getting off the carriage.
So, which painting boat will he take Mozhu on?
Qin Li had no choice but to indirectly inquire with the little guy:
"Do you know which boat those people usually go to for tea?"
A trace of panic flashed in the little girl's eyes, shook his head, and said, "Little lady, you just need to remember that you don't want to drink tea on the painting boat as much as possible." As for which boat it is best not to go to, don't ask. ”
Qin Li is no longer reluctant, there are some things that are not suitable to ask at the port.
She approached the barge step by step.
When she came to the barge, she saw that among all the painting boats docked in Jiayu Port, the most luxurious painting boat, the Qinfang painting boat.
Standing on the barge, you can hear the melodious music coming from the boat of Qinfang's painting boat, as well as the laughter one after another.
Qin Li guessed that Fu Yu should be on a certain painting boat. In order to prevent Fu Yu from recognizing her after seeing her, she walked to another small painting boat, gave the shopkeeper of the silver child, and borrowed someone's private room for use.
I changed into men's clothes in the private room and came out again.
When the female shopkeeper saw Qin Li, who was dressed as a man, she couldn't help but "tsk" twice and praised: "The little lady looks good whether she wears a gorgeous dress or a brocade robe." ”
Qin Li didn't mind, some people called her "little lady", because she came here just to change clothes. After changing, I have to go to the Qinfang Painting Boat on the boat.
The words of the female shopkeeper came to my ears:
"The little lady is so beautiful as a flower, in the middle of the night, it is better to drink tea and listen to music on our boat, and not go out to hang out. Because it's not safe outside. ”
Qin Li glanced at the female shopkeeper suspiciously, and said, "In recent years, the world has been peaceful, and we have all lived a life of peace and contentment. In our Daning country, where will there be unsafe places? ”
The female shopkeeper hurriedly gave Qin Li a look, wanting to tell her that this was not what she said. The female shopkeeper stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction where Qin Fang drew the boat, and said:
"Not long ago, two girls went over there, and they suffered a little, and they had no place to find someone to reason. I see that the little lady is as young as them, and looking at the good face, she shouldn't know the situation over there. While there is no one at this time, I will talk to the little lady. ”
Qin Li smiled slightly, "Okay." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang", and the sound of opening the door came.
Qin Li raised his eyes and saw that a man in a crimson brocade robe was holding a young woman's hand and came to the counter.
As soon as the man walked over, the smell of strong spices on his body, as well as the smell of wine all over his body, suddenly rushed into Qin Lide's nasal cavity.
After she smelled it, she felt very uncomfortable, and subconsciously let it go to the side.
The man didn't look at Qin Li much, a thin and delicate "little brother" who looked like a woman, what did he have to look at? Just said to the female shopkeeper who was standing in front of the counter and was about to make a plate:
"This girl drinks well, even if she can't compose poems or sing songs, but for the sake of her drinking with my son, I am willing to give you more silver."
The female shopkeeper smiled with satisfaction, "Childe has a good eye, and the girls who entertain guests on our ship are all very enthusiastic." If you think this girl has a good amount of wine, I'll have someone bring you another jar of wine, and invite you to drink. ”
The man shook his head slightly and said, "Heh, it's getting late, and my son wants to go back to rest." You see, Ben Gongzi didn't bring a waiter out, so it was better to let this girl send Ben Gongzi back. Wait for tomorrow morning, my son will send her over. ”
As he spoke, the man had already taken out ten taels of silver and placed them on the counter.
